Here we report the diagnosis and treatment of a rare IgG4-related kidney disease with nephrotic syndrome as the first manifestation. A 62-year-old male patient, presented with edema in both lower limbs and foam urine, had a history of "lung malignant tumor with brain and lymph node metastasis". The increase of IgG4 and decrease of glomerular filtration rate were detected at admission, and the pathological consideration of renal biopsy was membranous nephropathy with IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis. After the combination of low-dose glucocorticoids therapy and rituximab treatment, the patient showed good prognosis in a 9 month follow-up.

Objective:To explore the clinical significance of serum Chromogranin A (CGA) level in predicting the prognosis of children with severe hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) and complicating neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE).Methods:A total of 162 patients with HFMD admitted in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2019 were enrolled in the study; and 40 age-matched healthy children were selected as controls. According to the disease severity and complication the patients were divided into three groups: mild group ( n=88), severe without NPE group ( n=46) and severe with NPE group ( n=28). In 72 severe HFMD patients 16 cases died (fatal group) and 56 cases survived (survival group) within 28 days of hospitalization. The serum CGA, LAC, GLU, WBC, PCT, IL-6, cTnT were measured in all subjects. SPSS 23.0 software was used for data analysis, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the various indicators for predicting the prognosis of severe HFMD combined with NPE. Results:The serum CGA, GLU, LAC, IL-6 and cTnT levels in severe HFMD group with NPE significantly higher than those in the other three group ( H=61.554, 79.031, 86.994, 36.477, 75.021, all P<0.05 ). The serum CGA, LAC, GLU and IL-6 levels in the fatal group were significantly higher than those in survival group ( Z=-6.094, -4.621, -4.283, -5.504, all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the levels of WBC, PCT and cTnT between the survival group and the fatal group ( P>0.05). The area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) of serum CGA was 0.890 (95% CI: 0.833-0.947) for predicting the prognosis of patients and the best cut-off value was 120.59 μg/L. Conclusion:The detection of serum CGA levels may be beneficial for the early diagnosis of severe HFMD with NPE, and can be used as one of the predictors of death from severe HFMD.

Objective:To Chinesize Post-Event Processing Inventory Trait (PEPI-T) and verify the reliability and validity of its application in high school students.Methods:First, the PEPI-T was translated and pre-measured, then the wording according to the pre-measurement results was adjusted and back-translated.Then, the Chinese version of PEPI-T(PEPI-T-C) was finalized.In total, 947 adolescents aged from 15 to 19 were recruited to complete Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents, Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire, General Self-Efficacy Scale and PEPI-T-C, which were used as validity indicator.Results:Confirmatory factor analysis results showed that the PEPI-T-C still followed the three dimentions of self-judgement, frequency and intensity of the original scale and showed good model fit indices (χ 2/ df=2.59, RMSEA=0.04, CFI=0.97, TLI=0.95, SRMR=0.03). The internal consistency coefficients for PEPI-T-C was 0.78, while the three subscales was (0.44-0.75). PEPI-T-C and its subscales were significantly correlated with social anxiety and depression ( r=0.22-0.43, all P<0.01). The subscale of intensity showed significant correlation with self-efficacy( r=-0.11, P<0.01). PEPI-T-C and its subscale of self-judgement and frequency showed no significant correlations with self-efficacy( P>0.05). Conclusions:PEPI-T-C showed an acceptable reliabilities and validities in Chinese high school students, and would be used to assess their post-event rumination.Future research should examine the psychometric properties of PEPI-T-C in other Chinese adolescents’ samples.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of the screw and plate for clival fixation using a transoral expanded approaches.Methods:The transoral expanded approaches were performed on craniocervical segment specimens obtained from 7 subjects, including transoral approach (TO), transoral with soft (TOP) or hard (TOHP) palate split, mandibulotomy (MO) and mandibuloglossotomy (MLO). The distribution and thickness of soft tissue, the configuration of the vertebral arteries, the distance between the midline and the vertebral arteries, the exposed area of the clivus and cervical spine, and the range of screw angle (the angle between the line from the lower incisor or the central base of the mandible to the exposed area of the clivus and the tangent line of the clivus) were evaluated.Results:The thickness of the soft tissue on the posterior pharyngeal wall above the clival pharyngeal nodules was 3.5±0.6 mm. That on the anterior C 1-C 5 vertebrae was 5.0±0.5 mm. The distances from the bilateral vertebral arteries to the midline was 19.5±1.2 mm at C 1, 2, 14.6±2.7 mm at C 2, 3, 14.0±2.7 mm at C 3, 4, and 13.9±2.7 mm at C 4, 5. For the TO approach, the longitudinal diameter of the exposed clivus was 8.3±3.0 mm. The distance from the lower incisor to the superior margin of the exposed clivus, the lower margin of the exposed clivus, the anterior arch of C 1, the vertebral body of C 2 and C 3 were 104.7±4.3 mm, 99.2±6.8 mm, 81.4±4.3 mm, 75.1±4.0 mm and 68.7±6.5 mm, respectively. Six specimens were exposed to the C 3, while one was exposed to the C 2. For the TOP approach, the longitudinal diameter of the exposed clivus was 18.5±4.8 mm. The distance from the lower incisor to the superior margin of the exposed clivus and the pharyngeal nodules were 107.9±6.7 mm and 104.8±6.7 mm, respectively. For the TOHP approach, the longitudinal diameter of the exposed clivus was 26.3±1.8 mm (the clival length) with distance from the lower incisor to the superior margin of the clivus 112.4±12.6 mm. For the MO/MLO approach, the entire clivus was exposed. The distance from the central base of the mandible to the superior and inferior margin of the exposed clivus and the pharyngeal nodules were 141.8±15.7 mm, 131.0±9.9 mm and 120.5±8.2 mm, respectively. The inferior margin of the exposed cervical vertebra was C 5, 6. The rate of the clival screw placement through anterior occipitocervical fixation using TO, TOP, TOHP, MO and MLO was 0%, 71% (5/7), 86% (6/7), and 100%, respectively. The screw angle was 99.0°±1.8°, 92.6°±7.7°, 92.6°±7.7°, 75.1°±7.7°, and 75.1°±7.7°, respectively. Conclusion:Occipitocervical fixation with clival screw and plate could be conducted in most cases via TOP and TOHP approaches. However, in some cases with small split-mouth or mouth opening limited, smaller clival screw angle caused by basilar impression or basilar invagination, requiring fixation and reconstruction of the lower cervical spine, and the MO/MLO approaches could be still required to achieve the fixation.

