The incidence of augmented renal clearance (ARC) in intensive care patients (ICU) is exceptionally high, and these patients are often co-morbid with infection. The occurrence of ARC will significantly increase the clearance rate of antibiotics, making it difficult for conventional doses to reach effective therapeutic concentrations and affect the patient's anti-infective treatment effect and prognosis. It can be seen that it is crucial to formulate a reasonable dosing regimen for ICU patients with ARC. Regrettably, few reports in China about the adjustment strategy of antibiotic dosing regimens for ARC patients. Therefore, this article reviews the domestic and foreign literature for reference to provide evidence for medical personnel to adjust the dose of antibacterial drugs for such patients.

Objective:To study the survival outcomes in patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with sorafenib combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) versus sorafenib alone.Methods:The data of 92 patients with BCLC stage C HCC at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute& Hospital from January 2008 to December 2015 were retrospectively studied. There were 82 males and 10 females. The average age was 56.3 years. Classified according to whether there were vascular invasion and/or distant metastasis, patients were divided into the vascular invasion group ( n=24), the metastasis group ( n=48), and the vascular invasion combined with metastasis group ( n=20). All patients were treated with sorafenib, but some patients received combined treatment with TACE. The survival data of these patients on follow-up was collected. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and the survival rates were compared by the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to determine the prognostic factors of patients’ survival. Results:There were no significant differences in the baseline clinical data among the three groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that pre-treatment alpha fetal protein >20 μg/L ( HR=1.90, 95% CI: 1.13-3.12), alkaline phosphatase >125 U/L ( HR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.03-2.49) and sorafenib alone ( HR=2.11, 95% CI: 1.23-3.54) were independent risk factors of survival for these patients. There were no significant differences in the cumulative survival rates among the three groups ( P>0.05). In the vascular invasion group, the cumulative survival rates of patients treated with combined sorafenib and TACE ( n=4) were significantly higher than those treated with sorafenib alone ( n=20) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with sorafenib alone, sorafenib combined with TACE resulted in better prognosis for patients with BCLC stage C HCC. Subgroup analysis showed that patients with vascular invasion had significantly better survival treated with combined sorafenib and TACE than sorafenib alone.

Objective To investigate the effects of transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) 7 on dexamethasone (Dex)-mediated cytoskeleton remodeling in human trabecular meshwork.Methods Human trabecular meshwork cells (HTMs) were primarily cultured and the cells of generation 3 to 6 were used in this study.The expression of TRPM7 protein in the cells was located using immunofluorescence technology.Dex at the dose of 0.2 mg was added into culture medium for 4 days with the final concentration of 1×10-5,1×10-6 and 1×10-7 mol/L,respectively.Western blot assay was employed to detect the relative expression level of TRPM7 protein.Cultured cells were divided into non-transfected group,siRNA transfected group,TRPM7-siRNA1 transfected group and TRPM7-siRNA2 transfected group,and the expressions of TRPM7 protein and p-cofilin protein in the cells were assayed by Western blot method.Cultured cells were divided into normal control group,Dex-treated group,siRNA transfected group and TRPM7-siRNA transfected group,and the expression of phalloidin (a cytoskeletal protein) and Vinculin (focal adhesion protein) was detected by immunofluorescence staining.In addition,cultured cells were divided into normal control group,Dex-treated group,2-APB (a Ca2+ inhibitor) treated group,ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA) (a calcium chelator)-treated group,TRPM7-siRNA transfected group and TRPM7-siRNA+Dex group,and the [Ca2+] i in the cells was observed by Fluo-3AM immunofluorescence staining.Western blot assay was used to detect the expression of p-cofilin in the cells.Results TRPM7 was positively expressed on the cell membrane.The relative expression of TRPM7 was gradually reduced with an increase of Dex dose (F=4.210,P<0.05),and the expression of TRPM7 was significantly decreased in 1 × 10-5 mol/L Dex group compared with the normal control group (P< 0.05).Western blot assay revealed that the relative expression levels of TRPM7 in the TRPM7-siRNA1 and TRPM7-siRNA2 group were significantly lower than those of non-siRNA transfected group and siRNA transfected group (all at P<0.05).In the Dex-treated group and TRPM7-siRNA transfected group,the cells were enlarged in size with the lessened processes in comparison with the normal control group.Immunofluorescence staining showed that the actin fiber and vinculin increased in the Dex-treated group,and more spread but depolymerized actin fiber was seen in the TRPM7-siRNA transfected group.Compared with the normal control group,the fluorescence intensity of [Ca2×] i was weak in the Dex-treated group and TRPM7-siRNA transfected group.The relative expression levels of p-confilin protein was lower in the TRPM7-siRNA transfected group than that in the siRNA transfected group (0.317 ±0.031 vs.0.092±0.071) (t =5.030,P =0.007).Conclusions Dex induces the downregulation of TRPM7 expression in HTMs.The downregulation of TRPM7 probably participates in Dex-induced cytoskeletal remodeling by causing the depolymerization of actin cytoskeleton and reduction of [Ca2+] i in HTMs.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between metabolic syndrome( MS) and occupational stress among workers in high altitude area. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 940 workers as research subjects who were engaged in petroleum smelting,thermal power generation and financial management et al. in high altitude area. A questionnaire survey was conducted using the Occupational Stress Inventory-Revised for occupational stress, The occupational health examination was performed to measure waist circumference,blood pressure,blood sugar and blood lipids. RESULTS: The abnormal rates in obesity,triglycerides,high-density lipoprotein,blood pressure and fasting blood glucose were 28. 3%,16. 3%,14. 3%,13. 3% and 6. 5%, respectively. The detection rate of MS was 5. 0%( 47/940). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of elevated MS decreased with the increased of occupational stress level( P < 0. 05),and the risk of elevated MS increased with the increased of occupational stress reaction severity( P < 0. 05),after adjusting the confounding factors of gender and labor nature. CONCLUSION: The higher occupational stress reaction of the workers in high altitude area,the higher the risk of MS.
