Objective To compare the clinical characteristics of community-acquired acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) and hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (HA-AKI) patients.Methods Hospital network system was employed to screen the clinical data of adult patients in the First Affiliated Hospital in Xinjiang Medical University in January to July 2013.A total of 19 528 patients were screened,and 544 AKI patients were identified based on KIDGO (Kidney Disease:Improving Global Outcomes) AKI guidelines.Three hundred and thirty patients were included in HA-AKI group and 214 patients in CA-AKI group.Clinical variables including mortality were analyzed retrospectively.Results The incidence of AKI in hospitalized patients was 2.8％ (544/19 528):1.7％ in CA-AKI group and 1.1％ in HA-AKI group.The mean age in CA-AKI group was significantly older than that in HA-AKI group [(62.9 ± 16.8) years vs (56.6± 15.9) years].Medical patients in CA-AKI group accounted for 62.4％,and surgical patients in HA-AKI group accounted for 64.1％.The co-morbid diseases were cardiac disease,hypertension,diabetes and chronic liver disease.Majority of AKI was caused by pre-renal etiologies.The length of hospitalization was significantly shorter in CA-AKI group compared to that in HA-AKI group [12(8,20) days vs 19 (12,27) days,P ＜ 0.01].Compared to that in HA-AKI group,all-cause mortality was significantly lower in CA-AKI group (11.5％ vs 20.1％,P=0.005).Results by multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the common independent risk factors of AKI in both groups were ICU hospitalization and shock.The independent risk factor of AKI in CA-AKI group was diabetes (OR=3.019).In contrary,the independent risk factors of AKI in HA-AKI group were elderly (≥65 years) (OR=3.303),oliguria (24 h urine volume ＜ 400 ml) (OR=6.906),use of antiinflammatory drugs (OR=13.079) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (OR=17.778).Conclusions The incidence of AKI in hospitalized patients is not rare,among which both communityacquired and hospital-acquired AKI are mainly caused by pre-renal etiologies.All-cause mortality is lower in community-acquired AKI compared to that in hospital-acquired AKI and the independent risk factors are different between CA-AKI and HA-AKI.

Halomonas sp.BYS-1 was a moderately halophilic bacteria strain isolated from activated sludge,It could grow on MM with NaCl concentration from 0.1～2.6 mol/L and phenyl acetic acid as sole carbon souce. When BYS-1 grew in the media with different concentrations of NaCl, there was no obvious change in its intracellular Na+ contents , it accumulated K+, glutamic acid and betaine as osmoprotectants. Its intracellular contents of K+,glutamic acid and betaine increased by 1.9,2.4 and 13.6 times, respectively, when the concentration of NaCl increased from 0.1 mol/L to 2mol/L.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the application and effects of external fixator under the guidance of damage control therapy in limb open fracture.

METHODSFrom May 2008 to January 2013,72 cases with severe limb open fractures (Unincor- porated shock) were divided into control group and observation group (36 cases in each group). In observation group, 36 patients (including 22 males and 14 females) were treated by external fixator at stage I, as soon as possible after waiting for patients physiology conditions being stable,the stage II fracture operation was performed. In control group, 36 patients (24 males and 12 females) were treated by the first stage open reduction. The hospital admission time, open fracture severity score (OFSS),operation duration,operative blood loss,X-ray expose times, callus appear time, fracture healing time, postoperative infection rate, complications and Johner-Wruhs accceccment were recorded and evaluated.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up for 8 to 12 months (10.4 in averaged). The mean operation duration, operative blood loss, callus appear time, fracture healing time the mean operation duration reespectively were (56.79±8.87) min, (216.16±18.21) ml, (5.32±0.71) weeks, (12.79±2.52) weeks in observation group,and (104.53±9.28) min, (439.93±14.65) ml, (4.97±1.26) weeks, (14.81±2.63) weeks in control group. According to Johner-Wruhs acccecement,there were were 33 cases in excellent,2 in good,and 1 in poor in observation group,non-union of fracture in 1 case,local infection occurred in 1 cases; in control group 25 cases in excellent,6 in good, and 5 in poor, non-union of fracture in 1 case,local infection occurred in 8 cases. There were significant differences in operation duration, operative blood loss, callus appear time, fracture healing time, postoperative infection rate, complications (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in hospital admission time, open fracture severity score and X-ray expose times (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONUnder the guidance of damage control therapy,using external fixator measures to treat patients with open fractures of limbs is worth popularizing in clinical application because it can shorten the operation time, less blood loss, reduce the infection rate and complications, improve the success rate of surgery and recovery rate.

Hip fracture patients preoperative and postoperative exist hidden blood loss which often affect patients' wound healing, increase the probability of infection, prolong rehabilitation exercise, influence postoperative effect. At the same time, the body's blood loss increase the activation of the blood clotting mechanism, promote the incidence of deep vein thrombosis, bleeding and deep vein thrombosis has become the main causes of high risk in hip operation. It is very important to stop bleeding, anticoagulation should not be ignored, so how to effectively deal with the prominent contradiction between the postoperative anticoagulation and bleeding or looking for a best balance has become a intractable problems in hip fracture treatment.

