ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and outcome of critically illness with acute kidney injury (AKI) treated with continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) in children.Methods Twenty-four cases of critically illness with AKI were treated with CVVHDF in our pediatric intensive care unit from Jan 2008 to Dec 2010.The levels of creatinine (Cr),blood urea nitrogen (BUN),K +,Na + and HCO3- were observed before CVVHDF and 6,12,24,48,72 h after CVVHDF.ResultsCatheter was successfully established for CVVHDF in 24 cases of AKI.The average duration of CVVHDF was 46 h ( 16 ~142 h).The blood levels of Cr and BUN were significantly decreased at 6 h after CVVHDF [ ( 196.3 ±112.4) μmol/L,( 13.3 ± 8.5 ) mmol/L] and 12 h after CVVHDF [ ( 106.1 ± 84.2) μ mol/L,( 10.2 ± 9.7 )mmol/L] as compared to those before treatment [ (340.6 ±298.2) μmol/L,(31.6 ± 11.3) mmol/L] (P <0.05,P < 0.01 ).After 48 h of CVVHDF,the Cr,BUN returned to normal range.The imbalance of blood K +,Na +,and HCO3- improved at 6 h after CVVHDF and returned to nomal levels at 24 h.Total 28 d fatality rate was 29.2% (7/24),and all death cases were complicated with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.ConclusionCVVHDF therapy for AKI can quickly clear Cr,BUN and excess water,correct electrolyte disorders,improve kidney function in children.

Objective To analyze the impact of allograft category on the result of living related donor kidney transplantation (LRKT)and to evaluate the predominant donors. Methods A retrospective analysis of 104 recipients receiving LRKT from Apr. 2004 to Mar. 2008 was performed. Based on donor resource, all the recipient-donor pairs were divided into four groups: spousal donation group,parental donation group, sibling donation group and cousinly donation group. The observational parameters were selected for analysis, such as average post-transplant hospitalization dates, time for serum creatinine (Scr) back to normal level, Scr levels of every observational time point, incidence of major complications (infection, rejection, DGF) and recipient/graft survival rate. Results Recipient/graft survival rate of sibling donation group seemed higher. Recipients of sibling donation group seemed to have fewer post-transplant hospitalization dates, but higher rates of infection, while those of parental donation group seemed to have higher rates of rejection. Rates of rejection and infection of spousal donation group were lower than supposed. There was no statistically significant difference in time for Scr back to normal level and Set levels of every observational time point among these four groups. Conclusions The result of sibling donor renal transplantation is better, while short-term outcome of spouse donor renal transplantation is ideal, which is similar with parent or cousin donor renal transplantation. Except for human leukocyte antigen, aspects such as quality of donor kidney, predominance during operation and self-administration post-transplant are also the guarantee for the success.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of critically ill children infected with pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA) and PA antibiotics resistance in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).Methods Case records of children with PA infection admitted to PICU in children′s hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from Jan 2007 to Dec 2009 were reviewed for clinical characteristics,case fatality rate,prognosis and drug resistance.Results (1) Clinical features:12 cases were community-acquired infection and 46 cases were hospital-acquired infections in 58 cases.On the same period,hospital-wide surveillance obtained PA 232 strains,PICU obtained PA 112,the ratio was 48.3%.Twelve cases died and total mortality was 20.7%.The mortality was significantly difference between community-acquired infections (5 cases,41.6%)and hospital-acquired infections (7 cases,15.2%)(P<0.05).The main symptom of children with community-acquired infections were intestinal infection (5 cases) and sepsis (5 cases).The children had acute onset and developed to shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome rapidly.Laboratory examination revealed the white blood cell normal (7/12) and decreased in 5 cases (5/12).The value of C-reactive protein was increased significantly,and the concentration of blood endotoxin were also increased.In the hospital-acquired PA infection cases,the main symptom was respiratory abnormal (38 cases),worsen primary disease,extended staying days in PICU.(2)Drug resistance analysis:112 PA,69.8% of ceftazidime-resistant,72.8% of the imipenem-resistant.Conclusion There is significant difference of the clinical features between PA community-acquired infection and hospital-acquired infection.The former is mostly primary infections with high fatality rate.PA hospital-acquired infection has become an important pathogen of nosocomial infection in PICU.And it is important to prevent PA infection caused by a long term broad-spectrum antibiotics application and invasive medical procedures.

Objective:Discuss the diagnosis values on the upper digestive tract staininged by the endoscopy.Methods:After spraying straining on the 72 cases below parts using stomach endoscopy,who are suffering from esophagus,stomach disease,and duodenal,observe the staining struction and take some samples.Results:Take samples from Lugol's iodine unstaininged but areas on the 18 esophagus disease,the pathobology shows that 9 suffering f from esophagus carcinomas,3 Barrett's esophagus,6 chroinc esophgitis.Taking the staining areas as samples from 29 diseases (it is 80.55% among 36 disease suffering from methylene blue staining stomach),it appears that 5 are suffering from stomach cancer,21 are intestinal metaplosia and gastric dysplasia.Among 18 staining on bulbs of duodenal ulcer,11 unstaininged are checked gastric metaplasia (61.11%).Conclusions:The endoscopy staining possesses the ability of enlarging the endoscopy diagnosis.The method is simple and safe,it is worthy of clinical application and extending.

ABCB11 gene encodes bile salt export pump (BSEP).It is almost exclusively expressed in the canalicular microvilli of liver.It is the principal conveyor of bile acids from hepatocyte cytoplasm into bile canaliculus.It is clearly that BSEP defects can induce progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 and benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis type 2.ABCB11 gene variation are also responsible for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy,drug-induced cholestasis,primary sclerosis cholangitis and primary bile cirrhosis.This paper reviewed the association of ABCB11 gene variation and these diseases.

Objective To construct the fibroblast-specific non-viral vector pcDNA3-CEP-BMP-2 containing collagen 1A2 enhancer and promoter,and to validate the enhancement of BMP-2 expression in the human dermal fibroblasts by this vector,compared with the routine non-viral BMP2 vector. Methods The sequences for collagen 1A2 enhancer and promotor,and BMP-2 gene were ligated into the pcDNA3 plasmids.The plasmids were transfected into human skin fibroblasts and vein endothelial cells by means of cationic liposomes.The expressions of the plasmids in these two kinds of cells were detected by RT-PCR.The osteogenic phonotypes of fibroblasts were determined.(Results)pcDNA3-CEP-BMP-2,which contained collagen 1A2 enhancer and promoter could enhance the BMP-2 expression in the fibroblasts but not in vein endothelial cells.Osteogenetic phenotypes were more obvious in the fibroblasts transfected with pcDNA3-CEP-BMP-2 than in pcDNA3-BMP-2-transfected ones. Conclusion Collagen 1A2 enhancer and promoter can enhance BMP2 expression in fibroblasts.
