Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2016;28(8):718-722
Objective To evaluate the early diagnosis value of blood neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in patients with sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods A prospective case controlled study was conducted. Fifty-six patients with sepsis but without renal disease admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Shanxi People's Hospital from April 2014 to April 2015 were enrolled. Blood lactic acid and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score at ICU admission were recorded. The urine output, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), NGAL, IL-18 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were continuously monitored for 48 hours. The patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to the diagnostic criteria of Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). The changes trend in above parameters between the two groups at different time points were compared. The early diagnostic value of NGAL, IL-18, and SCr for sepsis-induced AKI was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results Compared with non-AKI group, with the time prolongation after ICU admission, the traditional parameters reflecting AKI urine output in sepsis-induced AKI group was decreased gradually, BUN and SCr were gradually increased, and a statistically significant difference was found at 12 hours between the two groups [BUN (mmol/L): 11.8±3.5 vs. 8.2±3.5, SCr (μmol/L): 88.6±11.3 vs. 74.0±11.0, both P < 0.01]; but the new indicators NGAL and IL-18 reflecting AKI had a statistically significant difference at 6 hours [NGAL (μg/L): 426.7±90.7 vs. 382.3±67.9, IL-18 (ng/L): 75.7±9.3 vs. 70.9±7.3, both P < 0.05]. It was shown that in AKI group, NGAL and IL-18 compared with BUN and SCr increased at least 6 hours ahead of schedule. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of 6-hour NGAL and IL-18 in patients with sepsis-induced AKI were 0.821 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.713-0.931] and 0.719 (95%CI = 0.584-0.853) respectively, superior to SCr (AUC = 0.677, 95%CI = 0.528-0.825). The cutoff value of NGAL was 363.58 μg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 88.0% and 86.7% respectively. Conclusions NGAL and IL-18 in the early prediction of sepsis patients with AKI are better than SCr, and NGAL was most sensitive. Therefore, NGAL can be used as an early biomarker for the diagnosis of AKI in patients with sepsis.

ObjectiveTo estimate the effect of azithromycin on lung function and transforming growth factor β1(TGF- β1) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). MethodsOne hundred and ten patients with IPF were divided into two groups by random digits table. Patients in azithromycin group(60cases) were treated by azithromycin tablets and thoee in placebo group ( 50 cases) were treated by placebo tablets, and they were observed for 12 weeks. Lung function was detected at beginning and after 6,12 weeks' treatment. TGF- β1 was tested by ELISA, meanwhile patient's condition was observed. ResultsAfter 6 and 12 weeks' treatment, the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), carbonmonoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) in the two groups had no significant differences compared with those at beginning of treatment (P > 0.05). After 12 weeks' treatment, the level of TGF- β1 in azithromycin group was significantly decreased compared with that at beginning and after 6 weeks' treatment (P < 0.05) ,but there was no significant difference in placebo group (P > 0.05). The ratio of acute exacerbation admission and infection was 8.3%(5/60) and 60.0%(3/5) in azithromycin group, 22.0%( 11/50) and 81.8%(9/11 ) in placebo group,and there were significant differences between the two groups(P <0.05 or <0.01). Conclusion Azithromycin may reduce the ratio of acute exacerbation admission and infection, decrease TGF- β 1 expression in patients with IPF by taking orally for a long time, but it may have no obvious effect on lung function.

Ginsenosides are the main active components of medicinal herbs including Panax ginseng and Panax quinquefolium, which have potent effects of anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and apoptosis inhibition. But the low content of ginsenosides limits its development and usage. At present, how to improve the production of ginsenosides by biological technology has been a new research focus. Some advances in the biosynthesis of ginsenosides by tissue culture and biotransformation have been made in recent years. So far at least twenty genes related to the biosynthesis of ginsenosides from Panax genus plants have been cloned and functionally identified, which has laid a good foundation for the study on the synthetic biology of ginsenosides. This review outlines recent advances in several aspects and is expected to provide a theoretical support to the thorough research of the pathway and regulation of ginsenosides biosynthesis.
