Abstract
Background To explore the associations of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and prealbumin (PAB) with the number of diseased coronary vessels, degree of stenosis and heart failure in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Methods A total of 39 MI patients treated in the Cardiology were selected as the observation group, and another 41 patients with normal results of coronary angiography during the same period were selected as the control group. The general data of patients were recorded in detail, the content of serum hs-CRP and PAB in the peripheral blood was detected, and the number of diseased coronary vessels and the degree of stenosis were detected via coronary angiography. Results Compared with those in control group, the blood pressure and heart rate significantly rose, the content of indexes related to the severity of MI were significantly increased, the content of hs-CRP was significantly increased, and the content of PAB was significantly decreased in observation group. Hs-CRP was positively correlated with the number of diseased coronary vessels, degree of stenosis and heart failure in patients, but PAB was negatively correlated with the above factors. The survival rate of MI patients with high content of hs-CRP was obviously lower than that of patients with low content of hsCRP. Conclusions Serum hs-CRP and PAB are closely associated with the number of diseased coronary vessels, degree of stenosis and heart failure in MI patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A ubiquitous human pathogen, Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus, GAS) causes infections from mild pharyngitis to severe septic infections. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a condition of prompt decline of renal function. The aim of the present study was to report the incidence and outcome of AKI in GAS bacteraemia and to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum C-reactive protein as an indicator of AKI. METHODS All adult patients with GAS bacteraemia treated at Turku University Hospital from 2007 to 2018 were identified and their patient records were scrutinised. RESULTS Of 195 included patients, 38 (19.5%) had AKI stage 1, 20 (10.3%) AKI stage 2 and 26 (13.3%) AKI stage 3 and 111 (56.9%) did not have AKI. The adjusted seven-day mortality was significantly higher in AKI stages 2 and 3 compared to the non-AKI group (15% and 19% vs. 3.6%; p = .046 and .006, respectively). Of the survivors, 95.8% met the criteria of renal recovery at discharge. The higher the AKI stage, the higher was the mean serum CRP level on admission. The optimal cut-off for CRP to identify patients with AKI stage 2 or 3 was ≥244 mg/l (sensitivity 82.6% and specificity 75.8%). CONCLUSIONS AKI is common in patients with GAS bacteraemia and the severity of AKI correlates with the CRP level on admission. The mortality of patients with GAS bacteraemia and AKI is significantly higher than of patients without AKI. Most survivors, however, show renal recovery.Key MessageAKI is common in group A Streptococcal bacteraemia and increases mortality compared to bacteraemia alone. However, renal recovery is also common. A high CRP level on admission correlates significantly positively with the degree of severity of AKI.

Cardiogenic Shock Does Not Portend Poor Long-Term Survival in Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12081193. [PMID: 35893287 PMCID: PMC9330812 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12081193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Although a strong association of cardiogenic shock (CS) with in-hospital mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is well established, less attention has been paid to its prognostic influence on long-term outcome. We evaluated the impact of CS in 1173 patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary interventions between 1997 and 2009. Patients were followed up until the primary study endpoint (cardiovascular mortality) was reached. Within the entire study population, 112 (10.4%) patients presented with CS at admission. After initial survival, CS had no impact on mortality (non-CS: 23.5% vs. CS: 24.0%; p = 0.923), with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.18 (95% CI: 0.77–1.81; p = 0.457). CS patients ≥ 55 years (p = 0.021) with moderately or severely impaired left ventricular function (LVF; p = 0.039) and chronic kidney disease (CKD; p = 0.013) had increased risk of cardiovascular mortality during follow-up. The present investigation extends currently available evidence that cardiovascular survival in CS is comparable with non-CS patients after the acute event. CS patients over 55 years presenting with impaired LVF and CKD at the time of ACS are at increased risk for long-term mortality and could benefit from personalized secondary prevention.

