【Objective】 To investigate the effects of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) on procalcitonin (PCT), renal function and inflammatory index levels in patients with indinavir-induced urinary calculi so as to provide reference for clinical practice. 【Methods】 A total of 77 patients with urinary calculi admitted to the Department of Urology of our hospital from January 2017 to January 2021 were selected for retrospective analysis. They were divided into control group (38 cases, non-indinavir related urinary calculi) and observation group (39 cases, indinavir-related urinary calculi) according to the years of the disease. Before treatment and 7 days after treatment, the serum levels of PCT, CRP, Scr, UA, Kim1, VAS scores, and IgG, IgM, MDA, and SOD levels were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 The expressions of serum PCT and CRP at 7 days after treatment in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment, and the improvement degree of the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P0.05), but the intraoperative blood loss and MAP 20 min after induction of anesthesia were significantly better than those in the control group. Seven days after treatment, GSH-Px and SOD were significantly better in the observation group than in the control group and before treatment (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 ESWL treatment for patients with indinavir-induced urinary calculi can effectively reduce the expressions of serum PCT and CRP, improve renal function indexes, reduce intraoperative blood loss, and reduce the level of inflammatory indexes; the clinical effect is good.

Risk factors of ankylosing spondylitis with premature coronary heart disease / 中华风湿病学杂志

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with premature coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (PCAD).Methods:A total of 74 patients with AS and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CAD) in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1983 to July 2021 were enrolled. According to the age of onset of coronary heart disease, the 74 patients were divided into PCAD group and NPCAD (non-premature coronary heart disease) group. T test and Chi square test were used to analyze the data of the two groups, the risk factors for AS-PCAD were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression. Results:① There were 37 cases in the PCAD group and 37 cases in the NPCAD group. In the PCAD group, there were 28 men and 9 women; wherease all were men in the NPCAD group. The difference was statistically significant ( χ2=10.25, P=0.001). ② Compared with the NPCAD group, the age of AS-PCAD group was younger [(23±10) years vs (29±12) years, t=-2.28, P=0.026], and the course from AS to CAD was shorter [(25±10) years vs (34±13) years, t=-3.00, P=0.004], hemoglobin (Hb) level was lower [(122±23) g/L vs(132±18) g/L, t=2.10, P=0.039], rate of anemia was higher [38.5%(14/37) vs 16.2%(6/37), χ2=4.39, P=0.037]. Proportion of increased C-reactive protein (CRP) was higher [65.5%(19/29) vs 35.5%(11/31), χ2=5.41, P=0.019]. ③ Juvenile onset AS (JoAS)[ OR(95% CI)=3.45(1.31, 9.10), P=0.012] and high levels of CRP [ OR (95% CI)=3.68 (1.44, 9.40), P=0.006] might berisk factors of AS-PCAD by multiple logisctic regression analysis. Conclusion:Patients with AS have a higher probability of PCAD, especially in those patients with JoAS, persistent inflammation and anemia. It is necessary to be alert to the risk of PCAD and early screening.

Predictive value of procalcitonin in intensive care unit delirium / 中华危重病急救医学

Objective@#To analyze the risk factors of delirium in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and to investigate the predictive value of C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), lactic acid (Lac) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in the diagnosis of ICU delirium.@*Methods@#The patients admitted to central ICU and respiratory medicine ICU of Changzhou First People's Hospital from August 2016 to November 2017 were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether delirium occurred within 7 days or not, which was evaluated by using the confusion assessment method for ICU (CAM-ICU). The gender, age and blood CRP, PCT, Lac, NSE levels were compared between the two groups. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of ICU delirium. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to assess the predictive value of CRP, PCT, Lac and NSE in the occurrence of ICU delirium.@*Results@#133 patients were enrolled. Delirium occurred in 67 patients, and did not occurred in 66 patients, with a prevalence rate of 50.4%. There was no significant difference in gender or age between the two groups. Compared with non-delirium group, blood CRP, PCT and Lac levels in delirium group were significantly increased [CRP (mg/L): 110.75±77.31 vs. 51.32±36.51, PCT (μg/L): 3.95 (1.01, 23.90) vs. 0.09 (0.06, 0.36), Lac (mmol/L): 2.40 (1.70, 4.30) vs. 1.20 (0.90, 2.00), all P < 0.01], but no significant difference was found in NSE [μg/L: 12.59 (9.61, 17.69) vs. 13.39 (10.14, 19.05), P > 0.05].② It was shown by multivariate Logistic regression analysis that blood PCT and Lac were risk factors of ICU delirium [PCT: odds ratio (OR) = 1.185, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.006-1.396, P = 0.042; Lac: OR = 1.398, 95%CI = 1.011-1.934, P = 0.043].③ROC curve analysis showed that blood CRP, PCT and Lac had certain predictive value for ICU delirium, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of PCT was the highest (0.840 vs. 0.694 and 0.751). When the cut-off value of PCT ≥ 0.55 μg/L, the sensitivity was 72.7%, the specificity was 86.2%, positive predictive value was 84.48%, and negative predictive value was 75.68%. Blood NSE had no predictive value for ICU delirium (AUC = 0.446, P = 0.290).@*Conclusions@#Blood PCT and Lac are the risk factors of ICU delirium. PCT has predictive value for ICU delirium.

