Background:Ziwan and Taoren(ZT)is a classic medicine pair in the formula of Mai Dong Di Shao Decoction,has been used to treat primary Sjogren’s syndrome(pSS)for more than 20 years.But its action mechanism is still unknown.This study is aimed to reveal the potential mechanism of ZT treated pSS and discover its active compounds of ZT and therapeutic target for pSS.Methods:Firstly,the potential pathways of ZT for pSS treatment were predicted through network pharmacology and GO and KEGG enrichment analysis.Secondly,the inter-structural relationships between active compounds of ZT and target proteins were visualized using molecular docking techniques.Finally,efficacy and mechanism were conducted through in vivo experiments,such as water intake,spleen index,hematoxylin-eosin staining pathological changes,ELISA,Western Blot analysis,and immunofluorescence staining.Results:Nine active compounds were extracted from network pharmacology,including quercitrin,luteolin,kaempferol,β-sitosterol,isorhamnetin,galangin,hederagenin,diosmetin and gibberellin 7.Seven disease targets were identified:RELA,TP53,AKT1,interleukin(IL)6,MAPK1,ESR1,IL10;with RELA being the most core target.KEGG and GO enrichment analysis indicated that ZT may act through the TLR/NF-κB/RELA inflammatory mechanism process.preliminary results of molecular docking showed that ZT’s active compounds bind well to the RELA(p65)receptor.In vivo results demonstrated that a high dose of ZT significantly improved water intake and reduced lymphocytes infiltration in submandibular gland pathology in NOD mice.The expression content of AQP5 and vasoactive intestinal peptide in the submaxillary gland was significantly increased,while levels of inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor-α,IL-6,and IL-1βalong with protein expressions including toll-like receptor4,p-p65 and p-IKKα/βin NF-κB pathway were reduced.Conclusions:The ZT treatment exhibits a promising efficacy in mitigating dryness symptoms of pSS,potentially attributed to its capacity for suppressing the TLR/NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway. 展开更多

BACKGROUND Superior mesenteric artery(SMA)syndrome is a rare cause of duodenal obstruction by extrinsic compression between the SMA and the aorta(SMA-Ao).Although the left lateral recumbent position is considered effective in the treatment of SMA syndrome,individual variations in the optimal patient position have been noted.In this report,we present two elderly cases of SMA syndrome that exhibited rapid recovery due to ultrasonographic dynamic evaluation of the optimal position for each patient.CASE SUMMARY Case 1:A 90-year-old man with nausea and vomiting.Following diagnosis of SMA syndrome by computed tomography(CT),ultrasonography(US)revealed the SMA-Ao distance in the supine position(4 mm),which slightly improved in the lateral position(5.7–7.0 mm)without the passage of duodenal contents.However,in the sitting position,the SMA-Ao distance was increased to 15 mm accompanied by improved content passage.Additionally,US indicated enhanced passage upon abdominal massage on the right side.By day 2,the patient could eat comfortably with the optimal position and massage.Case 2:An 87-year-old woman with vomiting.After the diagnosis of SMA syndrome and aspiration pneumonia by CT,dynamic US confirmed the optimal position(SMA-Ao distance was improved to 7 mm in forward-bent position,whereas it remained at 5 mm in the supine position).By day 7 when her pneumonia recovered,she could eat with the optimal position.CONCLUSION The optimal position for SMA syndrome varies among individuals.Dynamic US appears to be a valuable tool in improving patient outcomes. 展开更多

