Objective·To analyze and explore the influencing factors that lead to cognitive deterioration in individuals with elevated fasting blood glucose(FBG)and the metabolic clues associated with changes in the risk of cognitive deterioration.Methods·Data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative(ADNI)database were downloaded,and the samples with FBG and follow-up data were selected from the database.Clinical information,including age,gender,body mass index,education years,apolipoprotein E4(APOE4)genotype and race,and corresponding metabolic indicator data,including amino acids,fatty acids,proteins and others were obtained.Based on the FBG levels and diagnosis of cognitive impairment stages in Alzheimer's disease,the subjects were categorized into four groups:normal FBG without/with cognitive deterioration,and elevated FBG without/with cognitive deterioration.The univariate analysis method,the Cox proportional hazards model,orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis(OPLSDA),and Spearman correlation analysis were employed for data analysis.Results·A total of 1 317 subjects were included,among which 1 153 had normal FBG level(>3.9 mmol/L and<6.1 mmol/L)and 164 had elevated FBG level(≥6.1 mmol/L).In the normal FBG group,275 subjects showed cognitive deterioration,while in the elevated FBG group,53 subjects showed cognitive deterioration.Univariate analysis revealed significant differences in gender and race between the normal FBG and elevated FBG group,and significant differences in age,gender,and APOE4 genotype between the groups with and without cognitive deterioration(all P<0.05).Cox regression analysis indicated that primary influencing factors for cognitive deterioration were APOE4 positivity,elevated FBG,and increasing age in order(HR=2.22,HR=1.38,HR=1.02;all P<0.05).In the analysis of baseline metabolic indicators in the groups without and with cognitive deterioration,as well as metabolic indicators before and after cognitive deterioration at different FBG levels,the results of the analysis of variance revealed that in the cognitively deteriorated population,the ratio of phospholipids carried by high-density lipoproteins(HDL)to total lipids was significantly higher;low-density lipoprotein(LDL)particle concentration and the lipids carried by LDL were significantly higher after cognitive deterioration.Correlation analysis showed that valine and leucine were significantly correlated not only with FBG level but also with phosphorylated tau(pTau)level in the plasma in the cognitively deteriorated population.Cholesterol and the ratio of phospholipids to total lipids carried by HDL were significantly correlated with pTau levels in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF).Conclusion·Compared to the individuals with normal FBG level,those with high FBG level have a significantly higher risk of cognitive deterioration.Additionally,different metabolic indicators show significant differences between the groups without and with cognitive deterioration,as well as metabolic indicators before and after cognitive deterioration at different FBG levels.Overall,LDL and its lipid content,and HDL-carried phospholipids show an increasing trend during cognitive deterioration,and the branched-chain amino acids valine and leucine are significantly correlated with pTau levels in CSF and plasma,suggesting that these metabolic markers may play an important role in cognitive deterioration.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the clinical characteristics, early diagnosis, comprehensive treatment and prognosis of 6 cases of children with post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) after liver transplantation.
METHODData of 6 cases with PTLD seen between January 2011 and December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The anti-rejection drug dose adjustments, the effect of rituximab, antiviral therapy and comprehensive treatment program after surgery were explored.
RESULT(1) The diagnosis of PTLD was confirmed by histologic findings. Six cases of PTLD including 3 males and 3 females were diagnosed as congenital biliary atresia and underwent split liver transplantation. The occurrence rate of PTLD was 2.9%. (2) The median time to the development of PTLD was less than 6 months. The initial symptom of PTLD in all patients was fever and clinical manifestations of PTLD were non-specific, depending on the involving organs. Five cases of PTLD developed gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhea, abdominal pain, and abdominal distension. One case developed respiratory symptoms, including cough and tachypnea. Three cases had lymph node involvement. In 2 cases pathophysiology involved polymorphic lymphocyte proliferation and in 4 cases B lymphocyte proliferation. (3) Two cases died, in whom EBV DNA was not detected and were diagnosed as PTLD by surgical pathology before death. Four survived cases had high EBV-DNA load and then were diagnosed as PTLD by biopsy pathology. (4) Of the 6 cases of PTLD, 2 cases died and 4 cases survived. The overall mortality was 33%. The dead cases were only treated with laparotomy because of intestinal obstruction or perforation and the survived cases were treated with tacrolimus at reduced doses or discontinuation and rituximab. In 2 cases antiviral therapy (acyclovir) was continued, including 1 cases of intestinal obstruction treated with surgical repair. All the survived patients were followed up for 4 months to 1 year and no evidence has been found.
CONCLUSIONEBV infection is the high risk factor for PTLD after liver transplantation. Close clinical surveillance of EBV DNA for pediatric liver transplantation was important for the early diagnosis of PTLD. Reducing doses of immunosuppressive agents and rituximab is the initial therapy for PTLD. A reduction in the dose of tacrolimus is suggested. Operation therapy can also play a role in the management of local complications.

Objective: To compare the clinical characteristics and plasma level of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) between the patients with hypertensive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in elder age (HHCME) and the patients with hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (HTN-LVH).
Methods: Our work included 2 groups, HHCME group,n=47 and HTN-LVH group,n=44. Duplex Doppler echocardiography was performed to determine left atrial diameter (LAd), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd), interventricular septal thickness (IVST), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), velocity of early diastolic period (VE) and velocity of end-diastolic period (VA) in mitral valve oriifce. Plasma level of NT-proBNP was measured by ELISA. The above indexes were compared between 2 groups.
Results:①Compared with HTN-LVH group, HHCME group presented decreased LVEDd and increased IVST, LVEF, allP<0.001. There were no signiifcant differences in VE/VA ratio and LAd between 2 groups, allP>0.05.②Plasma level of NT-proBNP was higher in HHCME group,P<0.01. With the adjusted age, gender, history of hypertension, LAd, IVST, left ventricular systolic and diastolic function, the level of NT-proBNP in HHCME group (1317.19 fmol/ml) was still signiifcantly higher than that in HTN-LVH group (526.19fmol/ml),P<0.01.
Conclusion: The plasma NT-proBNP level was higher in HHCME patients than that in HTN-LVH patients which indicated that HHCME patients may have worse prognosis. NT-proBNP might be helpful for differencing HHCME.
