ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with cryoglobulinemia.Methods:It is a cross-sectional study. The patients diagnosed with cryoglobulinemia in our hospital were enrolled from July 2017 to March 2023. The baseline information of patients, included age, gender, qualitative, and quantitative results of serum cryoglobulins, initial clinical manifestations, etiology, serum complement 3 and 4, and the renal pathological manifestations. The clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with different types of cryoglobulinemia were analyzed.Results:There were 62 patients (30.7%) with type Ⅰ cryoglobulinemia, 58 patients (28.7%) with type Ⅱ cryoglobulinemia, and 82 patients (40.6%) with type Ⅲ cryoglobulinemia enrolled in this study. Among these patients, 56 of primary cryoglobulinemia, 76 of autoimmune diseases, 29 of tumor-related diseases, and 52 of infectious diseases were observed. Clinical symptoms related to skin lesions (124 cases, 61.4%) and kidney damage (87 cases, 43.1%) were the most common initial clinical manifestations and arthralgia/arthritis (50 cases, 24.8%), peripheral neuropathy (33 cases, 16.3%), fatigue (28 cases, 13.9%), fever (23 cases, 11.4%) were also observed in some patients. The clinical symptoms varied in different types of cryoglobulinemia. 29.0% patients (18/62) with type Ⅰ had fatigue, which was higher than those with type Ⅱ (10.3%, 6/58) and type Ⅲ (4.9%, 4/82) ( P<0.05); Kidney damage occurred in 56.9% (33/58) patients with type Ⅱ and 52.4% (43/82) patients with type Ⅲ, which was higher than that in type Ⅰ patients (17.7%, 11/62) ( P<0.05); Only 4 patients (4.9%, 4/82) with type Ⅲ had peripheral neuropathy, which was lower than those with type Ⅰ (17.7%, 11/62) and type Ⅱ (31.0%, 18/58) ( P<0.05). The quantity of cryoglobulins in patients with type Ⅲ cryoglobulinemia [122 (82, 177) mg/L] was significantly lower than that in patients with type Ⅰ [695(229, 3 499) mg/L] ( P<0.001) and type Ⅱ cryoglobulinemia [350 (107, 1 874) mg/L] ( P<0.001). Complement 4 decreased in 49.0% (99/202) of patients and complement 3 decreased in 42.6% (86/202) of patients. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (36.0%, 9/25) and endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis (32.0%, 8/25) were the main renal pathological manifestations of cryoglobulin nephropathy. Conclusions:The most common clinical manifestations of cryoglobulinemia are skin and kidney damage. The clinical manifestations of patients with cryoglobulinemia vary in different types of cryoglobulins. Serum complement decreases in nearly half of cryoglobulinemia patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the distribution characteristics of MTHFR gene polymorphism of Chinese Han population in Beijing, and analyze the differences of distribution of MTHFR gene polymorphism between Beijing area and the other parts of northern China. @*Methods@#MTHFR C677T gene was detected by PCR-gold magnetic particles chromatography. The distribution characteristics of MTHFR gene polymorphism of 3 945 healthy subjects from September 2014 to May 2018 detected in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The distribution of MTHFR gene polymorphism in Chinese Han population in Beijing area was compared with the Han population of the other area from northern China by reviewing domestic and foreign literature databases. @*Results@#The frequencies of CC, CT and TT genotype of MTHFR C677T gene in the male population undergoing physical examination in Beijing were 23.3%, 50.5% and 26.2%, respectively, and the frequencies of C and T allele frequencies were 48.6% and 51.4%, respectively. The frequencies of CC, CT and TT genotype of MTHFR C677T gene in the female population were 22.7%, 49.4% and 27.9%, respectively, and the C and T allele frequencies were 47.4% and 52.6%, respectively. There was no difference in genotype frequency and allele freaaency between male and femal (P>0.05). The frequencies of CC, CT and TT genotypes and allele frequencies of MTHFR C677T gene in the population of Beijing area were significantly different from those of Heilongjiang, Jilin, Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces (P<0.01). @*Conclusion@#There was no significant difference of polymorphism distribution of MTHFR C677T gene between male and female populations in Beijing. The distinct distribution characteristics of MTHFR gene in Beijing area should be presented.
