Objective:To discuss the etiology, clinical manifestations and renal pathological features of acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) in children.Methods:The etiology, clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics, clinical effects and outcome of the children with AIN diagnosed by renal biopsy from January 2010 to December 2019 in Nanjing Jinling Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the kidney survival rate. Cox regression model was built to analyze the risk factors for developing end-stage renal disease (ESRD) at baseline in AIN children.Results:A total of 51 children with AIN were diagnosed by renal biopsy, including 36 males and 15 females. The age was (12.94±2.55) years old (2-17 years old). The clinical manifestations of AIN in children were various and lack of specificity. Only 2 cases (3.92%) had triad. All of the 51 children with AIN showed acute renal injury (AKI), accompanied by increased serum creatinine and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate. The stage of AKI was mainly stageⅢ(33 cases, 64.71%). Infection was the main cause (38 cases, 74.51%) and drug factor was the second cause (27 cases, 52.94%) in children with AIN. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were the main inducers of drug-induced AIN (18 cases, 35.29%). The interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration or interstitial edema was found in 51 children. The infiltration of inflammatory cells was mainly mononuclear cells (46 cases, 90.20%). After 4 weeks of treatment, 32 cases (62.75%), 11 cases (21.57%) and 8 cases (15.69%) showed complete, partial and no recovery of renal function, respectively. After 12 weeks of treatment, 49 cases (96.08%), 0 cases (0) and 2 cases (3.92%) showed complete, partial and no recovery of renal function, respectively. After an average follow-up of 4.0(2.0-15.0) months, 2 case (3.92%) patients developed ESRD. The cumulative survival rates of ESRD at 1 year and 2 years after renal biopsy both were 100%, and renal survival rates at 5 years and 10 years were 96.55% and 72.41%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that N-acetyl-β-D-glucosidase (NAG) enzyme level>17.6 U/g·cr ( HR=15.729, 95% CI 1.045-15.977, P=0.042) and IgM deposition in renal tissue ( HR=7.523, 95% CI 1.142-9.541, P=0.033) were independent risk factors for developing ESRD in AIN children. Conclusions:AKI is the main clinical manifestation of AIN in children. The characteritic of renal pathology in AIN is tubulointerstitial lesions. After active treatment, most of the patients have a good prognosis. Prevention of infection and rational use of drugs are the key to reduce the incidence rate of AIN in children. The N-acetyl-β-D-glucosidase enzyme level>17.6 U/g·cr and IgM deposition in renal tissue are independent risk factors for developing ESRD in AIN children.

Radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) has been one of the most effective treatments for prostate cancer.This study is designed to identify the related predictive risk factors for complications in patients following RRP.Between 2000 and 2012 in Department of Urology,Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center,421 cases undergoing RRP for localized prostate cancer by one surgeon were included in this retrospective analysis.We reviewed various risk factors that were correlated with perioperative complications,including patient characteristics [age,body mass index (BMI),co-morbidities],clinical findings (preoperative PSA level,Gleason score,clinical stage,pathological grade),and surgeon's own clinical practice.Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) was used to explain comorbidities.The total rate of perioperative complications was 23.2% (98/421).There were 45/421 (10.7%),28/421 (6.6%),24/421 (5.7%) and 1/421 (0.2%) in grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ respectively,and 323/421 (76.8%) cases had none of these complications.Statistical analysis of multiple potential risk factors revealed that BMI >30 (P=0.014),Charlson score ≥1 (P<0.001) and surgical experience (P=0.0252) were predictors of perioperative complications.Age,PSA level,Gleason score,TNM stage,operation time,blood loss,and blood transfusion were not correlated with perioperative complications (P>0.05).It was concluded that patients' own factors and surgeons' technical factors are related with an increased risk of development of perioperative complications following radical prostatectomy.Knowing these predictors can both favor risk stratification of patients undergoing RRP and help surgeons make treatment decisions.

The clinical characteristics of patients who presented in poor clinical grade due to ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysms (MCAAs) associated with large sylvian hematomas (SylH) were analyzed and an ingenious designed prophylactic hinged craniectomy was introduced. Twenty-eight patients were graded into Hunt-Hess grades IV-V and emergency standard micro-neurosurgeries (aneurysm clipping, hematoma evacuation and prophylactic hinged craniectomy) were performed, and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. 46.43% of the patients reached encouraged favorable outcomes on discharge. The favorable outcome group and the poor outcome group significantly differed in terms of patients' anisocoria, Hunt-Hess grade before surgery, extent of the midline shift and time to the surgery after bleeding (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in age, sex, volume and location of the hematoma, size of aneurysm between the favorable and poor groups (P>0.05). However, ingenious designed prophylactic hinged craniectomy efficiently reduced the patients' intracranial pressure (ICP) after surgery. It was suggested that preoperative conditions such as Hunt-Hess grading, extent of the midline shift and the occurrence of cerebral hernia affect the prognosis of patients, but time to the surgery after bleeding and prophylactic hinged craniectomy are of significant importance for optimizing the prognosis of MCAA patients presenting with large SylH.
