Objective To investigate the correlation between cervical Modic change (MC) and blood lipid and glucose levels. Methods Patients hospitalized with neck and shoulder pain in the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College between January 2015 and January 2021 were selected and divided into MC group and non-MC group according to whether the signal changes of cervical vertebral endplate occurred on MRI. The general data (age, gender, smoking history, drinking history), blood lipid indicators (high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, lipoprotein a, total cholesterol, triglyceride) and blood glucose indicators (glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose) were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the correlation between MC and various indicators. Results A total of 160 patients were included, including 48 patients in MC group and 112 patients in non-MC group. The age [(61.46±12.10) vs. (56.22±10.65) years], total cholesterol [(5.06±1.17) vs. (4.44±1.31) mmol/L], triglyceride [(1.61±0.64) vs. (1.38±0.58) mmol/L], glycosylated hemoglobin (6.78%±1.27% vs. 5.79%±0.85%), and fasting blood glucose [(7.84±1.51) vs. (6.93±1.47) mmol/L] of the patients in MC group were significantly higher than those in non-MC group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gender, smoking ratio, drinking ratio, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein or lipoprotein a between the two groups (P>0.05). Logistic regression analysisshowed that age [odds ratio (OR)=1.064, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.022, 1.109), P=0.003], total cholesterol [OR=1.788, 95%CI (1.187, 2.694), P=0.005], triglyceride [OR=2.624, 95%CI (1.257, 5.479), P=0.010] and glycosylated hemoglobin [OR=4.942, 95%CI (2.446, 9.987), P<0.001] were risk factors of cervical MC. Conclusions Age, total cholesterol, triglyceride and glycosylated hemoglobin are risk factors of cervical MC. Elderly patients with hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia should be alert to the occurrence of cervical MC. Controlling the levels of blood lipid and glucose may reduce the risk of cervical MC.

Methods A total of 192 senile people form May 2008 to October 2009 were investigated. There were 141 patients with diabetes, in whom 68 were with cardiovascular and cor, cerebrovascular diseases, 73 were with diabetes only.There were 51 control subjects. The data of serum cystatin C, hs-CRP, TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C were analyzed. Results Serum cystatin C of elderly men was lower than that in elderly women, but no signifcant correlation between them was found (Pgt;0.05). Serum cystatin C, hs-CRP, TC, TG and LDL-C was higher, and HDL-C was lower in male and female diabetes subjects with cardiovascular and cor, cerebrovascullar diseases, than that in control subjects (Plt;0.05). Serum hs-CRP, TC and TG were higher in the elderly with diabetes only, than that in control subjects (Plt;0.05). LDL-C was higher in senile women with diabetes only, than that in female control subjects (Plt;0.05). Serum cystatin C with LDL-C in elderly women with diabetes only, with FPG in female diabetes subjects with cardiovascular and cor, cerebrovascular diseases had position correlation (Plt;0.05). No correlation were observed between serum cystatin C and hs-CRP in male and female diabetes subjects, and lipid in male diabetes subjects. Conclusions We speculate that high serum lipid, high glucose and low level of inflammation may result in increasing of serum cystatin C in senily people with diabetes. The influence of serum lipid on serum cystatin C may be different in male and female senile people.Along with atherosclerotic aggravating, the level of serum cystatin C was increasing.
Objective To investigate the long-term dynamic changes of liver function and glucose-lipid metabolism in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) after antiretroviral therapy (ART). Methods HIV-infected patients who visited Public Health Clinical Center of Chengdu between October 1st, 2012 and June 30th, 2013 were recruited and divided into two groups according to whether they had MAFLD or not. All of them were treated with the first-line regimen of tenofovir + lamivudine + efavirenz for 156 weeks, and the anthropometric indices, liver function, and levels of glucose, lipids and uric acid were measured at baseline and at each follow-up time point. In addition, the long-term dynamic characteristics of liver function and glucose and lipid metabolism parameters of the two groups were compared during the 156 weeks of ART treatment. Results A total of 61 male HIV-infected patients were enrolled. The prevalence of MAFLD in them was 31.1% (19/61) at baseline and increased by 4.9 percentage points per year after ART. Before the start of follow-up (week 0), the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) [(46.23±27.09) vs. (28.00±17.43) U/L, P=0.002] and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) [(41.46±9.89) vs. (24.02±10.72) U/L, P<0.001] were higher in the MAFLD group than those in the non-MAFLD group, while the between-group differences in the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) [(33.33±15.61) vs. (28.98±12.43) U/L, P=0.248] and alkaline phosphatase [(85.30±21.27) vs. (83.41±24.47) U/L, P=0.773] were not statistically significant. During the 156-week follow-up period, the 4 items of liver function gradually increased in the MAFLD group, especially from week 120 onwards, 3 of which (ALT, AST and GGT) were significantly higher than those in the non-MAFLD group (P<0.05). In addition, the levels of fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein were also significantly higher in the MAFLD group than those in the non-MAFLD group at some time points during the 156-week follow-up period (P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with HIV-infected patients without MAFLD, HIV-infected patients with MAFLD are more likely to develop impaired liver function and disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism during long-term tenofovir + lamivudine + efavirenz regimen ART treatment. Therefore, close clinical monitoring of liver function and glucose and lipid metabolism related parameters is required for such patients.
