Objective To summarize the clinical features,treatment and prognosis of bullous systemic lupus erythematosus (BSLE).Methods Clinical data were collected from 6 cases of BSLE between May 2009 and September 2015,and were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among the 6 patients,2 were male and 4 were female.The mean age of onset was 34 years.All the 6 patients presented with tense blisters and bullae arising on an erythematous base or normal skin,which were arranged in an annular pattern in 3 patients.The SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) score was ＞ 4 in all the 6 patients.Histopathological examination showed subepidermal blisters or fissures in all the patients.Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) revealed continuous linear deposition of immunoglobulin G (IgG),IgM and IgA in all the patients,linear deposition of C3 in 4 patients,and linear deposition of Clq in 2 patients at the basement membrane zone (BMZ).All the 6 patients were treated with oral glucocorticoids and hydroxychloroquine,and 2 patients were additionally treated with cyclophosphamide.During the follow-up period,adverse reactions to different extents were observed in the 6 patients.Conclusions BSLE mainly occurs in young and middle-aged people.Histopathologically,subepidermal blisters or fissures can be observed with linear deposition of IgG,IgM,IgA,or C3 along the basement membrane zone on DIF.

Objective To investigate the association between HLA-DRB1 alleles and pemphigus vulgaris (PV) in a Han population in Sichuan.Methods Polymerase chain reaction with sequencespecific primer (PCR-SSP) method was used for low-resolution and high-resolution typing of HLA-DRB1 alleles in 19 patients of Han nationality with PV and 25 healthy controls in Sichuan.Allele frequencies were calculated,and differences in the allele frequency between the above two groups were compared by using chisquare test.Results Totally,9 kinds of DRB 1 low-resolution alleles and 19 kinds of DRB 1 high-resolution alleles were identified in the PV patients and healthy controls.Frequencies of the DRB1* 14 allele (39.47％[15/38] vs.8.00％[4/50],x2 =17.43,P ＜ 0.05) and DRB1*1405 allele (15.79％[6/38] vs.2.00％[1/50],x2 =4.25,P ＜ 0.05) were significantly higher in the PV patients than in the healthy controls.Conclusion The HLA-DRB1*14 allele may be a common susceptibility gene for PV in the Han population in Sichuan,and the HLA-DRB1* 1405 allele may be most closely associated with PV.

AIM: To examine the effect of protamine sulfate, lipopolysaccharide(LPS),tumor necrosis factor(TNF), epidermal growth factor(EGF) and " Bushen Huoxue Xiezhuo" (BHX) decoction on the proliferation of extracorporeal cultured rat glomerular epithelial cells (GEC). METHODS: Their action on the proliferation of rat GEC were investigated using the -TdR incorporation. Meanwhile, the serum of rats treated with BHX decoction was extracted pharmacologically and its effects on the growth of GEC were also studied. RESULTS: LPS, protamine sulfate, TNF-? and EGF could significantly inhibit the -TdR incorporation of GEC in a dose- and time-dependent manner. However, this inhibition could be efficiently reversed by the serum containing BHX decoction. CONCLUSION: GEC is one of the main target cells on which BHX decoction act, and the protection on GEC might be one of the mechanisms underlying the role of BHX decoction in preventing the progression of nephrosis.

Objective To probe into the treatment method of filter channel obstruction after trabeculectomy. Methods Filter channel obstruction occurred in 25 eyes within one month after trabeculectomy,and they were retrospectively analyzed. According to different parts of obstruction,they were divided into three types namely inner obstruction, middle obstruction and outer obstruction. Patients with inner ob-struction were given miosis, separation of the anterior synechia, and expansion of peripheral iris incision when necessary. Patienrts with mid-dle obstruction were given reconstruction of the trabecular incision. Patienrts with outer obstruction were given conjunctiva or sclera flap dis-section within 1 month afer trabeculectomy. Results Postoperative IOP ( intraocular pressure) decreased significantly compared with preop-erative IOP. The IOP stabilized at 13~21 mmHg in the fallowing 6~12 months after operation. Conclusion Taking appropriate measures could restore the filtration function within one month after trabeculectomy when the incision adhesion was not very close.

Objective To learn the psychological needs of the hospital staff in terms of their life,medical care and psychological health.Methods 2910 hospital staff were interviewed with questionnaires and the outcomes analyzed with x2 test and descriptive analysis.Results 96.9％of the surveyed found themselves in need of psychological counseling; considerable consulting needs of the staff; most of them turn to friends to complain instead of their leaders.Conclusion The psychological counseling should be enhanced to build effective communication channels and ease stress of the staff.
