Objective To investigate the differences of multiple factors in acute cerebral infarction (ACI) patients with and without multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS),as well as in ACI patients in different MODS score groups.Methods One hundred and fifty-seven ACI patients were divided into non-MODS group( without concurrent MODS group)and MODS group.The MODS group patients were further divided into four subgroups according to the scores,including 1 -6points,7 - 12 points,13 - 18 points and points over 19.All patients were measured for procalcitonin(PCT) and C-reactive protein(CRP).The National Institutes of Health stroke score( NHISS score),acute physiology and chronic health evaluation( APACHE Ⅱ score)and Watian water test score were calculated.The differences in age,gender,PCT,CRP,NHISS score,APACHE Ⅱ score,Watian water score,breathing support rate,eating rate and mortality rate between the two groups were compared.Results Non-MODS group,compared with the MODS group,was significantly younger( [72.11 ± 16.41 ] years vs.[ 77.88 ±17.67 ] years,t=2.451,P < 0.05 ),and the difference in the ratio of male to female between groups was not significant (57/38 vs.34/28,x2 =0.414,P > 0.05 ).Differed from MODS group,non-MODS group had significant lower PCT value ( 1.83 ± 0.51 vs.2.98 ± 0.71,P < 0.01 ),CRP value ( [ 12.53 ± 7.12] mg/L vs.[69.89 ±43.83 ] mg/L,P <0.01 ),NHISS score(9.38 ±5.24 vs.21.35 ±7.47,P <0.01 ),APACHE Ⅱ score ( 11.63 ± 4.22 vs.30.92 ± 7.80,P < 0.01 ),Watian water score ( 2.36 ± 0.98 vs.3.88 ± 1.09,P < 0.01 ),breathing support rate ( 2.1% vs.43.5%,P < 0.01 ) and mortality rate ( 4.2% vs.43.5%,P < 0.01 ),but had remarkable higher eating rate(95.8% vs.66.1%,P <0.01 ).Pairwised comparison among the four MODS score groups,the PCT,CRP,NHISS score,APACHE score,Watian water test,breathing support rate and mortality rate were significantly different(P < 0.05) ;The differences in age between the 1 -6 points group and the other three groups was significant ( P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Age,PCT,CRP,NHISS score,APACHE score,Watian water test score,breathing support rate,mortality rate of the high-score MODS groups were higher than those of MODS groups with low-score in ACI patients,while eating rate was lower than that of the low-score groups.

The aging disease associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)is a hot research topic in the field of diabetes at present.Sarcopenia has become the third major complication of T2DM after microvascular and macrovascular diseases,which could lead to the occurrence and development of various adverse events such as fracture,disability,and dysfunction.The spleen belongs to the earth,is in the middle jiao,governs transportation and transformation,and governs muscle.The functional activities of the spleen manifesting in normal transformation and transportation,the distribution of cereal essence,and the nourishment of muscles are necessary for normal physiological functions to be exerted.Recent studies have shown that skeletal muscle cell ferroptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of T2DM sarcopenia.Based on the theory of"spleen governing transportation and transportation and governing muscle",this study explores the pathogenesis of T2DM sarcopenia from the perspectives of the pathogenesis of"dysfunction of spleen in transportation,deficiency of cereal essence,obstruction of dampness and turbidity,and muscle dystrophy"in traditional Chinese medicine and the pathological mechanism of"skeletal muscle cell ferroptosis"in modern medicine.It summarizes the principles of traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment for T2DM sarcopenia based on the spleen,to provide theoretical support for enriching the theoretical connotation of spleen visceral state,as well as basic research and clinical trials on the prevention and treatment of T2DM sarcopenia with traditional Chinese medicine.
