Objective To study the values of glycosylated hemoglobin in screening for patients with prediabetic state in Guang-zhou region .Methods 525 Guangzhou people who had accepted health examination were enrolled and were subjected to oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) .BIO-RAD D-10 automatic glycosylated hemoglobin analyzer was employed to detect their glycosylated he-moglobin A1c(GHbA1c) .OGTT results were served as diagnostic criteria ,Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to obtain the optimal threshold of GHbA1c in diagnosing impaired glucose regulation (IGR) .Results The optimal threshold of GHbA1c in diagnosing IGR was 5 .95% .The sensitivities of GHbA1c≥5 .95% and GHbA1c≥5 .7% in diagnosing IGR were 53 .3% and 84 .8% ,respectively ,while their specificities were 72 .8% and 31 .0% ,respectively .The difference of sensitivity between GHbA1c≥5 .95% combined with FPG≥5 .6 mmol/L and GHbA1c≥5 .7% alone in diagnosing IGR showed no statistical significance(P= 0 .406) ,while the specificity increased obviously (P= 0 .000) .Conclusion The criteria of GHbA1c≥5 .7% can be used for prediabetic state screening but not for diagnosis .GHbA1c≥5 .95% combined with FPG≥5 .6 mmol/L can be used effectively for prediabetic state screening in Guangzhou people .

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of multimodal"one-stop"CT in assessing acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods:A total of 98 patients who were diagnosed as AIS and underwent the treatment of intravenous thrombolysis in Department of Neurology of Huainan Chaoyang Hospital from December 2019 to July 2023 were selected.In them,the degree of vascular stenosis of 49 patients was<30%(mild stenosis),and that of 39 patients was 30%~69%(moderate stenosis),and that of 10 patients was 70%~99%(severe stenosis)and 100%occlusion(severe group).All subjects underwent multimodal"one-stop"CT scan,and the changes of perfusion parameters included time to peak(TTP),mean transit time(MTT),cerebral blood flow(rCBF)and cerebral blood volume(rCBV)of them were analyzed.Results:All 98 patients existed stenosis at different locations and degrees,and CT examination showed existed respectively 5 cases of suspicious low density foci in frontal lobe and parietal lobe.Post-processing pseudo-color map showed that all 98 cases had abnormal hypoperfusion.The responsible vessel of 25 cases with occlusion and 20 cases with stenosis was the cerebral middle artery,and that of 3 cases with occlusion and 7 cases with stenosis was posterior artery,and that of 7 cases was internal carotid artery,and that of 3 cases with occlusion and 5 cases with stenosis was basilar artery,and that of 7 cases with occlusion and 18 cases with stenosis was vertebrobasilar artery.In addition,3 cases existed arteriosclerosis.There were significant differences in the average levels of rCBF,rCBV,MTT and TTP among patients with different degrees of stenosis,and the differences were all statistically significant(F=66.689,46.751,3.401,41.565,P<0.05),respectively.The area under curve(AUC)values of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves of rCBF,rCBV,MTT and TTP were all>0.5 in assessing AIS,and the AUC value of the combined examination of above indicators was higher than the AUC value of each single indicator of the above indicators.Conclusion:Brilliance iCT multimodal"one-stop"CT scan can comprehensively understand the vascular morphology and stenosis location of the head and neck,and effectively assess responsible vessels,and provide perfusion parameters of whole brain.This technique can improve the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment decision,which has important impact in improving the efficacy of cerebral stroke.It can provide the basis for the selection of subsequent treatment plan and the prognosis judgment.
