Objective To explore the association of urinary level of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) with renal tubulointerstitial lesions in patients with lupus nephritis (LN). And to find a potential clinical biomarker, which could reflect the specific tubulointerstitial lesions of LN. Methods Sixty cases of biopsy proven new-onset LN patients were enrolled into the study. And 10 normal kidney tissues were collected, which came from 10 patients with kidney trauma or renal tumor nephrectomy. Sixty patients with LN were divided into mild disease group, moderate disease group, severe disease group and the extremely severe disease group according to the criteria of 2000 Hill's morphologic index for the evaluation of renal pathology. Urine and renal tissues specimen were collected. The clinical and pathological data were analyzed retrospectively. Urine level of KIM-1 was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (-). Immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the expression of KIM-1 in the renal tissue. T-test, One-Way analysis of variance(ANOVA) test or rank sum test and Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results ①With the aggravation of tubulointerstitial lesions, the urinary level of KIM-1 was increased gradually, which was shown in the control group [(0.32 ±0.03) ng/ml], mild group [(2.31 ±0.30) ng/ml], moderate group [(6.12 ±0.51) ng/ml], severe group [(12.51 ±1.83) ng/ml] and the extremely severe group [(15.30 ±2.11) ng/ml] (all P<0.05); ② With the aggravation of tubulointerstitial lesions, the expression of KIM-1 in the renal tissue was increased gradually which was shown in the control group [(2.13±0.12)%], mild group [(35.01±0.33)%], moderate group [(51.12± 2.11)%], severe group [(63.50 ±1.80)%] and the extremely severe group [(75.31 ±3.22)%] (all P<0.05);③ Urinary KIM-1 level in LN patients was positively correlated with the expression of KIM-1 in the renal tissue (r=0.870, P<0.01);④Urinary KIM-1 level in LN patients was positively correlated with 24 hUP, systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI), renol (R)-SLEDAI, glomerular activity index (GAI), tubulointerstitial ativity imdex (TLAI), chronicity (AI) (r=0.826, 0.741, 0.824, 0.743, 0.871, 0.741, P<0.05), and was negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (r=-0.726, P<0.05), while was not correlated with CI (r=0.532, P>0.05). The expression of KIM-1 in the renal tissue was positively correlated with serum creatinine (SCr), quantity of 24 h UP, SLEDAI, R-SLEDAI, GAI, TLAI and AI (r=0.780, 0.780, 0.812, 0.727, 0.735, 0.910, 0.701, P<0.05), and was negatively correlated with eGFR (r=-0.727, P<0.05), while it was no correlated with CI (r=0.543, P>0.05). Conclusion Urinary KIM-1 enables to assess the tubulointerstitial lesion in LN patients, and it can be a sensitive biomarker to predict the tubulointerstitial damage and to evaluate the degree of tubulointerstitial lesions.

Since human society entered the 21st century, the rapid development of medical technology also gave birth to a series of negative effects:medical service technology first, trust crisis of the doctor-patient relation-ship, and medical industry money worship. Especially in recent years, due to the lack of humanistic spirit in medi-cal institutions, the doctor -patient relationship is of the worst state in the history. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen the medical humanities education in the construction of hospital culture. Aiming at the problems existing in the current medical industry, this paper expounds the importance of strengthening the humanistic education in the construction of hospital culture.

