Background
Interleukin (IL)-21 is a member of the type I cytokine family and plays a role in the pathogenesis of T helper type 2 allergic diseases. It has been reported that IL-21 expression is upregulated in acute skin lesions in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients; however, little is known about the serum IL-21 levels of AD patients. The aim of this study was to quantify the serum IL-21 levels of AD patients and to evaluate the relationships between the serum IL-21 level and disease severity, laboratory markers, and eruption type in AD patients.Methods
We measured the serum IL-21 levels of adult AD patients and healthy control subjects using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results
The adult AD patients exhibited significantly higher serum IL-21 levels than the healthy control subjects. A comparison of the patients' serum IL-21 levels based on the clinical severity of their AD revealed that the patients with severe AD demonstrated significantly higher serum IL-21 levels than those with mild AD and the healthy control subjects. The serum IL-21 levels were significantly correlated with the skin severity score, and especially with the degree of acute lesions such as erythema and edema/papules. The serum IL-21 level was not associated with laboratory markers, such as the serum IgE level, the serum thymus and activation-related chemokine level, blood eosinophilia, and the serum lactate dehydrogenase level.Conclusions
These results suggest that IL-21 might be involved in the pathogenesis of AD, especially the development of acute skin lesions. 相似文献2.

Household scanner data are increasingly used to inform health policy such as sugar‐sweetened beverage taxes. This article examines whether differences in the level of reported expenditures between IRI Consumer Network scanner panel and the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) lead to important differences in demand elasticities and policy simulation outcomes. Using each dataset, we estimated a structural consumer demand system with seven food groups and a numéraire good. To compare the two datasets on a level playing field, we went to great lengths to ensure that the explanatory variables in the two demand models were comparably constructed. Results indicate that scanner data households are not consistently more price responsive than the general population and underreported Consumer Network expenditures do not seem to result in systematic differences in price elasticities. The income elasticities are uniformly lower in Consumer Network than in CES for higher income households because of the positive association between income and the degree of underreporting. This, however, has limited effects on uncompensated price elasticities and policy simulations because food budget shares are small for higher income households. Overall, these findings support continued use of household scanner data in health policy research related to effects of price (dis)incentives. 相似文献

Aims and objectives. This study was carried out to verify the accuracy of 12‐Lead ECG, obtained through a continuous ECG monitoring system with five cables positioned in EASI mode, to identify basic ECG alterations. Background. This study concerns continuous ECG monitoring systems in Coronary Care Units. Continuous ECG monitoring is an important device for nursing surveillance and is useful in decreasing adverse events. Design and method. Thirteen patients admitted consecutively to the Coronary Care Unit for Acute Myocardial Infarction underwent daily and simultaneous recording of a12‐lead ECG using both procedures: EASI ECG and STANDARD ECG. A sample of 1164 ECG leads acquired in EASI mode was compared with a sample of as many ECG leads acquired using the standard procedure with a traditional cardiograph. Results and conclusions. In the Coronary Care Unit, Continous ECG monitoring with five cables positioned in EASI mode is a valid alternative to the standard 12‐lead ECG for cardiac rhythm abnormalities detection and for acute myocardial ischemia and old myocardial infarction assessment. Therefore, the EASI system might be advantageous for long‐term patient monitoring. Relevance to clinical practice. The EASI system represents a valid device for the nursing surveillance of patients who need continuous ECG monitoring, improves clinical nursing practice in Coronary Care Units, supports the reduction of adverse events such as cardiac arrest and reduces the hospital costs. 相似文献

