Objective To study the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C), which is known to be capable of inducing cell proliferation of lymphatic endothelium and development of lymphatic vessels, and to study its correlation with cervical lymph node metastasis in human laryngeal carcinomas. Methods The expression of VEGF-C protein in the cancer, its adjacent tissue, and normal tissue obtained from resected specimens of 46 cases of laryngeal cancer was assessed with an immunohistochemical staining assay followed by light microscopic examination, and its relationship with cervical lymph node metastasis was analyzed. Results Immunohistochemical staining of VEGF-C was different obviously in different localities of the resected. The expression of VEGF-C protein was observed in all the central portion, peripheral tissue, and normal tissue of the postoperative specimens. The positive rate of intratumoral VEGF-C was significantly higher than that of adjacent and normal tissue. It was also noted that the positive rate of intratumoral VEGF-C was well correlated with pathological grades, T stages and stages of lymph node metastasis. Conclusions The results suggested that VEGF-C may be a factor of lymphatic metastasis of laryngeal cancer, and it is possible to be used as a predictor of lmphatic metastasis of laryngeal cancer.

Objective To understand the relationship between the dietary patterns and metabolic syndrome among elderly people in Zhejiang province,in order to provide scientific basis and reference for nutrition interventions.Methods Data were obtained from the 2010-2012 Chinese National Nutrition and Health Survey,and factor analysis was used to obtain food patterns among elderly people in Zhejiang province.The Logistic regression was used to explore the association of the food patterns with metabolic syndrome and its components.Results The intakes of bean products,nuts,fruits,eggs,and milk in elderly people were generally low,and the intakes of livestock and poultry meat,cooking oil and salt were relatively high.5 dietary patterns were derived by factor analysis:high-quality protein diet,mediterranean diet,condiments diet,traditional dietary pattern and western dietary pattern.The medical test results in 780 elderly people showed that the standardized prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the elderly was 28.8％,standardized central obesity rate was 41.2％,standardized hypertension rate was 50.3％ and standardized hyperglycemia rate was 39.5％.Logistic regression analysis showed that different dietary patterns had different effects on the metabolic syndrome and its components.Conclusions The prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome and the abnormal rates of its components are high in the elderly in Zhejiang.The intakes of fruits and milk are generally low,and intakes of livestock and poultry meat,cooking oil and salt are relatively high.The relationship between dietary patterns and MS or its components is complicated,so it is necessary to guide the elderly people to adopt reasonable diet by referring to the Diet Pagoda in order to reduce the risk of MS or its components.

Objectives To analysis clinical pathology of organ speciifc IgA vasculitis (IgA nephropathy) and systemic IgA vasculitis (allergic purpura) of purpura nephritis in children. Methods Clinical and pathological data of hospitalized pediatric patients of IgA nephropathy and purpura nephritis were retrospectively analyzed from June 1993 to November 2014. Results There were 405 patients of IgA nephropathy (256 males and 149 females). The ratio of male to female was 1.7:1. The average age was 10.2±2.8 years. The nephrotic syndrome (31.6%) was the most common clinical type, followed by hematuria and proteinuria (27.9%). There were 548 patients of purpura nephritis, 329 males and 219 females. The ratio of male to female was 1.5:1. The average age was 10.2±3.1 years. The hematuria and proteinuria (61.6%) was the most common clinical type, followed by nephrotic syndrome (21.4%). None of the IgA nephropathy progressed to systemic vasculitis (allergic purpura). Conclusions The causes, onset ages and clinical manifestations of IgA nephropathy and allergic purpura may be consistent or overlap, but none of IgA nephropathy (organ speciifcity IgA vasculitis) progressed to allergic purpura (systemic IgA vasculi-tis). IgA nephropathy might have more renal immune disorder mechanisms involved in its pathogenesis.