Objective To analyze the clinical features， common etiologies， prevention measurements of recurrent acute pancreatitis （AP）. Methods The clinical characteristics and imaging examination data of 43 patients with recurrent AP were analyzed retrospectively， which was compared with the results of 258 patients with primary AP. The recurrence etiologies were analyzed. Results There were no significant differences on the fever， jaundice， abdominal pain relief time， pancreatic local complications， and ratio of severe AP between two groups （P＞0.05）. Comparion of etiologies between recurrent AP and primary AP， cholecystitis and diet factor （alcoholic） had priority in patients with primary AP （P=0.038， P=0.006， respectively）， but the hyperlipidemic， duodenal nipple disease， and small stone in the common bile duct were the major etiologies in patients with recurrent AP （P=0.007， P=0.008， respectively）. No relapse was found within the follow up for 3 months to 2 years （the average time was 14.2 months）. Conclusion Find out the exact etiology and performe correct therapy are the key to the treatment and prevention of recurrent AP.
Objective To analyze the effects of hyperuricemia (HUA) on the prevalence of dyslipidemia in the elderly. MethodsA total of 5 990 elderly people with complete and important variables from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) public database in 2015 were extracted. Their blood lipids, related physiological and biochemical indices, and basic demographic information were collected. The effects of HUA on the prevalence of dyslipidemia in the elderly were analyzed using the probit model, and empirical analysis was performed using the propensity score matching method (PSM). Results Among the 5 990 subjects, 13.6% of the elderly had HUA and the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 37.5%. After correcting the endogeneity among variables, the probability of dyslipidemia in elderly patients with HUA increased by 9.5%-11.7% (P<0.01), in which the probability of high triglyceridemia (TG), high total cholesterol (TC), high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) increased by 10.4%-11.5% (P<0.01), 2.7%-3.8% (P<0.01), 1.7%-2.3% (P<0.05), and 4.3%-4.9% (P<0.05), respectively. Conclusion HUA is associated with various types of dyslipidemia, among which its relationship with high TG and low HDL-C is strong. Targeted interventions should be taken for elderly HUA patients, aiming to reduce the rate of dyslipidemia and promote the goal of "healthy ageing" in China.
Objective
This study aimed to explore the relationship between serum lipid and lipoprotein levels and occurrence of breast cancer, and relationship between serum lipid and lipoprotein levels and clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients.
Methods
Clinical data of 788 patients with breast cancer and 395 patients with benign breast disease were retrospectively collected, who received treatment in The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2014 to March 2016, and to explore the relationship between levels of total cholesterol (TC)/triglyceride (TG)/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c)/low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) and occurrence of breast cancer/ clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients.
Results
① Influencing factors that affected the occurrence of breast cancer: multifactor logistic analysis showed that, height (OR=0.950, P=0.006), body mass index (OR=1.062, P=0.041), and serum LDL-c level (OR=1.349, P=0.016) were independent influencing factors for occurrence of breast cancer, people had high body mass index and higher level of serum LDL-c had high risk of breast cancer, but people had high height had low risk of breast cancer. ②Association analysis of serum lipid and lipoprotein levels and clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients: the serum TC level was correlated with expression of progesteronereceptors (PR) and lymph node metastasis status (P<0.05), the serum TC levels of patients with negative-expression of PR and lymph node metastasis were slightly higher than that of patients with positive-expression of PR and non-lymph node metastasis; the serum TG level was associated with body mass index (P<0.05), that the serum TG level of patients with body mass index≥25 kg/m2was slightly higher than that of patients with body mass index<25 kg/m2; the serum HDL-c level was correlated with the body mass index and diameter of the tumor (P<0.05), the serum HDL-c level of the patients with body mass index≥25 kg/m2 was slightly lower than that of patients with body mass index<25 kg/m2, the serum HDL-c level of patients with the tumor diameter≤2 cm was slightly higher than that of patients with the tumor diameter >2 cm; the serum LDL-c level was correlated with body mass index, expression of estrogenreceptors (ER) and PR, and molecular typing ( P<0.05), the serum LDL-c level was slightly higher in patients with body mass index≥25 kg/m2, negative expression of ER and PR, and non Luminal type patients, comparing with patients with body mass index<25 kg/m2, positive expression of ER and PR, and Luminal type patients.
Conclusions
High level of serum LDL-c is strongly associated with occurrence of breast cancer, and levels of serum lipid and lipoprotein are associated with expression of hormone receptor, molecular type of breast cancer, and status of lymph node, but it needs further randomized controlled studies to confirm.
