Platelet aggregation test (PAgT), platelet adhesion test (PAdT), thromboplastic activity of factor Ⅷ (FⅧ∶c), antithrombin Ⅲ activity (AT-Ⅲ∶a), antithrombin Ⅲ antigen (AT-Ⅲ∶Ag), von willebrand factor (vWF) and fibrinogen (Fg) were measured in 33 patients with biliary tract diseases and 24 normal individuals. The results showed that there was no significant difference in PAgT, PAdT, AT-Ⅲ∶a and AT-Ⅲ∶Ag between the two groups (Ｐ＞0.05). Fg increased more significantly in biliary tract disease than in the controls (Ｐ＜0.01). FⅧ∶c increased more significantly in patients with obstructive jaundice than in that of nonjaundiced and the controls (Ｐ＜0.01). The levels of vWF increased higher and higher in the sequence of patients with no jaundice, obstructive jaundice due to benign diseases and obstructive jaundice due to malignancy(Ｐ＜0.01). In conclusion, Fg, FⅧ∶c and vWF increased in patients with biliary tract disease.
【摘要】 目的 探讨血栓性血小板减少性紫癜（thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura，TTP）患者血管内皮损伤程度，以及不同类型TTP之间血管内皮损伤差异性。 方法 纳入2005年4月-2010年12月特发性TTP患者17例（A组），继发性TTP患者15例（B组），骨髓移植相关TTP患者2例（C组），疑似TTP患者11例（D组），共45例；另选取健康体检志愿者为对照组10例（E组）。采用双夹心酶联免疫吸附试验测定血管性血友病因子前肽（von Willebrand factor propeptide，vWFpp）水平。 结果 vWFpp水平为其与正常混合血浆的比值， A组为2.2，B组为2.34，C组为2.795，D组为1.72，E组为1.08。A、B、C、D组患者vWFpp水平与E组比较，差异有统计学意义（Plt;0.05），A、B、C、D组间比较，差异无统计学意义（Pgt;0.05）。 结论 TTP患者vWFpp水平明显增高，提示血管内皮损伤明显，但vWFpp水平不能用于鉴别TTP类型。【Abstract】 Objective To explore the severity of endothelium injury in patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and the differences among different subtypes of TTP. Methods The clinical data of 45 patients with TTP diagnosed between April 2005 and December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. von Willebrand factor propeptide (vWFpp) was measured by sandwich ELISA in 17 patients with idiopathic TTP (group A), 15 patients with secondary TTP (group B), 2 patients with transplantation associated TTP (group C), 11 patients with suspected TTP (group D) and 10 control healthy volunteers (group E). Results Median times of vWFpp of the five groups were 2.2, 2.34, 2.795, 1.72, and 1.08 respectively. Plasma vWFpp levels of the first four groups didn′t differ much between each other (Plt;0.05), but the differences were significant compared with the data in the control group (Pgt;0.05). Conclusions Significantly increased vWFpp level in patients with TTP indicates obvious endothelium injury. Nevertheless, it could not be used to differentiate TTP types.
ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and risk factors of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). MethodsOne hundred and eight patients with acute exacerbation of COPD admitted between March 2009 and September 2010 were consecutively included.On admission,color Doppler ultrasound examination of lower extremities was performed for diagnosing DVT in all cases.The patients with DVT were compared with those without DVT in demographics,symptoms,physical signs,risk factors and laboratory examination including Ⅷ factor and von Willebrand factor (VWF). ResultsAmong 108 patients with acute exacerbation of COPD,DVT was detected in 11 cases (10.1%).In the COPD patients with DVT,the duration of hospitalization was longer (P<0.001) and the mechanical ventilation requirement increased (P=0.024) compared those without DVT.Other indicators for more possibility of DVT were immobility over 3 days (P=0.001),pneumonia as concomitance (P=0.004),type Ⅱ respiratory failure (P=0.011),and current smoking (P=0.002).The plasma leukocytes,D-dimer and Ⅷ factor levels were significantly higher in the COPD patients with DVT than those without DVT (P=0.005;P<0.001;P=0.009). ConclusionThe incidence of DVT in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD is 10.1%.The prevalence of DVT is higher in distal extremities than that in proximal,especially the intermuscular veins.The patients with acute exacerbation of COPD have a higher risk of DVT when immobilized over 3 days,complicated by pneumonia or type Ⅱ respiratory failure,and having a high levels of plasma leukocytes,D-dimer and Ⅷ factor.
