Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods The clinical data of 438 patients with severe pneumonia who were admitted in the intensive care unit in 2016 were retrospectively analyzed for analysis of AKI and assessment of risk factors. Results Among the 438 patients with severe pneumonia,the incidence of AKI was 53.42%. Within 72 hours after admission into the ICU, 86.75% of them developed AKI mainly from hypovolemic or septic shock(accounting for 80.34%). The detection rate of AKI by the standards of RIFLE and AKIN was lower than by the standards of KDIGO (45.89%,48.17%vs. 53.42%). Anemia ,shock /hypotension ,drugs ,RRT ,APPACHE II scores were the predictors of AKI. Conclusions The incidence of severe pneumonia complicated with AKI is high. Most of the patients develop it in 72 hours after admission into the ICU. Anemia,shock/hypotension,drugs,RRT,APPACHE II scores are its risk factors.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of catalpol, the effective component of Rehmanniae Radix, on atrionector cell apoptosis andβ-tubulin in vitro rabbit injured by simulated ischemia reperfusion;To explore the mechanism of treating sick sinus syndrome.MethodsAtrionector cells were collected from newborn rabbits. Cells were divided into 5 groups:normal group, model group, catalpol high, medium and low dose groups. Anoxia and aglycaemia were established to simulate ischemia. Atrionector cellular damage models were established by recovering the supply of oxygen and sugar. Normal control group and model group were given the same volume of culture medium, while catalpol high, medium and low dose groups were given medicine with relevant concentrations (100, 20, 10μg/mL, respectively). ELISA, FCM, laser scanning confocal microscopy were used to observe apoptosis rate andβ-tubulin of atrionector in each group.Results Apoptosis rate of the model group was obviously higher than the normal group (P<0.01), andβ-tubulin cleavage was obvious. Apoptosis rate in catalpol high, medium and low dose groups were significantly lower than that of the model group (P<0.01);β-tubulin structure were significantly more complete compared with the model group;the fluorescence intensity was significantly higher than that of model group (P<0.01).Conclusion Catalpol can inhibit atrionector cellular apoptosis caused by simulated ischemia reperfusion. Its protective effects on atrionectorβ-tubulin may be the mechanism of the treatment of Rehmanniae Radix for sick sinus syndrome.
