HBV infection might play an important role in occurrence and progress of IgAN. In addition to humoral immune damages mediated by HBAg-HBAb immune complex, renal tissues of some IgAN are directly infected with HBV and express HBAg in situ, and the cellular mechanism mediated by HBV originating from renal cells in situ may also be involved in the pathogenesis of IgAN.
To guide the administration of fat emulsion in the nutritional support of acute renal failure (ARF), pharmacokinetic analysis with an one-compartment open model after bolus intravenous injection was performed to compare the elimination kinetics of long-chain triglycerides (LCT) and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) in ischemic acute renal failure rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into four groups, namely LCT normal group, LCT ARF group, MCT normal group and MCT ARF group. The model of ischemic acute renal failure was induced by clamping the left renal artery for 60 min and contralateral nephrectomy. All the rats were fasted with water ad libitum for 10 h before 0.3 g/kg body weight of 10% Intralipid (LCT) or 10% Lipofundin (MCT: LCT = 50:50) was injected as a bolus to them via the tail vein. The serum triglyceride concentration was determined at 2, 10, 40, 70, 100, 130 and 160 min after intravenous injection for kinetic analysis. The results showed that the elimination rate constant (ke) of LCT ARF group was significantly decreased, while the half life period (t1/2) of it was significantly longer than those of LCT normal group. The ke and t1/2 of MCT showed no statistical difference between normal and ARF groups. In the normal group the ke of LCT was significantly decreased compared with MCT whereas the t1/2 was significantly prolonged. In the ARF group the ke of LCT was much less than that of MCT while the t1/2 was much longer. The serum insulin levels of both MCT groups were significantly higher than those of LCT groups. These results indicate that MCT will be eliminated more rapidly than LCT in ARF rats. MCT may also increase the secretion of insulin. In conclusion, MCT may be more favorable than LCT in the nutritional management of ARF.
Background: Renal vein thrombosis (RVT) complicating the nephrotic syndrome is associated with a poor prognosis. Methods/Results: RVT was diagnosed in 12 of 60 patients with a diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome suggested by computed tomography (CT) and subsequently confirmed by selective renal angiography. Fifty patients carried a diagnosis of primary glomerulonephritis with various pathological findings, and 10 patients had lupus nephritis. Renal vein and peripheral vein blood samples were collected in the 12 patients with RVT and were assayed for fibrin(ogen) degradation products (FDP), antithrombin III (AT III), VIIIR:AG, and fibrinogen. The results suggested a state of hypercoagulation. Of these 12 patients, 7 were given 200,000 units of urokinase (UK) over 60 minutes in divided doses selectively via the renal vein. Five patients were given 200,000 units UK selectively into the renal artery. All patients also received 2.5 mg/day warfarin and 75 mg/day persantine. Except for three patients with focal glomerulosclerosis, all patients received 40 mg/day prednisone. After 1 month, the CT scan and blood samples for FDP, AT III, VIIIR:AG, and fibrinogen were repeated. Patients receiving intra-arterial UK had complete resolution of their thrombi. Complete resolution was also suggested in 2 of the 7 patients receiving UK by renal vein, and there was partial resolution in the other five. The hyper-coagulation state decreased in all patients. Conclusions: We conclude that RVT is not an uncommon event in patients with nephrotic syndrome. The diagnosis can be supported reliably using abdominal CT scanning. Although a small number of patients were included in this nonrandomized study, it appeared that intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy yielded better results. The patients with minimal change disease have a good prognosis.
Aiming at the low efficiency of distributed new energy information collection in distribution network and the poor encryption of information transmission process, a distributed new energy information collection model based on Beidou communication is proposed. The new energy information acquisition terminal, data acquisition and transmission equipment, Beidou satellite communication module and dispatching master terminal are designed respectively to form the hardware module of the distribution network distributed new energy information acquisition model. Use Beidou communication to collect new energy information, realize the encrypted transmission of new energy information based on Beidou short message, and complete the construction of distribution network distributed new energy information collection model based on Beidou communication. The experimental results show that the bandwidth allocation effect of the Beidou benchmark station of the model is good, the Beidou communication distance is long, the data encryption can be completed in a small space by using the model, the transmission efficiency of new energy data is high, and the data integrity can be effectively guaranteed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
