Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the complex clinical syndrome attributed to multiple causes and risk factors, which is characterized by an abrupt loss of renal function. Metabonomics, recently advances in the field of omics, is the nontargeted measurement of all of the low-molecularweight compounds that appear in a particular cell, tissue, organ or biofluid in a living organism. Compared to genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics,metabonomics has its unique advantages, including fewer metabolites than genes, transcripts and proteins, the most accurate predictors of the signature of the actual processes, easy access to biofluids. Thus, metabonomics makes it possible to find new biomarkers for AKI on early diagnosis, identifying new metabolic pathways, finding new targets for drug therapy and individual medical treatment.

Agreements were found among them ( P was 0.002 and 0.005 respectively ) .The concordance between single and multiplex RT-qPCR was 88.1%( The test values was 12.364 ) .Agreement was found between them (P was 0.001).Conclusions No correlations were found among different molecular methods to detect CTC in the early primary breast cancer , but correlations were found in the metastatic breast cancer , suggesting that different rate of CTC caused by the number of CTC and its heterogeneity should be considered to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer while molecular method is used .

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) on brain cell apoptosis rate and serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) concentration after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) in neonatal rats. MethodsForty-eight HIBD models of 7-day old neonatal Wistar rats were established and then divided into two groups randomly:PDGF group and normal saline control group (n =24 in each).Another 24 neonatal Wistar rats were taken into the sham operation group.The treatment group received intraperitoneal injection of PDGF-BB (50 ng/kg) once,while the other two groups received normal saline at the same time.In each group,rats were randomly sacrificed immediately at 12,24 and 72 hours after injection (n=8).The serum of rats were reserved for NSE concentration determination by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,and the right brains of the sacrificed rats were used to prepare brain cell suspension for neurocyte apoptosis rate examination by flow cytometry.Mono-variate analysis and q-test were performed for statistical analysis. Results(1) The brain cell apoptotic rates of treatment group [ (6.09 ± 0.70)％,(9.67 ± 1.52) ％ and (14.15±1.52)％] and control group [(8.00± 1.10)％,(11.45±2.42)％ and (22.90±2.03) ％] were significantly increased compared to that of sham group [(2.11 ± 0.54)％,(2.34 ±0.46)％ and (2.21±0.49)％] at all time points (all P＜0.01 or ＜0.05),the apoptotic rate of treatment group was lower than that of control group (P＜0.01 or ＜0.05).Statistical differences were found among the three groups at 12,24 and 72 hours (F =39.01,66.60 and 194.20respectively; P＜0.01).(2) Serum NSE concentration was significantly increased in the treatment group [(8.43 ± 0.17) μg/L,(6.73 ± 0.16) μg/L and (6.12 ± 0.13) μg/L] and control group [(10.04±0.19) μg/L,(9.330.15) μg/L and (8.36 ± 0.16) μg/L] than in the sham group [(4.22±0.53) μg/L,(3.96±0.60) μg/L and (3.59±0.55) μg/L] at all time points,and it was significantly lower in treatment group than in control group (P＜ 0.01).Statistical difference was found among three groups at 12,24 and 72 hours (F=371.25,245.61 and 236.22 respectively,P＜0.01). ConclusionsPDGF might have neuroprotective effect,which could inhibit apoptosis of neural cells and decrease the serum NSE concentration.

Objective To confirm the predictive value of diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) on successful weaning by bedside ultrasound in patients with myasthenia gravis crisis. Methods A prospective study was conducted. The patients with myasthenia gravis crisis undergoing mechanical ventilation admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from March 2015 to February 2017 were enrolled. All patients underwent a low level pressure support mode of spontaneous breathing test (SBT), and rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) was recorded. The indicators of right diaphragm thickness at the end of inspiration (DTei) and expiration (DTee) were determined by bedside ultrasound at 5 minutes and 60 minutes of SBT, and DTF was calculated, the changes in above parameters were observed during SBT. The patients were divided into successful weaning group and failure weaning group, and the differences in above indexes were compared between the two groups. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of DTF and RSBI at 60 minutes of SBT on successful weaning. Results A total of 37 patients were enrolled in the study. Ultrasonic measurement data of 63 person-times at 5 minutes of SBT and 50 at 60 minutes of SBT were obtained. There were no statistical differences in RSBI, DTei, DTee, and DTF at 5 minutes of SBT between successful weaning group (n = 33) and failure weaning group (n = 30). At 60 minutes of SBT, compared with successful weaning group (n = 33), the patients in failure weaning group (n = 17) had a higher RSBI (times·min-1·L-1: 80.41±29.08 vs. 63.94±23.84, t = 2.146, P = 0.037), and lower DTee, DTei and DTF [DTee (mm): 22.00±6.25 vs. 25.45±4.99, t = 2.127, P = 0.039; DTei (mm): 27.94±6.19 vs. 38.48±6.15,t = 5.731, P = 0.000; DTF: (24.46±14.11)% vs. (62.04±30.21)%, t = 4.845, P = 0.000]. There were no statistical differences in RSBI, DTei, DTee, and DTF between 5 minutes and 60 minutes of SBT in 33 person-time successful weaning (all P > 0.05). In 17 person who had 60 minutes of SBT but failed weaning, the RSBI at 60 minutes of SBT was significantly higher than that at 5 minutes (times·min-1·L-1: 80.41±29.08 vs. 57.29±22.46, t = 2.400, P = 0.029), and DTei and DTF were significantly decreased [DTei (mm): 27.94±6.19 vs. 35.35±6.84, t = 3.024, P = 0.000; DTF:(24.46±14.11)% vs. (61.89±23.97)%, t = 5.810, P = 0.000], but the change of DTee during SBT showed no statistical significance. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of DTF at 60 minutes of SBT for predicting successful weaning was 0.898; when DTF ≥ 27.9% as the cut-off point, the sensitivity was 93.9%, specificity was 70.6%. The AUC of RSBI for predicting successful weaning was 0.669; when RSBI ≥ 86.50 times·min-1·L-1 as the cut-off point, the sensitivity was 81.8%, specificity was 52.9%. Conclusion DTF at 60 minutes of SBT is the effective index of successful weaning prediction in mechanical ventilation patients with myasthenia gravis crisis.

