RESUMO
Objective:To compare serum procalcitonin and fibrinogen degradation product levels between type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with Escherichia coli bloodstream and urinary tract infections. Methods:The clinical data of 82 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with Escherichia coli infections who received treatment between December 2014 and December 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Datong University (The Fifth People's Hospital of Datong) were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were assigned to bloodstream infection ( n = 40) and urinary tract infection ( n = 42) according to the way of Escherichia coli infection. Serum procalcitonin and fibrinogen degradation product levels, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, C-reactive protein, white blood cell count, D-Dimer level, antithrombin III activity, and electrolytes were determined and compared between the two groups. Correlation between procalcitonin and other variables was analyzed. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed with procalcitonin level as a dependent variable and other relevant indexes as independent variables. Results:Body temperature, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, monocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, procalcitonin level, C-reactive protein level, fibrinogen degradation product level, and D-Dimer level in the bloodstream injection group were (39.49 ± 0.64) ℃, (14.92 ± 11.78) × 10 9/L, (13.39 ± 11.60) × 10 9/L, (0.72 ± 0.36) ×10 9/L, (14.86 ± 10.52), (199.15 ± 160.69), (22.81 ± 17.86) μg/L, (133.44 ± 63.63) mg/L, (49.71 ± 41.44) mg/L, (16.56 ± 12.20) mg/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the urinary tract infection group [(37.12 ± 1.20) ℃, (9.04 ± 3.95) × 10 9/L, (6.25 ± 4.02) × 10 9/L, (0.42 ± 0.29) × 10 9/L, (3.67 ± 3.34), (120.01 ± 44.08), (4.46 ± 8.69) μg/L, (39.22 ± 22.16) mg/L, (3.81 ± 3.41) mg/L, (0.84 ± 0.75) mg/L), t = 7.356, 2.578, 3.162, 2.958, 5.538, 2.591, 2.810, 4.825, 2.902, 2.375, all P < 0.05]. Platelet count, lymphocyte count, blood sodium level and antithrombin Ⅲ activity in the bloodstream infection group were (167.50 ± 104.93) × 10 9/L, (1.06 ± 0.58) × 10 9/L, (130.89 ± 6.50) mmol/L, (57.88 ± 16.28)% , which were significantly lower than those in the urinary tract infection group [(239.40 ± 82.52)× 10 9/L, (2.14 ± 0.71) × 10 9/L, (138.46 ± 5.96) mmol/L, (90.11 ± 8.90)%, t = -2.853, -6.313, -4.046, -7.350, all P < 0.05]. Correlation analysis revealed that serum procalcitonin level was positively correlated with body temperature ( r = 0.387), white blood cell count ( r = 0.355), neutrophil count ( r = 0.368), C-reactive protein ( r = 0.605), fibrinogen degradation product level ( r = 0.616), D-Dimer level ( r = 0.486) (all P < 0.05), and it was negatively correlated with sodium level ( r = -0.319) and antithrombin Ⅲ activity ( r = -0.465) (both P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis results revealed that fibrinogen degradation product level and body temperature were greatly correlated with procalcitonin level. Conclusion:Inflammatory indicators procalcitonin level, body temperature, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen degradation product level and D-Dimer level were remarkably higher in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with Escherichia coli bloodstream infection than those in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with Escherichia coli urinary tract infection. Procalcitonin level was greatly correlated with body temperature and fibrinogen degradation product level.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of different stages of type 2 diabetic nephropathy(DN), and to explore the possible factors affecting visceral fat area (VFA).Methods:From September 2018 to March 2019, 464 patients with type 2 diabetes who were hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Datong University were selected.Among them, 315 patients with urinary albumin/creatinine ratio(UACR)<30 mg/g were selected as normal proteinuria group, 72 patients with UACR 30-299 mg/g were selected as microalbuminuria group, 45 patients with UACR>300 mg/g were selected as massive proteinuria group, and 32 patients with serum creatinine higher than the reference value were selected as renal failure group.The serum creatinine of the first three groups was in the normal range.The clinical data of these patients such as blood pressure, body mass index(BMI), VFA, subcutaneous fat area(SFA), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(BAPWV), blood lipid, renal function and blood sugar were collected and compared among the four groups.Using VFA as strain and other indicators as independent variables, multivariate linear regression analysis was carried out.Results:There were statistically significant differences among the four groups in age, height, weight, BMI, head circumference, neck circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference and waist-hip ratio ( F=15.580, 4.679, 6.186, 3.553, 3.153, 2.689, 5.170, 3.114, 3.535, all P<0.05). The VFA of the normal proteinuria group, microalbuminuria group, massive proteinuria group and renal failure group were (102.25±37.09)cm 2, (104.12±40.93)cm 2, (119.63±48.82)cm 2, (110.54±41.58)cm 2, respectively, and the BAPWV were (1 546.97±330.18)cm/s, (1 595.52 ±381.27)cm/s, (1 459.63±285.61)cm/s, (1 703.89±318.64)cm/s, the differences were statistically significant among the four groups( F=3.344, 4.020, all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, red blood cell, hemoglobin, ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes (NLR) and ratio of platelets to lymphocytes (PLR) among the four groups ( F=3.405, 15.535, 6.552, 2.803, 6.158, 15.580, 3.764, 3.262, all P<0.05). With VFA as strain, multivariate linear regression analysis showed that waist circumference, BMI, TG and BAPWV were risk factors for VFA. Conclusion:DN is associated with multiple obesity-related indicators and inflammatory indicators such as NLR, PLR; VFA is associated with BAPWV.
RESUMO
Binding of ~(125)I-HDL_3 to cultured skin fibroblasts from normal subjects and cffccts of HDL_3 on removal of the cellular cholesterol were studied. The results showed that ~(126)I-HDL_3 binding to HDL receptors did not require divalent cations and was not reduced by trysin treatment. Binding of ~(126)I-HDL_3 was enhanced about twofold (P
