RESUMO
Objective To observe the levels of serum complement C 1q, C3, C4 and factor B in different phases during normal pregnancy;To evaluate the diagnostic value and the predictive value of serum complement C1q, C3, C4 and factor B in preeclampsia (PE).Methods Three groups of subjectes were enrolled from January 2017 to March 2018 in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology , Peking University Third Hospital.(1) 30 pregnant women in each group at 8-14 weeks, 20-26 weeks and 28-36 weeks were retrospectively selected , and the serum levels of complement C 1q, C3, C4 and B factors were measured and compared.(2)Selecting 17 cases of early-onset mild PE, 47 cases of early-onset severe PE, 24 cases of late-onset mild PE, 27 cases of late-onset severe PE, and 30 normal pregnant cases of the same gestational stage as early-onset /late-onset controls , through ANOVA analysis and comparison between two groups , this study evaluated the diagnostic value of serum complement C 1q, C3, C4 and factor B in PE.(3)To evaluate the predictive effect in PE, it analyzed serum C1q and factor B levels of pregnant women at 20-26 gestation weeks through prospective nested case-control study of 214 cases.Results The levels of serum C1q remained stable in the whole pregnancy .The levels of C3 and factor B increased at the early stage of pregnancy and remained stable after the middle stage .C4 increased early in pregnancy and then remained stable.Compared with the control group , the levels of serum C1q in all four types of PE patients were significantly decreased ( median: 169 mg/L, 161 mg/L, 165 mg/L, 163 mg/L;early-onset, late-onset control group:187 mg/L, 194 mg/L;U=130.500, 426.500, 159.500, 130.500, all P<0.05).Serum C3 levels of all the other three types of PE patients were significantly lower than those of the control groups (median:1170 mg/L, 1323 mg/L, 1223 mg/L;early-onset, late-onset control groups: 1438 mg/L, 1434 mg/L;U =379.000, 246.000, 160.000, all P <0.05 ), except for the early-onset mild PE (1275 mg/L).Serum C4 levels of patients with early/late onset severe PE were significantly lower than those of the control groups ( median: 140 mg/L, 142 mg/L;early-onset, late-onset control groups:223 mg/L, 235 mg/L;U =329.500, 136.500, both P <0.001 ) .Serum factor B levels showed no statistical difference among 3 early on-set groups or among 3 late on-set groups ( early-onset group median:332 mg/L,318 mg/L,early-onset control group 312 mg/L;late-onset group median:316 mg/L,314 mg/L, late-onset group 303 mg/L;χ2 =5.990, 1.77, all P>0.05).33 (15.4％) cases developed PE out of 214 pregnant women with PE risk factors .Compared to those who didn′t develop PE , it showed no statistical difference of serum C1q, C3, C4, and factor B levels at 20-26 gestational weeks of the women who subsequently developed PE ( C1q:175 mg/L vs.184 mg/L; C3:1523 mg/L vs.1467 mg/L; C4:230 mg/L vs.229 mg/L;FB:344 mg/L vs.320 mg/L;U=2090.000, 1575.000, 2058.500, 1362.000, all P>0.05).Compared to those of the healthy pregnant controls , it showed no statistical difference of serum C1q, C3 and C4 levels of 20-26 gestational weeks of the women who subsequently developed PE (C1q:175 mg/L vs.190 mg/L; C3:1523 mg/L vs.1428 mg/L; C4:230 mg/L vs.227 mg/L; U=353.000, 395.000, 493.500, all P >0.05),while it showed statistical difference (344 mg/L vs.306 mg/L;U=233.500, P=0.007) for factor B.Conclusions Serum C1q level of PE patients significantly decreased, which can be used as potential indicators of PE diagnosis , but serum C1q, C3, C4 level of 20-26 gestational weeks cannot predict risk of PE .Factor B cannot serve as serum index of PE diagnosis , but its serum levels at 20-26 gestational weeks werer higher than those of normal pregnant controls , factor B may be a potential predictor , but need further verification .
