Objective To investigate the predictive value of D-dimer （D-D）, lactic acid, and soluble platelet endothelial adhesion molecule-1（ sPECAM-1） in patients with sepsis-associated disseminated intravascular coagulation （DIC）. Methods According to the prognosis of patients at 28 days, 300 patients with sepsis-related DIC in the ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were gathered and split into death and survival groups. The two groups' general statistics, APACHEⅡ score, serum D-D, lactate, and sPECAM-1 levels were compared. The operating characteristic curve （ROC） was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum D-D, lactate, and sPECAM-1 on the poor prognosis of patients with sepsis-related DIC. Results The 28-day mortality rate of patients with sepsis-related DIC was 22%, and the death group had higher APACHEⅡ scores, serum D-D, lactate, and sPECAM-1 levels than the survival group （P < 0.05）. Multivariate logistic regression results showed that serum D-D, lactic acid and sPECAM-1 were risk factors for 28-day death in patients with sepsis-related DIC. The AUC of serum D-D, lactic acid, and sPECAM-1 was 0.863 （95%CI: 0.768 ~ 0.958）, 0.831 （95%CI: 0.734 ~ 0.928）, 0.774 （95%CI: 0.653 ~ 0.896）, respectively. The AUC of the combination of serum D-D, lactic acid and sPECAM-1 was 0.965（ 95%CI: 0.928 ~ 1.000）, with the sensitivity 0.864 and the specificity 0.974, each of which were greater than the individual predictions. Conclusion In patients with sepsis-related DIC, higher serum D-D, lactate, and sPECAM-1 levels were highly correlated with 28-day death. In patients with sepsis-related DIC, higher serum D-D, lactate, and sPECAM-1 levels were highly correlated with 28-day death. The combination of serum D-D, lactate, and sPECAM-1 levels provided a high predictive value for the prognosis of sepsis-related DIC and might be employed in therapeutic treatment.

Objective To investigate the regulation of osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells via Trb3 through Compound Kidney-Invigorating Granules（CKG） medicated serum. Methods hBMSCs were intervened with different concentrations of CKG-medicated serum. Cell viability was measured by CCK8 assay, hBMSCs osteogenic differentitation was observed by ALP activity and alizarin red staining, and adipogenic differentiation by oil red O staining. hBMSCs were examined by Western blot for osteogenic/adipogenic marker protein expression. Western blot and qPCR were performed to defect Trb3 protein and gene expression. Trb3 siRNA was transfected with hBMSCs to observe the expression of osteogenic/adipogenic related factors by Western blot. Results CKG medicated serum promoted hBMSCs proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. CKG medicated serum enhanced ALP activity and mineralized nodules. It upregulated Runx2 and Osterix protein expression, and inhibited PPARγ and FABP4 protein expression and lipid accumulation. Mechanistic studies revealed that Trb3 knockdown reversed the ability of CKG medicated serum to promote osteogenic differentiation and inhibit adipogenic differentiation. Conclusion CKG-medicated serum promotes osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs via Trb3 at the expense of adipogenic differentiation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective　 To establish the death prediction model within 28-day admission for patients with sepsis induced by pulmonary infection, and to predict their nosocomial prognosis. Methods　 The clinical data of patients with sepsis induced by pulmonary infection admitted to the ICU from January 2017 to December 2021( modeling group) and the clinical data of patients with sepsis induced by pulmonary infection admitted to the ICU from January 2015 to December 2016( verification group) were retrospectively collected, including the baseline characteristics( age, height, body weight, type of underlying diseases), vital signs (mean arterial pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, SpO2, body temperature), laboratory tests (blood gas analysis within 24 hours of ICU admission, electrolytes, liver and kidney function, coagulation function, blood routine), organ function status score(APACHEII score, SOFA score), treatment measures( whether sedation, respiratory support, vasoactive drugs), and outcome. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed on data in the modeling group. The influencing factors of death in patients with sepsis induced by pulmonary infection were screened out. Then Logistic regression equation was established and visualized as a nomogram using the R4. 0. 3 software "rms" package. The model was verified in the validation group. The patient outcome was predicted by 28- day death prediction regression equation and compared with the real outcome. The discrimination and calibration degree of the model were evaluated by the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and the calibration curve. It was compared with the diagnostic performance of ICU prognostic scores commonly used in clinical practice, such as SOFA score and APACHEII score. Results　 In this study, a total of 970 patients with sepsis induced by pulmonary infection were included. There were 739 cases in the modeling group, 117 cases died, and 622 cases survived. There were 231 cases in the verification group, 24 cases died, and 207 cases survived. Variables that were statistically different between the death group and the survival group included age, weight, SOFA score, obesity, anemia, use of vasoactive drugs, mechanical ventilation, heart rate, respiratory rate, mean arterial pressure, body temperature, SpO2, red blood cell count, aspartate aminotransferase, albumin, blood glucose, creatinine, lactic acid, international normalized ratio, blood potassium, and arterial oxygen partial pressure (all P<0. 05), and there were no statistical differences in the other indicators. Multi⁃ variate Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent influencing factors were age, body weight, SOFA score, creatinine, lactate and respiratory rate. We assigned them as X1-X6, respectively, and then, based on the above indepen⁃ dent influencing factors, the Logistic regression equation was established： Logit(P) = -7. 673+0. 047X1-0. 022X2+ 0. 202X3+0. 013X4+0. 130X5+0. 137X6. P was the predicted probability of 28-day death in patients with sepsis induced by pulmonary infection. Then the Logistic regression equation was visualized as a nomogram. In this study, the AUR of the mortality prediction model was 0. 826( 95% CI 0. 779-0. 873) and 0. 850(95% CI 0. 763-0. 937) in the modeling and validation groups, respectively. The AUR of SOFA score for death prediction in the modeling group and validation group were 0. 721(95% CI 0. 661-0. 780) and 0. 698( 95% CI 0. 589-0. 808), respectively, and the AUR of APACHE II score for death prediction in the modeling group and validation group were 0. 623 (95% CI 0. 553-0. 693) and 0. 554 (95% CI 0. 435-0. 673), respectively. The calibration curve had a high degree of coincidence with a straight line of 45°in the plane Cartesian coordinate system, indicating that the model performed well. Conclusion　 The death prediction model within 28-day admission for patients with sepsis induced by pulmonary infection is successfully established, that is Logit(P) = -7. 673+0. 047X1-0. 022X2+0. 202X3+0. 013X4+0. 130X5+0. 137X6, which provides an optimal prediction of the shortterm mortality risk scientifically and effectively.
