Objective This study aims to analyze if high sensitivity C Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) was a independent risk factor of acute kidney injury(AKI) after A type aortic dissection surgery.Methods Clinical data of the 169 patients who underwent A type acute aortic dissection surgery from February 2009 to October 2010 were collected.Patients without preoperative detection of hs-CRP,patients with preoperative infection and patients diagnosed infection before AKI were excluded.Enrolled patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group,and according to using RRT or not,the patients were divided into RRT group and non-RRT group.All the factors were evaluated by means of univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify relative risk factors of AKI.Results AKI occurred in 95 cases(56.2%),Using RRT in 8 cases (4.7%).hsCRP is an independent risk factor of AKI(OR =0.975,95% CI 0.952-0.999,P =0.041).hs-CRP and aortic cross clamping time were the independent risk factors of using RRT,The in-hospital mortality was significant difference between RRT group and non-RRT group (P < 0.05).The area under the ROC curve of hs-CRP on RRT diagnosis was 0.733,95% CI 0.570-0.896,P =0.026.The sensitivity of CRP > 30.42 mg/L warning AKI need RRT was 87.5%,the specificity was 53.4%.Conclusion AKI after A type aortic dissection surgery was a severe complication and RRT associated with in-hospital mortality,hs-CRP was higher in acute aortic dissection patients.The level of hs-CRP and aortic cross clamping time were independent risk factors of AKI and RRT.

Objective To analyze the independent risk factors associated with acute kidney injury(AKI)after Sun’s pro-cedure in the patients with acute aortic dissection .Methods Clinical data of 400 patients who underwent Sun ’ s procedure from February 2009 to August 2013 were collected.Data included preoperative GFR, Cleveland values, CPB time and fluid balance of 24 h intra and after operation were gathered .The patients were divided into the group of AKI and the group of non-AKI accounting to the changing of serum creatinine.Results AKI was occurred in 150(37.5%) patients.Hospital mortality in AKI group was significant higher than that in the non-AKI group(11.3% vs.2.4%, P<0.05).Univariable analysis re-vealed male, BWI, hypertension, preoperative MAP,WBC, eGFR, Cleveland value, cardiopulmonary bypass time, intra and postoperative fluid balance for 24 h have significant difference between 2 groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed hypertension, Cleveland value, cardiopulmonary bypass time and fluid balance were independent risk factors for AKI .Conclu-sion AKI after acute aortic dissection was a severe complication .Hypertension, Cleveland value, cardiopulmonary time and fluid balance were associated with AKI.

ObjectiveTo understand the prevalence of hookworm infection and its relevant behavioral factors in rural areas of Tiantai County, Zhejiang Province, and to provide scientific evidence for prevention and control of hookworm disease. MethodsBy using a stratified cluster random sampling strategy, local residents aged ≥3 years was divided into 5 districts according to geographical location; furthermore, those in one administrative village (surveillance site) were investigated in each district. Species of hookworm were identified by filter paper culture in vitro, and enterobius vermicularis eggs were detected by cellophane anal swab in children aged 3‒9 year. Risk factors were determined by questionnaire. ResultsA total of 1 013 residents were investigated in 5 surveillance sites. Thirty nine cases with hookworm infection were detected, with the total infection rate of 3.85% . All species detected were determined to be Necator americanus. The infection rate significantly differed across the towns (χ2=48.32, P<0.05), with the highest rate in Nanping Town (10.95%) . It significantly differed by age groups (χ2=65.65, P<0.05), with the highest rate in those aged >70 years (9.75%). Furthermore, it decreased with educational background. It was significantly associated with fertilize with fresh manure (χ2=6.87, P<0.05) and barefoot labor (χ2=157.69, P<0.05). ConclusionThe overall infection rate of hookworm in Tiantai County remains low. Dominant species of hookworm is hookworm Necator americanus. It is necessary to strengthen the advocacy of hookworm prevention and control knowledge, improve hygiene in work and life style, and increase self-protection awareness.
