2017年12月至2018年12月,在天津医科大学总医院健康管理中心定期健康体检的3 509名研究对象中,曾罹患肿瘤、罹患慢病和健康对照三组分别有399、1 555、1 555名。年龄为(55.87±11.98)岁,男性占31.38%。慢病组MS患病率(42.44%)高于曾罹患肿瘤组(34.59%)和健康对照组(18.65%)( P<0.001)。与健康对照组相比,曾罹患肿瘤组和慢病组MS患病风险 OR(95% CI)值分别为2.13(1.61~2.83)和2.85(2.23~3.66);曾罹患乳腺癌和甲状腺癌MS患病风险 OR(95% CI)值分别为3.56(2.04~6.21)和2.77(1.46~5.25)。     

血清窖蛋白-1在慢性阻塞性肺疾病相关肺动脉高压患者中的表达及意义

目的 研究血清窖蛋白-1 （Cav-1） 在慢性阻塞性肺疾病 （COPD） 相关肺动脉高压 （PAH） 患者中的表达及其意义。方法 选取稳定期COPD患者65例， 根据是否合并PAH分成COPD组 ［肺动脉收缩压 （PASP） ＜40 mmHg， 35例］ 及COPD-PAH组 （PASP ≥40 mmHg， 30例）。另选取在本院健康体检的志愿者30例作为对照组。对比各组基线资料、 动脉血气分析、 肺功能指标， 以及血清Cav-1、 白细胞介素 （IL） -6和肿瘤坏死因子-α （TNF-α） 的表达水平。绘制受试者工作特征 （ROC） 曲线， 评价Cav-1对COPD合并PAH的诊断价值。结果 COPD-PAH组与COPD组第一秒用力呼吸容积 （FEV1） /用力肺活量 （FVC）、 FEV1占预计值百分比 （FEV1%） 及氧分压 ［p （O2 ）］ 低于对照组， 而二氧化碳分压 ［p （CO2 ）］、 PASP均高于对照组 （P＜0.01）。COPD-PAH组p （O2 ） 低于COPD组， p （CO2 ）、 PASP均高于COPD 组 （P＜0.01）。对照组、 COPD组及COPD-PAH组Cav-1表达水平呈逐渐降低趋势， 而IL-6、 TNF-α表达水平呈逐渐升高趋势 （P＜0.01）。血清Cav-1诊断COPD合并PAH的ROC曲线下面积为0.902 （0.821～0.955）， 最佳截断值为 6.66 μg/L， 此时诊断敏感度为76.7%， 特异度为85.7%， 与多普勒超声诊断仪测量PASP结果比较一致性较好 （Kappa 值=0.627）。结论 血清Cav-1在COPD相关PAH患者表达明显下调， 可以作为预测COPD相关PAH的新型血清标志物。     

Association of weight-adjusted-waist index with incident hypertension: The Rural Chinese Cohort Study

AimsTo explore the association between WWI and the incidence of HTN in the Rural Chinese Cohort Study.Methods and ResultsWe examined data for 10,338 non-hypertensive participants (39.49% men) aged ≥ 18 years from the Rural Chinese Cohort Study who completed a baseline examination during 2007–2008 and follow-up during 2013–2014. WWI was calculated as waist circumference (cm) divided by the square root of weight (kg). Multiple logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the probability of HTN across four WWI categories. Restricted cubic splines analysis was used to model the dose–response association of WWI and HTN. A total of 2078 participants had HTN during a median follow-up of 6 years. After adjusting for potential confounders, as compared with the lowest WWI category (<9.94 cm/√kg), with WWI 9.94 to 10.42, 10.42 to 10.91 and ≥ 10.91 cm/√kg, the ORs (95% CIs) for HTN were 1.12 (0.93–1.35), 1.40 (1.17–1.69) and 1.50 (1.24–1.82), respectively. Results of the sensitivity analyses were robust. The ORs were generally consistent on subgroup analysis by sex, smoking status, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Multiple logistic regression models with restricted cubic splines showed a non-linear positive association between WWI and HTN (P_nonlinearity < 0.001).ConclusionThe highest WWI category was significantly associated with increased risk of HTN. Our findings may facilitate the development and promotion of obesity prevention strategies aimed at reducing the risk of HTN and provide evidence for healthcare policy in rural China.     

Molecular profiling of Chinese R-CHOP treated DLBCL patients: Identifying a high-risk subgroup

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a clinically aggressive and heterogenous disease. Although most patients can be cured by immunochemotherapy, 30% to 40% patient will ultimately develop relapsed or refractory disease. Here, we investigated the molecular landscapes of patients with diverse responses to R-CHOP. We performed capture-based targeted sequencing on baseline samples of 105 DLBCL patients using a panel consisting of 112 lymphoma-related genes. Subsequently, 81 treatment-naïve patients with measurable disease and followed for over 1 year were included for survival analysis. Collectively, the most commonly seen mutations included IGH fusion (69%), PIM1(33%), MYD88 (29%), BCL2 (29%), TP53 (29%), CD79B (25%) and KMT2D (24%). Patients with TP53 mutations were more likely to have primary refractory disease (87.0% vs 50.0%, P = .009). For those with TP53 disruptive mutations, 91.7% patients were in the primary refractory group. Interestingly, BCL-2 somatic hypermutation was only seen in patients without primary refractory disease (P = .014). In multivariate analysis, BCL-2 amplification (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.94, P = .022), B2M mutation (HR = 2.99, P = .017) and TP53 mutation (HR = 3.19, P < .001) were independently associated with shorter time to progression (TTP). Furthermore, TP53 mutations was correlated with worse overall survival (P = .049). Next, we investigated mutation landscape in patients with wild-type (WT) TP53 (n = 58) and found that patients harboring MYD88 L265P had significantly inferior TTP than those with WT or non-265P (P = .046). Our study reveals the mutation spectrum of treatment-naive Chinese DLBCL patients. It also confirms the clinical significance of TP53 mutations and indicates the prognostic value of MYD88 L265P in TP53 WT patients.
