Objective To explore the correlation of ABO blood group and serum cystatin C level and decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis.Methods Retrospectively analysed the clinical data of 472 patients with decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis,and compared with 681 healthy control volunteers.All the informations such as gender,age,family history of liver disease,hepatitis B virus infection,hepatic function classification,complications of portal hypertension and the distribution of ABO blood group were observed.Results The highest incidence of decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis was found in A blood group.There was no significant difference in the distribution of ABO blood group for patients with different age (P ＞ 0.05).Significant correlations were observed between AB blood group and family history of hepatitis B patients,expansion of the portal veines ＞ 1.5 cm,esophageal varices,cirrhosis complications,hepatic function classification (P ＜ 0.01).C ystatin C expression was increased with hepatic function classification (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The risk of liver cirrhosis is increased in patients with A blood group.Compare with other blood group,patients with AB blood group has a serious progression.The level of nitrogen,creatinine,cystatin C in decompensated cirrhosis are significantly higher than healthy controls.The level of cystatin C expression is increased with hepatic function classification.Cystatin C may be a potential marker in the classification of hepatic function.

Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1/p62) is a selective autophagy adaptor protein that plays an important role in the clearance of proteins to be degraded as well as in the maintenance of cellular proteostasis. p62 protein has multiple functional domains, which interact with several downstream proteins to precisely regulate multiple signaling pathways, thereby linking p62 to oxidative defense systems, inflammatory responses and nutrient sensing. Studies have shown that mutation or abnormal expression of p62 is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, tumors, infectious diseases, genetic diseases and chronic diseases. This review summarizes the structural features and molecular functions of p62. Moreover, we systematically introduce its multiple functions in protein homeostasis and regulation of signaling pathways. Furthermore, the complexity and versatility of p62 in the occurrence and development of diseases are summarized, with the aim to provide a reference for understanding the function of p62 protein and facilitating related disease research.
