Introduction Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease both constitute autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) that frequently coexist with other autoimmune disorders (AID). This study was conducted to evaluate the frequency of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients diagnosed with AITD in relation to the general population. Patients and methods This was a cross-sectional case–control study, conducted on 103 patients with AITD of either Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease with positive antithyroid peroxidase (TPOAb). A group 100 volunteers, matched for age and sex, with normal thyroid function and negative history of AID, were investigated for the prevalence of RA in the general population (control group). Participants in the study were tested for thyroid profile, rheumatoid factor (RF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein. When appropriate, anticitrullinated peptide antibody was checked. Results Patients with AITD had a higher frequency of RA than the control (P=0.031). Thyroid profile showed no significant difference between patients with and without RA within the group of AITD. In that group, a positive correlation between titers of both RF and TPOAb was observed (r=0.474, P<0.001). The coexistence of RA with AITD was noticed to be associated with higher RF, C-reactive protein, and TPOAb titers as well as. the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus, other AID and family history of RA. Conclusion RA is more prevalent in patients with AITD than the general population, and the underlying autoimmunity is likely to be the link. Our data highlight the importance of screening thyroid patients for RA especially if present with type 2 diabetes mellitus, another AID, or having a family history of RA.
桥本甲状腺炎和Graves病都是自身免疫性甲状腺疾病(AITD),常与其他自身免疫性疾病(AID)共存。本研究旨在评估诊断为AITD的患者患类风湿关节炎(RA)的频率与一般人群的关系。患者和方法这是一项横断面病例对照研究,对103例桥本甲状腺炎或Graves病合并AITD且抗甲状腺过氧化物酶(TPOAb)阳性的患者进行了研究。一组100名志愿者,年龄和性别匹配,甲状腺功能正常,无aids病史,调查一般人群(对照组)RA患病率。研究参与者进行了甲状腺、类风湿因子(RF)、红细胞沉降率和c反应蛋白的检测。适当时,检测抗细肽抗体。结果AITD患者RA发生频率高于对照组(P=0.031)。在AITD组中,有RA和无RA患者的甲状腺特征无显著差异。在该组中,RF和TPOAb滴度呈正相关(r=0.474, P<0.001)。RA与AITD的共存被认为与较高的RF、c反应蛋白和TPOAb滴度有关。2型糖尿病、其他aids和RA家族史。结论RA在AITD患者中的发病率高于一般人群,潜在的自身免疫可能是其中的联系。我们的数据强调了筛查甲状腺类风湿性关节炎患者的重要性,特别是如果患者同时患有2型糖尿病、其他类风湿性关节炎或有类风湿性关节炎家族史。

Context Diabetic neuropathy is one of the commonest long-term complications of diabetes seen in routine healthcare and considered the most common cause of peripheral neuropathy in developed world. Aim The aim of our work was to measure advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and their receptors (RAGEs) in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), both painful and painless DPN. Patients and methods Our study was conducted on 50 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with peripheral neuropathy, divided into two subgroups: the first group included 25 patients with painful DPN and the second group included 25 patients with painless DPN. Moreover, a third group included 20 diabetic patients without peripheral neuropathy, and a fourth group that included 20 healthy participants. All groups were subjected to full history taking and clinical examination, anthropometric parameters, the calculation of neuropathy disability score, and nerve conduction studies (peroneal, sural, and tibial nerves). Laboratory investigations included serum AGEs and RAGEs. Results Our study demonstrated that hemoglobin A1c, AGE, and RAGE showed statistically significant difference between the studied groups. Hemoglobin A1c was significantly high in both neuropathic and diabetic groups in comparison with control. Regarding AGE, it was statistically higher in neuropathic group than in control (P<0.011). On the contrary, RAGE was significantly higher in both neuropathic and diabetic groups rather than control (P<0.02). Although the neuropathic group has higher levels of AGE and RAGE than diabetic group, the difference was statistically nonsignificant. Significant difference was found between studied groups regarding nerve conduction studies of sural and tibial nerves. Statistically significant difference was found in the parameters of nerve conduction studies between neuropathic group and both non-neuropathic diabetic and control groups. Conclusion Our study concluded that AGE and RAGE are significantly higher in diabetic patients with neuropathy versus control, with more elevation in neuropathic group than in diabetic without neuropathy.
