ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation rs2272087 polymorphism of STATS gene and asthma.Methods The polymerase chain reaction PCR- SBT technique was used to determine rs2272087 polymorphism in asthma and control group.Results The genotype of AA,AG and GG of rs2272087 were 0.600,0.412 and 0.167 in asthma group,and 0.430,0.200,0.367 in control group,respectively.The frequency of allele A and G was 0.903 and 0.344 in asthma group,and 0.656,0.970 in control group,respectively.There was significant difference in two groups(x2 =9.40,P ＜0.01 ;x2 =11.58,P ＜0.01 ).Conclusions The rs2272087 polymorphism of STAT5 gene may be an important candidate gene for asthma.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the significance of the prognosis assessment by acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE Ⅱ ),sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score,clinical pulmonary infection score(CPIS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) score in the patients of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Methods The clinical data of 68 cases with VAP in the ICU or RICU were studied. APACHE Ⅱ , SOFA and MODS scores on admission and APACHE Ⅱ , SOFA, CPIS and MODS scores on the first 24-hour of VAP diagnosis were recorded. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUROC ) and Logistic regression were used to estimate the prognostic ability by the four kinds of scoring systems. Results The APACHE Ⅱ , CPIS, MODS and SOFA scores on the first 24-hour of VAP diagnosis were significantly higher in non-survivors than those in survivors. AUROC of APACHE Ⅱ ,SOFA,MODS and CPIS respectively were 0.80,0.75,0.73,0.71. Logistic regression analysis showed that only APACHE Ⅱ＞ 18 scores on the first 24-hour of VAP diagnosis was an independent predictor of the mortality (OR: 5.7,95% CI: 1.9 - 20.0, P = 0.013). Conclusion The APACHE Ⅱ on the first 24-hour of VAP diagnosis may be a useful index in predicting progress of patients with VAP.
