Objective To study the association of carotid atherosclerosis with high-sensitivity creative protein(hs-CRP),lipoprotein-a(Lp-a) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF).Methods Seventy-one CRF patients were divided into Group A of 45 patients under maintenance hemodialysis and Group B of 26 patients without hemodialysis,and 20 healthy donor was Group C in this study.And 71 CRF patients were divided into carotid atherosclerosis group (43 cases) and non carotid atherpsclerosis group(28 cases) according to whether the carotid atherosclerosis plaque was detected out.Fortythree CRF patients presented carotid atherosclerosis including 17 patients with soft plaque,10 patients with hard plaque and the other 16 with mixed plaque.Color ultra-sound was used to measure the carotid intimal medial thickness(IMT) and define the type of plaque.Levels of hs-CRP,Lp (a) and SOD were detected and analyzed in this study.Results (1) Levels of hs-CRP,Lp-a,SOD and IMT were significantly different in group A ((7.39±2.25) ag/L,(428.43±102.25) mmol/L,(71.35±21.52) KU/L and (1.23±0.31) mm,respectively),group B((7.41±1.67) mg/L,(432.12±96.43) mmol/L,(68.14±15.25) KU/L and (1.18±0.26) mm,respectively),and group C ((2.11 ± 0.86) mg/L,(193.32 ± 62.31) mmol/L,(94.23 ± 21.13)KU/L and (0.61 ±0.22) mm,respectively),the differences were significant (F =2.998,2.783,2.032,2.802;P＜0.05).Plaque incidence was increased in group A(68.9％) and group B(69.2％) compared with group C (12.5％) with statistical significance (x2=17.863,17.989;P＜0.001).(2) Furthermore,for CRF patients,hsCRP and Lp-a were positively related to IMT in group A (r =O.436,0.279;P＜0.05) and group B (r =0.652,0322;P ＜ 0.05),SOD presenting negative relationship with IMT (r =-0.283,P ＜ 0.01 for group A,and r =-0.164,P＜0.05 for group B).(3) Level of hs-CRP and Lp-a in carotid atherosclerosis group were higher than those in non carotid atherosclerosis group((7.58±2.47) mg/L vs.(3.41±1.26) mg/L,(437.31±115.38) mmol/L vs.(256.24± 101.22) mmol/L),the differences were significant (t =2.917,2.583;P ＜0.05).Level of SOD in carotid atherosclerosis group was lower than that in non carotid atherosclerosis group ((68.43±13.36) KU/L vs.(76.22±17.12) KU/L),the difference was signifiant(t=2.156,P＜0.05).(4)Level of hs-CRP and SOD in patients with soft plaque and mixed plaque were statistically different from those in patients with hard plaque(F=4.210,2.056;P＜0.05).Conclusion The micro-inflammatory status,oxidative stress and disturbance of Lp-a metabolism are extensively existed in CRF patients and closely connect to each other.Therefore,they might correlate with the formation of plaques in carotidartery.

Objective To study the clinical significances of serum lipoprotein (LP),high sensitivity C- reactive protein (hs CRP),cystatin (Cys-C),apolipoprotein (Apo) in type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) patients with early renal impairment.Methods Totally 96 patients were divided into two groups:50 cases in simple diabetic group (DM) aged 60-73 years,46 cases in diabetic nephropathy group (DN) aged 61-72 years,and 50 healthy persons as normal control group aged 61-68 years.Serum levels of LP(a),hs-CRP,Cys-C,ApoA1 and ApoB were detected.Results Serum levels of LP (a) [(214.8±182.3) mg/L vs.(113.1±76.2) mg/L],Cys-C[(0.95±0.16)mg/L vs.(0.46±0.17) mg/L],hs-CRP (2.57± 1.84) mg/L vs.(1.07±0.38)mg/L] and ApoB [(1.12±0.18) g/L vs.(0.81 ±0.15) g/L ]were higher in T2DM patients than in normal control group(all P＜0.01),while ApoA1 level was lower than in control[(1.02±0.17)g/L vs.(1.27±0.14)g/L,P＜ 0.01].The levels of LP (a) (455.6 ± 263.5 ) mg/L,Cys-C (2.14 ± 0.68 ) mg/L,hs-CRP (7.24±4.55)mg/L and ApoB(1.22±0.17)g/L in DN group were increased compared with DM group (all P＜0.01).Serum levels of ApoA1 were decreased in DN group compared with DM group [(0.88±0.17) g/L vs.(1.02±0.17) g/L,P＜0.01].The serum levels of LP (a) (r=0.487,P＜0.05),Cys-C(r=0.55,P＜0.05),hs-CRP(r=0.478,P＜0.01) and ApoB(r=0.505,P＜0.05) were positively correlated with urinary mAlb in T2DM patients,while ApoA1 was negtively related with mAIb(r=-0.52,P＜0.05).Conclusions The serum LP (a),Cys C,Apo and hsCRP could be sensitive markers of early renal impairment,and their combinatorial measurement offers more value in patients with T2DM.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of carotid artery ultrasonography,CT angiography (CTA)and digital subtraction angiography (DSA)for carotid artery dissection. Methods The image data of carotid artery ultrasonography,CTA,and DSA of 24 patients with carotid artery dissection were analyzed retrospectively. Results Twenty-four,16,and 21 patients were examined with DSA,CTA,and carotid artery ultrasonography respectively. The detection rates of carotid artery dissection with DSA,CTA, and carotid artery ultrasonography were 95. 8%,75.0%,and 71. 4% respectively. The DSA mostly showed the line-like sign (n=12,50 %). CTA and carotid artery ultrasonography mostly showed the double lumen sign;they were 37. 5%(n=6)and 52. 4%(n=11)respectively. Compared with DSA,the concordance rates of carotid artery ultrasonography and CTA were 66. 7% and 81. 3% respectively. There was no significant difference (Kappa=0. 39,P=0. 08 and Kappa=0. 43,P =0. 22 respectively). The concordance rate of ultrasonography in combination with CTA and DSA reached 87. 5%(n=15,Kappa=0. 67,P =0.047). There was significant difference. Conclusion DSA is a gold standard for the diagnosis of carotid artery dissection,and it is irreplaceable. Carotid artery ultrasonography in combination with CTA can improve the diagnostic rate. Carotid artery ultrasonography can be used as a screening method for carotid artery dissection.
