Objective:To investigate the correlation between thyroid function index and serum visfatin in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods:Using a prospective design, 65 patients with AP treated in Binzhou People's Hospital from December 2017 to December 2019 were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) group ( n = 35) and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) group ( n = 30) according to the acute physiology and chronic health Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score ( < 8, ≥8 scores). At the same time, 40 healthy people were selected as the control group. The serum levels of free thyroxine (FT 4), free triiodothyronine (FT 3) and thyrotropin (TSH) were measured by chemiluminescence immunoassay. Radioimmunoassay was used to measure serum reverse triiodothyronine (rT 3) level, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure serum visfatin level. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between thyroid function index and serum visfatin in patients with AP. Results:The FT 4 [(14.02 ± 3.63), (15.68 ± 3.05) pmol/L], FT 3 [(2.34 ± 0.80), (3.66 ± 0.65) pmol/L], and TSH levels [(2.78 ± 0.85), (3.10 ± 0.57) mU/L] in SAP and MAP groups were significantly lower than those in control group [(17.03 ± 3.96), (6.04 ± 1.55) pmol/L, (4.88 ± 2.30) mU/L, P < 0.05], but the rT 3 levels [(1.63 ± 1.12), (1.23 ± 0.26) nmol/L] were significantly higher than that in control group [(0.97 ± 0.28) nmol/L, P < 0.05]. There was significant difference in serum FT 3 levels between SAP and MAP groups ( P < 0.05). The serum visfatin levels of SAP, MAP and control groups were (10.75 ± 2.92), (3.70 ± 1.73), (2.30 ± 1.31) ng/ml, the difference between the three groups was statistically significant ( F = 67.174, P < 0.05). The serum visfatin levels in SAP and MAP groups were higher than that in control group, and that in SAP group was higher than that in MAP group ( P < 0.05). There were negative correlations between serum FT 3 level and visfatin level in SAP and MAP groups ( r = - 0.672, - 0.610, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The serum visfatin level and thyroid function index of AP patients are abnormal. The levels of FT 3 and visfatin are correlated with the severity of AP patients, and there is a negative correlation between the levels of FT 3 and visfatin. Detection of thyroid function index is helpful to judge the AP patient's condition.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the clinical characteristics of chronic liver injury and glutathione treatment in patients with coal-burning-borne arsenism.Methods:A total of 71 patients with liver injury caused by coal-burning-borne arsenism admitted to Binzhou People's Hospital from March 2017 to December 2018 were randomly divided into observation group (37 cases) and control group (34 cases) by lottery. Both groups of patients were given routine treatment, including intravenous infusion of compound amino acids, oral administration of B vitamins, etc., and intravenous infusion of 5.0 g of vitamin C mixture dissolved in 250 ml of 5% glucose, once a day, treatment for 4 weeks. In addition, the observation group was given an intravenous infusiondrip of 1.8 g of glutathione dissolved in 250 ml of 5% glucose, once a day, for 4 weeks. The clinical characteristics of the patients were observed, and the changes of liver function [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL)], serum antioxidant indexes [malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)], and clinical efficacy before and after the treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:In 71 coal-burning-borne arsenism patients with liver injury, the abnormal rate of electrocardiogram (ECG) examination was 64.79% (46/71), and the abnormal rate of chest X-ray examination was 26.76% (19/71). After treatment, the liver function indexes ALT, AST, TBIL and DBIL decreased in both groups [observation group before treatment: (131.82 ± 25.62), (109.84 ± 26.28) U/L, (81.47 ± 20.93), (57.38 ± 15.25) μmol/L; observation group after treatment: (58.93 ± 12.03), (51.20 ± 10.57) U/L, (25.66 ± 7.94), (16.49 ± 4.92) μmol/L; control group before treatment: (128.95 ± 31.20), (107.39 ± 29.81) U/L, (83.21 ± 17.95), (55.39 ± 16.30) μmol/L; control group after treatment: (76.42 ± 15.73), (74.33 ± 14.80) U/L, (36.72 ± 9.32), (23.74 ± 7.35) μmol/L, P < 0.05], and the liver function indexes in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group after treatment ( P < 0.05). The serum antioxidant indexes MDA, SOD and GSH-Px in the two groups were significantly increased after treatment [observation group before treatment: (25.47 ± 3.98) μmol/L, (85.72 ± 23.54), (1 729.84 ± 379.50) U/L; observation group after treatment: (46.31 ± 7.49) μmol/L, (122.31 ± 28.53), (2 410.29 ± 512.31) U/L; control group before treatment: (26.02 ± 4.11) μmol/L, (84.95 ± 21.03), (1 749.52 ± 405.28) U/L; control group after treatment: (38.92 ± 6.27) μmol/L, (103.12 ± 25.68), (2 097.42 ± 478.52) U/L, P < 0.05], and the serum antioxidant indexes in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group after treatment ( P < 0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group [91.89% (34/37) vs 76.47% (26/34), χ 2 = 4.254, P < 0.05]. Conclusions:Coal-burning-borne arsenism patients with chronic liver injury may have multiple system injury at the same time. Glutathione can effectively improve the clinical symptoms and liver function of patients. Its effect may be related to the improvement of antioxidant function, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
