Objective To study the clinical characteristics and analyze the correlative risk factors of interstitial pneumonia in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE-IP).Methods 80 SLE patients in department of rheumatology of Nanfang hospital form January 2013 to January 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.SLE patients with interstitial pneumonia (n=40) were divided into case group.40 cases of SLE with interstitial pneumonia were selected and matched with age and sex.Patients with mild SLE without interstitial pneumonia were treated as controls.The clinical manifestations,routine examination,biochemical examination and immunological examination were performed to compare the risk factors of SLE-related interstitial pneumonia.Results In this study,non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) were common in SLE-IP patients.the ground-glass opacities were more common in NSIP type,while Grid shadows and honeycomb shadows were more common in UIP type.The dry cough,chest tightness / shortness of breath,Raynaud's phenomenon,wet rales,triglyceride increased,anti-Sm antibody positive rate,anti-U1-nRNP positive rate between two groups were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of SLE-IP were dry cough,chest tightness / shortness of breath,Raynaud's phenomenon,wet rales,triglyceride increased,anti-Sm antibody positive and anti-U1-nRNP positive.Conclusion The presence of dry cough,chest tightness / shortness of breath,Raynaud's phenomenon,wet rales,triglyceride increased,anti-Sm antibody positive and anti-U1-nRNP positive all suggest the probability of interstitial pneumonia in SLE patients.HRCT plays an important role in the diagnosis of interstitial pneumonia in lupus,which is valuable to improve the prognosis.

Objective:To explore the surgical method and therapeutic effect of repairing thumb pulp defect with pedicled transposition of radial proper palmar digital artery flap of middle finger.Methods:Since June, 2006 to May, 2020, 17 cases(17 fingers) with thumb pulp defect were repaired by pedicled transposition of radial proper palmar digital artery flap of middle finger. The sizes of flap ranged from 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm to 4.2 cm × 2.0 cm. The antegrade pedicled flap of radial proper palmar digital artery of middle finger was used in 2 cases and the retrograde pedicled flap of middle finger was used in 15 cases. After the flap was resected, the donor sites were covered with a medium thickness skin graft transferred from the wrist or elbow. The skin graft did not need to be packed. The dorsal branch of the digital nerve was included in the flap and it was anastomosed with the proper nerve of the injured thumb stump. After 16-22 days of the operation, the pedicles were cut off. The patients were instructed to perform digit function exercise after the pedicle was cut off. After the operation, the patients were included in regularly follow-up through outpatient visit, telephone or WeChat interview. The appearance and sensation of the thumb and finger pulps and the function recovery of the thumb and finger joints were observed through the followed-ups.Results:All 17 flaps and donor site skin grafts survived over 3 to 32 months of follow-up. The flaps achieved good texture and natural appearance. The TPD recovered to 5~11 mm. According to the Michigan Hand Function Questionnaire, all the 17 patients were very satisfied with the overall appearance and function of the hands. According to TAM, the 17 cases were all in excellent.Conclusion:Repairing thumb pulp defect with radial proper palmar digital artery pedicled flap of middle finger, the flap resection is simple, and the donor site is hidden. The appearance and texture of flap is good. It is a safe, effective and good method.