Abstract
Aims Trimetazidine (TMZ) is effective at improving clinical outcomes in chronic heart failure and stable coronary artery disease patients. However, no single study has comprehensively evaluated the efficacy of TMZ in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We enrolled 401 Chinese patients. All patients received the same drug prescription except for TMZ. In blinded fashion, patients were randomized to either a control or an experimental group in which 60 mg TMZ was provided at admission and then at 20 mg three times a day thereafter. At 2 and/or 6 days, we evaluated creatine kinase (CK and CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), C-reaction protein (CRP), serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), serum creatinine (Cr), serum urea, glucose, glutamic pyruvic transaminase (ALT), and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (AST). Additionally, by echocardiography, we assessed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD), and cardiac output (CO). Results CK and CKMB, which were recorded on the second day in the hospital (each p=0.022), and cTNI, which was recorded on the sixth day in the hospital (p=0.003), were reduced with TMZ treatment compared to control. In addition, ALT and AST (p=0.001, p=0.000, respectively) and glucose after 6 days (p=0.011) were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group. Furthermore, LVEF after 10–14 days and 6 months after discharge (p=0.039 and p=0.047, respectively) was increased with TMZ treatment. The effects of TMZ on CRP, TNF-α, Cr, urea, LVEDD, and CO were not significant (all p > 0.05). Conclusions For AMI patients undergoing PCI, TMZ reduced circulating biomarkers of myocardial infarction, reduced values of ALT, AST, and glucose, and improved cardiac function compared with the control group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation has become a reliable therapeutic strategy in patients with advanced heart failure. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a well-established biomarker of inflammation. This study aims to determine the prognostic effect of CRP level on clinical outcomes of patients who undergo LVAD implantation. METHODS This is a single-center, observational, retrospective study. One hundred fifty-three patients who received continuous-flow LVAD implantation were included and were divided into two groups of high (>3.9 mg/dL) versus low CRP (⩽3.9 mg/dL). RESULTS Patients with high pre-implant CRP levels were prone to severe preoperative clinical conditions and complicated intraoperative procedures. Compared with patients in the low CRP group, elevated pre-implant CRP was associated with increased hospital mortality (31.4% vs 8.4%, p < 0.001), postoperative right ventricular failure (47.1% vs 30.1%, p = 0.031), right ventricular assist device use (34.3% vs 16.9%, p = 0.013), AKI (70% vs 51.8%, p = 0.022) and significantly prolonged duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit length of stay. Univariate Cox regression showed that high pre-implant CRP was significantly associated with increased risk of long-term mortality (Hazard ratio (HR) 2.632 95%; CI: 1.657-4.183, p < 0.001), and multivariable Cox regression also revealed the higher risk of long-term mortality in patients with elevated pre-implant CRP (HR, 2.848 95%CI: 1.659-4.888, p < 0.001). These results remained stable when treating pre-implant CRP as a continuous variable. Besides, the prognostic effect of post-implant CRP was also observed. CONCLUSIONS CRP is a reliable risk-stratification biomarker in patients receiving continuous-flow -LVAD and can be used as a predictor for short- and long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and anemia with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD) is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine whether anemia-associated AKI is modulated by hsCRP in neonates. METHODS This study included 253 consecutive neonatal patients who underwent CHD surgery in a national tertiary hospital. We investigated the association between postoperative AKI with baseline hsCRP, anemia, and their interaction by multivariable logistic regression analyses. RESULTS The incidence of AKI was 24.1% in the entire cohort. After being adjusted for covariates, hsCRP level was negatively correlated with AKI (P < 0.01 for 1 mg/L threshold), whereas anemia emerged as an independent risk factor of AKI (P = 0.02). In addition, there was a significant interaction between anemia and hsCRP level (P = 0.01). In neonates with hsCRP < 1 mg/L, anemia was positively associated with AKI (P = 0.03). However, no significant association was found between anemia and AKI in the context of hsCRP ≥ 1 mg/L. Combination of anemia and hsCRP < 1 mg/L was independently correlated with the risk of AKI (P < 0.01), while concomitant anemia and hsCRP ≥ 1 mg/L or hsCRP < 1 mg/L combined with non-anemia was not. CONCLUSIONS In neonates with CHD, the risk of anemia-associated AKI may be modulated by hsCRP level. Attention should be paid to neonates with preoperative anemia and baseline hsCRP < 1 mg/L to reduce the risk of postoperative AKI.

