Objective To investigate the relationship between serum neutrophil elastase(NE),Sortilin and carotid atherosclerotic(CAS)plaque in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI)and its predictive value for poor prognosis.Methods A total of 155 patients with ACI admitted to Daxing Teaching Hospital of Cap-ital Medical University from December 2020 to November 2022 were selected as the study objects.According to carotid intima-media thickness(IMT),they were divided into normal IMT group,thickened group and plaque group,and 40 healthy subjects were selected as control group during the same period.The serum levels of NE and Sortilin in all groups were compared and their correlations with IMT were analyzed.ACI patients were followed up for 3 months and divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group.Serum NE and Sortilin levels were compared between the two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to ana-lyze the risk factors of poor prognosis in ACI patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to predict prognosis.Results The levels of serum NE and Sortilin in control group,IMT normal group,thick-ened group and plaque group were increased successively(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum NE and Sortilin levels were positively correlated with IMT(r=0.509,0.483,P<0.05).The incidence of poor prognosis in ACI patients was 39.35%.The proportion of diabetes mellitus,age,admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score,low density lipoprotein cholesterol,total cholesterol,fasting blood glucose,white blood cell count,serum creatinine,NE,uric acid(UA)and Sortilin levels in poor progno-sis group were higher than those in good prognosis group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that admission NIHSS score and UA,NE and Sortilin levels were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in ACI patients(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of serum NE,Sortilin and UA alone and combined to predict poor prognosis were 0.695,0.740,0.752 and 0.869,respective-ly.The combined prediction efficiency of serum NE,Sortilin and UA was higher than that of single detection of each indicator.Conclusion The increase of serum NE and Sortilin levels in ACI patients is positively corre-lated with CAS,and is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in ACI patients.Detection of serum NE and Sortilin levels could help predict the short-term prognosis of ACI patients.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of serum sorting protein (Sortilin) combined with extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducible factor (EMMPRIN) for in stent restenosis (ISR) after carotid artery stent placement (CAS).Methods:A total of 197 patients with carotid artery stenosis who underwent CAS treatment at the Capital Medical University Daxing Teaching Hospital from January 2018 to October 2020 were selected as the study subjects. All patients were followed up for 24 months after surgery and were divided into an ISR group (28 cases) and a non ISR group (169 cases) based on the occurrence of ISR. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect and compare the preoperative serum Sortilin and EMMPRIN levels between the two groups. We collected clinical data from patients and analyzed the influencing factors of post CAS ISR using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of serum Sortilin and EMMPRIN for postoperative ISR in CAS.Results:The serum Sortilin, EMMPRIN, age, proportion of concomitant hypertension, degree of preoperative stenosis, neutrophil count (NEUT), platelet count (PLT), white blood cell count (WBC), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) in the ISR group were higher than those in the non ISR group (all P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PLT, WBC, and elevated serum Sortilin and EMMPRIN were independent risk factors for the occurrence of ISR after CAS surgery (all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC under the ROC curve of serum Sortilin and EMMPRIN alone and in combination for predicting postoperative ISR in CAS were 0.735(95% CI: 0.546-0.918), 0.766(95% CI: 0.615-0.910), and 0.839(95% CI: 0.701-0.984), respectively. The predictive efficacy of the combined application was greater than that of the two indicators alone. Conclusions:Patients with postoperative ISR after CAS have abnormally elevated levels of serum Sortilin and EMMPRIN before surgery, which are independent risk factors for postoperative ISR. The combined detection of serum Sortilin and EMMPRIN has good predictive value for the risk of postoperative ISR in CAS.

Objective:Biobank construction plays an irreplaceable role in the research of accurate prevention and treatment of diseases. Shared biobank network based on a large crowd queue is the way of the future. This subject is one of the key contents of national precision medicine "The Breast Cancer Cohort Study in Chinese Women: (BCCS-CW)" , aiming to solve the bottleneck of insufficient standardization and sharing.Methods:The establishment of "entity library-information library-extension library" , the widely Shared network of biobank of breast cancer specific disease cohort, and the establishment of strict standard setting and quality control standard to construct the standardized biobank.Results:This biobank provides a shared biobank resource for breast cancer risk assessment, prediction and early warning, early screening, classification, individualized treatment, efficacy and safety prediction and monitoring and other accurate prevention and treatment programs and clinical decision-making system research.Conclusion:The data of this biological sample bank is refined and complete, and the sample size of cases is sufficient, which can meet the research needs of medical big data, genomics, metabonomics, epigenetics and other fields.
