TK1与LDH联合检测对非霍奇金淋巴瘤鉴别诊断及疗效评估的作用

目的:探讨联合检测血清胸苷激酶1(TK1)与乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)水平在非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)患者鉴别诊断及疗效监测中的临床意义。方法:收集2016年1月至2018年6月我院诊治的111例非霍奇金淋巴瘤的初诊患者血清标本,并选择50例正常人血清标本作为对照,采用免疫印迹增强发光法检测TK1浓度,比色法检测LDH浓度。所有患者随访至少1年,分析和比较惰性NHL与侵袭性NHL及各自四类分期之间血清TK1和LDH水平的差异,化疗后完全缓解、部分缓解与未缓解组LDH水平以及NHL患者中血清TK1和LDH的阳性率。结果:高度侵袭性NHL患者和侵袭性NHL患者血清TKI和LDH水平与惰性NHL患者相比显著增高(P0.05),但惰性NHL患者血清TK1和LDH水平与正常组之间差异无统计学意义(P0.05);Ⅲ、Ⅳ期侵袭性NHL患者血清TK1和LDH水平与Ⅰ、Ⅱ期患者相比显著增高(P0.05)。与化疗前相比,四次化疗后,完全缓解组NHL患者血清LDH水平下降21.05%,部分缓解组为16.66%,病情稳定组血清LDH水平升高至11.54%,三组NHL患者血清LDH水平比较差异具有统计学意义(P0.008),两组之间的差异均有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论:联合检测血清TK1和LDH水平对于NHL患者的鉴别诊断、疗效评估均具有重要参考价值。     

知识宣教辅助饮食指导对老年T2DM患者的影响

为了探讨饮食指导联合知识宣教对老年T2DM患者血糖波动的影响,本研究选取在本院治疗的136例老年T2DM患者并随机分组,对照组患者给予常规护理,试验组患者实施知识宣教辅助饮食指导。通过观察比较比较两组患者血糖达标时间、血糖波动次数、平均血糖漂移幅度、空腹血糖、餐后2 h血糖、糖化血红蛋白和血脂水平差异,本研究发现治疗后试验组患者血糖达标时间为(19.06±2.70) h、血糖波动次数为(2.01±0.94)次/d、平均血糖漂移幅度为(3.12±1.04) mmol/L,较对照组均明显改善(p<0.05);试验组患者空腹血糖为(6.01±0.18) mmol/L、餐后2 h血糖(8.31±0.32) mmol/L、糖化血红蛋白(6.39±0.65)%,明显低于对照组(p<0.05);试验组患者LDL-C为(2.49±0.02) mmol/L、TG为(1.12±0.02) mmol/L同对照组比较明显下降(p<0.05)。研究表明,针对老年T2DM患者给予饮食指导联合知识宣教可控制患者血糖和血脂水平,避免血糖波动,值得推广应用。     

Effects of sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors on serum uric acid in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review with an indirect comparison meta-analysis

To describe the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on serum uric acid (SUA) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). PubMed, EMBASE, and CENTRAL were searched for randomized controlled trials of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T2DM up to Aug 10, 2017, without language or date restrictions. Thirty-one studies totaling 13,650 patients were included. SGLT2 inhibitors significantly decreased SUA levels compared with placebo, canagliflozin WMD –37.02?μmol/L, 95% CI [–38.41, –35.63], dapagliflozin WMD –38.05?μmol/L, 95% CI [–44.47, –31.62], empagliflozin WMD –42.07?μmol/L, 95% CI [–46.27, –37.86]. The drug class effect of SUA reduction suggesting SGLT2 inhibitors might be beneficial for diabetic patients with hyperuricemia.     

Immunomodulation of carcinogens-induced steroids-dependent human diseases

The experimental and clinical data about antibodies against environmental chemical carcinogens and endogenous steroids are represented. The conception of immunomodulation of carcinogens- and steroids-dependent human diseases is proposed. It is postulated that antibodies to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines in cooperation with antibodies to cholesterol, sex hormones, mineralo- and glucocorticoids stimulate or inhibit cancer, malformation, cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases depending on their personal combination. It is recommended to use immunoassay of these antibodies for the human diseases prediction. The alternative approaches for prevention using the probiotics transformed by anti-carcinogen antibodies are substantiated.

