Objective:To investigate the correlation between statins and contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) and provide a reference basis for clinical practice.Methods:It was a retrospective cohort study. The adult patients were admitted to Peking University First Hospital from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020, and received at least one intravascular iodinated contrast administration during hospitalization. The clinical data of the patients were collected. The enrolled patients were divided into statin group and non-statin group according to statin exposure. The exposure of statins was defined as use of any type of statins within 48 hours before iodinated contrast administration. The primary outcome was in-hospital AKI defined as AKI developed after contrast administration and before discharge, with 30 days as the endpoint observation time, and the secondary outcome was post-contrast AKI (PC-AKI) defined as AKI onset within 72 hours after contrast administration. Cox regression model was applied to investigate the correlation between statin prescription prior to contrast administration and clinical outcomes. Pre-specified interaction analysis was conducted to examine modification effect of age, gender, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), diabetes and the injection method of contrast.Results:Among 10 321 enrolled patients, the age was 63 (54, 71) years old, and 6 274 (60.8%) patients were males. There were 2 372 (23.0%) patients taking statins before the use of iodinated contrast agents, and the person-time incidence rate of in-hospital AKI was 2.5 per 1 000 person-days. The person-time incidence rate of statin users and statin non-users was 3.2 and 2.4 per 1 000 person-days, respectively. Compared with the non-statin group, age, serum creatinine and the proportions of males, admitted to the intensive care unit, lipid metabolism disorder, hypertension, diabetes, cerebrovascular diseases, cardiovascular diseases, using renin-angiotensin- aldosterone inhibitors, using diuretics, using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, using proton pump inhibitors, iodinated contrast administration via artery, eGFR<60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1 were higher, while the proportions of general anesthesia surgery, severe liver diseases and tumors, and eGFR were lower in the statin group (all P<0.05). Among 10 321 patients, 5 867 patients had serum creatinine measurement within 72 hours after iodinated contrast administration, among which 70 patients (4.0 per 1 000 person-days) developed PC-AKI. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that statin use was an independent protective factor for in-hospital AKI ( HR=0.65, 95% CI 0.45?0.93, P=0.017) and PC-AKI ( HR=0.44, 95% CI 0.22?0.88, P=0.020). Subgroup analysis showed the significant interaction between diabetes and statin use ( P for interaction=0.039), and the protective effect of statins against in-hospital AKI was only observed in non-diabetic group ( HR=0.45, 95% CI 0.26?0.77). There were no significant differences in subgroups stratified by age, sex, baseline eGFR and the injection method of contrast (all P for interaction>0.05). Conclusions:Statin use prior to iodinated contrast administration is correlated with reduced risks of in-hospital AKI and PC-AKI in hospitalized patients, and the correlation between statin use and in-hospital AKI is more significant in non-diabetic patients. It is suggested that statin use before the application of iodinated contrast agents in hospitalized patients may prevent the occurrence of AKI.