糖尿病性神经病变是常规医疗中糖尿病最常见的长期并发症之一,在发达国家被认为是周围神经病变最常见的原因。目的:研究糖尿病周围神经病变(DPN)的晚期糖基化终产物(AGEs)及其受体(RAGEs),包括疼痛性和无痛性DPN。患者与方法我们对50例伴有周围神经病变的2型糖尿病患者进行研究,分为两组:第一组25例疼痛性DPN患者,第二组25例无痛性DPN患者。此外,第三组包括20名没有周围神经病变的糖尿病患者,第四组包括20名健康参与者。所有组均接受完整的病史和临床检查、人体测量参数、神经病变残疾评分计算和神经传导研究(腓、腓肠和胫神经)。实验室检查包括血清AGEs和RAGEs。结果我们的研究表明,血红蛋白A1c、AGE和RAGE在实验组之间有统计学差异。与对照组相比,神经病变组和糖尿病组的糖化血红蛋白均显著升高。在AGE方面,神经病组明显高于对照组(P<0.011)。相反,神经病变组和糖尿病组的RAGE均显著高于对照组(P<0.02)。虽然神经病变组的AGE和RAGE水平高于糖尿病组,但差异无统计学意义。在腓肠神经和胫神经的神经传导研究中,两组间存在显著差异。神经性糖尿病组与非神经性糖尿病组及对照组的神经传导研究参数差异有统计学意义。结论伴有神经病变的糖尿病患者的AGE和RAGE水平明显高于对照组,且神经病变组的AGE和RAGE水平高于无神经病变的糖尿病患者。

Introduction Fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21) regulates glucose and lipid metabolism and protects against atherosclerosis. Serum FGF21 levels were assessed in newly diagnosed, drug-naive patients with prediabetes (group 1, n=60) and diabetes mellitus type 2 (group 2, n=60), in addition to 40 healthy individuals (group 3, n=40). Results Serum FGF21 levels were significantly increased in groups 1 and 2 compared with group 3 (231.7±59.3 and 260.4±82.5 vs. 22.6±5.31 pg/dl, respectively; P<0.001 for both). Moreover, group 2 had statistically significantly higher FGF21 levels compared with group 1 (P=0.03). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis identified FGF21 cutoff value of greater than 204 and 30 pg/ml for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type 2 and prediabetes, with an area under the curve 0.72 and 1, sensitivity of 82.5 and 100%, and specificity of 60 and 100%, respectively. Using univariate analysis, FGF21 was positively correlated with blood pressure, obesity (BMI and waist–hip ratio), glycemic (glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin) and insulin resistance (fasting insulin and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance) parameters, atherogenic lipid profile, liver enzymes, and cardiovascular disease risk score in group 1 and group 2. FGF21 correlated with albumin–creatinine ratio negatively in group 1 and positively in group 2. Independent predictors of FGF21 level were fasting glucose, insulin, and triglyceride in both patient groups. The independent predictors of FGF21 were obesity parameters in group 1 and albumin–creatinine ratio, age, and systolic blood pressure in group 2. Conclusion Among prediabetic patients, FGF21 is an excellent predictor and a novel linkage between metabolic parameters, circulatory system, and nephropathy.
