RESUMO
Objective Few studies are reported about the values of the levels of plasma lipoprotein related phospholipase A2 (LP-PLA2) and serum resistin in predicting the prognosis of atherosclerotic cerebral infarction (ACI).This article aims to evaluate the predictive values of LP-PLA2 and serum resistin in the prognosis of ACI.Methods This study included 136 cases of ACI diagnosed and treated in Huaihe Hosptial from September 2013 to September 2014.The patients were followed up for 2 years,during which 48 were found with adverse outcomes (the poor prognosis group) 76 without disease progression (the good prognosis group).We analyzed the influencing factors on prognosis using the Cox proportional hazard model and evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of these factors in predicting the prognostic risks of the patients by ROC curve analysis.Results The rate of poor prognosis was 38.71％ among the included patients.Analysis with the Cox proportional hazard model showed significant impacts of LP-PLA2 (OR =2.105,95％ CI:1.878-2.413) and serum resistin (OR=1.784,95％ CI:1.509-2.213) on the prognosis of the patients.Compared with the good prognosis group,the poor prognosis group exhibited markedly higher levels of LP-PLA2 ([128.78±76.22] vs [268.65±89.02] mg/L,P＜0.01)and serum resistin ([20.71±6.15] vs [24.36±4.87] mg/L,P＜0.01).The sensitivity and specificity of LP-PLA2 combined with serum resistin were 81.35％ and 78.26％,respectively.Conclusion The combination of LP-PLA2 with serum resistin has a good predictive value for the prognosis of atherosclerotic cerebral infarction and is expected to be widely applied as a routine index in clinical practice.
RESUMO
The recombinant adenoviruses containing pGH cDNA and pGH cDNA with the first intron under the control of CMV promoter were constructed respectively by homogenous recombination method. The results showed that the recombinant adenoviruses could mediate pGH cDNA expression in CHO cells infected with the recombinant adenoviruses. The expression level of pGH cDNA with the first intron increased by 117% compared with pGH cDNA without intron. This indicate that the first intron of pGH gene have the function of improving the expression of the pGH gene.
