Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of intermittent low-dosage intravenous (Ⅳ) cyelophosphamide (CTX) in treating lupus nephritis (LN) related chronic renal insufficiency. Methods Twelve patients with chronic renal insufficiency with azotemia caused by lupus nephritis received intermittent low-dosage eyclophosphamide therapy (200-400 mg/2~4 weeks) for 2 month to 5 years. We monitored their clinical outcomes and laboratory parameters changes. Results SLEDAI significantly decreased in all cases. Renal function was improved in varying grees. Nine cases had their renal function tests returned to normal range and another 3 cases were still in azotemia. No severe adverse effects occurred. Conclusion The treatment is effective and safe. But it is necessary to carry out large samples and long-term follow-up clinical studies to evaluate its effects on renal function changes.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) has extensive pharmacological basis for the treatment of cerebral ischemic injury, and animal experiments for treatment of brain injury by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation are ongoing. However, little is reported about the combined use of PNS and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of PNS combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on traumatic brain injury in rats.
METHODS:Traumatic brain injury models were made in 60 Sprague-Dawley rats by hydraulic shock method. Then, model rats were randomized into model group, cel transplantation group receiving bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation and combined treatment group undergoing PNS combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation. Nerve function recovery of the rats and protein expression of nerve growth factor in the brain tissue were evaluated and detected by Bederson scoring and western blot methods, respectively. Morphological changes of the brain tissue and apoptosis in cortical neurons were observed and detected by hematoxylin-eosin staining and TUNEL, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Highest Bederson score was found in the model group, fol owed by the cel transplantation group and combined treatment group (P<0.05), while the protein expression of nerve growth factor was ranked as fol ows:the combined treatment group>the cel transplantation group>the model group (P<0.05). Inflammatory infiltration and brain edema in the brain were relieved markedly in the combined treatment group compared with the other two groups, and the number of apoptotic neurons was significantly reduced as wel . Our findings suggest that PNS combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can promote neurological recovery from traumatic brain injury by increasing the expression of nerve growth factor and reducing neuronal apoptosis.

Objective To compare clinical effects among three techniques of multifetal pregnancy reduction(MFPR) guided by transvaginal ultrasonography through vaginal approach.Methods Under the guidance of transvaginal B-ultrasonography,99 cases of multiple pregnancy following assisted reproductive technique underwent three different methods of embryo reduction: drug injection directly to the pregnancy sac(Drug Group),simple embryonic bud aspiration(Aspiration Group),and combined use of drug and aspiration(Combination Group).Results The gestational age at the procedure ranged 41~88 days(mean,58.9?8.7 days).The success rate of the procedure on one session was 100%(99/99).Short-term outcomes included 3 cases of abortion(3.0%).On continuing follow-up observations in 73 cases,the incidences of abortion and premature delivery were 11%(8/73) and 12%((9/73)),respectively.No statistical differences were seen among the three groups in rates of abortion,premature delivery,and full-term delivery(?~2=1.131,P=0.889).In the Aspiration Group,however,the exposure time to B-ultrasound and the operative time were significantly shorter than those in the other two groups.The gestational age at the procedure was 61.7?8.2 days in the Drug Group,48.8?2.7 days in the Aspiration Group,and 56.7?7.2 days in the Combination Group,respectively,with significant differences between the Aspiration Group and other two groups(F=19.36,P=0.000).The number of embryos reduced was associated with pregnancy outcomes: the abortion rate was remarkably higher in patients receiving the reduction of more than two embryos than only one embryo(?~2=6.415,P=0.040).Conclusions Ultrasound-guided multifetal pregnancy reduction is a safe,effective and microinvasive procedure.It is recommended that simple embryonic bud aspiration be used for multifetal pregnancy before 7 gestational weeks,combined use of drug injection and aspiration for multifetal pregnancy at 7~9 gestational weeks,and drug injection to the pregnancy sac for multifetal pregnancy after 9 weeks.
