[Journal Article]BAI Jieyu, WANG Hui, LU Yuyu et al.-Henan Medical Research2026, No.16

Abstract:Objective To explore the predictive value of the longitudinal change pattern of leptin to adiponectin ratio(LAR)on the progression of gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)in pregnant women with borderline blood glucose.Methods A prospective study was conducted on 99 pregnant women with borderline blood glucose at 24 weeks of gestation admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from September 2021 to June 2023.Fasting venous serum LAR was measured at 24 weeks,26 weeks and 28 weeks of gestation.Fasting venous serum LAR was measured at 24,26,and 28 weeks of gestation.The changes in LAR among all pregnant women during follow-up were observed.A latent class trajectory model(LCTM)was used to establish a trajectory model for LAR changes.The changes in LAR and baseline data among different trajectory groups were compared.Logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between LAR trajectory and progression to gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive performance of LAR trajectory for progression to GDM.Results During the follow-up of all pregnant women,the leptin levels were(7.56±2.50)μg·L-1,(8.80±2.74)μg·L-1,and(9.63±2.95)μg·L-1,respectively,and the LAR values were 1.21±0.30,1.56±0.44,and 1.97±0.51,respectively,all showing a significant upward trend.The adiponectin levels were(6.25±0.90)μg·L-1,(5.63±0.87)μg·L-1,and(4.89±0.75)μg·L-1,respectively,showing a significant downward trend,with statistical significance(P<0.05).LCTM analysis identified three LAR trajectory models:low-to-slow increase(T1 group,30.30%),low-to-moderate-to-rapid increase(T2 group,35.35%),and high-to-rapid increase(T3 group,34.34%).Significant differences were observed in body mass index(BMI),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and fasting blood glucose(FBG)among the three trajectory groups(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that both before and after adjustment,compared with the T1 group,the T2 and T3 groups increased the risk of developing GDM.The T2 and T3 trajectories were independently associated with the development of GDM(P<0.05).ROC analysis indicated that when LAR followed a high-to-rapid increase trajectory(T3),the area under the curve for predicting the progression to GDM was 0.808(95%CI:0.717-0.881).Conclusion There are different longitudinal change trajectories of LAR in the follow-up of pregnant women with borderline blood glucose.The high-rapid increase trajectory has certain predictive value for the progression to GDM,which can be used as an auxiliary index for clinical prediction of GDM,so as to guide individualized and stratified intervention.

[Journal Article]WANG Lihua, GUO Yan, YANG Man et al.-Henan Medical Research2026, No.15

Abstract:Objective To analyze the correlations among clinical manifestations,molecular subtypes and prognosis in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL),verify the prognostic value of the traditional international prognostic index(IPI)and its individual components in the era of rituximab plus CHOP(R-CHOP)regimen,and explore a modified risk stratification model incorporating extranodal involvement and molecular subtypes,so as to provide evidence for clinical prognostic evaluation and individualized treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 120 previously untreated DLBCL patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan Medical University from January 2020 to January 2023.Patients' demographic characteristics,Ann Arbor staging,number of extranodal involvement,lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)level,Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG)score,IPI score,immunohistochemical molecular typing[germinal center B-cell-like(GCB),non-germinal center B-cell-like(non-GCB)],and survival follow-up information were systematically collected.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the 3-year overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS),and the log-rank test was used for inter-group comparison.Variables with P<0.1 in univariate analysis were included in the Cox proportional hazards regression model,and multivariate models including the total IPI score(model 1)and individual IPI components(model 2)were constructed,respectively,with proportional hazards hypothesis testing.Subgroup analysis was further conducted based on molecular typing,and a simple prognostic score incorporating independent risk factors was preliminarily constructed.Results The median follow-up time for the entire group of 120 patients was 36 months.The 3-year OS was 69.2%,and the 3-year PFS was 62.5%.Univariate analysis showed that age(<40 years,40-<60 years,≥60 years),Ann Arbor stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ,IPI score ≥ 3,elevated LDH,≥2 extranodal involvements,and non-GCB molecular subtypes were significantly associated with poorer OS and PFS(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis(model 1)revealed that an IPI score of ≥3(HR=3.448,95%CI:1.820-6.352,P<0.001),≥2 extranodal involvements(HR=2.759,95%CI:1.480-5.146,P=0.001),and non-GCB subtype(HR=1.986,95%CI:1.132-3.485,P=0.017)were independent poor prognostic factors for OS.Model 2(individual components of IPI)indicated that only ≥2 extranodal involvements(HR=2.815,95%CI:1.513-5.237,P=0.001)and elevated LDH levels(HR=1.892,95%CI:1.056-3.391,P=0.032)maintained independent prognostic significance.Subgroup analysis found that the impact of age on prognosis was primarily concentrated in the non-GCB subtype(HR=2.436,95%CI:1.284-4.622,P=0.007).The initially constructed simplified prognostic model incorporating three factors(IPI score≥3,≥ 2 extranodal involvements,and non-GCB subtype)showed a trend toward better discrimination for 3-year overall survival compared with the traditional IPI score.Conclusion High IPI score,multiple extranodal involvements,and non-GCB subtype are independent poor prognostic factors for DLBCL patients;the contribution of traditional IPI components has decreased,with extranodal involvement and elevated LDH levels gaining more prominence;there is a significant interaction between age and molecular typing.The simplified modified model constructed based on these factors exhibits superior discriminatory power compared to the traditional IPI.This study provides a scientific basis for individualized prognostic assessment and identification of high-risk patients in DLBCL.

