RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of Niaoduqing Particles on the microinflammatory state in patients with maintenance hemodialysis. Methods Totally 240 patients with hemodialysis for more than 6 months were randomly divided into conventional hemodialysis group, Chinese medicine group (treated with Niaoduqing Particles) and western medicine group (treated with Vitamin E), 80 cases in each group, with 30 healthy people as control group. The levels of hs-CRP, IL-6 and HCY were detected before and after 1, 3, 6 months of treatment. Results Before treatment, the levels of inflammatory factors in hemodialysis patients were higher than control group. And after 3 months of treatment, the levels of hs-CRP, IL-6 and HCY of Chinese medicine group were decreased. And after 6 months of treatment, the levels of inflammatory factors were decreased obviously compared with pretherapy (P<0.01), and the difference with the conventional hemodialysis group was significant (P<0.01). Compared with pretherapy, the changes of inflammatory factors of western medicine group were statistically insignificant. Conclusion Niaoduqing Particles can significantly improve the microinflammatory state in maintenance hemodialysis patients, and the effect is superior to Vitamin E.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the clinical application of FP-PCR method to detect MP-DNA.Methods Five hundred and sixty-three children suspected of MP infection were enrolled in experimental group. FP-PCR was adopted to detect MP-DNA. MP-DNA was re-detected later in 60 children. At the same time,MP-Ab (MP antibody) was detected by means of particle agglutination. MP-Ab was re-detected one or two weeks later. Also 20 healthy children were selected as the control group. Results The positive rate of MP-DNA and MP-Ab were 34. 99% and 35.52% respectively,which showed no significant difference (x2 =0. 31, P > 0. 05). The coincidence of the two methods was 97. 69%. But the positive rate of MP-DNA was significantly higher than that of MP-Ab in the early stage(30. 48% vs 10. 16%) (x2 = 74. 46, P < 0. 05).The sensitivity and specificity of FP-PCR were 96. 00% and 98.62% respectively. The result of reviewed MP-DNA was consistent with the clinical diagnosis. Conclusion FP-PCR method is very sensitive, convenient and stable. It is fit for the clinical application ,especially the diagnosis of early MP infection. It helps to identify those who had been infected with MP before.
