Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response triggered by infection and often leads to acute kidney injury(AKI).The pathogenesis of sepsis-associated AKI is complex,involving multiple factors such as renal ischemia,inflammation and oxidative stress.In recent years,pyroptosis,a pro-inflammatory form of programmed cell death,has gradually attracted the attention of researchers.Pyroptosis is activated by inflammasomes(e.g.,the NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-related protein 3 inflammasome,NLRP3 inflammasome),accompanied by Gas-dermin D(GSDMD)-mediated formation of cell membrane pores and release of cellular contents,which leads to exacerbation of local and systemic inflammatory responses.The mechanism of pyroptosis in sepsis-associated AKI has not been fully elucidated,but AKI is directly involved in the process of renal functional impairment by indu-cing the death of renal tubular epithelial cells and exacerbating the local inflammatory response.Blockade of key molecules in the pyroptosis pathway,such as GSDMD or NLRP3 inflammasome,can significantly alleviate renal injury,suggesting that the pyroptosis pathway may be a potential therapeutic target for sepsis-associated AKI.This review summarizes the recent research progress on pyroptosis in sepsis-associated AKI,and discuss its cen-tral role in the pathogenesis,particularly focusing on the inflammasome and GSDMD pathways.Additionally,this paper analyzes the potential of focal death inhibition as a therapeutic strategy and proposes future research direc-tions with the expectation of providing references for the treatment of sepsis-related AKI.

This experimental study was designed to unravel the relationship between muscle tension and its electrophysiological property. The experiments on repetitive pulse stimulus in different current intensity to rabbit's motor nerve were performed in different pulse frequency by electromyography which applied electrical pulses and excited the tibial nerve, and by Instron 5544 machine which measured muscle tensions. The experimental data revealed that the tension force varied with the stimulus frequency in a quasi-parabolic relation, while it seemingly increased little with the stimulus intensity.

0.05).There existed a increased trend of the above parameters in group B.(2) Time of weaning from mechanical ventilation was shortened in group A than that in group B(P0.05),but were significant(P0.05).Conclusion Standardized nursing can increase the therapeutic effect on MG by reducing MG crisis and complication incidence,and improving quality of life of MG patients.