成纤维细胞生长因子-21 (Fibroblast growth factor-21, FGF21)调节糖脂代谢,预防动脉粥样硬化。评估新诊断、未用药的前驱糖尿病患者(1组,n=60)和2型糖尿病患者(2组,n=60)以及40名健康个体(3组,n=40)的血清FGF21水平。结果1、2组血清FGF21水平较3组显著升高(分别为231.7±59.3、260.4±82.5、22.6±5.31 pg/dl);P<0.001)。2组FGF21水平明显高于1组(P=0.03)。经受试者工作特征曲线分析,FGF21截断值大于204和30 pg/ml诊断2型糖尿病和糖尿病前期,曲线下面积分别为0.72和1,敏感性分别为82.5和100%,特异性分别为60和100%。通过单因素分析,FGF21与1组和2组的血压、肥胖(BMI和腰臀比)、血糖(葡萄糖和糖化血红蛋白)和胰岛素抵抗(空腹胰岛素和体内平衡模型评估-胰岛素抵抗)参数、动脉粥样硬化脂质谱、肝酶和心血管疾病风险评分呈正相关。FGF21与白蛋白-肌酐比值在1组呈负相关,在2组呈正相关。两组患者中FGF21水平的独立预测因子为空腹血糖、胰岛素和甘油三酯。FGF21的独立预测因子为1组的肥胖参数和2组的白蛋白-肌酐比、年龄和收缩压。结论在糖尿病前期患者中,FGF21是一个很好的预测指标,也是代谢参数、循环系统和肾病之间的一个新的联系。

Introduction Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a group of pandemic debilitating metabolic diseases featuring chronic hyperglycemia that results from defective insulin secretion and/or insulin actions. Dame and Sutor reported that diabetic patients are prone to thrombocytosis through a complex interplay of mechanisms. Therefore, the aim of our work is to evaluate serum sclerostin levels in patients with T2DM and to analyze the relationships among sclerostin, bone mineral density (BMD), bone metabolism, and thrombocytosis. Objective This study aimed to evaluate serum sclerostin in T2DM and its correlations with bone metabolism and thrombocytosis. Patients and methods Fifty male T2DM patients were enrolled; they were divided into two groups according to existing thrombocytosis. Forty age-matched men were included as controls. Clinical tests of physical mobility, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, calcium, creatinine, parathormone (PTH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), serum carboxy-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (sCTX-I), serum sclerostin, and BMD were performed. Results There were insignificant increases in BMD in diabetic patients versus controls. There were significantly lower levels of PTH, BALP, and sCTX-I in the diabetes mellitus (DM) patient groups compared with the controls (P < 0.001). Serum sclerostin levels were significantly higher in DM patients than the controls, with insignificantly higher sclerostin levels in group II. Serum sclerostin was correlated positively with disease duration and correlated negatively with PTH, BALP, and sCTX-I (P < 0.001). Conclusion Sclerostin plays a role in the pathogenesis of bone changes in T2DM. The interplay between vitamin D, PTH, and blood glucose highlights the possibility of an existing endocrine axis. Finally, the role of osteocytes in regulating hematopoiesis and association with DM and osteoporosis should be investigated further.
2型糖尿病(T2DM)是一组以胰岛素分泌和/或胰岛素作用缺陷引起的慢性高血糖为特征的大流行衰弱性代谢性疾病。Dame和Sutor报道,糖尿病患者通过复杂的相互作用机制容易发生血小板增多。因此,我们的工作目的是评估2型糖尿病患者的血清硬化蛋白水平,并分析硬化蛋白与骨矿物质密度(BMD)、骨代谢和血小板增多之间的关系。目的探讨2型糖尿病患者血清硬化蛋白水平及其与骨代谢和血小板增多的关系。患者与方法入选男性2型糖尿病患者50例;根据有无血小板增多情况分为两组。40名年龄相仿的男性作为对照。进行身体活动能力、空腹血糖、糖化血红蛋白、钙、肌酐、甲状旁腺激素(PTH)、25-羟基维生素D、骨特异性碱性磷酸酶(BALP)、血清I型胶原羧基末端交联末端肽(sCTX-I)、血清硬化蛋白和骨密度的临床试验。结果与对照组相比,糖尿病患者骨密度无明显升高。糖尿病(DM)患者组PTH、BALP和sctx - 1水平明显低于对照组(P < 0.001)。糖尿病患者血清硬化蛋白水平显著高于对照组,II组血清硬化蛋白水平不显著高于对照组。血清硬化蛋白与病程呈正相关,与PTH、BALP、sCTX-I呈负相关(P < 0.001)。结论硬化蛋白参与T2DM患者骨改变的发生。维生素D、甲状旁腺激素和血糖之间的相互作用突出了存在内分泌轴的可能性。最后,骨细胞在调节造血中的作用及其与糖尿病和骨质疏松症的关系有待进一步研究。

Objective The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of an individualized educational program in improving patient’s awareness, knowledge, and attitude and to assess its role in reducing the burden of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Patients and methods A prospective study was conducted on women diagnosed to have GDM at 24–28 weeks of gestation according to The Diabetes In Pregnancy Study group India criteria 2015 (2 h blood glucose ≥140 mg/dl) between December 2015 and December 2016 who were enrolled into an individualized GDM educational program. A modified and shortened version of a validated questionnaire developed by Carolan and colleagues was tested before and after education to evaluate the feedback of education. Follow-up was every 2 weeks till labor to assess awareness together with both maternal and fetal outcomes. Results A total of 60 pregnant women diagnosed to have GDM were included. The questions that were answered correctly in the post-test by more than 50% of the participants fell into these categories: definition of GDM (100%), associated risk factors (75%), way of diagnosis (83.3%), management of GDM (71.7%), and postpartum follow-up (56.7%). As regards fetal and maternal outcome it was observed that both weight gain and glycemic control were better in the well-educated group versus other groups (P=0.02, 0.01, respectively). Conclusion Health education plays an important role in increasing patients awareness regarding the GDM risk and its proper management in order to reduce its complications both for the mother and the fetus.
