Objective:To investigate the serum hepcidin level and risk factors associated with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and foot ulcer in type 2 diabetic patients.Methods:From January 2019 to June 2019, 70 patients with type 2 diabetes in Department of Endocrinology of Xiangya Third Hospital were selected, including 21 newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes (DM group), 23 patients with lower extremity vascular disease (PAD group) and 26 patients with foot ulcer (DF group). Serum hepcidin was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The serum levels of hepcidin in different groups were compared, and the correlation between diabetic lower extremity vascular disease and foot ulcer was analyzed.Results:⑴ The hemoglobin, albumin, triglycerides and total cholesterol were significantly lower in DF group compared with PAD and DM groups ( P<0.05), while the DF group patients were with higher white blood cell (WBC) count and high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) than patients in PAD and DM groups ( P<0.05). DF group also showed significantly higher WBC, hs-CRP and neutrophil ratio level (NEUT%) than DM group ( P<0.05). The inflammatory indicators of WBC, hs-CRP and NEUT% showed no significant difference between DM group and PAD group ( P>0.05). ⑵ The levels of hepcidin in DF and PAD groups were higher than those in DM group, while that in DF group were higher than those in PAD group ( P<0.05); Hepcidin was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure, WBC count, NEUT% and ferritin ( P<0.05), and negatively correlated with hemoglobin, glycosylated hemoglobin, albumin and 25-hydroxyvitamin D ( P<0.05). ⑶ Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elevated hepcidin level was an independent risk factor for diabetic foot ulcer [ OR=1.755, 95% CI: 1.063-2.897, P=0.028]. Conclusions:The fluctuation of serum hepcidin level in diabetic patients is related to the stimulation of inflammation, the degree of anemia and the nutritional status, which means it might be an early indicator of inflammation in diabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease. Moreover, the increase of hepcidin is an independent risk factor for diabetic foot ulcers in our study.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with eosinophilic granulo-matosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) and improve the understanding of the disease.Methods:EGPA patients who fulfilled the 1990 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria were recruited from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital Sun Yat-sen University between December 2003 and April 2020. Their demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory and auxiliary examinations were analyzed retrospectively. Mann-whitney U test and χ2 test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Among 52 EGPA patients, 34 (65.4%) were males and the median age at disease onset was 47(38-55) years. The median time from disease onset to diagnosis was 30(4-96) months. The most common initial symptoms were respiratory (61.5%) and nose/paranasal sinus (21.2%) involvement. The most common department for the first visit was respiratory medicine (53.8%), followed by rheumatology (11.5%). 44.2% EGPA patients were diagnosed by rheumatologists. The most common clinical manifestations were asthma (88.5%), nose/paranasal sinusitis (84.6%), pulmonary (76.9%) and nervous system (61.5%) in volvement. Eight(15.4%) patients were positive for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). Patients with positive ANCA had lower incidence of asthma, but higher incidence of general symptoms especially arthralgia and renal involvement, elevated eosinophil count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), Birmingham vasculitis activity score and vasculitis damage index than patients with negative ANCA (all P<0.05). 21.2%-34.6% EGPA patients had poor prognostic factors. Conclusion:Early diagnosis of EGPA is important. EGPA patients with positive ANCA may be more severe than patients with negative ANCA. The management should be a multi-disciplinary collaboration between rheumatologists and pulmonologists.

Objective To investigate the effect of anti-Mlllerian hormone (AMH) on hormone secretion and P450 aromatase mRNA expression from cultured human luteinized granulosa cells. Methods Human luteinized granulose cells were derived from 10 patients treated by in vitro fertilization-embryo transplantation (IVF-ET) in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from June to December 2006. Granulose cells were divided into group A, B, C, D, E depending on different concentration of AMH,testosterone group and blank group. 1×10-7moL/L testosterone and 1,5,10,20,50 μg/L AMH were added into the culture medium of group A,B,C,D and E. 1×10-7mol/L testosterone was added into the culture medium of testosterone group while no other ingredient was added into the medium of blank group. Estrogen levels in supernates were measured at 24,48,72 hours after cell incubation. RT-PCR was performed to detect the P450 aromatase mRNA expression in group B, C, D, E and testosterone group at 72 hours after cell incubation. Results (1) Estrogen levels in supernates of granulose cell culture at 24,48,72 hours were (8.529±0.381)×104, (10.977±0.436)×104, (13.309±0.506)×104 pmol/L in group A, (7.027±0.276)×104, (9.167±0.300)×104, (10.794±0.555)×104 pmol/L in group B, (6.039±0.226)×104,(7.585±0.548)×104, (8.797±0.518)×104 pmol/L in group C, (5.118±0.460)×104, (5.716±0.496)×104, (6.205±0.667)×104 pmol/L in group D, (4.932±0.148)×104, (5.323±0.184)×104,(5.629±0.212)×104 pmol/L in group E. When compared with blank group [(0.001±0.001)×104,(0.006±0.003)×104, (0.029±0.011)×104 pmol/L], the statistical differences were observed in group A,B,C,D,E(P<0.01) ; when compared with testosterone group [ (8.418±0.569)×104, (10.841±0.689)×104, (13.301±0.637)×104 pmol/L], the statistical differences were observed in group B,C,D and E(P<0.01) ; statistical differences were also observed in group C, D and E when compared with group B, and also group D and E when compared with group C(P<0.01). No significant difference was observed between group D and E (P>0.05). In group A, B, C, D, E and testosterone group, the estrogen levels at 24 hours after cell culture were significantly lower than those at 48 and 72 hours (P<0.01) ; statistical difference was observed between estrogen levels at 48 and 72 hours(P<0.01). No significant difference was observed among 24,48 and 72 hours in blank group (P>0.05). (2) Relative ratios of intensity of P450 aromatase/β-actin at72 hours of cell culture in group B,C,D and E were 0.6148±0.0046, 0.5156±0.0012, 0.4698±0.0027 and 0.4282±0.0017, respectively, which were statistically lower than that in testosterone group (0.8224±0.0021, P<0.01) ;statistical differences were also observed in group C, D and E when compared with group B, and also group D and E when compared with group C(P<0.01). No significant difference was observed between group D and E (P>0.05). Conclusion It is suggested that AMH might affect estrogen synthesis by inhibiting P450 aromatose activity so that lead to hyperandrogenism microenvironment in local ovary.

Objective To explore the changes on the value of CVP with different body postures after upper abdominal surgery in order to provide accurate basis for better monitoring of central venous pressure(CVP). Methods The CVP, blood pressure,pulse,respiration of 43 patients after upper abdom-inal surgery with indwelling central venous catheter were measured under supine position, 15°dorsal ele-vated position and 30°dorsal elevated position.The data were collected for correlation and regression analysis. Results The CVP value increased with the elevation of body postures,the CVP value under supine position was linearly positively correlated with the other two positions(P<0.01).The regression e-quation of supine position and 15°dorsal elevated position was:Y=1.009X1+0.811; the regression equation of supine position and 30°dorsal elevated position was:Y=1.005X2+1.630. Conclusions Through moni-toring the CVP value under 15°dorsal elevated position and 30°dorsal elevated position,and substitute it in equation,we can evaluate the CVP value under supine position.