Objective To understand the skeletal metabolism in glucocorticoids-treated children with kidney diseases and to evaluate the role of Alfacalcidol plus calcium supplements.Methods A retrospective self-controlled study was performed in children with kidney diseases,admitted to Department of Pediatrics,Peking University First Hospital from July 2012 to November 2014,and they conformed to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Inclusion criteria:children with renal diseases were included when they were administered with glucocorticoids,Alfacalcidol and calcium at the enrollment and follow-up,whose proteinuria was in remission or improved on follow-up,and renal function defined by glomerular filtration rate was more than 80 mL/(min · 1.73 m2),and they were followed up for at least 3 months.Exclusion criteria:whereas on follow-up,children with renal diseases were excluded if glucocorticoids was discontinued,or the follow-up period was less than 3 months,and related parameters were not available at the initial and finial visit.Serum levels of calcium,phosphate,alkaline phosphatase,25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25-OH-VitD) were detected,and bone mineral density at the left radius and mid tibia was measured by using quantitative ultrasound at the initial and finial visit.The levels of calcium,phosphate,alkaline phosphatase,25-OH-VitD and bone mineral density were compared between the initial and finial visit.Results A total of 29 cases (23 male,6 female) were recruited.Their ages at study entry were 2.4 to 14.9 years.Underlying disorders were primary nephrotic syndrome(17 cases),IgA nephropathy (4 cases),lupus nephritis (3 cases),purpura nephritis (2 cases),acute glomerulonephritis (1 case),Sjogren's disease(1 case),and autoimmune disease(1 case).At the time of enrollment,the course of disease was 1 to 69 months (median course of disease was 8 months),the duration of using corticosteroid was 0-60 months (median duration was 5 months),and the follow-up time was 92-409 days.The serum calcium,alkaline phosphatase and 25-OH-VitD levels at finial visit[(2.29 ±0.11) mmol/L,(153.21 ±71.00) U/L,and (40.96 ± 11.40) nmol/L,respectively] were significantly higher as compared with those at initial visit [(2.17 ± 0.16) mmol/L,(114.10 ±64.48) U/L,and (31.64 ± 10.99) nmol/L,respectively],and the differences were significant (all P ＜ 0.01),whereas there was no significant difference in serum level of phosphorate between initial and finial visit[(1.45 ±0.25) mmol/L vs.(1.48 ± 0.25) mmol/L] (t =-0.452,P ＞ 0.05).Meanwhile,there was significant difference in serum level of albumin level between initial and finial visit [(31.41 ± 9.31) g/L vs.(42.09 ± 4.00) g/L,t =-3.670,P ＜ 0.001].Compared with baseline assessment,bone mineral density at the left radius and tibia improved or maintained in 24/29 patients,whereas that of 5/29 patients declined.However,compared with initial and finial visit of bone mineral density in all patients(0.09 ± 1.58 vs.0.22 ± 1.07 at the left radius;0.93 ± 1.13 vs.1.00 ± 1.35 at the mid tibia),there was no significant difference (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Bone loss can be prevented by Alfacalcidol plus calcium supplement in glucocorticoids-treated children with kidney diseases.

Objective To investigate the risk factors related to mortality in human avian influenza A (H7N9)cases in Hangzhou.Methods The clinical and epidemiological data of 61 H7N9 patients whose diagnoses were confirmed by laboratory tests between 1st March,2013 and 2nd March,2014 in Hangzhou were collected.Descriptive analysis and univariate analysis were used to analyze the demographic,clinical and epidemiological characteristics and treatment outcomes.Patients were classified into improvement group and death group according to treatment outcomes,and risk factors for death were explored.Chi square test and t test were used for statistical analysis.Results A total of 61 patients were included in this study,among which 20(32.8%)patients died.The ratio of men to women for death attributed to H7N9 infection was three to one.The mean age of patients in death group was (63.6 ±3.8)years,which was older than that in improvement group ([55 .4±2.2]years,t =1 .97,P =0.05 ).The univariate analysis showed that the risk factors of mortality included over 60 years (χ2 =5 .16,P =0.02;OR =3.65 ,95 %CI :1 .19-11 .13 ),low education level (χ2 = 5 .42,P =0.02;OR =4.20,95 %CI :1 .24 - 14.00 ), chronic diseases (χ2 =4.67,P =0.03;OR=3.81 ,95 %CI :1 .12-12.69),bad hand hygiene (χ2 =4.05 , P =0.04;OR=4.67,95 %CI :1 .04 -11 .56 ),C-reactive protein (CRP)≥120 mg/L (χ2 =4.04,P =0.04;OR=6.00,95 %CI :1 .04-35 .33),increased initial neutrophil count (χ2 =3.90,P =0.05 ;OR=4.58,95 %CI :1 .01 -34.22)and decreased initial lymphocyte count (χ2 =7.12,P =0.01 ;OR =7.53, 95 %CI :1 .63 - 24.51 ).Conclusion Over 60 years,low education level,chronic diseases,bad hand hygiene,CRP≥ 120 mg/L,increased initial neutrophil count and decreased initial lymphocyte count are identified as risk factors for death in H7N9 cases in Hangzhou.