BACKGROUND Since its description in 1790 by Hunter,the nasogastric tube(NGT)is commonly used in any healthcare setting for alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms or enteral feeding.However,the risks associated with its placement are often underes-timated.Upper airway obstruction with a NGT is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication.NGT syndrome is characterized by the presence of an NGT,throat pain and vocal cord(VC)paralysis,usually bilateral.It is poten-tially life–threatening,and early diagnosis is the key to the prevention of fatal upper airway obstruction.However,fewer cases may have been reported than might have occurred,primarily due to the clinicians'unawareness.The lack of specific signs and symptoms and the inability to prove temporal relation with NGT insertion has made diagnosing the syndrome quite challenging.AIM To review and collate the data from the published case reports and case series to understand the possible risk factors,early warning signs and symptoms for timely detection to prevent the manifestation of the complete syndrome with life-threatening airway obstruction.METHODS We conducted a systematic search for this meta-summary from the database of PubMed,EMBASE,Reference Citation Analysis(https://www.referencecitation-analysis.com/)and Google scholar,from all the past studies till August 2023.The search terms included major MESH terms"Nasogastric tube","Intubation,Gastrointestinal","Vocal Cord Paralysis",and“Syndrome”.All the case reports and case series were evaluated,and the data were extracted for patient demographics,clinical symptomatology,diagnostic and therapeutic interventions,clinical course and outcomes.A datasheet for evaluation was further prepared.RESULTS Twenty-seven cases,from five case series and 13 case reports,of NGT syndrome were retrieved from our search.There was male predominance(17,62.96%),and age at presentation ranged from 28 to 86 years.Ten patients had diabetes mellitus(37.04%),and nine were hypertensive(33.33%).Only three(11.11%)patients were reported to be immunocompromised.The median time for developing symptoms after NGT insertion was 14.5 d(interquartile range 6.25-33.75 d).The most commonly reported reason for NGT insertion was acute stroke(10,37.01%)and the most commonly reported symptoms were stridor or wheezing 17(62.96%).In 77.78%of cases,bilateral VC were affected.The only treatment instituted in most patients(77.78%)was removing the NG tube.Most patients(62.96%)required tracheostomy for airway protection.But 8 of the 23 survivors recovered within five weeks and could be decannulated.Three patients were reported to have died.CONCLUSION NGT syndrome is an uncommon clinical complication of a very common clinical procedure.However,an under-reporting is possible because of misdiagnosis or lack of awareness among clinicians.Patients in early stages and with mild symptoms may be missed.Further,high variability in the presentation timing after NGT insertion makes diagnosis challenging.Early diagnosis and prompt removal of NGT may suffice in most patients,but a significant proportion of patients presenting with respiratory compromise may require tracheostomy for airway protection. 展开更多

Thiamine responsive megaloblastic anemia(TRMA),also known as Roger’s syndrome,is an exceptionally rare autosomal recessive disorder stemming from mutations in the SLC19A2 gene responsible for encoding a thiamine carrier protein.This syndrome manifests as the classic triad of megaloblastic anemia,sensorineural hearing loss,and diabetes mellitus.Here,we present the case of a one-and-a-half-year-old male infant born to non-consanguineous parents in India,a region where TRMA cases are seldom reported.At five months of age,the child exhibited the characteristic symptoms,prompting immediate treatment involving thiamine therapy,insulin administration,and blood transfusions.Notably,the child exhibited significant improvement in all aspects except for hearing loss,which conventional hearing aids failed to alleviate.However,following a cochlear implant procedure conducted within a few months,the child regained hearing abilities.This case underscores the importance of early recognition and intervention in the form of cochlear implant,demonstrating the potential to reverse TRMA symptoms and provide affected individuals with a substantially improved quality of life. 展开更多

BACKGROUND Splenic rupture associated with Behçet’s syndrome(BS)is extremely rare,and there is no consensus on its management.In this case report,a patient with BSassociated splenic rupture was successfully treated with splenic artery embolization(SAE)and had a good prognosis after the intervention.CASE SUMMARY The patient was admitted for pain in the left upper abdominal quadrant.He was diagnosed with splenic rupture.Multiple oral and genital aphthous ulcers were observed,and acne scars were found on his back.He had a 2-year history of BS diagnosis,with symptoms of oral and genital ulcers.At that time,he was treated with oral corticosteroids for 1 month,but the symptoms did not alleviate.He underwent SAE to treat the rupture.On the first day after SAE,the patient reported a complete resolution of abdominal pain and was discharged 5 d later.Three months after the intervention,a computed tomography examination showed that the splenic hematoma had formed a stable cystic effusion,suggesting a good prognosis.CONCLUSION SAE might be a good choice for BS-associated splenic rupture based on good surgical practice and material selection. 展开更多

