Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2008;31(16):5-7
Objective To evaluatethe clinical value of procalcitonin(PCT)in the diagnosis and assessment of community-acquired pneumonia(CAP).Methods Ninety-six patients with CAP(CAP group)who hospitahzed during the period of November 2005 to August 2006 were admitted.Meanwhile,30 people were taken as control group.The levels of PCT,CRP and WBC were detected on the next day and the 8th day of hospitalization.Results(1)The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was made through setting the threshold value of PCT,CRP and WBC as 1.5 μg/L,10 md/L and 10×109/L respectively in AP group and control group.The RFea undering ROC curve was 0.979.0.831 and 0.736 respectively.(2) The mean value of PCT in the patients of bacterial pneumonia.atypical pathogen pneumonia and viral pneumonia was(9.74±6.20),(7.81±5.70)and(12.20±6.50)μg/L respectively.There were no statistical differences in those patients.(3)There was correlation between PCT and CURB-65 score(r=0.258.P=0.011).The value of serum PCT showed significant differences in the patients with mild pneumonia.moderate pneumonia and severe pneumonia. Conclusions Serum PCT has higher sensitivity and specificity than CRP and WBC in the diagnosis of CAP.There is correlation between PCT and the severity of CAP,so it indicates that PCT has a certain practical value in the iudgement of the condition of CAP.

Objective To analyze the clinical,molecular and genetic features of a Chinese family with WalkerWarburg syndrome(WWS).Methods The clinical data of the proband and his family members were collected.Genomic DNAs from the patient and his parents were extracted with standard procedures from the peripheral blood leukocytes.Polymerase chain reaction and DNA direct sequencing were employed to analyze all of the 20 exons of the POMT1 gene to determine the mutation,and the relationship between genotype and phenotype was analyzed.Results The proband presented with delayed psychomotor development,muscle hypotonia and early joint contractures,his serum creatine kinase was elevated moderately and the brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) displayed brain structural malformations,cerebellar cyst,bilateral dilatation of the lateral ventricle,cerebellum and brainstem dysplasia.Further genetic testing detected a compound heterozygous mutation of c.313C > T,p.Arg105Cys inherited from his father,a frameshift mutation c.2208delG,p.Trp736X inherited from his mother,both of which were known as pathogenic mutations.Conclusions According to the study,the proband carried compound heterozygous mutation of POMT1 gene,and his parents were heterozygous carriers,which is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance.The child is definitely diagnosed as WWS.Genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis are available for this family.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the changes of coagulation indicators in patients with hepatitis B complicated with Clonorchis sinensis (C. Sinensis), and provide reference value for diagnosis, drug using and prognosis monitoring. Methods The patient samples were collected from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from June 2018 to February 2022 and divided into six groups. They were 40 healthy patients, 47 patients with simple chronic hepatitis B, 47 patients with post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis, 40 patients with C. Sinensis mono-infection, 30 patients with chronic hepatitis B patients co-infected with C. Sinensis and 27 patients with post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis patients coinfected with C. Sinensis. Four coagulation indexes, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and fibrinogen (FIB), were detected and compared among the groups. Results Compared with the healthy group, C. Sinensis mono-infection group had higher level of FIB and delayed PT, APTT; chronic hepatitis B group and chronic hepatitis B patients co-infected with C. Sinensis group had delayed PT, APTT, TT and significant lower FIB, these differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Compared with simple chronic hepatitis B group, post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis B patients co-infected with C. Sinensis had significant delayed PT, APTT, TT and lower FIB (all P<0.05). Compared with the post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis B patients co-infected with C. Sinensis, post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis patients coinfected with C. Sinensis group had significant delayed PT, APTT, TT and lower FIB (all P<0.05). Conclusions The coinfection of C. Sinensis will further aggravate the coagulation dysfunction of HBV patients, leading to poor treatment and prognosis. HBV patients will have worse coagulation function in the process to post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis; Therefore, it is important to pay attention to C. Sinensis co-infection when treating HBV patients, so that further guidance on clinical use and monitoring of prognosis can be provided.

Objective To explore the influencing factors and timing of acute cholecystitis laparoscopic surgery.Methods One hundred and sixty acute cholecystitis patients treated with laparoscopic surgery were divided into group A (56 cases,performed treatment within 24 h),group B (42 cases,performed treatment at 24 -48 h),group C ( 40 cases,performed treatment at 49 -72 h),group D (22 cases,performed treatment after 72 h).The operation time,rate of conversion to laparotomy,length of stay and average costs were compared among four groups and analyzed the impact of laparoscopic surgery conversion to laparotomy.Results The rate of conversion to laparotomy of group D [ 59.09%(13/22) ] was significantly higher than that in group A [ 19.64%(11/56) ] (P < 0.01 ).The operation time of group A was the shortest and group D was the longest.The length of stay of group D was significantly longer than other groups (P < 0.05 ).The costs of the four groups had no significant difference(P > 0.05 ).Single factor analysis showed that white blood cell (WBC) count,body temperature,timing of surgery,gallbladder neck calculi incarceration were correlated with conversion to laparotomy(P < 0.05 ).Multifactor analysis showed that WBC count,timing of surgery were independent risk factors of conversion to laparotomy (P < 0.05 ).Conclusions WBC count,body temperature,timing of surgery,gallbladder neck calculi incarceration are correlated with acute cholecystitis laparoscopic surgery conversion to laparotomy.While WBC count and timing of surgery are independent risk factors.The best time of laparoscopic surgery is within 72 h and WBC count < 15 x 109/L.

Health literacy is the key factor that influences the public to understand health information and to make effective decision for their health and nursing. Papers on the association between health literacy and infectious dis-eases were thus retrieved from Medical Literature Database, PubMed and Nursing Database from 1999 to 2016 and the influence of health literacy on infectious diseases was analyzed, which showed that there were papers that repor-ted the knowledge and use of antibiotics, immunization for influenza and measles, sexual behavior-transmitted dis-ease and virus hepatitis with tuberculosis, malaria, hand sanitization and infectious diarrhea seldom involved, and that health literacy was associated with preventive measures.
