To analyze the relationship between the expression level of phosphatase tensin homolog gene
( PTEN) and histone deacetylase 3 ( HDAC3) deleted on chromosome 10 and vascular cognitive impairment ( VCI) after
stroke. Methods From June 2019 to April 2021,126 stroke patients diagnosed and treated by the First Department of Neurology of Shijiazhuang People's Hospital were selected as the study subjects. According to whether the patients had VCI three
months after onset,they were divided into VCI group of 52 cases and non VCI group of 74 cases. Serum PTEN mRNA was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR ( qRT-PCR) ,and HDAC3 expression was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; Pearson rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the expression levels of PTEN
mRNA and HDAC3 in serum and the scores of NIHSS and MoCA; Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze
the influencing factors of VCI after stroke.Results The serum PTEN mRNA and HDAC3 levels in VCI group were higher than
those in non VCI group ( t /P = 17. 156 /< 0. 001,17. 904 /< 0. 001) . Compared the expression levels of PTEN mRNA and
HDAC3 in serum,the VCI group had severe cognitive impairment>moderate cognitive impairment>mild cognitive impairment
( F/P= 8.928 /<0.001,64.433 /<0.001) . The NIHSS score of VCI group was higher than that of non VCI group,and the MoCA score of visual space and executive power,naming,attention,language,abstraction,delayed recall,directional score and
total score was lower than that of non VCI group,with statistical significance ( t /P= 26.197 /<0.001,5.073 /<0.001,13.310 /
<0.001,11.432 /<0.001,19.058 /<0.001,20.211 /<0.001,6.138 /<0.001,3.586 /<0.001,16.511 /<0.001) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that the serum PTEN mRNA level in VCI group was significantly positively correlated with NIHSS
score,and significantly negatively correlated with MoCA score ( r = 0.713,-0.640,P<0.001) . The serum HDAC3 level was
significantly positively correlated with NIHSS score,and significantly negatively correlated with MoCA score ( r = 0.706,-0.
638,P<0.001) . Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension,high Hcy,high hs-CRP,high PTEN mRNA,high HDAC3 and high NIHSS score were independent risk factors for VCI after stroke[OR ( 95% CI) = 2.012 ( 1.087-3.
723) ,2.587 ( 1.533-4.366) ,1.902 ( 1.063-3.404) ,1.774 ( 1.169-2.693) ,2.384 ( 1.391-4.087) ,2.895 ( 1.164-7.
202) ].Conclusion The high expression of PTEN mRNA and HDAC3 in serum is closely related to stroke complicated with
VCI. Both of them are risk factors for stroke patients to develop VCI

To investigate the predictive value of serum α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone ( α-MSH) and
monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 ( MCP-1) in the early assessment and prognosis of acute pancreatitis ( AP) severity.Methods From December 2019 to December 2021,117 patients with AP were diagnosed and treated in the Emergency Department
of Hefei Second People's Hospital /Hefei Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University. They were divided into mild pancreatitis ( MAP) 45 cases,moderate There were 38 cases of severe pancreatitis ( MSAP) and 34 cases of severe pancreatitis
( SAP) ,and they were divided into a death group of 11 cases and a survival group of 106 cases according to the death situation
within 28 days. The levels of serum-α MSH and MCP-1 in AS patients with different severity and different prognosis were detected and compared,the correlation between serum α-MSH and MCP-1 and the severity was analyzed by Spearman,the influencing factors of the prognosis of AS patients,and receiver operating characteristic curve were analyzed by Logistic regression.
( ROC) analysis of the predictive value of serum α-MSH and MCP-1 on the prognosis of AS patients.Results The proportion
of pleural effusion and SAP on the day of admission in the death group were higher than those in the survival group ( χ2 /P= 4.
193 /0.041,2.691 /0.007) .Serum level of α-MSH in death group was lower than survial group,and MCP-1 was higher than
survival group ( t /P= 12. 072 /< 0. 001,6. 390 /< 0. 001) ; serum α-MSH levels were compared,MAP >MSAP >SAP,while
MCP-1 levels were compared,MAP<MSAP<SAP ( F/P= 261.462 /<0.001,128.199 /<0.001) . According to Spearman correlation analysis,serum α-MSH level was negatively correlated with AP severity ( r = -0.415,P = 0.021) ,and MCP-1 was
positively correlated with AP severity ( r = 0.520,P = 0.017) . Logistic regression analysis showed that pleural effusion on the
day of admission,more severe disease severity,low serum α-MSH,and high MCP-1 were risk factors for the prognosis of AP
patients [OR( 95%CI) = 4.768( 2.075-10.959) ,4.162 ( 1.811-9.565) ,3.747 ( 1.630-8.612) ,4.289 ( 1.866-9.857) ].
The AUCs of serum α-MSH,MCP-1 and their combination in predicting the prognosis of AP patients were 0.843,0.880,and
0.956,and the combined effect of the two in predicting the prognosis of AP patients was better than single prediction( Z = 2.
495,1.981,P= 0.029,0.047) .Conclusion Serum α-MSH and MCP-1 levels are closely related to the severity of AP,and
have certain predictive value for prognosis.

To analyze the relationship between serum cystatin C ( CysC) ,monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 ( MCP-1) and the treatment effect of febuxostat in patients with hyperuricemia.Methods From December 2018 to December 2021,102 patients with hyperuricemia who were admitted to the General Medicine Department of Minhang Hospital
Affiliated to Fudan University were selected as the research subjects. The patients all received general treatment and febuxostat
treatment. The patients' blood uric acid ( BUA) compliance was divided into the treatment effective group of 82 cases and the
ineffective group of 20 cases. Serum CysC,MCP-1 levels and renal function indexes[serum creatinine ( SCr) ,blood urea nitrogen ( BUN) ,BUA]were detected before and after treatment. Logistic regression analysis of the relationship between serum
CysC,MCP-1 and the treatment effect of febuxostat in patients with hyperuricemia. The receiver operating characteristic curve
( ROC) was used to test the predictive efficacy of serum CysC and MCP-1 on the ineffectiveness of febuxostat in patients with
hyperuricemia,and a decision curve was drawn to analyze its net return. Results After 3 months of treatment,20 of 102 patients with hyperuricemia failed to reach the BUA standard,and the treatment ineffective rate was 19.61%. The duration of hyperuricemia and the proportion of patients with chronic kidney disease ( CKD) stage 3a in the ineffective group were higher
than those in the effective group [t( χ2
) /P= 3.194 /0.002,2.723 /0.007]. Before treatment,the serum levels of SCr,BUN,
BUA,CysC and MCP-1 in the ineffective group were higher than those in the effective group ( t /P = 2.380 /0.019,2.047 /0.
043,3.838 /<0.001,4.539 /<0.001,5.020 /<0.001) . Logistic regression analysis showed that the overexpression of serum
BUA,CysC and MCP-1 were the risk factors for ineffective treatment of febuxostat in patients with hyperuricemia [OR ( 95%
CI) = 1.060 ( 1.019-1.103) ,2.071 ( 1.189-3.068) ,1.055 ( 1.022-1.088) ].ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under
the curve ( AUC) of serum CysC,MCP-1 and their combination in predicting the ineffectiveness of febuxostat in patients with
hyperuricemia were 0.794,0.791,and 0.803,respectively. ROC showed that the combined prediction of serum CysC and
MCP-1 in patients with hyperuricemia was higher than that of single index detection. Conclusion Serum CysC and MCP-1
overexpression is associated with ineffective treatment of febuxostat in patients with hyperuricemia. Combined detection of
serum CysC and MCP-1 levels can be used to predict the risk of ineffective treatment of hyperuricemia