Abstract
Background The study investigated the relationship between the concentrations of Mg, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, P and anthropometric and biochemical parameters in the blood serum of patients with heart failure (HF) and the potential influence on the development and progression of HF. Material & methods The study included 214 patients (155 men and 59 women), aged 40–87 years, presenting symptoms or signs typical of HF (according to the NYHA functional classification). Serum concentrations were determined for Mg, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, P, C-reactive protein (CRP), creatinine, urea, triglyceride levels (TG), total cholesterol (CH), high density protein (HDL), low density protein (LDL). The levels of macro-and microminerals were analysed using inductively coupled serum optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Results Our study confirmed the role of known risk factors in the development of heart failure, including: overweight, diabetes, hypertension, high triglycerides (TG), high total cholesterol (CH), high levels of low density protein (LDL) and reduced levels of high density protein (HDL), high CRP, high creatinine. Moreover, deficient serum concentrations of Mg (47% of the studied men and 54% of the women) and Cu (in 44% of men and more than 30% of women) were observed, as well as subnormal serum Fe (2% of women) and Zn (1% of men). Elevated serum Ca was found in 50% of men and 49% of women. In 44% of the studied men and 52% of the studied women, P levels in serum were also above-average. The study revealed a significant positive correlation between serum levels of Ca and Mg, and also Ca and Cu in women. In men, serum Cu was positively correlated with Mg and Ca concentrations. In patients from group 1 (NYHA I–II), Mg content was positively correlated with Ca and Cu. In this patient group, Ca was also positively associated with Cu content in serum. In group 2 (NYHA III-IV), serum Mg concentration was significantly positively correlated with that of Cu and Ca. Conclusions Changes in the serum concentrations of macro-and microminerals may significantly affect the severity of HF in Polish patients.

Abstract
Background AKI is known to be associated with inflammation and nutritional status. The novel inflammatory prognostic score CAR (CRP/albumin ratio), which combines inflammation and nutritional status, was hypothesized to be associated with mortality in critically ill AKI patients in this study. Methods The included cases were patients admitted to the ICU of Shandong Provincial Hospital from January 2016 to November 2018 and diagnosed with AKI within 48 hours of ICU admission. From the electronic case database of Shandong Provincial Hospital, we extracted the baseline demographic information, vital signs, routine laboratory parameters, complications, and other data. The above records are measured within 48 hours of admission to ICU. The clinical endpoint was the total cause mortality rate in hospital and 2 years. We constructed two multivariate regression models to determine the statistically significant correlation between CAR and mortality and conducted subgroup analysis to determine the mortality among different subgroups. Results A total of 580 patients were included in this study. In multivariate regression analysis, higher CAR was associated with an increase in hospital and two-year all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with AKI after adjusting gender, age, respiratory frequency, temperature, and other confounding factors (tertile 3 versus tertile 1: OR, 95% CI: 2.97, 1.70-5.17; 3.03, 1.68-5.47, respectively; P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that the CAR level in each subgroup increases with hospital mortality in critically ill patients with AKI. Conclusion The increase of CAR in critically ill patients with AKI was associated with an increased risk of all-cause death.

