Objective To investigate the effect of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) on the expression of endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and protease activated receptor 1 (PAR1) in abdominal vascular endothelial cells (VECs) of septic rats. Methods VECs were cultured by tissue-sticking method, and the purity was determined with flow cytometry (FCM). VECs were randomly divided into three groups: control group, septic group (LPS 1 μg/ml) and LMWH group (LPS 1 μg/ml+LMWH 5 μg/ml). The VECs were collected at 1st, 3rd, 5th days after stimulated. The expression of EPCR and PAR1 were assessed by FCM. Results The expression of EPCR and PAR1 of septic group decreased significantly compared with control group at each time point (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the expression decreased most obviously on day 5 (26.53±7.21 vs 39.26±2.62,q=6.45,P<0.01;53.21±15.10 vs 86.54±11.34,q=6.94,P<0.01). In LMWH group, the levels of EPCR and PAR1 expression were higher than setpic group at each time point (P<0.05). Compared to control group, the expression of EPCR had a significantly decrease on day 1 (40.86±1.63 vs 45.41±2.82,q=3.51,P<0.05), which had no significantly different on day 3 and 5 (41.20±3.32 vs 42.83±2.66,P>0.05;39.23±3.33 vs 39.26±2.62,P>0.05), and the expression of PAR1 were not significantly decrease compared with control group at each time point (P>0.05). Conclusions LMWH could improve the inhibition status and the expression of EPCR and PAR1 on VECs in septic rats.

Objective To study the predicting value of four different scoring systems such as the acute physiology and chronichealth evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, quick SOFA (qSOFA) score and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) score for the prognosis of septic patients. Methods A retrospective analysis were conducted. Septic patients in intensive care unit (ICU) of the First People's Hospital of Chenzhou form July 1st, 2012 to June 30th, 2016 were enrolled.Patients were divided into survival group and death group according to 28-day outcome. The difference of clinic data, the worst clinical index value within 24 hours, whether mechanical ventilation performed on first day, length of stay in ICU, APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score, qSOFA score and SIRS score were compared between the two groups. The significant different factors of sepsis outcome in univariate analysis were analyzed by multiple logistic regression, and the ability of four scoring systems was tested by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results 311 patients were enrolled in this study (221 survivals, 90 deaths, 28-day mortality rate 28.9%). Univariate analysis showed age, mechanical ventilation ratio, urine output, length of stay in ICU and the fastest heart beat rate (HR), the lowest systolic blood pressure (SBP), the lowest mean arterial pressure (MAP), HCO3-, minimum arterial blood oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), minimum oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2), the maximum fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), Na+, the highest concentration of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), the highest concentration of serum creatinine (SCr), minimum concentration of plasma albumin (Alb), Glasgow coma score (GCS) score, APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score, qSOFA score, within 24 hours after diagnosis were significantly different between two groups (allP < 0.05). Multiple logistic regression showed age [odds ratio (OR) = 1.388, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.074-1.794,P = 0.012], PaO2/FiO2 (OR = 0.459, 95%CI = 0.259-0.812,P = 0.007), concentration of plasma Alb (OR = 0.523, 95%CI = 0.303-0.903,P = 0.020), GCS score (OR = 0.541, 95%CI = 0.303-0.967,P = 0.038) and SOFA scores (OR = 3.189, 95%CI = 1.813-5.610,P = 0.000) were independent risk factors for sepsis outcome. ROC curve test showed the APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score and qSOFA score had the ability to predict the outcome in critical ill patients with sepsis, the SOFA score of the most powerful, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.700,when the cut-off value was 7.5 points, the sensitivity was 73.3% and specificity was 58.8%.Conclusions APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score and qSOFA score have the predictive properties for septic patients. SOFA score is an independent prognostic risk factor of sepsis, while qSOFA score can be widely used in clinical practice as the advantage of quick evaluating.

Objective To explore the related protein which lead to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to find different proteins associated with active RA by comparing the expression levels of proteins in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of healthy individuals to patients with rheumatoid arthritis using a proteomics approach. Methods Samples of peripheral blood were collected from 9 patients diagnosed as active RA and 9 healthy individuals. PBMCs were isolated from blood using lymphoeytes separation medium. The total protein was extracted from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The total protein from either RA patients or normal controls was prepared by means of immobilized pH gradient based on two-dimensional gel eleetrophoresis. After Coomassie brilliant blue G250 staining, gel-image analysis was performed by using PDQuest.The differentially expressed proteins were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALD I-TOF-MS). Then APOA-I was validated by RT-PCR. Results 2-DE patterns of PBMCs from controls and RA patients were presented. The results showed that the average number of protein spots was 556 and 579 respectively, and the corresponding average matching rate was 89.4% and 88.5% respectively. Gel-image analysis revealed that there were 23 differential protein spots. Fourteen of total 18 differential protein spots were successfully identified by MALD I-TOF-MS, of which 8 proteins were upregulated such as actin beta, fibrinogen beta chain, ApoA-I ; and 6 proteins such as peroxiredoxin-2, glu-tathione S-transferase omega 1 were down-regulated when compared with controls. The result of ApoA-I by RT-PCR was consistent with the proteomics results. Conclusion Some differentially expressed proteins are observed in the PBMCs of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which may play a potential role in the pathogenesis of RA.