目的评价个体化教育方案在提高患者对妊娠期糖尿病(GDM)的认识、知识和态度方面的效果,并评价其在减轻妊娠期糖尿病(GDM)负担中的作用。患者和方法在2015年12月至2016年12月期间,根据妊娠糖尿病研究组印度2015年标准(2小时血糖≥140 mg/dl)对妊娠24-28周诊断为GDM的妇女进行了一项前瞻性研究,这些妇女参加了个体化GDM教育计划。Carolan和他的同事们在教育前后分别测试了一份经过修改和缩短的有效问卷,以评估教育的反馈。每2周随访一次,直到分娩,以评估意识以及母胎结局。结果共纳入60例确诊为GDM的孕妇。后测中回答正确率超过50%的问题分别为:GDM的定义(100%)、相关危险因素(75%)、诊断方式(83.3%)、GDM的处理(71.7%)、产后随访(56.7%)。至于胎儿和母亲的结局,观察到受过良好教育的组体重增加和血糖控制比其他组更好(P分别=0.02,0.01)。结论健康教育对提高患者对GDM风险的认识和管理,减少其对母儿的并发症具有重要作用。

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major complication of sepsis in ICU patients. The overall incidence of AKI in ICU patients ranges from 20 to 50% with lower incidence seen in elective surgical patients and higher incidence in sepsis patients. AKI represents a significant risk factor for mortality and can be associated with mortality greater than 50%. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of angiopoietin-2 as a biomarker in sepsis induced AKI. Patients and methods The study was conducted on 60 participants (20 patients with septic AKI, 20 patients with sepsis only without AKI and 20 healthy volunteers as the control group). Serum angiopoietin-2 levels were assessed by the ELISA technique. Clinical, biochemical, and therapeutic data were collected. Results High levels of serum angiopoietin-2 were detected in patients with septic AKI. These levels were significantly higher in relation to septic patients with no AKI and the control group. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between serum angiopoietin-2 level in the septic AKI group and serum creatinine, white blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, and there was a statistically significant negative correlation between serum angiopoietin-2 level in the septic AKI group and the estimated glomerular filtration rate. Conclusion Serum angiopoietin-2 levels were significantly positive in patients with septic AKI. Serum angiopoietin-2 may be used as a biomarker in sepsis induced AKI.
