简介:目的:通过测定糖尿病性白内障患者血清中糖代谢指标、胰岛素抵抗与房水和血清中炎症因子的水平,探讨其相关性。方法:随机选取我院2017-02/2018-01糖尿病性白内障患者69例(观察组)和白内障患者65例(对照组),检测两组患者血清中糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)、空腹血糖(FPG)、空腹胰岛素(FINS)的水平,计算胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR);同时检测房水和血清中的胰岛素样生长因子-1(IGF-1)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)含量,对HbA1c、HOMA-IR与房水和血清中IGF-1、IL-6含量进行相关性分析。结果:对照组血清中的FPG、HbA1c、HOMA-IR,以及房水和血清中IGF-1、IL-6含量显著低于观察组,差异有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。HbA1c与房水及血清中的IGF-1和IL-6均呈正相关(P<0.05)。HOMA-IR与房水及血清中的IGF-1和IL-6均呈正相关(P<0.05)。结论:糖尿病性白内障患者HbA1c、HOMA-IR与房水及血清中的IGF-1、IL-6含量具有相关性,通过对上述指标的测定可以辅助判断病情。
简介:目的:构建表达小鼠CD4+T细胞钙支架蛋白AHNAK1的短发夹RNA(shorthairpinRNA,shRNA)慢病毒载体,并研究其对小鼠甲状腺相关性眼病(thyroid-associatedophthalmopathy,TAO)的抑制效应。方法:设计并筛选对AHNAK1具有良好干扰效力的shRNA序列,慢病毒载体包装干扰序列,感染小鼠CD4+T细胞,检测AHNAK1静默对T细胞功能的抑制作用,采用实验动物模型观察AHNAK1体内抑制甲状腺相关性眼病的效果。结果:成功筛选出具有良好干扰效力的shRNA,并包装入慢病毒。病毒滴度为1.0伊106TU/mL,转染慢病毒的CD4+T细胞展现出失能倾向,抑制炎症免疫反应;在动物模型中抑制T细胞中AHNAK1表达可以有效控制甲状腺眼病的发生发展,显著降低治疗组T细胞中IL-2、IL-1茁和IFN-酌的表达。结论:成功构建了表达小鼠AHNAK1shRNA的慢病毒,具有抑制T细胞分泌IL-2、IL-1茁和IFN-酌的表达效应,能够有效抑制甲状腺眼病的发生发展。
简介:目的了解上海市普陀区4-7岁儿童阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(OSAHS)的患病率及相关危险因素,探讨问卷调查在筛选疑似病例中的价值。方法以班级为单位采取整群抽样的方法从上海市普陀区幼儿园及小学一年级中抽取4-7岁学生6000例,由学生家长填写问卷,再从中随机抽取无打鼾或轻微打鼾者10例,有频繁打鼾症状的儿童42例,行多导睡眠监测。结果实际调查人数5040(应答率为84.0%),有效问卷4045份(有效率为80.23%),按睡眠呼吸暂停低通气指数(AHI)≥5次/h、最低血氧饱和度(LSaO2)≤0.94为标准,根据多导睡眠监测结果,估算上海市4-7岁儿童OSAHS的患病率为3.91%。AHI与腺样体肥大相关性较强(偏相关系数为0.373);将问卷中打鼾、憋气、反复翻身、夜尿发生率等选项分配一个0-4分的数值,调查问卷得分与AHI呈正相关(r=0.518)。问卷中打鼾、张口呼吸选项的敏感度较高(95%、87%),特异性一般(67%、79%);憋气、憋醒选项敏感度一般(66%、29%),特异度较高(93%、100%);夜尿及反复翻身选项无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。结论上海市普陀区4-7岁儿童OSAHS的患病率估计为3.91%,腺样体肥大为患病主要原因;设计合理的调查问卷可用于初步筛选儿童OSAHS疑似病例,对早期诊断和治疗具有重要参考价值。
