ObjectiveTo investigate the values of C-reactive protein (CRP) and pleural effusion in predicting the severity in the early stage of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) . Methods A total of 89patients with acute pancreatitis were collected from October 2008 through October 2010 for retrospective analysis. Patients were divided into two groups, namely mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) group and SAP group as per the Guidelines for Clinical Diagnosis and Classification of Acute Pancreatitis set by the Society of Chinese Medical Association in 2003. The levels of CRP were measured on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th days after admission. Pleural effusion was also observed on the 1 st day after admission. The data of two groups were analyzed and compared. ResultsThere were significant differences in CRP at all intervals between SAP group and MAP group (P ＜0.05) . The relative risk of increase in CRP ( ＞ 150 mg/L),pleural effusion and increase in CRP along with pleural effusion were analyzed, and each of these three markers can be used as an independent severity factor of SAP. Particularly, increase in CRP along with pleural effusion could be most sensitive in predicting the severity of SAP with relative risk (RR) to be 4. 8 and specificity of predictive value to be 100％. ConclusionsC-reactive protein and pleural effusion are available, simple and economic biomarkers which can help us predict the risk of acute pancreatitis in the early stage.

ObjectiveTo study the effects on hemodynamics of portal venous system of splenorenal shunt plus pericardia devascularization (SRS+PCDV), and evaluate the clinical significance of this operative procedure.MethodsThe hemodynamic parameters of portal venous system by Doppler color-flow imaging (DCFI) of 99 patients with portal hypertension (PH) were measured before and after operation.Results(1)In SRS group the postoperative portal venous flow (PVF), free portal pressure(FPP) decreased by (57?9)%, (52?5)% respectively (P0.05).(3)In SRS+PCDV group PVF,FPP decreased by (36?8)%, (34?10)% respectively(P

Objective To investigate the level changes of plasma insulin,serum lipids in type 2 diabetes with cholelithiasis.Methods 159 cases of types 2 diabetic patients was studied during recently 3 years in our department of endocrinology,the levels of blood glucose,plasma insulin and insulin sensitivity index(ISI),serum lipids,apolipoproteins(ApoA 1,B) were measured both fasting and post-prandial,and investigated their correlation between type 2 diabetic patients with cholelithiasis(n=103) and without cholelithiasis(n=56).Results Female was predominated in fifty-six diabetic with cholelithiasis,they had higher triglyceride(TG),fasting or post-prandial insulins,ApoA 1,ApoB,the top body weight index and lower ISI than 103 diabetics without cholelithiasis.There were no significant differences in total cholesterol(CH),HDL-Ch,LDL-Ch,blood glucose concentrations between the groups.Conclusions Obesity,insulin resistance and lipids metabolic disturbance might be related to the development of cholelithiasis in type 2 diabetic patients.

Objective To extract the specific symptoms of TCM syndromes of chronic fatigue (CF). Methods Epidemiological cluster sampling method was used in this trial. Totally 782 cases of CF patients were selected from universities,secondary schools,primary schools and hospitals of southern Fujian province. The subjects filled in "Scale of Clinical Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue" to record the clinical data of symptoms,tongue,and pulse for the diagnosis of specific TCM symptoms. The random forest (RF) method was adopted to encode the 95 symptoms extracted from the above-mentioned scale to select the main symptoms of common syndromes of CF and to measure the contribution of symptoms to the syndromes. Results Symptom groups of 4 syndromes of CF were achieved. Spleen deficiency syndrome:abdominal distention after eating or in afternoon,loss of appetite,sallow completion,loose stools,and emaciation; Heart deficiency syndrome:palpitation,chest fullness,thready pulse,insomnia or dream-disturbed sleep,and forgetfulness; Liver stagnation syndrome:hot temper or depression,sighing,bitter taste,dry throat,and string-taut pulse; Qi deficiency syndrome:swollen tongue with toothprints,shortness of breath,abrupt breathing,inactive talking,and spontaneous sweating. When the symptoms were inputted to the models,the model prediction accuracy was 96.13%,94.75%,95.89%,and 94.26% respectively. Conclusion The RF method has a good classification function on the syndromes of CF. Spleen deficiency syndrome,heart deficiency syndrome,liver stagnation syndrome,and qi deficiency syndrome are commonly appeared syndromes,each of them is provided with its own specific symptoms.
