摘要： Liver cirrhosis is an important cause of chronic liver cancer.At present,a breakthrough has been achieved in the development of chronic hepatitis C treatment,but there is no effective measure to completely cure chronic hepatitis B.Porphyrins are a class of macromolecular heterocyclic compounds formed by interconnecting the a-carbon atoms of four pyrrole-like substituents through hypomethyl bonds.Porphyrins and their derivatives widely exist in organelles related to energy transfer in organisms.They are mainly involved in the synthesis of heme in human body.Heme is an iron-containing porphyrin compound,15-20% of which is synthesized and utilized in the liver.Studies have found that porphyrin metabolism disorder can occur in patients with chronic liver disease.The early stage of viral hepatitis is accompanied by increased production of porphyrins and their compounds,increased levels of peripheral circulating porphyrins,porphyrin cholestasis,and biochemical changes of free porphyrins which precede the histological changes.The accumulation of serum and liver protoporphyrins and the oxidative stress can cause liver and extrahepatic damage.On the one hand,porphyrin metabolism disorder can aggravate chronic liver disease,and even progress to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.On the other hand,chronic liver disease can also aggravate porphyrin metabolism disorder,recurrent attacks,and damage to liver and extrahepatic tissues and organs.

摘要： Objective: To explore the consistency and relevance of the results of the bedside rapid blood gas analyzer GEM premier 3000, the Vitros5.1+5600 biochemical immunoassay analyzer and the SYSMEX XN-9000 automatic blood cell analyzer in the central laboratory detecting serum potassium (K+), serumsodium (Na+), blood glucose (Glu), hemoglobin (Hb) and red blood cell volume (Hct). And to provide a reference for the accurate interpretation of the bedside blood gas analysis report. Method: Usually, ICU patients will be taken arterial blood gas, biochemical and blood samples through the arterial indwelling needle;at the same time patients’ potassium, serum sodium, blood glucose, hemoglobin and red blood cell volume will be detected. This study implemented paired t-test and correlation regression analysis on each group of data, and used the analysis quality requirements (allowable total error) of CLIA’88 proficiency testing program as the criteria for clinical acceptance. Results: The paired t-test showed that the serum potassium, serum sodium and blood glucose detected by GEM premier 3000 and Vitros5.1+5600 were significantly different;and the hemoglobin and red blood cell volume detected by GEM premier 3000 and SYSMEX XN-9000 were significantly different (P +, Na+, Glu, Hb and Hct detected by the two sets of instruments is less than the allowable error of CLIA’88, and the SE of blood Na+ and Hb is less than half of the allowable error of CLIA’88. Conclusion: The test results of GEM premier 3000, the central laboratory Vitros5.1+5600 and SYSMEX XN-9000 have good correlation, but the consistency is not good. The test results of GEM premier 3000 cannot replace the central laboratory.

摘要： The aim of this study is to assess the association between polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and hematological parameters [hemoglobin, red cell parameters, white blood cells (WBCs), platelets volume (MPV)]. This is a matched case-control study (60 women in each arm of the study) which was conducted in Saad Abualila infertility center Hospital in Khartoum, Sudan. Infertile women with PCOS were the cases and healthy non pregnant women were the controls. The gynecological characteristics were gathered through questionnaire and blood samples were analyzed for different blood parameters by automated hematology analyzer. While the two groups were matched in their age;body mass index was significantly higher in women with PCOs compared to the normal control. The investigated different hematological parameters (hemoglobin, RBCs, RDW, WBCs, platelets and MPV) showed no statistical difference between the women with PCOS and the controls.