RESUMO
Objective To investigate on the gender and age distribution characteristics of serum lipid levels among apparently healthy adult population in Beijing and analyse its related risk factors .Methods This is a prospective study.1 712 healthy individuals between 18 and 79 years old were recruited from medical examination center of Peking University Third Hospital .By strict exclusion criteria , 951 healthy individuals (429 males and 522 females) were included in our study.A calibrated automatic biochemical analyzer was used to measure TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, ApoA1, ApoB concentrations in serum.Test results were stratified by gender , age, related risk factors, and statistically analysed.Two groups of normally disthibuted data were compared using t test;multiple groups of data were compared using variance analysis . Results Results for TC (t=4.013, P<0.050), HDL-C(t=9.162, P<0.05) and ApoA1( t=8.225, P<0.05) appear generally higher in women than in men .On the contrary, males had greater levels of TG (Z=3.119, P<0.05) compared to females.There was an obvious increasing trend in TC ( F=47.984, P<0.05), TG(Chi square =146.616, P<0.05), LDL-C(F=46.024, P <0.05), non-HDL-C(F =45.027, P<0.05) and ApoB levels(F=52.020, P<0.05), as well as peaked in the 60-69 age group, decreased in 70-70 years old.The population of beneath the bachelor-degree had greater levels of ApoB ( t=5.989, P<0.05), LDL-C(t=4.445, P<0.05), TC(t=2.885, P<0.05), non-HDL-C(t=4.332, P<0.05) and TG(Z=3.346, P<0.05) compared to the group of bachelor degree or above .Meanwhile, The levels of TC(t=8.273, P<0.05), HDL-C(t=3.346, P<0.05), LDL-C(t=5.768, P<0.05), non-HDL-C(t=7.213, P<0.05), ApoA1(t=3.683, P<0.05), ApoB(t=6.267, P<0.05), TG(Z=5.626, P<0.05) of the population lived in urban area were higher than rural areas .Interestingly, the concentration of ApoA1(t=3.238, P<0.05), HDL-C( t=6.011, P<0.05) and TC(t=2.712, P<0.05) were much higher in the population of mental worker than the manual worker .BMI and waistline positively correlated with serum TG(rs=0.379, 0.443, P<0.01), TC(rs =0.160, 0.176, P<0.01), LDL-C(rs =0.238, 0.263, P <0.01), ApoB (rs =0.326, 0.371, P <0.01) and non-HDL-C(rs =0.304, 0.336, P<0.01) respectively, but negatively correlated with HDL-C(rs =-0.358, -0.386, P<0.01) and ApoA1 ( rs =-0.203, -0.209, P <0.01 ) .Conclusions The study obtained the distribution of lipid levels among apparently healthy a dult population in Beijing .It may offer objective basis for clinical risk assessment of ASCVD , and guid the clinician to choose the optimal individualized treatment .
RESUMO
Objective To reproduce and validate the hexokinase reference method for glucose detection and compare other 5 routine glucose kits with this reference method. Methods The CDC hexokinase reference method for glucose detection was established and the performance was validated through testing a standard reference material (SRM) and participating in the IFCC ring-trial for reference laboratories for glucose evaluation. The CLSI EP 9-A2 protocol was used to compare the 5 routine glucose kits with the hexokinase reference method. Forty serum samples were analyzed by 5 routine kits and the hexokinase reference method. Results When SRM 965a was determined by the reference method,the bias of level 2 and level 3 were 0. 93%, -0. 23% respectively. The results for IFCC ring trial were within the accepted range. For the 5 routine kits, the confidence intervals of the predictive bias at the medical decision point Xc (Xc = 6. 11 mmol/L) were all within the range of defined acceptable error (10%) and the range of biological variation bias (6.9%). Conclusions The hexokinase reference method for serum glucose was reproduced in our lab. The serum glucose results measured with 5 routine kits were different from results detected with the reference method, but the bias was acceptable,and it will not affect the detection results.
RESUMO
Objectives This study was designed to observe the correlation of the levels of serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) between the 3rd day after acute myocardial infarction(AMI) and after 3 months of left ventricular remodeling(LV remodeling) and to establish the predictive levels of NT-proBNP,hs-CRP for LV remodeling after AMI.Methods The blood samples from 106 patients with the first AMI and echocardiography were examined on the 3rd day and after 3 month.LV remodeling was estimated by the changes of left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV) during the 3rd day and after 3 month.Based on the change of LV remodeling,the 106 patients were divided into two groups:LV remodeling group(defined as the change rate of LVEDV more than 20%) and non-LV remodeling group.Results The correlation coefficients of the change of LVEDV were 0.706 for serum NT-pro BNP and 0.596 for hs-CRP.With a cutoff value of 0.20,the area under the ROC curve(AUCs) was(0.892) for NT-proBNP and 0.825 for hs-CRP.There was no statistically difference between NT-proBNP and hs-CRP.The ROC plot indicated that NT-proBNP was superior to hs-CRP for predicting LV remodeling.Conclusion The level of serum NT-proBNP appropriately reflects LV remodeling after AMI and shows more efficacious than the level of serum hs-CRP.The level of serum NT-proBNP on the 3rd day after AMI and LV remodeling were positively correlated with the level after 3 months.
