RESUMEN
Objective:To study the expression and significance of microparticles (MPs), platelets microparticles (PMPs), CD41a +CD62P +PMPs from peripheral blood of patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Methods:Plasma were collected from 47 ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients and 15 healthy volunteers. The levels of MPs, PMPs, and CD41a +CD62P +PMPs in plasma of AS patients and healthy controls (HC) were detected by flow cytometry. The clinical parameters including C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI) were obtained. T test and Spearman linear correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:The levels of MPs, PMPs, CD41a + CD62P + PMPs in plasma from AS patients were higher than those in plasma from HC [(3 466±641)/μl vs (619±152)/μl, t=2.342, P=0.022; (3 059±628)/μl vs (320±143)/μl, t=2.298, P=0.025; (566±121)/μl vs (47±22)个/μl, t=2.295, P=0.025]. The levels of MPs in plasma of AS patients were positively correlated with BASDAI ( r=0.555, P=0.000 4); and the levels of PMPs in AS patients were positively correlated with BASDAI ( r=0.542, P=0.000 6) but the CD41a +CD62P +PMPs in AS patients were not correlated with BASDAI ( r=0.298, P=0.073 2). The levels of MPs in plasma from AS patients were not correlated with ESR, CRP ( r=-0.016, P=0.917; r=0.035, P=0.817); PMPs in plasma from AS patients were not correlated with ESR, CRP ( r=-0.001, P=0.996; r=0.065, P=0.671). CD41a +CD62P +PMPs in plasma of AS patients were not correlated with ESR, CRP ( r=-0.129, P=0.400; r=-0.410, P=0.789). Conclusion:There is increased expression of MPs, PMPs and CD41a +CD62P +PMPs in AS patients, which is related with disease activity. MPs, PMPs may be involved in the inflammatory response of AS.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the effects of bariatric metabolic surgery on body composition.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 66 patients with metabolic diseases who were admitted to the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2013 to December 2014 were collected. There were 42 males and 24 females, aged (40±11)years, with a range from 17 to 63 years. Of the 66 patients, 27 undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and 39 undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) were allocated into LSG group and LRYGB group, respectively. The body composition of all patients was determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at preoperation and postoperative 6 months. Observation indicators: (1) the changes of anthropometric parameters, glucolipid metabolism, body fat mass percentage (BF%) and the ratio of Android BF% and Gynoid BF% (A/G ratio) from preoperation to postoperative 6 months; (2) the changes of whole and local body composition from preoperation to postoperative 6 months; (3) analysis of the correlation between BF% and anthropometric parameters, glucolipid metabolism. (4) Follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient or hospitalization examination to detect the changes of body composition at the time of postoperative 6 month. The follow-up time was up to July 2015. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, paired-samples t test was used for intra-group comparison, and independent-samples t test when baseline data were consistency or covariance analysis when baseline data were not consistency was used for inter-group comparison. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M ( P25, P75), and comparison between groups was analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank test. The correlation test was undertaken with the Pearson bivariate analysis. Results:(1) The changes of anthropometric parameters, glucolipid metabolism, BF% and A/G ratio from preoperation to postoperative 6 months: for patients in the LSG group, the body mass, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), HbA1c, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglyceride (TG), whole BF%, arms BF%, legs BF%, trunk BF%, Android BF%, Gynoid BF% and A/G ratio at preoperation and postoperative 6 months were (102±17)kg, (37±5)kg/m 2, (118±14)cm, 1.01±0.06, (94±14)mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (137±15)mmHg, (8.1±4.2)mmol/L, 7.3%±2.4%, (1.11±0.26)mmol/L, 2.14 mmol/L(1.73 mmol/L, 2.59 mmol/L), 40%±6%, 46%±10%, 36%±8%, 42%±6%, 45%±6%, 37%±7%, 1.23±0.18 and (82±15)kg, (29±4)kg/m 2, (101±13)cm, 0.95±0.08, (76±10)mmHg, (118±16)mmHg, (7.2±1.2)mmol/L, 5.4%±0.8%, (1.26±0.32)mmol/L, 1.21 mmol/L(0.88 mmol/L, 1.55 mmol/L), 36%±8%, 41%±9%, 34%±10%, 38%±8%, 41%±8%, 35%±10%, 1.20±0.17, respectively.

(4) Follow-up: 66 patients were followed up at the time of postoperative 6 month. Conclusions:Both LSG and LRYGB significantly change body composition. LRYGB is superior to LSG in reducing trunk BF% and Android BF%. The effects of the two surgical methods on fat mass and bone mineral content are similar. LSG lead to a more significant decrease in whole muscle mass, and LRYGB lead to a more significant decrease in legs muscle mass and skeletal muscle index.