Purpose: Cotard’s syndrome, Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, and Catatonia are all rare psychiatric disorders that have relatively little research regarding their treatments. The aim of this article is to highlight any gaps in knowledge regarding represented demographics in these treatment studies, and to discuss the current and upcoming treatment options. Background: This literature review explores under-researched psychiatric conditions: Cotard’s syndrome, Alice in Wonderland syndrome, and Catatonic Schizophrenia. Understanding psychiatric disorders requires basic knowledge of brain anatomy. These conditions are often result of or associated with neurological issues, such as migraines or tumors. The brain has eight lobes, two of four kinds: frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes, which all govern different functions and abilities. Frontal lobes control judgment, decision-making, personality traits, and fine motor movements. Parietal lobes interpret pain and temperature, occipital lobes handle visual stimuli, and temporal lobes enable hearing. The pre-frontal cortex is associated with high intelligence, psychotic traits, and psychosis. The Broca’s Area in the frontal lobes controls expressive language. These areas and divisions of the brain contribute to the complexity of the psychiatric disorders discussed in this review. Introduction: Cotard’s syndrome is a psychiatric disorder characterized by delusions of being dead or not having certain limbs or organs. It is believed that there is a disconnect between their fusiform face area and the amygdala, causing a lack of familiarity between one’s mind and body. Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) is another psychiatric disorder which is characterized by visual hallucinations, such as distorted perceptions of color, size, distance, and speed. The most common symptoms include micropsia and macropsia. Catatonia/Catatonic Schizophrenia is an uncommon type of schizophrenia. This type of schizophrenia is characterized by motor rigidity, verbal rigidity, the flat effect, psychomotor retardation, waxy flexibility, and overall negative symptoms. Thus, these people may come off as emotionally detached, and able to stay frozen in odd positions for periods on end. Treatments and Results: Cotard’s syndrome seemed to be most effectively treated by ECT (electroconvulsive therapy). Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) had the highest positive responses to treatment by Valproate (an anti-epileptic drug), as well as intervention to treat the associated neurological conditions they had. Catatonia/Catatonic Schizophrenia seemed to be most effectively treated with a combination of benzodiazepines and ECT. Discussion and Demographics: In all 3 disorders, the Latino and African communities were underrepresented. There also seemed to be an underrepresentation of men in Cotard’s syndrome, and of women in Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. Japan and India seemed to have the highest density of treatment studies in all 3 disorders. 展开更多

Potter syndrome is a rare congenital malformation that primarily affects male fetuses;it is characterized by pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal malformation, and kidney abnormalities. The pressure of the uterine wall due to oligohydramnios leads to an unusual facial appearance, abnormal limbs in abnormal positions, or contractures. The fetus generally dies soon after birth due to respiratory insufficiency. The baby was a live preterm male, born to a 30-year-old multigravida, out of a non-consanguineous marriage via cesarean section. There was no liquor at the time of delivery. The baby did not cry immediately after birth and required resuscitation, followed by mechanical ventilation. Multiple congenital anomalies suggestive of Potter’s syndrome were noted including facial features, flattened nose, low protruding ear, retrognathism, and epicanthal folds with unilateral atresia of the choana. Chest X-ray showed small volume lung fields suggestive of pulmonary hypoplasia, and we had on ultrasonography bilateral polycystic kidney disease on ultrasonography. At 42 hours of life, the baby developed tachypnea and severe chest retractions and died due to respiratory insufficiency. Our case highlights the importance of regular prenatal checks and examinations in each pregnancy, which helps to collect suspected cases and improve knowledge of this syndrome for better management. 展开更多

Introduction: Glomerular damage during Gougerot-Sjgren syndrome is much rarer than interstitial damage, and is essentially extra-membranous and membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis. Observation: We report the case of a 44-year-old woman with primary Sjgrens syndrome, confirmed by clinical dryness syndrome, positive anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies, and a salivary gland biopsy revealing grade 4 lymphocytic sialadenitis according to CHISHOLMs classification. Later, the patient developed nephrotic syndrome, along with hypertension. Renal function remained normal with a creatinine level of 9.3 mg/l, and hematuria was absent. Only antinuclear antibodies tested positive, while anti-PLA2R antibodies were negative. A renal biopsy was performed, which was complicated on the same day by hemodynamic instability with hematuria. Renal CT scan with contrast injection revealed a posterior perirenal hematoma without contrast extravasation. Additionally, bilateral renal vein thrombosis was incidentally discovered, suggesting extramembranous glomerulonephritis. The patients hemodynamic status stabilized after fluid resuscitation with isotonic saline solution (0.9%), without the need for blood transfusion. Renal biopsy confirmed extramembranous glomerulonephritis with interstitial fibrosis and minimal tubular atrophy. The initial etiological assessment was negative. The patient was started on oral corticosteroids, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and therapeutic anticoagulation for renal vein thrombosis. The patients condition improved, with the disappearance of the syndrome and spontaneous regression of the hematoma. Discussion: The association of nephrotic syndrome and renal vein thrombosis primarily suggests glomerulopathy, in particular extra-membranous glomerulonephritis. Sjgrens syndrome can be associated with extra-membranous glomerulonephritis without being its direct cause. Like, it is possible that it is a cause of glomerulonephritis, essentially extra membranous and membrano-proliferative. Conclusion: Sjgrens syndrome is generally underestimated cause of glomerulonephritis, which should be considered in cases of extra-membranous glomerulonephritis. 展开更多

