Uridine is one of the essential nutrients in organisms. To maintain normal cell growth and intracellular metabolism, the uridine must be maintained at certain concentration. Recent studies have shown that uridine can reduce inflammatory response in organisms, participate in glycolysis, and regulate intracellular protein modification, such as glycosylation and acetylation. Furthermore, it can protect cells from hypoxic injury by reducing intracellular oxidative stress, promoting high-energy compounds synthesis. Previous studies have shown that the protective effects of uridine are closely related to its effect on mitochondria. This review summarizes the effect of uridine on mitochondrial function.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the completion time of initial 30 mL/kg fluid resuscitation on the prognosis of patients with septic shock.Methods:An observational study was conducted. The inpatients with septic shock admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University and Jiangdu People's Hospital from October 1st, 2018 to September 30th, 2020 were enrolled. The general data including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), patient source, site of infection, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score and arterial blood lactic acid (Lac) at ICU admission, fluid resuscitation dose, completion time of initial 30 mL/kg fluid resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), length of ICU stay and 28-day mortality. The relationship between the completion time of initial 30 mL/kg fluid resuscitation and ΔSOFA score (the difference between SOFA score 3 hours of fluid resuscitation and initial SOFA score) was analyzed. In addition, according to the completion time (T) of initial 30 mL/kg fluid resuscitation, the patients were divided into T ≤ 1 hour group, 1 hour < T≤2 hours group, 2 hours < T≤3 hours group and T > 3 hours group, and the observation parameters among the groups were compared.Results:① A total of 131 patients were enrolled, including 94 males and 37 females with an average age of (68.3±15.0) years old. The median APACHE Ⅱ score was 27 (21, 34), the median of initial SOFA score was 12 (10, 14), the median of initial Lac was 5.0 (3.4, 7.1) mmol/L, and the most common source of infection was lung, with a total of 87 patients (66.41%). The completion time of initial 30 mL/kg fluid resuscitation and ΔSOFA score fitted the Logistic curve ( Y = -1.062 6 X2+4.407 9 X+0.961 8), which suggested that the early or late completion time of initial fluid resuscitation had adverse effects on the prognosis of patients with septic shock.② There was no significant difference in infection site, initial APACHE Ⅱ score, initial Lac, and initial SOFA score among different completion time of initial 30 mL/kg fluid resuscitation groups. The respiratory support rate, the incidence of AKI and the ratio of CRRT in the T ≤1 hour group were significantly higher than those in the 1 hour < T≤2 hours group, 2 hours < T≤3 hours group and T > 3 hours group (respiratory support rate: 78.57% vs. 75.51%, 42.86%, 75.00%; incidence of AKI: 57.14% vs. 20.41%, 21.43%, 50.00%; ratio of CRRT: 35.71% vs. 0%, 7.14%, 16.67%), the differences among the groups were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The 28-day mortality was the highest in the T ≤ 1 hour group (64.29%), and the lowest in the 1 hour < T ≤2 hours group (22.45%), 35.71% in the 2 hours < T ≤ 3 hours group, 33.33% in the T > 3 hours, and the difference among the groups was statistically significant ( P < 0.01). Conclusions:Completion of initial 30 mL/kg fluid resuscitation in 1-2 hours after septic shock may reduce the 28-day mortality and improve organ dysfunction, and initial fluid resuscitation prematurely or too late may increase 28-day mortality. But further research and verification are needed.

Septic shock is a serious stage of sepsis with a hospital mortality rate of more than 40%. The pathophysiology of septic shock is vasodilation and increased permeability. Fluid resuscitation, vasopressor drugs are usually used to maintain the perfusion pressure of the main organs. However, infectious patients usually have the irresponsive vessel to catecholamines and may lead to obvious side effects using high doses of norepinephrine or dopamine. Recent studies have shown that vasopressin (AVP) improves hemodynamics, increases tissue perfusion, and synergizes with norepinephrine in patients with septic shock, showing extent application prospects in the treatment of septic shock. The practice of AVP in septic shock is reviewed in this article in order to provide a reference for clinicians.
