Objective To investigate the effect of stage 1 acute kidney injury (AKI) on the prognosis of patients underwent cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) cardiac operation. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted. All patients aged ≥ 18 years who underwent cardiac operation with CPB admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital from July 1st, 2013 to December 31st, 2015 were enrolled. According to the standard of serum creatinice (SCr) of Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, the AKI patients with stage 1 and non-AKI patients were served as the research objects. Perioperative clinical data of two groups were collected, and the prognosis was recorded during follow up to draw the Kaplan-Meier survival curve. Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of prognosis in patients with stage 1 AKI experienced CPB during cardiac operation. Results A total of 5 823 patients were enrolled, of which 1 285 patients with AKI, and those in stage 1 was 998, accounting for 77.67% of total AKI patients; and 4 538 in non-AKI group. The mean follow-up period among survivors was (23.13±12.28) months. Compared with non-AKI patients, 30-day mortality of patients with stage 1 AKI was significantly increased [4.00% (40/998) vs. 0.40% (18/4 538), P < 0.01]. It was showed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis that the cumulative survival rate of patients with stage 1 AKI was significantly lower than that of non-AKI patients (log-rank = 51.989, P < 0.001). It was showed by further subgroup analysis that the cumulative survival rate of patients with stage 1 AKI without serum creatinine (SCr) recovery was significantly lower than that of patients with SCr recovery from stage 1 AKI (log-rank = 43.580, P = 0.000). It was showed by Cox multivariate analysis that stage 1 AKI [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.725, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.810-4.230, P = 0.000] and prolonged CPB in patients undergoing cardiac operation (HR = 1.013, 95%CI = 1.001-1.017, P = 0.000), combined with coronary heart disease (HR = 1.046, 95%CI = 1.010-1.063, P = 0.005) and diabetes mellitus (HR = 1.060, 95%CI = 1.010-1.090, P = 0.002) were independent risk factors of death in patients undergoing CPB during cardiac operation. Conclusion Stage 1 AKI is the main stage of AKI and it is independently related to all-cause mortality in patients underwent cardiovascular operation using CPB.

BACKGROUND:O-arm navigation integrates CT image quality and the flexible mobility of the C-arm. Surgery for severe spinal deformity is very difficult, with high incidence of nerve injury, so it is a chalenging surgery for spinal surgery. The role of O-arm in the correction of spinal deformity is particularly important. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect and safety of pedicle screw placement in severe spinal deformity under the guidance of O-arm navigation system. METHODS:Clinical data of 25 patients with severe spinal deformity with the aid of O-arm navigation were retrospectively analyzed. We observed pedicle screw insertion, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, correction of scoliosis and correction of kyphosis, and assessed the safety of screw insertion. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Totaly 326 pedicle screws were implanted in 25 patients. According to NEO classification, 280 pedicle screws (92%) belonged to grade 0 (no perforation of pedicle cortex). Grade 1: perforation of pedicle cortex, < 2 mm, including 44 screws (8%); grade 2: perforation of pedicle cortex, > 2 mm, < 4 mm, including 0 screw (0%); grade 3: perforation of pedicle cortex, > 4 mm, including 0 screw (0%). (2) Operation time was (272.3±17.3) minutes. Intraoperative blood loss was (1 710.0±229.1) mL. (3) Cobb angle of scoliosis was changed from (70.5±6.0)° preoperatively to (22.8±4.8)° postoperatively. Cobb angle of kyphosis was changed from (72.0±5.2)° preoperatively to (28.1±5.7)° postoperatively. Significant differences were detected (P< 0.05). (4) These findings verify that with the guide of the O-arm navigation system, the accuracy of screw insertion is high. The risk of intraoperative nerve injury was reduced. The scoliosis and kyphosis deformity were improved effectively.

The medical records of patients underwent thoracic surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) from July 1,2013 to May 30,2014 were collected and reviewed,the patients who developed postsurgical acute kidney injury (increase in postsurgical serum creatinine＞26.6 μmol/L) during hospital stay were excluded,and a total of 1 509 cases were enrolled in the study.Age,gender,body weight,presurgical complications,presurgical ejection fraction,serum concentration of creatinine on presurgical day 1,CPB duration during surgery,aortic clamping time,volume of blood transfused,duration of intensive care unit stay,mechanical ventilation time,length of hospital stay,and the highest serum concentration of creatinine were collected.The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the increase in postsurgical serum creatinine concentrations (the difference between the highest serum concentration of creatinine during hospital stay and the serum concentration of creatinine on presurgical day 1):no increase in creatinine group (n =508) and minimal increase in creatinine group (increase in postsurgical serum creatinine concentrations≤26.6 μmol/L,n=1 001).All the patients were followed up by telephone,and the fatality was recorded.Kaplan-Meier and log-rank analyses were used to analyze the survival condition,and the risk factors for fatality were identified by using multivariate Cox regression analysis.Compared with no increase in creatinine group,age was significantly increased,the constituent ratios of coronary heart disease,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,and pulmonary hypertension were significantly increased,CPB duration and length of hospital stay were significantly prolonged (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the fatality rate on postsurgical day 30 in minimal increase in creatinine group (P＞0.05).The patients were followed up for (298±104) days,and Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the long-term fatality rate was significantly higher in minimal increase in creatinine group than in no increase in creatinine group (P＜0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age,presurgical coronary heart disease,CPB duration and minimal increase in postsurgical creatinine were the risk factors for fatality,and among these factors,minimal increase in postsurgical creatinine resulted in a 9％ increase in the fatality rate.In conclusion,minimal increase in postsurgical creatinine can not only prolong the length of hospital stay,but also increase the long-term fatality rate in the patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB.

