Objective To investigate the significance of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) scoring system in evaluating elderly patients with hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state. Methods Elderly patients with hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state were enrolled in the study from January 2003 to May 2008. The patients were divided into two groups according to the outcome: death group and survival group. APACHE Ⅱ scoring system was used on the day of admission and the scores were compared in the two groups. The risk factors for death were evaluated by logistic regression analysis. Results Forty patients were registered including 10 cases in death group and 30 cases in survival group. The mortality rate was 25%. There were no differences in blood glucose, serum sodium, blood osmotic pressure, serum creatinine and hemoglobin between two groups before the treatment (t=-1.50~1.53, all P>0.05). The APACHE Ⅱ scores were significantly higher in death group than in survival group on the day of admission(30.1±5.4 vs. 22.9±3.9,Z=-4.08, P<0.01). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that APACHE Ⅱ scores on the day of admission were the independent risk factor for death. Age, sex, blood glucose, effective blood osmotic pressure, serum creatinine and hemoglobin were not related to mortality rate. Conclusions APACHE Ⅱ scoring system is a helpful method for evaluating the severity and outcome of patients with hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of serum concentration of procalcitonin (PCT) in differential diagnosis of the etiology of bloodstream infections (BSI).Methods:Patients hospitalized in ICU of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January 2015 to June 2020 with BSI and with PCT test simultaneously when blood drawing for blood culture were enrolled. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) were calculated based on parameters on the day of blood culture. Difference of various indicators among different pathogen infections were compared. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve was used to analyze the value of PCT in differential diagnosis of BSI by different pathogens.Results:Among 1 456 patients with BSI,1 261 (86.6%) patients with monobacterial infection, 80 (5.5%) patients with candidiasis and 115 (7.9%) patients with mixed infection. The 28-day mortality was 24.5% (356/1 456) and the 60-day mortality was 30.6% (446/1456). Mortality of both 28-day and 60-day in the mixed group was significantly higher than that in the bacteriacemia group and candidemia group. PCT levels was significantly higher in patients with bacteremia caused by gram-negative bacteria (GNB) than that in gram-positive bacteria (GPB) infected bacteremia and candidemia {3.4 μg/L[95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.7-17.0 μg/L] vs 1.3 μg/L (95% CI 0.4-7.3 μg/L); 3.4μg/L (95% CI was 0.7-17.0 μg/L) vs 1.1 μg/L (95% CI was 0.4-3.4 μg/L); P<0.01} . ROC curve analysis showed that: ① the optimal cut-off value of PCT in differential diagnosis of monobacterial bacteremia and candidemia was 7.25 μg/L, with specificity of 90.0% and the area under the ROC curve (AUROC) was 0.612 (95% CI 0.533-0.691). When PCT value was greater than 0.51 μg/L, the sensitivity of diagnostic of bacteremia could reach 73.3%. ② the optimal cut-off value of PCT in differential diagnosis of bacteremia caused by GNB infection and candidemia was 7.32 μg/L, with specificity of 90.0% and AUROC was 0.695 (95% CI 0.614-0.776). When PCT value was greater than 0.51 μg/L, the sensitivity of diagnostic of bacteremia caused by GNB infection was 84.9%.③ the optimal cut-off value of PCT in differential diagnosis of bacteremia caused by GNB and GPB infection was 0.52 μg/L, with sensitivity of 84.9% and AUROC was 0.713 (95% CI 0.672-0.755). When PCT value was greater than 7.36 μg/L, the specificity of diagnostic of bacteremia caused by GNB infection could reach 80.1%. Conclusions:PCT can provide additional information about the possible etiology of patients with BSI, especially as high levels often indicate the possibility of GNB bacteremia.

Objective:To investigate whether celastrol can increase the cytotoxic activity of γδ T cells against osteosarcoma (OS) cells line HOS through TRAIL way. Methods:The death receptors 4/5 (DR4/5) protein levels in the OS cell lines HOS was in-vestigated by Western blot analysis. Zoledronate ( ZOL) was used to induceγδT cells from PBMCs of healthy volunteers.γδT cell cy-totoxicity against HOS cells was investigated by a standard lactate dehydrogenase release assay ( LDH ) . Results:Celastrol increased DR4/5 protein expression in HOS ( P<0. 05 ) .γδ T cells from PBMCs of healthy volunteers showed cytotoxicity against HOS ( P<0. 05). Following co-culture with HOS pre-treated with celastrol (1 μmol/L) for 24 h,γδ T cells showed significantly higher cytotoxicity against HOS (P<0. 05). The induction of DR4/5 molecules increased lysis of HOS by γδ T cells which was abolished by addition of a blocking TRAIL antibody. Conclusion:Celastrol can enhance γδ T cells'cytotoxic activity against OS cells line HOS through TRAIL way.
