Objective To explore the reasons of gynecological infections acute abdomen misdiagnosed as acute suppurative appendicitis and put forward methods to reduce the misdiagnosis.Methods To review and analyze the clinical data of 12 patients with gynecological infectious who had been misdiagnosed as acute suppurative appendicitis.Results The acute pyogenic pelvic inflammatory disease in 6 cases,right salpingitis and empyema in 3 cases,ovarian cysts in 3 cases.Conclusion The lack of clinical experience and examination,omissions and misleading relevant gynecological history,over-reliance on secondary inspections,and lack of consultation are the main reasons of gynecological infectious diseases misdiagnosis.

Objective To investigate the target antigens and their clinical association with antineutrophil autoantibodies in patients with lupus nephritis (LN).Methods Sera were collected from 92 renal biopsy proven LN patients.Normal neutrophils and white cells from patients with chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL) were used as antigens in Western blot analysis to detect autoantibodies in the LN sera.Results ①Using neutrophils as antigens,two bands could be blotted:64 000 (33/92,35 9%)and 50 000 (13/92,14 1%).The prevalence of anti 64 000 autoantibody in patients with positive rheumatic factor was significantly higher than that in patients without (54 5% vs 18 8%, P

Objective To elucidate the features of clinicopathology and mutation in Fabry disease complicated with thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN), and to investigate the kindred. Methods Data of clinicopathology and gene mutation of a female patient of Fabry disease complicated with TBMN admitted to the Department of Nephro]ogy in our hospital were analyzed. Members of her kindred were investigated simultaneously. Results Proband was a 41-year-old Chinese woman who presented syndrome of Fabry disease and TBMN including angiokeratomas, chronic pain, tinnitus, vertigo, left ventricular hypertrophy and nephropathy as proteinuria, microscopic hematuria and hypertension. A percutaneous renal biopsy was performed on the proband, which was consistent with FSGS and vaculization of podocytes by light microscopy.Electron microscopy showed concentric lamellated inclusions in some podocytes. Diffuse thinning of glomerular basement membrane (GBM) with a mean thickness of (216±31) nm was found. The diagnosis of TBMN with suspected Fabry disease was identified. Family screening showed that her daughter had microscopic hematuria, tinnitus and neuropathic pain. One of her sisters only had microscopic hematuria. The activity of α-galacsidase A (α-Gal A )enzyme in the proband and her daughter was 33 units and 75 units respectively (the normal range is 100 to 500 units). They all carried the novel GLA mutation 1208 ins 21 bp and COL4A3 SNP c: 3627G＞A(p:M1209I). While her sister who only had microscopic hematuria just carried the variant of COL4A3 gene-c:3627G ＞A (p:M1209I), and had the normal activity of α-Gal A with no mutation of GLA.Conclusion TBMN should be considered in the patients of Fabry disease with the condition of benign familial hematuria.

The Tibet Autonomous Region (hereinafter referred to as Tibet) is located on the border of the country, with a harsh natural environment and an average elevation of over 4 000 meters. Currently, the total permanent population of the region is about 3.65 million, distributed over 1.2 million square kilometers of land. The land is vast and sparsely populated, making it extremely difficult to allocate medical resources. The above objective reasons make it difficult for patients in Tibet to seek medical treatment in a timely manner, and there are multiple complications when seeking medical treatment. In terms of inguinal hernia disease, the proportion of patients with inguinal incarcerated hernia is relatively high. Due to poor medical conditions, patients have poor awareness of seeking medical treatment, and lack of understanding of the disease, leading to serious complications and even death caused by inguinal incarcerated hernia. With the releasing of clinical guidelines, advances in equipment and materials, and updates in treatment concepts and anatomical understanding, laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has been vigorously promoted. The promotion of new medical technologies in Tibet is relatively lagging behind. In recent years, with the strong support of the China Hernia Society and the Chinese Hernia Collegen of Surgeons, minimally invasive treatment related to hernia disease has been promoted in Lhasa since 2016, especially for inguinal hernia. At present, minimally invasive technology for treating inguinal hernia has been widely promoted to tertiary hospitals in Tibet. Through publicity, patients can seek medical attention in a timely manner, significantly reducing the incidence of inguinal incarcerated hernia. Based on litera-tures and clinical practice, the authors explore the promotion, application, and historical significance of minimally invasive surgery for hernia in Tibet.