Objective:To discuss the clinical treatment for arteriosclerosis obliterans combined with acute thrombosis (ASOCAT) of lower extremities.Methods:The treatment methods and results of 30 patients with ASOCAT admitted to our center from Jan 2009 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The course of acute thrombosis in 30 patients was (9.5±5.2) days, and the average course of ASO was (2.1±1.4) years. Among 30 patients, 13 patients had aortoiliac occlusion (type Ⅰ), and 17 patients had femoropopliteal lesion (type Ⅱ). Twenty-eight patients underwent endovascular treatment, 1 had hybrid operation, and 1 was given aorto-bilateral femoral bypass. One patient died perioperatively. 24 patients were followed up for (16.3±16.1) months. One died during follow-up.Two patients underwent above-knee amputation within 6 months. Two patients had distal superficial femoral artery reocclusion within 12 months. The restenosis/reocclusion rates within 12 months of type Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients were 12.5% and 21.4%, respectively. The 6/12-month amputation-free survival rates for type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ were 87.5%/87.5% and 92.8%/85.7%, respectively.Conclusion:Reasonable and active use of open surgery, endovascular treatment or hybrid operation could achieve acceptable outcomes in patients with ASOCAT.

Based on career cycle theory, this paper mainly discussed the training system of teachers in colleges and universities. Considering the teachers' teaching and scientific research development, tachers' career in colleges and universities can be divided into four stages: adapting transition stage, growth stage, stable contribution stage and regression stage. From the perspective of the above-mentioned analysis of the characteristics in different stages, well-directed training schemes should be set up. The practice results show that the teacher' training system has promoted the growth of teachers, strengthened the competitive power of teachers, and achieved good training results.

