ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasound shear wave elastography and portal vein hemodynamic parameters for chronic hepatitis and liver fibrosis.Methods:The clinical data of 48 hospitalized patients with chronic hepatitis diagnosed in Fuyang Second People's Hospital from May 2019 to July 2020 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The patients voluntarily received portal vein hemodynamics and ultrasonic shear wave elastography. According to Scheuer's method, 48 patients were classified into 5 stages of liver fibrosis, including 10 patients in S0 stage, 13 patients in S1 stage, 10 patients in S2 stage, 10 patients in S3 stage and 5 patients in S4 stage. The average velocity of portal vein, peak portal vein velocity (PVVmax), portal vein diameter (PVD), liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and Young's modulus of liver were compared. Pathological and liver biopsy was the gold standard to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of various detection methods. The normally distributed measurement data were expressed as xˉ± s, the comparison between multiple groups was performed by one-way ANOVA, and the pairwise comparison was performed by LSD-t test. Spearman method was used to analyze the correlation between liver function classification and various parameters. ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of ultrasonic shear wave elastography, portal vein hemodynamics and combined detection in predicting liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis. Results:In the staging of liver fibrosis, the LSM of the patients in the S0 stage was (5.29±0.19) kPa, and the Young's modulus of the liver was (21.65±2.35) kPa; the LSM of the patients in the S1 stage was (6.38±1.25) kPa, and the Young's modulus of the liver ( 22.89±3.19) kPa, LSM (9.76±1.33) kPa and hepatic Young's modulus (23.77±3.52) kPa in S2 group, LSM (15.44±2.44) kPa, hepatic Young's modulus (25.14±2.29) in S3 group, LSM (18.08±1.22) kPa and hepatic Young's modulus (27.94±2.58) kPa in patients with S4 stage, the differences between groups were statistically significant (F values ??were 115.47, 4.84, P values?were <0.001, 0.003), and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). The average flow velocity of patients in S0 stage was (20.56±4.21) cm/s, PVVmax (22.19±4.33) cm/s, the average flow velocity of S1 stage was (18.39±3.79) cm/s, PVVmax (20.69±3.12) cm/s, and the average of S2 stage Flow velocity (13.46±2.21) cm/s, PVVmax (16.65±2.54) cm/s, average flow velocity in S3 stage (10.56±2.85) cm/s, PVVmax (13.42±2.46) cm/s, average flow velocity in S4 stage (8.15±1.65) cm/s, PVVmax (11.89±2.89) cm/s, the difference between the groups was statistically significant (F values were 21.35, 16.96, all P<0.001), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Correlation analysis by Spearman method showed that liver function grades were negatively correlated with average flow velocity and PVVmax (r values ?were -0.75 and -0.88, respectively; all P<0.001), and were positively correlated with liver Young's modulus and LSM. (r values ??were 0.54 and 0.86, respectively; all P<0.001). According to the ROC curve analysis, the AUC predicted by ultrasonic shear wave elastography was 0.75, AUC predicted by portal vein hemodynamics predicts was 0.68, and AUC predicted by combined detection predicts was 0.94. Conclusion:The combination of portal vein hemodynamics and ultrasonic shear wave elastography has a certain diagnostic power for the assessment of chronic hepatitis and liver fibrosis, with high specificity and sensitivity.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To investigate the potential mechanism of Sophora tonkinensis in the treatment of leukemia. METHODS： The active components and their target proteins of S. tonkinensis were searched by the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine system pharmacology platform， and UniProt database and PubMed database were used to query corresponding gene names of target proteins of active components. Cytoscape 3.6.0 software was used to construct compound-target network. The genes related to leukemia were searched by DisGeNET databases， and OmicShare platform was used to screen the intersection genes of the active component targets of S. tonkinensis and leukemia disease targets. STRING database and Cytoscape 3.6.0 software were used to construct PPI network， and topological analysis was performed. GO analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed by using DAVID bioinformatics database. RESULTS： There were 13 active components and 204 target proteins in S. tonkinensis. The components and targets with high node degree included quercetin， kaempferol， PTGS2， PRSS1， CAMKK2， etc. There were 24 intersection genes between the active component target and leukemia target， including IRF1， BCL2， CYP1A1， PIM1， etc. PPI network of the above intersection genes contained 24 nodes and 142 edges， with an average node degree of 6.5 and an average medium of 0.045. The results of GO analysis showed that the biological process of the above-mentioned genes involved in apoptosis signaling pathway in vitro without ligands， negative regulation of apoptosis process， positive regulation of B cell proliferation， etc. Molecule function mainly included that protein homology activity and binding of the same protein. Cell components mainly included extracellular region， mitochondria and so on. KEGG pathway enrichment showed that above-mentioned genes were mainly associated with T cell receptor signaling pathway， JAK/STAT signaling pathway， HTLV-Ⅰ infection. CONCLUSIONS： Through JAK/STAT signaling pathway and HTLV-Ⅰ infection pathway， the active components of S. tonkinensis may act on PTGS2， PRSS1， CAMKK2 and other targets， and then play a therapeutic role on leukemia， showing the characteristics of multi-component， multi-target and multi-channel.
