Objective To study the influence of different dialysis frequence on infection and prognosis of maintenance hemedialysis patients. Methods Fifty-three maintenance hemodialysis patients with chronic kidney disease were divided into 3 groups. Groups A, B, C dialysed thrice per week (19 cases),twice per week (15 cases) and thrice per two weeks (19 cases), respectively. All the patients were dialysed for 1 year. The rate of infection, death number and death reason were recorded. Results All the cases were infected 62 times (17 times in group A, 18 times in group B and 27 times in group C). Pulmonary infection,blood vessels infection, urinary tract infection and digestive tract infection happened 35 times(56.45% ), 14 times (22.58%), 8 times (12.90%) and 5 times (8.06%) respectively. Eight cases died in three groups,and the total death rate was 15.09%, with 1 case in group A,1 case in group B and 6 cases in group C.There was significant difference in prognosis among three groups (χ2 =6.293,P <0.05). Conclusions Patients who dialysis less than twice per week have higher rate of infection and death. Dialysis program should be adjusted and dialysis frequence should be increased.

Objective To investigate the reliability of extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) in assessing the severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in critically ill patients.Methods Forty-six patients with ARDS,who were admitted in our emergency intensive care unit,aged 18-72 yr,weighing 46-72 kg,of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ score 11-25,were divided into 3 groups:PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 100 mmHg severe group (n =16);100 mmHg ＜PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 200 mmHg moderate group (n =14);200 mmHg ＜PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 300 mmHg mild group (n=16).Before treatment,and at 24 and 72 h after diagnosis of ARDS,PVPI,EVLWI,cardiac index (CI),and intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI) were measured,and blood gas analysis was performed.PaO2/FiO2 was calculated.The 28 day fatality after admission to hospital was recorded.Person correlation of PVPI and EVLWI with PaO2/FiO2,ITBVI and CI was analyzed.Results The PVPI,EVLWI and fatality rate were significantly higher at each time point in moderate group and severe group than in mild group,and in severe group than in moderate group (P＜0.05).The correlation coefficient between PVPI and PaO2/FiO2 was 0.778,and between EVLWI and PaO2/FiO2 was-0.437 (P＜0.05).There was no correlation between CI and ITBVI (P＞0.05).The correlation coefficient between EVLWI and PaO2/FiO2 was-0.448,and between EVLWI and ITBVI was 0.347 (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between the correlation coefficient between PVPI and PaO2/FiO2 and the correlation coefficient between EVLWI and PaO2/FiO2 (P＜0.05).Conclusion PVPI and EVLWI both can assess the severity of ARDS in critically ill patients,showing a consistent reliability.
