Objectives: This study aims to determine cirrhotic patients’ clinical and laboratory characteristics, thereby examining the correlation between lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio and Child–Pugh and MELD/MELDNa scores. Methods: A cross-sectional study with an analysis of 153 patients admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology–Clinical Hematology at Can Tho Central General Hospital. Data were collected via patient interviews and medical records. Results: The included patients were more likely to be male (66.7%) and were ≥60 years old (51.6%). Excessive alcohol consumption and hepatitis B were the dominant causes of cirrhosis (35.3% and 34.0%). The clinical and laboratory characteristics were similar to previous studies in cirrhotic patients. The mean Child score was 9.3 ± 2.1, including 9.8% of patients with Child A, 44.4% for Child B, and 45.8% for Child C. The mean MELD and MELDNa scores were 16.9 ± 7.1 and 19.4 ± 8.1, respectively. The mean lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) is 2.0 ± 2.2 (from 0.09 to 25.3), being negatively correlated with the other scores (Pearson correlation coefficients were −0.238; −0.211 and −0.245, respectively, all p-values < 0.01). Patients with LMR below 3.31 were more likely to be classified as Child–Pugh B and C. Conclusion: The correlation between LMR with Child–Pugh, MELD, and MELDNa scores was weak and negative.

Background: Apolipoprotein B (APOB) rs676210 polymorphism has been associated with altered lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risk in various populations; however, data from Vietnamese populations remain limited. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association of the APOB rs676210 variant with lipid profiles among Vietnamese individuals newly diagnosed with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 69 Vietnamese adults newly diagnosed with elevated LDL-C (≥130 mg/dL) at a tertiary hospital in Southern Vietnam. Participants were genotyped for APOB rs676210 using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with allele-specific probes. Lipid profile components, including LDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), non–HDL-C, and ApoB, were compared across genotype groups (AA vs GA/GG) and alleles (A vs G). Statistical analyses involved t tests, chi-square tests, and multivariable linear regression adjusted for age, sex, the BMI, and diabetes. P<.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Of the 69 participants, 32 (46.4%) carried the AA genotype, while 37 (53.6%) carried the GA or the GG genotype. The AA genotype was associated with significantly higher LDL-C (mean 5.19, SD 0.95, vs mean 4.37, SD 0.97, mmol/L; P<.001), non–HDL-C (mean 5.94, SD 1.08, vs mean 5.31, SD 1.22 mmol/L; P=.03), and ApoB (mean 149.5, SD 26.3, vs mean 136.9, SD 15.2, mg/dL; P=.02) and lower HDL-C (mean 1.26, SD 0.31, vs mean 1.44, SD 0.39, mmol/L; P=.03) compared to the GA/GG genotype. Allele-based analysis showed that carriers of the A allele (98/138, 71%) also had higher LDL-C (mean 4.91, SD 1.02, vs mean 4.36, SD 0.97, mmol/L; P=.004) and ApoB (mean 145.6, SD 23.2, vs mean 135.9, SD 16.0, mg/dL; P=.02) than G allele carriers (40/138, 29%). These associations remained significant after multivariate adjustment. Conclusions: APOB rs676210 polymorphism is associated with significant differences in lipid profiles among Vietnamese adults with elevated LDL-C. Specifically, the A allele and the AA genotype confer a more atherogenic profile, suggesting potential utility as a genetic marker in lipid screening and personalized cardiovascular risk management in this population.

Đặt vấn đề: Vai trò của gene cagA và iceA trong bệnh viêm loét dạ dày tá tràng do nhiễm Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) vẫn còn chưa rõ ràng. Mục tiêu nghiên cứu: Khảo sát mối liên quan giữa gene cagA và iceA của vi khuẩn H. pylori với bệnh viêm loét dạ dày tá tràng và xác định tỷ lệ xuất hiện các gene này. Đối tượng và phương pháp nghiên cứu: Nghiên cứu thực hiện trên 69 bệnh nhân mắc viêm loét dạ dày tá tràng có nhiễm H. pylori theo phương pháp mô tả cắt ngang được chẩn đoán bằng nội soi và xét nghiệm urease nhanh dương tính tại Bệnh viện Đa khoa Trung ương Cần Thơ và Bệnh viện Trường Đại học Y Dược Cần Thơ từ tháng 07/2025 - 01/2026. Xác định các gene cagA, iceA bằng kỹ thuật PCR từ mẫu mô niêm mạc dạ dày. Kết quả: Tỷ lệ gene cagA, iceA dương tính lần lượt là 79,7% và 73,9% (trong đó tỷ lệ iceA1, iceA2 dương tính lần lượt là 37,7% và 36,2%). Ba biến thể của gene iceA2 được phát hiện gồm 24 aa, 59 aa và 94 aa, trong đó biến thể 59 aa thường gặp nhất (72%). Gene iceA1 dương tính có liên quan với loét dạ dày tá tràng (OR hiệu chỉnh = 6,05; KTC 95%: 1,40 - 26,18). Kết luận: Tỷ lệ các chủng H. pylori mang gene cagA và iceA dương tính khá cao (79,7% và 73,9%). Gene iceA1 dương tính có liên quan với loét dạ dày tá tràng.

Đặt vấn đề: Helicobacter pylori là nguyên nhân hàng đầu gây các bệnh lý dạ dày - tá tràng. Protein CagA được mã hóa bởi gene cagA là độc tố kinh điển của H. pylori. Mục tiêu nghiên cứu: (1) Xác định tỷ lệ mang gene cagA của H. pylori phân lập từ các bệnh nhân bệnh lý dạ dày - tá tràng; (2) Khảo sát mối liên quan giữa gene cagA và bệnh lý dạ dày - tá tràng. Đối tượng và phương pháp nghiên cứu: Nghiên cứu cắt ngang trên 173 bệnh nhân bệnh lý dạ dày tá tràng có nhiễm H. pylori. Nuôi cấy và  phân lập H. pylori từ mẫu mô sinh thiết dạ dày. Gene cagA được xác định bằng phương pháp PCR. Kết quả: Tỷ lệ chủng H. pylori mang gene cagA (+) là 83,8%. Phân tích hồi quy đa biến sau khi hiệu chỉnh theo tuổi và giới cho thấy nhiễm chủng H. pylori có cagA (+) làm tăng nguy cơ loét dạ dày - tá tràng gấp 5,49 lần (95% CI: 1,06-28,37, p = 0,042). Kết luận: Tỷ lệ chủng H. pylori mang gene cagA (+) cao. Gene cagA có liên quan với tăng nguy cơ loét dạ dày - tá tràng.
