ObjectiveTo investigate the association between albumin (Alb) and recompensation by comparing recompensation rate between hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis patients with different Alb levels, and to provide guidance for the identification and management of high-risk patients in clinical practice. MethodsRelated clinical data were collected from 734 patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis who attended The Third People’s Hospital of Kunming from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2022, and they were divided into three groups based on the level of Alb. The linear regression analysis and chi-square test were used for trend tests. The Kaplan-Meier curve was plotted for the cumulative incidence rate of recompensation in the three groups, and the log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. A Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis was used to investigate the association between Alb and recompensation in patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis. ResultsAmong the 734 patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis, 270 achieved recompensation, with a recompensation rate of 36.8%. All patients had a median Alb level of 29.90 (25.90 — 34.80) g/L on admission, and according to the level of Alb, they were divided into <25.9 g/L group with 177 patients, 25.9 — 34.8 g/L group with 377 patients, and >34.8 g/L group with 180 patients; 36 patients (20.3%) in the <25.9 g/L group, 138 (36.6%) in the 25.9 — 34.8 g/L group, and 96 (53.3%) in the >34.8 g/L group achieved recompensation, and the recompensation rate increased with the increase in Alb level (χ2=41.730, P<0.001). After adjustment for all confounding factors, compared with the <25.9 g/L group, there was a significant increase in the incidence rate of recompensation in the 25.9 — 34.8 g/L group (hazard ratio [HR]=1.842, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.274 — 2.663) and the >34.8 g/L group (HR=2.336, 95% CI: 1.575 — 3.463). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the cumulative incidence rate of recompensation between the three groups (χ2=41.632, P<0.001). ConclusionAlb level is an influencing factor for recompensation in patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis, and the recompensation rate increases with the increase in Alb level.

Objective To investigate the metabolomics characteristic of neuromyelities optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.Methods Ultra high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) was used to identify plasma metabolites in 16 patients with NMOSD and 8 healthy controls.At the same time,the identification of metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid of 8 NMOSD patients and 5 healthy controls was completed.Differential metabolites screening and metabolomic pathway analysis were performed by diversified data analysis methods.Results Compared with healthy control group,the content of 8 substances such as Cis.8.11.14.Eicosatrienoic acid in the plasma of NMOSD patients was increased.The content of 8 substances such as L-glutamine acid were decreased.There was no significant difference in the metabolites between Aquaporin 4 (AQP-4) antibody positive and negative NMOSD plasma.The content of 6 substances such as 3-hydroxybutyric acid in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with NMOSD was reduced.Conclusions The distribution of metabolites in plasma between NMOSD patients and healthy controls was significantly different.There was no significant difference in metabolites between AQP-4 antibody positive and negative NMOSD plasma.There are some differences in metabolites between cerebrospinal fluid of NMOSD patients and healthy controls.A variety of amino acid abnormalities,sphingomyelin dysfunction,energy metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction were involved in the pathogenesis of NMOSD.
