    <p>Selenium is essential for human health; its deficiency leads to cardiac dysfunction. We herein report a 79-year-old man on peritoneal dialysis who presented with refractory hypotension caused by selenium deficiency. He was admitted to our hospital with bacterial pneumonia and hypotension and abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) findings. Despite improvement of pneumonia, his hypotension continued, and intravenous noradrenalin could not be discontinued. His serum selenium level was extremely low, and he was started on intravenous selenium. His hypotension and ECG findings gradually improved, and noradrenalin was discontinued. Physicians should consider selenium deficiency when patients on peritoneal dialysis show refractory hypotension. </p>

    <p><b>Objective </b>In patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD), it was reported that colonoscopy, but not upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, could cause peritonitis as a complication. A guideline of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis recommends preemptive intravenous antibiotics administration of ampicillin and aminoglycoside with or without metronidazole, to prevent colonoscopy-associated peritonitis. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the effects of preemptive antibiotics therapy by oral administration instead of intravenous administration. </p><p><b>Methods </b>We investigated the incidence of colonoscopy-associated peritonitis in a single center. In 170 patients undergoing PD between January 2010 and December 2019, 50 colonoscopies were performed, including 49 with oral administration of amoxicillin and ciprofloxacin and/or metronidazole as preemptive therapy 1 hour before the colonoscopy procedure, and 1 without. </p><p><b>Results </b>We observed no incidence of colonoscopy-associated peritonitis. </p><p><b>Conclusion </b>Generally, oral administration of preemptive antibiotics is less painful and more convenient than intravenous administration, especially in outpatient procedures, such as a colonoscopy. Our results suggest that oral antibiotic administration might be effective for preventing colonoscopy-associated peritonitis in PD patients. </p>

    <p>症例は50歳代男性。Xー12年に心不全のためA病院入院。心筋生検にて拡張型心筋症と診断。その後入退院を繰り返し、心臓移植申請を目的にX-5年7月に名大病院紹介となった。心臓移植適応判定を得て、同年10月に植込み型補助人工心臓(HM-II)植え込み術施行。X年3月24日にドライブラインの断線疑いでHM-IIIへ入れ替え術施行。術後に尿路感染合併し4月2日より抗菌薬治療開始したところ、sCr(mg/dL)0.79-0.96から2.49へと悪化し、その後も改善しないため、4月4日腎臓内科紹介された。CTでは左胸水少量認め、IVC虚脱や水腎症を認めず、腎機能障害の原因は不明であった。ARB中止して経過観察したが4月8日sCr3.02と腎機能は改善せず,別の腎機能検査であるsCysC(mg/L)は0.91と著しい乖離を認めた。4月18日イヌリンクリアランス検査を行い実測GFR84.2(mL/分/1.73m2)、sCr.2.59,sCysC0.85、eGFRcreat21.3,eGFRcys88.8であり、偽性高Cr血症が疑われた。そこで酵素法(シグナスオートCRE)とHPLC法でsCrを比較したところ2.4と0.8であった。酵素法のR-Ⅱ試薬添加後に副波長の吸光度が上昇し続けており、血清に含めれる蛋白成分による混濁が疑われた。その後はsCrは希釈無し、2倍、4倍希釈で評価しており、各々3.23~4.69,0.76~1.14、0.76~0.96であった。心臓移植待機者において偽性高Cr血症を経験したため文献的考察を含め報告する。</p>

    ループス腎炎は全身性エリテマトーデスに伴う主要な臓器障害で、近年の免疫抑制療法によっても未だ多数の患者が末期腎不全に陥っている。自然免疫の一部である補体はループス腎炎の病態に深く関わっており、新たな治療標的になると期待されている。本研究では、ループス腎炎における補体(副経路)の病態への関わりを、活性系の抑制および制御系の増強の二つのアプローチで解明し、新たな治療法の提示を行う。