背景急性肾损伤(AKI)是ICU患者脓毒症的主要并发症。ICU患者AKI的总发生率为20% - 50%,择期手术患者发生率较低,脓毒症患者发生率较高。AKI是死亡率的一个重要危险因素,其相关死亡率可能超过50%。本研究的目的是探讨血管生成素-2作为一种生物标志物在脓毒症诱导的AKI中的作用。患者与方法本研究共纳入60例受试者(20例脓毒症AKI患者,20例脓毒症仅伴AKI患者,20例健康志愿者作为对照组)。ELISA法测定血清血管生成素-2水平。收集临床、生化和治疗数据。结果脓毒性AKI患者血清血管生成素-2水平较高。与无AKI的脓毒症患者和对照组相比,这些水平明显更高。脓毒性AKI组血清血管生成素-2水平与血清肌酐、白细胞计数、红细胞沉降率、c反应蛋白呈显著正相关,脓毒性AKI组血清血管生成素-2水平与肾小球滤过率预测值呈显著负相关。结论脓毒性AKI患者血清血管生成素-2水平明显升高。血清血管生成素-2可作为脓毒症诱导AKI的生物标志物。

Introduction Several studies have shown high prevalence of osteoporosis and weight loss in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Leptin regulates bone metabolism, body weight, and pulmonary artery pressure. The association of bone density and serum leptin with BODE score in moderate COPD patients is still unclear. Aim of the study The aim of the study was to explore the association of serum leptin with average bone attenuation assessed by routine chest MDCT, and their correlation with clinical and echocardiographic parameters. Patients and methods The study included 54 male patients with low BMI and moderate COPD severity. Patients were divided into two groups: those with COPD exacerbations (24 patients; group I) and those with stable COPD (30 patients, group II). Twenty male volunteers of matched age and BMI were included as controls (group III). Calculation of BMI and BODE score was done. Spirometry and echocardiography were performed in all participants. Average bone attenuation of the thoracic spine was estimated by MDCT. Serum leptin was estimated. Results Group I and group II had significantly lower bone attenuation and higher BODE index, pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), and right ventricle diameter (RVD) as compared with healthy controls (P < 0.001). Serum leptin level and leptin/BMI ratio were significantly increased in group I than in other groups (P < 0.001). Group II had significantly lower serum leptin than did controls. Serum leptin correlated positively with age, BMI, COPD severity, and bone attenuation and showed significant negative correlation with BODE score and serum calcium in group II. Meanwhile; it showed significant positive correlation with BMI and PASP in group I. In the stable COPD group, PASP, RVD, BMI, and bone attenuation were independent predictors of serum leptin, whereas BODE score, FEV 1 , FEV 1 /FVC, PASP, RVD, BMI, and serum leptin were independent predictors of bone attenuation. Conclusion COPD patients with moderate severity and low BMI had increased circulating leptin and low calcium level during exacerbation. Serum leptin level correlated with bone attenuation in stable but not in exacerbation states.
几项研究表明,慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者骨质疏松症和体重减轻的患病率很高。瘦素调节骨代谢、体重和肺动脉压。中度COPD患者骨密度和血清瘦素与BODE评分的关系尚不清楚。本研究的目的是探讨血清瘦素与常规胸部MDCT评估的平均骨衰减的关系,以及它们与临床和超声心动图参数的相关性。患者和方法本研究纳入54例低BMI、中度COPD严重程度的男性患者。患者分为两组:COPD加重组(24例);I组)和稳定期COPD患者(30例,II组)。选取年龄和BMI相匹配的男性志愿者20例作为对照(III组),计算BMI和BODE评分。所有参与者均进行肺活量测定和超声心动图检查。通过MDCT估计胸椎的平均骨衰减。测定血清瘦素。结果与健康对照组相比,ⅰ组和ⅱ组骨衰减明显降低,BODE指数、肺动脉收缩压(PASP)、右心室直径(RVD)均明显升高(P < 0.001)。I组患者血清瘦素水平和瘦素/BMI比值显著高于其他组(P < 0.001)。II组的血清瘦素明显低于对照组。II组血清瘦素与年龄、BMI、COPD严重程度、骨衰减呈正相关,与BODE评分、血钙呈显著负相关。与此同时;在稳定期COPD组,PASP、RVD、BMI和骨衰减是血清瘦素的独立预测因子,而BODE评分、FEV 1、FEV 1 /FVC、PASP、RVD、BMI和血清瘦素是骨衰减的独立预测因子。结论中等严重程度、低BMI的COPD患者在加重期循环瘦素升高、低钙水平升高。血清瘦素水平与稳定状态骨衰减相关,而与恶化状态无关。

Introduction Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) plays an important role in regulating phosphate and vitamin D homeostasis. Elevated levels of FGF23 are independently associated with mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease and End stage renal disease (ESRD). Whether FGF23 levels are elevated and associated with adverse outcomes in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) has not been studied so far. Objective The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between FGF23 levels in patients with AKI and morbidity, mortality, and/or the need for renal replacement therapy. Patients and methods The study included two groups: group 1, which included 30 AKI patients from the general medical ward and ICUs [identified in accordance with the criteria established by Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) grading of AKI]; and group 2, which included 30 healthy controls matched with the patients as regards age and sex. Plasma levels of C-terminal FGF23, 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D [1,25(OH)2D], and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) were measured within 24 h of AKI onset and 5 days later. The composite end point was death or need for renal replacement therapy. Results FGF23 levels on day 1 were significantly higher among participants with AKI than among controls (mean level: 278.20 ± 220.58 vs. 14.60 ± 9 pg/ml). There was a statistically significant negative correlation between FGF23 and vitamin D on day 1, with a P-value of less than 0.023, whereas there was no statistically significant negative correlation between FGF23 and vitamin D on day 5, with a P-value of 0.102. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between FGF23 on day 1 and both Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores, with a P-value of less than 0.001. FGF23 proved to be a good predictor of mortality (sensitivity: 100%, specificity: 85%) at a cutoff value of 280 pg/ml. Conclusion FGF23 levels are elevated in AKI patients and are associated with increased mortality. AKI is also associated with significant reduction in the level of 1,25(OH)2D and with significant elevation of PTH.
成纤维细胞生长因子23 (FGF23)在调节磷酸盐和维生素D稳态中起重要作用。FGF23水平升高与慢性肾病和终末期肾病(ESRD)患者的死亡率独立相关。急性肾损伤(AKI)患者中FGF23水平是否升高并与不良结局相关尚无研究。本研究的目的是确定AKI患者中FGF23水平与发病率、死亡率和/或肾脏替代治疗需求之间的关系。患者和方法本研究分为两组:第一组,来自普通病房和icu的30例AKI患者[根据急性肾损伤网络(Acute Kidney Injury Network, AKIN) AKI分级标准确定];第二组,包括30名与患者年龄和性别相匹配的健康对照。在AKI发病24小时内和5天后测定血浆c端FGF23、1,25-二羟基维生素D [1,25(OH)2D]和完整甲状旁腺激素(iPTH)水平。复合终点为死亡或需要肾脏替代治疗。结果AKI患者第1天FGF23水平显著高于对照组(平均水平:278.20±220.58比14.60±9 pg/ml)。第1天FGF23与维生素D呈显著负相关,p值小于0.023;第5天FGF23与维生素D呈显著负相关,p值为0.102。第1天FGF23与急性生理与慢性健康评估和序事性器官衰竭评分呈正相关,p值小于0.001。FGF23被证明是一个很好的死亡率预测指标(敏感性:100%,特异性:85%),临界值为280 pg/ml。结论:AKI患者FGF23水平升高与死亡率升高相关。AKI还与1,25(OH)2D水平的显著降低和PTH水平的显著升高有关。

Background The Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score inaccurately predicts survival in patients with chronic liver disease, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet remains the standard tool for assessing hepatic reserve and guiding therapeutic decisions. CTP scoring relies on objective laboratory values for albumin, bilirubin, and prothrombin time and subjective clinical grading of hepatic encephalopathy and ascites. As liver production of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is significantly reduced in patients with cirrhosis, we hypothesized that IGF-1 could be a valid surrogate for hepatic reserve to replace the subjective parameters in CTP scores. Materials and methods We prospectively enrolled patients and collected data and retrospectively tested plasma IGF-1 levels in four independent cohorts: two HCC cohorts from the USA [n = 310 (training set) and n = 99 (validation set 1)]; one HCC cohort from Korea [n = 188 (validation set 2)]; and one cirrhosis cohort from Egypt [n = 71 (validation set 3)]. Recursive partitioning identified within the training set three optimal IGF-1 ranges that correlated with survival: >50 ng/ml = 1 point; 26-50 ng/ml = 2 points; and <26 ng/ml = 3 points. We modified the CTP score by replacing ascites and encephalopathy grading with IGF-1 values, subjected both the resulting IGF score and the CTP score to log-rank analysis, and quantified the prognostic values with C-statistics to compare the scores′ performance in all cohorts. Results The IGF score was significantly more accurate in predicting survival and improved the stratification of all CTP classes in the training and validation cohorts. Conclusion The new IGF score is simple and blood-based, and validated well on multiple independent HCC cohorts. It could identify a subpopulation of patients who may benefit from active therapy because of their preserved hepatic reserve, as distinct from patients for whom therapy can be deferred or avoided.
