Objective To investigate the incidence of AKI and its relationship to mortality of inpatients by analyzing the changes of serum creatinine(SCr). Methods We collected the data of SCr in Peking Union Medical College Hospital through Jun 2006 to May 2007 and then selected the patients who were subjected to SCr determination more than one time. The relationship between the frequency of SCr determination and gender, age was analyzed. The relationship of increased SCr to gender, age, frequency of determination was also analyzed. The risk stratification based on SCr was investigated. In our study, we investigated the incidence of AKI in different diagnostic groups. The relationship between AKI and mortality in ICU and MICU unit was analyzed. Results There were 36 855 patients in one year, 16 934 patients were subjected to SCr determination only one time, 15 233 patients were subjected to SCr determination at least two times. Elder men were subjected to SCr determination more frequently (P<0.01). Along with the increase of SCr concentration, the frequency of SCr determination were increased significantly (P<0.01). Using the increasing of SCr exceeding 50% as the criteria for diagnosis of AKI, the incidence of hospital-acquired AKI was 8.46%, and it was higher in patients with injury and poisoning (16.7%), infection (16.0%), hematological system diseases (16.1%), neoplasms (12.7%). The incidence of AKI was 27.7% and 55.2% in ICU and MICU, respectively. Mortality of patients in MICU was increased along with the increasing of SCr level Mortality of patients with AKI in ICU was 23.3%, that was significant higher than patients without AKI, the adjust OR was 2.7 (P<0.01). Conclusions The incidence of AKI evaluated by analyzing SCr changing is significantly higher than that using experienced clinical diagnosis. This method is convenient in clinic for early diagnosis of AKI.

BACKGROUND: The special genetic law of short tandem repeat on chromosome X (X-STR) makes it incomparable with autosome markers in forensic identification. However, the population genetics data is far less than that of the autosome STR, and especially the haplotype data are rarely reported.OBJECTIVE: To study the genetic polymorphism of 12 X-STR loci in Shenzhen area by pedigree analysis, aiming to provide scientific and effective data for the application of X-STR in forensic medicine and genetics. METHODS: The blood samples of 118 families were taken to extract DNA by Chelex-100, followed by PCR amplification using Investigator Argus X-12 kit. The frequency of alleles of 231 unrelated individuals was counted by direct counting method and Excel software. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test was performed on 12 X-STR loci of female samples by chi-square test. Discrimination power and mean exclusion chance were calculated according to the formula. Pedigree analysis was done to identify haplotypes of female samples and the haplotype frequencies of 4 linkage groups in 111 fathers and 119 mothers were calculated using direct counting method and Excel software.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In this study, 349 haplotypes were obtained. There were 238, 139, 153 and 157 haplotypes in linkage groups X1-X4, respectively. The polymorphism of DXS10135 locus was the highest with 21 alleles,while the polymorphism of DXS7423 locus was the worst with only 4 alleles. The combined discrimination power was 0.99999999 in males and 0.99999999 in females. The combined mean exclusion chance was 0.99999999 in trio cases,and 0.99999811 in duo cases. These findings indicate that the X-12 detection system has high polymorphism in Shenzhen Han population, and has important application value in forensic individual identification and paternity testing.
