Objective To explore the prevalence and clinical significance of metabolic disorder of lipids, glucose and uric acid at different fibrosis stages of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Methods From January 2006 to December 2014, 1 812 CHB patients in Department of Infectious Diseases, Shunde Hospital of Southern Medical University were retrospectively enrolled and analyzed.All biochemistry indexes were obtained by automatic biochemical instrument.Polymerase chain reaction was used for detecting serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, and particles immune detection kit was used for detecting hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg).In statistical analyses, chi-square test, nonparametric test and Logistic analysis were used.Results The metabolic disorder prevalence in 1 812 CHB patients was as follows, 455 cases (25.1%) with decreased high density lipoprotein, 435 cases (24.0%) with increased uric acid, 342 cases (18.9%) with increased total cholesterol, 254 cases (14.0%) with increased triglyceride, 171 cases (9.4%) with decreased apolipoprotein A, 165 cases (9.1%) with increased apolipoprotein B, 162 cases (8.9%) with increased low density lipoprotein and 117 cases (6.5%) increased fasting blood glucose.Patients who had mild liver fibrosis tended to have metabolic disorders of uric acid (26.4%), total cholesterol (22.8%) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (20.5%).Patients who had moderate liver fibrosis tended to have metabolic disorders of high density lipoprotein (27.2%) and uric acid (20.9%).Patients who had severe liver fibrosis tended to have metabolic disorders of high density lipoprotein (33.6%) and uric acid (22.2%).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that inflammation activty (OR=17.31, 95% CI: 13.410-22.336, P=0.001), age (OR=1.019, 95%CI:1.005-1.035, P=0.010), sex (OR=1.497, 95% CI: 1.061-2.111, P=0.022), apolipoprotein A (OR=0.50, 95% CI: 0.281-0.892, P=0.019) and HBV DNA (OR=0.904, 95% CI: 0.858-0.952, P=0.001) may be independent predictors of moderate and severe liver fibrosis.Conclusions CHB patients with mild liver fibrosis tend to have metabolic disorders of uric acid, total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol;patients with moderate liver fibrosis tend to have metabolic disorders of high density lipoprotein and uric acid;and patients with severe liver fibrosis tend to have metabolic disorders of high density lipoprotein and uric acid.

Objective To explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in improving the diagnosis ability for xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis ( XGC ) and wall-thickening gallbladder cancer ( GBC) . Methods Forth-three patients with XGCs and 31 patients with wall-thickening GBCs proved by pathology were enrolled in this study ,the features on conventional ultrasound and CEUS were recorded ,and the preliminary diagnosis before and after CEUS were given by doctors . Results Significant differences were found in continuous gallbladder inner wall and arterial blood supplement on conventional ultrasound , 58 .1％ (25/43) had continuous inner wall and 34 .9％ (15/43) had arterial blood flow in XGCs compared to 19 .4％ (6/31) and 100％ in GBCs . On CEUS ,72 .1％ (31/43) demonstrated continuous gallbladder inner wall and 48 .8％ (21/43) had hypoechoic nodules in the wall in XGCs compared to 16 .1％ (5/31) and 19 .4％ (6/31) in GBCs ,respectively ( P <0 .05) . No significant difference was found in intra-calcification , infiltration to adjacent organs ,gallbladder stones and fast-in and fast-out enhanced pattern( P >0 .05) . The area under ROC curve was improved from 0 .701 to 0 .899 after combining with CEUS ( P < 0 .05 ) . Conclusions Conventional ultrasound combining with CEUS could help acquiring more effective ultrasonic information and may improve the differential diagnosis ability of XGCs and GBCs .
