Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) receiving percutaneous drainage (PCD). Methods Clinical data of SAP patients receiving PCD admitted to department of hepatobiliary surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from November 11th 2015 to May 13th 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into CRRT group and control group according to whether or not receiving CRRT. Demographic data, relevant variables before and after PCD, complication and outcome were all compared. Results A total of 75 patients were included in the study, 30 were treated with application of CRRT and 45 without CRRT. ① There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index (BMI), medical history (smoking, drinking), complications (cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, diabetes, chronic renal insufficiency), etiology (gallstone, alcohol abuse, hyperlipidemia and others), or white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), serum procalcitonin (PCT), fluid resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, vasoactive agent or intra-abdominal pressure within 48 hours after admission between the two groups. However, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score within 48 hours after admission of CRRT group was significantly higher than that of control group (18.3±4.5 vs. 12.8±6.2, P < 0.05). ② There was no significant difference in WBC, PCT, APACHEⅡ score or computed tomography severity index (CTSI) before PCD between the two groups. There was no significant difference in the position or times of PCD procedure between the two groups, but the time interval of PCD in the CRRT group was significantly longer than that in the control group (days: 19.4±5.4 vs. 12.8±2.2, P < 0.05). Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in drainage of fluid properties, incidence of abdominal bleeding, infection, gastrointestinal fistula, endoscopic removal of necrotic tissue, laparotomy for removal of necrotic tissue or the time from PCD to endoscopy or laparotomy between two groups. However, the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay and the length of hospital stay in the CRRT group were significantly longer than those in the control group (days: 23.2±8.5 vs. 15.3±12.1, 51.2±21.2 vs. 31.2±14.0, both P < 0.01). ③ Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there was no significant differences in 1-year or 3-year cumulative survival rates between the two groups (χ21 = 0.097, P1 = 0.755; χ22 = 0.013, P2 = 0.908). Conclusions CRRT is safe and feasible in the treatment of SAP patients receiving PCD procedure. It does not increase the risk of bleeding and may delay the time interval of PCD intervention. However, it may prolong the length of ICU stay and the length of hospital stay. It should be worthy of much attention for clinicians.

Objective To get an understanding of the patient experience in public hospitals nationwide, and to evaluate the implementation of the Action Plan to Improve Health Care. Methods Supported by the mobile technology, from September 6, 2017 to December 15, 2018, the authors conducted an online survey that measured the satisfaction of both inpatients and outpatients at secondary and tertiary hospitals across the country. 15 questions from six dimensions including registration experience, patient-doctor communication, nurse-patient communication, the healthcare signage system, responsiveness of care providers and privacy protection were prepared for outpatients, while 20 questions from nine aspects such as nurse-patient communication, patient-doctor communication, pain management, medication communication, admission and discharge information, responsiveness of care-givers, food service, friendliness to patient family, and the healthcare signage system were directed at inpatients. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to describe the basic features of the data. Results 9.18 million valid responses from outpatients and another 5.38 million from inpatients were obtained. The overall satisfaction rate with outpatient services had reached a score of 90.45 points where nurse-patient communication stands out as the top-rated dimension and privacy protection gets the lowest rating. On the other hand, the inpatient satisfaction stands at a score of 93.01 with friendliness to patient family receiving the top score and patient-doctor communication the lowest. Conclusions Despite the positive feedback Chinese patients give on the outpatient care they receive, we should make efforts to improve the outpatient care environment, the wayfinding system, privacy protection, and responsiveness of care-givers.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oXiris hemofilter for septic shock patients. Methods Clinical data of septic shock patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) with oXiris hemofilter in department of surgical intensive care unit (SICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from March 1st, 2018 to July 20th, 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2), lactate (Lac), platelet count (PLT), serum procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP), noradrenaline (NE) dosage, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ) and sequential organ failure score (SOFA) were compared before and after oXiris treatment and the prognosis were also analyzed. Results Six patients with septic shock were included [5 males, the average age was (56.3±11.8) years old]. A total of 13 oXiris hemofilter sets were performed during treatment. Compared with before treatment, the HR, IL-6 and CRP levels were significantly decreased after treatment [HR (bpm): 93.8±9.7 vs. 133.5± 18.3, IL-6 (ng/L): 509.2±169.6 vs. 3739.8±618.2, CRP (mg/L): 169.1±148.3 vs. 277.8±68.7, all P < 0.05], MAP, PaO2/FiO2 and PLT were significantly increased [MAP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 73.3±2.2 vs. 63.3±1.6, PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg): 166.8±40.4 vs. 95.1±56.2, PLT (×109/L): 73.3±27.5 vs. 41.2±21.4, all P < 0.05]; meanwhile, NE dosage, APACHEⅡ and SOFA scores were significantly decreased [NE (μg·kg-1·min-1): 0.4±0.3 vs. 1.2±0.7, APACHEⅡ:18.8±6.9 vs. 30.0±7.3, SOFA: 11.7±4.2 vs. 17.3±2.1, all P < 0.05]. Although Lac and PCT decreased after treatment, there was no significant difference [Lac (mmol/L): 3.5±2.1 vs. 6.1±3.2, PCT (μg/L): 37.7±48.3 vs. 85.1±32.8, both P > 0.05]. At the end, 3 of the 6 patients survived and the others were discharged again medical advice. The length of SICU stay was 3 to 23 days, with an average of (13.0±8.5) days. No adverse events occurred during the treatment. Conclusion oXiris hemofilter can effectively remove inflammatory mediators in circulation, significantly improve hemodynamic status and severity, and may be considered as a safe and reliable treatment modality for septic shock patients.

