Objective To investigate the changes of serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein level (hs CRP)and albuminuria (ALB) level in patients with prehypertension and to investigate the relationship between hs CRP and ALB. Methods Total FBG,TC,TG,BMI and LDL were measured in 110 patients with prehypertension and 87 normal controls. Serum CRP and ALB concentration was measured by ELISA. Results Serum hs-CRP,urinary albumin concentration in patients with prehypertension was significantly high and had difference between male and female (P

Objective To explore cardiovascular risk factors in patients of hypertension (HTN) complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver but normal aminotransferase. Methods Forty-four cases (control group) of uncomplicated hypertension and 56 cases (study group) of hypertension complicated with nonalcoholic fatty liver but normal aminotransferase were screened from those who visited physical examination center of the hospital for regular checks-up during October 2009 to June 2010. Blood pressure ( BP), body mass index ( BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total serum cholesterol (TC) , triglyceride (TG), highdensity lipoprotein-cholesterol ( HDL-C ), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( LDL-C ), gammaglutamyltransferase ( GGT ), uric acid ( UA ) , highly-sensitive C-reactive protein ( hs-CRP) and homocysteine (Hey) of the two groups were compared. Results Comparing with the control group, the study group had higher diastolic blood pressure ( DBP) (t = 1898. 5, P < 0. 05) , BMI (t = - 5. 036, P < 0.01), FPG (t= -2.026, P<0.05), TG (t = 1923. 5, P<0.05), GGT (t = 1789, P <0.01), UA 0 = 1715, P<0.01), hs-CRP (t = 1832.5, P < 0.01) and lower level of HDL-C (t =2357.0, P< 0. 01). Serum activity of GGT correlated positively with BMI (rs = 0. 349, P = 0. 000), TG ( rs = 0.413,P =0.000), UA (rs =0.446, P= 0.000) and hs-CRP (rs =0.350, P = 0.000), respectively.Conclusions When patients of hypertension complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver but normal aminotransferase, their cardiovascular risk factors clustered further, with serum activity of GGT obviously increased which correlated positively with various risk factors, indicating increase in cardiovascular risks.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between serum inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), C reactive protein (CRP) and prognosis in elderly patients with severe pneumonia. Methods: From May 2015 to September 2017, 82 cases with severe pneumonia in Shanxi Dayi Hospital were selected as severe pneumonia group, during the same period, 67 elderly patients with common pneumonia in Shanxi Dayi Hospital were selected as common pneumonia group.According to the outcome of severe pneumonia, the patients were divided into survival group and death group.The serum levels of IL-10, IL-6, TNF-alpha and CRP were detected.The correlation between the inflammatory factors and the prognosis of elderly patients with severe pneumonia was analyzed. Results: The serum levels of IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha, CRP in the severe pneumonia group were (88.34±11.62)pg/mL, (16.87±3.52)pg/mL, (69.35±10.26)ng/L, (27.81±5.54)mg/L, respectively, which in the common pneumonia group were (35.61±10.45)pg/mL, (8.12±1.37)pg/mL, (27.79±6.34)ng/L, (5.93±1.42)mg/L, respectively, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (t=12.154, 8.637, 10.872, 6.993, all P<0.05). Of 82 elderly patients with severe pneumonia, 12 cases died, 70 cases survived, the serum levels of IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha, CRP in the survival group were (75.93±10.21)pg/mL, (12.93±2.31)pg/mL, (58.32±8.17)ng/L, (23.42±3.38)mg/L, respectively, which in the death group were (94.11±15.32)pg/mL, (19.12±3.78)pg/mL, (72.16±11.59)ng/L, (34.91±6.54)mg/L, respectively, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (t=10.976, 5.618, 8.742, 9.013, all P<0.05). The correlation analysis showed that IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha, CRP were positively correlated with the prognosis of senile patients with severe pneumonia (r=0.793, 0.332, 0.528, 0.814, all P<0.05). Conclusion There is a significant correlation between IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha, CRP and prognosis of elderly patients with severe pneumonia, which is helpful for the prognosis evaluation of elderly patients with severe pneumonia.
