RESUMO
Objectives To analyze the changes of serum complement C1q level in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and investigate whether it is associated with lipid metabolism and glycometabolism. Methods In a cross-sectional study, the subjects were selected as the patients and healthy people who went to the second xiangya hospital of central south university from July 2017 to June 2018. A total of 152 MS patients were enrolled and another 90 healthy subjects were enrolled as control group. Anthropometry parameters such as body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured. Serum concentrations of C1q and other biochemical indexes including blood glucose (GLU), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were measured in all groups. The correlations between C1q and these parameters were analyzed by spearman's rho test and the clinical value of C1q in predicting MS was further evaluated by stepwise multiple linear regression analysis. Results MS group had higher serum C1q levels (244.34±62.66) mg/L compared with the control group (202.37±35.92) mg/L (t=-6.250, P=0.000). C1q levels (244.34±62.66) mg/L were positively associated with TG levels [2.34(1.89, 3.62)] mmol/L (r=0.245, P=0.001), TC levels (4.91±1.26) mmol/L (r=0.398, P=0.000), LDL-C levels (3.23±1.03) mmol/L (r=0.325, P=0.000) in MS group, While C1q levels (258.92±69.59)mg/L were positively associated with SBP (144.76 ± 22.94) mmHg (r=0.388, P=0.018), TG levels [2.65(1.87, 3.82)] mmol / L (r=0.482, P=0.003), TC levels (5.18±1.31) mmol/L (r=0.529,P=0.001) in MS patients with obesity. The stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that TG levels were independently correlated with serum C1q levels both in MS patients (β=0.302, P=0.000) and in MS patients with obesity (β=0.653, P=0.000) after adjusting for age, gender and other biochemical markers. Conclusions MS patients had higher C1q levels than healthy subjects and serum C1q levels were closely positive related to harmful lipid profiles. Serum TG level was an independent influencing factor of serum C1q in MS patients.
RESUMO
Objective@#To study the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu) and Mycoplasma hominis (Mh) in Changsha, and provide laboratory evidence for clinical drug use.@*Methods@#A retrospective study was conducted to analyze 53 006 specimens of suspected genital mycoplasma infection in Xiangya Second Hospital of Changsha District and Hunan Wangwang Hospital from 2010 to 2017, and to analyze the infection rate and drug resistance rate of Uu and Mh.@*Results@#From 2010 to 2017, a total of 53 006 specimens were detected, where there were 16 830 cases of Uu infection, the infection rate was 31.75%; 2 471 cases of Mh infection, the infection rate was 4.66%; and 1 071 cases of Uu and Mh mixed infection, the infection rate was 2.02%. Male Uu infection rate was 19.48%(5 989/30 749), which was lower than the female infection rate 48.71%(10 841/22 257) (χ2=5 091, P<0.001); male Mh infection rate was 3.16%(973/30 749), lower than female infection rate 6.73%(1 498/22 257) (χ2=369,P<0.001). The population of genital mycoplasma infection is concentrated between 20 and 40 years old, accounting for 71.76% (12 077/16 830). The drug resistance rates of Uu and Mh to doxycycline and minocycline were less than 2%, while the drug resistance rate to quinolones was higher; The resistance rate of Uu to macrolide antibiotics such as erythromycin, josamycin and clarithromycin were less than 2%, while the resistance rate to azithromycin, erythromycin and roxithromycin were higher, 29.74%(5 006/16 830) and 53.74%(9 045/16 830), respectively, and the resistance rate of Mh to macrolide antibiotics (except josamycin) was higher than 90%.Between 2010 and 2017, a gradually increasing resistance of ureaplasmas to azithromycin, from 3.81% (46/1 206) in 2010 to 53.15% (1 503/2 828) in 2017, and decreasing resistance to gatifloxacin and thiamphenicol were observed, from 76.78% (926/1 206) and 60.28% (727/1 206) in 2010 decreased to 34.23% (968/2 828) and 37.87% (1 071/2 828) in 2017, respectively. The resistance rate of Mh to gatifloxacin and thiamphenicol were decreased, from 68.93% (122/177) and 41.81% (74/177) in 2010 to 53.54% (159/297) and 21.21% (63/297) in 2017, respectively.