Objective:To investigate the clinical value of dynamic detection of lymphocyte subsets and blood cell counts in management of patients with lupus nephritis (LN).Methods:The clinical data of 65 patients with primary LN admitted in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2015 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the stage of disease progression and medications used,LN patients were classified into primary active phase,post-induction therapy phase,and maintenance therapy phase. The changes in lymphocyte subsets were monitored,and the relationship of lymphocyte subsets and blood cell count ratios with lupus activity and infection events was evaluated.Results:The decrease of CD4 +T lymphocyte and NK cell counts were negatively correlated with the activity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)( r=-0.67,-0.33, P<0.01),while CD8 +T lymphocyte,B cell counts,neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR),platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR),and monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR) were positively correlated with the SLE activity( r=0.38,0.26,0.34,0.26,0.29, P<0.05). The area under ROC curve (AUC) of CD4 +T lymphocyte count in predicting the occurrence of infection in LN patients was the highest (0.89); taking 247.50 cell/μl as cutoff value,the sensitivity and specificity were 81.25% and 87.50%,respectively. The combination of CD4 +T lymphocyte with CRP increased the predicting value for the occurrence of infection. Conclusion:Dynamic detection of blood lymphocyte subsets and blood cell counts can reflect SLE activity and the occurrence of infection in LN patients. Among these indicators the CD4 +T lymphocyte has the highest predictive value for the occurrence of infection,and the combination of the CD4 +T lymphocyte count with CRP level can further improve the predicting value.

Objective:To observe the relationship between the response to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drug treatment and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From August 2019 to September 2020, 103 eyes of 103 wAMD patients diagnosed in Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital were included in the study. Among them, there were 59 males (57.28%, 59/103) and 44 females (42.72%, 44/103); the average age was 68.74±7.74 years. The standard logarithmic visual acuity chart was used to detect the Best Corrected Visual Acuity of the affected eye and converted to the logarithmic minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity during statistics. Optical coherence tomography was used to detect the central retinal thickness (CRT) of the affected eye. At the same time, the patient's high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was tested. All eyes were treated with intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs once a month for 3 months. Before the initial treatment, peripheral venous blood from the patient were collected. Interleukin-8 ( IL-8), complement C3 gene ( C3), complement factor H ( CFH), liver lipase ( LIPC), cholesterol ester transfer protein ( CETP), ATP binding cassette subfamily a member 1 ( ABCA1), lipoprotein lipase ( LPL), fatty acid desaturation gene cluster ( FADS1) SNP. According to gene frequency, genotypes are divided into wild type and mutant type were detected. Qualitative data such as the frequency difference of the genotype distribution in the clinical phenotype and the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium of the genotype distribution were compared with the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Results:There were fewer CRT responders in IL-8 rs4073 mutant (TA+AA) patients than wild-type (TT) [odds ratio ( OR)=0.310, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.106-0.910, P<0.05). Among them, after the drug stratification test, the proportion of patients with IL-8 rs4073 locus TT genotype in the conbercept treatment group was less CRT non-responders ( OR=0.179, 95% CI=0.034-0.960, P=0.033). Patients with LIPC rs2043085 mutant (CT+TT) with BCVA increased ≥0.2 logMAR are more likely than wild-type (CC) ( OR=3.031, 95% CI 1.036-8.867, P<0.05); HDL-C level was significantly lower Compared with wild type (CC), the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.448, P=0.016). There was no significant difference in logMAR BCVA and CRT between IL-8 rs4073, LIPC rs2043085 mutant and wild-type patients before treatment ( IL-8 rs4073: Z=-0.198, -1.651; P=0.843, 0.099; LIPC rs2043085: Z=-0.532, -0.152; P=0.595, 0.879). C3 rs 225066, CFH rs800292, CETP rs708272, ABCA1 rs1883025, FADS1 rs174547, LPL rs12678919 have no correlation with anti-VEGF drug treatment response. Conclusions:Patients with wAMD are treated with anti-VEGF drugs. Those with IL-8 rs4073 locus A genotype may be less responsive to CRT. LIPC rs2043085 locus T genotypes may be relatively more responsive to BCVA.

Objective To observe the difference of macular microvascular features in superficial and deep vascular plexi in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).Methods A total of 63 BRVO patients (63 eyes) were enrolled in this study. There were 28 males (28 eyes) and 35 females (35 eyes). The patients aged from 39 to 74 years, with the mean age of (59.76±8.48) years. All eyes were evaluated by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). The macular angiography scan protocol covered a 3 mm×3 mm area. The focus of angiography analysis included superficial vascular plexus and deep vascular plexus. The following vascular morphological parameters were assessed in these two plexi: foveal avascular zone (FAZ) enlargement, capillary non-perfusion (CNP) occurrence, microvascular abnormalities (MA) appearance, and vascular congestion (VC) signs. The FAZ area was measured by the built-in software. The macular microvascular morphology changes in superficial and deep vascular plexi were compared through McNemar test. Results The superficial and deep plexi showed FAZ enlargement in 43 eyes (68.3%) and 50 eyes (79.4%), CNP in 51 eyes (81%) and 50 eyes (79.4%), MA in 62 eyes (98.4%) and 62 eyes (98.4%), VC in 23 eyes (36.5%) and 52 eyes (82.5%), respectively. FAZ area was (0.55±0.37) mm2. There was no difference in CNP (P=1.000) and MA (P=1.000) between superficial and deep plexi. But, there was difference in FAZ enlargement (P=0.039) and VC signs (P<0.001) between superficial and deep plexi.Conclusion Deep vascular plexus showed more FAZ enlargement and VC sign than superficial plexus in BRVO patients.
