Objective To understand the clinical and pathological features of hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulonephritis(HBV-GN).Methods Twenty children with HBV-GN were analysed including 17 cases of nephritic syndrome (4 cases of simple nephrosis, 13 cases of nephritic nephrosis),2 cases of isolated proteinuria, 1 case of nephritic syndrome according to the clinical classification.Results On the basis of pathology of kidney biopsy, there were 15 cases of membranous glomerulonephritis(MN),3 cases of manbranoproliferative glomerulonephritis(MPGN),2 cases of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis(MsPGN).Eight of 20 cases were treated with recombinated human alpha-interfeon. The average follow-up time was 5.7 years. As the result, complete remission clinically was on 5 cases,partial remission on 2 cases and ineffectiveness on one case. Besides, serum HBsAg, HBeAg were converted to negative on 3 cases , HBeAg disappeared and anti-HBe appeared on one case.Conclusion MN is common in childhood with HBV-GN.It also indicates the prognosis of the associated nephropathies is quite favorable.

Objective To discuss the cause, managment and prevention of the postoperative complications of orbital implantation by clinical case analysis, and to provide reference for the future clinical work. Methods 175 cases of orbital implantation from Aug. 2011 to Aug. 2013 were retrospectively analyzed in our department. The postoperative complications occurrence, related symptomatic treatment, and the reasons of complications were analyzed. Results Complications occurred in 175 cases of 9 cases(5. 14%),including 4 cases of the con-junctival cyst (2.29%),3 cases of orbital implants exposure(1.71%),1 case of orbital chronic infection(0.57%)and 1 case of subcon-junctival tissue atrophy(0. 57%). All of them had obtained good curative through cyst excision or orbital implanting again after the active treatment. There were no complication occurred again. Conclusion The postoperative complications should be positively analyzed, and early positive precaution could reduce most of the complications.

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) pathway in knee joint synovial tissues of rats with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to explore the action mechanism of EA on RA. Methods: Twelve of the 48 SPF male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were assigned to a normal group by the random number table method. The remaining 36 rats were subjected to RA model preparation by intradermal injection of the Freund's complete adjuvant into the right hind foot pad of each rat under sterile conditions. After the model was successfully prepared, rats were then divided into a model group, a drug group and an EA group according to a random number table method (n=12). Rats in the drug group were treated with 2 mL aqueous solution of tripterygium glycosides [8.1 mg/(kg?bw)]; rats in the EA group were treated with EA at bilateral Yanglingquan (GB 34) and Zusanli (ST 36), for 30 min each time; rats in the normal group and the model group were placed in a special rat fixation tank for 30 min each time, and received the same dose of normal saline as those in the drug group. Rats in all groups received intervention once a day for 4 weeks. Diameter of rat ankle joint and rat arthritis index were measured before and after the intervention. At the end of the experiment, the expressions of phospho-JAK2 and phospho-STAT3 were determined by immunohistochemistry. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect JAK2 and STAT3 mRNAs expressions. Results: After the model was produced, the arthritis index >2 was considered successful in model preparation. Compared with the model group, the ankle joint diameters and arthritis indexes of rats in the drug group and the EA group were significantly lower (all P<0.01); immunohistochemical staining cells with phospho-JAK2 and phospho-STAT3 were significantly decreased (all P<0.01); the expression levels of JAK2 and STAT3 mRNAs were decreased with statistical differences (all P<0.01). There were no significant differences between the EA group and the drug group (all P>0.05). Conclusion: EA can alleviate the inflammatory response of RA rats, improve their pathological conditions, reduce the expressions of phospho-JAK2 and phospho-STAT3 in the synovial tissue of knee joint, and decrease the expressions of JAK2 and STAT3 mRNAs. The therapeutic effect of EA is comparable to that of the tripterygium glycosides. The mechanism of EA treatment may be related to the inactivation of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Objective To explore the relationship between clinical and pathological changes of complement 1q(C1q) nephropathy. Methods Clinical manifestation, pathologic features including glomerulus change, renal tubule - interstitial change and im-munopathology were compared between 10 cases of C1q nephropathy in children, who were diagnosed by renal biopsy. Results Presentation included idiopathic nephritic syndrome(6 cases), simple hematuria(2 cases), nephritic syndrome(1 case), rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis( 1 case); Renal biopsy revealed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis( FSGS) in 5, minimal-change disease( MCD) and mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) respectively in two and crescentic glomerulonephritis in one. In addition, there were renal - tubule interstitial changes with 3 cases of grade I and grade II each other, 2 of grade III , 1 of grade IV . The prominent immunofluorescent features was the presence of bright mesangial deposition of C1q. The average follow - up time was 25.7 months. Six cases presenting nephrotic syndrome were resistant to steroid, but 5 were released after immunosuppressive therapy, the other had progressive renal insufficiency. Conclusions C1q nephropathy falls with the clinical - pathologic spectrum of FSGS generally. It is also presented as steroid - resistant nephritic syndrome. Moreover, the prognosis of C1q nephropathy is related to renal tubulointerstitial pathologic lesions not to C1q deposition.

23 cases were treated with immediate full denture.The second base-remodeling or re-prosthodontic treatment was given 3 months later based on the oral condition.Masticatory efficiency (ME)was measured at each stage.About 30% patients participated in the second base-remodeling procedure with ME of 52.63%.

Objective To observe the clinical efficiency and safety of docetaxel(TXT) or irinotecan(CPT-11) combined with oxaliplatin(L-OHP) and S-1 in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer.Methods Totally 62 cases of patients with stage Ⅲ B-Ⅳ advanced gastric cancer in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of our hospital were collected from 1st January 2010 to 1st March 2016,and were divided into two groups:TXT combined with L-OHP and S-1 group (modified DCF group,33 patients) and CPT-11 combined with L-OHP and S-1 group (modified ICF group,29 patients).All patients in the two groups were completed at least 1 cycle of chemotherapy until disease progression or intolerable toxicity.At the end of chemotherapy,the curative effects,untoward reactions and effects of surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment were compared and analyzed.Results The objective response rate (ORR) in the modified DCF group(60.6％) was higher than that in the modified ICF group (51.7％),while no statistically significant difference was found in short-term effects between the two groups (Z=-0.837,P=0.403).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidences of main untoward reactions,including gastrointestinal reaction,myelosuppression,neurotoxicity,alopecia and liver function abnormal,between the two groups (P＞0.05).The radical resection rate of the modified DCF group and the modified ICF group after neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 66.7 ％ and 62.1 ％ respectively,the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (x2=0.143,P=0.706).After neoadjuvant chemotherapy,the main postoperative complications were anastomotic leakage,anastomotic obstruction,abdominal infection,pulmonary infection,incision infection and gastric motility disorder,and no statistically significant difference was found in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (P＞0.05).The was no statistically significant difference in quality of life after chemotherapy between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion TXT or CPT-11 combined with L-OHP and S-1 has similar efficacy in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer,which could reduce tumour size,improve radical resection rate.Furthermore,untoward reactions of the two neoadjuvant chemotherapy protocols are almost the same,and can be tolerated.It is worthy of further research and application.