奥利司他联合维生素E对肥胖多囊卵巢综合征不孕患者的代谢指标及免疫功能的影响

摘要 目的：探讨奥利司他联合维生素E对肥胖多囊卵巢综合征不孕患者的代谢指标及免疫功能的影响 。方法：选取2018年9月至2020年12月于我院进行多囊卵巢综合征治疗的61例患者,将其随机分为观察组和对照组,观察组31例,对照组30例。对照组采用常规治疗,观察组采用奥利司他联合维生素E治疗。比较两组患者空腹胰岛素（FINS)、空腹血糖（FPG)、三酰甘油（TG),免疫球蛋白（IgA、IgM、IgG)水平,排卵率、妊娠率、卵泡未破裂黄素化综合征（LUFS) 率。结果：两组患者经治疗3个月后,FINS、FPG、TG代谢指标均有所变化,且变化规律一致,组间比较差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05 );治疗前,两组IgA、IgM、IgG水平对比,差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05);治疗3个月后,两组IgA、IgM、IgG水平均明显高于治疗前（P＜0.05) ,且观察组明显高于对照组（P＜0.05) ;观察组排卵率、妊娠率均明显高于对照组（P＜0.05) ,LUFS率明显低于对照组（P＜0.05)。结论：应用奥利司他联合维生素E治疗肥胖多囊卵巢综合征不孕患者,可有效改善患者代谢水平,提高免疫功能,提高患者的排卵率、妊娠率,降低LUFS率,可应用于临床。     

Does the Spanish version of the SWLS measure the same in Spain and Peru?

AimSatisfaction with life is a measure of protection in older adults. There lies the importance of providing quality instruments. The aim of the study was to evaluate the invariance of the life satisfaction scale (SWLS) in two samples of older adults in Spain and Peru.MethodThe participants were 857 older adults in Spain (mean age = 68.23 years, SD = 5.93) and 336 older adults in Peru (average age = 72.42, SD = 7.07). All multi-group confirmatory factor analyzes were estimated in Mplus 8.0.ResultsThe results indicate the presence of a strict invariance of the one-dimensional structure of the SWLS in samples of older adults in Spain and Peru, which allows for meaningful comparisons of latent means and covariances. Comparison of latent means showed small differences in the construct between the cultural groups.ConclusionsThe SWLS is a valid instrument for intercultural comparisons between Spanish and Peruvian population. The measurement invariance assessment contributes to a better understanding of life satisfaction in populations from different cultural contexts.     

Bacillus cereus biofilm formation on central venous catheters of hospitalised cardiac patients

Formation of bacterial biofilms is a risk with many in situ medical devices. Biofilm-forming Bacillus species are associated with potentially life-threatening catheter-related blood stream infections in immunocompromised patients. Here, bacteria were isolated from biofilm-like structures within the lumen of central venous catheters (CVCs) from two patients admitted to cardiac hospital wards. Isolates belonged to the Bacillus cereus group, exhibited strong biofilm formation propensity, and mapped phylogenetically close to the B. cereus emetic cluster. Together, whole genome sequencing and quantitative PCR confirmed that the isolates constituted the same strain and possessed a range of genes important for and up-regulated during biofilm formation. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing demonstrated resistance to trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole, clindamycin, penicillin and ampicillin. Inspection of the genome revealed several chromosomal β-lactamase genes and a sulphonamide resistant variant of folP. This study clearly shows that B. cereus persisting in hospital ward environments may constitute a risk factor from repeated contamination of CVCs.     

Anti-Rhinosporidial Antibody Levels in Patients with Rhinosporidiosis and in Asymptomatic Persons,in Sri Lanka

The only report hitherto, from India in 1982, on anti-rhinosporidial antibody levels in patients with rhinosporidiosis recorded that antibody was not detected in Indian patients. The present report describes the use of the dot-ELISA assay of serum anti-rhinosporidial IgG, IgM and IgA and salivary sIgA in patients with diverse clinical presentations, in rural asymptomatic persons who had bathed in ground waters that probably harboured the causative pathogen, Rhinosporidium seeberi, and in laboratory persons who were exposed to R. seeberi. Ultrasonic extracts of purified endospores and sporangia of R. seeberi were used as antigen. The geometric mean (reciprocal) titres of serum antibody detected in patients were IgM 142.1, IgG 178.5, IgA 84.6, with ranges of 0-640, 30-960 and 0-160 respectively, salivary sIgA titres ranged from 0 to 18 with a mean of 4.6. The levels of antibody had no correlation with the site, the number of sporangia, duration and recurrence of the disease. Asymptomatic persons from the same endemic area as patients showed mean titres of IgM 89.6, IgG 69.1, IgA 95.5, with salivary sIgA titres of 3.1. Asymptomatic personnel who had been working in a laboratory where rhiniosporidial work was being done, showed mean titres of 169.6 IgM, 62.8 IgG, and 6.5 salivary sIgA. These results indicate that an anti-rhinosporidial antibody response occurs in rhinosporidial patients, as well as in asymptomatic persons who were exposed to R. seeberi in the environment. Anti-R. seeberi antibody does not appear to be protective in rhinosporidiosis since appreciable titres were present in patients with recurrent, single, multiple or disseminated lesions of long duration.
