Objective: To explore the risk factors of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) in septic patients, and to establish an hour-specific prediction model.
Methods: Based on the information of septic patients in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care- IV (MIMIC- IV) database, general information, comorbidities, vital signs, severity scoring system, laboratory indicators, invasive operations and medication use were recorded. The enrolled patients were randomized into a training set and a validation set according to a ratio of 7 : 3. AKI was diagnosed according to the guidelines of Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO). Based on Lasso regression and Cox regression, the risk factors of severe AKI (AKI stage 2 and stage 3) in septic patients were analyzed and hour-specific prediction model were established. Consistency index (C-index), area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration curve were used to assess the predictive efficacy of the model.
Results: A total of 20 551 septic patients were enrolled, including 14 385 patients in the training set and 6 166 patients in the validation set. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that atrial fibrillation [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.266, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.150-1.393], heart failure (HR = 1.348, 95%CI was 1.217-1.493), respiratory failure (HR = 1.565, 95%CI was 1.428-1.715), heart rate (HR = 1.004, 95%CI was 1.002-1.007), mean arterial pressure (HR = 1.245, 95%CI was 1.126-1.377), lactic acid (HR = 1.051, 95%CI was 1.025-1.077), simplified acute physiology score II (SAPS II, HR = 1.019, 95%CI was 1.016-1.023), serum creatinine (HR = 1.171, 95%CI was 1.127-1.216), anion gap (HR = 1.024, 95%CI was 1.010-1.038), serum potassium (HR = 1.155, 95%CI was 1.079-1.236), white blood cell count (HR = 1.006, 95%CI was 1.003-1.009) and furosemide use (HR = 0.414, 95%CI was 0.368-0.467) were independently associated with severe AKI in septic patients (all P < 0.01). The above predictors were applied to construct an hour-specific prediction model for the occurrence of severe AKI in septic patients. The C-index of the prediction model was 0.723 and 0.735 in the training and validation sets, respectively. The AUC for the occurrence of severe AKI at 12, 24, and 48 hours were 0.795 (95%CI was 0.782-0.808), 0.792 (95%CI was 0.780-0.805), and 0.775 (95%CI was 0.762-0.788) in the training set, and the AUC were 0.803 (95%CI was 0.784-0.823), 0.791 (95%CI was 0.772-0.810), and 0.773 (95%CI was 0.752-0.793) in the validation set, respectively. The calibration curves of the two cohorts were in good agreement.
Conclusions: The hour-specific prediction model effectively identifies high-risk septic patients for developing severe AKI within 48 hours, aiding clinicians in stratifying patients for early therapeutic interventions to improve outcomes.

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>To observe the effect of Xuebijing injection on sepsis combined with acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI), and analyze the risk factors of sepsis combined with AGI.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Patients with non-gastrointestinal origin admitted to the department of intensive care medicine of the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao from May 1, 2021 to October 30, 2023 were enrolled. The baseline data, source of sepsis infection, vital signs, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), laboratory tests, comorbidities, interventions during treatment, and the 28-day prognosis were collected. The patients were divided into Xuebijing group and non-Xuebijing group according to whether Xuebijing injection was used or not. According to whether AGI was merged or not, patients were divided into merged AGI group and non-merged AGI group. The main observational indexes were the difference in the incidence of AGI between the Xuebijing group and non-Xuebijing group and the difference in the magnitude of the decline in procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cell count (WBC) at 7 days after admission, and the difference in the 28-day morbidity and mortality. Risk factors for AGI in septic patients were explored by univariate analysis, and statistically significant indicators were screened and included in binary Logistic regression analysis to determine independent risk factors.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 129 patients with sepsis of non-gastrointestinal origin were enrolled, including 57 patients in the Xuebijing group and 72 patients in the non-Xuebijing group.

Thirty-two male C57/BL6 mice were divided into Sham group, AMI model group, miR-33b-5p mimic group [miR-33b-5p mimic lentivirus (5×10<sup>7</sup> TU) was injected locally into the heart tissue during ligation] and miR-33b-5p inhibitor group [miR-33b-5p inhibitor lentivirus (5×10<sup>7</sup> TU) was injected locally into the heart tissue during ligation] according to random number table method, with 8 mice per group. Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) were asseessed by echocardiography, left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were calculated. After the last weighing, the anesthetized mice were sacrificed and the heart tissues were taken. Masson staining of the heart tissues was observed under light microscope, myocardial collagen volume fraction (CVF) and infarct size were calculated. Cardiomyocytes of SPF grade SD rats were collected. They were divided into normal control group (control group), ischemia-hypoxia model group, miR-33b-5p mimic transfection group (miR-33b-5p mimic transfection group before ischemia and hypoxia treatment) and miR-33b-5p inhibitor transfection group (miR-33b-5p inhibitor transfection group before ischemia and hypoxia treatment). The activity of caspase-3/7 in cardiomyocytes was measured. The levels of interleukins (IL-1β, IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), creatine kinase (CK), MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were detected by colorimetry.

