Objective: To recognize the characteristics of anemia in patients with drug-associated renal parenchymal ARF and to investigate the possible relations among Hb, serum level of EPO and the renal tubulointerstitial injury. Methods: Sixteen in-patients with drug-associated renal parenchymal ARF (including ATN and ATIN groups)for the last five years and 8 healthy volunteers (control group) were assessed in this study. The general information of these patients was analyzed retrospectively. Anemia related laboratory parameters, serum EPO, serum creatinine (Scr) and the renal tubular function from the samples on the time of renal biopsy in each group were compared. For pathological comparison of renal tubulointerstitial pathological changes, renal biopsy specimens from 5 patients with mild non-IgA mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis were used as negative controls. The pathological changes in renal tubules and interstitial area were semi-quantitive scored by a computer imaging system. The correlations between Hb and EPO levels, as well as EPO level and renal function or pathological injury index were analyzed, respectively. Results: There was no significant difference among the ages, genders and the time intervals both from the administration to the onset of the disease and from the onset to the kidney biopsy among ATN and ATIN groups. Scr level was all higher than that in the control group (P

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of the cocktail therapy to treat patients with Parkinson's disease with dementia ( PDD) . Methods Sixty patients with PDD were randomly divided into treatment group(30 cases)and control group(30 cases). The dose 10 mg of donepezil hydrochloride was taken 1 time a day in the control group;on the basis,the dose 0. 2 g of butylphthalide soft capsules was taken pre-dinner, 3 times a day,the dose 0. 8 g of oxiracetam was taken 3 times a day and 2 Ginkgo Biloba Leaves Extract tablets was taken 3 times a day in the treatment group,period of treatment was 6 months. The curative effect was measured by using Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA),Blessed-Roth dementia table,severity of clinical dementia rating scale (WMS) rating, respectively before treatment and on the 3th, 6th month after treatment,and monitored the adverse reactions. Results There were no statistically significant differences on the scores of MoCA, WMS and Blessed-Roth dementia table between treatment group and control group before treatment ( all P>0. 05 ) . The scores of MoCA, WMS in the treatment group and control group on 6 months after treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment and 3 months after treatment, and the scores of Blessed-Roth dementia table in the treatment group and control group on 6 months after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment and 3 months after treatment ( P<0. 05-0. 01). Compared with control group,the scores of MoCA, WMS increased obviously and the scores of Blessed-Roth dementia table decreased significantly in the treatment group on 6 months after treatment (P<0. 05-0. 01). There was no statistically significant difference on the rates of abnormal liver function after treatment betweenin the treatment group (16. 67%) and the control group (13. 33%) (P>0. 05). Conclusion The curative effect of cocktail therapy is better than traditional remedies for treating patients with PDD, and it is high safety.
