Objective To investigate the effect of different cytopathological grading standards on the efficiency of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.Methods Related clinical data and pancreatic cytopathological results were collected from 256 patients with pancreatic space-occupying lesions who underwent EUS-FNA in The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from May 2011 to March 2019, and the influencing factors for the diagnostic efficiency of EUS-FNA were analyzed based on surgical pathology and follow-up results. The independent samples t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of different cytopathological grading standards in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.Results A total of 67 patients who were lost to follow-up were excluded, and a total of 189 patients were included in the study. According to the Papanicolaou cytopathological standard, there were 47 cases of heterotypic cells, 25 cases of suspected cancer cells, 20 cases of cancer cells, and 97 cases without tumor cells based on EUS-FNA. A total of 133 patients were confirmed to have pancreatic cancer by postoperative pathology and follow-up results, among whom 52 had no tumor cells, 36 had heterotypic cells, 25 had suspected cancer cells, and 20 had cancer cells based on cytopathological results. EUS-FNA had a true positive rate of 60.90% (81 patients) and a false negative rate of 39.10% (52 patients) in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer; for the 56 patients without pancreatic cancer, EUS-FNA had a false positive rate of 19.64% (11 patients) and a true negative rate of 80.36% (45 patients). EUS-FNA had an area under the ROC curve of 0.643 (95% confidence interval: 0.561-0.724) in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. In combination with different cytopathological grading standards and with the diagnostic criteria of "the identification of heterotypic cells or suspected cancer cells or cancer cells was considered positive", "the identification of suspected cancer cells or cancer cells was considered positive", and "the identification of cancer cells was considered positive", the results showed that the diagnostic criteria of "the identification of heterotypic cells or suspected cancer cells or cancer cells was considered positive" improved the efficiency of EUS-FNA in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, with a sensitivity of 50.38% and a specificity of 75.00%. Among the 189 patients, 13 (6.88%) experienced complications after EUS-FNA, which included hyperamylasemia and abdominal pain.Conclusion The combination of different cytopathological grading standards can help improve the efficiency of EUS-FNA in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)相关的慢加急性肝衰竭(acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure,ACHBLF)是在慢性HBV感染引起的CHB基础上出现的急性严重肝功能障碍临床综合征,病死率极高。因我国慢性HBV的高感染率,ACHBLF已成为影响患者生存质量的重要因素[1]。在CHB向ACHBLF进展过程中,存在着患者肝功能急剧恶化,但尚未达到肝衰竭的“肝衰竭前期(pre-ACHBLF)”阶段[2],如能在此阶段进行预警及干预,则有可能预防进一步发展为肝衰竭。
目前普遍认为细胞免疫功能紊乱是ACHBLF发生的病理机制之一,许多免疫细胞如髓系抑制性细胞(myeloid-derived suppressor cells, MDSC)、调节性T淋巴细胞(Treg)、分泌IL-17的CD4 T淋巴细胞(IL-17-producing CD4 T cells,Th17)和细胞毒性T淋巴细胞等在肝衰竭的发病中发挥重要作用[3-5]。尽管既往许多研究已证实肝衰竭发病与免疫密切相关,但pre-ACHBLF阶段的免疫状态及其与疾病进展的关系尚不清楚,因此本研究探讨了MDSC、Th17、Treg和分泌IL-17的CD8 T淋巴细胞(IL-17-producing CD8 T cells, Tc17)在pre-ACHBLF和ACHBLF患者中的表达,以期为ACHBLF的早期治疗提供思路。