The most common cause of intestinal failure is short bowel syndrome (SBS), occurring as a result of a small functional intestine length, usually less than 200 cm, leading to intestinal malabsorption. A 59-year-old female with a past medical history of Crohns disease status post total colectomy with ileostomy over 20 years ago came to the hospital due to progressive weakness. Despite medical management, the patient had high ileostomy output, leading to electrolyte disbalance, metabolic acidosis, dehydration, and progressive kidney decline. Due to the high dependence on continuous fluid supplementation, it was decided to place a port for parenteral hydration to maintain fluid replacements and homeostasis after discharge. Prompt initiation of parenteral fluid replacement and close follow-up on patients with ileostomy and intestinal failure is strongly recommended to avoid complications and prevent intestinal, liver, or kidney transplants. 展开更多

AIM:To compare the corneal biomechanics of Sj?gren's syndrome(SS) and non-SS dry eyes with Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology(CorV is ST).METHODS:Corneal biomechanics and tear film parameters, namely the Schirmer I test value, tear film break-up time(TBUT) and corneal staining score(CSS) were detected in 34 eyes of 34 dry eye patients with SS(SSDE group) and 34 dry eye subjects without SS(NSSDE group) using CorV is ST. The differences of the above parameters between the two groups were examined, and the relationship between corneal biomechanics and tear film parameters were observed. RESULTS:The differences in age, sex, intraocular pressure(IOP) and central corneal thickness(CCT) were not significant between the two groups(P〉0.05). The tear film parameters had significant differences between the SSDE group and NSSDE group(all P〈0.05). Patients in the SSDE group had significantly lower A1-time and HC-time, but higher DA(P=0.01, 0.02, and 0.02, respectively) compared with the NSSDE group. In the SSDE group, DA was negatively correlated with TBUT(rho=-0.38, P=0.03); HC-time was negatively correlated with CSS(rho=-0.43, P=0.02). In the NSSDE group, HC-time was again negatively correlated with CSS(rho=-0.39, P=0.02).CONCLUSION:There are differences in corneal biomechanical properties between SSDE and NSSDE. The cornea of SSDE tends to show less "stiffness", as seen by a significantly shorter A1-time and HC-time, but larger DA, compared with the cornea of NSSDE. Biomechanical parameters can be influenced by different tear film parameters in both groups. 展开更多

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder often co-exists with primary Sjogreffs syndrome. We compared the clinical features of 16 neuro- myelitis optica spectrum disorder patients with (n = 6) or without primary Sjogreffs syndrome (n = 10). All patients underwent extensive clinical, laboratory, and MRI evaluations. There were no statistical differences in demographics or first neurological involvement at onset between neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder patients with and without primary Sjogren's syndrome. The laboratory findings of cerebrospinal fluid oligoclonal banding, serum C-reactive protein, antinudear autoantibody, anti-Sjogren's-syndrome-related antigen A an- tibodies, anti-Sjogren's-syndrome-related antigen B antibodies, and anti-Sm antibodies were significantly higher in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome than those without. Anti-aquaporin 4 antibodies were detectable in 67% (4/6) of patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome and in 60% (6/10) of patients without primary Sj6gren's syndrome. More brain abnormalities were observed in patients without primary Sj6gren's syndrome than in those with primary Sj6gren's syndrome. Segments lesions (〉 3 centrum) were noted in 50% (5/10) of patients without primary Sj6gren's syndrome and in 67% (4/6) of patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome. These findings indicate that the clinical characteristics of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder patients with and without primary Sjogren's syndrome are similar. However, neu- romyelitis optica spectrum disorder patients without primary Sjogreffs syndrome have a high frequency of brain abnormalities. 展开更多

