Objective:To compare the difference of serum levels of M-phospholipaseA2 receptor ( PLA2R) antibodies in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy(IMN) detected by two different methods and evaluate the diagnostic value of two methods. Methods:Patients diagnosed as membranous nephropathy and other diseases with biopsy-proven from december 2014 to october 2015 in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were enrolled and devided into IMN group and non-IMN group. The serum levels of anti-PLA2R antibody were detected by both indirect immunofluorescence assay(IFA) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Results:The sensitivity of IFA and ELISA in IMN were 71. 3% and 68. 5%,and the specificities of two methods were the same as 100%. The area under ROC curves of anti-PLA2R antibody for IMN diagnosis were 0. 860 and 0. 839. The diagnostic value of IFA and ELISA was no statistically significant differences in IMN ( P>0. 05 ) , and the consistency of two methods was better (κ=0. 876). The IMN patients of positive anti-PLA2R antibody be susceptible to the low level of serum albumin (P<0. 05). The higher levels of PLA2R antibody were linked with the worse hypoproteinemia and the higher rate of nephrotic-range proteinuria in IMN patients. Conclusion:Two methods of detecting sera PLA2R antibody have higher sensitivity and specificity,so the sera anti-PLA2R antibody was a better biomarker in the diagnosis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy.

Objective To explore the imaging typing of skull eosinophilic granuloma( SEG) in children,and the clinical significance of this typing system was determined. Methods The clinical and radiological data of 32 cases of SEG confirmed by pathology in the past six years were retrospectively reviewed. According to the imaging findings,which included the size and shape of the granuloma,and the degree of skull destruction,SEGs were divided into four types:typeⅠ( subtle granumoma) ,typeⅡ( exteriorly convex granuloma) ,typeⅢ( biconvex granuloma) and typeⅣ(multiple granulomas and destructions). The imaging features of different types of SEG were analyzed,and the signif-icance of imaging typing was explored combining with the clinical manifestations,treatment programs and prognosis. Results Three cases (9. 4%) were included in typeⅠ,in which,the granuloma was not obvious and the skull destruction was confined in the diploe and outer plate. In type Ⅱ (21 cases,65. 6%),the imaging features included an obvious exteriorly convex mass and complete skull destruction of in-side and outside panels. Granuloma remove and destructed skull repair were performed in all cases,in which 15 were followed up and no re-currence was found. The imaging features of type Ⅲ (5 cases,15. 6%) were biconvex mass which broke through the inner plate and op-pressed the dura and cerebral parenchyma. Therapy program included not only surgical excision of the lesion but also repair of skull and dura. Three cases were followed up and no recurrence was found. Type Ⅳ (3 cases,9. 4%) showed multiple skull destructions and granulomas of various sizes. Chemotherapy and surgery treatment,poor prognosis and ease recurrence were characterized by this type. Conclusion we put forward a imaging typing method for SEGs. This typing system is helpful in guiding clinical protocols and prognosis of SEGs in children.

ObjectiveTo investigate the cause,diagnosis and treatment measures of neonatal pneumothorax.MethodsThe clinical data of 98 cases with neonatal pneumothorax in our hospital from Mar 2005 to Mar 2010 were reviewed retrospectively.ResultsThere were 27 premature neonates and 71 full-term neonates in the 98 cases.Ten cases were spontaneous pneumothorax and 88 cases were non spontaneous pneumothorax.After the treatnent of primary disease,pleural aspiration,chest drainage and mechanical ventilation,88 cases were cured,8 cases were improved and 2 cases died.ConclusionNeonatal pneumothorax is related with cesarean section,improper use of endotracheal intubation,meconium aspiration,premature hyaline membrane disease using pulmonary surfactant and ventilator therapy.Most pneumothorax is due to lung disease.The prevention of preterm birth and asphyxia can reduce the incidence of neonatal pneumothorax.

Objective:To observe the clinical effects of Zuoyu üo. 1(ZY1)in the prevention of concomitant concurrent complica-tions after operation for anorectal diseases. Methods:164 patients who had received operation for anorectal diseases were randomly di-vided into 2 groups. Patients in the treatment group were treated with sitz baths in ZY1 and the conventional wound dressing method. Patients in the control group were treated with sitz baths in warm water and the conventional wound dressing method. Results:The effi-ciency rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group(53. 57% vs. 27. 5%,P<0. 05),as well as the total effectiveness(95. 23% vs. 88. 75%,P<0. 05). The comparison showed that better curative effects existed in the treatment group on distress,bleeding,and edema ratings and wound healing time. Conclusion:Sitz bath in ZY1 after operation for anorectal dis-eases reduces complications and shortens the wound healing time without any side effect. It is thus extensively promising in clinical ap-plications.

