Individual and combined relationship of serum uric acid and alanine aminotransferase on metabolic syndrome in adults in Qingdao,China

Background and aimsAssociations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and serum uric acid (SUA) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) remain controversial. We aimed to explore individual and combined effects of ALT and SUA on MetS in community residents.Methods and resultsA population-based cross-sectional survey involving randomly selected Chinese adults aged 35–74 years was conducted in 2009 in Qingdao, China, and 4642 participants were included in the current study. Based on a combination of SUA and ALT levels in the tertile, subjects were grouped into Group 1-9. The individual and combined relations of SUA and ALT to MetS were analyzed by logistic regression models. The prevalence of MetS was 28.50% in males and 22.30% in females. ALT and SUA were independently associated with MetS and ORs (95% CIs) were 1.55 (1.42–1.70) and 1.92 (1.72–2.14), respectively, after adjusting for potential confounders. With the elevation of ALT and SUA levels, the risk of developing MetS increased. Compared to Group 1, ORs (95% CIs) of combined ALT and SUA for MetS were 2.21 (1.70–2.88), 4.02 (3.10–5.21), 2.19 (1.62–2.97), 2.53 (1.91–3.34), 4.69 (3.60–6.12), 1.76 (1.17–2.64), 3.65 (2.63–5.06) and 7.15 (5.41–9.46) in Group 2–9, respectively.ConclusionsALT and SUA were both related to MetS independently. Combined elevation of ALT and SUA levels could increase the risk of MetS and its components than an elevation in SUA and ALT alone. Therefore, measures should be taken to lower SUA and ALT levels to reduce the risk of having MetS.     

The accuracy of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index for the screening of metabolic syndrome in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis

AimsTo investigate the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a novel surrogate index of insulin resistance (IR), and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a systematic review and meta-analysis.Data synthesisStudies that report the TyG index in adult subjects with and without MetS were included. Thirteen observational articles were included in this study, with a total of 49,325 participants. Two different categories of meta-analyses were performed. First, the means of the TyG index were compared in participants with and without MetS. The pooled mean difference (MD) of the TyG index between groups was 0.83 units (CI 95: 0.74–0.92, I2 = 98, P-value < 0.001), and the subgroup analyses showed MD significantly differed based on the MetS diagnostic criteria. The pooled MD were 0.80 units (CI 95: 0.70–0.91, I2 = %88, P-value < 0.001) and 0.82 units (CI 95: 0.79–0.86, I2 = %0, P-value > 0.767) for studies reported data for males and females individual, respectively. Second bivariate diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) meta-analysis was performed and determined that the TyG index's pooled sensitivity and specificity for screening of MetS were 80% (CI95: 75%–84%, I2 = 87%, P-value < 0.001) and 81% (CI95: 77%–84%, I2 = 90.45%, P-value < 0.001), respectively. Summary receiver-operating characteristics (sROC) curves were also plotted with the area under the sROC curve of 0.87 (CI 95: 0.84–0.90).ConclusionsThe TyG index is a sensitive and specific index for MetS and may be valuable for MetS screening.ProsperoCRD42022316209.     

先天性胫骨假关节的文献计量学分析CSCD

Objective To quantify the 100 most frequently cited papers in CPT for predicting research hotspots for benefitting future clinical outcomes. Methods Web of Science database was searched for publications related to CPT original research from January 1, 1900 to December 31, 2022. And Cited Reference Search tool was employed for retrieving articles to determine the most cited item. Then a knowledge map was generated for number ofcitations, publication year, publication periodical, author unit, publication country and key words. Results Top 100 selected articles were cited from 11 to 196 times and publication period started from 1928 to 2016. Clinical research was the major type (n =93) and only 7 studies belonged to basic research. The largest contribution came from the United States (n =37), followed by Republic of Korea (n =9), Germany (n =6) and Italy (n=6). The frequently appearing keywords were divided into 2 groups of “Neurofibroma” and “Clinical characteristic of pseudarthrosis”. And term “NF1” was the latest hot spot in the most cited article. Conclusion Current researches on CPT focuse upon clinical treatment. Basic research on the pathogenesis of CPT is still relatively lacking. In the future, investment in basic research on CPT should be strengthened to provide a more comprehensive treatment for CPT. © 2022, Journal of Clinical Pediatric Surgery. All rights reserved.     

Electrolyte analysis of pleural effusion for discrimination between seawater and freshwater drowning in decomposed bodies

ObjectiveThe diagnosis of drowning is an important issue in forensic investigations. Moreover, discriminating between seawater and freshwater drowning is crucial to identify where the drowning occurred. The present study aimed to investigate electrolyte concentrations in pleural fluid in decomposed bodies in late postmortem intervals and derive cut-off values for the diagnosis of seawater and freshwater drowning.Study designData were collected from 44 seawater drowning cases, 60 freshwater drowning cases, and 30 non-drowning cases with pleural effusion which served as controls. The levels of sodium ion (Na⁺), potassium ion (K⁺), and chloride ion (Cl⁻) of pleural fluid were measured, and two indices were calculated: summation of Na⁺ and K⁺ levels (SUM _Na + K), and summation of Na⁺, K⁺, and Cl⁻ levels (SUM _{Na + K + Cl}). The means of the three ion concentrations and two indices significantly differed between the three groups (p < 0.0001).ResultsThe receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that the sensitivity and specificity were both 1.000 for SUM _{Na + K + Cl} of 288.3 mEq/L between the seawater and control groups. The Na⁺ value of 109.0 mEq/L also had a high sensitivity of 0.977 and a specificity of 0.933 in the seawater and control groups. The sensitivity and specificity were 0.967 and 1.000, respectively, for SUM _Na + K of 123.2 mEq/L between the freshwater and control groups.ConclusionThe electrolyte concentrations in pleural effusion may be useful for the diagnosis of drowning in decomposed bodies with a longer postmortem interval.     

