Objective To observe ultrastructural changes in a clinical isolate of Penicillium marneffei(PM) before and after treatment with amphotericin B or voriconazole by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Methods A microdilution method was performed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)of amphotericin B and voriconazole against a clinical isolate of PM. Then, the PM isolate was treated with amphotericin B or voriconazole at their MICs and 10-fold MICs for 24, 48 and 72 hours. The ultrastructural changes in this isolate before and after the treatment were observed by using SEM and TEM. Results After the treatment with amphotericin B, SEM showed that the conidia or yeast cells of the PM isolate were gradually damaged, and their outer layers experienced detachment, shrinkage, breakage and adhesion with the increase in treatment duration and concentrations of amphotericin B; TEM also showed degenerated mitochondria, broken nuclei and cell walls, and shrunken cytoplasmic membrane with disappearance of cytoplasmic organelles. Similarly, the damage, shrinkage, shriveling and collapse of PM cells were seen by using SEM, and TEM showed many high-density electron-dense granules in cytoplasm, degeneration of mitochondria, roughening of cell wall surface, damage and shrinkage of cytoplasmic membrane, and disappearance of cytoplasmic organelles after voriconazole treatment. Conclusions Amphotericin B and voriconazole both had a strong antifungal effect on PM, and could induce evident ultrastructural changes, which were positively associated with treatment duration and concentrations. Moreover, amphotericin B caused more severe damage to PM compared with voriconazole.

Objective To investigate the role of autophagy in podocyte damage,and the intracellular mechanism of autophagy activation through passive Heymann nephritis (PHN) animal model.Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=40) were studied on day 0,2,4,7,and 21 after induction of PHN by injection of anti-Fx1A.Podocyte morphology and autophagosomes were observed by transmission electron microscopy.Podocyte numerical density was estimated by Weibel-Gomez =method.Cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay and caspase-3 immunohistochemical staining.Expressions of autophagy markers and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-associated proteins were analyzed by Western blotting.Results (1) In PHN rats,immunohistochemical staining showed that C5b-9 deposited along glomerular basement membrane on day 4 to day 21.Small subepithelial electron -dense deposits and a part of foot process fusion were detected in the glomerulus of PHN rats on day 4 by transmission electron microscope,and podocyte damage was aggravated on day 21.Furthermore,compared with control,the urinary protein levels of PHN rats began to increase on day 3,and reached the top on day 21 [(50.6±6.0) mg/24 h].(2) The number of podocytes significantly decreased in PHN rats compared with control group on day 21(P ＜ 0.05).(3) In PHN rats,apoptotic podocytes were found by caspase-3 immunohistochemical staining and TUNEL assay on day 21.(4) The expression of autophagy marker LC3 Ⅱ was markedly increased on day 7 and 21,but down-regulated on day 21 compared with day 7.Moreover,accumulated autophagosomes in podocytes were detected on day 7 and 21 by transmission electron microscope.(5) The level of GRP78 was significantly increased on day 2 and 7 but reduced to baseline on day 21.At the same time,the downstream pathways (ATF6α,p-PERK and p-JNK) of unfolded protein response were also up-regulated in the early process of PHN and down-regulated later.Conclusions Autophagy is an important way to protect against immunemediated podocyte injury in membranous nephropathy.Autophagy activation is mainly related to endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by complement attack.This provides an important basis for a thorough understanding of the role of autophagy in the process of podocyte damage and the pathogenesis of membranous nephropathy.

