Objective To investigate concentration of plasma neutrophil gelatinase -associated lipocalin ( NGAL) and its clinical significance in ICU populations with sepsis.Methods Fourteen ICU patients diagnosed with sepsis and twenty-four patients with non-sepsis were enrolled in the study,and seventeen healthy adults were selected as healthy control.Blood samples were drawn from patients to measure NGAL, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation ( APACHE ) II and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment ( SOFA ) were performed, the outcome was recorded.Plasma NGAL concentration was measured by enzyme -linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) .Results On admission to ICU, the pNGAL concentrations of septic and non -septic patients were (131.4 ±116.4)ng/mL and (48.7 ±30.8)ng/mL respectively,which of healthy control was (39.07 ±12.74)ng/mL.The pNGAL was significantly higher in sepsis than non-sepsis and healthy control ( t=-3.280,3.313,P=0.003,0.021 respectively).Otherwise,no differences of white blood cell (WBC) count [(12.6 ±5.7) ×109/L vs (15.6 ±5.8) ×109/L] and SOFA scores [(7.7 ±3.3)points vs (8.6 ±3.4)points] were found in septic and non-septic patients (t=-1.554,-0.802,P=0.129,0.428).On the admission to ICU,areas under the receiver oper-ating characteristic curves ( ROC curves) of NGAL and WBC for predicting sepsis were 0.740 [95%confident inter-val(CI) 0.566,0.913,P =0.015] and 0.345 ( 95%CI 0.158,0.533,P =0.116) respectively.If pNGAL of 99.4ng/mL as the threshold for predicting sepsis, the sensitivity and the specificity was 50.0% and 85.2%. Conclusion The concentrations of NGAL in septic patients significantly increased compared with that in non-sepsis and in healthy adults.And the NGAL levels maybe another sensitive biochemical marker for predicting infection.

The controversy over the ultrasonic testing of thyroid volume (TVOL) in children exists in some aspects, mainly focusing on the measurement errors caused by different testing personnel, instruments and techniques. Moreover, with the development of children growth higher than before, the influence of physiological factors on TVOL and relevant correction methods should be paid attention. This paper reviews domestic and foreign literatures. Firstly, through describing the TVOL reference values of international recommended, foreign country and China, we clarify the differences between them, and analyze the current situation and characteristics of each. Secondly, by studying the ultrasonic testing methods and physiological factors which affect TVOL, this paper analyzes the importance of various factors, discusses the availability of several measurement methods and compares several TVOL correction methods. Some suggestions are put forward for further improving the reference value of TVOL of children in China.

Heart failure refers to a group of clinical syndromes caused by structural or functional abnormalities of the heart that lead to impaired ejection or filling of the ventricles. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory of cardiac and renal coordination holds that the kidney governs water and plays a key role in maintaining the balance of fluid metabolism. Therefore, the treatment of water retention in heart failure can start from the heart and kidney. The basic pathogenesis of heart failure is kidney deficiency, blood stasis, and water stagnation, and the therapies including dredging the heart and kidneys, warming yang and excreting water, tonifying kidneys and activating blood, and dredging meridians and collaterals. Aquaporins (AQPs), the key molecular basis of water metabolism, are involved in the pathogenesis of water retention in heart failure together with the arginine vasopressin system (AVP), renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), and diuretic resistance. Studies have shown that herbal medicines that regulate the heart and kidney can alleviate water retention in heart failure by targeting AQPs, thereby delaying or even reversing the progression of heart failure. This paper expounds the TCM name and pathogenesis of heart failure from the theory of cardiac and renal coordination, the role of AQPs in the pathogenesis of water retention in heart failure, and the modern connotation of the therapy of tonifying heart and kidney for heart failure, aiming to provide ideas for the prevention and treatment of water retention in heart failure by TCM.

Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is one of the important causes of myocardial ischemia and non-obstructive coronary artery ischemic symptoms. However, effective diagnostic methods and targeted treatment strategies for CMD are currently lacking. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the comorbidity theory of "blood-vessel-cardiac collaterals" plays a central role throughout the entire development process of CMD. It suggests that in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CMD, the treatment of blood, vessels, and cardiac collaterals should not be neglected. In light of this, insect medicines, known for their efficacy in promoting blood circulation, resolving stasis, and alleviating spasms, hold promise as a potential treatment for CMD. However, there is currently no research or summary on the use of insect medicines for the treatment of CMD. Therefore, this article took the comorbidity theory of "blood-vessel-cardiac collaterals" as the starting point and divided the pathogenesis of CMD into five evolution stages: Beginning in the blood (changes in blood components and hemorheology), progressing in the vessels (atheromatous plaque formation and unstable plaques), occurring in the cardiac collaterals (microvascular endothelial damage and microvascular constriction and spasms), ending in the cardiac collaterals (microvascular remodeling), and resulting in energy metabolism disorders throughout the process, so as to explore the pathogenesis and evolution of CMD. In addition, based on the modern pharmacological research on insect medicines, this article discussed the clinical application of insect medicines in the treatment of CMD from four aspects: Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis to relieve vessels' obstruction, relieving spasms to alleviate pain, combating poison with poison to disperse stagnation, and tonifying cardiac collaterals to nourish the heart, which aims to provide a theoretical basis for the use of TCM in treating CMD, broaden the scope of medication, and improve clinical efficacy.
