Methods: Retrospective study of 456 consecutive patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection at the whole hospital from January 1 to March 1, 2020 was enrolled. Demographic, clinical characteristics, the risk factors, and prognosis were collected and analyzed. Results: Of 456 patients with COVID-19, 38 patients developed AKI. Patients with AKI were older and predominantly male sex and were more likely to have comorbidities such as hypertension, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular diseases. Among patients with AKI, the white blood cell count, neutrophil count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, alanine aminotransferase, and C-reaction protein were increased, and lymphocyte and platelet count were decreased. Multivariate analysis showed that age, hypertension, and lymphocyte count were independent risk factors for AKI. The overall mortality rate of 456 patients was 9.9%, and the mortality rate of patients with AKI was 23.7%. In particular, increasing AKI severity was associated with increased risk. Conclusions: The risk of AKI was high in patients with COVID-19. Older age, hypertension, and lower lymphocyte count were independent risk factors for AKI. COVID-19-associated AKI was associated with higher risk of death in patients with COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":93326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Translational Critical Care Medicine","volume":"76 1","pages":"1 - 5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86026855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Liver dysfunction (LD) was related with high mortality in COVID-19. Methods: Retrospective, single-center study case series of 425 consecutive hospitalized COVID-19 patients were enrolled. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and treatment data were collected. Results: A total of 425 patients were included in this study, 145 of whom had LD. The overall mortality rate was 8.9%, while 17.9% in the LD group and 4.3% in the nonliver dysfunction (NLD) group. Age, sex, and hypertension were the independent risk factors of LD. LD was an independent risk factor for incidence of severe illness, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and death. The survival rate of patients in LD group was lower than that in NLD group (P < 0.001). A similar trend was observed by the multivariate regression analysis (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.69–7.33; P = 0.001). Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockers had effect to reduce LD (odds ratio of 0.48 [95% CI, 0.232–0.989; P = 0.045]). Conclusions: LD is one of the main features of hospitalized patients of COVID-19, with a worse prognosis. Patients of COVID-19 with LD on admission should be more cautions.","PeriodicalId":93326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Translational Critical Care Medicine","volume":"6 1","pages":"1 - 6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89492312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: A total of 44 residents were randomized as the study population. In the endocrine-rotation training, we reformed the clinical learning by unified online-teaching led by teachers' combination with individual guidance by residents. Moreover, the final implementation assessment was conducted by standard double-blind examinations. Results: After 4–8 weeks training, the 44 residents were assessed for clinical skills from six dimensions, including medical history collection, physical examination, history report and inpatient record writing, case analysis, and overviewing capability. Compared with the mean scores of 68 residents rotated in internal medicine in 2019, the mean scores on physical examination, inpatient record writing, and overviewing capability in 2020 group were higher with significance ([85.72 ± 8.33] vs.[79.22 ± 10.12], P = 0.0006), ([90.28 ± 10.70] vs. [81.82 ± 8.03], P < 0.0001), ([80.31 ± 8.70] vs. [73.04 ± 12.74], P = 0.0012), whereas scores on skills of medical history collection and history report were slightly lower ([82.11 ± 9.02] vs. [85.06 ± 7.23], P = 0.0586), ([79.30 ± 8.17] vs. [83.21 ± 5.01], P = 0.0022), while scores on case analysis did not show huge gap but with polarized performance in 2020 group ([74.38 ± 10.29] vs. [78.13 ± 8.53], P = 0.0386). Conclusions: Providing the novel pattern of unified online-teaching combined with individual-guidance at the bedside to the front-line residents can reduce the risk of cluster epidemics and effectively ensure the training effect on them but still with shortcomings. The future online teaching reform is better for focus more on how to make up for or reduce the actual problem of disconnection between theory and practice in the process of online clinical skills training for residents and teachers.","PeriodicalId":93326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Translational Critical Care Medicine","volume":"30 1","pages":"1 - 4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84652630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the progression of the disease, it is very likely to occur acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Despite years of research, the mortality rate from sepsis-associated lung injury remains high. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding small RNAs with the function of regulating gene expression. In recent years, miRNAs have become a research hotspot in the field of biomedicine. Therefore, this review summarizes a large body of evidence implicating miRNAs and their target molecules in ALI/ARDS originating largely from studies using animal and cell culture model systems of ALI/ARDS. First, the pathophysiology and potential molecular mechanism of sepsis-associated ALI were briefly discussed at the cellular level, and the regulatory effect of miRNA on sepsis-associated ALI was summarized from the molecular mechanism so as to provide the possibility to find new targets for the treatment of sepsis-associated lung injury. Finally, some promising methods and some shortcomings of existing research are introduced.","PeriodicalId":93326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Translational Critical Care Medicine","volume":"13 1","pages":"1 - 1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89140260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GI dysfunction is very common in critically ill patients and always leads to intolerance of enteral feeding. Experimental and clinical studies suggest that peptide-based EN can be easily digested and absorbed by the GI tract which improving the feeding intolerance and provide better nutritional effects for critically ill patients. In addition, peptide-based EN may also have anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, and immune-modulation effects and can facilitate muscle protein synthesis to improve muscle weakness which is commonly seen in critically ill patients. Peptide-based EN may have both nutritional and nonnutritional beneficial effects for critically ill patients. Further, large prospective randomized clinical trials should to be done to make the definite results.","PeriodicalId":93326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Translational Critical Care Medicine","volume":"31 1","pages":"2 - 2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89654514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
