OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of cyclophosphamide,leflunomide sequentially combined with prednisone in the treatment of membranous nephropathy in stage Ⅱ. METHODS:72 patients with membranous nephropathy in stageⅡwere randomly divided into group A(24 cases),B(24 cases)and C(24 cases). All patients were given angiotensin convert-ing enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) Benazepril hydrochloride tablet,warfarin,dipyridamole,calcium and other conventional treatment. Based on it,group A was orally given 50 mg Compound cyclophosphamide tablet,twice a day,for continuous 3 months+1.0 mg/(kg·d)Prednisone tablet,it was reduced 5 mg every 2 weeks after 2 months,then it reduced 2.5 mg every 2 weeks when 30 mg/day,and then it maintained 4-6 months when 10 mg/day,it lasted for 12 months. Group B was given 50 mg Leflunomide tablet,it changed as 20 mg/day after 2 d,and for continuous 6 months+Prednisone tablet(the same dosage and usage as group A). Group C was given Compound cyclophosphamide tablet(the same dosage and usage as group A)was orally given in 1-3 months,and Leflu-nomide tablet(the same dosage and usage as group B)in 4-9 months Prednisone tablet(the same dosage and usage as group A). Clinical efficacy,24 h urinary protein,albumin,total cholesterol,serum creatinine,alanine aminotransferase before and after 3, 6,9 and 12 months and incidence of adverse reactions in all groups were observed. RESULTS:Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the 24 h urinary protein,albumin,total cholesterol,serum creatinine and alanine aminotransferase among all groups(P>0.05). After treatment,24 h urinary protein,total cholesterol,serum creatinine and alanine aminotransferase in all groups were significantly lower than before,and they gradually decreased by treatment time,24 h urinary protein in group C was lower than group A and B,albumin was significantly higher than before and gradually increased by treatment time,and group C was higher than group A and B,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05 or P<0.01);but there was no significant dif-ference between group A and B(P>0.05). The total effective rate in group C was significantly higher than group A and B,the dif-ference was statistically significant (P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between group A and B (P>0.05). And there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among 3 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on the conventional treatment,the efficacy of cyclophosphamide,leflunomide sequentially combined with glucocorticoid is superior to cyclophosphamide or leflunomide alone in the treatment of membranous nephropathy in stageⅡ,with similar safety.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of clodronate SPIO liposomes on liver injury of rats with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)and the role of MRI in evaluating the extent of liver injury.Methods Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared by chemical coprecipitation.Clodronate-SPIO-containing liposomes was prepared by the thin-film method.SAP models were prepared by a uniform injection of sodium taurocholate(2 ml/kg body weight)into the subcapsular space of the pancreas.SD rats were randomly divided into control group,SAP plus SPIO group, and clodronate-SPIO-containing liposome group.Six hours after SAP models were available,T2-weighted MRI scanning(in the same plane)of the liver of rats in each group were performed.At the end of the scanning,blood samples were taken from the supcrior mesenteric vein to measure the contents of serum ALT and AST.Meanwhile, The pathological changes in the liver and pancreas were observed.Results Transmission electron microscopic examination showed that liposomes had a uniform size.No changes in the pancreas of rats in control group were noted.The pathological changes in the pancreas and liver of rats in SAP plus clodronate-SPIO-containing liposome group were significantly milder than those in SAP plus SPIO liposome group.The contents of serum ALT and AST in rats in SAP plus SPIO liposome group were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.01), while the contents of serum ALT and AST in rats in SAP plus clodronate-SPIO-containing group were significantly lower than those in SAP plus SPIO liposome group(P<0.01).The MRI signal intensity of the liver in SAP plus SPIO liposome group and SAP plus clodronate-SPIO-containing liposome group was significantly lower than that in control group.The significant changes in the MRI signal intensity of the liver in SAP plus SPIO liposome group and SAP plus Clodronate-SPIO liposome group were noted(P<0.01).Conclusion Clodronate-containing liposomes have protective effects against liver injury in SAP rats and SPIO can be used as a tracer for MRI examination.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of lipsomal clodronate against hepatic injury in rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). Methods 48 SD rats were randomly divided into control group, ANP group and lipsomal clodronate group, respectively. The models of ANP were established by injection of sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic capsule. Lipsomal clodronate was prepared by means of thin film. Blank liposomes and clodronate-containing liposomes was injected via caudal vein in ANP group and lipsomal clodronate group, respectively. The rats were sacrificed at 2, 6 h after ANP induction, the serum levels of ALT, AST and AMS, IL-6,IL-12 were measured, and pathologic changes of liver and pancreas were observed. Results At 6 h, serum level of ALT was (73 ± 11) U/L, (257 ± 33) U/L and (184 ± 29) U/L in control group, ANP group and lipsomal clodronate group, respectively;serum levels of AST were (190 ± 32)U/L, (590 ± 70)U/L and (430±52)U/L, respectively;serum levels of AMS were (814±80)U/L, (5031 ± 471) U/L and (2843 ± 236) U/L, respectively, serum levels of IL-6 were (26.7 ± 5.7) pmol/L, (218.0 ±4.7)pmol/L and (112.3 ± 8. O) pmol/L, respectively;serum levels of IL-12 were (4. 2 ± 1.0) pmol/L,(309.5 ± 8.5) pmol/L and (153.7 ± 6.3) pmol/L. The values in ANP group and lipsomal clodronate group were significantly higher than those in control group, while the values in lipsomal clodronate group were significantly lower than those in ANP group (P < 0. 01). Pathologic changes of liver and pancreas were significantly attenuated in lipsomal clodronate group. Conclusions Intravenous liposomal clodronate could exert protective effects on the hepatic injury in rats with ANP.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of lipsomal clodronate on renal injury in rats with severe acute pancreatifis and the assessment of renal injury. Method Totally 48 rats were randomly divided into three group:normal control group (C);SAP group, in which rats were treated with pure liposomal (P);treatment group, in which SAP rats were treated with liposomal clodronate disodium(T). The SAP model of rat was induced by injection of 5 % sodium taurochohte beneath the pancreatic membrane. Rats of normal control group received isovolumetric injections of 0.9% physiological saline solution instead of sodium taurocholate. Blood samples were collected to measure AMS,BUN,Cr,IL-6 and IL-12 at 2 hors, 6 hours after SAP. At the same time, the samples of pancreatic and renal tissues were taken for observing the pathological changes. Results Compared with controlgroup, serious renal and pancreatic damages were found in group P, and the AMS, BUN, Cr levels elevated signifi-candy (P < 0.01). Compared with group P,the renal and pancreatic damages were attenuated in group T, and the levels of Cr and AMS decreased significantly (P < 0.01), and the IL-6, IL-12 were decreased at 2 hours and 6 hours (P < 0.01). The BUN decreased significantly at6 hours (P < 0.05). Conciusions Excessive release of inflammatory mediator play an important role in renal injury in SAP. Lipsomal clodronate disodium can alleviate the damage of pancreas and kidney.
