ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its associated factors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 385 RA patients [including 72 (18.7%) male and 313 (81.3%) female] who received abdominal sonographic examination from August 2015 to May 2021 at Department of Rheumatology, Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital. There were 28 RA patients at 16-29 years old and 32, 80, 121, 99, 25 at 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, ≥ 70 years old, respectively. Demographic and clinical data were collected including age, gender, history of alcohol consumption, disease duration, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, RA disease activity indicators and previous medications. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the associated factors of NAFLD in RA patients. Results: The prevalence of NAFLD was 24.2% (93/385) in RA patients, 26.3% (21/80) in 40-49 age group and 33.1% (40/121) in 50-59 age group. There were 22.1% (85/385) and 3.6% (14/385) RA patients with overweight and obese, in which the prevalence of NAFLD was 45.9% (39/85) and 78.6% (11/14) respectively, which was 2.6 folds and 4.5 folds that of RA patients with normal BMI. Although there was no significant difference of age, gender and RA disease activity indicators between RA patients with or without NAFLD, those with NAFLD had higher proportions of metabolic diseases including obese (11.8% vs. 1.0%), central obesity (47.3% vs. 16.8%), hypertension (45.2% vs. 29.8%) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (24.7% vs. 12.0%), consistent with higher levels of total cholesterol [(5.33±1.31) mmol/L vs. (4.73±1.12) mmol/L], triglyceride [(1.51±1.08) mmol/L vs. (0.98±0.54) mmol/L] and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [(3.37±0.97) mmol/L vs. (2.97±0.78) mmol/L, all P<0.05]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI (OR=1.314) and triglyceride (OR=1.809) were the independent factors positively associated with NAFLD in RA patients. Conclusion: NAFLD is a common comorbidity in RA patients, especially in those with middle-aged, overweight or obese, which is associated with high BMI or high triglyceride. Screening and management of NAFLD in RA patients especially those with overweight, obese or dyslipidemia should be emphasized.

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the clinical effect between percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and retroperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy (RLP) in the treatment of renal pelvis calculus,so as to provide evidence for the treatment of renal pelvis calculus.Methods A total of 108 patients with renal pelvis calculus were selected from January 2012 to December 2016 in Zhumadian Central Hospital.The patients were divided into PCNL group (n =59) and RLP group (n =49) according to the therapeutic method.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative blood transfusion rate,operative success rate,stone clearance rate,postoperative hemoglobin reduction,postoperative analgesia time,postoperative hospitalization time and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results The success rate of operation in PC-NL group and RLP group was 94.9% (56/59) and 100.0% (49/49) respectively,there was no significant difference in the success rate of operation between the two groups (x2 =1.026,P > 0.05).The stone clearance rate in PCNL group and RLP group was 94.9% (56/59) and 98.0% (48/49) respectively,there was no significant difference in the stone clearance rate between the two groups (x2 =0.140,P > 0.05).The intraoperative blood transfusion rate in PCNL group and RLP group was 5.1% (3/59) and 2.0% (1/49) respectively,there was no significant difference in the intraoperative blood transfusion rate between the two groups (x2 =0.105,P > 0.05).There was no significant difference in operation time and postoperative analgesia time between the two groups (P > 0.05).Compared with the PCNL group,the blood loss and postoperative hemoglobin reduction were less,and the postoperative hospitalization time was shorter in the RLP group (P < 0.05).The incidence of postoperative urinary leakage,urinary tract infection and secondary hemorrhage in PCNL group was 3.4% (2/59),8.5% (5/59)and 6.8% (4/59) respectively;the incidence of postoperative urinary leakage,urinary tract infection and secondary hemorrhage in RLP group was 8.2% (4/49),4.1% (2/49) and 4.1% (2/49) respectively;there was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative urinary leakage,urinary tract infection and secondary hemorrhage between the two groups (x2 =2.975,1.064,1.811;P > 0.05).Conclusion The clinical effect of PCNL and RLP in the treatment of renal pelvis calculus is fairly,and their safety is high.However,RLP has the advantages of less intraoperative bleeding,quick postoperative recovery and short hospitalization time.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the relationship between genetic factor and prostate cancer (Pca) risk and the possible cause in it.@*METHODS@#The polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 family 17 (CYPl7) rs743572, p27 V109G and androgen receptor (AR) gene CAG repeat length in peripheral blood from 70 cases and 70 controls were detected through the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique or short tandem repeat-polymerase chain reaction technique. Then, according to the results of case-control study, the recombinant plasmids containing the wild/mutant p27 gene were constructed and transfected Pca LNcap cells. After 24 and 72 h of transfection, the cell proliferative activity was determined by MTT method, cell cycle distribution and apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, and the expression level of bcl-2, caspase-3 and p27 protein was determined by Western-blot.@*RESULTS@#In three target polymorphisms, only p27 V109G polymorphism was related to Pca risk (P = 0.030, OR = 0.202, 95% CI = 0.042-0.973). Pca risk of p27-109G allele was lower than -109V allele (P = 0.006, OR = 0.285, 95% CI = 0.110-0.737). Cells transfected with wild/mutant p27 gene both showed the higher cells apoptosis rate and the lower cell proliferative activity than mock cells (P < 0.05 or 0.01), the regulatory effect of mutant p27 on cell proliferation and apoptosis was stronger than the wild p27 (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#p27-109G allele that could cause higher p27 protein expression than -109V allele in LNcap cells, maybe is the protective factor of Pca.
