Journal of clinical internal medicine,2019,36(9): 592-596.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-9057.2019.09.005
Abstract ( 350 )   PDF (331KB) ( 207 )  
Objective To investigate the current situation of clinical and imaging remission in patients with axial spondyloarthritis(axSpA) and analyze relevant impacted factors.Methods According to past treatment programs,ankylosing spondylitis disease activity scores based on C-reactive protein(CRP)(ASDAScrp)and Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada(SPARCC) scores,233 patientswith axSpA were divided into different groups respectively.Clinical data of each group were compared.Risk factors for clinical and imaging remission were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results Rate of clinical remission was 25.3% in patients with axSpA.Rate of imaging nonremission in clinical standard group(32.2%) was lower than that in clinical nonstandard group(56.3%,P<0.05).CRP in clinical standard group was lower than that in clinical nonstandard group,and ratio of patients receiving anti-tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α treatment was higher than that in clinical non-standard group(P<0.05).ASDAScrp in imaging remission group was lower than that in imaging non-remission group,and ratio of patients receiving anti-TNF-α treatment was higher than that in imaging non-remission group(P<0.05).Rate of clinical standard and imaging remission in non-standard treatment group were lower than those in anti-TNF-α treatment group(P<0.05).Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that CRP rise was risk factor for clinical non-remission in axSpA(P<0.001),while ASDAScrp rise was risk factor for imaging non-remission(P<0.05).Anti-TNF-α treatment was protective factor for both clinical and imaging remission(P<0.05).Conclusion Rate of clinical remission in axSpA is still low.CRP and ASDAScrp rise are risk factors for clinical and imaging non-remission in axSpA respectively,while anti-TNF-α treatment can promote clinical and imaging remission.

Value of inflammatory factors combined with Ranson scores in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis and guiding clinical treatment
Journal of clinical internal medicine,2019,36(9): 597-600.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-9057.2019.09.006
Abstract ( 295 )   PDF (361KB) ( 273 )  
Objective To analyze the value of inflammatory factors combined with Ranson scores in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis(AP) and guiding clinical treatment.Methods According to the 2012 Atlanta standard,150 AP patients were divided into mild group (n=50),moderate group(n=50) and severe group(n=50).Serum inflammatory factors [interleukin(IL)-6,procalcitonin (PCT),C-reactive protein(CRP),IL-8,IL-10] levels,Ranson scores in 3 groups were compared and the mortality rate of each group was counted.Draw the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.The area under the ROC(AUC) of each index was calculated and and the value of each index to assess organ failure and mortality rate was compared.Results PCT,IL-6 and CRP increased gradually at 12h,24h,48h in the three groups,and PCT,IL-6 and CRP increased gradually with the severity of the disease(P<0.05).The IL-10 levels in the three groups were higher at 24h than those at 12h,but the IL-10 levels were lower at 48h than those at 24h(P<0.05).The Ranson scores of the light,moderate and severe groups showed an increasing trend with the increase of the severity of the disease(P<0.05).The mortality rate of severe group was higher than that of mild group(0) and moderate group(2.0%,P<0.05).Among the serum inflammatory factors,the AUCs of IL-6 to evaluate organ failure and mortality rate were larger than that of PCT and CRP.The AUC of CRP to evalute pancreatic necrosis was larger than that of PCT and IL-6.The AUCs of Ranson scores to evaluate organ failure and fatality rate were larger than that of PCT,IL-6 and CRP.The AUCs of PCT+IL-6+CRP+Ranson scores to evaluate organ failure,pancreatic necrosis and fatality rate were larger than those of Ranson score and any serum inflammatory factor.Conclusion IL-6 has higher predictive value for organ failure and mortality rate in AP patients,and CRP has higher predicitvie value for pancreatic necrosis.The combination of PCT,IL-6,CRP and Ranson scores can further improve the predictive ability of organ failure,pancreatic necrosis and mortality rate,which provides a reference for the selection of clinical treatment strategies.
