Objective To explore the risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI)in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Method The medical data of hospitalized patients with AMI admitted from October 2013 to May 2014 were reviewed.All patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group.The univariate comparison analysis were performed to obtain the AKI risk factors.Results A total of 565 patients were enrolled.The incidence of AKI (n =91 )was 16.1% and there were 474 non-AKI patients.The mortality of AKI group was 19.8% and mortality of non-AKI group was 0.4% (P <0.01). Univariate analysis demonstrated that the risk factors of AKI were age,hypertension,previous myocardial infarction,heart failure history,chronic kidney disease,cerebral infarction history,peripheral vascular disease;ventricular fibrillation,heart rate,Killip grade ≥3 stage,left ventricular ejection fraction,serum creatinine,eGFR,hemoglobin,blood urea nitrogen,troponin I,B-type natriuretic peptide and C-reactive protein,fasting glucose,albumin,maximum daily dose of furosemide,non-use of ACEI /ARB and statins, the use of intra-aortic balloon pump, temporary pacemaker and pulmonary mechanical ventilation, implementation of PCI and coronary artery bypass graft surgery.Conclusions These risk factors for AKI after AMI were found to identify high-risk patients,helping the clinicians to make decision for preventive intervention.

Objective To explore the risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with acute heart failure (AHF).Methods A total of 254 patients with AHF admitted in the emergency department of Peking University People's Hospital from January 2015 to September 2016 were enrolled for retrospective study.Exclusion criteria included:age < 18 years old,end stage renal disease or long-term dialysis,length of hospital stay < 2 days,only one renal function test available during hospitalization,patients discharged by themselves and lacking essential medical records.Data of demographics,past medical history,general conditions at admission,accessory examinations and treatments,etc,were collected.Patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to Kidney Disease:Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria.Univariate comparison analyses were performed to evaluate the differences between the two groups.Results Of 254 eligible patients,there were 78 (30.7%) in AKI group and 176 (69.3%) in non-AKI group.The mortality rates of AKI group and non-AKI group were 34.6% and 11.9% (P < 0.05),respectively.Compared with the non-AKI group,baseline serum creatinine,C-reactive protein,the peak level of B-type natriuretic peptide,the proportion of proteinuria,cardiac function grade Ⅳ,the daily dose of intravenous furosemide dose ≥ 80 mg,the use of nesiritide,cardiac inotropic agents and renal replacement therapy in the AKI group were significantly higher;the estimated glomerular filtration rate was significantly lower (P < 0.05).Conclusions The incidence of AKI in patients with AHF was high and the prognosis of patients with AHF developing to AKI was poor.The baseline serum creatinine,estimated glomerular filtration rate,proteinuria,C-reactive protein,cardiac function grade Ⅳ,the peak level of B-type natriuretic peptide,the daily dose of intravenous furosemide dose ≥ 80 mg,the use of nesiritide,cardiac inotropic agents and renal replacement therapy were the significant risk factors of AKI in patients with AHF.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of thunder-fire moxibustion plus glucosamine sulfate potassium capsule in treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA).Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 90 participants with KOA in the Acupuncture and Moxibustion Department, Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Capital Medical University from February 2020 to December 2021 were randomized and assigned into 3 groups, with 30 cases in each group according to the random number table method. The thunder-fire moxibustion group was only treated with thunder-fire moxibustion on Neixiyan and Dubi acupoints, while the medication group was only treated with oral glucosamine sulfate potassium capsule, and the thunder-fire moxibustion plus medication group was treated with thunder-fire moxibustion on Neixiyan and Dubi acupoints combined with oral glucosamine sulfate potassium capsule. All the three groups were treated for 4 weeks. The degree of joint pain and stiffness was assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC); the amount of knee joint cavity effusion was detected by ultrasound; the knee circumference was measured to assess the degree of knee swelling.Results:After treatment, the amount of knee joint cavity effusion [(3.21±2.44) mm, (3.73±2.53) mm vs. (4.80±3.07) mm, F=6.82], the WOMAC score [(65.88±30.25), (77.74±28.27) vs. (86.58±31.50), F=7.92], knee circumference [(36.74±2.74) cm, (37.59±2.63) cm vs. (38.51±3.09) cm, F=8.94] in the thunder-fire moxibustion plus medication group and the thunder-fire moxibustion group were lower than those in the medication group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Thunder-fire moxibustion plus oral glucosamine sulfate potassium capsule can reduce the amount of knee joint cavity effusion, WOMAC score and the degree of knee swelling, and the efficacy is better than thunder -fire moxibustion and oral glucosamine sulfate potassium capsule.

AIM: To analyze the correlation between ocular surface status and serum lipids in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction(MGD)during pregnancy, and to provide new ideas for the management and treatment of MGD during pregnancy.METHODS: Totally 120 pregnant women(240 eyes)treated in our hospital from May 2021 to May 2022 were selected and they were divided into MGD group(60 cases, 120 eyes)and control group(60 cases, 120 eyes)according to the presence or absence of MGD. All subjects received the ocular surface disease index scores(OSDI)and underwent examinations of meibomian gland morphology and function, tear film and blood lipid.RESULTS: The scores of OSDI, the related indexes of meibomian gland, corneal fluorescein staining(FL)scores, total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG)and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C)in the MGD group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). The scores of fluorescein breakup time(FBUT), Schirmer Ⅰ test(SIt)and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)in the MGD group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the scores of TG, TC, LDL-C were negatively correlated with the values of FBUT(rs =-0.702, -0.647, -0.710, all P<0.001).CONCLUSION: The level of blood lipids in pregnant patients with MGD is significantly increased, and the levels of TC, TG and LDL-C may be related to the stability of tear film.
