1.Progress of C3 glomerulopathy
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2015;22(4):276-278
C3 glomerulopathy is a group of diseases with immunofluorescence staining C3 along the glomerular capillary loops deposition,may be accompanied by other immunoglobulin deposition,but C3 sedi-mentary classic way was more than other immunoglobulin and complement activation ingredients ( such as C1q,C4). C3 glomerulopathy is a group of primary glomerular disease and relatively rare. This article mainly reviewed the pathological characteristic of C3 glomerulopathy,clinical manifestation,diagnosis and treatment, in order to improve clinical understanding of C3 glomerulopathy.
2.Research progress of infectious mononucleosis
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2016;39(5):475-478
Infectious mononucleosis(IM) was one of the clinical common diseases, caused by epstein-barr virus infection in more than 90%patients. Changes of the surface antigen of the B cells with EB virus infection caused strong immune response of T lymphocytes, besides, helper T lymphocyte, dendritic cells, NK cells also played an important role in the pathogenesis of IM. The incidence of IM was not only closely related with social environment in childhood, but also closely with the number of siblings, birth order, and sunshine factor. In addition to the typical clinical manifestations, IM also can cause a variety of complications, such as spleen rupture and necrotizing mediastinitis , and could be life-threatening. Auxiliary examination means such as state of peripheral blood lymphocyte apoptosis, plasma proteomics, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, load test of EB virus can help to diagnose. Application of antiviral drugs was wider, but hormone was still controversial. Vaccine research progress had been slow, but there were vaccines for human test, which will provide effective measures for the prevention of IM.
3.Diagnosis and treatment of hypocalcemia in critical illness children
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2017;40(2):190-192
Hypocalcemia often exists in critical illness children. Most of the sick children do not have an underlying disease of calcium homeostasis, and the mechanism of the hypocalcemia is complicated. Abnormal values of blood calcium may be a sign of critical illness and normalize spontaneously with resolution of the primary disease process. Hypocalcemia may be a autoprotection , and it may be harmful if we try to correct it. This article focuses on the theory and clinical treatment of hypocalcemia in critical illness children.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor is recently added to the list of effective lipid-lowering drugs in addition to statins, which can reduce low density lipoprotein cholesterol, treat increased low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) patients. In the past 30 years, the prevalence of dyslipidemia increased significantly. LDL-C characterized dyslipidemia is an important risk factor of ASCVD and a part of metabolic syndrome, which exists before or after or at the same time of the appearance of obesity, diabetes, and glucose intolerance, coronary heart disease and other diseases. Decreasing LDL-C level can significantly reduce the incidence and mortality risk of ASCVD. In this paper, the research on the regulation of dyslipidemia by PCSK9 inhibitors is discussed.

Objective To investigate the factors affecting rural women suffering from postpartum depression in order to provide scientific basis for rational intervention.Methods 368 rural pierperas whose deliveries were in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were surveyed by trained professional nurses with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale from May 1,2013 to April 30,2014.The data were processed by chi square test and unconditional logistic regression analysis to find the independent risk factors associated with postpartum depression.Results There were 347 valid questionnaires.The incidence of depression after delivery was 25.1% (87/347).Logistic regression analysis showed that the low income family [OR=1.982 (1.238-2.562)],the inconformity of actual and expected baby gender [OR=0.465 (0.183-0.759)] and the mother-in-law as caregiver of pierpera [OR=2.459 (1.950-2.913)] were independent risk factors for postpartum depression of rural women,three of them are significant statistically,P<0.05.Conclusions Understanding the risk factors for postpartum depression and being targeted to guide individually can reduce the incidence of postpartum depression.

Objectives To explore the changes of serum interleukin-33 (IL-33), IgA anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA) and IgA anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA) in acute stage of Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura (HSP) in children and its clinical signiif-cance. Methods Thirty-seven children with acute HSP admitted to hospital were selected from Nov.2012 to Jan.2013. Twenty healthy children were selected as healthy controls. The serum levels of IL-33 were measured by double anti-body sandwich en-zyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the serum levels of AECA-IgA and ACA-IgA were detected by double antigen sandwich ELISA. Results Serum levels of IL-33, AECA-IgA and ACA-IgA in patients with acute HSP were signiifcantly higher than those in healthy controls (P<0.001). According to different clinical types, the serum levels of IL-33, AECA-IgA and ACA-IgA were signiifcantly higher in mixed-type HSP (with joint involvement and gastrointestinal symptoms and/or kidney damage) than those in HSP patients with only joint, abdomen or renal involvement (P<0.05). Serum levels of IL-33 in acute stage of HSP had a positive correlation with AECA-IgA (r=0.752, P<0.001) and ACA-IgA (r=0.788, P<0.001). Conclusions The immune pathological injury in vessels caused by the interaction of IL-33, AECA-IgA and ACA-IgA may be the important pathogenesis of HSP, which may provide a clue for the early diagnosis and treatment for HSP.

Objective To develop a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) detection method for quantification of the nonpolar amino acids in amniotic fluid of congenital malformation including alanine (Ala),leu cine (Leu),isoleucine (Ile),proline (Pro) and phenylalanine (Phe).To compare the different amino acids in amniotic fluid between pregnant women with congenital malformation and normal control and analyze the corresponding pathogenesis.Methods After precipitated protein of the 100 μL supernatant of amniotic fluid by methyl alcohol,the supernatant was dried by nitrogen.The extractions were treated with MSTFA for derivatization.Then gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to detect and analyze the amino acids.Results This method was proved to have good sensitivity,precision,accuracy and recoveries.Under the optimum testing conditions,the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.12-0.38 mg/L.The calibration curves showed good linearity over the investigated concentration range between 0.5 and 10 mg/L.The recoveries were 91.12% to 104.41%.The relative standard deviation of intra and inter-day was 0.84% to 9.33%.The developed method was applied to the quantification of 5 nonpolar amino acids in amniotic fluid of 17 pregnant women with congenital malformation and 13 normal control pregnant woman.The contents of leucine and isoleucine decreased in disease group compared to controls.The difference of the other three amino acids between the two groups had no statistical significance.Conclusions The validation results showed that the method was suitable for detection of the amino acids in amniotic fluid and having broad prospect of clinical application.Leucine may participate in the pathogenesis of congenital malformation.
