Objective To investigate the effect of three kinds of low molecular weight heparin combined with methylprednisolone on the high coagulation state and renal function in patients with refractory nephrotic syndrome.Methods 140 cases of refractory nephrotic syndrome were divided into four groups, 35 cases in each group.The control group were treated with methylprednisolone.Small, medium, and large dose group in the control group on the basis of the treatment, were given low molecular weight heparin on once every other day, once daily, twice daily treatment, 3075 AxaIU per times.The improvement of renal function and high coagulation state were compared between the four groups before and after treatment.In the course of treatment, the occurrence of adverse reactions was recorded.Results Remission rate in large, medium and small dose group remission rate was higher than the control group(χ2 =4.375,P<0.05); there was no significant difference in remission rate of three different dose groups.The 24h urine protein and ALB of the four groups after treatment were significantly increased, BUN and SCr were significantly lower(P<0.05).The 24h urine protein, ALB, BUN, SCr of improvement of large, medium and small dose group were significantly better than the control group( P<0.05).The 24 h urine protein, ALB, BUN, SCr in large dose group improved significantly better than those in small dose group(P<0.05).The APTT, PT in large, medium and small dose groups after treatment increased significantly, FIB decreased significantly(P<0.05).The improvement of FIB, APTT, PT in large, medium and small dose group were significantly better than the control group after treatment ( P <0.05 ).The FIB, APTT, PT in large dose group improved significantly better than those in medium and small dose group ( P <0.05 ) .Conclusion The low molecular weight heparin combined with methylprednisolone can significantly improve hypercoagulable state and renal function in the patients with refractory nephrotic syndrome, and the large dose of low molecular weight heparin effect is the best, and no significant adverse reactions occurred.

Objective To discuss the treatment and prognosis of multifocal osteosarcoma. Methods Between January 1998 and June 2005, nine patients(seven males and two females), six with synchronous multifocal osteosarcoma and three with metachronous multifocal osteosarcoma were treated in our department. The diagnosis of multifocal osteosarcoma was confirmed by clinical presentation, radiology and pathology. Eight of the nine patients received chemotherapy with adriamycin(60 mg/m2), cisplatinum(100 mg/m2), high-dose methotrexate(8-12 g/m2), vincristine(1.4 mg/m2), ifosfamide(12.5 g/m2), and G-CSF. Based on the response to primary chemotherapy, further chemotherapy plans were made, and different operations were done to control local lesions or to relieve symptoms. Arsenous acid, paclitaxel and VP-16 were used in patients who responded poorly to primary chemotherapy. Results One patient who given up remedy was died in systematic fail due to the cancer after 5 month, five patients who were diagnosed synchronous multifocal osteosarcoma died from progressive disease in 3.5 to 17 months (mean time was 9.8 months). Only two of them had a good response to chemotherapy and had finished at least four cycles of chemotherapy,and they had a better survival time of 15 and 17 months respectively. Three patients with metachronous multifocal osteosarcoma had a better prognosis. After a two-year follow-up, two lived with disease and one lived without disease. Conclusion The prognosis of patients with multifocal osteosarcoma is poor, and patients with metachronous multifocal osteosarcoma have a relatively better prognosis. To improve the prognosis of patients with multifocal osteosarcoma, aggressive chemother-apeutics are needed.

OBJECTIVETo observe the expressions of Calbindin(CB) and Parvalbumin (PV), the two calcium-binding protein, in auditory pathway in mice of wild type C57BL/6J and kit⁺/kitW⁻ ²Bao, a kit gene mutant.

METHODSSix mutated kit gene kit⁺/kitW⁻ ²Bao mice and 6 wild type C57BL/6J (B6) mice were anaesthetized i. p. with chloral hydrate. After the mice were fixed by heart perfusion, the brains were removed and coronal sections were cut with a freezing microtome.

RESULTSWe found that wild type mice had significant expressions of PV on ventral cochlear nucleus, anterior part (AVCN), ventral cochlear nucleus, posterior part (PVCN), inferior colliculus (IC) and auditory cortex (AC). CB was expressed in wild type mice on PVCN and nucleus of the trapezoid body (Tz). The mutant of kit gene induced the less expression of PV on PVCN, IC and AC (P < 0.01), but increased the expression of Tz (P < 0.01). CB could not be observed on PVCN in mutant mice, and the expression of AC was increased( P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONCB and PV has differential expression level in auditory pathway. Since mutated kit gene can affect expression of PV on PVCN, IC, Tz and AC, as well as CB on PVCN and AC, it suggests that the mutation of kit gene can affect the advanced function of central nervous system in auditory pathway.
