Serum Cystatin C As an Early Renopathy Markers for Pregnancy-induced Hypertension / 中华高血压杂志

Objective To evaluate cystatin C(CysC)in early impairment of renal function in patients of gestational hypertension(GH).Methods Forty patients of GH,70 normotensive pregnant women(35 of early pregnany and 35 of late pregnancy)and 30 normotensive healthy women were enrolled.CysC and ?2-M were measured by particle enhanced nephelometric assay,SCr,BUN and UA were measured by biochemistry analysis.Results The level of CysC in normotensive late pregnancy subjects(1.22?0.19 mg/L)and GH patients(1.93?0.48 mg/L)were higher than that in normal healthy women(0.78?0.22 mg/L,P

Role of mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in exacerbated stage of COPD and on celluler immune system of community acquired pneumonia patients / 中华老年医学杂志

Objective To explore the relationship of pulmonary mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) infection with acute exacerbated stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and community acquired pneumonia(CAP)in the elderly,comparing different serum concentrations of IFN -? ,IL-6,TNF-? in these patients. Methods Serologic analysis through ELISA method was used to detect MP-IgM and MP-IgG to determine the presence of MP and the serum concentrations of IFN-?、IL-6、TNF-? in 30 elderly healthy subjects,39 elderly patients with acute exacerbated stage of COPD and 40 elderly patients with CAP. PCR method was also used to determine the presence of MP from the patients ,sputum. Results (1)The positive rates of MP were much higher in the COPD patients than in the CAP and healthy ones according to PCR or MP-IgM method( P
