The Proportion of Vδ1T Cells in Peripheral Blood Correlated with Prognosis of Sepsis.

Background: Sepsis is a serious condition with a high mortality rate, and septic patients often have organ dysfunction, low tissue perfusion and hypoxia, lactic acidosis, oliguria, or functional brain changes.

Objective: To observe the number and the function of Vδ1T cells in peripheral blood of septic patients, to analyze the clinical significance of detecting Vδ1T cells, and to clarify the correlation of their presence with the prognosis of sepsis.

Methods: The basic data of the septic patients were recorded at admission.

Homocysteine and the Mortality of Critically Ill Patients: A Meta-Analysis.

Prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is high in critically ill patients. However, the association between serum homocysteine level and outcomes of the critically ill patients remains unknown. We performed a meta-analysis of cohort studies to comprehensively evaluate the above association.
