Objective:To investigate the expression of anti-endothelial cell antibodies(AECA) in patients serum with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody( ANCA) negative pauci-immune deposition type crescentic glomerulonephritis and its relationship with clinical signatures. Methods:We selected 94 pauci-immune deposition type crescentic glomerulonephritis patients from 2010 to 2015 treated in our hospital,45 of which with ANCA-negative( observation group) and 49 cases of ANCA-positive patients ( control group) , AECA levels of each groups serum were detected by Western blot test. Results: The average age of the observation group and Bermingham vasculitis activity score(BVAS) respectively (41. 08 +9. 43) years old and (15. 03 +3. 82),significantly lower than the control group (P<0. 05);the observation group had fever,joint pain accounted for 26. 67% and 13. 33%,significantly lower than the control group ( P<0. 05 );the observation group of nephrotic syndrome accounted for 48. 89%, higher than the control group ( P<0. 05);observation group positive rate of serum AECA was 46. 67%,significantly lower than the control group 81. 63% (P<0. 05);the observation group IgG-AECA identified 7 proteins,while the control group had identified 11 proteins,of which the observation group the positive rate of anti 90 kD antibody was 13. 33%( 6/45 ) , significantly lower than the control group 51. 02%( 25/49 ) ( P<0. 05 );observation group of anti 76 kD antibody positive patients had rash ratio of 100%, significantly higher than negative patients ( P<0. 05),anti 200 kD antibody positive the BVAS score of the patients was (18. 02 + 2. 51),which was significantly higher than that of the negative patients ( P < 0. 05 ) . Conclusion: The different level of AECA in ANCA negative pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis patients may be associated with certain clinical manifestations;clinical manifestations differences between the ANCA negative and positive patients may be associated with different expression of the AECA related,the detail need a further study.

Objective:To investigate the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation rate, mutation characteristics and distribution characteristics of different mutation types in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Fuyang of Yunnan province, to provide the clinical individualized targeted therapy of NSCLC in this region.Methods:A total of 328 NSCLC patients whose native place were Fuyuan and who underwent EGFR test in Fuyuan County People's Hospital in Yunnan Province from January 2018 to August 2020 were selected, and their clinical data such as gender, age, ethnicity, pathological type and the results of EGFR test were collected for statistical analysis.Results:The EGFR mutation rate of NSCLC patients was 40.55% (133/328). The EGFR mutation rate of female patients was higher than that of males ( P < 0.01). The EGFR mutation rate showed a downward trend with age, the EGFR mutation rate of patients ≤ 60 years old was higher than that of patients > 60 years old ( P = 0.014). The EGFR mutation rate in ethnic minority was not statistically different from Han nationality ( P = 0.789). The EGFR mutation rate of patients without smoking history was higher than that of patients with smoking history ( P<0.01). Patients with adenocarcinoma had a higher EGFR mutation rate than squamous cell carcinoma ( P = 0.002). The EGFR mutation rate in patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱwere higher than that in patents with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ ( P = 0.013). The EGFR mutation rate in tissue samples were higher than that in peripheral blood samples ( P = 0.009). In 328 patients the EGFR single-point mutation rate was 24.70% (81/328), and the compound mutation rate was 15.85% (52/328); the common mutation rate was 17.07% (56/328), and the rare mutation rate was 23.48% (77/328). The top 5 mutation types were L858R (10.06%), G719X+S768I (7.32%), 19-Del (7.01%), G719X+L861Q (6.40%), and G719X (4.21%). In 133 patients with EGFR mutation, the proportion of patients with rare mutation [57.89% (77/133)] was higher than the proportion of patients with common mutation [42.11% (56/133)]. Conclusion:The EGFR mutation rates of female, adenocarcinoma, non-smoking and young NSCLC patients in Fuyuan area are high, and the rare mutation rate is high.
