Clinical analysis of peritoneal dialysis in the treatment of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis

Objective To observe the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) caused by lupus nephritis, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, or primary glomerulonephritis who were treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) and then withdrew PD because of renal recovery. Methods Data of the above patients were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were diagnosed as RPGN and received PD therapy in Kidney Disease Center, the First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University from February 2009 to August 2018. The patients were divided into early withdrawal group (PD time≤183 days, n=24) and late withdrawal group (PD time＞183 day, n=24). The differences of clinical characteristics between the two groups were compared. The cumulative incidence of adverse events in both groups was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves. Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the risk factors influencing the prognosis of patients. Results Forty-eight RPGN patients were included. The median time of maintaining PD was 178(76, 378) days. Compared with the late withdrawal group, the patients in early withdrawal group had lower levels of urine volume, serum albumin and parathyroid hormone, and lower rates of gross hematuria and hypertension at the beginning of PD, and received higher rates of methylprednisolone impulse, combined immunosuppressive agents, and hemodialysis or continuous renal replacement therapy (all P＜0.05). At the time of PD withdrawal, the levels of serum creatinine, serum calcium, serum albumin and parathyroid hormone in the early withdrawal group were significantly lower than those in the late withdrawal group (all P＜0.05). The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that there was no significant difference in the cumulative survival of patients in both groups (log-rank test χ2=3.485, P=0.062). Cox regression analysis revealed serum creatinine≥209 μmol/L at the time of PD withdrawal was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis (HR=5.253，95%CI 1.757-15.702, P=0.003). Conclusions PD can be used for RPGN patients caused by lupus nephritis, ANCA-associated vasculitis and primary nephritis. Serum creatinine≥209 μmol/L at the time of PD withdrawal is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis.     

Patient Selection for Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Patients With Colorectal Cancer: Consensus on Decision Making Among International Experts

BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) treatment for patients with peritoneal metastases is complex. The use of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has continued to be debated. The aim of the present study was to assess the consensus among international experts for decision-making regarding the use of CRS and HIPEC for patients with CRC.Materials and MethodsOf 15 experts invited, 12 had provided their decision algorithms for CRS and HIPEC for patients with, or at high risk of, peritoneal metastases from CRC. Using the objective consensus method, the results were transformed into decision trees to provide information on the consensus and discordance.ResultsOnly 1 scenario was found for which the consensus on performing HIPEC had reached 100%. The scenario was the treatment of young patients with complete cytoreduction and a peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) of < 16 in the presence of certain risk factors. Five major decision criteria were identified: age, PCI, completeness of cytoreduction, extent of extraperitoneal metastases (EoMs), and, in the case of unverified EoMs, additional risk factors. Consensus was found regarding refraining from using HIPEC for older patients with a high PCI. The consensus further increased when addressing incomplete cytoreduction and an extensive extent of EoMs.ConclusionA definite consensus concerning the use of HIPEC was only determined for very selected scenarios. These findings can be used for general guidance; however, owing to the heterogeneity of each individual situation, the impracticality of presenting the information through decision trees, and the unclear future of the role of HIPEC in the adjuvant setting, a one-on-one transfer to daily clinical practice could not be achieved.     

CA153联合CA199对良恶性腹腔积液的鉴别诊断价值

目的探讨腹腔积液中CA153联合CA199对良恶性腹腔积液的鉴别诊断价值。方法选择98例腹腔积液患者,经手术病理诊断为恶性腹腔积液者为观察组(48例),良性腹腔积液者为对照组(50例)。检测并比较2组患者腹腔积液中的CA153、CA199水平及CA153、CA199的阳性结果,分析CA153及CA155单用及联合应用对恶性腹腔积液的诊断效能。结果观察组腹腔积液中的CA153及CA199水平均明显高于对照组,P <0. 05。观察组CA153及CA199阳性率明显高于对照组,P <0. 05。CA153、CA199对恶性腹腔积液诊断的敏感性、特异性及准确性对比,差异无统计学意义(P> 0. 05);CA153+CA199的敏感性、特异性及准确性明显高于单项CA153及CA199(P <0. 05)。结论 CA153与CA199单项检测对恶性腹腔积液的诊断价值有限,CA153+CA199对恶性腹腔积液的诊断价值较高,值得临床推广应用。     

直肠癌切除前后腹腔冲洗液脱落细胞学对比研究

目的研究直肠癌术中腹腔多次冲洗，对于降低患者腹腔内脱落癌细胞阳性率的临床意义。方法对63例直肠癌患者术中腹腔冲洗分6次进行，肿瘤切除前3次，切除后3次；将6次腹腔冲洗液行常规病理学涂片细胞学检查结果进行对比。结果肿瘤切除前，全组患者腹腔冲洗液脱落癌细胞均呈阳性表达。肿瘤切除后第1次腹腔冲洗液脱落癌细胞阳性40例，第2次阳性33例，第3次阳性13例。肿瘤切除后第1次冲洗液的脱落癌细胞阳性结果与切除后第2次冲洗液阳性结果比较，P〉0.05，差异无统计学意义；但第3次冲洗液的脱落癌细胞阳性结果与第2次比较，P〈0.01，差异有统计学意义。结论对直肠癌患者进行术中多次腹腔冲洗可降低腹腔内脱落癌细胞的阳性率。     

