Metabolome has become an important part of Systems Biology, and a large set of data has already gained by applying the methods of metabolome. How to deal with the data and how to combine data of metabolome with data of other omics are problems that can not be ignored. An Enzyme Amount Multiple Factor was imported into the enzyme kinetic equation. When the enzyme amount in the system changed, in silico model, it means to alter the Enzyme Amount Multiple Factor. In order to observe ethanol concentration response to enzyme amount changes in S. cerevisiae glycolysis pathway model, enzyme amount was separately set at high and low level, the corresponding Enzyme Amount Multiple Factor value was 10 and 0.1, relatively. Based on the result of simulation, twelve enzymes in pathway were separated into two classes, class I and class II by cluster analysis. The four enzymes belonging to class I, ADH, HK, PFK and PDC, all catalyze irreversible reactions. The six out of eight enzymes belonging to class II, ALD, GAPDH, GlcTrans, lpPEP, PGI and TIM, catalyze reversible reactions. The other two enzymes belonging to class II, lpGlyc and PK, catalyze irreversible reactions. Based on this method, data of metabolome and proteomics are easily integrated to accomplish relatively overall analysis of system properties.

OBJECTIVETo retrospectively analysis the treatment characteristics of the systemic situation in patients with crush syndrome after Wenchuan earthquake happened in May 12th, 2008.
METHODSForty-nine patients with crush syndrome and subsequent acute renal failure (ARF) due to the earthquake were treated in West China Hospital. All of patients had been rescued from buildings that collapsed in Wenchuan earthquake. The major associated injuries were in the low extremities and upper extremities. 49 patients developed ARF with increased concentrations of serum creatinine (mean 64 022 U/L) had underwent haemodialysis. Hyperkalaemia was seen in 9 patients and four of them underwent haemodialysis. 49 patients were administered hemodialysis.
RESULTSNo patient died. All patients who suffered from the ARF were weaned from hemodialysis after admitted 7 to 35 days. Forty-five extremities underwent amputations and 52 extremities had fasciotomy.
CONCLUSIONSCrush syndrome requires urgent recognition and prompt surgical treatment with simultaneous measures to control hyperkalemia and ARF. The authors believe that immediate intensive care therapy and multi-subjective coordination would have improved the survival rate.