A female patient R.N.N. F, age 66, from the city of Manaus, with a previous diagnosis of Sjogren’s syndrome in regular follow-up by the Rheumatology team at the Araujo Lima outpatient clinic and referred to the Ophthalmology sector for complementary evaluation related to visual discomfort. The fundoscopy performed in the patient was within normal limits, but the symptoms experienced by her proved to be an important clinical finding, which has ratified the need for regular and multidisciplinary follow-up. This report unequivocally demonstrates that even in the face of tests considered within the expected limits for a given population, the clinical presentation can be specific and particular for each analyzed individual. Early screening exams should contemplate the patient in a holistic and individualized way whenever possible. 展开更多

The recognition of the profound impact of the human gastrointestinal microbiome(GM) on human autoimmune diseases has gradually increased thanks to deeper research efforts. As a systemic autoimmune disease, primary Sjogren’s syndrome(pSS) cannot be completely cured. Human studies have revealed that GM species and diversity are altered in patients with p SS compared with healthy individuals. Animal studies have provided possible mechanisms for the association between pSS and GM. The potential role of GM in pSS is exerted through several mechanisms. GM dysbiosis leads to increased intestinal permeability, which increases the risk of GM antigen exposure and activates specific autoreactive T lymphocytes via “molecular mimicry”. In addition, GM antigen exposure and intestinal immune tolerance loss caused by GM dysbiosis together induce chronic local gut mucosal inflammation, which deteriorates to systemic chronic non-specific inflammation with the circulation of pro-inflammatory lymphocytes and cytokines. These factors eventually activate autoreactive B lymphocytes and lead to pSS. If GM plays a key role in the pathogenesis of pSS, clarifying the underlying mechanisms will be helpful for the development of new therapies targeting GM for dry eye associated with pSS. This review summarizes the latest knowledge about the relationship between GM and p SS,with the aim of contributing to future research and to the development of new clinical applications. 展开更多

OBJECTIVE To study the therapeutic effects of TGP on SS both in C57BL/6J mice immunized by immu⁃nological induction(SS mice)and NOD/ShiltJNju(NOD)mice.METHODS TGP(180,360,720 mg·kg^-1)was intragastri⁃cally administered for 6 or 16 weeks for SS mice and NOD mice,respectively.Weekly food and water intake,saliva flow,submandibular gland(SMG)and spleen index,and SMG pathology were measured.ELISA was used to evaluate serum interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interferon-γ(IFN-γ)and autoantigens(SSA/Ro,SSB/La,andα-fodrin).Real-time PCR and Luminex liquid suspension chip assay were applied to analyze SMG inflammatory cytokines mRNA TNF-α,IL-17A,CXCL9,CXCL13,and B-cell activating factor(BAFF)and protein(IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,and IFN-γ)expres⁃sion.RESULTS Compared with SS mice,TGP(720 mg·kg^-1)treatment increased saliva flow,reduced organ indexes,and decreased serum IL-6 and IFN-γ concentration.TGP(360 mg·kg^-1)treatment decreased serum IFN-γ concentra⁃tion.TGP(180,360,720 mg·kg^-1)treatment improved SMG pathological damage.Compared with NOD mice,the saliva flowincreased from 9 to 15 weeks of administration.After 2 weeks of administration,TGP(720 mg·kg^-1)treatment decreased serum SSA/Ro,SSB/La and a-fodrin concentration,increased SMG index,inhibited SMG IFN-γ concentra⁃tion,and down-regulated SMG TNF-α,IL-17A,CXCL9,CXCL13 and BAFF mRNA expression.TGP(360 mg·kg^-1)treat⁃ment decreased serum SSB/La and a-fodrin,and SMG TNF-α and IFN-γ concentration,and down-regulated SMG TNF-α,IL-17A,CXCL9 and BAFF mRNA expression.TGP(180 mg·kg^-1)treatment decreased serum SSB/La,a-fodrin,and SMG IL-1β concentration,and down-regulated SMG TNF-α,IL-17A and BAFF mRNA expression.After 8 weeks of administration,TGP(180,360,720 mg·kg^-1)treatment increased SMG index,and decreased serum a-fodrin concentra⁃tion.TGP(720 mg·kg^-1)treatment down-regulated mRNA expression of SMG TNF-α,IL-17A,CXCL9,CXCL13,and BAFF.TGP(360 mg·kg^-1)treatment reduced mRNA expression of TNF-α,CXCL9,CXCL13 and BAFF,and concentra⁃tion of IL-6 and TNF-α.TGP(180 mg·kg^-1)treatment down-regulated mRNA expression of TNF-α,CXCL9,and CXCL13,and decreased IL-6 and TNF-αconcentration in SMG.After 16 weeks of administration,TGP(180,360,720 mg·kg^-1)treatment reduced serum SSA/Ro and a-fodrin concentration,increased SMG index,and decreased SMG CXCL13 and BAFF mRNA expression.TGP(360,720 mg·kg^-1)treatment decreased serum SSB/Laconcentration and SMG TNF-α,IL-17A and CXCL9 mRNA expression.Besides,TGP(180,360,720 mg·kg^-1)treatment alleviated the pathological damage of SMG after 2 and 16 weeks of administration.CONCLUSION TGP has a certain therapeutic effect onmice through inhibiting inflammatory responses. 展开更多