The animal model of cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA-CPR) is the cornerstone of resuscitation research, serving as a tool to address adverse outcomes after cardiac arrest (CA). However, due to the different causes of CA, the pathophysiological changes of CA are not identical. Therefore, the preparation of similar animal models for different types of CA is the basis for studying the pathophysiological changes of CA. Rats are favored by researchers because of their low experimental cost, easy operation, and similar hemodynamic parameters and pathophysiological changes during resuscitation. This paper reviewed the common methods of animal models of CA-CPR in rats. In this review, the methods, criteria, advantages, disadvantages and precautions of each model were analyzed, which would provide useful reference for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) researchers.
心脏骤停-心肺复苏(CA-CPR)动物模型是复苏研究的基石,是解决心脏骤停(CA)后不良后果的工具。然而,由于导致心脏骤停的原因不同,其病理生理变化也不尽相同。因此,针对不同类型的 CA 制备相似的动物模型是研究 CA 病理生理变化的基础。大鼠因其实验成本低、操作简便、复苏时血流动力学参数和病理生理变化相似而受到研究者的青睐。本文综述了大鼠 CA-CPR 动物模型的常用方法。在综述中,分析了每种模型的方法、标准、优缺点和注意事项,为心肺复苏(CPR)研究人员提供了有益的参考。

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides continuous extracorporeal respiratory and circulatory support for patients with severe heart and lung failure, in order to maintain their lives. Currently, ECMO is an advanced organ support technology and its application in the clinical field of critical care is becoming increasingly common. When ECMO is implemented via percutaneous cannulation at the bilateral femoral artery and vein, the traditional patient pants cannot be used, which leads to exposure of privacy, easy catching of cold, and easy contamination of bed sheets and covers during defecation, making the patient uncomfortable and increasing the risk of infection. Changing bed sheets and covers not only increases the workload of nurses, but also easily causes pipeline displacement or slipping. It is inconvenient to observe the patient's bleeding, displacement, or dislodgement of the pipeline at any time when wearing patient pants. To solve the problems, nursing staff in the emergency intensive care unit of Henan Provincial People's Hospital have designed a protective skirt specifically designed for patients undergoing ECMO, which has obtained a National Utility Model Patent of China (patent number: ZL 2020 2 08120022.9). The special protective skirt for patients with ECMO mainly consists of a skirt body, a transparent observation window, a hip support part, and a fecal collection part. The transparent observation window is convenient for the puncture site and pipeline observation. After the hip support part is inflated, the patient can separate the perianal skin and urine and feces to avoid the occurrence of incontinence dermatitis. The fecal collection part can collect urine and feces to keep the bed unit clean. The protective skirt has a simple structure and is easy to wear and take off. While protecting patient privacy and ensuring patient comfort, it can also observe the condition of the pipeline at any time. It is suitable for patients with lower limb catheterization or urinary and fecal incontinence, and has certain clinical application and promotion value.

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>To evaluate the difference in efficacy of two fluid resuscitation regimens, crystalloid alone versus crystalloid combined with plasma infusion, on the prognosis of septic patients with hypoalbuminemia.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A retrospective study was conducted. Septic patients with hypoalbuminemia admitted to the department of critical care medicine of Dongtai People's Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022 were selected as study subjects. Patients were divided into single group (crystalloid alone) and combined group (crystalloid combined with plasma) according to the fluid resuscitation regimen at the time of admission. General information, as well as coagulation indices before resuscitation (on day 1) and day 3 of resuscitation were collected. The primary study endpoint was 28-day mortality. The single and combined groups were stratified according to albumin level at resuscitation (< 25 g/L, 25-30 g/L, and > 30 g/L) to compare the differences in 28-day mortality among patients with different albumin levels. Kaplan-Meier survival curves of patients' 28-day prognosis were plotted.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 164 septic patients with hypoalbuminemia were included, including 60 patients in the single group and 104 patients in the combined group. (1) There were no significantly differences in age, gender, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), as well as pre-resuscitation platelet count (PLT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), D-dimer, antithrombin- III (AT- III), international normalized ratio (INR), fibrin degradation product (FDP), serum lactic acid (Lac), and albumin level between the two groups, indicating comparability. (2) The levels of PT and AT- III in the combined group improved significantly on day 3 compared to before resuscitation, and the level of AT- III in the combined group improved more significantly on day 3 compared to the single group [(79.80±17.95)% vs. (66.67±18.69)%, P < 0.01]. Lac and albumin levels improved significantly after resuscitation in both the single and combined groups, but there were no significantly differences in the degree of improvement between the two groups. (3) There was no significantly difference in the 28-day mortality between the single group and the combined group [55.0% (33/60) vs. 42.3% (44/104), P > 0.05]. The 28-day mortality of patients with albumin < 25 g/L was significantly higher than that with albumin 25-30 g/L and > 30 g/L [63.1% (41/65) vs. 36.2% (25/69), 36.7% (11/30), both P < 0.05]. (4) Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that there was no significantly difference in 28-day cumulative survival rate between the single group and the combined group (Log-Rank: χ <sup>2</sup> = 2.067,P = 0.151). The median survival rate of albumin was 27.1 g/L [95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 24.203-29.997] in the single group and 28.7 g

Demographic information, vital signs, comorbidities, laboratory parameters, critical illness scores, clinical treatment information, and clinical outcomes of sepsis patients were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care- IV (MIMIC- IV). A generalized additive model (GAM) combined with a Loess smoothing function was employed to analyze and visualize the nonlinear relationship between SpO<sub>2</sub> levels during hospitalization and in-hospital all-cause mortality. The optimal range of SpO<sub>2</sub> was determined, and Logistic regression model along with Kaplan-Meier curve were utilized to validate the association between the determined range of SpO<sub>2</sub> and in-hospital all-cause mortality.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 5 937 patients met the inclusion criteria, among whom 1 191 (20.1%) died during hospitalization. GAM analysis revealed a nonlinear and U-shaped relationship between SpO<sub>2</sub> levels and in-hospital all-cause mortality among sepsis patients during hospitalization. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis further confirmed that patients with SpO<sub>2</sub> levels between 0.96 and 0.98 during hospitalization had a decreased mortality compared to those with SpO<sub>2</sub> < 0.96 [hypoxia group; odds ratio (OR) = 2.659, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 2.190-3.229, P < 0.001] and SpO<sub>2</sub> > 0.98 (hyperoxia group; OR = 1.594, 95%CI was 1.337-1.900, P < 0.001).