[Journal Article]LIANG Xiaofang, JIANG Zhuo, WANG Lei et al.-Henan Medical Research2026, No.16

Abstract:Objective To investigate the changes of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(non-HDL-C)and apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A1 ratio(ApoB/ApoA1)levels during highly active antiretroviral therapy(HAART)in patients with human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)infection/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS)and their predictive value for cardiovascular system damage.Methods The clinical data of 400 HIV/AIDS patients admitted to the Fifth People's Hospital of Anyang from January 1,2015 to January 1,2021 were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether HIV/AIDS patients had cardiovascular system damage,they were divided into the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group.The clinical data and the levels of non-HDL-C and ApoB/ApoA1 during treatment were compared between the two groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of non-HDL-C and ApoB/ApoA1 changes on cardiovascular system damage in HIV/AIDS patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of non-HDL-C and ApoB/ApoA1 changes on cardiovascular system damage in HIV/AIDS patients.Results Among the 400 HIV/AIDS patients,112 cases(28.00%)had cardiovascular system damage within 4 years.The main type of damage was abnormal electrocardiogram(86 cases,76.79%),among which non-specific ST-T changes(45 cases)and various arrhythmias(41 cases)were the most common.Imaging abnormalities(18 cases,16.07%)were the second.The proportion of abnormal laboratory tests(8 cases,7.14%)was the lowest,mainly the increase of troponin Ⅰ(5 cases)or creatine kinase isoenzyme(3 cases).The proportion of smoking history and opportunistic infections during treatment in the occurrence group were higher than those in the non-occurrence group.The HAART time was longer than that in the non-occurrence group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The changes of non-HDL-C and ApoB/ApoA1(Δ6 months,Δ12 months)in the occurrence group were higher than those in the non-occurrence group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that non-HDL-C and ApoB/ApoA1 changes(Δ6 months,Δ12 months)were independently associated with cardiovascular system damage in HIV/AIDS patients(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)value of non-HDL-C and ApoB/ApoA1(Δ6 months)combined prediction of cardiovascular system damage in HIV/AIDS patients was greater than that of single index prediction(P<0.05).The AUC value of non-HDL-C and ApoB/ApoA1(Δ12 months)combined prediction of cardiovascular system damage was greater than that of single index prediction(P<0.05).The AUC value of combined prediction of non-HDL-C and ApoB/ApoA1 change value(Δ12 months)was higher than that of combined prediction of non-HDL-C and ApoB/ApoA1 change value(Δ6 months)(P<0.05).Conclusion The increase of non-HDL-C and ApoB/ApoA1 levels in HIV/AIDS patients during HAART treatment is related to cardiovascular system damage,and the combination of the changes before and after treatment has a good effect on predicting cardiovascular system damage,which is helpful for clinicians to optimize cardiovascular risk management in time to reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular system damage.

[Journal Article]GAO Meihua, ZHOU Junfei, QIAN Peng et al.-Henan Medical Research2026, No.16

Abstract:Objective To investigate the association between serum uric acid(SUA)level and albuminuria in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A consecutive case series of 588 elderly patients with T2DM hospitalized in the Department of Geriatricology at Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January to December 2023 was included in this cross-sectional analysis.According to urinary albumin/creatinine(UACR),588 patients were divided into normoalbuminuria group(UACR<30 mg·g-1)and albuminuria group(UACR ≥30 mg·g-1),and clinical characteristics were compared between groups.Patients were divided into Q1 group(<255 μmol·L-1),Q2 group(255 to<303 μmol·L-1),Q3 group(303 to<359.23 μmol·L-1)and Q4 group(≥359.23 μmol·L-1)according to the SUA quartile.The probability of albuminuria among quartiles was analyzed.Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between SUA and risk of albuminuria.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were constructed to assess the predictive value of SUA for albuminuria.Results Compared with the normoalbuminuria group,patients in the albuminuria group had longer disease duration(P<0.05),higher prevalence of primary hypertension and diabetic retinopathy(P<0.05).The albuminuria group also showed significantly higher levels of systolic blood pressure(SBP),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),blood urea nitrogen,SUA,serum creatinine and fasting blood glucose(FBG),while estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly lower(P<0.05).After adjusting for confounding factors,multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the risks of macroalbuminuria in Q3 and Q4 groups were 6.356-fold(95%CI:1.000-40.359,P<0.05)and 10.881-fold(95%CI:1.685-70.067,P<0.05)higher than Q1 group,respectively.ROC curve analysis demonstrated that SUA had better predictive value for macroalbuminuria than microalbuminuria,with an optimal cutoff value of 329.8 μmol·L-1.Conclusion SUA levels are closely associated with albuminuria in elderly T2DM patients,particularly showing an independent correlation with macroalbuminuria.SUA level ≥ 329.8 μmol·L-1 may serve as an important indicator for predicting the risk of macroalbuminuria in elderly T2DM patients.
