Objective To investigate the change of plasma marinobufagenin (MBG) level and the expression of its receptor Na+-K+-ATPase (NKA) in renal biopsy specimens of chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) patients. Methods Twenty-eight CGN patients and 14 healthy people were enrolled in the study. The plasma MBG concentration was measured by competitive inhibition ELISA system. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry staining were applied to detect the expression of NKA in renal biopsy specimens of 28 CGN patients and analyzed by semi quantitively. Results Compared with healthy controls, CGN patients had significant lower plasma MBG concentration [(0.579±0.214) nmol/L vs (0.715±0.154) nmol/L, P<0.05], without further significant difference between CGN patients with hypertension and with normal blood pressure [(0.595±0.231) nmol/L vs (0.557±0.197) nmol/L, P>0.05]. Meanwhile, proximal tubular staining of NKA was decreased compared with normal controls. The NKA positive staining area of the CGN group was lower than that of normal controls [2.1% (0.5%-6.2%) vs 5.6% (3.5%-10.8%), P<0.01] and correlated with 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (r=0.551, P<0.01).Conclusion Decreased plasma MBG level and its receptor expression on proximal tubules may play a role in the regulation of sodium in CGN.

Objective To explore the clinical features and gene mutations of blepharophimosis-ptosis-intellectual-disability syndrome (BPID). Methods The clinical data, diagnosis and treatment of a child with BPID in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were reviewed. Based on the literature retrieved from PubMed database, the common classification, clinical features, diagnosis and genetic counseling of BPID and its affiliated blepharophimosis-mental retardation syndromes (BMR) were reviewed. Results This male infant was 39 weeks of gestational age with birth weight of 1920 g, and was admitted to NICU 15 min after birth due to dyspnea. The main clinical manifestations were facial deformity such as biepharophimosis, ptosis and micromandible, inspiratory dyspnea with laryngeal cartilage softening, malformations of the thorax and feeding difficulties. A heterozygous mutation in UBE3B gene was identified by complete exon sequencing and he was diagnosed of BPID, a rare genetic disorder. Reviewing the literature, there was no relevant report in domestic. While one foreign literature was found to report 5 patients from 4 families having a subtype of BMR, a kind of autosomal recessive diseases caused by mutations in the UBE3B gene. Conclusion BPID is a rare clinical entity of BMR. Complete exon sequencing can be used to diagnose the disease.
