Objective To understand the incidence and clinical characteristics of scabies-associated glomerulonephritis and to investigate its pathogenesis.Methods The patients with scabies from Qijiang District People's Hospital.were collected from the outpatient department and divided into the simple scabies group (A) and glomerulonephritis group (B) according to whether complicating glomerulonephritis.The general clinical indicators and serum C-reactive protein(CRP),complement components C3 and C4,immunoglobulin,TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β and IL-18 in the early stage of the disease were determined and compared between the two groups.The differences of above indicators were collected and compared between before and after clinical cure in the patients with scabies-associated glomerulonephritis.Results Among 376 cases of scabies,16 cases developed glomerulonephritis.The clinical manifestations included glomerular hematuria and/or mild-moderate proteinuria.The kidney injury manifestations in 12 cases were completely disappeared at 2-6 months after scabies cure.The levels of serum CRP,IgG,TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-18 in the group B were significantly increased and the serum C3 level was significantly decreased compared with the group A,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The levels of serum IgG,hs-CRP,TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-18 after cure in 12 cases of clinically cured scabies-associated glomerulonephritis were significantly decreased and the serum C3 level was significantly increased,and the difference was statistically significant compared with the early onset stage(P<0.05).Conclusion The majority of prognosis in scabies-associated glomerulonephritis is good.Its occurrence is closely correlated with immune and inflammatory reactions induced by sarcoptes mites irffection.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of micrornas(miR)-27B-3P combined with miR-215 in predicting the recurrence of early gastric cancer after endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD).Methods A total of 122 patients with early gastric cancer admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to February 2022 were selected.All patients received ESD surgery and were followed up for 10~15 months,average(12.57±1.83)months.Patients with early gastric cancer were divided into recurrence group and non-recurrence group according to whether they had recurrence after ESD surgery.The relative expression levels of miR-27b-3p and miR-215 and clinical data of the two groups were compared to analyze the factors affecting the recurrence of early gastric cancer patients after ESD surgery,and analyze the relative expression levels of miR-27b-3p and miR-215 and the predictive value of their combination for the recurrence of early gastric cancer patients after ESD surgery.Results After 10~15 months,average(12.57±1.83)months of follow-up,3 cases of 122 patients were lost to follow-up,the follow-up rate was 97.54%,of which 12 cases relapsed,and the remaining 107 cases did not relapse.The miR-27b-3p in the relapsed group was lower than that in the non-relapsed group(P<0.05),and the relative expression of miR-215 in the relapsed group was higher than that in the non-relapsed group(P<0.05).The proportion of patients with lesion size ≥3 cm and infiltration depth of SM2-SM3 in recurrence group was higher than that in non-recurrence group(P<0.05),and the proportion of patients with R0 resection in recurrence group was lower than that in non-recurrence group(P<0.05).Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that the lesion size was ≥3 cm and the depth of invasion was SM2-SM3,the relative expression level of miR-27b-3p,the relative expression level of miR-215 were the influential factors for recurrence of early gastric cancer patients after ESD operation(P<0.05).The relative expression levels of miR-27b-3p and miR-215 and their combined prediction of the area under the curve(AUC)of ESD postoperative recurrence in early gastric cancer patients were 0.783,0.845 and 0.935,respectively.Conclusion miR-27b-3p and miR-215 can be used to predict the recurrence risk of early gastric cancer patients after ESD surgery,and the combination of Mir-27B-3P and Mir-215 has higher predictive value.
