A 65-year-old woman presented with intermittent right hand numbness and elevated serum creatinine for more than 2 months. The histological examination of kidney biopsy showed renal arterioles occlusion and interstitial fibrosis. Pathological abnormality was originally considered as a part of systemic atherosclerosis. Thus, rosuvastatin 20 mg/d, fosinopril 10 mg/d, metoprolol 47.5 mg/d and aspirin 0.1g/d were administrated. No improvement of renal function was seen. Further Congo red staining was applied. Diffuse amorphous eosinophilic substance was deposited in interlobular artery and small arteriolar artery. Combined with the abnormal free light chain (FLC) level and ratio (serum κ 340 mg/L, κ/λ 10.932), the diagnosis of systematic light-chain amyloidosis was confirmed. The patient received 3 courses of chemotherapy regimen as BCD (bortezomib 2 mg d1, 8, 15, 22, cyclophosphamide 0.3 g d1, 8, 15, 22 and dexamethasone 40 mg d1, 8, 15, 22). A hematologic partial response was achieved and serum creatinine decreased to 180 μmol/L.

Objective To explore the characteristics of ischemia-reperfusion induced infant lung damage and the potential mechanisms of the injuried.Methods Both infant (15-21 days old) and adult (5-6 months old) rabbits were subjected to either ischemia-reperfusion or sham operation.Ischemia-reperfusion was induced by clamping the right pulmonary hilum for 1 hour and then removal of the clamp for 4 hours under anesthesia.The lung tissue were sampled for histological examination by light and electron microcopies and for biological evaluation of mitochondrial alterations.Production and expression of free radical species-hydroxyl radical (ROS-HR),malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide dismutase (SOD),glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX),myeloid differentiation factor-88 (MyD-88),and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in the lung tissue were also examined.In addition,circulating levels of interleukin-β and tumor necrosis factor-α were measured during the ischemia-reperfusion process.Results In comparison to adult lungs,the infant lungs had more increased neutrophil infiltration,edema,swelled alveolar epithelial and endothelial cells,and severer mitochondrial impairment reflected by damage of the inner membrane as well as decrease in the membrane potential after ischemia-reperfusion.The lungs in infant animals subjected to sham operation displayed higher levels of ROS-HR and MDA and lower levels of SOD and GSH-PX than those in adult controls.The lungs in infants with ischemia-reperfusion were found to further produce more ROS-HR,and MDA,and less SOD and GSH-PX than the ischemia-reperfused adult lungs.Moreover,the circulating levels of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α were elevated during the period of ischemia-reperfusion,particularly in the infant animals,which appeared to be associated with the expression of MyD-88 and NF-κB in the lungs.Conclusion Lung ischemia-reperfusion causes more severe lung damage in infants than in adults,probably due to combination of low antioxidant capacity and overproduction of ROS in infants.
