RESUMO
Objective To understand the prevalence and risk factors of hyperuricemia in electronics factory workers in Wuhan, and to provide evidence for the health protection of electronics factory workers. Methods A total of 1 415 employees in an electronics factory in Wuhan were selected as the research subjects, and the physical examination and determination of various biochemical indicators, as well as questionnaire survey were carried out. Results The detection rate of hyperuricemia among workers in the electronics factory in Wuhan was 32.43%, with 36.33% for men and 14.11% for women, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2＝46.077，P＜0.001). The detection rate of hyperuricemia was the highest (33.77%) among those with university or college education, followed by graduate students and above (31.50%). Compared with subjects with good lifestyle habits, people with drinking habits had higher hyperuricemia detection rate (49.38%), and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.001). The detection rates of hyperuricemia in those with central obesity and elevated alanine aminotransferase were 48.23% and 61.29%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the subjects without the above diseases (26.91% and 27.21%, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant (P 2 (OR=2.175, 95% CI=1.686 -2.806, P <0.001) were risk factors for hyperuricemia in electronic factory workers. Elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was significantly correlated with hyperuricemia (OR=2.964, 95%CI=2.146-4.095 , P <0.001). Female gender was a protective factor for hyperuricemia in workers in the electronics factory (OR=0.441, 95%CI=0.297-0.653 , P <0.001). Conclusion The detection rate of hyperuricemia among workers in an electronics factory in Wuhan is high, and the detection rate of hyperuricemia in men is higher than that in women. Alcohol consumption, overweight and obesity will increase the risk of hyperuricemia. Elevated ALT is associated with hyperuricemia. Maintaining an ideal body mass index and establishing a good lifestyle play an important role in preventing hyperuricemia.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of neostigmine combined with raw rhubarb enema on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) patients with intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH).Methods:The clinical data of 89 SAP patients, who were admitted and underwent continuous renal replacement treatment (CRRT) in intensive care unit (ICU) department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from January 2018 to June 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into control group ( n=44) and experimental group ( n=45) according to the treatment mode. Raw rhubarb enema plus sodium sulfate topical application were administrated twice a day for 7 days in control group; besides the treatment above, intramuscular injection of neostigmine 0.5 mg twice a day for 7 days was given in experimental group. Intra-abdominal pressure was monitored, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE)Ⅱ, kidney disease: improving global outcome stage (KDIGO), lung injury score (LIS) were recorded, and serum leukocyte, CRP, procalcitonin (PCT), IL-6, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-ɑ level were examined before and after treatment in both groups. The primary endpoint was the amount change of intra-abdominal pressure within 24 hours, and secondary endpoints included increased fecal volume within 7 days after treatment, new abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), new organ dysfunction, vascular complications, length of ICU stay, total length of stay, survival rate and treatment intervention and occurrence of complications within 6 months after the end of treatment. Results:Intra-abdominal pressure began to decrease at 9 hours after treatment both in control group and experimental group. Compared with that before treatment, the intra-abdominal pressure of the two groups decreased significantly after 7 days of treatment, and the decrease rate of the experimental group within 7 days was obviously higher than that of the control group, with statistical significance (all P values <0.05). Compared with those before treatment, APACHEⅡ, KDIGO and LIS in both groups were significantly decreased, but the decreases in experimental group were more remarkable than those in control group (all P values <0.05). After treatment, the serum WBC count and the levels of inflammatory factors CRP, PCT, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-ɑ in experimental group were obviously lower than those in control group with statistical significance (all P values <0.05). Compared with control group, the change of intra-abdominal pressure in experimental group was significantly increased after 24-hour treatment, and the fecal volume was also obviously increased on day 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 after treatment (all P values <0.05). However, there were no significantly statistical differences on the severity of intra-abdominal pressure, new occurrence of ACS and organ failure, vascular complication, ICU hospitalization and total length of stay and survival rate between two groups. After 6-month follow-up, the recurrence of pancreatitis and its treatment intervention between two groups were not statistically significant. Conclusions:The adjuvant treatment of neostigmine could reduce intra-abdominal pressure, increase defecation volume in SAP patients and alleviate SAP condition, which might be related to reducing the release of inflammatory cytokines.
RESUMO
Objective Sodium-bile acid cotransporter plays an important role in the development of Echinococcus.The present study aimed to clone sodium bile acid cotransporter gene in Echinococcus multilocularis (EmSBACT5) and to analyze the bioinformatics of its coding protein.Methods EmSBACT5 gene was amplified by reverse transcription RCR (RT-PCR) technology and its nucleotide sequence was sequenced.Bioinformatics softwares were used to predict and analyze the physical and chemical properties, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, transmembrane domain, post-translational modification sites, structural domain, secondary structure, tertiary structure, subcellular localization and biological functions of the coding protein.Results The complete open reading frame was amplified with 654 bp in length, encoding 217 amino acids.The homology of the nucleic acid sequence and amino acid sequence of EmSBACT5 gene were 98% and 96% with the published SBACT5 in Echinococcus granulosus (EgSBACT5) respectively.Protein analysis results showed that the molecular formula of EmSBACT5 protein was C1141H1797N273O284S11.Its relative molecular mass was 24240 and isoelectric point was 8.99.There were 9 post-translational modification sites and 4 typical domains.Alpha helical, β-sheet, β-turn and random coil accounted for 29.95%, 31.80%, 7.83% and 30.41%, respectively.This protein was a hydrophobic membrane protein and was mainly located in the cytoplasmic membrane, and it might play a role in the processes of material transport and signal transmission.Conclusion The EmSBACT5 gene was cloned successfully and the informatics characteristics of its coding protein were obtained, which provides basic information for prevention and control of echinococcosis.
RESUMO
At present,corresponding cell-free parasite DNA molecules (CFPD) has been detected in serum,plasma,urine,saliva and other bodily fluids of a variety of the patients with parasitic diseases.Due to its high specificity and sensitivity,the CFPD shows a strong advantage of noninvasive diagnosis and continuous monitoring,etc.in parasitic diseases.This article namely reviews the current research of CFPD in the patients with parasitic disease at home and abroad in recent years,so as to provide new ideas for the development direction of parasitic disease diagnosis in the future.The current related problems are discussed in the mean time.
