Objective To investigate the correlation between serum homocysteine(Hcy),hemoglobin(HGB)and hematocrit(HCT)levels and the severity of condition and inflammatory factor levels in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis.Methods A total of 122 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis admitted to a hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected as the disease group,and the disease group was di-vided into mild group(n=63)and severe group(n=59)according to pathological grades,and 106 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examination in a hospital during the same period were selected as the con-trol group.Clinical data of patients were collected and binary Logistic regression analysis was performed to an-alyze the factors affecting the severity of patients'condition,and Pearson correlation analysis was used to ana-lyze the correlation between Hcy,HGB,HCT and the levels of inflammatory factors.Receiver operating char-acteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to analyze the diagnostic value of Hcy,HGB and HCT on the severity of patients'condition.Results Compared with the control group,the serum Hcy level in the diseased group was increased,the serum HGB and HCT levels were decreased,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the mild group,the serum Hcy level in the severe group was increased,the HGB and HCT levels were decreased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with mild group,the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin(IL)-6 in se-vere group were increased,and the levels of IL-10 were decreased,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Bi-nary Logistic regression analysis showed that Hcy and CRP were the risk factors affecting the severity of pa-tients'condition(P<0.05),and HCT,HGB and IL-10 were the protective factors affecting the severity of pa-tients'condition(P<0.05).Hcy was positively correlated with CRP,TNF-α and IL-6,and negatively correla-ted with IL-10(P<0.05).HGB and HCT were negatively correlated with CRP,TNF-α and IL-6,and posi-tively correlated with IL-10(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of serum Hcy,HGB,HCT and the combined diagnosis of the severity of patients'condition were 0.834,0.814,0.822 and 0.923,respectively,and the combined diagnosis value of the three was significantly better than that of Hcy(Z=2.519,P=0.012),HGB(Z=2.660,P=0.008)and HCT(Z=2.596,P=0.009)alone.Conclusion The increase of serum Hcy and the decrease of serum HGB and HCT in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis are correlated with the severity of the patient's condition and the level of inflammatory factors.The combined de-tection of the three can be used for the diagnosis of the severity of chronic atrophic gastritis.

OBJECTIVE: We investigated the influence of obstructive sleep apnea -hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) on hypertension and metabolism. METHOD: There were two groups in this research; they were the research group including 115 patients who were diagnosed with polysomnography and the control group of 122 healthy persons. The blood pressure in the morning, plasmas glucose (GLU), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and uric acid (UA) were measured. There were 32 moderate or severe OSAHS patients and 20 healthy persons were selected to be measured the mitochondrial coupling factor 6 (CF6) with radio-immunity method. The results were analyzed with statistic method. The P < 0.05 means the significant difference. RESULT: The patients' blood pressure in the morning was significantly higher than the control healthy persons. The plasmas glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and uric acid of the OSAHS patients were all in a higher level than those of the control group healthy persons. There were significant differences between the two groups. The mitochondrial coupling factor 6 (CF6) of moderate OSAHS patients or severe OSAHS patients was more than that of the healthy persons (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION OSAHS is a potential risk factor on the cardiovascular diseases and the metabolism disorders. The mitochondrial coupling factor 6 (CF6) may play an important role in the procedure of X syndrome.
