Objective To discuss spinal fusion effect of lumbar intertransverse process in rabbits by using bone marrow stromal stem cells(MSCs)in conjunction with bone morphogenetic protein(BMP)and freeze-dried demineralized bone matrix(FDBM)as scaffold.Methods To separate and cultivate MSCs in vitro,with FDBM as scaffold,osteogenesis was induced by BMP.Sixty Japan white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups.Group A was MSCs+FDBM+BMP,group B was FDBM,group C was autogenous ilium cancellous bone(AIB).Lumbar intertransverse process was fused in lumbar five to six.Rabbits were killed at 8 weeks after operation.The general observation and imageology were used to assess the fusion condition.To estimate the implantation using DR image.Gray scale analysis of DR image caculated the osteogenic density and acreage.The CT scan and three-dimensional reconstruction was used to observe the fusion configuration of lumbar intertransverse process.Results The fusion mass character in group A and C was hard,the morphology was not regulation.The fusion mass was almost absorbed in group B beside little tissue approach transverse process.There were high density image between intertransverse processes,osteogenic density were nonuniform in group A and C.There were nonunion in group B.Consistent callus were existed between intertransverse process in group A and C.There were not consistent callus in group B.Group A was similar to group C in osteogenesis density and acreage.Group B was the worst.There were cartilage and newly born bone trabecular formation in group A and group C.Between transverse process were mainly fiber tissue in group B.Conclusion MSCs in conjunction with BMP and FDBM has the similar osteogenic capability to the AIB and better osteogenic capability than that of FDBM alone when spinal fusion of lumbar intertransverse process is performed in rabbits.

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of systemic immune inflammation index (SII) for short-term prognosis in patients with sepsis complicated with acute kidney injury who received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) .Methods:From Feb. 2018 to Jan. 2022, 90 patients with sepsis complicated with acute kidney injury who received CRRT in Hangzhou Cancer Hospital were included as the research objects. According to the survival of patients within 90 days, they were grouped into a survival group of 60 cases and a death group of 30 cases. The clinical baseline data such as age, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, acute physiological function and chronic health status scoring system II (APACHE II), albumin (ALB) were recorded. Automatic blood cell analyzer was applied to detect lymphocyte count, platelet count and neutrophil count in peripheral venous blood of patients with sepsis complicated with acute kidney injury who received CRRT, and the SII was calculated; Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between SII and clinical baseline data in dead patients with sepsis complicated with acute kidney injury receiving CRRT; ROC curve was drawn to analyze and compare the predictive value of SII, SOFA score and APACHEII for death in patients with sepsis complicated with acute kidney injury receiving CRRT; Kaplan-Meier curve was performed to describe the changes in patient survival; multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors affecting 90-day death in patients with sepsis complicated with acute kidney injury receiving CRRT.Results:SII (2636.74), C-reactive protein (CRP) [ (92.45±29.74) mg/L], SOFA score (12.83±3.24) and APACHEII (28.30±7.51) in the death group were higher than those in the survival group [341.92, (50.24±16.13) mg/L, 10.00±3.12, 25.13±6.87], and ALB [ (2.50±0.53) g/dl] was lower than that in the survival group [ (2.79±0.61) g/dl] ( P<0.05). SII was significantly positively correlated with CRP, SOFA score and APACHEII, and significantly negatively correlated with ALB in patients with sepsis complicated with acute kidney injury who received CRRT ( P<0.05). The areas under the curve (AUC) of SII, SOFA score, and APACHEII for predicting death in patients with sepsis complicated with acute kidney injury who received CRRT were 0.936, 0.827, and 0.736, respectively, and AUC of SII prediction was greater than that of SOFA score and APACHEII ( P<0.05). The 90-day survival rate of patients with sepsis complicated with acute kidney injury who received CRRT in the high SII group (23/46, 50.00%) was lower than that in the low SII group (37/44, 84.09%) ( P<0.05). SII was an independent risk factor for death within 90 days in patients with sepsis complicated with acute kidney injury who received CRRT ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:SII can better predict the 90-day mortality risk of patients with sepsis complicated with acute kidney injury receiving CRRT, and assist clinical assessment of short-term prognosis.
