The objective was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of telitacicept in the treatment of pediatric IgA vasculitis nephritis (IgAVN). A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from patients aged 3–18 years with IgAVN treated with telitacicept at the Department of Pediatrics, The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine, between August 2023 and August 2024. Laboratory parameters were assessed at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months posttreatment to determine therapeutic efficacy and safety. A total of 16 patients were enrolled (7 males [43.75
RATIONALE:Lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) is a rare genetic kidney disorder. Here, we report a boy and his mother with LPG. PATIENT CONCERNS:A 6-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with a history of 6 months of experiencing foamy urine without apparent cause. DIAGNOSES:Urinalysis revealed 3+ protein and 2+ occult blood. A 24-hour urinary protein quantification measured 1110 mg. Other laboratory tests revealed that the level of serum albumin was 43.6 g/L, triglycerides 4.31 mmol/L were elevated, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol 0.71 mmol/L were reduced, whereas total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were normal. Renal biopsy revealed glomerular capillary loop expansion with lipoprotein thrombi on light microscopy, variable-sized vacuoles within the capillary loops on electron microscopy, positive Oil Red O staining, and positive immunofluorescence staining for ApoE. The mother of the patient had a history of uremia 5 years ago. Genetic testing confirmed a deletion of 9 nucleotides (CAAGCTGCG) in exon 4 of the ApoE gene at positions c.480-488 of the boy and his mother, resulting in a deletion of 3 amino acids (Lys143-Arg145del) in the ApoE amino acid sequence at positions 143-145, which was same variant as ApoE Tokyo/Maebashi. INTERVENTIONS:The boy showed significant improvement after treatment with fenofibrate and telmisartan, with urine protein turning negative after 1 week and blood lipid levels returning to normal after 4 weeks. OUTCOMES:During 1 year follow-up period, the results of urine routine examination and blood lipid profile remained within normal ranges. LESSONS:LPG is a rare and easily misdiagnosed kidney disease with no clinical characteristics. Early diagnosis by kidney biopsy and whole gene test is conducive to early detection and diagnosis, reducing missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis, and improving the long-term prognosis of patients.

Objective: Investigating the clinical and imaging characteristics of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) with renal disease among children and improving pediatrician awareness of PRES. Methods: The clinical presentation, imaging data, treatment, and prognosis of six children diagnosed with kidney disease with PRES at The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between October 2016 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literature was reviewed. Results: Of six children (five boys and one girl) aged from 7 to 14 years, three had Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN), two had nephrotic syndrome (NS), and one had lupus nephritis (LN). All children had a history of hormone and immunosuppressant therapy. Clinical manifestations of the six children all had convulsions and consciousness disorder. Five had moderate to severe hypertension, two had dizziness and headaches, two had nausea and vomiting, and one had visual disturbances. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of all six patients was characterized by reversible white matter abnormalities, primarily symmetrical. After controlling convulsions, decreasing cranial pressure, and actively controlling the primary disease, all children made a full recovery to their premorbid state. Conclusions: The main clinical manifestations of PRES include convulsions, consciousness disorder, headache, and visual disturbances. Cranial MRI is an important adjunctive test for the diagnosis of PRES. Children with renal disease treated with hormones and immunosuppressants commonly suffer from PRES. With early diagnosis and aggressive treatment, there is a good prognosis for children with PRES.
过敏性紫癜(henoch-schonlein purpura,HSP)是儿童时期常见的以IgA介导的全身性微血管变态反应性疾病. 高敏等[1]报道 14809 例HSP患儿发病率男:女=1.28:1,以学龄期儿童为主,冬季发病率最高,8 月份最低.
