ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the feasibility of VTQ value of spleen in noninvasive assessment of staging of liver fibrosis in patients with hepatitis B.Methods VTQ values of spleen were measured in 56 patients with hepatitis B by using ARFI technique and liver biopsy was performed.The patients were then grouped according to the stages of liver fibrosis stage.The results were analyzed by the intergroup comparison,Pearson Correlation analysis,and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve).Results There was positive association of the VTQ value with the stages of liver fibrosis,whose correlation coefficient was 0.83 (P < 0.05);There was no significant difference between the spleen VTQ value and the liver fibrosis S1 and SO (P > 0.05),whereas there were significant differences among other groups (P < 0.05).The area under the ROC curve was 0.95,the cut-off value was 2.79m/s,and the specificity and sensitivity were 81.8% and 91.7% respectively.Conclusions The VTQ value measured by ARFI technique has a better value in noninvasive diagnosis of stages of hepatitis B liver fibrosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To provide guide for prevention and cure of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis(PD) by comparing the causative organisms and clinical outcome of PD related peritonitis in younger and elderly patients in our center.Methods All patients who developed PD related peritonitis between January 2006 and December 2013 in Wuhan NO.1 hospital were included.According to their age,episodes were divided into younger patients group (< 65 years) and elderly patients group (≥65 years).The microbiology and clinical outcome of PD related peritonitis were compared,and the related risk factors of the treatment failure were analyzed.Results Three hundred and sixty-six episodes of peritonitis occurred in 258 patients during the study period.The overall rate of peritonitis was 1 episode in 76.8 patient-months.Elderly patients had higher incidence of peritonitis (1 episode every 56.4 months vs 1 episode every 88.7 months,P=0.001),higher incidence of fungus infection (9.6% vs 3.9%,P=0.026) and higher mortality (46.2% vs 14.0%,P=0.001) than that in younger patients.Cox regression analysis showed that longer duration of PD treatment and fungal peritonitis were both risk factors of the treatment failure.Conclusion Elderly patients had higher incidence of peritonitis,higher incidence of fungus infection and higher PD-related mortality than younger patients.