ObjectiveTo collect and analyze the clinical data and quality of life of hemophilic children, understand the present condition of these patients in Sichuan Province, and analyze related influencing factors. MethodWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of hemophilic children treated in our hospital from January 1, 2008 to May 30, 2015. ResultsThere were 92 child patients from Sichuan Province with a median age of 9.6 years old (ranging from 3.6 to 18.0). There were 87 cases (94.6%) of hemophilia A and 5 (5.4%) of hemophilia B; the number of light cases was 4 (4.3%), of moderate cases was 67 (72.8%), and of severe cases was 21 (22.9%); eighteen (19.6) of the patients had family history. First bleeding episode occurred at a median age of 11 months (0-48 months). Mild bleeding occurred in 23 cases (25.0%), moderate bleeding in 31 cases (33.7%), and severe bleeding in 38 cases (41.3%). First bleeding site was mainly the mucous membrane of the skin, followed by the joint muscles. Fist joint bleeding occurred at a median age of 18 months (2-107 months). Forty-six patients (59.0%) had severe joint damage during the course of the disease. Intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 4 patients (4.3%), among whom 3 were cured and discharged from the hospital, and 1 had neurological sequelae. Median diagnostic age was 12 months (0-120 months). Sixty-two (67.4%) were diagnosed in a short period of time, 9 (9.8%) in a mediate period of time, and 21 (22.8%) in a long period of time. Forty (43.5%) of the patients had been given sufficient coagulation factors, while all the others had not received sufficient replacement therapy. Fifty-six (60.9%) children had received prophylactic treatment. First prophylaxis was administrated at a median age of 36 months (1-199 months), but 27 (48.2%) discontinued. The median score of the 29 retreated Disease Burden Scale was 22.7±11.6 (4-43), and among them, 11 (37.9%) could not care for themselves. Twenty-three participated in the assessment of social activity ability, among whom, 2 did not attend school, and 6 could not take part in the assessment because of school learning. Correlation analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between diagnostic timing and family history (P=0.795) or between diagnostic timing and areas they came from (P=0.495). However, significant association was found between diagnostic timing and the severity of first bleeding (r=0.392, P=0.035). Disease burden of family was significantly correlated with the number of target joints (r=0.370, P=0.048), and was not closely related with area, severity of bleeding, frequency of hemorrhage, medical insurance, or physical and social activities. ConclusionsThe general diagnosis and treatment condition of child hemophilia in Sichuan is relatively under-developed with a high prevalence of joint damage, poor quality of life, and high disease burden to the family. Improvement in the care of hemophilia children is urgently needed.
Objective To investigate whether the sleep-induced hypoxemia ( SIH) at different time and different level have different effects on pulmonary emphysema and coagulation systemfunction in the rats with pulmonary emphysema. Methods Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups( n = 10 in each group) . All rats were exposed to cigarette smoke twice a day ( 30 min each time) . From29th day on, the rats in Group A ( pulmonary emphysema with short SIH) were also exposed to mixed gas of 12. 5% oxygen for 1. 5 hours during sleeping time every day ( the expose time was divided into 4 periods, 22. 5 min each) . The rats in Group B ( pulmonary emphysema with mild SIH) were also exposed to mixed gas of 15% oxygen for three hours during sleeping time every day( the expose time was divided into 4 periods, 45 min each) . The rats in Group C( pulmonary emphysema with standard SIH) were also exposed to mixed gas of 12. 5% oxygen for three hours during sleeping time every day( the expose time was divided into 4 periods,45 min each) . After continuous exposure for 56 days, the rats were sacrificed. Semi-quantitative image analytic method was employed for histopathological analysis including pathological score of lungs, mean linear intercept ( MLI) and mean alveolus number( MAN) . ATⅢ, FIB, vWF, FⅧ were measured. Results All animals in three groups manifested the histopathological features of emphysema. Pathological scores of lungs and MLI of every group were significantly different from each other( F = 21. 907, F = 18. 415, all P lt; 0. 05) , Group A [ ( 61. 90 ±4. 25) % , ( 92. 45 ±1. 78) μm] and Group B[ ( 64. 60 ±3. 95) % , ( 92. 80 ±3. 65) μm] were significantly lower than Group C[ ( 73. 30 ±3. 86) % , ( 99. 32 ±2. 81) μm, q= 8. 96, q =6. 84, q = 12. 64, q =9. 65, all P lt; 0. 05] . Levels of FIB were significantly different among three groups ( F = 20. 592, P lt; 0. 05) while FIB in Group A[ ( 189. 98 ±5. 29) mg/ dL] and Group B[ ( 182. 70 ±2. 78) mg /dL] were significantly lower than that in Group C[ ( 198. 40 ±7. 37) mg/ dL, q = 4. 86, q= 9. 07, all P lt; 0. 05] , and FIB in Group A was significantly higher than that in Group B( q = 4. 20, P lt; 0. 05) . Levels of FⅧ were significantly different from each other( F = 33. 652, P lt;0. 05) while FⅧ in Group A[ ( 232. 26 ±4. 17) % ]and Group B[ ( 242. 53 ±14. 50) % ] were significantly lower than that in Group C[ ( 303. 25 ±32. 93) % ,q= 10. 73, q = 9. 18, all P lt; 0. 05] . Conclusions Pulmonary emphysema and hypercoagulable states increases with time and severity of SIH in rats with pulmonary emphysema. The elevated activity of blood coagulation factor may be a critical role in the hypercoagulable states.