Objective: To investigate the value of abnormal expression of HLA-DR on peripheral blood monocytes in evaluating the immune function status, clinical prognosis and severity of patients with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). Methods: From June 2017 to October 2018, 100 cases of mild HFMD, 80 cases of severe HFMD, 32 cases of critical HFMD and 40 healthy children (control group) were recruited in this study. The patients were divided into two groups, lower DR group (DR-L, HLA-DR expression<30%) and normal DR group (DR-N, HLA-DR expression>30%) according to the HLA-DR expression on monocytes. Flow cytometry was used to detect the CD14⁺ monocytes expressing HLA-DR and the absolute count of lymphocyte subsets. Immunoturbidimetry was used to detect the levels of IgG, IgM and IgA in plasma samples. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect the levels of IFN-γ and IL-10 in plasma samples. Pediatric critical illness score (PCIS) and the pediatric risk of mortality Ⅲ (PRISM Ⅲ) were used to estimate the severity of HFMD. Results: ① There were significant differences in HLA-DR expression on monocytes among children with mild, severe and critical HFMD (F=47.102, P<0.05). Patients with critical HFMD had the lowest HLA-DR expression (P<0.05). ② The numbers of CD14⁺ monocytes, CD3⁺ T cells, CD4⁺ T cells, CD8⁺ T cells, B cells and NK cells in peripheral blood of the DR-L group were significantly lower than those of the DR-N group and the normal group, especially in patients with severe or critical HFMD (P<0.05). ③ There was no significant difference in the level of IgG, IgA or IgM among the DR-L, DR-N and control groups (P>0.05). ④ Compared with the DR-N group, the DR-L group showed decreased IFN-γ level and increased IL-10 level in plasma (P<0.05). The ratio of IFN-γ/IL-10 of the DR-L group was lower than that of the DR-N group and control group (P<0.05). HLA-DR expression was negatively correlated with the concentration of IL-10 in plasma (r=-0.704, P<0.05), and positively correlated with the IFN-γ/IL-10 ratio (r=0.773, P<0.05). ⑤ Compared with the DR-N group, the DR-L group showed lower PCIS and higher PRISM Ⅲ. HLA-DR expression was positively correlated with PCIS (r=0.715, P=0.00) and negatively correlated with PRISM Ⅲ (r=-0.610, P=0.00). ⑥ The incidence of pulmonary edema, pulmonary hemorrhage and cardiopulmonary failure and the mortality of HFMD patients in the DR-L group were significantly higher than those in the DR-N group (P<0.05). Conclusions Patients with severe or critical HFMD had cellular immune dysfunction and abnormal HLA-DR expression on CD14⁺ monocytes. Assessing the expression of HLA-DR on monocytes could be used to evaluate the cellular immunity of patients with severe or critical HFMD. Lower expression of HLA-DR on CD14⁺ monocytes might be associated with severe HFMD and poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the significance of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in serum and cerebrospinal fluid for evaluation of severe hand ,foot ,and mouth disease (HFMD) complicated with neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE).Methods A total of 140 patients diagnosed with HFMD in Henan Children′s Hospital were enrolled and divided into three groups including mild group ,severe HFMD group without NPE ,severe HFMD group with NPE .These severe HFMD patients were also divided into survival group and death group according to the 28-day prognosis .Meanwhile ,50 age-matched healthy children were selected as controls .Serum MMP-9 and TIMP-1 levels were measured in all enrolled children .At the same time ,MMP-9 ,TIMP-1 and ratio of MMP-9／TIMP-1 in cerebrospinal fluid were measured in the severe HFMD group with and without NPE .Quantitative data were compared using one-way analysis of variance , and means comparisons between samples were conducted using LSD-t test .Results Among 140 children with HFMD ,66 were in mild group ,42 in severe HFMD without NPE group ,and 32 in severe HFMD with NPE group .And 50 healthy children were in control group .After 28 days ,14 cases died in severe HFMD groups .MMP-9 , TIMP-1 and MMP-9／TIMP-1 in serum of severe HFMD group with NPE increased significantly greater than those in the other three groups (F＝269 .356 ,121 .301 and 101 .502 ,respectively ,all P ＜0 .05). MMP-9 ,TIMP-1 and MMP-9／TIMP-1 in cerebrospinal fluid of severe HFMD group with NPE were (57 .24 ± 8 .92) μg／L ,(35 .26 ± 8 .14) μg／L and (1 .66 ± 0 .23) μg／L ,respectively ,while those in cerebrospinal fluid of severe HFMD group without NPE were (30 .57 ± 3 .89) μg／L ,(26 .25 ± 0 .32) μg／L and (1 .17 ± 0 .61) μg／L ,respectively .The differences between the two groups were all statistically significant (t＝62 .485 ,37 .680 and 169 .387 ,respectively ,all P＜0 .01).MMP-9 ,TIMP-1 and MMP-9／TIMP-1 in serum and cerebrospinal fluid of death group increased significantly greater than those in survival group ,the difference were statistically significant (all P＜0 .01).The maximum area under curve (AUC) was reached when the MMP9／TIMP-1 ratio in cerebrospinal fluid was 0 .890 (95% CI :0 .801 －0 .978).Conclusions MMP-9 and TIMP-1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of HFMD complicated with NPE .The detection of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 levels may be beneficial for the early diagnosis of severe HFMD with NPE .The imbalance of MMP-9／TIMP-1 ratio can be used as one of the predictors of severe HFMD combined with NPE.
