ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the value of endogenous digitalis-like factor (EDLF) dynamic changes in predicting myocardial injury and prognosis in patients with sepsis.Methods:A total of 160 sepsis patients admitted to the emergency department of Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from July 2017 to January 2019 were selected and divided into the myocardial injury(MI) group ( n=75) and the non-myocardial injury (NMI) group ( n=85) according to whether there was myocardial injury. The plasma EDLF concentration was tested on the 1 st, 3 rd and 7 th day after admission. The predictive factors of MI and 90-days outcome were evaluated by logistics regression analysis. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate the prognostic value of EDLF concentration on the 90 days after admission for sepsis. Results:Septic patients with MI had increased levels of myocardial enzymes, decreased left ventricular fractional shortening index (FS) and interventricular septum (IVS) amplitude and abnormal wall motion, when compared to NMI patients (all P<0.05). EDLF concentration on the 7 th day in the MI group was significantly lower than in the NMI group ( P=0.019). Logistic regression showed that EDLF 7 th was an independent protective factor for MI and 90-day mortality in sepsis respectively ( OR=0.964, 95% CI: 0.934-0.994, P=0.021; OR=0.931, 95% CI: 0.871-0.995, P=0.036). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis suggested that EDLF 7 th concentration <26.7 pmol/L was an independent predictor of 90-day mortality in patients with sepsis ( HR=4.601, 95% CI: 1.030-20.563, P=0.046). Conclusions:EDLF 7 th may serve as a protective factor for sepsis-induced MI and adverse outcome. The exogenous supplement of cardiotonic drugs at one week after MI may be a potential treatment to improve the survival rate of septic patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effects of early-life (intrauterine and breastfeeding period) exposure to angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor autoantibody (AT 1-AA) on lipid metabolism in offspring rats. Methods:Thirty-two AT 1-AA negative healthy nonpregnant specific pathogen free female Sprague Dawley rats weighing 150-170 g were randomly divided into two groups. Those in the immune group ( n=16) were subcutaneously injected with the mixture of an equal volume of Freund's adjuvant and the second extracellular loop of human-derived angiotensin Ⅱ receptor type 1 (AT1R-ECⅡ) repeatedly to establish the AT 1-AA-positive rat model by active immunization and those in the control group ( n=16) with normal saline solution. Before each immunization, blood samples were collected from the tail of rats to detect serum AT 1-AA levels of those rats in both groups, and the AT 1-AA-positive rat model was successfully established when the serum AT 1-AA was positive and its level reached a plateau. After eight weeks of immunization, the female rats in the two groups were mated with healthy AT 1-AA-negative male rats to conceive. Serum samples were collected from the maternal and offspring rats at the gestation of 18 days (G18), postnatal 21 days (P21), and from the normally fed offspring rats from the time of weaning to 12 weeks old (W12). Active immunization was not performed on the offspring throughout the experiment. The serum AT 1-AA levels of maternal and offspring rats were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and serum AT1-AA was positive when the ratio of AT1-AA level of the immune group over the control group ≥2.1. The blood lipid levels of maternal and offspring rats were measured by an automatic biochemical analyzer. Serum AT 1-AA levels, total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol [instead of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)], low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and free fatty acid levels of the offspring and maternal rats were determined for correlation analysis. Two independent sample t-test, linear regression analysis, and analysis of variance were adopted for statistical analysis. Results:(1) The serum levels of AT 1-AA in maternal rats at G18 and P21 in the immune group were significantly higher than those in the control group (G18: 1.170±0.190 vs 0.114±0.016, t=14.64; P21: 0.988±0.283 vs 0.084±0.006, t=9.57; both P<0.001). (2) The serum levels of AT 1-AA in the offspring at G18 and P21 in the immune group were significantly higher than those in the control group (offspring at G18: 0.948±0.220 vs 0.105±0.010, t=10.10; male offspring at P21: 0.758±0.273 vs 0.080±0.002, t=7.46; female offspring at P21: 0.774±0.274 vs 0.084±0.005, t=7.55; all P<0.001), which showed a positive correlation with those in maternal rats at the same period (offspring at G18: R=0.78; male offspring at P21: R=0.82; female offspring at P21: R=0.82; all P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the serum AT 1-AA level in offspring at W12 between the immune and control group ( P>0.05). (3) The serum levels of TC at G18 and P21, and HDL at P21 in maternal rats in the immune group were all higher than those in the control group [TC at G18: (2.36±0.32) vs (1.95±0.24) mmol/L, t=2.70; P21: (2.82±0.50) vs (2.18±0.26) mmol/L, t=3.41; HDL at P21: (1.94±0.33) vs (1.57±0.23) mmol/L, t=2.80; all P<0.05]. (4) Compared with the offspring in the control group, there was no significant change in lipid metabolism at G18 and W12 in the offspring in the immune