ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application of combined detection of serum calcitonin(PCT),interleukin-6 (IL-6)and C reactive protein(CRP)in early diagnosis of sepsis in intensive care unit(ICU).Methods ICU ward diagnosed 89 cases of patients with early sepsis(sepsis group),fever and did not peak use of antibiotics,send blood to blood culture and detection of PCT,IL-6,CRP level,and at the same time to select 132 cases of healthy subjects(healthy control group),blood samples were collected to detect PCT,IL-6,CRP;PCT,IL-6 for the detection of electrochemical luminescence method.The detection of CRP by immunoturbidimetric method.Results ICU patients with sepsis in PCT,IL-6,CRP detection value is significantly higher than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01);combined detection sensitivity and specificity was significantly higher than that of single detection,PCT+ IL-6,PCT+ CRP,PCT+ IL-6-+-CRP sensitivity of three kinds of combined detection were 91.3 ％,90.5％ and 91.9％,the specificity was 89.5％,88.3％ and 89.4％,and accuracy were 85.5％,85.3％ and 85.6％.Conclusion Combined detection of PCT+ IL-6 + CRP or PCT+ IL-6 or PCT+CRP,is helpful to the clinical recognition of early sepsis.
ABSTRACT
PurposeTo evaluate the feasibility and clinical values of CT scan with iterative reconstruction and low radiating dose in craniocerebral trauma.Material and Methods 120 patients suffered from craniocerebral trauma were randomly assigned. All the subjects underwent CT scan using route dose of filtered back projection (FBP) and low dose of iDose (? dose and ? dose), respectively. The quartering were used to subjectively evaluate noise of imaging, skull base artifact, contrast of gyrus-white matter and lesion display in each group. Imaging noise, signal and noise rate (SNR), contrast and noise rate (CNR) of gyrus-white matter and dose length product (DLP) were compared.Results The image quality of both? iDose and ? iDose groups were lower than that of FBP group, but still met the requirement of diagnosis. The image noise of both? iDose and ? iDose groups were higher than that of FBP group (P<0.05). The SNR and CNR of both? iDose and ? iDose groups were lower than those of FBP group (P<0.05). The DLP of both? iDose and ? iDose groups were lower than that of FBP group. There was statistical difference between iDose groups and FBP group (F=2751.46,P<0.05).Conclusion Application of iDose could effectively decrease radiation dose in craniocerebral trauma. Although iDose technique has higher noise level and lower SNR and CNR, the imaging qualities and capability of displaying abnormity meet diagnosis requirement. So that iDose has clinical significance.