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) have the characteristics of resistance to environmental degradation, bioaccumulation and long-distance migration potential. Maternal exposure to POPs during pregnancy can enter the fetal blood circulation through the placental barrier, and have a potential impact on the functional development of the nervous system of the offspring. This in turn leads to the occurrence and development of neurological defects and diseases in adulthood. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the effects of exposure to three major POPs (organochlorine compounds, perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers) during pregnancy on the functional development of the nervous system (social emotions, cognition, language, exercise, and adaptability) in children, and to provide reference for subsequent studies.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Qidi Tangshen prescription (QDTS) in alleviating podocyte injury and reducing urinary protein in diabetic nephropathy (DN). MethodUsing network pharmacology methods, we collected the chemical components and targets of QDTS, as well as the targets related to DN. Subsequently, we constructed a "drug-ingredient-target-disease" network for QDTS in the treatment of DN to systematically elucidate the mechanism. The db/db mice were assigned into the model, QDTS (3.34 g·kg-1), and losartan capsules (10.29 mg·kg-1) groups, and db/m mice served as the normal group. Each group consisted of 8 mice, and they underwent continuous intervention for 8 weeks. After the last administration, mice were euthanized, and the urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) and renal pathological changes were measured and observed. The expression levels of protein kinase B1 (Akt1), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), phosphorylated B-cell lymphoma-extra-large (p-Bcl-xl), as well as autophagy-related indicators microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), ubiquitin-binding protein p62 (p62), and autophagy-related gene 6 homolog (Beclin1), were determined. Furthermore, mouse podocytes were divided into the normal glucose (5.5 mmol·L-1), high glucose (35 mmol·L-1), DMSO (35 mmol·L-1 glucose+200 mg·L-1 DMSO), and QDTS (35 mmol·L-1 glucose+200 mg·L-1 QDTS freeze-dried powder) groups. After 48 h of intervention, the protein levels of Akt1, HIF-1α, p-Bcl-xl, LC3, p62, and Beclin1 in podocytes were measured. ResultQDTS had 34 active components acting on 143 targets in the treatment of DN, and 55 targets were related to autophagy, in which Akt1, HIF-1α, and Bcl-xl were the key targets. Compared with the normal group, mice in the model group exhibited significantly increased UAER, glomerular hypertrophy, deposition of blue collagen fibers, thickening of the glomerular basement membrane, and noticeable fusion of podocyte foot processes in some segments. Furthermore, the modeling up-regulated the protein levels of p-Akt1, HIF-1α, and p62 and down-regulating the protein levels of p-Bcl-xl, LC3, and Beclin1 in the renal tissue (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, QDTS and losartan decreased UAER (P<0.05) and alleviated the pathological damage in the renal tissue. Moreover, QDTS and losartan down-regulated the protein levels of p-Akt1, HIF-1α, and p62 and up-regulated the protein levels of p-Bcl-xl, LC3, and Beclin1 in the renal tissue (P<0.05). In comparison to the normal glucose group, the high glucose group displayed up-regulated protein levels of p-Akt1, HIF-1α, and p62 and down-regulated protein levels of p-Bcl-xl, LC3, and Beclin1 in podocytes (P<0.05). Compared with the high glucose group, QDTS down-regulated the protein levels of p-Akt1, HIF-1α, and p62 and up-regulated the protein levels of p-Bcl-xl, LC3, and Beclin1 in podocytes (P<0.05). ConclusionQDTS alleviates podocyte damage and reduced urinary protein in DN by regulating the Akt1/HIF-1α/Bcl-xl signaling pathway, thereby enhancing podocyte autophagy.