Objective: To analyze diagnosis rate of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in hospitalized pediatric patients in a single center and understand pediatricians′ awareness of CKD. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Children who were admitted to the Division of Pediatric Nephrology, Peking University First Hospital from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2017 and met the diagnostic criteria of CKD (kidney disease: improving global outcomes 2012 guideline) were recruited. A total of 4 472 cases were enrolled. Original CKD diagnosis was collected from the home page of medical records. Actual CKD diagnosis was validated and corrected by reviewing medical records and recalculating glomerular filtration rate. The diagnosis rate and influencing factors of pediatric CKD, the distribution and etiology of actual CKD were analyzed. The comparison between groups were performed with χ² test. Results: In 4 472 cases, there were 3 470 cases in actual CKD stage 1, among which only 24 cases were in original CKD stage 1. There were 543 cases in actual CKD stage 2-3, among which only 181 cases were in original CKD stage 2-3. Three hundred and one cases were in actual CKD stage 4-5, including 290 cases in original CKD stage 4-5. In addition, there were 43 cases with unknown CKD stage and 115 cases with acute kidney injury. Compared to original CKD diagnosis, the diagnosis rates of CKD stage 1-5 were 0.7% (24/3 470), 16.7% (58/348), 63.1% (123/195), 90.7% (78/86) and 98.6% (212/215), respectively. The proportions of actual CKD stage 1-5 were 80.4% (3 470/4 314), 8.1% (348/4 314), 4.5% (195/4 314), 2.0% (86/4 314) and 5.0% (215/4 314). The etiology of actual CKD included primary glomerular disease (62.2%, 2 686/4 314), secondary glomerular disease (19.7%, 849/4 314), hereditary kidney disease (9.1%, 391/4 314), congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) (3.1%, 135/4 314), tubulointerstitial disease (2.2%, 94/4 314) and etiology uncertain (2.1%, 89/4 314). The leading cause of end stage renal disease was etiology uncertain (31.1%, 67/215), followed by hereditary kidney disease (24.2%, 52/215), CAKUT (16.3%, 35/215) and primary glomerular disease (16.3%, 35/215). Conclusions Among actual CKD hospitalized pediatric patients, the diagnosis rate of CKD given by physicians at discharge was relatively low, especially patients in earlier CKD stages, which reflected serious lack of physicians′ awareness of CKD.

Objective To develop and validate a mortality risk prediction model for patients infected with avian influenza A H 7N9 virus.Methods A stratified and random sampling method was adopted for selection of subjects .A total of 102 patients infected with avian influenza A H7N9 virus, who were admitted to the designated hospitals in Zhejiang Province during March 2013 and March 2015, were enrolled.Standard questionnaires were used to collect data about demographic , epidemiologic and clinical characteristics , and the data were retrospectively reviewed . Univariate analysis and stepwise logistic regression analysis were used to identify the mortality risk factors of patients infected with avian influenza A H7N9 virus, and nomogram was applied to develop the risk prediction model .The accuracy of the prediction model was assessed using Concordance index (C-index) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results Stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥60 years (χ2 =3.98, OR=2.99, 95%CI:1.05-9.21, P<0.05), increased initial neutrophil count (χ2 =6.66,OR=5.06, 95%CI:1.56-18.83, P<0.05), C-reactive protein≥120mg/L (χ2 =8.63, OR=5.15, 95%CI:1.79-16.31, P<0. 01), poor hand hygiene (χ2 =6.83, OR =10.29, 95%CI:2.18-81.49, P <0.01) and 5 days of incubation period or shorter (χ2 =7.23, OR=4.75, 95%CI:1.59-15.80, P<0.01) were independent risk factors for mortality of patients .Based on the above study , a risk prediction model of nomogram was developed.Poor hand hygiene (grade A, 100.0 points) ranked on the top of all risk factors, followed by C-reactive protein≥120 mg/L (grade B, 76.5 points), increased initial neutrophil count (grade C, 70.5 points), 5 days of incubation period or shorter (grade D, 62.0 points) and age ≥60 years (grade E, 51.0 points).The C-index and the area under the curve were 0.833 and 0.817 for the nomogram model , respectively;and the nomogram model fitted well .Conclusion Nomogram model can effectively predict and estimate the risk of death for patients infected with avian influenza A H 7N9 virus.
