Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem disease with protean manifestations. Lupus pancreatitis is the second most common disease associated with SLE-related acute abdomen. Although acute pancreatitis is rare it is clinically important because this condition can be life threatening if not treated promptly. Here, we report a case of a 10-year-old girl who developed SLE-associated pancreatitis after steroids therapy that was subsequently complicated by fungal septicaemia. Her clinical symptoms and signs markedly improved after administration of glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide.

El lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) es una enfermedad multisistémica con manifestaciones proteicas. La pancreatitis lúpica es la segunda enfermedad más frecuentemente asociada con el abdomen agudo en relación con el LES. Si bien la pancreatitis aguda es rara, es clínicamente importante porque puede ser potencialmente mortal si no se trata de inmediato. En este artículo, describimos el caso de una niña de 10 años que desarrolló pancreatitis asociada a LES después del tratamiento con corticoesteroides que se complicó posteriormente debido a septicemia fúngica. Los signos y síntomas clínicos mejoraron marcadamente después de la administración de glucocorticoides y ciclofosfamida.

The polystyrene sulfonic acid resin catalysts were fabricated, containing elements of Cl and Mg through oxidization and impregnation, and they were characterized by EDS, FT-IR spectra, Py-IR spectra, UV spectra, XPS and TGA to investigate their physiochemical properties. The catalytic performances of these catalysts were examined in the esterification reaction of succinic acid with n-butanol, and the catalytic results showed that modified resins exhibited the highest catalytic activity and achieved a high yield of dibutyl succinate (91.6%) in addition, the modified resin generated new Lewis acid sites and showed significantly higher thermal stability. The experimental results demonstrated that the Mg2+ coordinated with a sulfonic acid group to form stable active sites, which effectively decreased the deactivation caused by the thermal degradation of sulfonic acid. Moreover, the monomer structures of polystyrene sulfonic acid resin and modified polystyrene sulfonic acid resin have been modelled using B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) approximation.
