Objective To compare the effect,relapse rate and outcomes between mycophenolate mofetil(MMF)and pulse intravenous cyclophosphamide(CTX)in the induction therapy of pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis(PICGN)in Chinese.Methods A total of 44 patients who had PICGN[16 male,28 female,age(46.8?13.7)y],of whom 25 patients were ANCA positive,were enrolled in this study.All patients had renal involvement with ≥50% crescent formation prior to the study and received either MMF treatment(MMF group,n=22)or intermittent CTX pulse therapy(CTX group,n=22).The patients in both groups also received methylprednisolone(MP)pulse therapy followed by oral prednisone.General conditions,clinicopathological findings,remission rate,relapse rate,and outcomes were compared.All the patients were followed up until June 2005,with an average follow-up of 8～60(Med 27)months in the MMF group,and 6～72(Med 29)months in the CTX group.Results No significant difference was found between MMF group and CTX group in general conditions,base parameters of clinical and pathological findings.The remission rate at the 12th month in MMF and CTX group was 90.9% and 72.7% respectively.The complete remission rate in MMF group(59.1%)was significantly higher than that of the CTX group(27.3%)(P

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect and molecular mechanism of DNA damage caused by suicide gene therapy system HSV-TK/GCV under Tet-On regulation in human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 infected by recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV). METHODS: We used comet assay to detect the effect of HSV-TK/GCV suicide gene regulation system on MCF-7 DNA damage, and analyzed the expression change of relative DNA damage response active genes and proteins with RT-PCR and Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with other control groups, the comet assay showed that MCF-7 cells with HSV-TK/GCV treatment had obvious comet tails, and the expression level of DNA damage response active genes and proteins changed obviously in the HSV-TK/GCV treatment group,such as ATM, p53 and p27,but CyclinE and CDK2 did not change. CONCLUSION DNA damage on MCF-7 cells is resulted from HSV-TK/GCV in suicide gene therapy system through a p53-dependent signal pathway, causing cell cycle arrest and cell death.

Objective To investigate the effect of occipitocervical fusion in patients with craniovertebral junction deformity combined with atlantoaxial instability. Methods The clinical data of 59 patients with craniovertebral junction deformity combined with atlantoaxial instability from March 2013 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were treated with occipitocervical fusion. The atlantoaxial distance (ADI), distance between the odontoid and Chamberlain line and cervicomedullary angle (CMA) were used to evaluate atlantoaxial dislocation, vertical displacement and spinal cord compression, and the Japan Orthopedic Association (JOA) score was used to evaluate the effect before operation and 7 days after operation. Results The operation time was 109 to 214 (148.5 ± 20.1) min, the transoperative bleeding was 55 to 210 (122.0 ± 16.7) ml, and no injury of spinal cord nerve and vertebral artery occurred during operation. The CMA and JOA score 7 d after operation were significantly higher than that before operation: (153.8 ± 5.4)° vs. (131.2 ± 7.1) ° and (12.7 ± 1.8) scores vs. (10.6 ± 1.4) scores, and the ADI and distance between the odontoid and Chamberlain line 7 d after operation were significantly lower than that before operation: (2.9 ± 0.7) mm vs. (8.3 ± 2.7) mm and (3.2 ± 1.4) mm vs. (8.2 ± 2.3) mm, and there were statistical difference (P＜0.05). One case (1.7%, 1/59) died of massive brainstem infarction 1 d after operation; 2 patients (3.4%, 2/59) had undergone a revision operation due to fusion failure 3 months after operation; other 56 patients in reduction, internal fixation and bone graft fusion. The patients were followed up for 6 to 38 (15.9 ± 7.2) months, and the symptom relief was in 56 cases. The rate of symptom relief was 94.9% (56/59). The JOA score at last follow-up was significantly higher than that before operation: (13.3 ± 1.8) scores vs. (10.6 ± 1.4) scores, and there was statistical difference (P＜0.05). Conclusions The occipitocervical fusion can effectively relieve spinal cord compression and atlantoaxial instability in patients with craniovertebral junction deformity combined with atlantoaxial instability.

OBJECTIVETo analysis the pathological demography in Chinese patients undergoing renal biopsy from our nephrology center.

METHODSBetween January 1979 and October 2000 in Jinling Hospital, Nanjing, China, 10,002 attempts of percutaneous renal were performed in patients with renal disease from 33 provinces of China. The pathological classifications were made according to the WHO criteria of 1982 for renal pathology or the modified WHO criteria of 1995 by a panel of pathologists and nephrologists during routine clinical-pathological rounds. The pathological demography between those specimens collected from 1979 - 1989 and those from 1990 - 1999 was compared.

RESULTSThe mean age of the 10,002 subjects undergoing renal biopsy was 31.4 +/- 13.0 years (ranging from 1 to 78 years), with a male to female ratio of 1.3:1; for the 592 renal transplant recipients, the mean age was 37.5 +/- 9.1 years (ranging from 16 to 66 years), with a male to female ratio of 2.36:1. Primary glomerular diseases (PGD) accounted for 71% of the total patients undergoing renal biopsies, secondary glomerular nephritis (SGN) 23%, tubular-interstitial diseases 3.2%, unclassified renal diseases 1.3%, hereditary and congenital renal diseases 1.0%, end stage renal diseases 0.96%, and recently realized or rare renal diseases 0.15%. IgA nephropathy (IgAN) was the most frequent pathological pattern (40%) of PGD, followed by mesangial proliferative lesion (MsPL) (30%), membranous nephropathy (MN) (10%), and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) (6%). Lupus nephritis (LN) was the most pathology common seen (74%) in SGN. During the 22 years of the study period, there was a steady increase in patients with SGN discovered during pathological evaluation of renal disorders. A rise in prevalence was found in IgA nephropathy, MN (both P < 0.001), crescentic glomerulonephritis (P < 0.0001), anti-GBM disease, and hemolytic-uremic syndrome/thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura related renal damages (both P < 0.001). There was a decrease in endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis (P < 0.001) and IgM nephropathy (IgMN) (P < 0.01) from 1990 - 1999 as compared to 1979 - 1989. Infrequent renal pathological entities were also diagnosed in this group, including Niemann Pick disease, Fabry's disease, POEMS syndrome, and lipoprotein glomerulonephropathy.

CONCLUSIONSThis is the largest series of renal biopsy data in China, and therefore may reflect the demographic picture of renal diseases in this country. Changes in prevalence of renal pathological entities were reflected in this group of patients over the last 22 years. In primary glomerular diseases, IgA nephropathy is still the most frequently observed pathological pattern. In SGN, LN appeared the most often. Increased prevalence was found in anti-GBM nephritis and HUS/TTP.