Objective To identify the clinical characteristics and pathological changes of patients suffered from glomerulonephritis complicating with acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) . Methods Twenty one patients of glomerulonephritis complicating with AIN diagnosed by renal biopsy were retrospectively analyzed . Thirty-five pure AIN patients were selected as controls .Results Glomerulonephritis complicating AIN accounted for 37 .5% of all the AIN cases . Βlactam antibiotics and Chinese herbs were the major causes of AIN . 76 .2% of cases received further examinations due to the elevation of serum creatinine (Scr) during their follow-up of kidney injuries or during routine exams for all kinds of discomforts . Pathological features of AIN were also detected besides glomerular leisions . The impairments of renal interstitia were severe than those of the glomeruli . Eosinophil in the renal interstitia was an important indicator for the diagnosis of AIN .The renal function returned to normal or baseline in 64 .7% of the patients of glomerulonephritis complicating with AIN whose follow-up data were available . The median period for renal function restoration was 150 days (compared with 60 days in pure AIN) . But there were no significant differences between these two groups as for the rate of irreversible renal insufficiency during a follow-up period of 2 years . Conclusions Symptoms of AIN in patients of glomerulonephritis complicating with AIN tend to be masked by their glomerular diseases . Renal biopsy is of most importance for the diagnosis . Early diagnosis and treatment leads to satisfactory prognosis .

ObjectiveTo explore the value of differential diagnosis between pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in active stage with clinic and ultrasound. MethodsWe analyzed retrospectively the characters of clinic and ultrasound of sixteen patients with PVNS and sixteen patients with rheumatoid arthritis inactive stage.ResultsIn aspects of patient’s age (T=185), pain scores (T=136) history of trauma (P=0.029), functionally uncompensated conditions (P=0.001) type (P=0.000) and sum (P=0.000) of involved joints、bright spot-echoes in hydrops (P=0.001) tendons nearby involved (P=0.001) and the Adler’s grade of Doppler ultrasound blood flow (P=0.009), the differences between PVNS and RA in active stage had statistical significance (P<0.05). Clinic characters: patients with PVNS were younger, often had a history of trauma. But patients with RA in active stage had a higher pain score and functionally uncompensated condition. Ultrasound characters: big and single joints were often involved in patients with PVNS, and tiny bright spot echoes could be detected in hydrops. Instead, big and small, multiple joints, tendons nearby were often involved in patients with RA, who had a higher ratio of gradeⅢ Doppler ultrasound blood flow. And in aspects of sex, the presence of hydrops and synovium thickness, the differences between the two had no statistical significance (P>0.05).ConclusionThe clinical characters including Patient’s age, pain scores, history of trauma, functionally uncompensated conditions, and the characters of ultrasound including type and sum of involved joints, bright spot echoes in hydrops, tendons nearby involved and the Adler’s grade of Doppler ultrasound blood flow, are helpful for the differential diagnosis of PVNS and RA in active stage.

Objective To develop and validate the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Scale for Prevention of Occupational Low Back Pain for Nurses (hereinafter referred to as KAP). Methods Based on the knowledge, attitudes and practice theory, a list of 48 potential items were developed by reviewing literatures related to the prevention of occupational low back pain in nurses. The Delphi expert consultation method was used to conduct two rounds of consultation on the items, and the KAP (draft) with 31 items was formed. A total of 269 nurses in a hospital in Guangdong Province were selected as study subjects by convenience sampling method and investigated with the KAP (draft). The list was selected and its validity tested using SPSS 25.0 software. Results The authority degrees of two rounds of expert consultation were 0.919 and 0.922. All of the recovery rates of valid questionnaires were >80.0%, with the coefficients of variation ranged from 0.07 to 0.40 and 0.05 to 0.28. The Kendall's concordance coefficients were 0.198 and 0.274, respectively (all P<0.05). After item selection, five items were removed, resulting in the KAP with 28-item including three dimensions： knowledge, attitude and behavior. The scale-level content validity index/average was 0.976, and the item-level content validity index ranged from 0.833 to 1.000, as assessed by experts. The scale demonstrated 100.0% for convergent and discriminative validity of the three dimensions. The exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 51.0%. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the overall scale and knowledge, attitude, and behavior dimensions were 0.880, 0.878, 0.895, and 0.877, respectively. Split-half reliability coefficients were 0.922, 0.863, 0.852, and 0.820, respectively. Conclusion The KAP shows good reliability and validity and can be used to assess knowledge, attitude and practice levels related to occupational low back pain prevention among nurses.
