ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the changes of serum amyloid A (SAA) ,C reactive protein (CRP) ,procalcitonin(PCT) and trypsin activated peptide(TAP) in the patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) ,and to evaluate the above 4 indexes combined detection in the diagnosis and treatment of AP .Methods The levels of SAA ,CRP ,PCT and TAP were detected in 21 cases of severe AP (SAP) and 49 cases of mild AP(MAP) .The detection results were compared with those in the healthy control group (n=50) .Re‐sults The levels of SAA ,CRP ,PCT and TAP had statistical differences between the patients with acute stage of SAP and MAP groups with the healthy control group(P<0 .01);the levels of SAA ,CRP ,PCT and TAP in the SPA group were significantly high‐er than those in the MAP group with statistical difference(P<0 .01) .The diagnostic efficiency of 4‐index combined detection was higher than that of single index detection .Conclusion The combined detection of SAA ,CRP ,PCT and TAP is conducive to early diagnosis and disease condition judgement of AP ,and has an important significance to the diagnosis and treatment of SAP .
ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the fluctuations of homoeysteine(Hcy),endothelin(ET),mononitrogen monoxide(NO),folic acid(FA) and vitamine Bi2 (VitB_(12)) in the plasma of patients suffered from acute cerebral infarction and to investigate the clinical significance.Methods 140 blood specimens from cerebral infarction patients and 61 specimens from healthy individuals were obtained in this study and a series of items of Hey,ET,NO,FA and VitB_(12) were detected.Results The Hey [(17.15±4.63) μmol/L]and ET [(32.62±18.76) μmol/L]were increased in acute cerebral infarction(ACI) group compared with that in control group[(10.12±2.62) μmol/L,(20.08±13.38) μmol/L respectively]and the difference was significant (P＜0.01).The levels of NO [(39.82±7.26) μmol/L],FA [(7.54±4.01) ng/ml]and VitB_(12) [(247.70±119.85) pg/ml]were decreased compared with control group [(60.22±6.28) μmol/L,(10.08±3.86) ng/ml,(411.52±194.58) pg/ml respectively]and the differences significant (P＜0.01).Gender and hypertension affected the values of Hey.Conclusions Hcy and ET were increased while NO,FA and VitB_(12) were decreased in acute cerebral infarction.Hcy had positive correlation with ET and negative correlation with FA and VitB_(12).
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the possibility of united test of CA72-4, CA19-9 in gastric juice in diagnosis of gastric carcinoma.Methods The gastric juices were respectively obtained by liquid collector made by ourselves through gastreecope in study group(30 cases of gastric cancer) and control groups(32 cases of gastratrophia,30 cases of gastric ulcer,and 30 cases of chronic superficial gastritis).The gastric juice content of CA72-4, CA19-9 were determined synchronously with ES-300 auto-enzymoimmuno-analyzer.Results The gastric juice contents of CA72-4,CA19-9 were (83.54±143.70) U/ml and (47.05±29.64) U/ml, and the positive rates were 76.66% and 43.33% in study group,respectively,and all higher than those of control groups(P <0.01 ).The level of CA72-4 was high in two of 32 patients with gastratrophia,and one was diagnosed as gastric carcinoma after nine months follow-up.Conclusion The combined detection of CA72-4 and CA19-9 provide main evidence for the diagnosis of gastric cancer and diagnostric significance of advanced gastric cancer.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To explore the role of plasma endothelin (ET) in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and its change after nimodipine treatment.METHODS:Sixty-six patients with ACI were randomly divided into 2 groups according to blood pressure:hypertension ACI group 35 patients［M 20,F 15;age (65± s 11) a］ and pure ACI group 31 patients［M 17,F 14; age (62±10) a］.Plasma ET was measured by radioimmunoassay and compared with 27 healthy individuals.Among them,42 patients（hypertension ACI group 25 patients，pure ACI group 17 patients） with ACI were given nimodipine 4 mg, iv,gtt, qd, for 2 wk and measured ET again. RESULTS:Plasma ET in 2 groups were (144±42) ng*L-1 and (72±35) ng*L-1 respectively, and that were (94±55) ng*L-1 and (60±37) ng*L-1 respectively after treatment with nimodipine, but was still higher than that in healthy individuals (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The level of plasma ET was associated with blood pressure and the severity of disease. ET is closely related with ACI. Nimodipine reduces the plasma ET while nerve function default degree is effectively improved.