Clinical Efficacy of Salvianolate for Injection Combined with the Conventional Therapy in Ischemic Stroke / 中国药师

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of salvianolate in the treatment of ischemic stroke(IS) and its effect on the serum levels of uric acid, hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α (HIF-1α), neuroglobin (NGB), hypersensitive C-reaction protein (hs-CRP),regulatory T cell(Treg) and helper T lymphocyte 17 (Th17). Methods:Totally 196 IS patients in our hospital were analyzed and divided into the control group(n=96) and the observation group(n=96). The patients in the control group were treated with the traditional therapy,and the patients in the observation group were treated with salvianolate additionally. The clinical effect and disabili-ty were observed;and the serum levels of uric acid,HIF-1α,NGB,hs-CRP,Treg and Th17 were compared between the groups. Re-sults:Before the treatment,there were no differences in uric acid,HIF-1α,NGB,hs-CRP,Treg and Th17 between the groups(P>0.05). After the 14-day treatment,the effective rate was 69.79% in the observation group,which was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). NIHSS scores and mRS scores of the two groups were lower than baseline values (55.21%,P<0.05). After 3-month follow-up,NIHSS scores,mRS scores and the disability rate(12.5%) in the observation group were obviously lower than those in the control group(P<0.05). After the 14-day treatment,the serum levels of uric acid,HIF-1α,NGB,and hs-CRP in the obser-vation group were lower than those in the control groups (P<0.05). Besides, the patients in the observation group were with more Treg and fewer Th17 than the control group and baseline value (P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of salvianolate in the treat-ment of ischemic stroke can effectively improve the disability and neurological function defects,which should be recommended for the clinical use as an effective drug.

Objective To discuss the influence of different dose α-lipoic acid on blood glucose and C-reaction protein(CRP) in type 2 diabetic patients with macroangiopathy.Methods Seventy-two cases type 2 diabetic patients with macroangiopathy were divided randomly and voluntarily into the conventional dose group(n=36) and high dose group(n=36).The patients of conventional dose group were given conventional dose α-lipoic acid(300 mg/d) based on glucose treatment while high dose group were given high dose α-lipoic acid (600 mg/d) based on glucose treatment,the courses were all 15 d.The fasting blood glucose(FBG),2 h postprandial blood glucose(2 hBG),serum CRP of before and after treatment of between the two groups and safety during the treatment were compared.Results The FBG,2 hBG and CRP of before and after treatment were respcetively (9.24±2.18) mmol/L and (8.18±1.38) mmol/L,(13.26±3.17) mmol/L and (11.26±1.63) mmol/L,(21.52±4.17) mg/L and (14.72±3.73) mg/L;(9.26±2.04) mmol/L and (5.82±1.27)mmol/L,(13.52±2.45) mmoL/L and (8.92±1.04) mmol/L,(22.65±4.67) mg/L and (8.61±1.52) mg/L,all groups decreased obviously,the differences were statistically significant compared to that of before treatment(t=4.265,4.654,4.956 and 5.562,6.254,7.654,P＜0.05),and the high dose group showed more lower (t=5.353,5.783,6.257,P＜0.05).After treatment,ALT ((37.26±9.64) U/L),AST ((38.22±7.04) U/L),BUN((7.25±1.52) mmol/L) and Scr((55.25±11.25) mmol/L) of all groups increased obviously than pretreatment((33.53±6.37) U/L,(33.15±7.16) U/L,(5.43±4.67) mmol/L,(53.15±13.65) mmol/L),but the differences were no statistically significant compared to that of before treatment (t=-2.061,-2.165,-1.455,-0.689,P＜0.05),and there were also no statistical significance between the two groups(t =2.125,3.026,1.235,1.035,P＜0.05).Conclusion α-lipoic acid can obviously decrease the blood glucose and CRP in type 2 diabetic patients with macroangiopathy,which has a significant dose effect relationship,and is safe and worthy of clinical application.