@*Conclusions@#Doxycycline, minocyclinum and josamycin are good treatment options for genital mycoplasma in Changsha. The resistance rate of Uu to azithromycin is increasing, suggesting that the abuse of azithromycin is present in Changsha, and indicating that better management of antibiotics is necessary.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the relationship between the composition of vaginal microbiota and the course of cervical precancerous lesion.Methods A total of 64 vaginal swabs were collected from 22 healthy women, 18 CINⅠ patients and 24 CINⅡ/Ⅲ patients who visited Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University during July 2014 and July 2015.The Bacterial genomic DNA was extracted and the V3 and V4 hypervariable regions of 16S rRNA were amplified and high-throughput sequenced.The abundance and composition of vaginal microbiota were analyzed by Uparse, Mothur and LefSe statistical software.Results There was no significant difference in Alpha diversity index between CINⅡ/Ⅲ group(Chao:63±32;ACE:72±38;Simpson:0.70±0.27;Shannon:0.70±0.63) and control group ( Chao:48±24;ACE:54±25;Simpson:0.71±0.27;Shannon:0.65±0.58)(W=192,P=0.11;W=189,P=0.10;W=281,P=0.72;W=241,P=0.62).The ACE(85±37) and Chao(66±25) values of CINⅠgroup were significantly different from those of the control group (ACE:54±25;Chao:48±24)(W=99,P=0.006;W=113,P=0.02).At the phylum level, 78.69%(309 020/392 722) of the vaginal microbiota in the control group was Firmicutes, 16%(62 846/392 722) was Actinobacteria.Firmicutes was reduced to 64.86%(208 422/321 318) and Actinobacteria increased to 27.71%(89 040/321 318) in CINⅠgroup.The composition of vaginal microbiotain in CINⅡ/Ⅲ group was similar to those of control group.At the genus level, the composition of vaginal microbiota were similar between CINⅡ/Ⅲ group and control group, with Lactobacillus as predominant genus[71.81%(307 658/418 424)], Gardnerella[12.91%(55 299/428 424)], others such as Prevotella, atopobium were less.In the CINⅠ group, the abundance of Lactobacillus was decreased to 56.26%(180 787/321 318), Gardnerella was increased to 19.62%(63 057/321 318), and Listeria was increased to 7.7%(24 746/321 318).The composition of vaginal microbiota in the most samples was classified as CSTⅢ and CSTⅠ, with Lactobacillus inersand and Lactobacillus crispatus were dominant respectively.There was no significant difference in the composition of vaginal microbiota between the three groups(χ2=2.72, P=0.949).LEfSe analysis showed that the abundance of bacteria in CIN group and control group were varied.At the genus level, there were significant differences in the abundance of Geobacter, Atopobium and Ureaplasma (P<0.05, P<0.05, P<0.01, respectively).At the species level, there was significant difference in the abundance of Ureaplasma urealyticum serotype 9 (P<0.01).Conclusion The diversity and the composition of vaginal microbiota were similar between CIN patients and healthy women, but the abundances of some bacteria were varied, with Ureaplasma increased in patients with CIN.
RESUMO
Autoimmune encephalitis(AE)is a kind of newly discovered autoimmune disease of the central nervous system.The cause of autoimmune encephalitis is complex and symptoms are lacking in specificity.There are many difficulties in diagnosis of AE.The clinical diagnosis of AE should be combined with its clinical characteristics, the detection of AE-related autoantibodies and laboratory-related tests, electroencephalogram, head imaging, et al.AE-related autoantibody detection is more helpful in the diagnosis,some of the autoantibodies also have a strong hint of potential tumor in the body,and can help to determine the treatment and prognosis.
