OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy on acute renal failure and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome following simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. METHODS: A patient was complicated with acute renal failure, severe acute pancreatitis, lung infection, bleeding in anastomosisbetween duodenum and jejunum, and peritonitis following simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. He was treated with immunosuppressor, antibiotics, amylopsin inhibitor, haemostatic and alimentation; at the same time, he was treated with continuous renal replacement therapy for 22 days. The Baxter system was used for continuous venovenous hemofiltration. RESULTS: The vital signs and hemodynamic indicators were stable during continuous renal replacement therapy. Pulmonary edema was well controlled, and acid-base equilibrium of water electrolyte was maintained. The function of vital organs was stableand graft function was normal following continuous renal replacement therapy for 22 days. He was completely cured and out of hospital on day 40. CONCLUSION: Continuous renal replacement therapy plays an important role in treating acute renal failure and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome following simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Thus, it is a well kidney support for ultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation.
2. Effect of high-dose gamma globulin combined with naloxone on neurological and immune function in children with severe viral encephalitis
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2019;26(19):2381-2385
Objective:
To investigate the effect of high dose gamma globulin combined with naloxone in the treatment of severe viral encephalitis in children, and its influence on nerve function and immune function.
Methods:
From March 2012 to May 2017, 103 children with viral encephalitis in the First People's Hospital of Wenling were randomly divided into observation group (53 cases) and control group (50 cases) according to the digital table.The control group was given routine treatment.The observation group was given naloxone combined with high dose gamma globulin on the basis of routine treatment.The therapeutic effect, clinical symptoms, serum neurological function and humoral immune function were compared between the two groups.
Results:
The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (92.45% vs.78.00%)(χ2=4.319,

Grooming,as an evolutionarily conserved repetitive behavior,is common in various animals,including humans,and serves essential functions including,but not limited to,hygiene maintenance,thermoregulation,de-arousal,stress reduction,and social behaviors.In rodents,grooming involves a patterned and sequenced structure,known as the syntactic chain with four phases that comprise repeated stereotyped movements happening in a cephalocaudal progression style,beginning from the nose to the face,to the head,and finally ending with body licking.The context-dependent occurrence of grooming behavior indicates its adaptive significance.This review briefly summarizes the neural substrates responsible for rodent grooming behavior and explores its relevance in rodent models of neuropsychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases with aberrant grooming phenotypes.We further emphasize the utility of rodent grooming as a reliable measure of repetitive behavior in neuropsychiatric models,holding promise for translational psychiatry.Herein,we mainly focus on rodent self-grooming.Allogrooming(grooming being applied on one animal by its conspecifics via licking or carefully nibbling)and heterogrooming(a form of grooming behavior directing towards another animal,which occurs in other contexts,such as maternal,sexual,aggressive,or social behaviors)are not covered due to space constraints.