摘要： BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)is a risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).AIM To determine the prevalence and clinical correlates of NAFLD in a large cohort of patients with T2DM.METHODS Four hundred thirty-seven participants with T2DM who consulted at Meijo Hospital from April 2019 to September 2020 and underwent computed tomography(CT)were assessed.The mean age was 74±13 years,and 269 were men.Hepatic attenuation minus splenic attenuation(CTL−S)less than 1 Hounsfield unit was considered fatty liver.NAFLD was defined as fatty liver in the absence of significant alcohol consumption and hepatitis virus infection.A multiple logistic regression was used to assess the independent factors associated with NAFLD.RESULTS NAFLD was identified in 25.2%of the participants.Young age(odds ratio[OR]=−0.945;95%confidence interval[CI]:0.922–0.969),higher hemoglobin levels(OR=1.501,95%CI:1.278–1.764),lower high-density lipoprotein(HDL)cholesterol levels(OR=0.971,95%CI:0.953–0.989),and the absence of dialysis(OR=0.109,95%CI:0.014–0.856)were independent predictors of NAFLD.CONCLUSION NAFLD was detected with CT in 25.2%of the participants.NAFLD was associated with younger age,higher hemoglobin levels,lower HDL cholesterol levels,and an absence of dialysis.

摘要： Introduction: The physiological status of a subject and the pathophysiology in some diseases might be under the influence of haptoglobin phenotype. The objective of this work was to determine the relationship between mortality from HIV/AIDS infection and haptoglobin phenotype in a black population in Côte d’Ivoire. Methods: The study was conducted from a retrospective panel of 933 sera/plasma from the previous workup of the ANRS 12136 TEMPRANO trial at month 0 of patients in deferred-ART arms. For each subject, we determined the serum haptoglobin concentration, haptoglobin phenotype, and other variables from patient files from the TEMPRANO trial database. Statistical tests used were Chi-2, Fischer, and Kruskal-Wallis tests for non-gaussian distribution. We used the Kaplan-Meier method for survival analysis. Results: The distributions of the haptoglobin phenotypes were 32.3% for Hp 1-1, 39.5% for Hp 2-1 and 27.2% for Hp 2-2. The blood haptoglobin concentration seemed to be associated with haptoglobin phenotypes (p-value > 5%). The survival rate at M30 and for an extended follow-up up to 6 years was independent of haptoglobin phenotype (p-value > 5%). Besides, the haptoglobin phenotypes do not appear to be associated with CD4+ T-cell count and with hemoglobin concentration. Conclusion: Haptoglobin phenotype seems to not impact the mortality of HIV/AIDS infection. However, given the antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties of some haptoglobin phenotypes, it would be relevant to seek out possible confounding factors indirectly associated with haptoglobin phenotypes and clinical or biological infection variables.

摘要： BACKGROUND Maximum surgical blood order schedules were designed to eliminate unnecessary preoperative crossmatching prior to surgery in order to conserve blood bank resources.Most protocols recommend type and cross of 2 red blood cell(RBC)units for patients undergoing surgery for treatment of hip fracture.Preoperative hemoglobin has been identified as the strongest predictor of inpatient transfusion,but current maximum surgical blood order schedules do not consider preoperative hemoglobin values to determine the number of RBC units to prepare prior to surgery.AIM To determine the preoperative hemoglobin level resulting in the optimal 2:1 crossmatch-to-transfusion(C:T)ratio in hip fracture surgery patients.METHODS In 2015 a patient blood management(PBM)program was implemented at our institution mandating a single unit-per-occurrence transfusion policy and a restrictive transfusion threshold of1 RBC unit was predicted by 11.2g/dL[AUC 0.80(95%CI,0.74-0.85),Sensitivity 0.87]in the pre PBM cohort and 8.7g/dL[AUC 0.78(95%CI,0.73-0.83),Sensitivity 0.84]in the post-PBM cohort.CONCLUSION The hip fracture maximum surgical blood order schedule should consider preoperative hemoglobin in determining the number of units to type and cross prior to surgery.

