[Evaluations and analyses of quality of life in 90 patients with systemic sclerosis by health assessment questionnaire-disability index].
To evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) using health assessment questionnaire-disability index (HAQ-DI), visual analog scale (VAS) and scleroderma assessment questionnaire (SAQ). ⋯ HRQOL is impaired in patients with SSc, especially in physical domains. And higher scores in SSc patients with specific organ involvement suggest that severe disease has worse HRQOL.

[Clinical, electrophysiological and skin biopsy studies of peripheral neuropathy with small fibers involvement: a report of 34 cases].
To explore the relationship between clinical features, electrophysiology and intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) in peripheral neuropathy with small fibers involvement and determine the diagnostic value of 13-item small-fiber neuropathy and symptoms inventory questionnaire (SFN-SIQ) and neuropathy symptom score [lower limb] (NSS [LL]) in small fiber neuropathy (SFN). ⋯ Chinese normative reference of IENFD should be formulated for the diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy. SFN-SIQ and NSS [LL] may screen for small fiber neuropathy and both are convenient during patient follow-ups.Large sample studies are warranted to further evaluate the clinical values of SFN-SIQ and NSS [LL].

[Role of de novo HLA-DQ antibodies in renal transplantation: analysis of a single center data].
To explore the generation pattern and clinical relevance of de novo HLA-DQ antibodies in renal transplantation. ⋯ The presence of de novo HLA-DQ antibodies is frequent after renal transplantation. And it is associated with chronic graft failure when co-displaying with other HLA antibodies. The screening and detection of HLA-DQ antibodies after kidney transplantation may aid early warning of donor antigen-specific activation of immune system and subsequent graft dysfunction. Thus it serves as an indication for early treatment.
