Rheumatoid arthritis and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis: an unusual case

SUMMARY: Renal involvement is not uncommon in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Many RA patients have renal dysfunction either secondary to the drugs used to treat arthritis or because of the chronic inflammation. Renal pathologies have often included amyloidosis, drug-related renal disease and mesangial glomerulonephritis. However, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis has only been rarely reported. We report a case of rheumatoid arthritis associated with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis that rapidly progressed to end-stage renal disease.     

复合离子盐对高血压大鼠肾脏功能及结构的影响

目的研究复合离子盐对自发性高血压大鼠(SHR)肾脏功能及结构的影响,并探讨其可能的机制。方法38只8周龄雄性SHR随机分为4组:8%食盐摄入组(HSgroup);1%复合离子盐摄入组(CISgroup);1%复合离子盐 2·25%L-Arg摄入组(CIS L-Arggroup);1%食盐摄入组(NSgroup),持续干预12周。干预期间定期观察大鼠体重、血压、尿量、尿钠及尿蛋白的变化。12周末进行有创血压测量,放射免疫法检测肾皮质中AngⅡ、NO含量。进行肾脏组织HE及天狼猩红染色,观察病理变化并计算胶原容积分数。结果12周干预结束后,CIS组与CIS L-Arg组血压升高趋势明显低于NS组。CIS组与CIS L-Arg组尿蛋白在干预期间没有发生明显改变,且较NS组低。与NS组相比,CIS组与CIS L-Arg组SHR肾小球及肾小管周胶原沉积量少,肾脏损害较轻,肾皮质AngⅡ含量较低,NO含量较高;HS组SHR肾小球及肾小管周则胶原沉积明显增多,肾脏损害较重,肾皮质AngⅡ含量较高,而NO含量较低(allP<0·01)。结论复合离子盐与普通食盐比较,长期同等量摄入时可改变肾皮质中AngⅡ、NO含量,改善肾功能,延缓SHR血压的升高,减轻肾脏功能结构损害,L-Arg的加入可能有协同复合离子盐的作用。     

Chlamydia trachomatis among sexually active teenage girls. Lack of correlation between chlamydial infection, history of the patient and clinical signs of infection

Summary. Cultures for Chlamydia trachomatis were obtained from 1012 teenage girls attending an adolescence clinic mainly for family planning; C. trachomatis was isolated from 174 (17·2%). The proportion of chlamydia-positive girls varied between 15·7% and 28·5% depending whether or not there were symptoms and signs of infection. Neither the history nor the finding at pelvic examination offered conclusive evidence for or against the presence of an infection with C. trachomatis. Of the chlamydia-positive, untreated, asymptomatic girls, 17·5% developed symptoms of a genital infection within 3 months. There was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of positive cultures by the two investigators, suggesting that the procedure for specimen collection is of great importance.     

Friction, capacitance and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in dry atopic and normal skin

The biophysical properties of non-eczematous skin at three locations in atopics and non-atopics were characterized using non-invasive physical methods. Skin friction was measured with a newly developed sliding friction instrument, the degree of hydration with a capacitance meter (Corneometer CM 820), and the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) was determined using an Evaporimeter EP1. The areas examined (dorsum of the hand, volar forearm and lower back) showed lower values of friction and capacitance in the atopic patients than did corresponding sites in the normal controls. In most areas a significant correlation between friction and capacitance was found. The TEWL was increased in atopic skin, but TEWL seems to correlate neither to friction nor to capacitance.     

