Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin (anti-MCV) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies for ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and to establish a new diagnostic method of AS based on anti-citrullinated protein/peptide antibodies (ACPAs) detection.Methods Totally 121 AS patients(AS group), 97 rheumatoid arthritis(RA) patients (RA group)and 103 healthy people(control group) were enrolled for the detection of serum levels of anti-MCV and anti-CCP antibodies using ELISA method as a diagnostic test .HLA-B27 in AS patients was tested by flow cytometry , and RF-IgM in RA and AS patients was detected by immune rate nephelometry .Receiver operating characteristics ( ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value and to determine the cut-off value.Anti-MCV and anti-CCP antibodies among each group were compared by Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test was used to compare positive rate .Results The anti-MCV levels in AS group [11.60 ( 12.36-25.83 ) U/ml ] were significantly higher than control group [ 11.60 ( 8.41 -13.54)U/ml ],U=2 413,P <0.001, while the levels of anti-CCP had no difference between the two groups [AS group 6.22 (4.30 -8.07) U/ml], and control group [6.01 (3.77 -7.58) U/ml], respectively;U=5 421,P=0.094.The calculated area under the ROC curve of anti-MCV was 0.806,and 14.67 U/ml was the optimal cut-off value with sensitivity of 0.645 and specificity of 0.942.In both HLA-B27 positive and negative AS patients , anti-MCV antibodies levels and positive rate were significantly higher than control group using new cut-off value above (U =133.5, P =0.001; U =2 279.5,P <0.001). Sensitivity of the combination detection of anti-MCV and anti-CCP ( MCV+CCP-) or RF-IgM ( MCV+RF-) were 60.3%(73/121), 62.8% (76/121) and specificity were 89.7% (87/97), 90.7% (88/97) respectively in differential diagnosis of AS and RA , which were significantly higher than anti-MCV detection alone in specificity (16.5%,16/97).Conclusions Anti-MCV could be a new biomarker for the diagnosis of AS .With high sensitivity and specificity , anti-MCV has an equal diagnostic efficiency in HLA-B27 positive and negative AS patients using our new cut-off value.Additionally, the combination detection of anti-MCV and anti-CCP or RF-IgM could be an effective method for differential diagnosis of AS and RA .

Objective To evaluate the incidence and mortality of acute kidney injury (AKI) in coronary care unit (CCU),and to identify the risk factors of the incidence of AKI and the mortality of CCU patients.Methods A total of 414 patients in CCU from January 1,2014 to June 1,2015 at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University were enrolled.Based on the KDIGO-AKI criteria,these patients were classified into two groups:NAKI group (patients without AKI) and AKI group.Clinical characteristics and laboratory data of two groups were compared.The risk factors of the incidence of AKI and the mortality of CCU patients was analyzed by logistic regression,and then the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of these risk factors.Results (1) Among 414 patients,136(32.9％) patients fulfilled the criteria for AKI,and 14.0％ patients in AKI stage 1,10.9％ in AKI stage 2 and 8.0％ in AKI stage 3.(2) The total CCU mortality was 15.0％.Mortality of AKI patients in the CCU was 33.3％,higher than 6.1％ in patients without AKI (OR=7.735,95％CI 4.215-14.196,P ＜ 0.001).The mortality worsened with increasing severity of AKI (22.4％ for AKI stage 1 group,37.8％ for AKI stage 2 group,45.4％ for AKI stage 3 group).(3) Anemia (OR=8.274,95％ CI 4.363-15.689),history of chronic illness (OR=2.582,95％ CI 1.400-4.760),APACHE]Ⅱ seores (OR=1.813,95％CI 1.739-1.895),male (OR=3.666,95％CI 1.860-7.226) were the independent risk factors for AKI,while the normal mean arterial pressure (MAP) (OR=0.292,95％CI 0.153-0.556) and normal estimated glonerular filtration rate (eGFR) (OR=0.166,95％CI 0.090-0.306) are the protective factors for AKI (all P ＜ 0.05).(4) AKI was the most powerful independent factor associated with the mortality of CCU patients (OR=7.050,95％ CI 2.970-16.735,P ＜ 0.001).Other independent risk factors for CCU mortality included history of chronic illness,ejection fraction and APACHE Ⅱ ≥ 15 scores (all P ＜ 0.05),while the normal MAP and normal eGFR were the protective factors (all P ＜ 0.05).(5) For predicting AKI,eGFR displayed an excellent areas under the ROC curve (AUC=0.815,P ＜ 0.001),and for CCU mortality,APACHE Ⅱ scores had the highest overall correctness of prediction (AUC=0.757 P ＜ 0.001).Conclusions CCU patients have high morbidity of AKI,which is the most powerful independent factor associated with the increased CCU mortality.The eGFR is the best predictor for AKI,and then through the evaluation of eGFR for CCU patients,we can evaluate high-risk groups,make early interventions and then improve the prognosis of CCU patients.

