Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of serum concentration of procalcitonin (PCT) in differential diagnosis of the etiology of bloodstream infections (BSI).Methods:Patients hospitalized in ICU of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January 2015 to June 2020 with BSI and with PCT test simultaneously when blood drawing for blood culture were enrolled. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) were calculated based on parameters on the day of blood culture. Difference of various indicators among different pathogen infections were compared. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve was used to analyze the value of PCT in differential diagnosis of BSI by different pathogens.Results:Among 1 456 patients with BSI,1 261 (86.6%) patients with monobacterial infection, 80 (5.5%) patients with candidiasis and 115 (7.9%) patients with mixed infection. The 28-day mortality was 24.5% (356/1 456) and the 60-day mortality was 30.6% (446/1456). Mortality of both 28-day and 60-day in the mixed group was significantly higher than that in the bacteriacemia group and candidemia group. PCT levels was significantly higher in patients with bacteremia caused by gram-negative bacteria (GNB) than that in gram-positive bacteria (GPB) infected bacteremia and candidemia {3.4 μg/L[95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.7-17.0 μg/L] vs 1.3 μg/L (95% CI 0.4-7.3 μg/L); 3.4μg/L (95% CI was 0.7-17.0 μg/L) vs 1.1 μg/L (95% CI was 0.4-3.4 μg/L); P<0.01} . ROC curve analysis showed that: ① the optimal cut-off value of PCT in differential diagnosis of monobacterial bacteremia and candidemia was 7.25 μg/L, with specificity of 90.0% and the area under the ROC curve (AUROC) was 0.612 (95% CI 0.533-0.691). When PCT value was greater than 0.51 μg/L, the sensitivity of diagnostic of bacteremia could reach 73.3%. ② the optimal cut-off value of PCT in differential diagnosis of bacteremia caused by GNB infection and candidemia was 7.32 μg/L, with specificity of 90.0% and AUROC was 0.695 (95% CI 0.614-0.776). When PCT value was greater than 0.51 μg/L, the sensitivity of diagnostic of bacteremia caused by GNB infection was 84.9%.③ the optimal cut-off value of PCT in differential diagnosis of bacteremia caused by GNB and GPB infection was 0.52 μg/L, with sensitivity of 84.9% and AUROC was 0.713 (95% CI 0.672-0.755). When PCT value was greater than 7.36 μg/L, the specificity of diagnostic of bacteremia caused by GNB infection could reach 80.1%. Conclusions:PCT can provide additional information about the possible etiology of patients with BSI, especially as high levels often indicate the possibility of GNB bacteremia.

OBJECTIVE: To study the role of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) and cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the onset of phlegm obstruction due to lung-deficiency in rats and the therapeutic mechanism of Huatan Recipe. METHODS: Twenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group and treatment group, with 8 rats in each group. The rats in the model group and treatment group were exposed to sulfur dioxide and cold wind to establish the rat model of phlegm obstruction due to lung-deficiency, and the rats in the treatment group were also treated with Huatan Recipe, a compound traditional Chinese medicine. The expression of NF-kappaB in the bronchial epithelial cells of the rats was tested with the method of immunohistochemistry, and the COX-2 mRNA in the lung tissues of the rats was measured by using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: The expressions of NF-kappaB and COX-2 mRNA in rats of the model group were higher than those of the normal group (P<0.01), and the expressions of NF-kappaB and COX-2 mRNA in rats of the treatment group were obviously lower than those of the model group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The NF-kappaB and COX-2 play an important role in the onset of phlegm obstruction in rats. Huatan Recipe may prevent the development of phlegm obstruction by down-regulating the expressions of NF-kappaB and COX-2 mRNA.

Objective To explore whether the antagonistic effect of decorin (DCN)on progression of glomeruloselerosis is associated with the inhibition of the expression of type I and type II transforming growth factor-? receptors (TGF-?R I and TGF-?R II )in mesangial cells (MsC). Methods RT-RCR and Western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of TGF-?R I and TGF-?R II mRNA and their proteins on cultured rat MsC stimulated by exogenous TGF-?1. Lipofectin-mediated method was used to transfect DCN vector into MsC. After screening and identifying of transfected MsC, RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were adapted to detect the changes of TGF-?R I and TGF-?R II expression respectively. Results The expression of TGF-?R I and TGF-?R II mRNA and their proteins on normal MsC stimulated by exogenous TGF-?1 increased in time-dependent manner and reached the peak at 24th hour. Compared with normal and untransfected MsC (1P-1), the mRNA and protein expression of TGF-?R I and TGF-?R II on MsC (3D-5, 7D-1) transfecled by DCN gene decreased significantly, and DCN gene transfection could antagonize the increase of mRNA and protein expression of both receptors caused by exogenous TGF-?1. Conclusions The expression of both TGF-?R I and TGF-?R II decreases obviously in MsC overexpressing DCN gene, which may be one of the importan antagonistic mechanisms of decorin involved in the development of glomeruloselerosis mediated by TGF-?.
