RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical application value of endotoxin and (1-3)-β-D glucan detection in the patients with acute pancreatitis(AP).Methods The MB-80 microbiology rapid dynamic detection system was applied to detect the concentration of plasma LPS and (1-3)-β-D glucan in the patients with AP.Then the results were analyzed.Results Among 184 cases of AP complicating peripancreatic abscess and bilateral lung infection,endotoxin G-lipopolysaccharides positive was in 23 cases,the average value was 394.07 pg/mL,the positive rate was 10.87%,and 15 cases of Gram-negative bacterial infection were verified by the microorganism culture.Among 175 cases of AP complicating peripancreatic abscess and bilateral lung infection,67 cases were(1-3)-β-D glucan positive,the average value was 93.22 pg/mL,the positive rate was 38.29%,which were with the positive rate of serum(1-3)-β-D glucan in the non-AP group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),the microorganism culture or smear verified that 22 cases were fungal infection.Conclusion Plasma endotoxin and (1-3)-β-D glucan detection provides the laboratory biological indicator and is conducive to the assessment of AP infection severity and clinical medication.
RESUMO
Objective To study the application value of G-lipopolysaccharides(G-LPS) detection in patients with traumatic brain injury(TBI).Methods From Jan.2013 to Jun.2014,plasma G-LPS of TBI-patients and non-patients in this hospital were detected by using MB-80 microbiology analyzer and compared.Results of pathogenic microbiological detection of G-LPS positive TBI patients were analyzed,and G-LPS levels,detected before and after treatment,were also analyzed.Results G-LPS positive rate of TBI patients(33.33%) was higher than the 13.34% of non-TBI patients(P<0.05).After treatment,G-LPS level in G-LPS positive TBI patients significantly decreased(P<0.05).The common pathogenic bacteria,causing infection in TBI patients,included Acinetobacter bauman,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli,and the most common infection diseases included respiratory tract infections and urinary tract infections.Conclusion G-LPS detection could be used for the early detection of secondary infection in TIB patients,with significance for guiding clinical treatment.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the effects of live combined bifidobacterium,lactobacillus and enterococcus powder on immunoglobulin E (IgE) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) in atopic children with bronchiolitis.Methods Sixty cases of atopic children with bronchiolitis were randomly divided into the therapy group (30 cases) and the control group (30 cases).Twenty-five healthy children were enrolled as the healthy control group.Both the therapy group and the control group were given traditional therapy.The therapy group received live combined bifidobacterium,lactobacillus and enterococcus powder for 2 months.The change of IgE and IL-17 levels were observed during the acutestage,remission stage and after receiving live combined bifidobacterium,lactobacillus and enterococcus powder for 2months.Results (1) The levels of IgE and IL-17 of therapy group[(132.36 ±9.50) μg/L and (77.76 ±7.95)μg/L] during acute stage were markedly higher than those in the healthy control group [(52.80 ±4.92) μg/L and (46.92 ±4.79) μg/L] (all P ＜0.001).The levels of IgE and IL-17 of control group [(128.83 ± 8.06) μg/L and (76.61 ±6.18) μg/L] during remission stage were markedly higher than those in the healthy control group [(52.80 ±4.92) μg/L and (46.92 ± 4.79) μg/L] (all P ＜ 0.001).(2) The levels of IgE of therapy group (56.67 ± 9.20)μg/L after receiving live combined bifidobacterium,lactobacillus and enterococcus powder for 2 months were markedly lower than those in the control group (70.50 ± 11.38) μg/L (P ＜ 0.001).The levels of IL-17 of therapy group [(49.63 ± 6.35) μg/L] at the time after receiving live combined bifidobacterium,lactobacillus and enterococcus powder for 2 months were markedly lower than these in the control group (54.77 ± 6.33) μg/L (P =0.003).Conclusion Receiving live combined bifidobacterium,lactobacillus and enterococcus powder for two months can decrease the IgE and IL-17 levels in atopic children with bronchiolitis.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical significance and changes of serum interleukin-4 (IL-4),interferon-γ(IFN-γ) and immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in infants with spasmodic laryngitis.Methods Serum samples were obtained from 50 children with spasmodic laryngitis and 30 healthy children.The changes of IL-4,IFN-γand IgE levels in serum when hospital admission (acute stage),before discharge (the stage of clinical symptom disappeared) and after 2 months of follow-up were observed.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the levels of IL-4 and IFN-γ in serum.Serum IgE level was determined with enzyme-linked fluoroimmuneassay.Results The serum level of IL-4 in patients with spasmodic laryngitis during acute stage were much higher than that in normal control group[(20.65 ±5.87) ng/L vs(8.23 ±2.71) ng/L,t =5.536,P ＜0.05].It was decreased during the stage of clinical symptom disappeared and significantly lower than that during acute stage[(11.07 ± 2.93) ng/L vs (20.65 ± 5.87) ng/L,F =5.258,P ＜ 0.05].The serum level of IFN-γ in patients with spasmodic laryngitis during acute stage were much lower than that in normal control group[(61.38 ±6.36) ng/L vs (108.42 ± 13.56) ng/L,t =4.831,P ＜ 0.05],and it was increased during the stage of clinical symptom disappeared [(95.12 ± 11.63) ng/L] and significantly higher than that during acute stage(F =4.239,P ＜ 0.05).There was no difference between the patients at clinical symptom disappeared stage and normal control group (P ＞ 0.05).Two months after discharge,there was no difference in serum INF-γlevel between the patients [(75.68 ±6.29) ng/L] and that in control group (P ＞ 0.05).The serum level of IgE in patients with spasmodic laryngitis during acute stage were much higher than that in normal control group [(136.63 ± 17.86) ng/L vs (47.16 ± 6.83) ng/L,t =6.685,P ＜ 0.05].It was decreased during the stage of clinical symptom disappeared [(88.07 ± 11.83) μg/L] and significantly lower than that during acute stage(F =5.182,P ＜ 0.05),but higher than that of normal control group (P ＜ 0.05).Two months after discharge [(86.72 ± 7.25) μg/L] it was still higher than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There is TH1/TH2 imbalance in infants with spasmodic laryngitis.Maybe spasmodic laryngitis is one of the clinical manifestations of atopic diseases.IL-4,IFN-γand IgE may play important roles in immunologic pathogenesis.
