Clinicopathological analysis of IgA nephropathy combined with hyperuricemia by CAI Wei-cheng, HAN Shu-lian, GUO Xiao-dan, LING Yi-sheng, LIU Jun-lan, GUAN Tian-jun

“…Objective To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of IgA nephropathy combined with hyperuricemia in order to reveal the clinical significance of IgA nephropathy associated with hyperuricemia.Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 270 patients with IgA nephropathy diagnosed by renal biopsy from June 2006 to December 2012.The patients were divided into the two groups:IgA nephropathy patients with or without hyperuricemia.The sex,age,systolic blood pressure,24-h urine protein,serum uric acid,and serum creatinine were measured.All patients underwent renal pathological examination and Lee’s classification.A comparative analysis of clinical manifestations and renal pathological injuries was performed between the two groups,and the pathological parameters of patients with normal renal function were further analyzed.Results The prevalence of hyperuricemia in patients with IgA nephropathy was 25.19%.The systolic blood pressure,24-h urine protein and serum creatinine level were higher in the hyperuricemia group than in the normal group.The renal pathological changes in the hyperuricemia group were more severe than those in the normal uric acid group.The proportion of renal tubular interstitial lesions and renal artery lesions in the hyperuricemia group was higher than in the normal renal function group.The proportion of renal artery stenosis and renal tubular interstitial chronic lesions in the patients with hyperuricemia group was higher than in normal serum uric acid group.Conclusions The clinical manifestations and renal pathological changes of patients with IgA nephropathy combined with hyperuricemia are more serious than those with normal serum uric acid level,in particular,the effects of renal tubular interstitial lesions and renal vascular lesions were more obvious,and the clinical prognosis is not good.Timely and effective treatments are needed.…”

Hardcoded vulnerability detection approach for IoT device firmware by Chao MU, Xin WANG, Ming YANG, Heng ZHANG, Zhenya CHEN, Xiaoming WU

“…With the popularization of IoT devices, more and more valuable data is generated.Analyzing and mining big data based on IoT devices has become a hot topic in the academic and industrial circles in recent years.However, due to the lack of necessary detection and protection methods, many IoT devices have serious information security risks.In particular, device hard-coded information is closely related to system encryption and decryption, identity authentication and other functions, which can provide confidentiality protection for core data.Once this information is exploited by malicious attackers, serious consequences such as sensitive information leakage, backdoor attacks, and unauthorized logins will occur.In response to this problem, a multi-type character recognition and positioning scheme was designed and a hard-coded vulnerability detection method in executable files was proposed based on the study of the characteristics of hard-coded vulnerabilities in IoT devices.The proposed method extracted the firmware of IoT devices and filtered all executable files as the source to be analyzed.Then, a solution to identify and locate three types of hard-coded characters was provided.Further, the reachability of the function, where the hard-coded character was located, was analyzed according to the function call relationship.Meanwhile, the instruction heterogeneity was mitigated by an intermediate representation (IR) model.The character and parameter hard-coded values was obtained through a data flow analysis approach.A symbolic execution method was devised to determine the trigger conditions of the hard-coded vulnerabilities, and then the vulnerability detection result was output.On the one hand, the proposed method introduced the method of symbolic execution based on the use of the intermediate representation model, which eliminated the dependency of instruction architecture and reduces the false positive rate of vulnerabilities; On the other hand, this method can integrate characters, files, and cryptographic implementation to realize the different characteristics of three types of hard-coded characters, which increased the coverage of vulnerability detection and improves the versatility of the detection method.The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively detect three types of hard-coded vulnerabilities of characters, files and cryptographic implementation in various IoT devices, and has good detection accuracy, which can provide certain guidance for the deployment of subsequent security protection technologies.…”