Objective To explore the changes of pubescent immune response in the schizophrenia offspring induced by poly(I:C) during pregnancy and the effects on white matter.Methods The obtained pregnant rats were randomly divided into model group(n=6) and control group (n=5), receiving either poly (I:C) at a dose of 10 mg/kg diluted in 0.9％ NaC1 solution or vehicle solution alone (sterile pyrogen-free 0.9％ NaC1) on gestation day 9 (GD9).Immunohistochemical technique(IHC) was applied to detect the changes of microglias and astrocytes in the prefrontal cortex(PFC) and hippocampus(HC) of partly offsprings in the two groups at the sixth week,as well as Luxol fast blue(LFB) for the changes of white matter.The other offsprings of each group were selected for behavioral assessment at the eighth week.Results The results of prepulse inhibition test showed that PP2, PP4 and PP8 of model groups were significantly lower than that of the control group at young adult(P＜0.01).In passive avoidance test, and the T1 results of model group were significantly higher than those of the control group, the T results of model group were lower than those of control group (P＜ 0.01).Immunohistochemical results indicated that the number of microglias in the model group((264±33)/mm2, (271 ±38)/mm2) was significantly increased in PFC and HC than that in the control group((140±29)/mm2, (169±37)/mm2, P＜0.05) ,which was accompanied with significant morphological changes, while the OD value of astrocyte protein expression in the frontal lobe and hippocampus had no obvious difference between the model group and control group(P＞0.05).The OD value of LFB staining for myelin in the model group(0.29±0.02) was significantly decreased compared with that in the control group(0.33±0.03)(P＜0.01).Conclusion The young adult offsprings with prenatal infection present obvious schizophrenia-like behavior, meanwhile, the microglias activation and demyelination changes in white matter are observed,which provides more evidence for the relationship between immune response and white matter in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.

Aim To observe the effects of glucose-stim-ulated insulin secretion ( GSIS ) on rat islets after S1 P treatments and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods Collagenase P and Histopaque 1077 were used to digest and isolate rat pancreatic islets, and Dispase II was used to digest pancreatic islet to obtain pancreatic cells. Insulin secretions were measured after S1P (0~20 μmol·L-1 ) treatment under low glucose ( LG, 2. 8 mmol·L-1 ) and high glucose ( HG, 16. 7 mmol·L-1 ) conditions. Patch-clamp recordings were applied to monitor voltage-dependent potassium chan-nel currents (Kv currents) after S1P treatment. Calci-um image technique was used to measure the changes of intracellular Ca2+ concentration after S1P ( 0 ~20μmol·L-1 ) treatments. Results HG group signifi-cantly increased insulin secretion compared to LG group ( P<0. 01 ) . S1 P had no effect on insulin se-cretion under LG condition ( P>0. 05 ) . S1 P increased insulin secretion significantly in a dose-dependent man-ner under HG condition ( P<0. 01 ) . Kv currents ofβcells were inhibited significantly after S1 P treatment ( P<0. 01 ) . S1 P increased the concentrations of in-tracellular Ca2+ in a dose-dependent manner under HG condition( P <0. 01) . Conclusion S1P may pro-mote GSIS by inhibiting Kv currents and increasing the level of intracellular Ca2+.

Objective To compare the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced helical CT (CECT) for various small focal nodular lesions (≤2 cm) in patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods Eighty-one small hepatic space-occupying lesions in 72 patients with liver cirrhosis were detected with CEUS and CECT, respectively. The diagnostic performance was calculated by histological results obtained from biopsy or surgery, which was considered as the gold standard, Results Fifty-three of the 81 small nodules were hepatocellular carcinoma, 26 were regenerative nodules and 2 were hemangioma. On CEUS, 51 (96.2%,51/53) HCC were hypervascular during arterial phase. On CECT, 41 (77.4%, 41/53) HCC were hypervascular (P < 0.01).Nodules which appeared by contrast enhancement during the arterial phase and contrast wash-out during the portal/late phase on CEUS or CECT were considered as HCC. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 86.8% (46/53) ,82.1% (23/28) ,and 85.2 % (69/81) in CEUS, and 73.6% (39/53), 92.9 % (26/28), and 80.2 % (65/81) in CECT, respectively. Overall, there was no significant difference between CEUS and CECT in the diagnostic confidence for small hepatic nodules (P >0.05).Conclusions CEUS is superior to CECT in the detection of arterial vascularization for small hepatocellular carcinoma with a diameter ≤2 cm. The ability of CEUS in the characterization of focal nodular lesions in cirrhotic livers is similar to that of CECT.