Objective: To use 16SrRNA and metagenomic sequencing methods to compare the composition of oral microbiota between children with allergic purpura(henoch-sch9nlein purpura, HSP) and healthy children, as well as HSP children treated with Yinqiao Powder, and to explore the possible mechanism of Yinqiao Powder in treatment of of Wind-Heat injured collateral HSP.Methods: A total of 20 children with newly diagnosed HSP were included.The saliva samples were collected from 7■00 to 8■00 in the morning as the pre-treatment group.After Yinqiao Powder treatment for 2 weeks, the saliva was collected again at the same time as the post-treatment group.20 cases were recruited at the same time.Healthy children served as a healthy control group.The Illumina NovaSeq sequencing platform was used to perform high-throughput sequencing of 16SrRNA in each group of saliva microorganisms.Through α-diversity and β-diversity analysis, the differences in the species composition and community structure of each group of flora were compared, and the differential flora was screened out; metagenomics was used for comparison Functional gene differences between children with HSP and healthy children.Results: Compared with the healthy control group, the richness and diversity of the salivary flora in the HSP treatment group decreased, but there was no significant difference(P>0.05);compared with the pre-treatment group, the salivary flora in the Yinqiao Powder treatment group Richness and diversity increased significantly(P<0.05).Compared with the healthy control group, there was no significant difference in the oral flora structure of the pre-treatment group(P>0.05);compared with the pre-treatment group, the oral flora structure of the post-treatment group was significantly different(P<0.01).Using the linear discriminant analysis(LDA) effect size(LEfSe) and the MetaStat method, it was shown that at the phylum level, compared with the healthy control group, the Bacteroidota in the pre-treatment group was significantly increased; compared with the pre-treatment group, the post-treatment group Bacteroidota lowered.Compared with the healthy control group, the Actinobacteriota in the pre-treatment group decreased, and compared with the pre-treatment group, the Actinobacteriota in the post-treatment group increased significantly.At the genus level, compared with the healthy control group, the genera of Porphyromonas, Capnocytophaga and Granulicatella in the group before treatment were significantly higher than those in the group after treatment.Before treatment group; compared with the healthy control group, the Veillonella genus(Veilonela) decreased in the pre-treatment group, and was significantly higher in the post-treatment group than in the pre-treatment group.There are obvious functional gene differences between children with HSP and healthy children.The functions of the oral bacterial community in children with HSP are mainly concentrated in: signal transduction, exogenous biodegradation and metabolism, metabolism of three major nutrients, antibiotic resistance, etc.,while healthy children The oral flora maintains the ecological balance with the host, and its main function is reflected in the establishment of environmental adaptive immunity and autoimmunity.Conclusion: The oral microecology of children with Wind-Heat injured type HSP has changed, and the richness and diversity of saliva flora decreased.There are obvious functional gene differences between children with HSP and healthy children.Yinqiao Powder may improve the oral microecology by changing the abundance of Porphyromonas, Veilonela, Capnocytophaga, Granulicatella and related metabolic pathways, and then achieve the therapeutic effect.
Review question / Objective This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Cimetidine combined with Montelukast in treating children with Henoch-Schonlein Purpura (HSP).Condition being studied Henoch-Schonlein Purpura (HSP) is a common systemic vasculitis in children, that incidence rate is 13.5-18.0/100000.It primarily affects children under 10 years old, with no significant difference between males and females.Current treatment for HSP is mainly supportive and symptomatic, supplemented with glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive treatment when necessary.However, the efficacy of many drugs requires further verification through clinical trials.Recent studies have indicated that combining Cimetidine with Montelukast yields promising results in treating children with HSP.Therefore, this study conducted a meta-analysis to further clarify its efficacy and safety. METHODSParticipant or population Patients who were diagnosed with HSP aged 1-18 years and without limitations in gender and race. I n t e r v e n t i o n C i m e t i d i n e c o m b i n e d w i t h Montelukast.Comparator Nither conventional treatment or conventional treatment combined with Cimetidine or Montelukast.Study designs to be included Randomized Controlled Trial.
Testicular necrosis is a rare and severe complication of immunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis (IgAV). Herein, We report a case of a 10-year-old boy who was admitted to the hospital due to skin purpura and intermittent abdominal pain for 10 days and bilateral testicular pain for 2 days. Scrotal ultrasonography indicated right testicle ischemia, right epididymo-orchitis, and bilateral hydrocele of the testis. Scrotal surgical exploration revealed significant swelling and darkening of the right testicle. Conservative treatment led to improvement in his condition, and he was discharged. During 3 months of follow-up, there was no recurrence of skin purpura or pain, and the urine tests were normal. Color ultrasound indicated only partial blood flow signal to the right testicle tissue, which was slightly smaller than the left testicle. This case highlights the need for continuous attention from clinicians to the signs and symptoms of the reproductive system during the diagnosis and treatment of IgAV. Continuous monitoring with ultrasound can aid in early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of reproductive system lesions of IgA vasculitis.
Recurring episodes of fever characterize tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) which is autosomal dominant. The primary symptoms of patients with TRAPS include prolonged fever, abdominal pain, muscle pain, and skin rashes. The prevalence of TRAPS appeared higher in Western countries than in Asian countries. Herein, we present the case of a 13-year-old girl who experienced intermittent fever for 8 years, with episodes that occur every 2 years. The patient demonstrated periodic fever, headache, vomiting, rash, and elevated inflammatory marker levels during the disease course. A heterozygous C55Y mutation was identified via a direct DNA sequencing of her genomic DNA. This mutation is located in exon 4 of TNFRSF1A. Genetic studies of her sister and mother revealed that they possessed the C55Y heterozygous mutation without demonstrating any clinical signs, while the father did not. Further, we conducted a thorough assessment of the literature and compiled the information from the eight TRAPS case series.
