Objective To analyze the risk factors associated with acute renal failure (ARF) in critically ill obstetric patients in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods A retrospective analysis of 192 critically ill obstetric patients admitted to the ICU for postpartum complications was conducted. There were 10 patients excluded because 3 died of amniotic embolism with massive hemorrhage in ICU and 7 had incomplete records, therefore, only 182 critically ill obstetric patients were enrolled in this study. According to the occurrence of ARF or not, the patients were divided into ARF group (68 cases) and non-ARF group (114 cases). The indicators of preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, thrombocytopenia), acute fatty pregnancy liver, postpartum hemorrhage, sepsis were collected in the two groups. The main drugs used in the 4 days after delivery were as follows: ① plasma volume expanders: fluids (crystalloids, artificial colloids, hypertonic albumin and 4% serum albumin) and blood products (packed red cells, concentrated platelets, fibrinogen, fresh frozen plasma and activated factor Ⅶ); ② antifibrinolytic drug: tranexamic acid; ③ anti-hypertensive drugs: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), diuretics; ④ nephrotoxic drugs: aminoglycosides, contrast agent. The above indexes were firstly analyzed by the univariate method, and the risk factors with statistical significance were further analyzed by multivariate logistic regression method to screen out the independent risk factors of developing ARF in critically ill obstetric patients in ICU.Results Univariate analysis showed that HELLP syndrome, tranexamic acid and hypertonic albumin infusion used in 4 days after delivery were the risk factors of ARF (χ2 value was 4.92, 4.29, 5.53, respectively, allP < 0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed: HELLP syndrome [odds ratio (OR) = 10.478, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.248 - 17.953,P = 0.030] and hypertonic albumin infusion used in 4 days after delivery [OR = 6.632, 95%CI was 1.211 - 16.328,P = 0.029] were the independent risk factors to develop ARF.Conclusions The occurrence of ARF in a critically ill obstetric patient in ICU is a process involving multiple factors, therefore, it is necessary to fully recognize the risk factors influencing the development of this disease; the presence of HELLP syndrome and hypertonic albumin infusion used in 4 days after delivery are the independent risk factors of developing ARF. Thus, particular attention should be paid to those patients with such high risk factors to decrease the incidence of ARF.

Objectives Construct a subtractive library of Caski cell line induced by exposing to the space environment by suppression subtractive hybridization and pave the way to explain the molecular mechanisms of the changes at the gene level. Methods Super SMART cDNA synthesis and suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) were performed to isolate differentially expressed cDNA fragments from strains subclonal 48A9 cell line. cDNA from the 48A9 cell line were used as " tester" , and the other from the control Caski cell line as "driver". Subtractive products were directly inserted into T/A cloning vector, and then transformed into host bacteria to set up a subtractive cDNA library of specially or highly expressed genes in strains subclonal 48A9 cell line. Results mRNA were directly extracted and purified with good quality. Double strand cDNA were reverse transcripted integratedly, and then cut by Rsa I into even length short segments. Liga-tion was identified as high effective. After two hybridizations, a subtractive library of differentially expressed genes in strains subclonal 48A9 cell line was successfully constructed by SSH. Conclusion SSH is an effective approach to isolate differentially expressed genes.

Objective To investigate the reliability and feasibility of spectral entropy in evaluate the effectiveness of analgesic sedation in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods A total of 64 patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to Hongqi Hospital Affiliated to Mudanjiang Medical University from July 2021 to November 2022 were selected as study objects,and the included patients were divided into control group and experimental group according to random number table method,with 32 cases in each group.Patients in control group adjusted analgesia and sedation regimen according to Richmond agitation-sedation scale(RASS)score and critical-care pain observation tool(CPOT)score.Patients in experimental group adjusted the analgesic and sedation regimen according to the results of spectral entropy.The vital signs,C-reactive protein(CRP),dose of sedative and analgesic drugs and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups.The correlation between spectral entropy and RASS score and CPOT score was used Spearman correlation analysis.Results The spectral entropy values were positively correlated with the RASS score and CPOT score,respectively(r=0.719,0.556,P<0.001).There were no significant differences in mean arterial pressure and percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation between two groups at different time points(P>0.05).The heart rate at T3 in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05).At T1,T2 and T3,CRP levels in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The dosage of sufentanil and midazolam in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group(12.50%vs.34.38%,χ2=4.267,P=0.039).Conclusion Spectral entropy can be used as an objective method to monitor the depth of analgesia and sedation in patients with ischemic stroke,and has a good correlation with RASS score and CPOT score,which can reduce the incidence of adverse reactions,effectively avoid stress reactions,and reduce the application of analgesia and sedation drugs.