child - turcote - pugh (CTP)评分不能准确预测包括肝细胞癌(HCC)在内的慢性肝病患者的生存,但仍是评估肝脏储备和指导治疗决策的标准工具。CTP评分依赖于白蛋白、胆红素和凝血酶原时间的客观实验室值以及肝性脑病和腹水的主观临床分级。由于肝硬化患者肝脏产生的胰岛素样生长因子-1 (IGF-1)显著减少,我们假设IGF-1可以作为肝储备的有效替代品,取代CTP评分中的主观参数。我们在四个独立的队列中前瞻性地招募患者,收集数据并回顾性地检测血浆IGF-1水平:两个来自美国的HCC队列[n = 310(训练集)和n = 99(验证集1)];一个来自韩国的HCC队列[n = 188(验证集2)];一个来自埃及的肝硬化队列[n = 71(验证集3)]。递归划分在训练集中确定了与生存相关的三个最佳IGF-1范围:>50 ng/ml = 1点;26-50 ng/ml = 2分;<26 ng/ml = 3分。我们修改了CTP评分,用IGF-1值代替腹水和脑病分级,对所得的IGF评分和CTP评分进行log-rank分析,并用C-statistics量化预后值,比较所有队列中评分的表现。结果在训练和验证队列中,IGF评分在预测生存方面明显更准确,并改善了所有CTP类别的分层。结论新的IGF评分方法简单,基于血液,在多个独立的HCC队列中得到了很好的验证。它可以识别出一个亚群患者,他们可能受益于积极治疗,因为他们保留了肝脏储备,而不是那些可以推迟或避免治疗的患者。

Introduction Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and is attributed to a combination of traditional and nontraditional risk factors. In recent years, there has been an increasing recognition of a very high prevalence of cardiovascular calcification in the ESRD population, including patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis. The mechanism is multifactorial, including structural and functional abnormalities in the large vessels, disorders in calcium (Ca2+) and phosphate (P) metabolism, vascular smooth muscle cells changes, and regulatory markers such as fetuin-A and osteoprotegerin (OPG). Aim of the work The aim of the present study was to determine the utility of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) for the assessment of coronary artery calcifications (CACs) and to identify the potential risks for CAC, including calcification regulating proteins such as fetuin-A and OPG, among patients with ESRD on maintenance dialysis (HD and peritoneal dialysis). Patients and methods This study included 70 patients who were divided into four groups: 20 patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), 10 patients with ESRD stage 4 and 5, 30 patients on HD (subdivided into three subgroups according to the duration of HD: for 1–5 years, for 5–10 years, and for more than 10 years), and 10 healthy controls. They were subjected to complete history-taking, thorough clinical examination, investigations including serum level of fetuin-A, serum level of OPG by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique, as well as MSCT imaging using 128-detector scanners for the quantification of CAC (calcium scoring) by using the Agatston method. Results There was a significant decrease in the serum level of fetuin-A in patients on HD compared with patients on CAPD, as well as in healthy controls. Moreover, there was a significant increase in the serum level of OPG in patients on HD compared with its level in CAPD patients as well as in healthy controls. The calcium scoring was significantly high in the HD group of patients (group IIa) (P = 0.032), with a low calcium score in CAPD patients group (group I) (P = 0.036) compared with healthy controls in group IV. CAC scoring was correlated positively and significantly with serum level of OPG in the total samples (r = 0.345* and P = 0.0270).

