Objective To analyze the clinical and pathologieal characteristics of IgA nephmlogy secondary to primary sj(o)gren's syndrome(pSS).Method The clinical and pathological data of 8 patients with pSS and IgA in Changzheng Hospital from 2004 to 2009 were analyzed.Results The average age of seven female and one male was (44±8) years old.Five patients presented with edema and proteinuria.Eight patients presented with microhematuria.The average 24-hour proteinuria was (3±4) g.Two patients had hypertension.Serum creatinine levels of two patients were higher than normal level,the others'were normal.Light microscopy examination showed three patients were mild mesangial proliferation with Lee's classification grade Ⅰ;five patients had global sclerosis with Lee's classification grade Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ.Positive IgA was mainly found under immunofluorescence microscopy.Electronic microscopy showed no electron-dense deposits.Conclusion IgA nephrology secondary to pSS is different from primary IgA nephrology under immunofluorescence microscopy.

Objective To observe the efficacy of ealcitonin and bisphosphonates on renal osteopathy of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD)patients. Methods Forty-three MHD patients were raindomly divided into two groups: A group and B group. All the patients were routinely received oral calcium carbonate 1.0 g tid and calcitriol 0.25 μg qd. Calcitonin (20U) hypodermic injection was given three times a week additionally during hemodialysis in A group. Patients in B group received bisphosphonates 70 mg once a week based on the therapy of A group. Serum levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase (AKP), bone mass density (BMD) of lumbar spine and femoral neck, and the degree of bone ache (visual analogue scale, VAS) were assessed before the therapy and 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment. The adverse reactions were recorded during treatment. Results The levels of AKP and iPTH in both two groups decreased significantly after treatment. The above values of pre-treatment and 12 months after treatment were as follows: AKP(U/L)of A group 244.05±41.99 and 148.35±27.71,of B group 245.60±40.86 and 143.40±28.03;PTH(ng/L) of A group 697.5±119.7 and 267.4±45.9,of B group 708.2±120.3 and 277.6±41.9 (all P<0.05). While the levels of calcium and phosphorus did not change obviously during treatment (P>0.05). BMD was not improved at 3, 6 mouths and became better at 12 mouths after treatment. As compared to pre-treatment, BMD of lumbar spine(g/cm2) in A group was 1.062±0.223 vs 1.202±0.251 ,in B group 1.033±0.152 vs 1.189±0.225; BMD of femoral neck (g/cm2)in A group was 0.993±0.108 vs 1.067±0.095,in B group 0.947±0.083 vs 1.018 ±0.217 (all P<0.05). The scores of VAS also decreased significantly at 3, 6, 12 months after treatment(P<0.05). No severe adverse reaction was found during the treatment. Conclusions Utilization of calcitonin and combination with bisphosphonates during bemodialysis can effectively preserve the BMD and prevent bone loss in MHD patients and is well tolerated. No significant difference of therapeutic effect is observed between using ealcitonin or combination with bisphosphonates.

Objective:To evaluate one-year efficacy and safety of sirolimus-eluting stent with biodegradable polymer coating (EXCEL stent) in treating patients with coronary artery disease. Methods:One hundred consecutive hospitalized patients with coronary artery diseases exclusively treated with EXCEL stents were prospectively enrolled.After undergoing porcutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) all patients received dual anti-platelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin for 6 months and followed by aspirin alone.The primary end point was major adverse cardiac events(MACE) at 12 months.The secondary end points included binary in-stent restenosis rate(ISR)measured by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) analysis at mean 8 months post the index PCI procedure,and MACE at 30 days and 6 months. Results:All patients were successfully treated with EXCEL stents during PCI procedure.Among all 153 target lesions,127 lesions were type B2/C complex lesions (83.0%).The mean length and diameter of the target lesions were 29.42?15.90 mm and 3.17?0.53 mm,respectively.A total of 211 EXCEL stents were implanted with average stent number of 2.02?1.53 per patient.The mean stent length and diameter were 35.34?17.35 mm and 3.23?0.46 mm,respectively.Four patients (4.0%) reached the primary end point at 12 months,which were 4 target lesion re-PCI due to ISR.No death,MI,or in-stent thrombosis occurred during the 6-month aspirin treatment alone after comleting 6-month dual anti-platelet therapy.QCA analysis of 112 le- sions of 75 patients showed 3.6% (4/112) of in-stent restenosis and 5.4% (6/112) of in-segment restenosis. Conclusions:The initial registry study showed that comparison with the published data from previous pivotal studies of others drug-eluting stents,the EXCEL stent revealed similarly incidence of 12-month ISR and/or MACE for the real world patients with coronary artery disease.The anti-platelet regimen of 6-month clopidogrel treatment after EXCEL implantation was safe.This con- clusion requires further investigation by large scale,multi-center,and longer-term follow-up clinical trials.