Accurate precordial electrode placement can be difficult in emergency situations leading either to loss of time or diminished accuracy. A possible solution is the quasi-orthogonal EASI lead system, with only five electrodes and easily defined landmarks to provide a derived 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that precordial waveforms in EASI-derived ECGs have no greater deviation from those in gold standard ECGs, than do the precordial waveforms in paramedic acquired standard ECGs. Twenty paramedics applied the standard precordial electrodes employing the routine procedure. A certified ECG technician applied the 6 standard precordial electrodes in their correct gold standard positions, and the EASI electrodes. 12-lead ECGs were obtained from the paramedics' standard leads, and derived from the EASI leads, for comparison with the gold standard ECG. In each precordial lead recording, 6 computer-measured QRS-T waveform parameters were considered. Differences between deltaEASI-gold standard versus deltaparamedic-gold standard were calculated for every waveform in every lead resulting in 720 comparisons. EASI and paramedic results were "equally accurate" in 47%, the paramedic was more accurate in 31%, and EASI was more accurate in the remaining 22%. The differences from gold standard recording of precordial waveforms in ECGs derived from the EASI leads and those acquired via paramedic-applied standard electrodes are similar. The results suggest that the EASI lead system may provide an alternative to the standard ECG precordial leads to facilitate data acquisition and possibly save valuable time in emergency situations. 相似文献

Derived 12-lead electrocardiogram in the assessment of ST-segment deviation and cardiac rhythm 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
BACKGROUND: There are little data on the validation of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) derived by the EASI lead system used for continuous monitoring in critical care settings. OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to determine the accuracy of 12-lead ECG derived by the EASI lead system in the detection of ST-segment deviation and cardiac rhythm compared with the standard 12-lead ECG. METHODS: All patients admitted to the coronary care unit were studied. Kappa statistics was used to calculate the agreement between both ECG systems in the determination of cardiac rhythm and premature ventricular complex morphology. ST-segment analysis was performed in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Pearson correlation was used to correlate the ST-segment deviation between both techniques. The sensitivity and specificity of the determination of significant ST-segment deviation by the EASI lead system were calculated. RESULTS: There were a total of 282 patients enrolled in this study. There was a complete agreement in the interpretation of cardiac rhythm between the 2 methods (kappa = 1). Analysis of ST-segment deviation of 12-lead ECG also showed a significant correlation (correlation coefficient varied from 0.62 in lead I to 0.823 in lead aVF with a P value of <.001 in all leads) between the 2 methods with very high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of significant ST-segment elevation and depression. CONCLUSION: The 12-lead ECG derived by the EASI lead system is an accurate and reliable information for the assessment of ST-segment deviation and cardiac rhythm in critically ill patients. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: Monitoring or serial 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings are the accepted requirement for prehospital data acquisition in patients with chest pain. The purpose of this study was to determine whether waveforms and clinical triage decision are similar in EASI-derived ECGs and paramedic-acquired 12-lead ECGs using Mason-Likar limb lead configuration when compared with standard 12-lead ECGs (stdECG). METHOD: Twenty patients with chest pain had a prehospital 12-lead ECG recorded in the ambulance, and paramedic-applied electrodes retained in place at hospital arrival. An ECG technician applied standard precordial and EASI electrodes in their correct positions. Twelve-lead ECGs were obtained from the paramedic-applied electrodes, using their Mason-Likar limb lead configuration, and derived from the EASI leads for comparison with the stdECG. Three computer-measured QRS-T waveform parameters were considered, and differences in waveform measurement between EASI and stdECG (EASIDeltastdECG) versus differences in waveform measurements between paramedic Mason-Likar and stdECG (PMLDeltastdECG) were calculated. Two physicians determined whether the EASI-derived or the paramedic Mason-Likar ECG contained information that would change their clinical triage decision from that indicated by the stdECG. RESULTS: EASIDeltastdECG and PMLDeltastdECG were identical in 28%, whereas EASIDeltastdECG was more than PMLDeltastdECG in 35%, and PMLDeltastdECG was accurate (both time) than EASIDeltastdECG in 37% (P = .62). The physicians were more likely to change the level of patient care based on the EASI-derived ECGs compared with the paramedic ECGs; however, this difference was not statistically significant (P = .27), but this may only be caused by the small study population. CONCLUSIONS: There are similar differences from stdECG waveforms in EASI-derived ECGs and those acquired via paramedic-applied precordial electrodes using Mason-Likar limb lead configuration. Either method can be used as a substitute for monitoring, but neither should be considered equivalent to the stdECG for diagnostic purposes. 相似文献
