1.Alteration and clinical significance of cfDNA and CRP in children patients with hand -foot -and -muoth disease
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2015;(13):2040-2042
Objective To explore the clinical significance of changes of serum cfDNA and CRP in patients with hand -foot -and -muoth disease.Methods Serum levels of cfDNA,CPP were measured with fluorescent quan-titation PCR and immunoturbidime,respectively in 108 cases of children patients with hand -foot -and -muoth and 108 healthy subjects children as control group.Results Serum cfDNA and CPP levels with hand -foot -and -muoth group(523.45 ±42.31)mg/L,(22.57 ±5.52)mg/L were significantly higher than those of control group detection results(260.18 ±20.56)mg/L,(2.88 ±0.82)mg/L(t =58.16,36.85,all P <0.05).And we observed the serum cfDNA and CPP levels in different severity extent of pneumonia,the results show that the serum increased gradually with the increase of the severity(t =29.80,13.68,all P <0.05).and the serum level of cfDNA was positive correla-tion with CRP(r =0.730,P <0.01 ).Conclusion The serum.cfDNA and CRP reflect situation of patients and extent of hand -foot -and -muoth disease,which have a close relationship between the clinical process of hand -foot-and -muoth disease and have significance value to evaluate the pathogenetic condition and prognosis.

Objective To assess the efficacy,safety,and tolerability of Topiramate(TPM) and Sodium Valproate(SV) as prophylactic therapy for migraine.Methods Prospectively,total of 146 patients with episodic migraine were randomly divided into two groups:TPM group(74 cases) and SV group(72 cases).TPM was titrated by 25 mg per week for 2~4 weeks and the highest dose was 100 mg/d.SV was given at 200 mg twice daily during initial titration of therapy and the highest dose was 600 mg/d.The therapies lasted for 13 weeks,meanwhile the migrain frequency,days and the severity of headache were recorded in headache diaries.The severity of headache was rated on a 0~10 rating scale.Results Mean frequency of headache attack decreased from 7.01 to 1.89 times per month(P

Objective To investigate the reasons for the inconsistent results between the vertical auto profile(VAP)method and bio-chemical homogeneous phase(BHP)method in detecting plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and provide experimen-tal basis for the accurate and quantitative detection of plasma LDL-C levels.Methods A total of 360 plasma samples from diabetes mellitus patients combined with carotid plaque admitted to the Department of Endocrinology of Ningbo Yinzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine during January,2022 and January,2023 were collected.The LDL-C levels of these samples were detected by the VAP method and BHP method,respectively.The VAP method uses software to automatically calculate the area under the LDL-C curve after centrifugation of the sample as the LDL-C level(LDL-CVAP)and the BHP method directly detects the LDL-C level(LDL-CBHP)by the special surfactant method.360 samples were divided into the consistent group(group A)and inconsistent group(group B)ac-cording to the relative deviation between the LDL-CBHP and LDL-CVAP methods.Group B was further divided into the LDL-CBHP on the high side group(Group B1)and LDL-CBHP on the low side group(Group B2).Groups B1 and B2 were divided into B1-1,B1-2,B1-3 and B2-1 groups based on the degree of relative deviation.The percentages of samples and levels of lipoprotein a cholesterol[Lp(a)-C],intermediate-density lipoprotein cholesterol(IDL-C),Lp(a)-C and IDL-C[Lp(a)-C+IDL-C],very low-density lipo-protein cholesterol(VLDL-C),total cholesterol(TC)and total triglyceride(TG)in each group were compared.Results The LDL-CBHP levels of 360 samples were significantly higher than that of LDL-CVAP(P<0.01).The percentage of samples in group B was significantly higher than that in group A,and that of group B1 was significantly higher than that of group B2(P<0.05).The levels of Lp(a)-C,IDL-C and Lp(a)-C+IDL-C in groups B1-1,B1-2,and B1-3 were significantly higher than those in group A(P<0.01).The relative deviation between LDL-CBHP and LDL-CVAP in 360 samples was significantly positively correlated with the levels of Lp(a)-C,IDL-C,and Lp(a)-C+IDL-C(P<0.01).The maximum correlation coefficient was found in Lp(a)-C+IDL-C.Conclusion The results of plasma LDL-C in diabetes mellitus patients combined with carotid plaque detected by the BHP method are significantly different from those detected by the VAP method,which mainly shows that the results of the BHP method are on the high side.The higher the level of plasma Lp(a)-C+IDL-C,the greater the relative deviation between the BHP method and VAP method.The reason for the high results of LDL-C detected by the BHP method may be related to the fact that LDL-CBHP contains irremovable Lp(a)-C and cholesterol carried by IDL-C.The VAP method can be used as an accurate method for detecting real LDL-C without Lp(a)-C and IDL-C.