Objective To investigate the effect of kaempferol(KAE)on the function of drug-resistant Bel-7402/5-Fu cells.Methods Bel-7402/5-Fu cells were treated with KAE,and cells were divided into the control group and the drug group(0.064,0.320,1.600,8,40,200 μmol/L KAE).Cells were divided into the si-NC group and the DNA-PKcs interference group,or the control group,the KAE group,the KAE+si-DNA-PKcs group or the KAE+DMSO group,the KAE+MG132 group and the KAE+CQ group based on interfering DNA dependent kinase catalytic subunits(DNA-PKcs)or addition of proteasome inhibitor MG132 or autophagy inhibitor CQ.Cell proliferation was detected using CCK-8.The expression level of histone H2AX phosphorylation(γ-H2AX),DNA-PKcs,DNA double strand break repair/V(D)J recombinant protein(Artemis)and drug pump gene(P-gp)were analyzed using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and Western blot assay.Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry.The stability of DNA-PKcs proteins was analyzed by protein stability experiments.Ubiquitination of DNA-PKcs protein was evaluated by immunoprecipitation assay.Results Compared to the control group,treating cells with 8 μmol/L KAE for 24 h inhibited about 50%of cell proliferation ability.Therefore,this time and concentration were chosen for subsequent research.Compared to the control group,the expression level of γ-H2AX mRNA and protein significantly increased,while expression levels of DNA-PKcs,Artemis and P-gp mRNA and proteins significantly decreased in the KAE group(P＜0.05).Compared to the control group,KAE promoted cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase of Bel-7402/5-Fu cells and increased cell apoptosis.Compared to the si-NC group,siRNA-1664 significantly downregulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of DNA-PKcs(P＜0.05).Compared with the KAE group,the effect of KAE was further promoted in the KAE+si-DNA-PKcs group of Bel-7402/5-Fu cells.Compared with the control group,the protein expression level of DNA-PKcs decreased in the KAE+DMSO group(P＜0.05).Compared with the KAE+DMSO group,the protein expression level of DNA-PKcs increased in the KAE+MG132 group(P＜0.05),while there was no significant change in the protein expression level of DNA-PKcs in the KAE+CQ group(P＞0.05).Compared to the control group,there was promoted ubiquitination of DNA-PKcs in the KAE+DMSO group,and the inhibited ubiquitination in the KAE+MG132 group(P＜0.05).Conclusion KAE may induce cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in drug-resistant Bel-7402/5-Fu cells.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors affecting the occurrence of complications in patients with vaginal bleeding after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection embryo transfer(IVF/ICSI-ET) and the construction of nomogram prediction model. Methods: A total of 272 patients with threatened abortion after IVF/ICSI-ET were retrospectively analyzed in this study. They were divided into the live birth group and abortion group according to the final outcome of pregnancy. Patient characteristics were evaluated using the chi-square test, independent-samples Student's t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test. A nomogram was created to predict the pregnancy outcome of women with threatened abortion who received IVF/ICSI using multivariate logistic regression coefficients. Results: There was no significant difference in the basic data, percentage of frozen embryos, treatment method, number of embryos transferred, high-quality embryo rate, and embryo implantation rate of the live birth group and abortion group(P>0.05). There were significant differences in body mass index, the onset of vaginal bleeding time after transplantation, serum levels of hCG and progesterone on 14 th day after embryo-transfer, and the number of gestational sacs between the two groups(P<0.05). After multivariate logistic regression analysis, the onset of vaginal bleeding time after transplantation and serum hCG levels on 14 th day after transfer were statistically significant(P<0.05). The nomogram was established based on the above indicators, with an area under the curve of 0.710 for the nomogram. The area under the ROC curve of our nomogram was better than the area under the ROC curve of a single risk factor(AUC of bleeding time after embryo-transfer: 0.644, AUC of serum hCG14:0.625). Conclusion The nomogram model established based on the onset of vaginal bleeding time after embryo-transfer and serum hCG value on 14 th day after embryo-transfer can better predict pregnancy outcome of patients with threatened abortion after IVF/ICSI-ET.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of manganese sulfate on blood pressure, myocardial ultrastructure and heart organ index of rats.

METHODSForty male SPF SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (0 mg/kg), 5 mg/kg dose group, 15 mg/kg dose group and 25 mg/kg dose group, 10 rats each group. Intraperitoneal injection was performed for six months, by five times each week, the rat blood pressure was measured by tail cuff method, and the heart organ index of the rats was computed. Three rats were selected from each group randomly, and the myocardial ultrastructure of the rats was observed by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The BMD and BMDL between manganese sulfate injected dose and the rats heart organ index were evaluated by BMD (Benchmark Dose).

RESULTSThere was no significant of blood pressure between the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05).The heart organ indexes of the four groups were 0.24% ± 0.10%, 0.25% ± 0.02%, 0.26% ± 0.02%, and 0.24% ± 0.02%. Statistical significance of heart organ indexes was found between the 15 mg/kg dose group and the control group (P < 0.05). Observed by TEM, we found that-different degrees of mitochondrial crest fracture or disappear, mitochondria swelling, hydropic change and myocardial fibers degeneration happened in the rats of the three exposed groups, but not the control group. The BMD and BMDL were calculated as 9.33 mg/kg and 4.28 mg/kg in the study of manganese sulfate injected dose and the rats heart organ index.

CONCLUSIONChronic manganese poisoning can lead to myocardial mitochondria superfine lesions, myocardial fiber damage and heart organ index change in rats.
