Diabetic nephropathy is one of the common secondary kidney diseases,  which can lead to chronic renal failure and even uremia. The diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy has been updated several times over the decades,  ranging from KimmelstielWilson syndrome to diabetic nephropathy to more recent diabetic kidney disease. Although the significance of coverage has been crossed,  the description and definition of the disease is more accurate and perfect,  and more suitable for clinical practice. The change of diagnosis nomenclature is also an exploration to the disease itself. This article reviews the development of diagnosis nomenclature in kidney disease related to diabetes.

Objective  To explore the significance of both the IMN diagnosis and the evaluation of the disease by detecting the serum PLA2R and THSD7A antibody levels in IMN patients. Methods  A total of 137 patients who were diagnosed with renal biopsy in the third hospital of Hebei medical university from September  2016  to December 2017 were selected. Among them,  114 patients with IMN were treated as experimental group,  and the rest patients, including (7 cases of Vtype lupus nephritis and 16 cases of IgA nephropathy) as control group. The serum PLA2R and THSD7A antibody titer were determined by enzymelinked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA),  then the relationship between them and clinical indicators were analyzed. Results  ①The positive rate of serum PLA2R antibody in IMN patients is 57.0% (65/114). Vtype lupus nephritis and IgA nephropathy are negtive; the difference has been statistically significant (P＜0.05). The positive rate of serum THSD7A antibody in IMN patients is 9.6% (11/114),  Vtype with lupus nephritis and IgA nephropathy THSD7A antibody are negtive, the difference is statistically significant. The double positive rate in IMN group is 4.4% (5/114). ② In the IMN group,  24 h urine protein is quantitatively 9.4(4.9~14.0) g/d and blood albumin (21.2±3.7) g/L. PLA2R antibody positive 24 h urine protein quantification ［4.9(0.914.2)］  g/d,  blood albumin (24.4±5.6) g/L; The serum albumin (25.5±6.6) g/L is found in patients with positive THSD7A antibody 7.1(2.1~14.0) g/d. The results showed that there are statistically significant differences between the serum albumin and the serum albumin (P<0.05), so are the differences in blood albumin (P<0.05); while the quantitative difference of 24 h urine protein in patients with positive THSD7A antibody (P＞0.05) are of no statistical difference. ③There is a positive correlation between PLA2R antibody and 24 h urine protein (r=0.318,P=0.001),  which is negatively correlated with serum albumin level (r=-0.207, P=0.027).Conclusion  PLA2R and THSD7A antibody are specific indicators for the diagnosis of IMN. PLA2R antibody can assess the patient's condition; the urinary protein of the patients is high while their albumin is low, with double antibody being positive; However, whether THSD7A can assess the patient's condition and whether the combination can better predict the patient's condition remains to be further studied.

Objective  To observe the calcification of cardiac valves in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), to investigate the factors affecting sclerostin and analyze the correlations between sclerostin and valves calcifications. Methods  A total of  50 patients undergoing MHD at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were selected as experiment group subjects, and 35 healthy persons were selected as the control group. Clinical data were collected, and  ELISA were applied to measure the serum sclerostin level and cardiac doppler ultrasound were used to assess the calcification of cardiac valves.  The correlation analysis was applied to the results.Results  Significant difference on cardiac valves calcification was observed between experimental and control groups (40% vs 8.6%, P<0.05). The serum sclerostin level was negatively correlated to intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH)(r=-0.283,P=0.046) and alkaline phosphatase(r=-0.407,P=0.003), positively correlated to the rate of cardiac valves calcifications (r=0.408, P=0.046).The average age of patients with and without valves calcification is  47.5(33.8~62.3)  vs  69.5（56.577.5）. Serum sclerostin level are lower in patients without valves calcification than that of patients with valves calcification  ［5.66（4.398.09） ng/ml vs  8.28（6.4012.37）  ng/ml］, while the serum phosphate level is higher(2.14±0.55 mmol/L vs 1.81±0.56 mmol/L), the difference is statistically significant. The age and serum sclerostin level are the independent risk factors of cardiac valves calcification, OR values are 6.794，95%CI=1.47431.318（P=0.014）；6.74，95%CI=1.61328.157（P=0.021）, respectively. The iPTH and ALP level are significantly higher in group with lower sclerostin level, 252（168524.5）  pg/ml vs 139（59.5343） pg/ml and 78.0(63.6~81.0)  U/L vs 62.0（59.069.0）U/L，the difference is statistically significant (P<0.05). For calcification, the rate of abdominal aortic valve and cardiac valve calcification is higher in patients with higher serum sclerostin level, （84% vs 44% and 60% vs 20%). The difference is statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion  The rate of vascular calcification is higher in MHD patients, and cardiac valve calcification is positively correlated to serum sclerostin level. Both age and serum sclerostin level are risk factors of cardiac valve calcification. Sclerostin can be used as a new biomarker for vascular calcification in MHD patients.