Cautions on the laboratory indicators of COVID‐19 patients on and during admission

BackgroundDifferent disease severities of COVID‐19 patients could be reflected on clinical laboratory findings.MethodsIn this single‐centered retrospective study, demographic, clinical, and laboratory indicators on and during admission were compared among 74 participants with mild, moderate, critical severe, or severe classification. Risk factors associated with disease severity were analyzed by multivariate analyses. The AUC and 95% CI of the ROC curve were calculated.ResultsThe most common manifestations of these patients were fever and cough. Critical severe or severe group owned the longest length of stay (23 (19,31), p < 0.001). After multivariate logistic regression, independent influence factors on admission for severity of disease were CK‐MB (OR 0.674; 95% CI 0.489–0.928; p = 0.016), LDH (OR 1.111 or 1.107; 95% CI 1.026–1.204 or 1.022–1.199; p = 0.009 or 0.013), normal T‐BIL (OR 4.58 × 10⁻⁸; 95% CI 3.05 × 10⁻⁹–6.88 × 10⁻⁷; p < 0.001), LYM% (OR 0.008; 95% CI 0–0.602; p = 0.029), and normal ESR (OR 0.016; 95% CI 0–0.498; p = 0.019). Factors during hospitalization were normal T‐BIL (OR 8.56 × 10⁻⁹; 95% CI 8.30 × 10⁻¹⁰–8.83 × 10⁻⁸; p < 0.001), LYM (OR 0.068; 95% CI 0.005–0.934; p = 0.044), albumin (OR 0.565; 95% CI 0.327–0.977; p = 0.041), and normal NEU% (OR 0.013; 95% CI 0.000–0.967; p = 0.048). Combined indicators of AUC were 0.860 (LYM, LDH, and normal ESR on admission, p < 0.001) and 0.750 (CK‐MB, LDH, and normal T‐BIL during hospitalization, p = 0.020) when predicting for severe or critical severe patients.ConclusionTo pay close attention to the progression of COVID‐19 and take measures promptly, we should be cautious of the laboratory indicators when patients on admission especially CK‐MB, LDH, LYM%, T‐BIL as well as ESR; and T‐BIL, LYM, albumin, NEU% with the process of disease.     

Influence of ADRB1, ADRB2, and COMT Genetic Polymorphisms on Postoperative Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Cardiac Valve Surgery

PurposeThe aim of this study is to prospectively investigate the influence of ADRB and COMT gene polymorphisms on postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.MethodsThis prospective cohort study included 223 patients undergoing elective cardiac valve surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. Demographic information, intraoperative data, postoperative data, and blood samples were collected. Patients were genotyped for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ADRB1 rs1801253, ADRB2 rs1042713, and COMT rs4680. Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) were used as the primary outcome to evaluate the postoperative prognosis of patients. Secondary outcomes included the duration of mechanical ventilatory support, intensive care unit stay, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative need of inotropic or vasoactive agents.FindingsThe overall incidence of MACCEs was 15.2%. Among 3 SNP loci, only different genotyped carriers of ADRB2 rs1042713 had statistically significant differences in the incidence of MACCEs (P = 0.005), especially for acute kidney injury (P = 0.023). The proportions of postoperative norepinephrine demand of patients carrying the AA genotype of ADRB2 rs1042713 (P = 0.016) and the AG genotype of COMT rs4680 (P = 0.018) were low. The duration of mechanical ventilatory support (P = 0.034) and postoperative hospital stay (P = 0.045) of patients carrying the AG genotype of COMT rs4680 was shortest. After multiple logistic regression analysis, we found that the G allele carriers of ADRB2 rs1042713 had a higher risk of MACCEs (AG vs AA genotype: odds ratio [OR] = 4.348; 95% CI, 1.529–12.359, P = 0.006; GG vs AA genotype: OR = 3.722; 95% CI, 1.060–13.071; P = 0.040), in particular with acute kidney injury (AG vs AA genotype: OR = 5.273; 95% CI, 1.093–25.451; P = 0.038; GG vs AA genotype: OR = 7.533; 95% CI, 1.275–44.522; P = 0.026). There was no SNP-SNP interaction found among the 3 SNPs with multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis.ImplicationThe ADRB2 rs1042713 polymorphism might be related to prognosis of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Patients carrying the G allele of ADRB2 rs1042713 had a higher risk of developing MACCEs, especially acute kidney injury. chictr.org.com identifier: ChiCTR1800015105.     

A Comparative Study of Anti-Gastric Cancer Activity Between Aqueous Extract and Ethanol Extract of Folium Cordylines Fruticosae

The active components in Folium Cordylines Fruticosae were extracted by heat reflux method. The solvents used were distilled water and ethanol. The effects of two types of extracts on gastric cancer cells were compared; dry extract yields were calculated, as well as the inhibition rates of gastric cancer MGC-803 cell proliferation and the colony cell counts. The micro-Kjeldahl method was used to measure the cell protein contents and to make a comprehensive comparison. The results showed that the MGC-803 cell inhibition rates of three different concentrations (32.5, 75 and 150 mg/ml) of ethanol extracts increased with the increase of concentration, which was 48.9% at a concentration of 150 mg/ml; aqueous extract of Folium Cordylines Fruticosae had very low inhibitory activity at a low concentration (32.5 mg/ml), which was remained at about 20%. After being affected by two types of extracts, cells had uneven sizes, with very low brightness, while the normal cells presented a uniform full form, with high definition.