Objective To study the relationship between periodontitis and chronic kidney disease (CKD) among Uygur adults of Xinjiang. Methods Data of 1650 Uygur adult residents (age＞18 years) in the Moyu county, Xinjiang were analyzed. The subjects were sampled randomly with stratify capacity from 15 villages among 364 villages. All the subjects received the questionnaire and the oral examination. The markers and risk factors of chronic renal injury were inspected. The subjects were categorized as periodontitis group and non-periodontitis group according to chronic periodontitis diagnostic criteria. The periodontitis group was further divided into mild, moderate and severe periodontitis. Results The data of 1415 subjects were completed. The prevalence of chronic periodontitis was 65.2% (95%CI:65.0-65.4). The prevalence of CKD was 5.2% (95%CI:5.1-5.3). Albuminuria was found in 4.2% (95%CI:4.1-4.3) of subjects. 1.3%(95%CI:1.3-1.4) of individuals had renal insufficiency. In periodontitis group, the prevalence of CKD was 6.4%, which was higher than that in non-periodontitis group 2.9% (χ2=7.841 ,P=0.005).Univariate regression analysis showed that severe periodontitis was risk factor of CKD (OR =3.2,95% CI:2.0-5.2). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that severe periodontitis was independently associated with CKD (OR = 1.9, 95%CI: 1.1-3.3). Conclusions In Uygur adults of rural area of Xinjiang, the prevalence of CKD is higher in periodontitis group as compared to non-periodontitis group. Severe periodontitis is an independent risk factor of CKD.

Objective To screen for the potential protein biomarkers in serum for the diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) using proteomic fingerprint technology. Methods Proteomic fingerprint technology combining weak cation exchange (WCX) magnetic beads with MALDI-TOF-MS was used to identify and compare the serum proteins from 61 patients with idiopathic PD, 29 patients with other neurodegenerative diseases (OND) and 30 healthy blood donors. Model of biomarkers and proteomics patterns associated with PD was analyzed by Biomarker Patterns Software. The model also was validated by 40 newly recruited PD cases. Results A total of 17 discriminating M/Z peaks which were related to PD were identified ( nonparametric test, Z:-4.039--2.633, P<0.01 ). Five biomarkers with M/Z of 6121, 5234, 2961,4309 and 8170 respectively generated an excellent model of distinguishing between PD and healthy groups. The sensitivity was 98.4% and the specificity was 83.1%. Blind testing in 40 newly recruited cases demonstrated a sensitivity of 85.0% (17 of 20 PD) and a specificity of 70. 0% (14 of 20 controls). Conclusions Combination of WCX magnetic beads with MALDI-TOF-MS is a useful method in establishing proteomic patterns associated with PD. It also may be used to construct a diagnostic model with PD Biomarkers. Although this model of biomarkers fails to distinguish between PD and OND controls, it is able to differentiate PD from healthy controls.

Background Some drugs with inhibitory effect on the proliferation of lens epithelial cells have a limiting application in clinic because of their adverse response.To screen the effective and less side-effect drug for supressing LECs growth is very inportant for the prevention and treatment of after cataract.Objective This study was to explore the effects of docetaxel on LECs growth and compare its role with epirubicin hydrochloride,pirarubicin hydrochloTide and rahitrexed.Methotis Immortalized human LECs line (SRA01/04) were cultured and passaged.Different concentrations of docetaxel,epirubicin hydrochloride,pirarubicin hydrochloride and rahitrexed were added into the medium respectively for 24.48 and 72 hours.The proliferation of LECs was detect by M1Yr.Flow cytometry analysis Was used to analyze the influence of different concentrations of docetaxel on cellular cycle at 48 hours after addition of docetaxel,and Annexin V-FITC/PI marking method was used to assesse the apoptosis of LECs under the action of docetaxel.Expression of bcl-2 protein in LECs Was evaluated by Westeru blot. Result The growth rate of LECs Wag 100%in 8-519 pmol/L doeetaxel groups with the normal cell shape.Majority of abnormal cells and low growth rate were found in 66 nmoVL docetaxel group at 48 and 72 hours.The IC50 of docetaxel was lowest in 48 and 72 hours in docetaxel group in comparison to epirubicin hydrochloride and pirarubicin hydrochloride. However,no evident inhibition on LECs growth in 23.22-523.56 μmol/L of raltitrexed.At 48 hours,the percentage of LECs in G2/M phase increased as the asccnte of concentration of docetaxel,showing a significant difference among 4 groups(F=2633.05,P＜0.01).The percentage of early apoptotic cells increased to 22.4%(χ2=20.00,P＜0.01) and 27.9%(χ2=42.68,P＜0.01)from normal control 3.1% at 48 hours after LECs exposed to 8.3 nmol/L and 266 nmol/L docetaxe.The expression of bcl-2 protein in LECs was obviously weakened after addition of docetaxel,especially 8.3 nmol/L docetaxel group. Conclusion Docetaxel,epirubicin hydrochloride and pirarubicin hydrochloride can inhibit the proliferation of human LECs in vitro.But there is no supression on LECs growth inraltitrexed.Docetaxel is proved to have a strongly arrested effect on the proliferation of LECs in comparison with epirubicin hydrochloride and pirarubicin hydrochloride and play its role at concentration-and time-dependent manner.
