ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate he significance of the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio(NLR)and the red blood cell(erythrocyte)distribution width(RDW)in distinguishing between simple and complex febrile seizures and evaluate the diagnostic values of NLR and RDW in febrile seizures. Methods Totally,100 patients aged between 6 months and 5 years diagnosed with febrile seizure were admitted to the emergency department of the hospital.Complete blood count obtained from the peripheral blood samples collected from the patients at admis-sion were evaluated. Results The average values of NLR for simple and complex seizure groups were 2.16 ± 1.26 and 3.62 ± 1.51 respectively.The average values of RDW for simple and complex seizure groups were 15.04 ± 1.73 and 16.89 ± 1.44,respectively.Using receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC),the sensitivity and specificity were 65.5% and 66.2%,respectively,with the area under the curve[AUC]of 0.670 when the cut-off value was 2.52 for NLR,and they were 62.1% and 59.3%,respectively,with AUC of 0.619 when the cut-off value was 16.47 for RDW. Conclusion NLR and RDW may provide clinicians with an insight into differentiation between simple and complex febrile seizures,however,we need much better diagnostic value to classify the febrile seizures
ABSTRACT
Intestinal flora can participate in and influence the physiological function and disease process of the organism as part of the host .The symbiotic relationship between intestinal flora and the host is the result of species′evolution over millions of years .Immunity system , which is complex and includes multiple influencing factors , is the necessary defense system that runs through human life .Among them, the intestinal flora plays an important role in maintaining the steady state of human immunity system .In this paper, the relationship between intestinal flora and immune system disease is briefly described , in order to deepen the understanding for medical workers and researchers , and provide references for the prevention , treatment and prognosis of the disease .
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of C‐reactive protein(CRP) for diagnosing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) to dig a new marker for COPD diagnosis .Methods A total of 199 cases of COPD ,159 cases of pulmonary malig‐nant tumor and 115 individuals undergoing the physical examination were collected .The whole blood CRP level was detected in 3 groups and the detection results were compared among 3 groups .The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was drawn . Then the sensitivity ,specificity and Youden′s index(YI) were calculated to find the cut‐off value of diagnosis .Results Compared with the individuals undergoing healthy physical examination ,the CRP level in the COPD patients and the patients with pulmonary malignant tumor was significantly increased ,the difference was statistically significant(P<0 .05);the area under ROC curve(AUC) was 0 .768 ,the maximal YI was 0 .418 ,the sensitivity and specificity were 64 .7% and 77 .1% respectively ,the corresponding cut‐off value was 49 .75 mg/L .Conclusion CRP has a certain diagnostic value and can serve as a new index of COPD diagnosis .
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the diagnosis and clinical application of fibrin monomer(FM)and D-dimer(D-D)in gerontal pa-tients with malignancy tumor.Methods FM and D-D were detected in 29 gerontal patients with malignant tumor,20 gerontal pa-tients with non-malignant tumor,24 gerontal healthy controls and 30 non-gerontal healthy controls by immunoturbidimetry(ITM). Results The testing results of FM and D-D in the tumor patients were significantly higher than those in the healthy controls(P 0.05).There was no statistical difference in FM between the gerontal healthy examination and non-gerontal healthy examination(P >0.05).There was statistical difference in D-D between the gerontal healthy examination and non-gerontal healthy examination (P < 0.05 ).Conclusion FM and D-D could be used as the indicators for diagnosing tumor thrombus in gerontal patients with tumor.However,D-D has meaningless in diagnosing tumor thrombus.In the diagnosis of tumor thrombus in gerontal patients with malignant tumor,the combination of FM and D-D should be needed.
