Objective To determine the random spot albuminuria to creatinine ratio (ACR) of normal pregnant women , to track the pregnancy outcome , and to discuss the predictive value of ACR in women with hy-pertensive disorders complicating pregnancy (HDCP). Methods Except for 87 pregnant women suffering from HDCP, 2 038 pregnant women were enrolled in this study. ACR, routine examinations of blood and urine, blood biochemical, 24-hr urinary protein were determined. Results ACR, but not 24-hr urinary protein level,was sig-nificantly higher in women with HDCP. There was positive correlation between the ACR and 24-hr urinary protein quantitation. Age, gestational weeks, ACR, red blood cells, fasting plasma glucose, serum creatinine, total pro-tein were the independent risk factors for HDCP. The sensitivity , specificity and optimal cut off value of ACR for predicting HDCP were 0.78, 0.63, 1.46 mg/mmol. Conclusions There was positive correlation between ACR and 24-hr urinary protein quantitation , and ACR provided a more sensitive pathway for early predictionof HDCP.

The damage and death of retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)are central pathological events in optic nerve injury, leading to irreversible visual impairment. Autophagy, a regulated process of cellular degradation and death, is involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including tumors, neurological damage, and autoimmune disorders. Current research indicates that autophagy is significantly upregulated following optic nerve injury, exhibiting a dual role: while it may mediate cellular damage in the early stages, it tends to promote neuroprotection and axonal regeneration in later phases. Moreover, the activation of autophagy in microglia may play a crucial role in regulating their activation phenotype and neuroinflammation. Precisely modulating autophagy to promote RGCs survival and improve visual function has become a key challenge in the treatment of optic nerve injury. This review summarizes the role of autophagy in optic nerve injury and its therapeutic interventions.
