Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and to evaluate prognosis of critically ill patients who developed acute renal failure(ARF).Methods A retrospective study was carried out in critically ill patients who developed ARF.APACHE Ⅱ,SAPSⅡ,SOFA and ATN-ISI were used to evaluate outcome of ARF.Results The incidence of ARF in critically ill patients was 19.1% with a high mortality(51.2%).The clinical characteristics of 41 patients with ARF were:mechanical ventilation 65.9%,vasopressor support 46.3%,oliguria 41.5%,number of insufficient organs 2.16,APACHEⅡscore 17.3,SAPSⅡ score 52.0,SOFA score 9.26 and ATN-ISI 0.54.By COX regression,number of insufficient organs(RR 2.54;95%CI 1.316 ~ 4.913)(P=0.006)and requirement of mechanical ventilation(RR 6.0;95%CI 1.102~32.6)(P=0.038)were independent risk factors for ICU mortality of ARF.APACHEⅡscore,SAPSⅡscore,SOFA score and ATN-ISI were demonstrated to predict mortality of ARF patients accurately as indicated by areas under the receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curves of 0.848(95% CI: 0.722~0.974;P

Objective To study the effect of fosinopril on the expression of NADPH oxidase subunit p22phox mRNA and the extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation in the kidneys of rats with diabetes mellitus . Methods Diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin were randomly divided into control group(DM group) and fosinopril group (fosinopril 10 mg'kg-1·d-1) (DM+Fosin group) and treated for 12 weeks . Expression of p22phox mRNA of NADPH oxidase in kidneys was measured by RT-PCR . The expression of fibroneetin was studied by immunohistochemistry and matrix metalloproteinases 9 activity was detected by Zymography . Meanwhile, the kidney hypertrophy index, serum creatinine level and 24-hour urinary protein excretion were evaluated . Results The expression level of p22phox mRNA in the kidneys of DM+Fosin group rats was decreased by 45% than that of DM group at week 4 (P<0 .05) . At week 8 fosinopril significantly decreased the expression of glomerular and tubulointerstitial fibronectin by 52,5% and 42 .9% respectively (P<0 .05), while increased MMP-9 activity by 29 .6% (P<0 .05) compared with DM group . Fosinopril significantly decreased 24-hour urinary protein excretion of diabetic rats from week 8 . Serum creatinine level, 24-hour urinary protein excretion and kidney hypertrophy index were significantly decreased by 35 .9%, 50 .2% and 17 .2% in rats of DM+Fosin group than those of DM group at week 12 (P<0 .05) . Fosinopril did not affect blood sugar significantly . Conclusion Fosinopril has beneficial effect on diabetic nephropathy partly through inhibiting the expression of NADPH oxidase p22 phox mRNA .

Objective To understand the status of mycoplasma infection and drug susceptibility to provide reference basis for clinical rational drug use.Methods The reagents kits produced by Shanghai Aopu Biopharmaceutical Co.,Ltd.were adopted to per-form the mycoplasma culture,identification and susceptibility test.Results Among 1 745 specimens,896 cases of mycoplasma in-fection were detected with the total detection rate of 51 .35%,including Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu)infection in 841 cases (48.19% ),Uu combined Mycoplasma hominis(Mh)infection in 92 cases(5.27% )and Mh infection in 17 cases(0.97%).The de-tection rate was 9.46% in males and 41 .89% in females,the infection rate in females was obviously higher than that of males.The results of drug susceptibility test showed that the sensitive rate to doxycycline,josamycin and minocycline was higher than 95%, while the resistant rate to norfloxacin and lincomycin was higher than 75%.Conclusion Mycoplasma infection in this hospital is dominated by Uu.Doxycycline,josamycin and minocycline can be used as the empirical medication to treat mycoplasma infections in this hospital.But before clinical treatment,the mycoplasma culture and the drug susceptibility test should be performed as possible for rational and standardized medication.

Objective To improve the serum quality controlling level ,in order to regularize and standardize the laboratory processes .Methods Gallery of hemolysis ,lipidemia or icterus serum specimens was established by Roche cobas p612 QSI camera system .The trouble serum specimens were screened out through taking photos of interfere serum and comparing with the gallery . The serum indexes of hemolysis ,lipidemia and icterus were detected respectively as reference information of inspection report .Com‐paring the results of 16 710 specimens detected by system screening and visual judgment ,the accuracy of QSI camera system was verified .Results 195 trouble serum pictures were elected in the gallery .The compliance rates of hemolysis ,lipidemia and icterus se‐rum specimen between QSI camera system and visual judgment were 94 .2% ,87 .4% ,and 60 .9% respectively .Conclusion The QSI camera system can replace visual judgment to screen the trouble serum specimens .

0.05). CONCLUSION: Serum Cys C is significantly increased in ARF and correlated well with the severity of ARF. Serum Cys C can be one of the detectable markers of ARF, but it is independent of the mortality and does not predict the prognosis of these patients.

High mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) is a kind of nuclear protein widely existing in cells, which is released or secreted from cells by stress in the body and plays a key role in the survival or death pathways of cells. HMGB1 has a huge biological function and is the main regulator of major diseases such as inflammatory diseases and tumors. HMGB1 is closely related to the proliferation, differentiation, migration, apoptosis and drug resistance of tumor cells. With the continuous deepening of research on HMGB1, it is found that HMGB1 plays an important role in the occurrence, development, metastasis and drug resistance of breast cancer. Combined with the research status of HMGB1, the expression of HMGB1 in breast cancer is discussed to provide a new therapeutic scheme for clinical treatment.