心血管疾病是终末期肾病(ESRD)患者死亡的主要原因,并归因于传统和非传统危险因素的结合。近年来,越来越多的人认识到ESRD人群中心血管钙化的患病率非常高,包括接受血液透析(HD)和腹膜透析的患者。其机制是多因素的,包括大血管的结构和功能异常,钙(Ca2+)和磷酸盐(P)代谢紊乱,血管平滑肌细胞的变化以及调节标志物,如胎蛋白a和骨保护素(OPG)。本研究的目的是确定多层计算机断层扫描(MSCT)用于评估冠状动脉钙化(CACs)的效用,并确定CAC的潜在风险,包括钙化调节蛋白,如胎蛋白a和OPG,在维持透析(HD和腹膜透析)的ESRD患者中。患者和方法本研究纳入70例患者,分为4组:20例持续动态腹膜透析(CAPD)患者,10例ESRD 4期和5期患者,30例HD患者(根据HD持续时间分为3个亚组:1-5年,5 - 10年和10年以上),10例健康对照。他们接受了完整的病史记录,彻底的临床检查,包括使用酶联免疫吸附测定技术进行血清胎儿素a水平、血清OPG水平的调查,以及使用Agatston法使用128检测器扫描仪进行MSCT成像以定量CAC(钙评分)。结果与CAPD患者及健康对照组相比,HD患者血清中胎儿素a水平明显降低。此外,与CAPD患者和健康对照组相比,HD患者的血清OPG水平显著升高。HD组(IIa组)患者钙评分显著高于健康对照组(P = 0.032), CAPD组(I组)患者钙评分显著低于健康对照组(P = 0.036)。CAC评分与总样本血清OPG水平呈显著正相关(r = 0.345*, P = 0.0270)。另一方面,与总样本血清中胎儿素a水平呈显著负相关(r = - 0.411FNx01, P = 0.002)。结论胎儿素a和OPG是透析患者血管钙化的早期重要指标;此外,使用MSCT进行钙评分提供了一种评估这些患者血管钙化的无创方法。血管钙化在HD患者中比使用CAPD治疗的患者更明显;这有助于选择ESRD患者的治疗方式,以及早期发现和预防接受透析(HD或CAPD)治疗的ESRD患者的心血管(CVS)疾病。

In recent years, there has been an increasing recognition of a very high prevalence of cardiovascular calcification in the ESRD population, including patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis. The mechanism is multifactorial, including structural and functional abnormalities in the large vessels, disorders in calcium (Ca2+) and phosphate (P) metabolism, vascular smooth muscle cells changes, and regulatory markers such as fetuin-A and osteoprotegerin (OPG). Aim of the work The aim of the present study was to determine the utility of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) for the assessment of coronary artery calcifications (CACs) and to identify the potential risks for CAC, including calcification regulating proteins such as fetuin-A and OPG, among patients with ESRD on maintenance dialysis (HD and peritoneal dialysis). Patients and methods This study included 70 patients who were divided into four groups: 20 patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), 10 patients with ESRD stage 4 and 5, 30 patients on HD (subdivided into three subgroups according to the duration of HD: for 1–5 years, for 5–10 years, and for more than 10 years), and 10 healthy controls. They were subjected to complete history-taking, thorough clinical examination, investigations including serum level of fetuin-A, serum level of OPG by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique, as well as MSCT imaging using 128-detector scanners for the quantification of CAC (calcium scoring) by using the Agatston method. Results There was a significant decrease in the serum level of fetuin-A in patients on HD compared with patients on CAPD, as well as in healthy controls. Moreover, there was a significant increase in the serum level of OPG in patients on HD compared with its level in CAPD patients as well as in healthy controls. The calcium scoring was significantly high in the HD group of patients (group IIa) (P = 0.032), with a low calcium score in CAPD patients group (group I) (P = 0.036) compared with healthy controls in group IV. CAC scoring was correlated positively and significantly with serum level of OPG in the total samples (r = 0.345* and P = 0.0270). On the other hand, it was negatively and significantly correlated with the serum level of fetuin-A in the total samples (r = −0.411FNx01 and P = 0.002). Conclusion Fetuin-A and OPG can be early and important markers of vascular calcifications in patients on dialysis; in addition, calcium scoring using MSCT provides a noninvasive method of assessment of the vascular calcification in these patients.
