A 46-year-old female patient with Sjögren's syndrome, hypertension, and stable chronic renal insufficiency (creatinine [CR], 1.9 to 2.1 mg/dL) had a progressive worsening of renal function (CR, 5.0 mg/dL) after 11 months of chloroquine therapy (155 mg/day; cumulative dose of approximately 51 g). Light microscopy revealed nonspecific angionephrosclerosis. Electron microscopy showed accumulations of lamellated myelinoid material and occasionally also of curvilinear bodies, especially in the glomerular podocytes and to a lesser extent in vascular myothelial and endothelial cells. In the tubular system, mainly protein droplets were stored. Activity of alpha-galactosidase A was normal in isolated leukocytes (56 nmol/mg; range, 33.2 to 109 nmol/mg), ruling out Fabry's disease. Clinical, morphological, and biochemical findings were consistent with chloroquine-associated deterioration of renal function that improved considerably after discontinuation of chloroquine treatment. Adverse effects of chloroquine may aggravate preexisting renal disease. Electron microscopy is a worthwhile tool for establishing the correct diagnosis.
OBJECTIVE: The purposes of this study were to investigate effects of chloroqquine (CQ) on inhibiting the decomposition of hydrogen peroxides (HP), and to optimize composition of the tooth-bleaching agent. METHODS: According to the principle of the color-changing reaction between horse radish peroxidase and substrate, the tooth-bleaching agent made of HP was divided into four groups with different amounts of CQ. The stability of HP was observed using ELISA for 3 months. RESULTS: With the prolongation of store time, the absorbance of HP solutions containing different concentrations of CQ declined at different degrees, which showed a dependent relation between absorbance values and concentrations of CQ. Within the range of experiment concentrations of CQ, the higher the concentration of CQ was, the stronger the stability of HP was. And the duration of tooth-bleaching effects in 150.0 mg/ml of CQ was prolonged 4 to 6 times compared to that without CQ. CONCLUSION: The data indicate that CQ can inhibit the decomposition of HP. The bleaching effect of the tooth-bleaching agent which is made of HP and proper amount of CQ is satisfactory.