group (both P>0.05). The serum levels of TC and HDL in male and female offspring at P21 in the immune group were higher than their counterparts in the control[TC in male offspring: (2.38±0.52) vs (1.83±0.30) mmol/L, t=2.73; HDL in male offspring: (1.44±0.32) vs (1.07±0.18) mmol/L, t=2.98; TC in female offspring: (2.50±0.72) vs (1.70±0.26) mmol/L, t=3.16; HDL in female offspring: (1.41±0.33) vs (1.00±0.14) mmol/L, t=3.41; all P<0.05]. (5) The serum levels of TC and HDL in male and female offspring at P21 in the immune group showed no correlation with those in maternal rats at P21 (all R<0.5, all P>0.05). The serum levels of HDL in male and female offspring at P21 in the immune group had a positive correlation with their own serum TC levels (male offspring: R=0.98; female offspring: R=0.97; both P<0.001) and also with their own serum AT 1-AA levels (male offspring: R=0.74, P=0.023; female offspring: R=0.91, P=0.001). The serum levels of TC in male and female offspring at P21 in the immune group had a positive correlation with their serum AT 1-AA levels (male offspring: R=0.72, P=0.030; female offspring: R=0.90, P=0.001). Conclusion:The early-life exposure to AT 1-AA may cause abnormal expression of TC and HDL in offspring rats.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of serum levels of miR-320 in sepsis children complicated with acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods:A total of 158 sepsis children with complicated with AKI who were admitted to Hainan Women and Children′s Medical Center from January 2017 to June 2019 were divided into survival group (105 cases) and death group (53 cases) according to their 28-day survival.Serum levels of miR-320, neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and serum creatinine (Scr) were detected in the two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of death in children with sepsis complicated with AKI.The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to analyze the value of serum levels of miR-320, NGAL, KIM-1 and Scr in predicting the death of children with sepsis complicated with AKI.The correlation between serum levels of miR-320 and NGAL, KIM-1 and Scr was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis. Results:The serum levels of miR-320 (1.28±0.47 vs. 0.54±0.12), NGAL [(537.40±48.26) mg/L vs. (285.60±29.40) mg/L], KIM-1 [(26.80±5.72) μg/ L vs. (16.35±3.17) μg/L] and Scr[(573.70±105.46) μmol/L vs. (390.64±74.38) μmol/L] in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group (all P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that serum levels of miR-320 ( OR=2.280, 95% CI: 1.483-4.380), NGAL ( OR=2.753, 95% CI: 1.826-5.227), KIM-1 ( OR=1.985, 95% CI: 1.274-3.518) and Scr ( OR=1.714, 95% CI: 1.105-2.986) were independent risk factors for death in sepsis children with AKI (all P<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (0.952, 95% CI: 0.894-0.990) of serum miR-320, NGAL, KIM-1 and Scr levels combined to predict the death of children with sepsis and AKI was the largest, with a high sensitivity and specificity of 95.8% and 90.6%.Correlation analysis showed that the expression level of serum miR-320 in the death group was positively correlated with NGAL, KIM-1 and Scr ( r=0.874, 0.830, 0.702, all P<0.01). Conclusions:Serum levels of miR-320 are significantly increased in sepsis children with AKI, which is an independent risk factor for death in sepsis children with AKI.The combination of NGAL, KIM-1 and Scr levels has important value in predicting the prognosis of children with AKI.

ABSTRACT

Due to the limited self-repair ability of neurons after injury, there has been a lack of effective treatments for nerve injury in clinical practice. So, to find drugs that promote the repair after nerve injury has become a research hotspot. Schwann cells and neurons play an important role in regeneration of the peripheral nerves after injury. This review summarizes the classification of peripheral nerve injury, the signaling pathways related to peripheral nerve regeneration in Schwann cells and neurons as well as diseases related to peripheral nerve injury, and provides a basis for further exploration of the regeneration mechanism after peripheral nerve injury.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the literature on power frequency electric field testing data and to propose views and suggestions for current testing.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The literature on power frequency electric field testing data published in the previous years was searched to identify 306 articles involving 193 valid testing data. Mann-Whitney test and Wilcoxon W test were used for analyzing the testing data.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The classification of data was carried out according to one quarter of occupational exposure limit (1.25 kV/m), one half of the exposure limit (2.5 kV/m), and the exposure limit (5 kV/m). The structure of testing data showed a significant difference between the non-power facility group and the power facility group (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>As occupational hazard factors, the radiation exposure from power frequency electric field is extensive. However, the power frequency electric field testing data in actual workplaces except high-voltage power facilities are far less than the occupational exposure limit with little harmfulness. There is a phenomenon of excessive testing at present.</p>