Objective To investigate the effect of preoperative carbohydrate fluid intake on postoperative insulin resistance and immune function.Methods Sixty elective gastroenteric tumor resection patients were randomly divided into test (n =30) and control (n =30) groups.Control group were fasted before surgery,while test group were given oral carbohydrate before surgery.The blood samples were collected to measure the levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG),fasting insulin (FINS),and cellular immunity (CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 +,and CD4 +/CD8 +) before operation and 1,3,7 day postoperation,respectively.Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) was applied to assess the status of insulin resistance.Results Compared to preoperation,the levels of CD4 +,CD4 + / CD8 +,and HOMA-IR at 1 day postoperation in both control and test groups were significantly higher (P ＜ 0.05).Compared to test group,the levels of CD4 +,CD4 +/CD8 +,and HOMA-IR at 1,3 day postoperation in control group were significantly higher (P ＜ 0.05).At the seventh day after surgery,HOMA-IR levels in the test group were returned to the preoperative level (P ＞ 0.05),while the control group was still higher than before surgery (P ＜ 0.05).There were no differences in CD4 + and CD4+/CD8 + at seventh days after surgery between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Preoperative carbohydrate administration may shorten the insulin resistance duration after gastrointestinal cancer surgery,reduce the intensity of insulin resistance,and improve immune function.Thus contributes to the rehabilitation of patients.

Objective To evaluate the early emergency management process for severe pelvic fractures combined with multiple trauma. Methods The study involved 113 patients with severe pelvic fractures combined with multiple trauma treated from January 2007 to May 2011.The patients were divided into two groups,ie,before trauma team establishment (26 patients treated from January 2007 to May 2008) and after trauma team establishment (87 patients treated from June 2008 to May 2011 ) in accordance with the establishment period of trauma team in June 2008.The mortality was compared before and after application of trauma-team-based algorithm with damage control resuscitation,external fixation and angiographic embolization.Variables including age and gender distribution,ISS score,injury type and mechanism,transportation time,associated injury number,initial systolic pressure hemoglobin and blood transfusion were analyzed for study of their relation with mortality. Results After trauma team establishment,the mortality (23％) was significantly lower than before trauma team establishment (46％).The mortality showed significant relation to ISSN score and over two regions of associated injury,but showed no correlation with age and gender distribution,injury type and mechanism,transportation time initial systolic pressure hemoglobin,and blood transfusion. Conclusion The application of trauma team is effective in treatment of severe pelvic fractures combined with multiple trauma and can decrease the mortality.

AIM: HLCDG1 is a novel gene cloned recently, and its expression inhibits significantly the growth of A549 cells and tumorigenesis of A549 cells transplanted in nude mice. In this study, our aim was to construct HLCDG1 gene short/small interference double-strand RNA (siRNAs) expression vector and to observe its influence on cell cycle and proliferation of A549 cells. METHODS: Using RNA interference (RNAi) techniques, a DNA vector-driven siRNAs expression vector was constructed, and a lung carcinoma cell line stably expressing siRNAs was also selected. Sequentially, using flow cytometry analysis and MTT assay, the changes of cell cycle and cell proliferation in this cell line were observed. RESULTS: Four site-match and one site-mismatch plasmids were constructed, which were named pHL-si-1, pHL-si-2, pHL-si-3, pHL-si-4 and pHL-si-c. These plasmids were co-transfected with a pcDNA3.1(+)/HLCDG1 plasmid into A549 cells, respectively. Among five co-transfected A549 cell lines, a A549 cell line co-transfected by the pcDNA3.1(+)/HLCDG1 and pHL-si-1 plasmids, namely A549-HLCDG1-si-1, showed nearly complete inhibition of HLCDG1 expression. MTT assay and flow cytometry analysis indicated that A549-HLCDG1-si-1 cells, namely the HLCDG1 gene-silencing cells, got a faster growth compared with other HLCDG1 expression cell lines, and that HLCDG1 gene-silencing induced A549-HLCDG1-si-1 cells into S phase and G_2+M phase significantly. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the HLCDG1 gene is proved to have a markedly inhibitory effect on growth in A549 lung carcinoma cells. This study might provide some understanding of the biological function and molecular mechanism of HLCDG1 gene.