Abstract
Infectious diseases are an important cause of mortality in patients with renal failure. The markers used to diagnose infection in patients with renal failure have various limitations. Culture positivity is an objective guide in that context. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of frequently used markers of bacterial infection in predicting culture positivity in renal failure patients with renal failure hospitalized with suspected bacterial infection over an approximately 1.5-year period were included in this prospective observational study. Patients' demographic and laboratory findings were recorded. Demographic and laboratory findings and mortality were compared between patients with and without culture-positivity. Parameters affecting culture positivity were also analyzed. Four hundred twenty-six patients (median age 67.50, 45.5% female) were included in the study. Culture positivity was determined in 54.5% of patients. Hospital stay was longer (p < 0.001) and leukocyte (p < 0.001), neutrophil percentage (p < 0.05) and CRP (p < 0.001) values were significantly higher in culture-positive patients. Mortality was also significantly higher in culture-positive patients than in culture-negative patients (p < 0.05). CRP was determined as a predictor of culture positivity at logistic regression analysis (p = 0.000, exp ß [1.004]). Culture positivity was determined in more than half of the patients hospitalized with suspected bacterial infection. CRP, a longstanding marker, was identified as a parameter predicting culture positivity. We think that the determination in further studies of a cut-off point for CRP in determining culture positivity may be a useful diagnostic guide.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) is associated with high mortality and morbidity despite advancements in cardiovascular care. AMI-CS is associated with multiorgan failure of non-cardiac organ systems. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequently seen in patients with AMI-CS and is associated with worse mortality and outcomes compared to those without. The pathogenesis of AMI-CS associated with AKI may involve more factors than previously understood. Early use of renal replacement therapies, management of comorbid conditions and judicious fluid administration may help improve outcomes. In this review, we seek to address the etiology, pathophysiology, management, and outcomes of AKI complicating AMI-CS.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is a clinical syndrome which is defined as the presence of primary cardiac disorder that results in hypotension together with signs of organ hypoperfusion in the state of normovolaemia or hypervolaemia. It represents a complex life-threatening condition, characterized by a high mortality rate, that requires urgent diagnostic assessment as well as treatment; therefore, it is of paramount important to advocate for a thorough risk stratification. In fact, the early identification of patients that could benefit the most from more aggressive and invasive approaches could facilitate a more efficient resource allocation. This review attempts to critically analyse the current evidence on prognosis in cardiogenic shock, focusing in particular on clinical, laboratoristic and echocardiographic prognostic parameters. Furthermore, it focuses also on the available prognostic scores, highlighting the strengths and the possible pitfalls. Finally, it provides insights into future direction that could be followed in order to ameliorate risk stratification in this delicate subset of patients.

Onset time and prognostic value of acute kidney injury in patients with acute myocardial infarction. IJC HEART & VASCULATURE 2021; 35:100826. [PMID: 34195353 PMCID: PMC8233135 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcha.2021.100826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Even small declines in renal function are associated with worse short-term outcomes after AMI. The clinical impact of the timing of acute kidney injury (AKI) onset after AMI is unknown. Early-phase AKI is associated with poor long-term mortality. Late-phase AKI is not associated with poor long-term mortality. Careful clinical attention and intensive care should be used in patients with early-phase AKI after AMI.
Background The mechanisms and clinical impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may differ depending on whether AKI develops during the early or late phase after AMI. The present study assessed the timing of AKI onset and the prognostic impact on long-term outcomes in patients hospitalized with AMI. Methods The present study enrolled consecutive AMI survivors who had undergone successful percutaneous coronary interventions at admission. AKI was defined as an increase in the serum creatinine level of ≥0.3 mg/dL above the admission value within 7 days of hospitalization. AKI patients were further divided into two subgroups (early-phase AKI: within 3 days vs. late-phase AKI: 4 to 7 days after AMI onset). The primary endpoint was all-cause death. Results In total, 506 patients were included in this study, with 385 men and a mean age of 69.5 ± 13.5 years old. The mean follow-up duration was 1289.5 ± 902.8 days. AKI developed in 127 patients (25.1%). Long-term mortality was significantly higher in the AKI group than in the non-AKI group (log-rank p < 0.001). Early-phase AKI developed in 98 patients (19.3%), and late-phase AKI developed in 28 patients (5.5%). In the multivariable analysis, early-phase AKI was significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR 2.83, 95% CI [1.51–5.29], p = 0.0012), while late-phase AKI was not. Conclusion Early-phase AKI but not late-phase AKI was associated with poor long-term mortality. Careful clinical attention and intensive care are needed when AKI is observed within 3 days of AMI onset.