医源性桡神经损伤46例分析

目的阐述医源性桡神经损伤的伤因、治疗和预防措施。方法分析1991年～2003年间收治的46例医源性桡神经损伤的病例。结果伤因分为上肢手术误伤，肱骨干和桡骨上端闭合性骨折复位手法不当，头静脉穿刺致桡神经浅支损伤。本组21例保守治疗，22例手术治疗，3例行肌腱转位功能重建。结论手术误伤是医源性桡神经损伤的首要原因；临床医生丰富的解剖知识和细致、轻柔的操作是预防医源性桡神经损伤的关键。     

6%羟乙基淀粉130/0.4对患者硬膜外复合全麻诱导期肺循环的影响

Objective To observe the effect of pulmonary circulation by 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 during induction period from epidural block combined with general anesthesia. Methods Twenty-six hepatobiliary surgical patients with ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ, aged 32 y-59 y, weighing 54 kg-73 kg, were randomized into 2 groups(n=13): hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 group(HS)and complex acetic acid Ringer's solution (RL). Above-mentioned solutions were infused 7 ml/kg respectively before induction. The pulmonary circulation hemodynamic parameters such as pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP), pulmonary arterial diastolic pressure (PADP), mean pulmonary artery pressure(MPAP), pulmonary artery wedge pressure(PAWP), pulmonary vascular resistance(PVR) and right ventricular stroke work(RVSW) were recorded at base value(T0), 10 min after infusion(T1), 5 min after induction(T2), 5 rain after intubation(T3), 10 rain after intubation(T4)and 20 min after intubation(T5). Results PASP、PADP、MPAP、PAWP and CVP were significantly higher in group HS at T, than the values at T0 (P<0.05); PVR in group HS was obviously lower from T1 to T5 than the value at To (P<0.05 or P<0.01); RVSW was significantly higher in two groups at T1 than base value (P<0.05), but that in group HS was lower than base value (P<0.05 or P<0.01); HR obviously decreased in two groups from T2 to T5 as compared with the value at T0 (P<0.05); MAP was lower from T3 to T5 than the value at To (P<0.05 or P<0.01). PVR was obviously lower in group HS from T1 to T5 than that in group RL (P<0.05 or P<0.01); MAP obviously increased from T2 to T5 in group HS as compared with the value in group RL(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 can obviously reduce PVR during induction pe-riod from epidural block combined with general anesthesia. In all, there is no effect on pulmonary circulation by 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4.     

纤溶酶原激活剂抑制物-1及其基因多态性与急性心肌梗死的相关性研究

目的：研究纤溶酶原激活剂抑制物－1（PAI－1）活性及其等位基因多态性与急性心肌梗死（AMI）之间的关系，从基因水平揭示AMI发病的危险因素。方法：AMI组55例、对照组48例健康者分别应用特异性寡核苷酸点膜杂交技术，进行PAI－1启动子区4G／5G多态性分析，用发色底物法测定血浆PAI－1活性。结果：AMI组和对照组中4G／4G基因型的血浆PAI－1活性水平最高，与4G／5G基因型、5G／5G基因型比较有显著性差异（P＜0．01）。AMI组中4G／4G纯合子基因型频率明显高于对照组（P＜0．05）。结论：血浆PAI－1活性增高是AMI发病的危险因素之一，4G／4G纯合子基因型是AMI发病的危险基因型。     

血压变异与心率变异及心电异常相关性分析

目的：研究血压变异(BPV)与心率变异(HRV)及心电图(ECG)异常相关性，方法：对157例未经治疗的早期高血压患者及167例未服过影响血压及心率药物的正常人，进行BPV、HRV及ECG异常的相关分析，各种数据在同一时刻得到，结果：当血压昼夜节律消失(非杓型)，BPV及HRV不正常，ECG异常明显高于其他组，当高血压患者血压昼夜节律存在时HRV各项指标接近正常，ECG异常率较低，HRV降低与血压负荷升高呈明显正相关，与心电异常也呈明显正相关，结论：对高血压治疗的目的。不仅仅是降压，还应尽量恢复昼夜血压的规律性，降低夜间血压负荷，调节植物神经功能，对于血压正常的患者。血压昼夜节律消失也应投以关照给予植物神经功能调节，达到或降低靶器官损伤或延缓靶器官损害的目的，提高患者的生活质量。
