ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the changes of serum CRP and SAA in patients with comprehensive assessment COPD group,and correlation with lung function.Methods We selected 139 cases patients with COPD.According to the guide of GOLD 2015,the COPD patients were divided into group A (23 cases),group B (19 cases),group C (51 cases) and group D (46 cases).Analysis of the correlation between serum CRP and SAA level and injury severity of pulmonary function was perforined.Results Compared with group A,C,the group D had significance and had the highest level of serum CRP,SAA (P ＜ 0.05).Group B was higher than group C.The Lung function damage degree was negatively correlated with the level of CRP and SAA in patients with COPD (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The change of the concentration of serum CRP,SAA will contribute to the evaluation of patients with COPD and provide objective basis for the treatment and management of patients with COPD.Detection of CRP,SAA is helpful to evaluate the damage degree of lung function.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of serum amyloid protein(SAA),C-reactive protein (CPR)and SAA/CRP ratio in early diagnosis of influenza A in children. Method SAA,CRP,SAA/CRP ratio and serum white blood cell(WBC)count were measured in 417 children. One hundred and thirty-nine children were diagnosed with Influenza A and were enrolled in the influenza A group ,and the other 278 healthy children were enrolled in the control group from April 2016 to June 2016. The values of the screened biomarkers for diagno-sis of influenza A were assessed by ROC curve analysis. Results Levels of SAA,CRP and SAA/CRP ratio in the influenza A group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.001,respectively). The areas un-der the ROC curve of SAA and SAA/CRP ratio for the diagnosis of influenza A were higher than 0.7(P<0.001). The optimal cut-off values of SAA and SAA/CRP ratio for the diagnosis of Influenza A were 10.500 mg/L and 6.165,respectively. The corresponding sensitivities of the optimal cut-off values for the diagnosis of influenza A were 85.5% and 55.4%,respectively,and the corresponding specificities were 96.8% and 91.4%,respectively. Conclusion Measurement of SAA and SAA/CRP ratio are valuable biomarkers for clinical in early diagnosis of in-fluenza A and SAA has a better diagnostic performance than CRP.
