Objective To study the clinical features and pathology of renal damage in patients with MPA. Method The clinical pathological changes of 23 MPA patients were analyzed and the patients with positive ANCA were compared with those with negative ANCA. Results Most MPA patients were senile and male with the symptoms of lung damage, pleuritis, arthritis and myalgia as well as extrarenal symptoms such as fever, weight-loss, and anorexia. 65.2% of the patients were ANCA (+). Symptoms of renal function damage were hematuria and proteinuria, which could be found in all the patients. Different degree of renal damage could be detected. Glomerular cresent formation, which were mostly fibrous, could be found in all of the 23 patients. Half of the patients have tuft necrosis and interstitial vessel vasculitis. Conclusion MPA patients often have extrarenal symptoms besides renal function damage. Patients with positive ANCA differs from patients with negative ANCA in both clinical manifestation and kidney pathology.

AIM: To observe the different changes of neuroendocrine systems between the state of sport fatigue and poverty of movement. METHODS: 60 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal control group, sport fatigue model group and poverty of movement model group (20 rats in each group). The sport fatigue model was established by the method of combining basal diet and loaded swimming during 2 weeks, whereas the method of restricted activities was used to establish the poverty of movement model with total experimental time of 10 weeks. By the end of experiment, the climbing pole time was determined. The contents of hypothalamus thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), and serum norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) in rats with different treatments were determined by ELISA. In addition, the changes of hypothalamus corticotropin release hormone (CRH), pituitary adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and serum corticosterone (CORT), triiodothyronine (T_3), tetraiodothyronine (T_4) were determined by radioimmunoassay to evaluate the functions of adrenergic nerve-adrenomedullin system, hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis. RESULTS: Compared to control group, the climbing pole time of the animals was obviously decreased in two model group. The adrenergic nerve-adrenomedullin system and HPA axis were inhibited in sport fatigue model rats, but HPT axis was unchanged. Interestingly, the HPA axis was hyperfunctional and HPT axis was inhibited in poverty of movement model rats. However, no change in the adrenergic nerve-adrenomedullin system was observed. CONCLUSION: Sport fatigue and poverty of movement all affect neuroendocrine system and lead to the adjustment mechanism imbalance, but the target and tendency are different.

Objective To estimate the clinical value of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP)performed on the elderly patients aged 80 years and over with osteoporotic vertebral fractures.Methods Since January 2000, 19 patients aged 80 years and over were treated with PVP, and 17 patients from 60 to 79 years old underwent percutancous kyphoplasty (PKP). Visual analogue scale (VAS) was tested preoperatively and 1 to 7 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after operation. The time of radiation, volume of bone cement injection and hospital charges were compared betwecn two procedures. Results Over the 2-year follow-up, there were no significant differences in analgesia effects between thc two groups (P>0.05). The radiation time of PVP and PKP was (107±37)s and (151±76)s respectively (t=2.24, P<0.05). The hospital charges of PVP and PKP were ¥(16 124±5850) and ¥(34 265±6655) respectively (t=9.26,P<0.01). Conclusions PVP is better than PKP for treating osteoporotic compression fractures in the elderly patients over 80 years, because of the former's simplicity and efficiency.
