Objective To explore the relationship of immunoglobulin A(IgA) nephropathy (IgAN) and Henoch - Schonlein purpura nephritis(HSPN) in children by making comparison in the aspects of clinical symptoms, laboratory tests and renal pathology. Methods Process the data of 69 cases of HSPN and 33 cases of IgAN respectively in clinical symptoms' frequency, indices of urinalysis and blood cell count, protein quantity in urine of 24 hours, serum level of immunoglobulins, C3 and C4, as well as renal pathologic results. Results In IgAN group, the incidence of male was higher than that of female, respiratory tract infections usually occur as prodrome. Macroscopic hematuria was the most prominent clinical feature, while rash, joint pain, abdominal symptoms seldom happened. Level of hemoglobin in IgAN group was decreased significantly. There were no significant differences in edema, hypertension, proteinuria degree, level of plasm albumin, level of serum IgA, IgG, IgM, IgE, C3 and C4, as well as the features of renal pathologic changes between IgAN and HSPN.Conclusions IgAN and HSPN have similar features in clinical symptoms,level of immunoglobulins and complements and renal pathology. But it is still under discussion whether they are different stages of the same disease.

Drug resistance and relapse are two major causes for treatment failure of leukemia, but their mechanisms remain elusive. Recently, increasing evidence shows that there is a subset of leukemia stem cells apart from immature leukemia cells in leukemia patients. These malignant stem cells do not response to routine chemotherapeutic agents, and may be the source of drug resistance and relapse of leukemia. Permanent cure of leukemia need elimination of these leukemia stem cells. We describe molecular characteristics of leukemia stem cells and possible target therapeutic strategies in this review.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the therapeutic effect of Acertil on stroke sequel.METHODS:The liver function,kidney function,ion,blood sugar and blood pressure of enrolled patients were examined at given time periods.RESULTS:Dis?ability degree0～1∶Acertil group14cases(49.99%),control group8cases(30.67%);Disability degree3～4∶Acertil group1case(3.5%),control group5cases(19.22%).CONCLUSION:Acertil can abate the disability degree of stroke sequel patients.

Objective To investigate the experience of microinvasive surgical occlusion of ventricular septal defect (VSD).Methods A total of 142 children with VSD was given microinvasive surgical occlusion from March 2009 to December 2013 at our hospital.There were 90 males and 52 females,the age ranged from 8 months to 11 years,and body weight from 7 kg to 35 kg,and ventricular septal defects were divided into membranous type,film cycle headquarter type,pulmonary valve type,and muscle type.The diameter of VSD was 2 ～ 10 mm.Under general anesthesia,an incision was made in the lower part of sternum or intercostals space,and a special occluder was inserted to close the ostium via right ventricle puncture under the guidance of transesophageal echocardiography.Results A total of 139 cases had successful occluded with a 97.8％ of successful rate,using blocking umbrella 4 ～ 12#,including 25 eccentric umbrella.Two cases were operated under extracorporeal circulation because of aggravated aortic valve insufficiency.One case without handled muscular ventricular septal defect combined atrial septal defect for guide wire pass muscular defect failed.Full set did not have death and third degree A-V block.Conclusions Microinvasive surgical occlusion is easy to handle,operation-time short,and relative broad for the closure of ventricular septal defect.It has a fast recovery and good effectiveness with a beautiful outlook and safety.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the antihypoxic effect of orientoside on hypoxia model rats.METHODS:The hy-poxia rats model was established through normobaric hypoxia,poisoning with sodium nitrite,potassium cyanide and lidocaine,trachea occlusion,decapitation,etc.20minutes prior to the modeling,the rats were administered with the corresponding drugs with the anti-hypoxic effects observed.RESULTS:As compared with placebo group,the survival time of rats under nor-mobaric hypoxia,poisoned by sodium nitrite,potassium cyanide and lidocaine,and the electrocardiograph extinction time after trachea occlusion and the gasping time of mice after decapitation were all significantly prolonged by orientoside.CONCLU-SION:Orientoside has antihypoxic effect on hypoxia model rats.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Huangqi inoculation fluid union chemotherapy in the treat- ment of the induction chemotherapy time of acute leukemia.Methods The patients with acute leukemia were ran- domized into two groups:the 1st group treated with conventional induction chemotherapy(control-group) and the 2nd group treated with chemotherapy treatment union Huangqi inoculation fluid(observation-group).Chinieal effects and poisonous side effects of two groups were compared.Results The completely alleviating rate of observation- group was 87.75%,the partially alleviating rate of observation-group was 4.04%,and KPS grades total improve- ment rate was 73.47%;the completely alleviating rate of control-group was 50.00%,the partially alleviating rate of control group was 16.67%,and KPS grades total improvement rate was 36.67%;the poisonous side effects of ob- servation-group was lower titan that of the control-group(P
