ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate the incidence and mortality risk factors of pregnancy-related acute kidney injury (PR-AKI) in intensive care unit (ICU).@*Methods@#A retrospective analysis was conducted. Critically ill pregnancies admitted to ICU of Shandong University Affiliated Provincial Hospital from January 1st, 2012 to December 31st, 2016 were enrolled. Based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO)-acute kidney injury (AKI) criteria, patients were divided into two groups: PR-AKI group and non-PR-AKI group. Clinical characteristics and laboratory data of two groups were compared. Risk factors of incidence and mortality of PR-AKI patients were analyzed, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the value of these risk factors in predicting mortality of PR-AKI patients in ICU.@*Results@#①A total of 219 pregnancies in ICU were included in the analysis, 85 cases (38.8%) were diagnosed with PR-AKI, with 29.4% in AKI stage 1, 27.1% in AKI stage 2 and 43.5% in AKI stage 3. ②Nineteen of 219 critically ill pregnancies died in ICU, the total ICU mortality was 8.7%. The mortality of PR-AKI group was higher than non-PR-AKI group (16.5% vs. 3.7%, P = 0.003). The mortality was worsened with increasing severity of AKI (4.0% for AKI stage 1, 4.3% for AKI stage 2, 32.4% for AKI stage 3). ③Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) and lactate (Lac) were the independent risk factors for PR-AKI [AFLP: odds ratio (OR) = 6.081, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.587-23.308, P = 0.008; Lac: OR = 1.460, 95%CI was 1.078-1.977, P = 0.014]. ④ Age, Lac, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) were the independent risk factors associated with the mortality of PR-AKI patients in ICU (age: OR = 1.130, 95%CI was 1.022-1.249, P = 0.017; Lac: OR = 1.198, 95%CI was 1.009-2.421, P = 0.039; APACHEⅡ: OR = 1.211, 95%CI was 1.102-1.330, P < 0.001; SOFA: OR = 1.411, 95%CI was 1.193-1.669, P < 0.001). ⑤ ROC curve analysis showed that age, Lac, APACHEⅡscore and SOFA score all had good predictive values for in-hospital mortality among PR-AKI patients in ICU, the cut-off value was 29 years old, 3.8 mmol/L, 16 and 8, respectively, and the AUC was 0.751, 0.757, 0.892 and 0.919, respectively (all P < 0.01).@*Conclusions@#The incidence and mortality of PR-AKI of critically ill pregnancies in ICU are high. Increased age, Lac, APACHEⅡ score and SOFA score are independent risk factors associated with the mortality of PR-AKI patients in ICU, and have good predictive values for prognosis.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of iron dextran or iron sucrose on the stability of fat emulsion in total nutrient admixture (TNA) in pediatric settings.Methods TNA with different intravenous doses of iron sucrose or iron dextran (0.25,0.5,0.75,or 1.00 mg) were prepared,and each dose was prepared 10 bags.The TNAs were stored at 25 ℃ for 3 days,and the stability of fat emulsion was observed by electron scanning microscopy.Meanwhile,the pH and osmolality were also measured.Results The particle sizes of fat emulsions in TNA with different concentrations of iron sucrose or iron dextran at different time points were not significantly different (F =0.32,P =0.7836 ; F =1.73,P =0.1321,respectively).The mean particle size of the fat emulsion in each group was ＜ 0.5 μm within 72 hours.For TNA containing different concentrations of iron,the percentage of particles ＞ 0.5 μm,pH,and osmotic pressure showed no significant difference at different time points (percentage:F =1.47,P =0.3467 ; F =1.04,P =0.4758.pH:F =0.63,P =0.5942 ; F =0.46,P =0.6825.osmotic pressure:F =1.37,P =0.3648 ; F =0.65,P =0.6023).Conclusion The TNA addeded with iron sucrose or iron dextran with an concentrations of ＜ 1％ is stable.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the relation ship of obesity with high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes and to find characteristics of the prevalence. MethodsFrom different BMI groups,2,090 cases aged 60-86 years were randomly collected according to the medical and health information.Hypertension and diabetes were diagnosed by WHO international diagnostic criteria.ResultsIn hypertension group (976 cases), average body mass index (BMI), pulse pressure ( PP), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), fasting blood glucose (FBG) showed significant difference compared with non-hypertention group (1114 cases) (all P＜0.01)[(26.32±3.66)kg/m2 , (16.28±13.21 )mm Hg, (4.78±1.23) mmol/L, (1.79±1.36) mmol/L, (5.61±1.37) mmol/L vs. (25.28± 3.36) kg/m2, ( 11.37 ± 9.39) mm Hg, (4.54 ± 1.23 ) mmol/L, ( 1.52 ± 1.12) mmol/L, ( 4.28 ±2.12)mmol/L].In diabetes group (272 cases), average BMI, PP, TC, TG and FBG showed significant difference as compared with non-diabetes group (1818 cases)(all P＜0.01)[(26. 29±3.24)kg/m2 , (82.43± 10.22) mm Hg, (18.77±10.11) mm Hg, (4.85±2.05) mmol/L, (1.76± 1.76)mmol/L vs. (24.13±3.42) kg/m2 , (80.38±6.87) mm Hg, (12.26±9.56) mm Hg, (4.36± 1.21)mmol/L, (1.52± 1.21) mmol/L]. In normal blood lipids group, BMI, PP, and FBG were found significant differences compared with high TC or TG group (all P＜0.05).ConclusionsThe increase of body mass index in the elderly has a close relationship with hypertension and type 2 diabetes. It is important to prevent obesity in the prevention and control of hypertension and diabetes.