Objective To investigate the concentrations of serum N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pm BNP) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) of acute exacerbation of chronic obstrnctive pulmonary disease(AECOPD) patients treated by bi-level positive airway pressure(BiPAP) for with respiratory failure.Methods A total of 100 respiratory failure in patients with AECOPD were divided into study group and control group,and 50 cases of each group.Patients in study group were received the conventional treatment(anti infection,diastolic bronchial,cough and phlegm and oxygen therapy) combined with BiPAP therapy,while in control group were received the conventional treatment.Blood samples were drawn at beginning and 3 d later.Serum hs-CRP and NT-pro BNP levels were determined,and the expenses and duration of hospitalization of two groups were compared.Result After treatment,the level of serum NT-pro BNP in study group and control group were (105.79 ± 4.56) ng/L and (113.33 ± 3.26) ng/L,and the difference was statistically signifi cant (t =3.03,P ＜ 0.05).The serum hs-CRP levels were (10.83 ± 16.35) mg/L and (26.39 ± 26.87) mg/L in study and control group,and the differences were statistically significant (t =-3.44,P ＜ 0.05).The expenses and duration of hospitalization in study group were both less than those in control group((11.15 ± 1.86) d vs.(12.78±2.25) d;(6 659.11 ±1 609.49) yuan vs.(8 031.31 ±1 449.79) yuan;t=-3.87,-4.38;P ＜0.05).Conclusion Early BiPAP therapy in AECOPD patients with respiratory failure in patients is showed that NT-pro BNP and hs-CRP levels faster decrease and disease is recovery remission,which suggests that NTpro BNP or BNP for AECOPD patients and respiratory failure condition monitoring,clinical efficacy have some clinical value.

OBJECTIVETo explore the rhythm regulatory mechanism of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the process of moxibustion for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

METHODSA total of 144 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a moxibustion group, a sham operation group, an operation group, an operation+moxibustion group, 24 rats in each one. Each group was divided into 4 time points (0:00 am, 6:00' am, 12:00 am, 6:00 pm), 6 rats in each time point. The Light-Dark 12 : 12 was given in all rats for light-dark cycle. Except the blank group, rats in the remaining groups were treated with intracutaneous injection of freund's complete adjuvant at right-side foot to establish the model of RA. After the model establishment, bilateral adrenal, glands were removed in the operation group and operation + moxibustion group, while those in the sham operation group were not removed with identical operation procedure. Rats in the moxibustion group and operation + moxibustion group were treated with grain-sized moxibustion from 7:00 am to 9:00 am at "Shenshu" (BL 23) and "Zusanli" (ST 36) once everyday, 6 times were taken as one session and 3 sessions were required tatclly, while rats in the remaining groups received identical fixation without moxibustion. The general health state and foot volume of rats were measured before model establishment, after establishment and after treatment. After treatment, rats were sacrificed at each time point to collect the blood sample and measure the content of IL-6 by using enzymne-immunoassay method.

RESULTSCompared with the blank group, the foot swelling in the model group was obviously increased (P<0. 05); the IL-6 maintained circadian rhythm (P<0. 05), but the peak phase had a backward trend, famplitude had an increased trend and the median was significantly lifted (P<0. 05). Compared with model group, !the foot swelling in the moxibustion group was obviously decreased (P<0. 05); the IL-6 maintained circadian. rhythm (P<0. 05), and the peak phase had a forward trend, amplitude had a decreased trend and the median was significantly reduced (P<0. 05). Compared with the moxibustion group, the foot swelling in the operation--moxibustion group was obviously increased (P < 0.05); the IL-6 maintained circadian rhythm (P < 0.5), but the peak phase moved forwrd, and the median was significantly elevated (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe IL-6 in plasma maintains significant pathological circadian rhythm in RA rats; with the complete hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, moxibustion is likely to regulate the circadian rhythm of IL-6 to play an important role of anti-inflammatory effect in RA rats.
