Expression Level and Clinical Significance of Bile Acid Profile in Patients with Early Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease / 医学研究杂志

Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance of bile acid spectrum levels in patients with early non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).Methods A total of 149 patients with early NAFLD(NAFLD group)and 140healthy controls(healthy group)who underwent physical examinations at the Physical Examination Center,the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Uni-versity School of Medicine from July 2021 to February 2022 were selected,and liver function test,bile acid spectrum detection and con-trolled attenuation parameter test were performed on all patients,the differences in liver function and bile acid spectrum between the two groups were compared,and the risk factors of early NAFLD and the efficacy of bile acid subgroups in diagnosing early NAFLD were ana-lyzed.Results The levels of aspartate transaminase(AST),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(r-GT)in the NAFLD group were higher than those in the healthy group(P<0.05).cholic acid(CA),glycocholic acid(GCA),tauro-cholic acid(TCA),glycodeoxycholic acid(GDCA),chenodeoxycholic acid(CDCA),glycochenodeoxycholic acid(GCDCA),tauro-chenodeoxycholic acid(TCDCA),glycineursodeoxycholic acid(GUDCA),tauroursodeoxycholic acid(TUDCA)and taurolithocholic acid(TLCA)were higher than those in the healthy group(P<0.05),and the level of lithocholic acid(LCA)was lower than the healthy group(P<0.05);Logistic regression analysis showed that AST,GCA,TCA,CDCA,GCDCA,TCDCA,GUDCA and TLCA were inde-pendent risk factors in NAFLD patients;receiver operating characteristic curve shows that AST,GCA,TCA,CDCA,GCDCA,TCDCA,GUDCA and TLCA could predict the occurrence of NAFLD to a certain extent,among which AST had the best comprehensive prediction effect(AUC =0.750),and GCA had the highest sensitivity(77.2%),and TLCA had the strongest specificity(88.6%);the levels of GCA and TCA in the severe group were significantly higher than those in the mild group(P<0.05),the concentration of serum TCA in-creased gradually increased with the aggravation of NAFLD severity,and there was a linear correlation between them(r = 0.52,P<0.05).Conclusion The bile acid spectrum components of patients with early NAFLD was changed,mainly primary bile acids and con-jugated bile acids.The level of TCA can not only predict the occurrence of NAFLD to a certain extent,but also has a positive correlation with the severity of NAFLD,which is expected to become a serological marker of NAFLD.

Construction of an appropriate technology catalogue for general practice based on Delphi method / 预防医学

Objective @#To construct an appropriate technology catalogue for general practice based on Delphi method,and to provide reference for promoting appropriate techniques and training general practitioners.@*Methods @#The catalogue was briefly constructed based on literature reviews and the data of the top twenty diseases diagnosed in out-patient department of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital and two community health service centers in Hangzhou. Two-round Delphi consultation was conducted by fourteen general practitioners coming from upper first-class hospitals and community hospitals. The final catalogue was established according to evaluation of the degree of involvement,authority coefficient and Kendall's W values of the fourteen specialists.@*consultations @#Results Of the fourteen specialists,nine had bachelor's degrees and five had master's degrees or above;twelve were deputy chief physicians or chief physicians and two were physicians. They were engaged in general practice for 17.21 years in average. The positive coefficients of the two rounds of were both 100.00%. The authority coefficient of the specialists was 0.891. After the first round of consultation,the W values for importance and feasibility of 6 first-class indicators were 0.170 and 0.244,and the ones of 56 second-class indicators were 0.236 and 0.250（all P<0.05）. Six of second-class indicators were excluded because their coefficent of variation（CV）for importance and feasibility were more than 0.25. After the second round of consultation,the W values for importance and feasibility of 6 first-class indicators were 0.245 and 0.247,and the ones of 50 second-class indicators were 0.355 and 0.370（all P<0.05）. The CV for each indicator was less than 0.25. Finally,an instructional catalogue was defined,consisting of 6 first-class indicators（basic diagnosis and treatment skills,first aid skills,symptomatic diagnosis and treatment skills,chronic disease management skills,common disease diagnosis and treatment skills,and common manipulative skills）and 50 second-class indicators.@*Conclusion @#The degrees of involvement,authority and consistency of the specialists were relatively high. The catalogue of appropriate technology for general practitice had good reliability and feasibility,which was worthy of promotion and application.

Efficacy and safety study on infliximab with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs in refractory psoriatic arthritis / 中华风湿病学杂志

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and safety of infliximab combined withdiseasemodifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis.MethodsThis was an openlabeled trial.All subjects fulfilled the Moll and Wright criteria for definite PsA and-had poor response to DMARDs.The patients received combined infliximab and DMARDs.Infliximab 3 mg/kg was infused at weeks 0,2,6,14.After week 14,patients received infliximab 3 mg/kg every 8 weeks.The primary end point was the improvement of psoriatic arthritis response criteria(PsARC) response.The secondary end point was the percentage of patients who had 20％ improvement of modified American College of Rheumatology (ACR20)response.Parameters for efficacy for psoriatic rash was defined as the proportion of modified 50％ and 75％improvement of psoriasis area and severity index scores (PASI).All adverse reactions in the whole observation period were recorded.Chi-square test and repeated measurement data analysis of variance were used for the statistical analysis.ResultsTwenty-one patients completed the 14 weeks treatment.Five patients completed 26-104 weeks treatment,including 2 cases for 104 weeks.At week 14,the percentage of patients achieving PsARC was 84％,the percentage of patients achieving ACR20 was 77％,and the percentage of patients achieving PASI 50 was 76％.At week 14,tender joint counts,swollen joint counts,patient's assessment of pain,patient's global assessment(PGA),physician's global assessment,dermatology life quality index (DLQI),health assessment questionnaire(HAQ) were significantly improved compared with base-line(P＜0.05).Five patients received 26-104 weeks follow-up,including 2 cases for 104 weeks,four patients was stable,the rash and joint symptoms of 1 patient recurred at 104 weeks.The most frequently occurred adverse reactions were upper respiratory tract infection and skin as well as appendage damages.The second most common adverse effect was elevation of liver enzymes.ConclusionThe infliximab combined with DMARDs is effective and safe for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis.