Aim: To elucidate the anti-apoptotic properties of nuclear factor kappa light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and feedback regulation of NF-κB by nuclear factor of kappa light-chain-enhancer of activated B-cells inhibitor alpha (IκBα). Methods: We developed an in vitro model of Sjogren’s syndrome by transfecting human salivary gland (HSG) and acinar cells (NS-SV-AC) with a plasmid-encoding IκBαM (pCMV-IκBαM), a degradation-resistant IκBα (nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor, alpha)-mutant, and examined TNF-induced apoptosis and anti-apoptotic properties of NF-κB. Apoptosis and induction of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic genes were investigated by cDNA arrays, RT-PCR, electrophoretic mobility shift assays, and western blot. Results: In the presence of NF-κB inhibitors, TNF-induced apoptosis was markedly increased in both salivary gland and acinar cells. Increased caspase-3 activity was present in both HSG and NS-SV-AC cells. IκBαM-transfected salivary gland cells were more sensitive to TNF-induced apoptosis than IκBαM-transfected acinar cells. Transcription of pro-apoptotic genes was confirmed in both HSG and NS-SV-AC cells that were transfected with IκBαM. Results from caspase-3 activity assay confirmed previous experiments showing an apoptotic role for NF-κB. Conclusion: Data from gene expression arrays suggest that different mechanisms may operate during TNF-induced apoptosis in salivary gland ductal and acinar cells. 展开更多

Intro: Primary Sjogren’s syndrome is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease. Although ocular and oral dryness are the hallmarks of this syndrome, renal involvement when present most commonly has the histological appearance of tubointerstitial nephritis and less often glomerular involvement. We report, a unique case of renal manifestations of primary Sjogren’s syndrome with a proven histological focal proliferative and crescentric necrotizing glomeru-lonephritis. Case: A 30 years old man with Kimura disease presented with four months of subjective fevers, migrating skin erythema, dry mouth, and dry eyes. On further workup the patient was found to have a positive ANA, positive anti-SSA, and was evaluated by ophthalmology who found keratoconjunctivitis sicca. The patient was started on hydroxychloroquine in combination with prednisone. On follow up, the patient was found to be hypertensive with acute kidney injury, a creatinine of 3.65, proteinuria and hematuria. Renal ultrasound was unremarkable. Cytoplasmic ANCA was positive and kidney biopsy was performed revealing non pauci-immune focal proliferative and necrotizing glomerulonephritis with cellular crescents and mesangial dense deposits by electron microscopy. Conclusion: To our knowledge, the association between biopsy proven focal proliferative and necrotizing glomerulonephritis with primary Sjogren’s syndrome has never been previously described in the literature, nor has there been a reported case of association between Kimura disease, ANCA serology and primary Sjogren’s syndrome. 展开更多

BACKGROUND Sj?gren syndrome(SS)is a chronic and systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands.And histoplasmosis is an invasive mycosis caused by the saprophytic dimorphic fungus H.capsulatum.In patients with primary SS(PSS),disseminated histoplasmosis(DH)is extremely rare.CASE SUMMARY We report a 37-year-old female patient admitted to our hospital with exacerbating fatigue,somnolence,and pancytopenia as the main symptoms.She was eventually diagnosed with DH based on pancytopenia,splenomegaly,and findings of bone marrow smears.The atypical clinical symptoms made the diagnosis process more tortuous.Unfortunately,she died of respiratory failure on the day the diagnosis was confirmed.CONCLUSION We present a rare and interesting case of DH in a PSS patient.This case updates the geographic distribution of histoplasmosis in China,and expands the clinical manifestations of DH in PSS,highlighting the significance of constantly improving the understanding of PSS with DH. 展开更多
