Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2016;(3):226-230
Objective To investigate the drug effect of children with Dent disease who received therapy of po-tassium citrate and thiazide diuretics and angiotensin -converting enzyme inhibitors(ACEI),and to provide the refe-rence for the clinical treatment.Methods Dent disease patient who were followed -up in Bayi Children′s Hospital Af-filiated to Beijing Military Region General Hospital during the period of July 2006 and March 201 4 were selected.The patients were administered a therapy of potassium citrate associated with thiazide diuretics and ACEI according to the level of proteinuria and calciuria and serum potassium.The underlying changes before and after the treatment were com-pared and analyzed.Results In 1 5 children with Dent disease,they were all male cases,onset age ranged from 3 months to 1 1 years old[(2.62 ±3.1 1 )years old],and the disease duration ranged from 0.50 to 9.50 years old [(2.81 ±2.34)years].The patients were followed up for 0.50 to 7.50 years[(3.61 ±2.62)years].There was a sig-nificantly statistical difference in calcium/creatinine and daily Ca -creat ratio in contrast to before treatment[(0.41 ± 0.1 9)mg/mg vs(0.26 ±0.1 2)mg/mg,t =2.603,P =0.021 ;(6.76 ±2.0)mg/kg vs (4.34 ±1 .97)mg/kg,t =5.265,P =0.000],there was no significantly statistical difference in 24 -hour urinary protein quantity in contrast to before treatment[(0.96 ±0.62)g/24 h vs (0.87 ±0.44)g/24 h,t =1 .01 6,P =0.327].One case with kidney stone and 5 cases with nephrocalcinosis had a negative result of renal ultrasound after treatment.Conclusions Treatment of potassium citrate combination with thiazide diuretics and ACEI can significantly decrease urinary calcium excretion, make a disappearance of kidney stone and nephrocalcinosi,and it may have a role in protecting renal function.Treat-ment of benazepril can not significantly decrease the proteinuria and has no substantial improvement in low molecular weight protein urine.
5.Transition from endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis to membrane proliferative glomerulonephritis:a case report
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(3):247-250
ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism, diagnosis and treatment of membrane proliferative glome-rulo-nephritis (MPGN) transitioned from endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis (EnPGN).Methods The clinical data and the results of pathological examination of one case of MPGN transitioned from EnPGN were retrospectively analyzed.Results The child was presented with proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, and persistent low level of complement C3. The type of renal pathology was transitioned from EnPGN to MPGN. Complete remission was achieved in this child with the treatment of oral prednisolone and tacrolimus, but the level of plasma complement C3 remained low.Conclusions The type of renal pathology in children with persistent low level of complement C3 could make a transition, and the early diagnosis, timely and effective treat-ment are important.
6.Application of rituximab therapy on refractory nephrotic syndrome in children
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2014;29(5):324-326
Primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) is one of the most common forms of glomerular disorder in chil dren.It is reported that over 90% of patients are due to minimal change disease and most respond to glucocorticoid (GC) therapy.However,76%-93% cases have relapses and 40%-50% frequently relapses nephritic syndrome or steroid dependent nephritic syndrome when steroid is tapered.Long-term courses of GC and immunosuppressant will place them at increased risk for severe side effects.Not all patients do respond to therapy.Although most reports on rituximab use in pediatric patients have not recognized significant side effects,the long-term adverse events of rituximab are not known.Thus,controlled long-term studies are required to be done to assess the risk-benefit profile of rituximab in childhood nephrotic syndrome.

Objective To evaluate the efficiency, safety and complications of transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) using Amplatzer and sideris occluder under the guidance of transthoracic echocardiography and fluoroscopy. Methods Fourteen patients of ASD, 6 male and 8 female, age ranged from 2.6 to 43 years old, were treated by transcatheter closure of ASD with Sideris or Amplatzer occluders. All cases were guided by thansthoracic echocardiography and fluoroscopy. Results The diameter of ASD (balloon stretched diameter) was 14-34 mm (24.16 ? 5.16)mm. The Amplatzer devices were used in 9 cases, all of them were successfully occluded with satisfactory results. Of 5 patients treated by Sideris buttoned devices, 4 had success procedure and one failed, in which unbuttoning occurred and retrieval of the device was performed by emergency surgery. Conclusion Transcatheter closure of ASD is a simple and convenient method with a high success rate and reliable curative effect. The indication of Amplatzer method is much wider and the instant success rate after the procedure is much higher than those of Sideris device. Thansthoracic echocardiography plays a key role for guiding transcatheter closure of ASD in this study.
