Objective To explore the therapeutic efficacy of automatic peritoneal dialysis on elderly patients with cardiorenal syndrome(CRS).Methods A total of 260 elderly CRS patients treated at our hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were recruited,and then randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 130 cases in each group.The control group received conventional basic treatment and symptomatic treatment,while the observation group received automated peritoneal dialysis treatment on this basis.Cardiac function indicators,renal function indicators,inflammatory factors,MAP and heart rate were compared between the two groups.Re-sults After treatment,significantly lower LVESD(26.29±1.19 mm vs 29.59±1.84 mm),LVEDD(47.43±1.39 mm vs 51.81±1.34 mm),LAD(30.74±1.15 mm vs 33.11±0.88 mm),and levels of NT-proBNP(1034.74±313.61 ng/L vs 2634.02±853.67 ng/L),urea(16.69±3.57 mmol/L vs 32.67±4.54 mmol/L),cystatin C(0.47±0.13 mg/L vs 0.61±0.15 mg/L),creatinine(254.74±41.15 mmol/L vs 394.09±38.61 mmol/L),TNF-α(144.14±23.16 mg/L vs 183.97± 23.37 mg/L)and hs-CRP(4.09±1.03 μg/L vs 5.45±1.17 μg/L),and higher LVEF(39.14± 4.48%vs 35.64±5.27%)were observed in the observation group than the control group(all P<0.01).There were no significant differences in heart rate and MAP between the two groups before and after treatment(P>0.05).Conclusion Automatic peritoneal dialysis can improve the cardiac and renal function and reduce inflammatory response in elderly CRS patients,and show positive significance for improving prognosis.

The characterization of the human T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire has made remarkable progress, with most of the work focusing on the TCRβ chains. Here, we analyzed the diversity and complexity of both the TCRα and TCRβ repertoires of three healthy donors. We found that the diversity of the TCRα repertoire is higher than that of the TCRβ repertoire, whereas the usages of the V and J genes tended to be preferential with similar TRAV and TRAJ patterns in all three donors. The V-J pairings, like the V and J gene usages, were slightly preferential. We also found that the TRDV1 gene rearranges with the majority of TRAJ genes, suggesting that TRDV1 is a shared TRAV/DV gene (TRAV42/DV1). Moreover, we uncovered the presence of tandem TRBD (TRB D gene) usage in ~2% of the productive human TCRβ CDR3 sequences.
