ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the serum angiopoietin-Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) levels in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients and the relationship between AngⅡ levels and the disease severity of AP based on the new Atlanta classification criteria.@*Methods@#Seventy-seven patients with AP who were treated in the Affiliated Baiyun Hospital of Guizhou Medical University were included in this prospective study. According to the revised Atlanta classification, the modified Mashall scoring system was used to divided patients into AP with the persistent organ failure(POF) group and without POF group, and the CECT was used to divided patients into AP with pancreatic necrosis(PN) group and without PN group. The levels of AP 72 h after admission of two groups were compared with t test, and Spearman analysis was used to analyze the correlation between common severity indicators and Ang Ⅱ. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was performed to analyze the area under curve(AUC), sensitivity and specificity of Ang Ⅱ in predicting POF and PN.@*Results@#According to the modified Mashall scoring system, there were 18 patients (23.38%) in POF group and 59 patients (76.62%) in without POF group. According to CECT, 22 patients (28.57%)were in PN group and 55 patients(71.43%) in without PN group. The Ang Ⅱ of the POF and PN groups was significantly higher than those without POF and PN groups (P=0.001, 0.011) on day 1 on admission. The cut-off value was 126.44 μg/L, and the AUC, sensitivity and specificity for predicting POF were 0.739, 83.3% and 68.4%, which was significantly better than that of traditional predictive indicators, such as C-reaction protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), bedside index for severity in AP (BISAP) score and Ranson score. When the cut-off value was 130.90 μg/L, the AUC, sensitivity and specificity for predicting PN were 0.703, 77.3% and 73.6%, respectively, which was significantly better than that of all traditional single indicator. The predicted value was less than PCT and CRP 2 or 3 day after admission. In addition, the Ang Ⅱlevel 1 day after admission was closely related to the Ranson score, BISAP score, and PCT level which was commonly used indicators of AP severity.@*Conclusions@#Under the new Atlanta classification criteria, Ang Ⅱ is superior to the traditional predictive indicators commonly used for predicting POF, and is a better single biochemical indicator for predicting PN in clinic.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of serum level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),angiopoietin (Ang)-1 and Ang-2 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods Serum levels of VEGF,Ang-1 and Ang-2 were measured with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Twenty-one healthy subjects,24 osteoarthritis patients and 82 rheumatoid arthritis patients were included.We defined active and inactive group according to RA disease active score,while early active RA and late active RA group were defined on the basis of disease course.There were 28 early active patients,32 late active patients and 22 inactive patients with rheumatoid arthritis.At the same time 29 RA patients were examined with ultrasound.Synovial hypertrophy (US joint count SH,US index SH),synovial fluid(US joint count SF,US index SF),resistance index and power Doppler signal (US joint PD,TSS) were scored.The correlation was analyzed.We also detected the serum levels of VEGF,Ang-1,Ang-2,ESR,CRP and DAS28 in 25patients with active RA after 3 month regular treatment.We used one-way ANOVA to compare the differences between groups,and Wilcoxon test to compare the differences between before and after treatment.We analyzed the correlation with linear correlation or Spearman rank test.Results The serum level of VEGF [(1285 ±272) pg/ml],Ang-1 [(0.55±0.25)ng/ml] in patients with rheumatoid arthritis were higher than osteoarthritis patients [(934±80) pg/ml,(0.32±0.16) ng/ml] and normal controls [(565±115) pg/ml,(0.24±0.21) ng/ml],and the serum level of Ang-2 [(1.36±0.40) ng/ml] was higher than normal controls [(0.52±0.32) ng/ml].The serum level of VEGF [(1355±194) pg/ml] in early active patients was higher than late active patients [(1096±477) pg/ml] and inactive patients [(862±91) pg/ml].The serum level of Ang-1 in early active patients,late active patients and inactive patients with rheumatoid arthritis had no statistically significant differences.The serum level of Ang-2 in inactive patients [(2.0±2.0) ng/ml] was significantly higher than late active patients [0.9±0.8) ng/ml].The serum level of VEGF was positively correlated with US joint SH,US index SH,US joint PD,and TSS.The serum level of Ang-1 was positively correlated with US joint SH,US joint PD,and TSS.The serum level of VEGF and Ang-1 were negatively correlated with RI.The serum level of Ang-2 was not correlated with US joint SH,US index SH,US joint SF,US index SF,US joint PD,TSS and RI.In the active RA patients,the serum level of VEGF,Ang-1 and Ang-2 was positively correlated with each other.In the inactive RA patients,the serum level of VEGF,Ang-1 and Ang-2 was not correlated with each other.The serum level of VEGF and Ang-1 before treatment was slightly higher than that of after treatment,but the difference was not statistically significant.The serum level of Ang-2 after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment.ESR,CRP and DAS28 of after treatment were lower than those before treatment.Conclusion The serum VEGF and Ang-1 level could be used as useful index to reflect RA synovial thickening and angiogenesis The serum level of Ang-2 could be used as one of the efficacy indices.They may influence each other,and they may be the key factors that mediate the onset and development of RA angiogenesis and synovial inflammation.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To investigate the expression of angiopoietin-Ⅱ(Ang-Ⅱ)in primary gastric cancer and the pathological factors that influences it. METHODS: Expression of Ang-Ⅱ and VEGF were studied in 72 primary gastric cancer and adjacent normal tissue by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The significant difference of Ang-Ⅱ expression between primary tumor and adjacent normal tissue samples was observed. The correlationship between Ang-Ⅱ and VEGF expression in tumors was statistically significant. The expression of Ang-Ⅱ was related to tumor stage and vascular involvement. CONCLUSION: The results manifested that Ang-Ⅱ may play a role in regulating tumor angiogenesis.
