Clinical Medicine of China 2021;37(3):264-269
Objective:To explore the value of using risk-stratifcation of mergency department suspected sepsis score(REDS) score in the prognosis of patients with sepsis.Methods:The clinical data of sepsis patients hospitalized in Huangshan Shoukang hospital from January 2018 to February 2020 were collected for retrospective case-control study.The REDS, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score and mortality in emergency department(MEDS) of all cases were calculated.To evaluate the value of REDS in prognosis of patients with sepsis by comparing REDS with APACHEⅡ and MEDS.Results:Finally 103 patients were enrolled in the study, including 65 males (63.11%) and 38 females (36.89%); the age ranged from 42 to 93 years old, the median (quartile) was 74 (65, 82) years old; 72 patients (69.91%) survived (survival group), 31 patients (30.09%) died (death group). There were significant differences between survival group and death group in REDS((5.28±2.10) score vs.(7.87±2.53) score), MEDS score ((6.64±3.32) score vs.(9.06±3.3) score), APACHE Ⅱ score ((18.96±6.72) score vs.(21.87±6.15) score) (t value were5.404, 3.381 and 2.067, respectively; P value were<0.001, 0.001 and 0.041, respectively). Youden index was biggest(0.381), when REDS was 7.5.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.777 (95% CI: 0.678-0.876, P<0.001). When APACHE Ⅱ score was 19.5, Youden index was the largest (0.177), and the area under the ROC of APACHEⅡwas 0.614(95% CI: 0.499-0.729, P=0.068). When the MEDS score was 10.5, Youden index was the largest (0.341), and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.696 (95% CI: 0.590-0.802, P=0.002). The area under the curve of working characteristics of the subjects with red score was larger than that of APACHE Ⅱ score ( Z=1.987, P=0.046). Conclusion:REDS has a good effect in judging the condition and prognosis of patients with sepsis, which is equivalent to MEDS score, but better than APACHEⅡ.

Objective: To investigate the effect of interleukin-8 (IL-8) on survival and apoptosis of hypoxic human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with its mechanisms.
Methods: Hypoxic HUVECs were induced by CoCl2. HUVECs were cultured with different concentrations of CoCl2 or IL-8 and the survival rates of HUVECs were examined. Normal or hypoxic HUVECs were incubated with IL-8 or simultaneously incubated with anti-IL-8 or Akt inhibitor LY294002 for 48h. The HUVECs survival rate was detected by MTT method, apoptosis rate was measured by Annexin V-FITC/PI method, the protein expressions of Caspase-3, phosphorylated Akt (pAkt) and GSK-3βser9 (pGSK-3βser9) were evaluated by Western blot analysis.
Results: By 12 h incubation with low concentration of CoCl2 (50, 100 μmol/L), HUVECs proliferation were improved, P<0.01; while by 24h and 48 h incubation with high concentration of CoCl2 (200, 400 μmol/L) HUVECs survival were decreased. By 48h and 72h incubation with IL-8 at (10, 50, 100 ng/ml), the hypoxia induced cell apoptosis was decreased and the survival was increased,P<0.01. IL-8 at 10 ng/ml may obviously inhibit the normal and hypoxic HUVECs apoptosis, down-regulate caspase-3 and up-regulate pAkt and pGSK-3βser9 expressions in HUVECs,P<0.01, while the above effects could be reversed by LY294002 and anti-IL-8,P<0.01.
Conclusion: IL-8 could down-regulate caspase-3 and up-regulate pAkt and pGSK-3βser9 expressions in HUVECs and therefore, inhibit the apoptosis and improve the survival of hypoxic HUVECs.

objective To evaluate the influence of HLA matching and new immunosuppressants on pre-venting acute rejection of renal allograft in sensitized recipients. Methods 751 recipients underwent renal transplantation were enrolled in this study including 46 sensitized recipients (study group) with PRA be-tween 10%-90% and 705 non-sensitized recipients (control group) with PRA less than 10% pretransplant. All patients in the study group received induction course (ATG 100 mg/d, 5-7 d) plus triple-immunosup-pressive therapy including FK506 + MMF + steroid. The rate of acute rejection and delayed graft function after renal transplantation was analyzed. The influence of HLA matching on preventing acute rejection was al-so evaluated. Results The acute rejection rate in the study group and control group was 30.43% and 19. 57%, respectively, (P < 0.05). The rate of delayed graft function was 60.86% in the study group, signifi-cantly higher than that of the control group (11.87%). There was no statistically difference of one-year pa-tient / graft survival rotes between the two groups. The average serum creatinin levels at one-year posttrans-plantation were similar between the two groups (130 mmol/dl in the study group and 125 mmol/di in the control group). The average loci of HLA matching in the study group (4.2) was significantly higher than that in the control group (2.8). The acute rejection rate in the study group was significantly higher when lo-ci of HLA mismatch ranging from 2-4 compared with loci of HLA mismatch less than 2. The acute rejection rate was significantly higher in the highly sensitized recipients (PRA ranging from 50% -90% pretmnsplant) than that in the less sensitized (PRA ranging from 10% to 20% pretransplant) in the study group. Patients with higher PRA level posttransplantation were prone to developing acute rejection. Conclusion HLA matching and new immunosuppressants can reduce the incidence of acute rejection in sensitized recipi-ents and increase the survival rate of patients and allografts.
