However, the risk factors and outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after intracoronary stent implantation are still unknown. A retrospective case control study was done in 325 patients who underwent intracoronary stent implantation from January 2010 to March 2011 at the Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University School of Medicine. Those were excluded from the study if they had incomplete clinical data. The patients were divided into a normal group and a AKI group according to the standard of post-operation day 7 to identify AKI. The parameters of the patients included: 1) pre-operative ones: age, gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cerebrovascular disease, left ventricular insufficiency, peripheral angiopathy, creatinine, urea nitrogen, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), hyperuricemia, proteinuria, emergency operation, hydration, medications (ACEI/ARBs, statins); 2) intraoperative ones: dose of contrast media, operative time, hypotension; and 3) postoperative one: hypotension. The parameters were analyzed with univariate analysis and multivariate logistical regression analysis. Of the 325 patients, 51(15.7%) developed AKI. Hospital day and in-hospital mortality were increased significantly in the AKI-group. Univariate analysis showed that age, pre-operative parameters (left ventricular insufficiency, peripheral angiopathy, creatinine, urea nitrogen, estimated glomerular filtration rate, hyperuricemia, proteinuria, hydration), emergency operation, intraoperative parameters (operative time, hypotension) and postoperative hypotension were significantly different. However, multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that increased age (OR=0.253, 95%CI=0.088-0.727), pre-operative proteinuria (OR=5.351, 95%CI=2.128-13.459), pre-operative left ventricular insufficiency (OR=8.704, 95%CI=3.170-23.898), eGFR〈60 ml/min/1.73 m2 展开更多

The lung is one of the earliest organs affected by sepsisassociated with acute lung injury. High mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) is an important late-actingpro-infl ammatory cytokine involving in the pathophysiology of sepsis. It is also involved in the injuryprocess in the lung, liver and intestine. There has been no report on the involvement of HMGB1 inVibrio vulnifi cus sepsis-induced lung injury.METHODS: Sixty rats were randomly divided into a normal control group (group A, n=10) anda Vibrio vulnificus sepsis group (group B, n=50). Sepsis was induced in the rats by subcutaneousinjection of Vibrio vulnificus (concentration 6×108 cfu/mL, volume 0.1 mL/100g)) into the left lowerlimbs. The rats in group B were sacrifi ced separately 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after the infection.Their lungs were stored as specimens, lung water content was measured, and lung pathology wasobserved under a light microscope. The expressions of the HMGB1 gene and protein in the lungswere detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Data were analyzed with one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) and the LSD method for pair-wise comparison between the two groups. P〈0.05 wasconsidered statistically signifi cant.RESULTS: Compared to group A (0.652±0.177), HMGB1 mRNA expression in the lungs ofgroup B was signifi cantly higher at 0 hour (1.161±0.358, P=0.013), 24 hours (1.679±0.235, P=0.000),and 48 hours (1.258±0.274, P=0.004) (P〈0.05), and peaked at 24 hours. Compared to group A(0.594±0.190), HMGB1 protein expression at 6 hours (1.408±0.567, P=0.026) after infection wassignificantly increased (P〈0. 05), and peaked at 24 hours (2.415±1.064, P=0.000) after infection.Compared to group A (0.699±0.054), lung water content was significantly increased at 6 hours(0.759±0.030, P=0.001),12 hours (0.767±0.023, P=0.000), 24 hours (0.771±0.04展开更多
