ObjectiveTo analyze and identify the pathogenic mutation that caused a case of child’s renal coloboma syndrome (RCS).MethodsA child with congenital cataract in the right eye and optic disc defect in the left eye and his parents with normal phenotype were included in the study. The blood of the child and his parents were captured to extract DNA and make molecular test. The possible variants were screened through NGS sequencing using the ophthalmology gene panel on illumina NextSeq 500 platform, and proved the selected PAX2 mutation by Sanger sequencing. Pathogenicity report was retrieved through PubMed and related database. Pathogenicity analysis of the candidate mutated site has careful consideration of the patient’s clinical presentations and sequencing result base on Standards and Guidelines for the Interpretation of Sequence Variants revised by ACMG. According to the results of gene diagnosis, the child was executed related clinical examinations on kidney.ResultsThe sequence result showed that a heterozygous mutation in PAX2, c.70dupG (p.V26Gfs*28), which lead to truncated protein product that terminated after 28 amino acids of the mutated site. Both of his normal parents were not carriers of the heterozygous mutation. Sanger sequencing results of the child and his parents were consistent with the NGS sequencing. The autosomal dominant disease phenotype was inferred to be caused by the heterozygous mutation of c.70dupG (p.V26Gfs*28) of PAX2 gene. Renal color Doppler ultrasound results showed the child with small renal cysts on the left and mildly separated collecting system. Renal function tests showed the child with α1 microglobulin index increased.ConclusionThe heterozygous mutation c.70dupG (p.V26Gfs*28) in PAX2 is the genetic pathogenic cause for the patient with RCS.
Objective To investigate the prognosis and risk factors of cardiac surgical patients with preoperative renal dysfunction，and evaluate the accuracy of estimated glomerular filtration rate （eGFR） as a predictor of adverse outcomes. Methods A total of 2 151 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery in Renji Hospital，School of Medicine of Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2005 to December 2009 were included in this study. There were 1 267 male patientsand 884 female patients with their average age of 58.7 （18-99）years. Clinical characteristics of patients with preoperative renal dysfunction，severity of postoperative acute kidney injury （AKI）and patients’ outcomes were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to analyze perioperative risk factors of postoperative AKI. Receiver operating characteristic（ROC） curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of eGFR to predict patients undergoing postoperative renal replacement therapy （RRT） and in-hospital death. Results A total of 221 patients （10.27%） had preoperative renal dysfunction，among whom 124 patients （56.11%） developed postoperative AKI. Patients with preoperative renal dysfunction were older，had more comorbidities including hypertension and diabetes mellitus，were more likely to receive postoperative RRT，and had worse outcomes. Patients with decreased preoperative eGFR had significantly higher in-hospital mortality. Patients with preoperative renal dysfunction who developed postoperative AKI had the worst prognosis. Multivariate logistic regression showed that hypertension （OR=4.497，P=0.003），postoperative central venous pressure （CVP） ＜6 cm H2O （OR=16.410，P=0.000） and postoperative CVP＞14 cm H2O （OR= 5.178，P=0.013） were independent predictors of postoperative AKI for patients with preoperative renal dysfunction. The areas under the ROC curves of eGFR to predict in-hospital mortality and postoperative RRT were 0.691 and 0.704 respectively （95% CI 0.630-0.752，P=0.000；95% CI 0.614-0.795，P=0.001）. Conclusion Patients with preoperative renal dysfunction are older，have more comorbidities，higher likelihood to develop postoperative AKI and worse prognosis. Hypertension，postoperative CVP＜6 cm H2O and postoperative CVP＞14 cm H2O are independent predictors of postoperative AKI for patients with preoperative renal dysfunction. We believe eGFR can accurately predict the risk of adverse kidney outcomes and in-hospital death of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Objectives To analyze the labeling of drug items for patients with renal insufficiency in our hospital so as to provide reference for rational use of drugs. Methods The drug instructions used in No.1 Hospital of Jilin University in 2017 were collected. According to the classification of pharmacology, the instructions of the top 9 drugs system were selected. The annotation of drug items for patients with renal insufficiency in these pharmaceutical instructions was analyzed. Results A total of 812 drug instructions were included, in which 72.17% did not mark drug instruction for renal insufficiency patients. According to the administration system, the highest unlabeled rate were digestive system drugs; according to the method of administration, the highest unlabeled rate was external preparation of drugs, accounting for 83.33%; according to production enterprises, the highest unlabeled rate were domestic drugs, accounting for 75.55%. There were only 23.40% of the tagging items having guidance of medication, and some with a certain degree of confusion in the annotation. Conclusion The unlabelling situation of drug instructions for renal insufficiency patients is very serious. It should arouse the attention of pharmaceutical manufacturers and the pharmaceutical supervisory department is suggested to strengthen the supervision of drug instructions and regulate the contents of drug labeling in drug instructions, so as to guide the rational use of drugs in clinical practice.

Objective To compare the accuracy of different renal function measurements for predicting postoperativeadverse events after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （OPCAB） for Chinese patients. Methods Clinical data of 283 Chinese patients undergoing isolated OPCAB from January 2010 to December 2011 in the First Hospital of Peking University were retrospectively analyzed. There were 194 male and 89 female patients with their age of 65.0±9.7 years. Estimated glomerular filtration rate （eGFR） was calculated using Cockcroft-Gault equation，Modification of Diet in Renal Disease （MDRD） study equation and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration （CKD-EPI） equation respectively.Logistic multivariate regression analysis was performed to compare the accuracy of these 3 different renal function measure-ments for predicting postoperative adverse events. Results Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that preoper-ative renal dysfunction was an independent risk factor for higher postoperative morbidity，more blood transfusion，prolongedhospitalization，mechanical ventilation time and length of ICU stay. Among the different postoperative complications，preop-erative renal dysfunction was an independent risk factor for postoperative acute renal injury，gastrointestinal bleeding，new onset atrial fibrillation and low cardiac output syndrome. Among Cockcroft-Gault equation，MDRD study equationand CKD-EPI equation to calculate eGFR，CKD-EPI equation was most accurate to predict postoperative morbidity （OR=1.227），acute renal injury （OR=1.534），new onset atrial fibrillation （OR=1.184），prolonged hospitalization（OR=1.160），mechanical ventilation time （OR=1.165） and ICU stay （OR=1.151）. Conclusion Preoperative renal dysfunction is an independent risk factor for postoperative adverse events after OPCAB. CKD-EPI equation is more suitable for predicting postoperative adverse events after OPCAB for Chinese patients.