Objective:To explore the correlation between dietary N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) intake and chronic inflammation state of body.Methods:A total of 306 samples of 102 types of food were purchased from a supermarket in Xiamen in September 2019, including grains, meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, beans, dairy products, vegetables and fruits. The content of Neu5Gc in food was determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of 500 healthy freshmen from Xiamen University were selected by using a simple random sampling method. The food frequency questionnaire was used to investigate the food intake in the past year. The food intake was corrected by 3 consecutive 24-hour recalls, and the amount of Neu5Gc intake was calculated. The concentration of anti-Neu5Gc antibody, C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum was detected. Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between Neu5Gc intake and anti-Neu5Gc antibody, CRP and IL-6 levels.Results:Neu5Gc was mainly found in red meat and liquid dairy products. The contents of Neu5Gc in beef, lamb and pork were (30.32±2.84), (20.39±4.73) and (5.58±1.04) mg/kg, respectively, and in liquid milk and yogurt were (10.87±1.54) and (6.91±0.24) mg/L, respectively. The M ( P25, P75) intake of Neu5Gc for all participants was 4.62 (2.20, 8.60) mg/d. The M( P25, P75) intake of Neu5Gc for males about 6.60(2.83, 10.20) was higher than that for females about [3.84 (1.84, 6.35) mg/d] ( P<0.001). The M ( P25, P75) of serum anti-Neu5Gc, CRP and IL-6 levels were 3.07 (2.17, 4.14) μg/ml, 0.37 (0.22, 0.87) mg/ml and 61.82 (12.23, 315.30) pg/ml, respectively. Spearman correlation analysis showed that the intake level of Neu5Gc was positively correlated with serum anti-Neu5Gc antibody, CRP and IL-6 levels, with r s values about 0.222, 0.102 and 0.126, respectively (all P values <0.05). Conclusion:Dietary Neu5Gc intake is mainly from red meat and liquid dairy products, and its intake level is positively correlated with chronic inflammatory state of body.

OBJECTIVETo study the diagnosis and the differential diagnosis of nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma (NLPHL).
METHODS245 cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) diagnosed between 1980 and 2000 from 3 hospitals in Guangzhou were reviewed. Four cases of NLPHL were confirmed according to the WHO classification of lymphoid neoplasms. Among the other 3 cases of NLPHL, 2 collected from other clinical centers and 1 from Fudan University Cancer Hospital. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) were performed on paraffin sections through SP technique using a panel of markers to define the large neoplastic cells (CD45, CD20, CD15, CD30 and vimentin) as well as the non-neoplastic background cells (CD3, CD20, CD45RO, CD57, CD68 and TIA-1).
RESULTSSeven patients with NLPHL were 4 males and 3 females, age 29 to 70 years, average 43.8 years. All patients had lymphadenopathy. Histologically, in NLPHL, instead of the structure of normal lymph nodes, the tumor tissue became nodular in architecture. Characteristic lymphocytic and histiocytic (L&H) cells with scant cytoplasm and large multilobulated nuclei distributed among a predominant population of small lymphoid cells. The large cells exhibited a CD45+, CD20+, but CD15-, CD30- and vimentin-phenotype. The background cellularity was relatively rich in B cells and the majority of T-cells infiltrated were CD57(+) cells. TIA-1+ cells were few.
CONCLUSIONSNLPHL can be diagnosed according to the morphologic and immunophenotypic features rather than by morphology alone. It is important to distinguish this tumor from its morphologic mimics, such as lymphocyte-rich classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (LRCHL) and T-cell rich B-cell lymphoma (TCRBCL). The immunophenotype of neoplastic cells and background cells are the helpful criteria for the differential diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To provide reference for pharmaceutical manufacturers improving the quality system of GMP and drug regulatory departments improving their supervision level. METHODS: Through analyzing and summarizing the problems existing in the 28 pharmaceutical enterprises which had been published on the website in the National Medical Products Administration from February 6th, 2018 to January 25th, 2019, the common problems were found and their causes were analyzed, then the regulatory countermeasures were put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: Pharmaceutical enterprises have some problems of inadequate implementation of GMP, such as the inadequate performance of personnel in key positions and the unsatisfactory training effect of relevant personnel, the inconsistency between actual production technology and approved legal technology, the non-standard management of enterprise materials, the incomplete batch production records and the inability to effectively monitor the production cycle. However, there are also some problems in the supervision department, such as the large difference in the scale of inspectors’ on-site inspection, the need to strengthen the inspectors’ inspection ability and level, and the lack of innovation in the means of supervision. It is suggested that pharmaceutical manufacturers should improve the construction of GMP quality management system and strengthen the training of relevant personnel; the regulatory authorities should continue to promote the reform of “release, control and service”, strictly enforce the access conditions of inspectors, strengthen the training of inspectors and ideological construction of the inspector team,further strengthen the construction of supervision system and enhance the innovation of supervision means, so as to jointly maintain the safety, effectiveness and quality controllability of medicines.
