Objective To study the relationship between serum iron, serum ferritin and alcoholic fatty liver(AFL), nonalcoholic fatty liver(NFAL). Methods The liver specimens of 97 patients with fatty liver were obtained by 1 second liver biopsy, and were further stained by haematoxylin eosin(HE) and Perl's Prussian. Meanwhile the serum levels of iron and ferritin were detected by atomic absorption spectrum and radioimmunoassay respectively. Results Compare to the control group ((10.5?5.7)?mol/L, (143.3?71.9)ng/ml),the serum levels of iron and ferritin were obviously high in patients with severe NAFL ((21.5 ?11.1 ) ?mol/L , (199.3?72.1)ng/ml) or moderate AFL((20.9? 9.3 )?mol/L,(217.6.0?71.8)ng/ml) and severe AFL ((29.1?6.5) ?mol/L ,(284.7?77.9)ng/ml) ( P

Objective To investigate the clinical application of the fine needle aspiration on spleen by ultrasonic guidance.Methods The fine needle aspiration by ultrasonic guidance was performed on 36 patients with spleen diseases.Among them,29 patients underwent diagnostic puncture,and the other 7 patients underwent remedial puncture.The definite diagnosis rate of the diagnostic puncture group was calculated by organism pathology and cytology result,as well as final diagnosis after the operation,while the curative effect of the remedial puncture group was appraised by re-examination after the operation.Results The definite diagnosis rate of the diagnostic puncture was higher,and the definite diagnosis rate of histology biopsy group(85.7%)was higher than that of cytology aspiration group(62.5%).All the patients who took remedial puncture were cured.Conclusion The fine needle aspiration on spleen by ultrasonic guidance has very important practical value in identifying the diagnosis of spleen disorders and treating fluidity processes of spleen.
