Methods: Subjects who received medical examination in physical examination center of west China hospital were screened in this study. The information of height, body weight, blood pressure, serum ALT, fasting plasma glucose, highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol, lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) statue, fatty liver and cholelithiasis were collected and analyzed. 〖WT5”HZ〗Results:〖WT5”BZ〗 A total of 8734 cases were included in this study. The total prevalence of elevated ALT was observed in 1011%, including 137% in man and 63% in woman, and this difference between man and woman was statistic significant (P＜0001). The mean age of ALT elevated group was obvious lower than that of normal ALT group (P＜0001). Interesting, the occurrence rates of fatty liver, hyperlipidemia, obesity, diabetes,gallstones, drinking and positive hepatitis B surface antigen in ALT elevated group were all significant higher than that in normal ALT group (P＜005). Conclusion: Fatty liver, glyeolipid metabolism disorder, and hepatitis B were main reasons of elevated ALT. Male and young cases were both high risk of elevated ALT in this study.

Objective To explore the relationship between different diagnostic criteria (ATPIII2002, IDF2005 and CDS2007 criteria) for metabolic syndrome (MS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods A total of 666 elderly males admitted to West China Hospital for routine physical examination were involved in this study in May, 2010. The diagnostic agreement rates of different criteria were compared, along with the relationship between different diagnostic criteria for MS and NALFD. Results The diagnostic agreement of CDS2007 criteria with either IDF2005 or ATPIII2002 criteria was good. However, the agreement of ATPIII2002 with IDF2005 was compromised. The prevalence of NAFLD in MS group was significantly higher than that of non-MS group (Plt;0.01). On the basis of CDS2007 criteria, there was significant correlation between NAFLD and MS (Plt;0.000). Conclusion There is a close relation between NAFLD and all three diagnostic criteria of MS. NAFLD is one of the most important risk factors of MS. The diagnostic agreement of CDS2007 criteria with the other two is good, and there is significant correlation between NAFLD and criteria CDS2007 of MS. CDS2007 is found to be of high accuracy and applicability in the diagnosis of MS in Chinese population including the elderly.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) imaging, by which to quantitatively analyze liver fat content for therapeutic evaluation of fatty liver at 3.0 T MRI. MethodsTwenty-six patients who diagnosed with fatty liver were examined with proton MRS at Siemens Trio Tim 3.0 T MRI before treatment and 3, 6 months after treatment, respectively. The water peak, fat peak, water peak area, and fat peak area were detected, and the relative lipid content 1 (RLC1) and relative lipid content 2 (RLC2)were calculated. Fatty liver index (FLI) was referred to the standard which was calculated from triglycerides (TG), gammaglutamyl-transferase (GGT), waist circumference, and body mass index. ResultsThere were significantly different differences of RLC1 and RLC2 among before treatment and 3, 6 months after treatment (Plt;0.05). Compared with before treatment, the RLC1 and RLC2 values significantly decreased on month 3 or 6 after treatment (Plt;0.05). There were positive correlation between RLC1 or RLC2 and FLI (r=0.476, Plt;0.00; r=0.475, Plt;0.001). The intraclass correlation coefficient was more than 0.75 before treatment, the repeatability was better. ConclusionsProton MRS can quantitatively measure liver fat content. It can be reliably used for dynamic monitoring the therapeutic effects for fatty liver. Proton MRS is accurate, and has a good clinical application in dynamically monitoring the progression of fatty liver and evaluating the therapeutic effects of various treatments.
ObjectiveTo expounded the relationship between phenylalanine, tyrosine and their metabolites and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). MethodThe literatures related to NAFLD in recent years were reviewed and analyzed. ResultThe levels of phenylalanine, tyrosine and their metabolites had changed significantly in the occurrence and development of NAFLD, and could lead to the progress of NAFLD by affecting the related pathways of lipid metabolism. ConclusionPhenylalanine, tyrosine and their related metabolites are associated with NAFLD, but the specific pathogenesis is still unclear.
ObjectiveTo observe the changes in body mass index (BMI) among male patients aged between 20 and 30 years with fatty liver disease after they undergo an exercise-based weight loss program, this study will map the trajectory of BMI changes and analyze the association between different BMI change trajectories and the degree of insulin resistance.MethodsA total of 148 male patients with fatty liver disease aged 20–30 years who underwent physical examination at the Southern Medical Branch of PLA General Hospital from June 2024 to August 2024 were prospectively enrolled as research subjects. Based on the data of changes in BMI of the patients at baseline, 1, 2 and 3 months after exercise, a growth mixture model (GMM) was used to construct a BMI change trajectory model. Repeated-measures analysis of variance was performed to analyze the levels of homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) among patients with different BMI change trajectories. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the association between the BMI change trajectory and HOMA-IR level. ResultsResults of GMM indicated that when three classes were constructed, the model had an entropy value closer to 1, along with smaller values of the Akaike information criterion and Bayesian information criterion. The three classes were named the slow weight loss group, regular weight loss group, and rapid weight loss group, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in uncertain psychological stress scores, sleep quality scores, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting plasma glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and fatty liver severity among patients with different BMI change trajectories (all P<0.05). Repeated-measures analysis of variance showed that the time effect, intergroup effect, and interaction effect of HOMA-IR among the three groups were all statistically significant (Ftime=3.990, Ptime=0.027; Fgroup=8.880, Pgoup<0.001; Finteraction=5.046, Pinteraction=0.002). These results indicated that HOMA-IR level increased over time, and the impact of the time factor on HOMA-IR varied depending on different BMI change trajectories. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the HOMA-IR levels were significantly lower in both the regular weight loss group (β=?0.237, P=0.001) and the rapid weight loss group (β=?0.386, P<0.001) compared with the slow weight loss group. ConclusionIn male patients with fatty liver disease aged 20–30 years, there are different trajectories of BMI changes after exercise-induced weight loss, which are associated with insulin resistance.
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy （1 H-MRS） on the quantification of hepatic steatosis at 3.0 T MR united.Methods Twenty-two patients who were candidated for liver surgery (living liver transplantation donor candidates, lobectomy or segmental resection for focal liver diseases, etc.) were enrolled in this study. 1 H-MRS was conducted with point resolved selective spectroscopy （PRESS） sequence, using SAGE software packages. The values of water peak (PW), lipid peak (PL) were measured, the area under water peak (AW) and lipid peak (AL), and then the relative lipid content of liver cells (RLC1, RLC2) was calculated. All subjects underwent surgical resection of liver shortly after MR scanning, fresh frozen specimens were obtained for Sudan Ⅲ staining, and staging was conducted.Results In all 22 patients, 7 patients without fatty liver, 11 patients with mild fatty liver, 4 patients with moderate or severe fatty liver. Intercomparison between different histopathological grades showed following findings: the values of PL, AL, RLC1 and RLC2 had statistical significance (Plt;0.05). The values of PL， AL， RLC1 and RLC2 were positively correlated with the proportion of fatty degenerative cells (PFDC), Plt;0.05, and the highest correlation factor was 0.771 (RLC1 to the PFDC).Conclusion 1 H-MRS can accurately quantify liver fat content and reflect the severity of hepatic steatosis. It has the potential to replace invasive liver biopsy.