Objective  To investigate the level of blood 1,25(OH)2D3 and vascular calcification in patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD),  and to explore the factors for serum calcium calcification and blood 1,25(OH)2D3 in patients with CAPD. The role of blood 1,25(OH)2D3 in abdominal aortic calcification(AAC) and significance were explored. Methods  A total of 84 patients with CAPD for more than 3 months were enrolled,  and clinical data were collected. Lateral radiographic calcification was performed and AAC score (AACs) was calculated. Serum 1,25(OH)2D3 concentration was measured by ELISA. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between 1,25(OH)2D3 and AACs,  logistic regression and multiple regression analysis for risk factors of vascular calcification,  and receiver operating curve (ROC) evaluation of 1,25(OH)2D3 for the accuracy of AAC.Results  Of 84 patients with CAPD,  34 cases(42.5%) had AAC. The serum level of  1,25(OH)2D3 was lower in CAPD patients,  which was negatively correlated with AAC. Oral calcitriol increased serum 1,25(OH)2D3 concentration. Logistic regression analysis showed that elderly patients with diabetes,  taking calcitriol,  high total cholesterol,  high P,  high blood uric acid,  and low 1,25(OH)2D3 were risk factors for vascular calcification (P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that age,  serum phosphorus,  and 1,25(OH)2D3 were independent factors for AAC progression (P<0.05). 1,25(OH)2D3 ROC curve area (AUC) was 0.652 (95%CI=0.4420.696,  P<0.05),  suggesting that 1,25(OH)2D3 predicted the accuracy of   AAC. When  1,25(OH)2D3 was 250.43 pg/ml as the cutoff point,  the sensitivity of  AAC was 55.9%,  the specificity 66%,  and Yoden index  0.219. Conclusion  Serum 1,25(OH)2D3 level in CAPD patients is negatively correlated with the degree of  AAC. Low serum 1,25(OH)2D3 level was one of the independent risk factors for AAC. Oral calcitriol can improve 1,25(OH)2D3 levels in patients with CAPD,  but  in can also increases the risk of vascular calcification,  and monitoring on the 1,25(OH)2D3 level should be performed to prevent the risk of vascular calcification.

Objective  To evaluate the incidence and mortality of  reentry ICU after cardiac surgery，and to analyze them by stratification.Methods  The inclusion criteria and retrieval strategy of original literature were established. Such databases as Chinese Periodical Full Text Database, Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, Full Text Database of Chinese SciTech Periodical, Wanfang Database, PubMed and Elsevier were searched electronically to extract valid data. Associations between the incidence and mortality of reentry ICU, the perioperative risk factors such as circulatory and respiratory complications, were stratified by geographical, age, diseases and different time periods.  All the data were analyzed with RevMan 5.3 software. Results  A total of 22 articles were included in this study, and  89 981  patients were enrolled. The number of readmission and deaths were 2 717 and 478 respectively. The total incidence of reentry ICU was 3%(95%CI=0.030.04，P＜0.01); reentry ICU rate for respiratory reason was 39%(95%CI=0.330.44，P＜0.01), and for circulatory reason was 29%(95%CI=0.250.34，P＜0.01). The rate of reentry ICU was lower athome than that abroad, lower in children than that among adults,lower after 2011 than that before 2010, and lower in congenital heart disease than that in CABG. The total mortality of reentry ICU cases was 18%(95%CI=0.150.21，P＜0.01). The mortality abroad was higher than that at home,and the mortality in congenital heart disease is lower than in CABG. Conclusion  The rate of readmission into cardiac intensive care unit is  low, but the mortality of the ones that have been readmitted is quite high.
