Objective To investigate the risk factors which can lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) after radical nephroureterectomy and guide adjuvant chemotherapy for the patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).Methods 239 patients with UTUC,who were treated at our hospital from October 2010 to February 2015 was analyzed retrospectively.Serum creatinine levels were measured preoperatively and 1 month (range:21days to 35 days) after radical nephroureterectomy.129 males and 110 females patients were enrolled.Ages were from 41 to 94,and mean age was 66 years.All patients underwent radical surgery.The pathological stages included Ta/T1/T2/T3/T4,and grades included G1/G2/G3.We calculated GFR using Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations in consideration of age,sex,and serum creatinine level.The new-onset CKD after RNU was defined as when the calculated CKD-EPI GFR decreased to less than 60 ml/(min · 1.73 m2).These patients were divided into 2 groups which depended on whether they got CKD after RNU.Cohorts were stratified by gender,age,smoking,BMI,hypertension,diabetes mellitus (DM),tumor location,tumor size,multifocality,pathologic stage,grade,hydronephrosis and preoperative CKD-EPI GFR.The chi-square test was used to examine the relationship among the various cohorts and the CKD after RNU.The Kaplan-Meier method was adopted to identify the relationship between Overall survival (OS).Cancer-specific survival (CSS) and CKD.Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to study the relationship between clinical factors and CKD after RNU using the Cox proportional hazards regression model and chi-square test.Results In our study,the median follow-up time was 41.3 (range from 2-82) months for 239 patients.Median CKD-EPI GFR for all patients before and after surgery was 71.4 (65.2-108.7) ml/(min · 1.73 m2) and 54.7 (37.6-93.8) ml/(min · 1.73 m2),meanwhile 105 cases became new-onset CKD.There was no significant difference in overall or cancer specific survival between CKD + and CKD-(P =0.137,P =0.190).However age (HR =1.825,95% CI 1.203-2.768,P =0.017),hydronephrosis (HR =0.243,95 % CI 0.106-0.613,P =0.034) and preoperative CKD-EPI GFR (HR =0.237,95 % CI 0.109-0.524,P =0.021) were significantly correlative with postoperative new-onset CKD.Conclusion Age,absence of hydronephrosis and preoperative CKD-EPI GFR were independent risk factors predicting new-onset CKD.They can be the predictor of new-onset CKD.

OBJECTIVE To accurately identify the rare adverse drug reactions (ADR) of vancomycin-pancytopenia in order to promote its safe use. METHODS Through a case report of a child with suppurative hip arthritis who developed pancytopenia combined with delayed drug fever caused by intravenous infusion of vancomycin,Naranjo score method and related literature were used to summarize the association between the ADR and vancomycin and its possible mechanism, and suggestions for rational use of vancomycin in pediatric patients were put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The association of pancytopenia combined with delayed drug fever and vancomycin in this child is “very likely”. In clinical practice, it is difficult to distinguish between pancytopenia combined with delayed drug fever from fever and hematopenia caused by aggravation of infection. Medical staff should increase their awareness of vancomycin rare ADR such as pancytopenia, and pharmacists should assist medical staff in timely screening for ADR. The initial dose of vancomycin infusion for children should start from 60 mg/(kg·d),and the blood concentration should be monitored 48 h after the first infusion and the dose should be adjusted in time to maintain the valley concentration of vancomycin at 5-15 mg/L to prevent the occurrence of ADR caused by excessive blood concentration. For children who have been using vancomycin for more than one week,the blood routine should be rechecked regularly. Once pancytopenia occurs,the drug should be stopped immediately,and symptomatic treatment should be given according to the situation.

【Objective】 To study the incidence and specificity of platelet antibody in blood donors in Suzhou, analyze the distribution characteristics of platelet antibody in blood donors in this area, and explore the significance of platelet antibody detection in blood donors to reduce the adverse reactions toplatelet transfusion in clinical. 【Methods】 Platelet antibody detection was performed in 2178 blood donors in this area by solid-phase immunosorbent assay. The antibody specificity of the positive samples was analyzed by commercial kit, and the anti-CD36 antibody positive samples were further identified by flow cytometry and gene sequencing. 【Results】 Twelve positive samples were detected by platelet antibody screening, with a positive rate of 0.55%(12/2 178), including 5 males (0.33%, 5/2 178)and 7 females(1.06%, 7/2 178). Among the positive samples, anti-HLA-Ⅰ antibody was identified in 2 cases, anti-CD36 antibody in 1 case, and the antibody specificity was not identified in the other 9 cases. In one case, the positive rate of anti-HLA-Ⅰ antibody PRA was 31.31%(31/ 99), which was mainly specific to anti-B15, anti-B35 and anti-B40. The positive rate of anti-HLA-Ⅰ antibody PRA in the other case was 45.45%(45/ 99), which was mainly specific to anti-A2, anti-A11, anti-A24, anti-A29, anti-A33, anti-A66, anti-B15 and anti-B35. The blood donor with anti-CD36 antibody was type I CD36 deficiency, and 329_330delAC mutation occurred in exon 5. 【Conclusion】 Through antibody screening and specificity identification, the positive rate of platelet antibody in females was significantly higher than that in males(P<0.05). In addition to the common anti-HLA-I antibodies, anti-CD36 antibody was also detected in type I CD36 deficient blood donor. Therefore, the detection of platelet antibodies in blood donors is of certain clinical significance to reduce the adverse reactions to blood transfusion caused by antibodies in platelet products.
