500The purpose of this study is to determine the optimum dosage and application method of Glycosides Of Tripterygium Wilfordii Hook(GTW) for Henoch-Schönlein Purpura Nephritis(HSPN) in children, and develop into the normal treatment protocols for Henoch-Schönlein Purpura Nephritis in children.
Based on Chinese Eleventh Five-year Plan for Science and Technology Program, this study follows a large-sample multicenter centerrandom open-label controlled perspective method, enrolls HSPN children with hematuria associated with proteinuria and isolated proteinuria from 2 to 18 years of age, classifys five traditional Chinese medicine patterns of syndrome: wind-heat complicated with blood stasis, blood-heat complicated with blood stasis, yin deficiency complicated with blood stasis, both qi and yin deficiency complicated with blood stasis,damp-heat complicated with blood stasis. For TCM group,according to the severity of HSPN, stepped treatment should be taken. The initial dosage of GTW for severe HSPN is 2mg/kg/d, continued with 1.5mg/kg/d and 1mg/kg/d; The initial dosage of GTW for light HSPN is 1.5mg/kg/d, continued with 1mg/kg/d. On the above base, the comprehensive treatment are taken combined with TCM syndrome differentiation, medicated with Sulfotanshinone Sodium Injection.For controlled group,the treatment for severe HSPN is prednisone combined with heparin plus lotensin and dipyridamole tablets;for light HSPN is heparin plus lotensin and dipyridamole tablets.12 weeks after treatment, the third-party statistics evaluate the efficacy and effect,and a follow-up lasting 36 weeks will go on.
For severe HSPN GTW is 2mg/kg/d for the first 2 weeks , continued with 1.5mg/kg/d (maximum to 90mg/d) for another 2 weeks; For light HSPN GTW is 1.5mg/kg/d(maximum to 90mg/d) for 4 weeks. Both the 2 types are continued with 1mg/kg/d of GTW for another 4 weeks . Besides,Sulfotanshinone Sodium Injection,Qingrezhixue graunles,Chinese herbs by syndrome differentiation are plused at the same time
Intravenous drip of Sulfotanshinone Sodium Injection with the dosage of 1mg/kg/d(maximum to 50mg), combined with 100-250ml 5% Glucose Solution (G.S) for 2 weeks in both the light and serious type of TCM group.
For both the light and serious type of HSPN in TCM group,five traditional Chinese medicine patterns of syndrome are classified on the main pathogenesis "Blood Stasis": based on Qingre Zhixue granule,for wind-heat complicated with blood stasis, add Forsythia, Honeysuckle,;for blood-heat complicated with blood stasis,add Buffalo horn,Comfrey; for yin deficiency complicated with blood stasis, add Rhizoma anemarrhenae,Cortex phellodendri;for both qi and yin deficiency complicated with blood stasis,add Astragalus, Heterophylla;for damp-heat complicated with blood stasis,add Scutellaria baicalensis,Lalang Grass Rhizome.
Prednisone Acetate Tablets are necessary for serious HSPN in controlled group,the initial dosage is 2mg/kg/d(maximum to 30mg,4 weeks),continue to reduce the dosage until discontinued（Reduce the dosage at the rate of 5mg every other day in 4-8 weeks，then reduce the dosage at the rate of 5-10mg per week in 8-12weeks）
In controlled group, Benazepril Hydrochloride Tablets are used for both the light and serious type with the dosage of 5-10mg/d(10mg/d for children with weight above 30kg) ,12 weeks in total.
In controlled group,Low Molecular Weight Heparin Calcium Injection are used for both the light and serious type with the dosage of 100u/kg/d by hypodermic injection for 2 weeks
In controlled group,Dipyridamole Tab 25 MG are used for both the light and serious type of HSPN with the dosage of 3mg/kg/d ,3 times a day,12 weeks in total.
In controlled group,take a potential necessary for patients who come to the hospital of TCM to take traditional Chinese medicine in consideration, we add the traditional Chinese medicine placebo in controlled group.
Light HSPN:1.Glycosides Of Tripterygium Wilfordii Hook(GTW): initial dosage is 1.5mg/kg/d(4 weeks),continued with 1mg/kg/d(8 weeks),12weeks in total. Severe HSPN:1.GTW:the initial dosage is 2mg/kg/d(2 weeks), continued with 1.5mg/kg/d(2 weeks) and 1mg/kg/d(8 weeks); 12weeks in total. On the above base,Sulfotanshinone Sodium Injection(1mg/kg/d,2weeks) and Qingrezhixue granules(a nosocomial preparation) combined with Chinese herbs(12weeks) based on TCM syndrome differentiation are taken at the same time.
Light HSPN:1.Lotensin: 5-10mg/d,12weeks; 2.Low Molecular Weight Heparin(LMWH):100u/kg,2weeks;3.Dipyridamole:3mg/kg/d,Tid,12weeks.4.Chinese medicine placebo,12weeks. Severe HSPN:Add pednisone on the treatment of Light HSPN,and gradually reduce the dosage in 12 weeks,the initial dosage is 2mg/kg/d(maximum to 30mg,4 weeks),continue to reduce the dosage until discontinued（Reduce the dosage at the rate of 5mg every other day in 4-8 weeks，then reduce the dosage at the rate of 5-10mg per week in 8-12weeks）
Inclusion Criteria: Clinical diagnosis of Henoch-Schönlein Purpura Nephritis Disease Age form 2-18 years old Disease onset within 2 months Exclusion Criteria: Nephritis not causing by HSPN Being alergic to the medicine in the treatment No compliance
