ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of serum cardiac fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Methods From August 2015 to July 2016, 50 patients with myocardial infarction were treated as group A, and 48 patients with chest pain caused by other factors were treated as group B, and 53 patients were selected in our hospital physical examination of patients without chest pain as C group. The levels of H-FABP, hs-CRP and cTnT were compared between the three groups. The levels of H-FABP, hs-CRP and cTnT in patients with myocardial infarction at 5 h, 10 h, 24 h and 3 d after admission were compared . Results The positive rate of serum H-FABP, hs-CRP and cTnT in group A was significantly higher than that in group B, group C[(82.00％, 41.00), 68.00％ (34/50), 76.00％ (38/50) VS 8.33％(4/48), 14.58％(7/48),10.42％(5/48) VS 0.00％(0/53),0.00％(0/53),0.00％(0/53)], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The positive rate of H-FABP and hs-CRP was higher than that of admission at 10 h, 24 h and 3 d at 5 h after admission. The positive rate of cTnT was higher than that at 5 h, 24 h and 3 d at admission (P<0.05). The positive rate of H-FABP was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Combined detection of serum H-FABP, hs-CRP and cTnT can improve the diagnostic value of myocardial infarction and reduce the misdiagnosis rate.
ABSTRACT
Purpose To explore the relationship between the change of space anterior to right portal vein and the pathological staging in liver ifbrosis/cirrhosis. Materials and Methods Plain and contrast enhanced CT scan were performed in patients with biopsy proven liver ifbrosis/cirrhosis including S1 in 17 patients, S2 in 13 patients, S3 in 15 patients, S4 in 21 patients and cirrhosis in 22 patients. Twenty subjects were included as control group. The width of anterior space of right portal vein was measured on contrast enhanced CT and correlated with ifbrosis staging. The receiver operating characteristic curve was created for cirrhosis diagnosis. Results The width of anterior space of right portal vein enlarged in patients with S3 ifbrosis to cirrhosis (P<0.05 or P<0.01). It was signiifcantly bigger in group S4 compared to other groups (P<0.01). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed significant positive correlation between the width of anterior space and liver fibrosis staging (r=0.704, P<0.01). ROC curve analysis showed the area under curve (AUC) of 0.897 with the optimum width of ≥10 mm. Conclusion The change in the space anterior to the right portal vein is positively correlated with live ifbrosis staging. CT measurement helps early diagnose and assess the severity of liver ifbrosis and cirrhosis.
