Objective: To analyze the independent associations of the Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-5 in China and evaluate their predictive values for ESRD.
Patients And Methods: A total of 716 patients with CKD stages 3-5 at the time of the initial renal medicine referral were retrospectively enrolled, and the study outcome was the observed incidence of ESRD at 2 years after the initial referral. Baseline characteristics were collected, and relevant laboratory indexes, including neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), were detected.
Objective: This study was performed to assess the efficacy of a novel tool to assist transpedicular bone grafting in short-segment pedicle screw fixation combined with pedicle fixation at the level of the fractured vertebra (six-screw fixation).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 80 patients (40 in the control group and 40 in the tool-aided group) with single-level thoracolumbar fractures. Patients in the control group underwent traditional six-screw fixation combined with transpedicular bone grafting.

Background: The sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, designed to evaluate sepsis-associated organ dysfunction in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, is associated with the prognosis of sepsis patients. MicroRNA-150 (miR-150) is one of the first miRs to be detected in patients with sepsis and other critical illnesses, and to have an association with the prognosis of critical illness and sepsis.
Objectives: To assess the predictive value of the combination of the SOFA score and miR-150 levels for the prognosis of sepsis patients.
