Objective:To investigate the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on energy metabolism and thermal balance in ICU patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods:This study was a prospective observational study, which included AKI patients who underwent CRRT in ICU of the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from May 2020 to December 2023. The patients' general clinical characteristics, comorbidities, body temperature, disease severity score, CRRT treatment time and filter lifespan were recorded. The concentrations of glucose and lactate in blood and ultrafiltrate, and the citrate level in the ultrafiltrate when regional citrate anticoagulation adopted were analyzed regularly. Subgroup analysis was carried out according to different anticoagulation modes and whether the patients with diabetes or shock. The changes of energy metabolism and thermal balance corresponding to the changes in glucose, lactate, citrate and body temperature induced by CRRT were calculated daily.Results:This study included 420 AKI patients undergoing CRRT. When the blood lactate was between 14-18 mmol/L, there was a loss of approximately 200-250 kcal of energy per day, while the blood lactate was between 6.5-11.5 mmol/L, the daily corresponding energy loss was about 100-150 kcal. During CRRT on the first day, the patients with diabetes or shock had a mild decrease of blood glucose, while patients without diabetes and shock had mild increase of blood glucose. When the target of blood glucose was gradually achieved, the mean daily increase of energy corresponding to blood glucose intake was about 100-130 kcal in patients undergoing CRRT. The mean daily increase of energy corresponding to citrate intake was approximately 330 kcal, when the patient was undertaken by CRRT with regional citrate anticoagulation. For every 1℃ decrease in body temperature, the mean daily heat loss caused by extracorporeal thermal radiation during CRRT was about 200 kcal.Conclusions:When conducting nutritional assessment and prescription for AKI patients supported by CRRT in the ICU, it is essential to fully consider the impact of CRRT on the patient's energy metabolism and heat balance. This includes the clearance of lactate, the balance of blood glucose, the intake of citrate, and the reduction in body temperature. Additionally, the type and stage of the disease, as well as individual differences, must be taken into account to achieve personalized nutritional assessment and precise implementation.

In order to promote the innovative application of Sanjiao theory and Yingwei theory， this paper tries to apply the ''Sanjiao-Yingwei'' Qi transformation theory to the treatment of tumor diseases， integrating it with T cell exhaustion mechanism to elaborate on its scientific connotation and using network pharmacology and bioinformatics to elucidate the correlation between the anti-tumor mechanism of ''Sanjiao-Yingwei'' Qi transformation and T cell exhaustion. The ''Sanjiao-Yingwei'' Qi transformation function is closely related to the immunometabolic ability of the human body， and the ''Sanjiao-Yingwei'' Qi transformation system constitutes the immunometabolic exchange system within and outside the cellular environment. Cancer toxicity is generated by the fuzzy Sanjiao Qi， and the long-term fuzzy Sanjiao Qi is the primary factor leading to T cell exhaustion， which is related to the long-term activation of T cell receptors by the high tumor antigen load in the tumor microenvironment. Qi transformation malfunction of the Sanjiao produces phlegm and collects stasis， which contributes to T cell exhaustion and is correlated with nutrient deprivation， lipid accumulation， and high lactate levels in the immunosuppressed tumor microenvironment， as well as with the release of transforming growth factor-β and upregulated expression of programmed death receptor-1 by tumor-associated fibroblasts and platelets in the tumor microenvironment. Ying and Wei damage due to Sanjiao Qi transformation malfunction is similar to the abnormal manifestations such as progressive loss of exhausted T cell effector function and disturbance of cellular energy metabolism. Guizhi decoction， Shengming decoction， and Wendan decoction can correct T cell exhaustion and exert anti-tumor effects through multi-target and multi-pathways by regulating ''Sanjiao-Yingwei'' Qi transformation， and hypoxia inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α） may be one of the main pathways to correct T cell exhaustion. It was found that HIF-1α may be one of the important prognostic indicators in common tumors by bioinformatics. The use of the ''Sanjiao-Yingwei'' Qi transformation method may play an important part in improving the prognosis of tumor patients in clinical practice.