AIM: To investigate the effects of simvastation on homocysteine-induced endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory response and the underlying mechanisms of such effects. METHODS: MTT assay was used to detect cell viability, and DCFH-DA assay was used to examine the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, Western blotting was performed to detect protein expression and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was used to detect NF-?B DNA binding activity. RESULTS: Homocysteine (0.1-1 mmol/L) decreased the human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) viability and increased the levels of ROS. Western blotting and ELISA showed that homocysteine significantly increased the expression of TNF-?, IL-6, MCP-1 and ICAM-1. However, pretreatment with simvastation (1-20 ?mol/L) reversed the decreased cell viability and markedly suppressed an increase in the ROS level and the expression of TNF-?, IL-6, MCP-1 and ICAM-1 induced by homocysteine. Homocysteine induced p38 phosphorylation and such phosphorylation was also inhibited by simvastation and antioxidant NAC. EMSA and Western blotting showed that homocysteine induced NF-?B activation due to the increased phosphorylation of the inhibitory protein (I?B?) as well as the degradation of I?B?, while simvastation pretreatment almost completely blocked the NF-?B activation as well as the phosphorylation and degradation of I?B?. CONCLUSION: Simvastation inhibits homocysteine-induced endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory response through interfering with ROS-p38-NF-?B pathway.

Objective To discuss the importance of balloon occlusion test before interventional treatment of the intracranial giant intemal carotid artery aneurysms and to sum up the nursing experience in assisting the procedure. Methods Proper perioperative nursing measures were carried out for 12 patients, who suffered from intracranial giant internal carotid artery aneurysm and underwent spring coil occlusion treatment. Nursing measures included mental care, observation of the vital signs, prevention of the complications, etc. Results Neither death nor exacerbation of the condition occurred in all the 12 patients. The patients were discharged from the hospital with a mean hospitalization of nine days. During a follow-up period ranged from 4 months to one year, seven patients had no disagreeable feeling, one patient complained of discomfort but no abnormality was found on follow-up DSA, and disappearance of the aneurysm was observed in 4 patients. Conclusion The monitoring of the vital signs, the prevention of the complications and the standard nursing care are the key points for ensuring a successful operation in treating intracranial giant intemal carotid artery aneurysms with spring coil occlusion.

Objective To study the practicability of measurement of abdominal wall tension (AWT) for noninvasive monitoring of intra-abdominal pressure in ICU patients.Methods Patients with indwelling urethral catheter admitted to ICU from April 2011 to March 2013 were enrolled for a prospective study.Exclusion criteria were patients with muscular relaxants,abdominal operation in three months,acute peritonitis,abdominal mass,acute injury of urinary bladder,acute cystitis,neurogenic bladder,intrapelvis hematoma,and pelvic fracture.The AWT (N/mm) and urinary bladder pressure (UBP) (mm Hg) of all patients were measured.Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 13.0 statistical software.The correlation of AWT and UBP were analyzed using linear regression analysis.The effects of respiration and body position on AWT were analyzed using the Paired-samples t test,and the effects of gender and body mass index (BMI) on basic level of AWT (IAP ＜ 12 mm Hg) were analyzed using the One-way ANOVA.Results A total of 51 patients were recruited in study.A significantly linear correlation between AWT and UBP were observed (R =0.986,P ＜ 0.01),the regression equation was Y =1.369 + 9.57X (P ＜ 0.01).Under the supine-flat positioning,the intra-abdominal pressures at the end of inspiration and the end of expiration were (1.65 ± 0.52) N/mm and (1.45 ± 0.54) N/mm,respectively,and under body straight up 30° supine positioning,the intra-abdominal pressures at the end of inspiration and the end of expiration were (1.25 ± 0.30) N/mm and (1.07 ± 0.35) N/mm,respectively.There were significant differences in intra-abdominal pressure between different respiratory phases and body positions (P ＜ 0.01).Basic levels of AWT in male and female were (1.09 ± 0.29) N/mm and (1.01 ± 0.34) N/mm.The basic levels of AWT in patients with BMI ＜ 18.5,18.5 ≤ BMI ≤25 and BMI ＞ 25 were (0.91 ± 0.30) N/mm,(1.02 ±0.35) N/mm and (1.16 ±0.28) N/mm respectively,but gender and BMI had no significant effects on basic level of AWT (P =0.457 and 0.313,respectively).Conclusions There was a significantly linear correlation between AWT and UBP,and respiratory phase and body position had significant effects on AWT,but gender and BMI had no significant impacts on basic level of AWT.AWT could be served as a simple,easy,and accurate method to monitor the IAP in critical ill patients.