Abstract
Increasing clinical evidence shows that acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and severe complication in critically ill COVID-19 patients. The older age, the severity of COVID-19 infection, the ethnicity, and the history of smoking, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease are the risk factor for AKI in COVID-19 patients. Of them, inflammation may be a key player in the pathogenesis of AKI in patients with COVID-19. It is highly possible that SARS-COV-2 infection may trigger the activation of multiple inflammatory pathways including angiotensin II, cytokine storm such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), TGF-β signaling, complement activation, and lung-kidney crosstalk to cause AKI. Thus, treatments by targeting these inflammatory molecules and pathways with a monoclonal antibody against IL-6 (Tocilizumab), C3 inhibitor AMY-101, anti-C5 antibody, anti-TGF-β OT-101, and the use of CRRT in critically ill patients may represent as novel and specific therapies for AKI in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) represents a serious complication following cardiac surgery. Adverse outcome after cardiac surgery has been observed in the presence of elevated levels of soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP). The aim of study was (i) to investigate the relationship between preoperative elevated levels of suPAR and hsCRP and postoperative AKI in unselected cardiac surgery patients and (ii) to assess whether the concentration of the biomarkers reflected severity of AKI. Methods In a retrospective observational study, biobank blood plasma samples (n = 924) from patients admitted for elective on-pump cardiac surgery were analysed for suPAR and hsCRP levels. The relation between suPAR and hsCRP-values and AKI (any stage), defined by the KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) criteria, was assessed using adjusted logistic regression. Further, the association between biomarkers and severity (KDIGO 1, KDIGO 2–3 and renal replacement therapy (RRT)) was assessed using adjusted logistic regression. Results Postoperative AKI (any stage) was observed in 327 patients (35.4 %). A doubling of preoperative suPAR corresponded to an adjusted odds ratio (OR) for postoperative AKI (any stage) of 1.62 (95 % CI 1.26–2.09, p < 0.001). Furthermore, a doubling of suPAR had an adjusted OR of 1.50 (95 % CI 1.16–1.93, p = 0.002), 2.44 (95 % CI 1.56–3.82, p < 0.001) and 1.92 (95 % CI 1.15–3.23, p = 0.002), for KDIGO 1, KDIGO 2–3 and need for RRT, respectively. No significant association was found between elevated levels of hsCRP and any degree of AKI. Conclusions Increasing levels of suPAR, but not hsCRP, were associated with development and severity of AKI following on-pump cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Objective: To develop predictive models for contrast induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) among acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients treated invasively. Methods: Patients with AMI who underwent angiography therapy were enrolled and randomly divided into training cohort (75%) and validation cohort (25%). Machine learning algorithms were used to construct predictive models for CI-AKI. The predictive models were tested in a validation cohort. Results: A total of 1,495 patients with AMI were included. Of all the patients, 226 (15.1%) cases developed CI-AKI. In the validation cohort, Random Forest (RF) model with top 15 variables reached an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.76–0.87), while the best logistic model had an AUC of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.62–0.76). ACEF (age, creatinine, and ejection fraction) model reached an AUC of 0.62 (95% CI: 0.53–0.71). RF model with top 15 variables achieved a high recall rate of 71.9% and an accuracy of 73.5% in the validation group. Random Forest model significantly outperformed logistic regression in every comparison. Conclusions: Machine learning algorithms especially Random Forest algorithm improves the accuracy of risk stratifying patients with AMI and should be used to accurately identify the risk of CI-AKI in AMI patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) elevation frequently occurs in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and is associated with adverse outcomes. Since diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by an underlying chronic inflammation, hs-CRP may have a different prognostic power in AMI patients with and without DM. METHODS We prospectively included 2064 AMI patients; hs-CRP was measured at hospital admission. Patients were grouped