Expression and significance of Golgi protein 73 in alcoholic cirrhosis / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the expression and significance of Golgi protein 73 (GP73) in alcoholic cirrhosis.@*Methods@#From March 2015 to August 2017, 163 patients with alcoholic liver disease in the No.541 General Hospital were selected, including 51 patients with alcoholic fatty liver, 62 patients with alcoholic hepatitis, 50 patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis, and 70 healthy volunteers were selected as control group.The liver function and the level of GP73 were detected.@*Results@#The GP73 level in the alcoholic liver cirrhosis group was (210.16±40.11)ng/mL, which was higher than that of the control group[(46.24±12.24)ng/mL], alcoholic fatty liver group [(85.10±20.43)ng/mL] and alcoholic hepatitis group[(160.18±32.05)ng/mL] (t=15.822, 30.022, 23.212, all P<0.05). GP73 was positively correlated with Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) (r=0.563, P<0.05), negatively correlated with albumin (Alb) (r=-0.488, P<0.05), and had no correlation with alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and total bilirubin (TBIL) (P>0.05). After treatment, the GP73 levels of effective patients in the alcoholic fatty liver group, alcoholic hepatitis group and alcoholic liver cirrhosis group were (54.16±11.18)ng/mL, (104.11±28.46)ng/mL, (122.03±30.54)ng/mL, respectively, which were lower than that of the ineffective patients (t=-4.600, -5.081 and -4.100, all P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The GP73 level is significantly elevated in alcoholic liver disease.In alcoholic cirrhosis, GP73 level is the highest, has a certain relationship with the liver function index GGT, Alb and the therapeutic effect.
