Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection 2009;29(3):271-273
Objective To investigate the change of S-100B in serum in rats at varions times after exposure to different whole-brain irradiation doses and to explore the characteristics of the S-100B change in early radiation-induced brain injuries. Methods A model of brain radlation-induced injuries was estabhshed in the rat after whole-brain irradiation with a single dose of 2, 10, or 30 Gy of 4 MeV electron. The concentration of S-100B in serum was detected by means of enzyme-linked immunoserbent assay (ELISA) at different time points (1,6,12,24,3 days, 1 week, 1 month) after exposure. Results In terms of measuring time points, the serum concentration in all groups reached the fwst peak 6 hours after irradiation, declined after 12 hours, rose again after 24 hours, and started to decline again until the last time point (1 month), with the exception of the 2 Gy group, which reached the second peak at 3 days after irradiation. Conclusions The S-100B serum concentration was changed in the rats after whale-brain irradiation and these changes are positively related to the irradiation amount. It seems that the higher the dose, the higher the serum concentration and the differences between the dose groups are significant (via multiple regression models). The S-100B may be a valuable serum marker for the brain irradiation injury.

The marrow stromal cells of adult New Zealand rabbits cultivated and induced in vitro were used to form MCCAB by mixing,seeding and solidifying methods with the aid of alginate. The MCCABs were auto-transplanted intramuscularly into the rabbits for 4 to 8 weeks. The alginate-cancellous bone matrix composites or the cancellous bone matrix alone were implanted as control. The effectiveness of bone formation was assessed by means of roentgenography and histology.The results showed that the osteogeneses of MCCABs were better than those of the alginate-cancellous bone matrix composites and of the cancellous bone matrix. In the MCCABs, both intramembranous and cartilaginous osteogenesis were seen with the former predominating. In the control, only slight cartilaginous osteogenesis was seen. The results suggested that the osteogenesis of the MCCABs constructed by using tissue engineering method was obvious when transplanted intramuscularly, therefore, this kind of tissue-engineered bone could be an effective way for clinical application.

ObjectiveTo assess whether intravenous contrast medium would result in acute kidney injury (AKI), and to determine the risk factors associated with contrast induced AKI (CI-AKI) and its outcome.Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted in intensive care unit (ICU) of Fuyang People's Hospital in Zhejiang Province from January 1st 2011 to December 31st 2014. All enrolled critically ill patients had accepted CT scan, and the hospital length of stay was longer than 48 hours, and the patients who needed renal replacement treatment were excluded. Patients were divided into contrast medium group and control group. AKI was defined according to Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria (serum creatinine content over 26.4μmol/L or 50% increase of it from baseline within 48 hours). The incidence of AKI was compared between the two groups, and risk factors for CI-AKI were determined by multiple logistic regression analysis. The relationship of CI-AKI and outcomes were also analyzed. Results A total of 2 370 critically ill patients were enrolled during the period. 474 (20.0%) of the 2 370 patients received contrast medium, and 70 of them suffered from CI-AKI (14.8%). In 1 896 patients who did not receive contrast medium, 235 of them suffered from AKI (12.4%). There was no significant difference in the incidence of AKI between two groups (χ2= 1.905,P = 0.168). After several confounding factors were adjusted, multiple logistic regression analysis showed that contrast medium was not found to associate with AKI in critically ill patients [odds ratio (OR) = 1.66, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.72-3.90,P = 0.201], and high acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score (OR = 1.70, 95%CI = 1.33-2.40,P< 0.001), sepsis (OR= 8.06, 95%CI =3.28-17.80,P< 0.001), shock (OR= 3.57, 95%CI = 1.73-8.01,P< 0.001) and use of nephrotoxic agent (OR= 1.96, 95%CI = 1.25-2.63,P = 0.015) were risk factors of CI-AKI. Ten of 70 patients with CI-AKI died (14.3%), and 21 out of 404 patients without CI-AKI, died (5.2%). There was no significant difference in the mortality rate (χ2= 8.060, P = 0.005). It was shown by multiple logistic regression analysis that age (OR=1.30, 95%CI = 1.05-1.71,P = 0.027), male sex (OR = 1.13, 95%CI = 1.05-1.20,P = 0.039), APACHEⅡscore (OR = 1.07, 95%CI = 1.03-1.18,P< 0.001), and sepsis (OR = 3.29, 95%CI = 1.92-6.46,P< 0.001) were highly associated with mortality of critically ill patients in whom contrast medium was used. However, the occurrence of CI-AKI showed no influence on the mortality rate (OR = 1.70, 95%CI = 0.88-3.56,P = 0.227).Conclusions The use of contrast medium is not a risk factor of CI-AKI in critically ill patients. CI-AKI will not raise mortality rate in ICU patients.
