Changes of serum β2-MG, Cys C and urine mAlb levels in patients with ureteral calculi before and after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and their clinical significance

Objective:To investigate the changes of serumβ2 microglobulin(β2-MG),cystatin C(CysC)and urine microalbumin(mAlb)levels in patients with ureteral calculi before and after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and their clinical significance.Methods Sixty-eight patients with ureteral calculi admitted to the hospital between June 2018 and June 2019 were selected as the observation group.35 volunteers who received physical elimination in the hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.Levels ofβ2-MG,Cys C and urine mAlb in the observation group were compared before and after treatment,and compared with those in the control group.Changes in serumβ2-MG,Cys C and urine mAlb levels and renal function indicators[blood urea nitrogen(BUN),serum creatinine(SCr)]in patients with different prognosis in the observation group after treatment were analyzed.The value of serumβ2-MG,Cys C and urine mAlb levels in the diagnosis and treatment of ureteral calculi was analyzed with ROC curve.The correlations between serumβ2-MG,Cys C and urine mAlb levels and renal function indexes were analyzed.Results Serumβ2-MG,Cys C and urine mAlb levels in the observation group before treatment were significantly higher than those in the same group after treatment or those in the control group(P<0.05).Serumβ2-MG,Cys C and urine mAlb levels,BUN and SCr in patients with residual stones were significantly higher than those in patients without(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the sensitivity and the area under the curve of combined detection of serumβ2-MG,Cys C and urine mAlb levels for evaluating the curative effect of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy on ureteral calculi were significantly higher/larger than those of single detection of the three(P<0.05).Partial correlation analysis showed that serumβ2-MG,Cys C and urine mAlb levels were positively correlated with BUN and SCr(P<0.05).Conclusion There are obvious changes of serumβ2-MG,Cys C and urine mAlb levels in patients with ureteral calculi before and after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.The combined detection of the three indexes is helpful for the early diagnosis of ureteral calculi and the evaluation of renal function after lithotripsy.They can provide reference for protecting renal function in patients with ureteral calculi treated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.

The clinical significance evaluation of serum β_2-microglobulin for thyroid cancer patients

Objective： The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical value and relevance on the serum β2-microglobulin （β2-MG） of patients with thyroid cancer. Methods： One thousand and two normal cases, 95 thyroid cancer patients and 243 nodular goiter patients were selected to measure serum β2-MG levels using double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Results： The positive rate of 7.78% in normal population （78/1002） and 31.57% in thyroid cancer patients （30/95）. There were significant differences between the normal population and thyroid cancer patients （X2 = 55.352; P = 0.000）. The positive rate of 7.81% in nodular goiter patients （19/243） and there were no significant differences between the normal population and nodular goiter patients （X2 = 0.0004; P = 0.986）, but significant differences between nodular goiter patients and thyroid cancer patients （x2 = 31.106; P = 0.000）. Meanwhile, the significant difference of the positive rate existed in between the various pathological types of thyroid cancer （X2 = 10.015; P = 0.007）, anaplastic thyroid cancer patients with the highest positive rate and The significant difference was found between the positive lymph node metastasis groups and negative lymph node metastasis groups （x2 = 4.441; P = 0.035）, the presence of distant metastasis group and absence of distant metastasis group （X2 = 9.795; P = 0.002）. Conclusion： Serum β2-MG levels and prognosis of thyroid cancer patients was negatively correlated. It showed important clinical value to detect the level of β2-MG in the early diagnosis, prognosis and the clinical observation for thyroid cancer patients.

流行性出血热血BUN.Cr.β2—MG与尿β2—MG的检测意义

目的：探讨研究敏感反应肾脏损害的生化指标，早期发现并监测流行性出血热的肾脏损害状况。方法：对190例流行性出止热止BUN、Cr、β2—MG、尿β2—MG做同步检测。结果：发现血β2—MG浓度在发热期、休克期及少尿期均显著升高，尿β2—MG从发热期末升高至少尿期达高峰。结论：流行性出血热血β2—MG浓度各期变化与血BUN、Cr呈显著相关。

丹参多酚酸盐治疗老年糖尿病肾病的临床研究

目的通过研究丹参多酚酸盐对老年糖尿病肾病的疗效及对尿N-乙酰β-D-葡萄糖苷酶(NAG)、转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)、单核细胞趋化蛋白-1(MCP-1)的影响,探讨丹参多酚酸盐治疗糖尿病肾病的机制及糖尿病肾病发病过程中的关键因子。方法 90例糖尿病肾病患者随机分为2组,每组45例,对照组给予常规治疗,治疗组在对照组的基础上增加丹参多酚酸盐治疗,将200 mg注射用丹参多酚酸盐加入200 m L生理盐水中,静脉滴注,1次/d,4周为1个疗程。比较两组患者的疗效及NAG、尿微量白蛋白(m ALB)、β2-微球蛋白(β2-MG)、TGF-β1、MCP-1和生化指标的变化。结果治疗后对照组和治疗组的有效率分别为82.22%、91.11%,两组比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗后,两组的尿白蛋白排泄率(UAER)、肌酐(Cr)、血尿素氮(BUN)均较治疗前明显好转,且差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01);与对照组治疗后比较,治疗组的UAER、纤维蛋白原(FIB)明显改善,且差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。治疗后,两组的NAG、m ALB、β2-MG、TGF-β1和MCP-1均明显好转,与治疗前相比差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01);与对照组治疗后比较,治疗组的NAG、β2-MG、TGF-β1和MCP-1显著改善,且差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01),两组的m ALB差异不具有统计学意义。结论丹参多酚酸盐对糖尿病肾病的治疗作用主要通过调节TGF-β1和MCP-1水平、延缓近端肾小管损伤实现。
