Objective To assess the predictive value of neutrophil gelatinase associated protein lipocalin (uNGAL) in urine for detection of acute kidney injury(AKI) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Methods Patients with severe traumatic brain injury from the ICU were collected from Jan. 2011 to May. 2013 in our hospital. 43 cases that met the RIFLE criteria for diagnosis of AKI in the ICU within 7 days were selected as AKI group. Another 43 cases that were matched for age ,gender ,illness severity , surgery method with AKI cases ,selected as non‐AKI group. The levels of uNGAL and Scr were measured when the patients admit‐ted in the ICU with 15 min ,at 24 h ,48 h ,72 h. the sensitivity and specificity of uNGAL and Scr for diagnosis for AKI were evalua‐ted by ROC curve. Results The incidence of severe traumatic brain injury AKI was 42. 16% (43/102). The uNGAL levels in the AKI group were higher when the patient stayed in the ICU longer and no obvious in the non AKI group. When admitted to the ICU 24 h ,the level of uNGAL(720. 32 ± 684. 25)ng/mL in AKI group was significantly higher than that (421. 92 ± 351. 20)ng/mL in non AKI group. The difference was statistically significant (P< 0. 05). The levels of Scr between two groups were not statistically significant. The area under ROC curve of uNGAL and Scr were 0. 879 (95% CI :0. 807 - 0. 949) and 0. 612 (95% CI :0. 493 -0. 731). When the cutoff value of uNGAL was 180 ng/mL ,the sensitivity and specificity were 0. 890 and 0. 823 respectively. The sensitivity was superior to Scr. Conclusion uNGALis superior to Scr for early diagnosis of AKI in patients with severe traumatic brain injury and it could be used as a biomarker for early diagnosis of AKI.

Background and purpose: p21-activated kinase 5 (PAK5) is a recently identified member of PAKs that regulate many intracellular processes such as cytoskeleton remodeling, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, gene transcription and cell apoptosis. Recently, studies found that PAK5 was overexpressed in some cancer such as gastric and colon cancer. However, the expression status and biological function of PAK5 in osteosarcoma are not clearly known. The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of PAK5 in osteosarcoma tissue and their relationships with the prognosis of osteosarcoma. Methods: The expression of PAK5 was detected by using immunohistochemical method in 92 specimens of human osteosarcoma tissues and 33 cases of osteoclastoma tissue, respectively. Results: The positive rate of PAK5 was 71.7% (66/92) in all the 92 cases of osteosarcoma. PAK5 expressions were not related to clinical variables such as gender, age, tumor location, tumor size, histological type and local recurrence, but signiifcantly related to Enneking grade, tumor cell necrosis rate and lung metastasis, and the high expression of PAK5 may reduce the efifciency of chemotherapy. Survival analysis indicated that high expression of PAK5 correlated with poor prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma. Univariate survival analysis showed that the signiifcant prognostic factors were tumor size, Enneking grade, local recurrence, lung metastasis and expression levels of PAK5. COX multivariate regression identified that the PAK5 expression levels (P=0.001) and lung metastasis (P=0.015) were independent prognostic factors of patients with osteosarcoma. Conclusion:The positive expressions of PAK5 closely correlate with Enneking grade, tumor cell necrosis rate and lung metastasis. Detection of PAK5 may be used as a molecular marker for prognosis of osteosarcoma. The high expression of PAK5 may reduce the efifciency of chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the virus-carrying rate of non-polio enteroviruses ( NPEV) in patients with acute flaccid paralysis ( AFP) in Yunnan province of China in 2015 and to analyze the genetic characteristics of enterovirus 71 (EV71) strains. Methods A total of 213 cases under 15 years old with AFP were reported by Center for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC) of Yunnan Province of China. Virus isolation was conducted for all samples and the serotypes of isolated NPEV strains were identified by VP1 se-quencing. The isolation rates of NPEV in the past consecutive 5 years were analyzed by SPSS22. 0 software. Phylogenetic trees of NPEV and EV71 strains were constructed by MEGA6. 06 software based on neighbor-joining algorithm and Kimura 2-parameter substitution model and the reliability of the phylogenetic trees was determined by bootstrap analysis with 100 pseudo replicate datasets. Results Altogether, 23 NPEV strains were isolated from 213 AFP cases. Among the 23 strains, 7 strains belonged to EV-A group (2 serotypes, 6 strains of which were EV71 ) , 14 strains belonged to EV-B group ( 8 serotypes ) and the other 2 strains belonged to EV-C group. No NPEV strains of EV-D group were identified. Statistical analysis showed that no significant differences in the isolation rates were observed in the past 5 years ( P=0. 101 ) . Conclusion The isolation rate of NPEV in patients with AFP in Yunnan province in 2015 was similar to that of the previ-ous years. The EV71 strains of C4 subgenotype were the predominant strains circulating in Yunnan province.
