Objective To compare the serum index after colonoscopy high-frequency electric snare combined with nylon cord ligation and high-frequency electric resection in treating broad pedicle polyps. Methods 70 cases of broad pedicle polyps patients from July 2012 to May 2016 were chosen as research object. The operation methods and laboratory examination results of all the patients were reviewed. All patients were divided into observation group (n = 37) and control group (n = 33). Patients in observation group were treated by colonoscopy high-frequency electric snare combined with nylon loop ligation, while patients in control group were treated by high-frequency electric resection only. The blood loss and related indexes of the two groups were recorded. Before and after operation, stress hormones and acute phase proteins in serum was determined. Results Intraoperative blood loss of observation group was less than that in control group, postoperative hemoglobin levels was higher than that in control group, postoperative early bleeding rate, postoperative delayed bleeding rate of observation group were lower than that in control group (P < 0.05); 1 hour after surgery, Cor, ACTH, AT II, NE, CRP, SAA, AAT in serum were lower than those in control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Through colonoscopy high-frequency electric snare combined with nylon cord ligation can reduce bleeding during and after surgery, relieve stress and inflammation.

Objectives:the purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the clinical value of cytokines in autoimmune diseases (AID). It was a kind of complex disease, and its pathogenesis involved cytokines, autoantibodies, immune cells and other immune factors. Especially some AID, such as Adult still′s disease (AOSD) and Takayasu arteritis(TA), had no specific biomarkers at present. This study was a retrospective case-control study.Methods:the data of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8(IL-8) and interleukin-10(IL-10) in 834 AID patients from January 2019 to August 2022 were collected, and the serum levels of those cytokines in 30 healthy controls (HC) were detected at the same time. And AOSD, TA, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Behcet′s syndrome (BS) were divided into active group and inactive group. In addition, we also made a subgroup analysis of two important organs involved in SLE (kidney and nervous system). GraphPad Prism 9 and R 4.2.2 software were used. Nonparametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis H test, Mann-Whitney U test) were used to compare the differences among groups, and Dunn′s method was used to correct the false positive caused by multiple tests. Results:To compare the level of IL-6 in each group, except Behcet syndrome (BS) group and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) group, the serum IL-6 level of AID group was higher than that of HC group, with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies associated vasculitis(AAV) [3.85(2.00,8.55) pg/ml], idiopathic inflammatory myopathies(IIM) [7.80(2.50,6.50)pg/ml], IgG4-related disease(IgG4RD) [3.65(2.08,12.83) pg/ml], rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [5.50(2.20,16.10) pg/ml], SLE[4.70(2.75,16.55) pg/ml], Sj?gren syndrome(SS) [3.20(2.00,8.90) pg/ml], systemic sclerosis(SSc) [2.70(2.00,8.90) pg/ml], TA[3.40 (2.00,6.50) pg/ml], other AID diseases[4.40(2.00,11.10) pg/ml], especially AOSD [15.20(2.10, 39.20) pg/ml]. After correction, the differences were statistically significant ( P c<0.05). At the same time, the levels of serum TNF-α [7.40(5.60,10.95) pg/ml]and IL-10 [5.00(5.00, 7.58) pg/ml] in AOSD group were significantly higher than those in HC group[7.15(5.93,8.00) pg/ml,5.00(5.00,5.00) pg/ml] after correction ( P c<0.05). At the same time, the levels of serum TNF-α and IL-10 in AOSD group were higher than those in HC group. The serum levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in patients with active AOSD, BS, SLE and TA were significantly higher than those in patients without active disease (all P<0.05). In addition, the level of serum IL-8 in lupus nephritis group was significantly higher than that in non-lupus nephritis group ( P<0.05). At the same time, the serum levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α in neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus group were significantly higher than those in non-neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus group ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in IL-10 between neuropsychiatric lupus group and non-neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus group. Conclusions:there was a close relationship between AID and cytokines. At present, the change of serum IL-6 level was the most classic one in clinical routine.

Objective:Early identification of ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion can improve referral efficiency and shorten reperfusion time. The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of patients with large vessel occlusion and identify factors that could predict large vessel occlusion.Methods:The clinical data of 432 patients with ischemic stroke treated through emergency green channel were retrospectively analyzed, and the differences between the large vessel occlusion group (LVO group) and the non-large vessel occlusion group (non-LVO group) were compared, and two independent risk factors of the LVO group were screened out by logistics regression analysis: baseline NIHSS score and D-dimer value. The predicted cutoff values of NIHSS score and D-dimer were further determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:A total of 432 patients with ischemic stroke had complete imaging data, with a mean age of 68.5±12.4 years, including 275 (63.7%) males, and 245 (56.7%) in the LVO group and 187 (43.3%) in the non-LVO group. Age, hemorrhagic transformation, thrombolytic therapy, endovascular treatment, atrial fibrillation, baseline NIHSS score [14.0 (6.0-20.0) vs. 3.0 (1.0-6.0), P<0.05], and D-dimer value at admission [0.9(0.4-2.3) mg/L vs. 0.3 (0.2-0.5)mg/L, P<0.05] were statistically significant different between the two groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that higher baseline NIHSS score( OR=1.22,95% CI: 1.17-1.27)and higher D-dimer value( OR=3.10,95% CI: 2.14-4.47)were independent risk factors for large vessel occlusion. Baseline NIHSS score combined with D-dimer value was a good predictor of large vessel occlusion(AUC 0.85 [0.81-0.89]). ROC curve suggested that NIHSS score >6.5 and D-dimer >0.57 mg/L were the cutoff values for predicting large vessel occlusion. Conclusions:Higher baseline NIHSS score and D-dimer value are valuable for early prediction of large vessel occlusion, patients with NIHSS score >6.5 points and D-dimer >0.57 mg/L should be promptly transported to an advanced stroke center for treatment.
