Objective:
To summarize the clinical features and genetic analysis results of 10 children with Dent disease.
Methods:
The clinical data and gene test results of 10 boys aged from 8 months to 12 years with Dent disease diagnosed in Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2014 to July 2017 were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
All patients had insidious onset, 5 cases were found to have proteinuria on routine urine examination after hospitalization duo to other diseases, 4 cases were admitted to hospital because increased foams in the urine, and 1 case was found to have proteinuria on health checkup. All cases presented with low molecular weight proteinuria, urine protein electrophoresis showed that the proportion of low molecular weight protein was greater than 50%, 7 cases had nephrotic-range proteinuria, but none had hypoproteinemia. Six cases had hypercalciuria, 3 cases had nephrocalcinosis, 1 case had nephrolithiasis, 2 cases had glomerular microscopic hematuria, in 1 case urine glucose wa weakly positive but blood glucose was normal. All patients had normal renal function, normal serum calcium, no hypophosphoremia and none had rickets. Genetic analysis results showed that 7 patients with variants in the CLCN5 gene, including 2 nonsense variants (p.R637X, p.Y143X), 3 missense variants (p.A540D, p.G135E, p.G703V), 1 deletion variant (exons 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 1 missing), and 1 frameshift variant (p.T260Tfs*10). Three cases had missense variants of OCRL gene (p.I274T, p.I371T, p.F399S). Except for p.R637X and p.I274T, the other 8 cases had newly discovered variants. Five patients underwent a renal biopsy, the biopsy revealed focal global glomerulosclerosis in 3 patients, mild mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis in 1 patient and renal minimal change in 1 patient. Mild focal tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis were noted in three cases. Mild segmental foot process effacement was noted under electron microscope in all five cases.
Conclusions
All the children with Dent disease had insidious onset, low molecular weight proteinuria is the main clinical manifestation, most cases presented with nephrotic-range proteinuria, but there was no hypoalbuminemia, some cases were not associated with hypercalciuria. The pathogenic genes in most cases were CLCN5 and a few were OCRL. The types of genetic variation include missense variant, nonsense variant, deletion variant and frameshift variant. Although Dent disease is a renal tubular disease, renal biopsy suggests that most cases are associated with glomerular lesions.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the clinical features of perianal Crohn disease (PCD).
METHODSClinical data of 52 PCD patients who were treated at the Department of Colorectal Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from June 2011 to October 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. Montreal classification, clinical symptoms, the subtype of perianal lesions, history of perianal surgery and medical treatment, disease active indexes, serum inflammation markers and nutritional indexes were included.
RESULTSAmong 52 patients, there were 40 males and 12 females with a mean age of (27.9±9.1) years. According to Montreal classification, 51.9%(27/52) of patients had ileocolic involvement and 75.0%(39/52) had inflammatory disease behavior. Thirteen (25.0%) and 15(28.8%) patients had abdominal pain and diarrhea respectively at admission. With respect to the subtype of perianal lesions, there were 32(61.5%) cases of anal fistula and 16(30.8%) cases of perianal abscess. Thirty-nine(75.0%) and 33(63.5%) patients had a history of perianal surgery and medical treatment before admission resepectively. Laboratory findings revealed high C-reaction protein level in 63.5%(33/52), high erythrocyte sedimentation rate in 61.5%(32/52), elevated platelet in 32.7%(17/52), low body weight in 44.2%(23/52), low albumin in 26.9%(14/52) and anemia in 42.3%(22/52) of patients.
CONCLUSIONSThe clinical features of PCD patients include male predominant, early onset disease, high prevalence of ileocolic involvement and inflammation disease behavior. Features prompting underlying PCD diagnosis include characteristic gastrointestinal symptoms, requiring multiple perianal surgery, and abnormality of inflammation markers and nutritional indexes.

【Objective】 To understand the current situation of blood components distribution in domestic prefecture-level blood stations through analyzing the components distribution data of 24 prefecture-level blood stations in China. 【Methods】 The data of components distribution of 24 blood stations from 2017 to 2020 as well as the data of blood deployment of 24 blood stations from 2019 to 2020 were collected and analyzed. 【Results】 From 2017 to 2020, positive annual growth in red blood cells, plasma and cryoprecipitate was observed in 22, 19 and 15 out of the 24 blood stations, and the annual growth median rate of above three components was 5.24%, 3.80% and 3.25%, respectively. Among the 24 prefecture-level blood stations, 23 carried out the preparation of cryoprecipitate. 【Conclusion】 The distribution of red blood cells, cryoprecipitate and plasma in prefecture-level blood stations is increasing year by year. However, there is a overstock of plasma, and most blood stations need blood employment.