Objective To explore the role of defoamer enema combined with bellym assage on the colonic preparation in elderly patients with constipation. Methods One hundred patients were divided into two groups by random number table method, the experimental group and the control group with 50 cases each. Patients in the control group were told to drink polyethyleneglycolelectrolytesolution 3000 ml. Patients in the experimental group were told to drink polyethyleneglycolelectrolytesolution 2000 ml. After medicinepre paration, the patients of experimental group were given defoamer enema. After that, they were undertaken counterclockwise massage for10 mins, then massageing clockwise until defecation.

Objective To assess the clinical value of measuring the concentration of serum osteoprotegerin (OPG) in detecting the bone metastases in patients with prostate cancer. Methods The concentration of serum OPG in 40 patients was determined by ELISA. The data of ECT bone scan and Gleason score was collected simultaneously. The correlations between serum OPG and bone metastases, Gleason score were tested. Results The concentration of serum OPG in patients with bone metastases by ECT scan was( 16 237. 19 ±5144. 26) ng/L,which was significantly higher than the concentration in patients without bone metastases , which was (12 123.32 ±4136. 50)ng/L. There was no significant correlation between serum OPG and Gleason score. Conclusions The serum OPG has an important clinical value in prediction of prostate cancer with bone metastases. There is no significant correlation between serum OPG and the Gleason score.

Objective To evaluate the effects of alendronate sodium on bone mineral density (BMD) in maintenance haemodialysis (MHD) patients with osteoporosis. Methods Twenty-eight MHD patients with osteoporosis diagnosed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry were randomly divided into control group (n=15) and treatment group (n=13). Patients in treatment group were treated with oral 70 mg alendronate sodium once a week for 18 months. BMD of hip and lumbar spine was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and the end of the 6th, 12th and 18th month. Parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphorous, alkaline phosphatase levels, blood routine, hepatic and renal function were assayed at baseline and the end of the 18th month, Kt/V was calculated, new bone fracture was recorded. Results The BMD, T-scores and Z-scores in the lumbar spine and specific regions of the hip were stable in the treatment group and obviously decreased in the control group (P<0.01). New bone fracture was found in 1 patient of the treatment group and 5 patients of the control group. The side-effect of alendronate sodium was epigastric discomfort in 1 cases. Conclusions Oral alendronate sodium appears to be well tolerated in MHD patients and keep the BMD stable in the lumbar spine and specific regions of the hip.

Objective To observe the protein degredation of empty puparium cases ofC. megacephala after weathering and to explore its practical significance on postmortem interval estimation in forensic science. MethodsThe standardized feeding was used inC. megacephala, and the empty puparium cases were collected and put into the forest. They were taken back 5 days, and 10 days later, respectively. The spectra were collected and preprocessed, and then the absorption peaks of amides were read, and curve fitting was performed in the average spectra of each group. The statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 19.0.Results Compared to control group, ifve days post weathering, the position of amideⅠabsorption peak showed blue shift, but the amideⅡabsorption peak showed no shift, moreover, none of the amide absorption peaks showed changes inpeak intensity. For the secondary structures, α-helix decreased and β-sheet increased slightly, however, β-turn did not change; Ten days post weathering, the positions of both amideⅠandⅡabsorption peaks showed blue shift, and an obviousshoulder peak appeared in amide I absorption peak. Meanwhile, both of amideⅠandⅡabsorption peaks showed decreased in peak intensity. Moreover, for the secondary structures, α-helix and β-sheet showed the same tendency as in the 5th day group, except for the β-turn increased dramaticlly.Conclusion The spectra of the empty puparium cases of C. megacephala showed that the absorption peaks of amideⅠandⅡpresented certain characteristic features within ten days post weathering, and estimate relative long-time postmortem interval.
