Objective To explore the significance of serum cystatin C (Cys C)and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) levels in blood and urine samples in hypertension grading and risk stratifying. Methods One hundred and thirty six cases with primary hypertension were enrolled into the study and classified into three grades and four risk stratifications. The serum Cys C levels were determined by ELISA assay. The blood and urine β2-MG were measured by radioimmunoassay. The serum BUN, Cr concentration were measured by the automatic biochemical analyzer. Results The positive rates of urine β2-MG were the highest index in patients with grade 1 (32%) and low risk hypertension( 8% ) ,followed by serum Cys C levels( grade 1 hypertension 24% ) ,compared with other indices( Ps < 0. 05 ). With the blood pressure elevating, as well as the risk stratification increasing,serum Cys C level and the blood, urine β2-MG levels increased gradually by grading and stratifications (Ps <0. 05 or Ps <0. 01 ). We also found linear regression relationship between serum Cys C ,urine β2-MG levels and the risk stratifications of hypertension( r =0. 851 and r =0. 469 respectively,Ps <0. 01 ). The significant changes of serum BUN,Cr were only found in patients with grade 3 or very high-risk hypertension. Conclusion Joint detection of serum Cys C and urine β2-MG may help to detect early glomerular and tubular dysfunction in primary hypertension patients. Serum Cys C and blood, urine β2-MG levels are also related with the occurrence and development of hypertension,which show clinical significance in hypertension prognosis.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of patients with pituitary thyrotropin-secreting adenoma and evaluate the effect of preoperative short-acting octreotide treatment on hyperthyroidism.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed in 40 patients with pituitary thyrotropin adenoma diagnosed in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from January 2008 to January 2018. The general data, laboratory examinations and imaging findings were reviewed and analyzed. The clinical effect of preoperative octreotide on hyperthyroidism was evaluated.Results:The age of onset year of the 40 patients (male: female = 24∶16) was (30.5±5.1) years. Among them, 35 patients (87.5%) were with macroadenoma. The most common symptoms were thyroid hypermetabolism syndrome, followed by headache, dizziness, visual field damage and hypogonadism. The thyroid function of 30 patients (75%) recovered to normal within 3-5 days after the octreotide treatment. The total effective rate of the octreotide was 90.0%. The level of free thyroxine (FT 4) before treatment in patients with more than 10 times of effective cumulative dose was significantly higher than that in patients with less than 10 doses. Conclusions:Thyroid hypermetabolism syndrome and pituitary occupying effect are the most common clinical manifestations of thyrotropin-secreting adenoma. Preoperative octreotide treatment can effectively control hyperthyroidism. The level of FT 4 is a crucial factor affecting the efficacy of octreotide.
