Logistic regression and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC) were used to evaluate the influencing factors and diagnostic performance of PIVKA-Ⅱ for HCC, respectively.RESULTS Elevated PIVKA-Ⅱ levels were independently positively associated with alcohol-related liver disease, serum alkaline phosphatase(ALP), and total bilirubin(TBIL) for CLD patients and aspartate aminotransferase(AST) and tumor size for HCC patients(all P < 0.05). Serum PIVKA-Ⅱ were significantly lower in patients with viral etiology, ALP ≤ 1 × upper limit of normal(ULN), TBIL ≤ 1 × ULN, and AST ≤ 1 × ULN than in those with nonviral disease and abnormal ALP, TBIL, or AST(all P < 0.05), but the differences disappeared in patients with early-stage HCC. For patients with TBIL ≤ 1 × ULN, the AUC of PIVKA-Ⅱ was significantly higher compared to that in patients with TBIL > 1 × ULN(0.817 vs 0.669, P = 0.015), while the difference between ALP ≤ 1 × ULN and ALP > 1 × ULN was not statistically significant(0.783 vs 0.729, P = 0.398). These trends were then more prominently perceived in subgroups of patients with viral etiology and HBV alone.CONCLUSION Serum PIVKA-Ⅱ has better performance in detecting HCC at an early stage for CLD patients with normal serum TBIL.展开更多

Blood samples were obtained by intense sampling approach from 10 healthy volunteers and sparse sampling from 25 CHD patients, and a population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed by nonlinear mixed-effect modeling. The final model was evaluated by bootstrap and visual predictive check. A total of 230 plasma concentrations were included, 137 from healthy volunteers and 93 from CHD patients. It was a two-compartment model with first-order elimination. The typical value of the apparent clearance(CL) of STS in CHD patients with total bilirubin(TBIL) level of 10 μmol×L^(–1) was 48.7 L×h^(–1) with inter individual variability of 27.4%, whereas that in healthy volunteers with the same TBIL level was 63.1 L×h^(–1). Residual variability was described by a proportional error model and estimated at 5.2%. The CL of STS in CHD patients was lower than that in healthy volunteers and decreased when TBIL levels increased. The bootstrap and visual predictive check confirmed the stability and validity of the final model. These results suggested that STS dosage adjustment might be considered based on TBIL levels in CHD patients.展开更多