according to hs-CRP quartiles and DM status. The primary endpoint was a composite of in-hospital mortality, cardiogenic shock, and acute pulmonary edema. Two-year all-cause mortality was the secondary endpoint. RESULTS Twenty-six percent (n = 548) of patients had DM and they had higher hs-CRP levels than non-DM patients (5.32 vs. 3.24 mg/L; P < 0.0001). The primary endpoint incidence in the overall population (7%, 9%, 13%, 22%; P for trend < 0.0001), in DM (14%, 9%, 21%, 27%; P = 0.0001), and non-DM (5%, 8%, 10%, 19%; P < 0.0001) patients increased in parallel with hs-CRP quartiles. The adjusted risk of the primary endpoint increased in parallel with hs-CRP quartiles in DM and non-DM patients but this relationship was less evident in DM patients. In the overall population, the adjusted OR of the primary endpoint associated with an hs-CRP value ≥ 2 mg/L was 2.10 (95% CI 1.46-3.00). For the same risk, hs-CRP was 7 and 2 mg/L in patients with and without DM. A similar behavior was observed for the secondary endpoint when the HR associated with an hs-CRP value ≥ 2 mg/L found in the overall population was 2.25 (95% CI 1.57-3.22). For the same risk, hs-CRP was 8 and 1.5 mg/L in DM and non-DM patients. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that hs-CRP predicts in-hospital outcome and two-year mortality in AMI patients with and without DM. However, in DM patients, the same risk of developing events as in non-DM patients is associated to higher hs-CRP levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the myocardial avascular necrosis syndrome caused by coronary atherosclerotic plaque rupture, thrombosis or coronary artery occlusion. Therefore, it is of great significance to find new targets for the treatment of myocardial infarction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of microRNA-379 (miR-379) on AMI and its mechanism. METHODS MiR-379 mimic was used to transfect H9c2 cells and we determined the protective effect of miR-379 on H9c2 by detecting the level of apoptosis. TargetScan software was used to detect miR-379's downstream targets. We constructed siRNA to analyze the effect of miR-379's downstream targets on H9c2 cells. In addition, we used miR-379 agomir to inject the tail vein of AMI rats to verify the effect of miR-379 on rat cardiomyocytes. RESULTS TargetScan detected that miR-379 and Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) may have binding sites and the dual luciferase reporter assay found that miR-379 binds to TNFAIP8 and inhibits its activity. MiR-379 mimic was found to reduce the expression of caspase3 and caspase9 in H9c2 cells and thereby reduce H2O2-induced cell damage. Inhibition of TNFAIP8 also significantly reduced apoptosis level and inhibited the NF-κB signaling pathway in H9c2 cells. Finally, miR-379 agomir was used to inject the tail vein of AMI rats and verified the protective effect of miR-379 in the heart in vivo. CONCLUSIONS MiR-379 has a binding site with TNFAIP8 and can inhibit its activity by binding to TNFAIP8 mRNA. SiRNA-TNFAIP8 can inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway and protect myocardial cells from AMI-induced myocardial damage by reducing the apoptosis level of myocardial cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine risk factors for in-hospital mortality in elderly patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring dialysis. INTRODUCTION AKI requiring dialysis is frequent in elderly and is associated with an increased intra-hospital mortality. With the growing number of older individuals among hospitalized patients with AKI demands a thorough investigation of the factors that contribute to their mortality to improve outcomes. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of patients older than 80 years, admitted due to AKI requiring dialysis between January 2016 and December 2017. Patients who need intensive-care units (ICU) admission were excluded. The primary outcome was all-cause in-hospital mortality. RESULTS A total of 154 patients were evaluated. The mean age was 85.3 ± 4.0 years and 76 patients (49.4%) were male. The overall mortality rate was 26.6%. On the multivariate analysis, serum albumin (OR 0.42 [95% CI 0.21-0.85], p 0.016), C reactive protein/albumin ratio (OR 1.04 [95% CI 0.99-1.09], and renal function recovery (OR 018 [95% CI 0.49-0.65], p 0.009) were the factors associated with higher in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS Lower albumin level, higher C reactive protein/albumin ratio at admission, and absence of renal function recovery are associated with increased in-hospital mortality's risk in elderly with acute kidney injury requiring dialysis.