A study on calculating the ankylosing spondylitis disease activity score according to the C-reactive protein level / 中华内科杂志

Objective To study the prediction value of C-reactive protein (CRP) level to ankylosing spondylitis disease activity score (ASDAS),the most widely used activity score in ankylosing spondylitis (AS).Methods A total of 386 patients with AS were enrolled and divided into 2 groups by CRP≥3.5 mg/L (n =266) and CRP ＜ 3.5 mg/L(n =120).ASDAS-CRP was evaluated in patients with CRP below the normal range (3.5 mg/L) in different subgroups.Three methods were used to test the consistency between ASDAS-CRP and ASDAS-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).Results The ASDAS-CRP showed a good correlation with the ASDAS-ESR when CRP level was ≥ 3.5 mg/L (r =0.899,P =0.000).In the group of CRP ＜ 3.5 mg/L,ASDAS-ESR showed better consistency with ASDAS-CRP when CRP level was below 1.5 mg/L(intra-class correlation coefficient 0.902;kappa coefficient 0.70).By the evaluation of variant gradient matrix,CRP 1.5 mg/L coincided with disease activity states.Conclusion There is good consistency between ASDAS-CRP and ASDAS-ESR.When CRP level is below the normal range,1.5 mg/L could be a cut-off value to calculate the optimal ASDAS-CRP score.

Predictive value of recurrence for serum hypoxia inducible factor‑1α C‑reaction protein in hepatocellular carcinoma patients after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of recurrence for serum hypoxia inducible factor‑1α (HIF‑1α), C‑reaction protein (CRP) in hepatocellular carcinoma patients after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty‑eight hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated with TACE were included in this study from February 2010 to January 2013 as the case group. Of the included 58 cases, 47 patients had recurrence disease, and other 11 cases had no recurrence disease within 2 years follow‑up. Moreover, 62 subjects with no benign liver disease were recruited as a control group in the same period. The serum level of HIF‑1α and CRP were tested in case group and control group 1‑week after TACE. The serum level of HIF‑1α and CRP were compared among the recurrence, nonrecurrence, and benign liver disease patients. The predictive value of recurrence for serum HIF‑1α, CRP was calculated by Bayes’ theorem. RESULTS: The serum HIF‑1α and CRP level was arrayed 1‑week after TACE. For recurrence cases, the serum level of HIF‑1α and CRP was 2457.00 ± 335.70 pg/ml and 11.46 ± 3.25 mg/L. For nonrecurrence subjects, the serum level of HIF‑1α and CRP was 2067.00 ± 175.900 pg/ml and 8.99 ± 1.70 mg/L. Moreover, for the benign liver disease patients, the serum level of HIF‑1α and CRP was 1897.00 ± 121.33 pg/ml and 6.11 ± 1.2 mg/L. The serum level of HIF‑1α and CRP was significantly higher in hepatocellular carcinoma patients than that of benign liver disease patients (P < 0.05); The recurrence predictive sensitivity and specificity of HIF‑1α for hepatocellular carcinoma patients after TACE chemoembolization was 76.60% and 81.82% with the area under the curve (AUC) receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.85; The recurrence predictive sensitivity and specificity of CRP for hepatocellular carcinoma patients after TACE was 65.96% and 63.64% with the AUC/ROC of 0.74. CONCLUSION: The serum level of HIF‑1α and CRP was elevated in recurrence patients which could be a potential marker for recurrence prediction.
