Objective To investigate the effect of serum uric acid (UA) on cardiovascular diseases in hemodialysis patients. Methods The serum level of uric acid and other laboratory indexes of 80 hemodialysis patients were detected,and the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were detected by ultrasonic cardiography examination. Results According to the serum level of UA, the hemodialysis patients were divided into 2 groups:the group with high serum level of UA and the group with normal serum level of UA. There were significant differences (P<0.05) in hypertension history,the period of hypertension history, systolic blood pressure before hemodialysis between the two groups. The serum levels of UA,creatinine, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, C-reactive protein, brain natriuretic peptide and LVMI were significantly higher,while the serum levels of albumin,pre-albumin,high density lipoprotein cholesterol, LVEF were lower in the group with high serum level of UA than those in the group with normal high serum level of UA (P<0.05) . Furthermore, the serum levels of UA in 80 patients was positively correlated to systolic blood pressure before hemodialysis, serum creatinine, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, C-reactive protein, brain natriuretic peptide, and LVMI (P<0.05), while it was negatively correlated to serum albumin, pre-albumin, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and LVEF (P<0.05) . Conclusion High serum level of uric acid is associated with the onset of cardiovascular diseases in hemodialysis patients.

Objective To investigate the intrapulmonary expression of tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) gene during acute pancreatitis, as well as correlation between TNF-? and lung injury seen in many patients undergoing acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). Methods Ninety SD rats were divided into three groups randomly. Acute edematous pancreatitis(AEP) and ANP were induced by retrograde infusion of sodium taurocholate (0.5% and 5%) into biliopancreatic duct respectively. Animals in the last group only underwent sham-operation. All the animals were sacrificed at certain time, plasma level of amylase and TNF-? was assessed. Intrapulmonary expression of TNF-? mRNA and TNF-? protein was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and immunohisto- chemistry. Cell apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL method. Results Intrapulmonary expression of TNF-? mRNA was much stronger and more sustained in ANP group than that in AEP group (P

Objective To explore the dynamic change of high mobility group box-1(HMGB1) expression in sepsis shock patients and its relationship with prognosis.Methods A total of 98 patients with septic shock in ICU from March 2014 to March 2016 were collected as the research subjects and divided into the shock group (48 cases) and control group(50 cases) according to whether de-veloping shock at admission.The HMGB1 levels and APACHE Ⅱ scores change within 28 d after admission were compared be-tween the two groups ;the shock group was divided into the group A (HMGB1≤35 pg/mL ,30 cases) ,B(HMGB1>35 pg/mL ,18 cases) according to the HMGB1 level before treatment ,the two groups were observed for 3 months from the day admitted to hospi-tal.The APACHEⅡ score ,ScvO2 ,lactic acid concentration and lactic acid clearance rate after 7 d treatment ,ICU mechanical venti-lation use rate and survival rate within 3 months were compared between the two groups.Results The HMGB1 level and A-PACHEⅡ scores before admission had no statistical difference between the shock group and control group (P>0.05);the HMGB1 and APACHEⅡ scores on 7 ,14 ,21 ,28 d after admission in the shock group were significantly higher than those in the control group ,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);the APACHEⅡ score ,mean lactic acid clearance rate and ScvO2 after 7 d treatment in the group A were significantly higher than those in the group B ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) ,the survival rate within 3 months after admission in the group A was also significantly higher than that in the group B ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) ,while the lactic acid concentration and ICU mechanical ventilation use rate after 7 d treatment in the group A were significantly lower than those in the group B with statistical difference (P<0.05).Conclusion The HMGB1 level change has a strong correlation with the prognosis ,the higher the HMGB1 level ,the worse the prognosis of patients with septic shock ,HMGB1 can be used as an important indicator of monitoring disease condition changes in sepsis ,which is worthy of attention in clinical laboratory.
