ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the diagnostic value of serum glutamyltransferase (GGT) and osteopontin (OPN) for asymptomatic secondary common bile duct stones.@*Methods@#A total of 150 gallbladder stones patients were divided into asymptomatic secondary common bile duct stones patients (common bile duct stones group) 34 cases and gallbladder stone group 116 cases. The difference of serum liver function indexes and OPN concentration between 2 groups were compared. Meanwhile, the diagnostic value of serum GGT combined with OPN was assessed by receiver operating characteristic curve.@*Results@#There were no statistical difference in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil) and direct bilirubin (DBil) between 2 groups (P>0.05). The GGT, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and OPN in common bile duct stones were significantly higher than those in gallbladder stone group: (141.57 ± 47.11) U/L vs. (77.26 ± 21.76) U/L, (150.10 ± 17.55) U/L vs. (137.65 ± 24.36) U/L and (16.21 ± 3.26) mg/L vs. (11.50 ± 3.99) mg/L, there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Logistic multivariate analysis showed that GGT, ALP and OPN were the independent risk factors of asymptomatic secondary common bile duct stones (P<0.05). The areas under curve of GGT and OPN in diagnosis of asymptomatic secondary common bile duct stones were significantly higher than ALP (P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#Serum GGT and OPN can be served as early predictors for the gallbladder stone combine with asymptomatic secondary common bile duct stones.

Logistic multivariate analysis showed that GGT, ALP and OPN were the independent risk factors of asymptomatic secondary common bile duct stones (P﹤0.05). The areas under curve of GGT and OPN in diagnosis of asymptomatic secondary common bile duct stones were significantly higher than ALP (P﹤0.05). Conclusions Serum GGT and OPN can be served as early predictors for the gallbladder stone combine with asymptomatic secondary common bile duct stones.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of alanyl glutamine (Ala-Gln) combined with octreotide in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and its effects on the serum interleukin-6 (IL-6),C reactive protein (CRP) levels and related biochemical parameters.Methods:100 cases of patients with SAP in our hospital from January 2013 to December 2016 were selected and randomly divided into two groups.The control group was treated by octreotide,while the observation group was treated by Ala-Gln combined with octreotide.The clinical effect,changes of serum IL-6,CRP,amylase (AMY),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),prealbumin (PA) and albumin (ALB) levels before and after therapy were compared between two groups.Results:On the 10th day after treatment,the overall effective rate of observation group was 88.0％ which was significantly higher than that of the control group (64.0％,P＜0.05).The serum IL-6,CRP,AMY and LDH levels of both groups on the 10th day after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment (P＜0.01).Compared with the control group,the improvement of serum IL-6,CRP,AMY,LDH levels of observation group were more significant(P＜0.01).Compared with those before treatment,the serum PA and ALB levels of both groups were significantly increased on the 10th day after treatment(P＜0.05),and the improvement of serum PA and ALB levels of observation group on the 10th day after treatment were significantly better than those of the control group(P＜0.01).Conclusion:Alanyl glutamine combined with octreotide could effectively eliminate or alleviate the symptoms and signs of patients with severe acute pancreatitis,control the inflammatory reaction,improve the level of metabolism,improve the prognosis.