摘要： BACKGROUND Deep endometriosis(DE)is the most aggressive subtype of endometriosis.The diagnosis may be challenging,and no biomarkers that can discriminate women with DE from those without DE have been developed.AIM To evaluate the role of blood hemostatic parameters and inflammatory indices in the prediction of DE.METHODS This case-control study was performed at the Women’s Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine between January 2015 and December 2016.Women with DE and women with benign gynecologic disease(control group)eligible for gynecological surgery were enrolled.Routine plasma hemostatic parameters and inflammatory indices were obtained before surgery.Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were generated,and areas under the curve(AUC)were calculated to assess the predictive values of the selected parameters.RESULTS A total of 126 women were enrolled,including 31 with DE and 95 controls.Plasma fibrinogen(Fg,P<0.01),international normalized ratio(P<0.05),and Creactive protein levels(P<0.01)were significantly higher in women with DE compared with controls.Plasma hemoglobin(HB)levels(P<0.05)and shortened thrombin time(P<0.05)were significantly lower in women with DE than in controls.Plasma Fg levels[adjusted OR(aOR)2.12,95%confidence interval(CI):1.31-3.75]and plasma HB levels(aOR 0.48,95%CI:0.29-0.78)were significantly associated with DE(both P<0.05).ROC analysis showed that the diagnostic value of Fg or HB alone for DE was limited.The AUC of the combination of both markers as a dual marker index was 0.773 with improved sensitivity(67.7%)and specificity(78.9%)at cutoffs of 3.09 g/L and 126 g/L,respectively.CONCLUSION The combination of Fg and HB was a reliable predictor of DE.A larger study is needed to confirm the findings.

摘要： Objectives: The present study estimated the prevalence of anemia among children and adolescents with pediatric rheumatological diseases in a referral center, and analyzed the associated clinical and biological parameters. Methods: A retrospective chart review included 49 children with rheumatological diseases, who were diagnosed by a pediatric rheumatologist and classified according to the International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) guidelines and criteria endorsed by the American College of Rheumatologists. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin level lower than the 5th centile for the corresponding age and gender. Disease activity was indicated by serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), where available. Results: Participants were aged 2 - 18 years (mean ± SD = 10.41 ± 4.23 years), 38 (77.6%) of them had JIA, and 8 (16.3%) had systemic lupus erythematosus. The most frequent subtype of JIA was the polyarticular (16 out of 38, 42.1%), followed by systemic (14, 36.8%). The prevalence of anemia was 46.9% (95% CI = 32.5% - 61.7%), with no significant difference between JIA and other diseases or between the different JIA subtypes. Nevertheless, anemia was more frequently observed in younger patients (age 2 - 6 years: 69.2% vs Conclusion: Anemia is frequent in JIA and other rheumatologic diseases in children, concerning approximately 50% of the patients and responding to anemia of inflammation as the major pathophysiological mechanism. Further research is warranted to provide more accurate insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical characteristics of anemia in pediatric rheumatological disease and to measure its morbidity, to provide efficient and evidence-based management strategies.

摘要： BACKGROUND Anaemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD)and is a major risk factor that contributes to mortality in such patients.Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)is one of the leading causes of CKD.The association between admission hemoglobin levels and renal damage in patients with T2DM remains unclear.AIM To evaluate the relationship between admission hemoglobin levels and prognosis in patients with T2DM.METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 265 consecutive patients presenting with T2DM between 2011 and 2015.The composite endpoint was end-stage renal disease or a 50%reduction in the estimated glomerular filtration rate.RESULTS In multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models(adjusting for demographic factors,traditional risk factors,lipids),the adjusted hazard ratios(HRs)for the highest and middle tertiles compared to the lowest tertile of hemoglobin were 0.82(95%CI:0.11-6.26,P=0.8457)and 0.28(95%CI:0.09-0.85,P=0.0246),respectively.However,after further adjustment for glycaemia control,hemoglobin was positively related to the risk of the composite endpoint(HR:1.05,95%CI:0.14-8.09,P=0.9602)when the highest tertile was compared to the lowest tertile of hemoglobin.We found a U-shaped relationship between hemoglobin levels and the composite endpoint.The curve tended to reach the lowest level at an optimal hemoglobin level.CONCLUSION Among patients with T2DM,a U-shaped relationship was observed between hemoglobin levels and renal damage.A lower admission hemoglobin level(hemoglobin<13.3 g/dL)is an independent predictor of renal damage.
