RESUMO
Objective To investigate the value of heparin-binding protein(HBP) in predicting urosepsis after endoscopic lithotripsy for upper urinary tract stones.Methods From January to November 2018,635 cases of upper urinary tract stones treated by endoscopic lithotripsy in our hospital was analyzed.According to the 2014 edition Chinese Guidelines of the diagnosis and treatment of urosepsis,all patients were divided into two groups,the definite urosepsis group (n =53,8.3％) and the no urosepsis group (n =582,91.7％).The serum of HBP level was detected by fluorescence immunoassay technology.The serum of procalcitonin (PCT) level was detected by cyclic enhanced immunofluorescent assay.C-reactive protein (CRP) level was detected by automatic chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer.White blood cells (WBC) count was performed by hematology analyzer.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves were constructed by SPSS 22 and MedCale,and areas under curves (AUC) were calculated and compared to illustrate the diagnostic power of HBP,PCT,CRP and WBC.The correlation between HBP and WBC was also significant (r =0.68,P ＜ 0.05).Results The level of HBP,PCT,CRP and WBC were significantly higher in the definite urosepsis group compared to the no urosepsis group.AUC of HBP,PCT,CRP and WBC were 0.930,0.878,0.727 and 0.617.When the cutoff of HBP,PCT,CRP and WBC were set as 51.5 ng/ml,0.41 ng/ml,64.2 mg/L and 11.7 × 109/L,the sensitivities were 89.2％,83.3％,83.5％ and 44.7％,and the specificity were 95.9％,75.6％,64.3％ and 77.1％,respectively.Conclusions The value of heparin-binding protein was superior to that of PCT,CRP and WBC in predicting urosepsis after endoscopic lithotripsy for upper urinary tract stones.Heparin-binding protein could be acted as a diagnostic marker for urosepsis.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the necessity of prophylactic uterine artery embolization (UAE) before curettage in treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).Methods A total of 142 patients with CSP were enrolled and divided into 3 groups according to Adler grading standard,including little vascularity (grade 0-Ⅰ,n=40),moderate vascularity (grade Ⅱ,n=41) and rich vascularity groups (grade Ⅲ,n=61).All patients were treated with curettage or prophylactic UAE before curettage.The differences of age,times of cesarean section,time to last cesarean section,intraoperative blood loss and success rate of therapy were compared between different treatment methods in each group.Results There was no statistical difference of age,times of cesarean section,time to last cesarean section,intraoperative blood loss and success rate of therapy between curettage and prophylactic UAE before curettage in little vascularity group and moderate vascularity group (all P＞0.05).Compared with curettage,the success rate of prophylactic UAE before curettage was higher and the intraoperative blood loss was lower in rich vascularity group (both P＜0.05).There was no statistical difference of age,times of cesarean section nor time to last cesarean section in rich vascularity group (all P＞0.05).Conclusion It is necessary to perform prophylactic UAE before curettage for cesarean scar pregnancy patient with rich vascularity,which is helpful to reduction of intraoperative blood loss.
