【Objective】 To explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors of renal function deterioration in children with renal dysplasia and chronic kidney disease (CKD), so as to provide a basis for the diagnosis, treatment, and management. 【Methods】 The clinical data of children with renal dysplasia complicated with CKD treated in the Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University during 2012 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including the gender, age of diagnosis, growth index, concomitant malformation and complications. According to the diagnostic criteria and staging standard of KDIGO2020 guidelines, patients with disease deteriorated to CKD stage 4-5 were enrolled into the regression group. Factors affecting the deterioration of renal function were determined with Cox regression analysis. 【Results】 A total of 122 children were involved, including 66 (54.1%) with CKD stag 4-5. There were more boys than girls. Bilateral and unilateral renal dysplasia occurred in 88 (72.13%) and 34 (27.87%) cases, respectively, and 64 (52.46%) cases were complicated with other urinary diseases. There were significant differences in weight, height and body mass index (BMI) among patients with CKD stage 1-5 (P<0.01). The age of onset of CKD <10 years, BMI lower than the 3rd percentile of the same sex and age, bilateral renal dysplasia, and one or more complications of congenital renal and urinary tract abnormalities (CAKUT) were the risk factors of deterioration of renal function (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Renal dysplasia complicated with CKD are more common in boys, with high incidence of bilateral renal dysplasia. Bilateral renal dysplasia, age of onset of CKD <10 years, BMI lower than 3% and complications are important influencing factors of renal dysplasia in children with CKD.

In case of ischemic stroke(IS),thrombus in the vascular system can cause ischemia and hypoxia in brain tissue,produce inflammatory cytokines and cause brain tissue damage,while reactive oxygen species during ischemia-reperfusion cause stress injury.Conventional drug administra-tion is limited by the selective permeability of the blood-brain barrier and the low bioavailability of the drug itself,and its therapeutic effect against IS is unsatisfactory.Nanomedicine is expected to bring hope in that it has a unique mechanism of action and can cross the blood-brain barrier to reach the periphery of the infarct,release drugs or therapeutic genes,and exert a therapeutic effect.Nanomedi-cine inhibits platelet aggregation,enhances the efficacy of thrombolytic drugs,dissolves thrombus,increases blood supply to ischemic areas,eliminates reactive oxygen species and weakens injury response by fighting inflammatory cytokines.Loaded therapeutic genes regulate the differentiation pro-cess of neural stem cells,increase the number of neurons,induce the occurrence of blood vessels,and enhance the repair function of brain tissue.Nanomedicines can not only improve pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics to achieve more effective drug treatment,but also use nanoimaging technology to achieve real-time monitoring and condition assessment of therapy.