腹膜透析对尿毒症患者肺功能的影响

目的　了解尿毒症患者腹膜透析治疗前后的肺功能变化。方法　分别测定 5 0例尿毒症患者及2 0例正常人的用力肺活量 (FVC)、最大通气量 (MBC)、1秒钟用力呼气容积 (FEV1 )、最大呼气流量 (PEF)、最大呼气中段流量 (MMEF)、2 5 %肺活量最大呼气流量 (·V2 5)和肺一氧化碳弥散量 (DL co)等参数 ,其中 30例尿毒症患者在透析治疗 2月后进行了上述参数的复查。结果　尿毒症患者的肺通气量和气道功能指标 FVC、MBC、FEV1 、PEF、MMEF、·V2 5以及肺弥散功能指标 DL co均明显低于正常人 ;透析治疗后 ,尿毒症患者的气道功能指标 FEV1 、PEF、MMEF和 ·V2 5明显改善 (P<0 .0 5 ) ,但肺通气量指标 FVC、 MBC和肺弥散功能指标 DL co无明显改善 (P>0 .0 5 )。结论　尿毒症患者存在肺通气功能及弥散功能的降低 ,伴气道阻塞 ;透析治疗能显著改善气道阻塞 ,但对肺弥散功能及肺通气量无明显改善 ,此现象往往反映患者已有继发性肺纤维化的存在     

MRI evaluation of bulky tumor masses in the mesentery and bladder involvement in peritoneal carcinomatosis

AIM: Peritonectomy procedures with intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia are an effective but costly treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Consequently a proper selection of patients is necessary. We evaluated the benefit of MRI prior to surgery, in the detection of two of the main surgery contraindications: bulky mesenteric tumors and bladder implants. METHODS: Three experts retrospectively reviewed abdominal and pelvic MRI from 19 cases of surgically proved PC (ovary: 7; colorectal: 7; gastric: 2; pseudomyxoma peritonei: 2; appendix: 1). RESULTS: Mesenteric tumors were always identified as hypersignal masses on axial and coronal fat suppression gadolinium-enhanced T1 images (n=3). Three out of five bladder implants were detected. The two cases of bladder implants that were not detected on MRI were missed because the bladder was not filled. The best sequence for the detection of bladder involvement was axial T2-weighted images with bladder filling. CONCLUSIONS: Evaluating the preoperative resectability of PC is crucial for patient management. MRI seems to reliably detect bulky mesenteric tumors and bladder implants on condition the bladder is filled and appropriate sequences are used.     

胃癌腹腔冲洗液多巴脱羧酶mRNA的检测

目的：通过检测胃癌腹腔冲洗液中DDCmRNA的表达，探讨多巴胶羟酶（DDC）与胃癌腹膜转移的关系，并为胃癌腹膜转移预测和亚临床转移的筛检提供新的方法．方法：用RNA提取和RT-PCR方法检测92例胃癌腹腔冲洗液中DDCmRNA的表达，同时做腹腔冲洗细胞学（PLC）检查；10例良性疾病的腹腔冲洗液作为阴性对照，结果：92例胃癌腹腔冲洗液中有57例检测到DDCmRNA的表达（62．0％），其表达阳性率与胃癌腹膜转移的PS因素密切相关（P〈0．05）；且胃癌腹腔冲洗液中DDCmRNA的表达水平还与胃癌浸润深度、浆膜类型、PLC检查结果以及是否存在肉眼腹膜转移有关，浸润深度深、浆膜受侵程度重、PLC检查结果阳性及存在肉眼腹膜转移病灶者的DDCmRNA表达相对值明显升高（P〈0．05）；而10例良性疾病腹腔冲洗液均未检测到DDCmRNA的表达．结论：胃癌腹腔液中DDCmRNA的表达与胃癌腹膜转移密切相关，通过RT—PCR来检测DDCmRNA适用于胃癌腹膜转移的预测和亚临床转移的筛检。     

女性腹膜原发癌临床病理分析

目的：分析12例女性腹膜原发癌(FPCP)(10例浆液癌、1例黏液癌、1例子宫内膜样癌)的临床病理及免疫组化特征，以引起临床医师重视。方法：复习我院1992至2002年间12例FPCP患者临床资料及病理切片，收集随访资料，记录大体标本所见，调出全部蜡块重新切片，并行PAS染色及细胞角蛋白(CK)7、CK20、ER、PR、牛血清清蛋白100(S-100)、卵巢癌抗原(CA)125、癌胚抗原(CEA)、CD15免疫组化染色。结果：12例患者年龄在32—67(平均48.75)岁，10／11例患者血CA125明显增高。组化及免疫组化染色示阳性者：PAS为7／11，CK7为10／11，CK20为10／11，CD15为11／11，S-100为8／11，CA125为6／11，CEA为6／11，ER为4／11，PR为2／11。黏液性腹膜癌预后极差，其余类型与卵巢原发性上皮癌相似。结论：女性FPCP被认为起源于中肾旁管(Muller管)，组织学上与同类型的卵巢癌一致，在排除卵巢原发癌的基础上可作出诊断，免疫组化有助于区分女性FPCP、腹膜间皮瘤和卵巢原发癌。本病预后差。
