Objective To check the neutrophil count and the expression of cell surface adhesion molecule,lymphocyte function associated antigen?1(LFA?1)in peripheral neutrophils in severe preeclamptic patients and normal pregnant women in order to investigate the correlation of neutrophil activation with preeclampsia. Methods Totally 28 pregnant women in the department of gynecology and obstetrics in Shengjing Hospital from No?vember 2013 to January 2014 were included in the study,and divided into the severe preeclampsia group(n=14),and the control group(normal pregnant women,n=14). There was no statistically significant difference in age and gestational weeks between the two groups. The expression of LFA?1 in peripheral neutrophils was detected by flow cytometry in the two groups. Mean blood pressure(MBP)was measured in the severe preeclamptic group,and the correlation of MBP with expression of LFA?1 was analyzed. Results The neutrophil count was 8.40±2.23 ×109/L in the severe pre?eclamptic group,significantly higher than(6.71±1.58)×109/L in the control group,(P<0.05). The positive rate of LFA?1 in peripheral neutrophils was 63.25±38.025%in the severe preeclamptic patients,significantly higher than 8.32±38.65%in the control group(P<0.05). The expression lev?el of LFA?1 in peripheral neutrophils was significantly correlated with mean blood pressure in severe preeclamptic patients(r=0.64,P=0.013). Conclusion The neutrophil count and the expression of LFA?1 in peripheral neutrophils were significantly increased in severe preeclamptic pa?tients compared to normal pregnant women,and significantly correlated with severity of preeclampsia,suggesting that neutrophil activation participat?ed in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

Objective To identify the risk factors associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (CCVD) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods We analyzed all of the patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis in the dialysis center of the 3rd Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University for at least 3 months from Jan 1st, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2014. Baseline and yearly interval clinical data were recorded and patients were followed up until morbidity or death of CCVD. Cox proportional hazard regression and time-dependent Cox regression were used to estimate the relative risk of outcomes associated with clinical measurements. Results There were 243 patients enrolled in the study, with a mean age of (53.2 ± 16.4) years old, and 138 of them were male (56.8%). The multivariate Cox proportional model revealed that age (HR=1.040, 95%CI:1.015-1.065, P=0.002), Erythropoietin (EPO) dose (HR=0.914, 95%CI: 0.846-0.987, P=0.022) and history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (HR=4.045, 95%CI: 2.074-7.890, P<0.001) were independent predictors of CCVD in MHD patients. After adjusting for baseline predictors, time-dependent serum phosphorus level (HR=1.722, 95%CI: 1.034-2.866, P=0.037) was significantly associated with CCVD. Conclusion Older age, decreases in EPO dose and history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease were associated with increased risks of CCVD in MHD patients. Increase in serum phosphorus level was associated with increased risks of CCVD in a time-dependent manner.
