Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods The clinical data of 438 patients with severe pneumonia who were admitted in the intensive care unit in 2016 were retrospectively analyzed for analysis of AKI and assessment of risk factors. Results Among the 438 patients with severe pneumonia,the incidence of AKI was 53.42%. Within 72 hours after admission into the ICU, 86.75% of them developed AKI mainly from hypovolemic or septic shock(accounting for 80.34%). The detection rate of AKI by the standards of RIFLE and AKIN was lower than by the standards of KDIGO (45.89%,48.17%vs. 53.42%). Anemia ,shock /hypotension ,drugs ,RRT ,APPACHE II scores were the predictors of AKI. Conclusions The incidence of severe pneumonia complicated with AKI is high. Most of the patients develop it in 72 hours after admission into the ICU. Anemia,shock/hypotension,drugs,RRT,APPACHE II scores are its risk factors.

AIM: To investigate the effect of 5 - fluorouracil ( 5 - FU ) on the expression of the stem cell marker CD133 on colon cancer stem cells. METHODS:CD133 expression on several colon cancer cell lines was detected by flow cytometry. The CD133 positive cells from DLD1 cells were separated by the method of magnetic activated cell separation. Colony assay was used to measure self - renew ability and MTS assay was used to detect the sensitivity to 5 - FU after separation. After 5 - FU treatment, the change of CD133 mRNA level was measured by qPCR. RESULTS: CD133 expression on the surface of colon cacner cell lines DLD1, HT29, SW480, HCT116, Lovo, RKO was 30.20% , 82.00% , 0.34% , 91.80% , 85.30% , 0.28% respectively. DLD1 cells had two obvious populations according to CD133 expression. CD133 positive cells were separated from DLD1 cells, the positive purity was 87.21% ±5.33% and the negative purity was 84.30% ±4.65%. CD133 positive cells formed more colonies with limited dilution colony assay (46.33% ±4.44% vs 31.00% ±2.00% , P <0.05). CD133 positive cells were less sensitive to 5 - FU compared to CD133 negative cells(20% less, P <0.01). 5 - FU at concentration of 1 mg/L upregulated CD133 mRNA expression in both DLD1 and HT29 cells, the relative quantity was increased from 1 to 1.684 ±0.012(P <0.01 )and 30.702 ±0.280 to 49.379 ±0.460(P <0.01) in HT29 and DLD1, respectively. CONCLUSION: Compared to CD133 negative cells, CD133 positive cells show more ability to form colonies in vitro, and are less sensitive to 5 - FU. 5 - FU upregulats the mRNA expression of CD133, resulting in the CD133 colon cancer stem cells enrichment during 5 - FU treatment.

Objective:To explore the correlation between glycemic control of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and brachial-ankle pulse velocity (baPWV). Methods:A community-based cross-sec-tional study was conducted in Beijing, China. Every subject underwent physical examinations, glycated hemoglobin ( HbA1 c ) , blood lipid and baPWV measurements and completed a standardized question-naire. T2DM patients were divided into well controlled and poorly controlled groups according to HbA1c levels. The correlation between glycemic control of T2DM patients and baPWV was analyzed. Results:In this study, 1 341 subjects were recruited, including 733 T2DM patients and 608 non-diabetes sub-jects. Compared with non-diabetes subjects, abnormal baPWV ( baPWV≥1 700 cm/s) rate for T2DM patients was higher (40. 8% vs. 26. 8%, P<0. 001). With HbA1c<6. 5% or <7. 0% as the aim of glycemic control in T2DM patients, the abnormal baPWV rates for non-diabetes subjects, well controlled and poorly controlled T2DM patients were significantly different (non-diabetes vs. HbA1c<6. 5% T2DM vs. HbA1c≥6. 5% T2DM: 26. 8% vs. 32. 8% vs. 42. 6%, P <0. 001; non-diabetes vs. HbA1c <7. 0% T2DM vs. HbA1c≥7. 0% T2DM:26. 8% vs. 36. 1% vs. 43. 4%, P<0. 001). After being ad-justed for gender, age, smoking status, diabetes mellitus family history, T2DM duration, cardiovascular diseases ( CVD ) , waist hip ratio ( WHR ) , systolic blood pressure ( SBP ) , diastolic blood pressure ( DBP) , total triglycerides ( TG) , high density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C) , and low density lipo-protein cholesterol ( LDL-C ) , the Logistic regression models suggested that glycemic control status of T2DM patients was associated with abnormal baPWV. Compared with non-diabetes subjects, the ORs for abnormal baPWV in HbA1 c <6 . 5% T2 DM patients and HbA1 c≥6 . 5% T2 DM patients were 0 . 927 (95%CI 0. 560-1. 537) and 1. 826 (95%CI 1. 287-2. 591). Compared with non-diabetes subjects, the ORs for abnormal baPWV in HbA1c<7. 0% T2DM patients and HbA1c≥7. 0% T2DM patients were 1. 210 (95%CI 0. 808-1. 811) and 1. 898 (95%CI 1. 313-2. 745). Conclusion:The glycemic con-trol status of T2DM patients from communities is significantly associated with baPWV. Poor glycemic con-trol is a risk factor for abnormal baPWV. Keeping HbA1c under control might lower the risk of cardiovas-cular diseases in T2DM patients.

Purpose:
Fractionated radiotherapy as well as concomitant and adjuvant chemotherapy such astemozolomide for postoperative high-grade glioma (HGG) patients improves progressionfreesurvival and overall survival. Multiple factors such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy,tumor grade, residual tumor volume, and genetic modifications might play a role in the formationof cognitive impairment. The risk factors of cognitive impairment in postoperativepatients with HGG receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy remains a concern in this population.The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for cognitive impairment inpatients of postoperative HGG.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 229 patients with HGG who underwent surgery were analyzed. Cognitive impairmentwas defined as a decrease of Cognitive Assessment Montreal (MoCA)’s score in atleast two cognitive domains or any MoCA’s score of less than 26 points at the time of studycompared with baseline level. Multiple potential risk factors including methylated status ofthe O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter, glioma World HealthOrganization (WHO) grade, residual tumor volume, education, and sex were analyzed. Coxunivariate and multivariate regression analysis was used to detect the significant risk factorsfor cognitive impairment.
Results:
At the end of follow-up among the 229 patients, 147 patients (67%) developed cognitiveimpairment. 82 patients (36%) remained in normal cognitive condition. In multivariate analysis,unmethylated MGMT promoter (hazard ratio [HR], 1.679; 95% confidence interval [CI],1.212 to 2.326; p=0.002), glioblastoma (HR, 1.550; 95% CI, 1.117 to 2.149; p=0.009),and residual tumor volume > 5.58 cm3 (HR, 1.454; 95% CI, 1.047 to 2.020; p=0.026) wereindependent risk factors for cognitive impairment.
Conclusion
Methylated status of the MGMT promoter, glioma WHO grade, and residual tumor volumemight be risk factors for the cognitive impairment in postoperative patients with HGG.
