Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2014;29(17):1287-1290
Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura(HSP) is one of the most common vasculitides in children with many manifestations including skin purpura,arthritis,abdominal pain and renal involvement.The renal involvement(Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura nephritis,HSPN) is the principal cause of morbidity and major risk factor for prognosis in HSP.The paper reviewed the updated treatment strategy for HSPN.Accordingly,steroids,cyclophosphamide,mycophenolate mofetil,mizoribine,cyclosporine,triptolide,angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) / angiotensin receptor blockers(ARB),plasma apheresis and tonsillectomy are possible indicator for the further therapy of HSPN.Furthermore,prospective randomized controlled treatment studies on children with severe HSPN would be needed.
2.Review on Stem Cells Used on Heart Regeneration
Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2013;(11):1360-1362
[Objective] This article mainly discussed the potential of myocardial cellregeneration and the possible mechanisms involved. [Method] To study the mechanism of cardiac regeneration ability HSCs, this review studyed the relationship of the differentiation of cardiac stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, myocardial cells and myocardial regeneration and the possible mechanisms involved. [Result] Self-renewing, differentiation both in vitro and in vivo of the c-kit positive CSCs had been seen. No matter in physiological condition or after damage, the c-kit positive CSCs had clonality and the potential of multi-directional differentiation. Hematopoietic stem cells can generate cardiomyocytes and coronary blood vessels for human celltherapy. The ability of dedifferentiation cells to maintain and improve the ventricular function of a damaged heart is very limited. [Conclusion] CSCs and HSCs play an important role in reversing chronic ischemic and non-ischemic heart failure.

Background and purpose:Visceral pleural invasion (VPI) and vessel invasion (VI) are poor prognostic factors in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary initial recurrence site may be local recurrence in VPI and distant metastasis in VI. The purpose of this study was to validate the prognostic impact and effect of the initial recurrence site of VPI and VI on survival outcomes for NSCLC.Methods:Two hundred and ninety patients who were diagnosed as having NSCLC and underwent lobectomy between Jan. 2007 and Dec. 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. VPI was identiifed in 51 patients as VPI group, the other 239 patients without VPI as non-VPI group. VI was identiifed in 29 patients as VI group, the other 261 patients without VI as non-VI group. Clinical characteristics, overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) were compared.Results:There were statistically signiifcant differences between VPI group and non-VPI group in tumor size, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage and initial recurrence site (P<0.05). Furthermore, there were statistically signiifcant differences between VI group and non-VI group in lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P<0.05). The 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates in VPI group (88.2%, 56.7% and 52.7%) were lower than those in non-VPI group (95.8%, 83.7% and 74.0%,P<0.001). The 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates in VI group (79.3%, 56.8% and 48.7%) were lower than those in non-VI group (96.1%, 81.3% and
72.3%,P=0.001). Cox regression showed TNM stage was a significant prognostic factor for DFS, whereas lymph node metastasis and VPI were signiifcant prognostic factors in patients with NSCLC.Conclusion:The primary initial recurrence site in VPI patients is local recurrence. Patients with VPI or VI may need more postoperative therapy because of their poor prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of anticoagulant citrate dextrose solution A (ACD-A ) in continuous blood purification (CBP) for patients at high risk of bleeding with ARF. Methods Twelve patients at high risk of bleeding, treated with continuous venovenous hemofiltration(CVVH), were divided into regional citrate anticoagulant (RCA) group and control group. In the former, ACD-A solution was delivered, pre-filter , with the rate adjusted to maintain a postfilter ionized calcium (iCa2+) level between 0.30-0.40 mmol/L. Before the extracorporeal blood returned to the patient, 10% calcium gluconate was infused to maintain a systemic iCa2+ level between 0.90-1.20 mmol/L. In control group, CVVH were performed either with low dose of heparin LMW sodium (1700-2500 IU/12 h-24 h)or without anticoagulant. The life span of each hemofilter was recorded. In RCA group, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) , acid-base changes, serum sodium and iCa2+ were monitored pre- and during CVVH. Result In the whole duration 1192.5 hours of CVVH in RCA group and 596 hours in control group, 62 and 42 hemofilters were used, respectively. Filter survival was 65.3% at 24 h and 24.5% at 48 h in RCA group,while 14.5% and 0 in control group. The mean life span of filter in RCA group was significantly longer than that in control group[(29.4?21.0) (1.5-71.5)h vs( 14.2?8.2) (4.5-40)h, P
