Objective: To determine the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) following abdominal surgery, assess its outcome associations, and identify factors associated with postoperative AKI development.
Methods: We performed a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, from January 2004, to December 2024. We included studies reporting AKI based on consensus criteria (RIFLE, AKIN, or KDIGO) in adult abdominal surgery patients.
Identifying the risk factors of ICU-acquired fungal infections: clinical evidence from using machine learning.
Front Med (Lausanne)
May 2024
Background: Fungal infections are associated with high morbidity and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU), but their diagnosis is difficult. In this study, machine learning was applied to design and define the predictive model of ICU-acquired fungi (ICU-AF) in the early stage of fungal infections using Random Forest.
Objectives: This study aimed to provide evidence for the early warning and management of fungal infections.
Dexmedetomidine alleviates acute lung injury by promoting Tregs differentiation via activation of AMPK/SIRT1 pathway.
Inflammopharmacology
February 2023
Objectives: To explore the anti-inflammatory effect and the potential mechanism of dexmedetomidine in ARDS/ALI.
Materials And Methods: C57BL/6 mice and EL-4 cells were used in this research. The ALI model was established by CLP.
Objectives: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by an excessive pulmonary inflammatory response. Pyroptosis is a newly form of programmed inflammatory cell death that is triggered by inflammatory caspases. Studies have shown that Luteolin has powerful anti-inflammation effects through activating the function of regulatory T cells (Tregs).

Article Synopsis
- The growing interest in space exploration requires new radiation-resistant materials, with nonlinear optical materials being particularly limited in availability.
- Researchers studied newly created 2D bismuthene to see how well it performs in simulated space radiation conditions, finding it maintains its key optical properties even after exposure to harmful radiation.
- This study not only advances the understanding of 2D bismuthene's behavior under radiation but also sets the stage for optimizing such materials for future use in space technology.
In situ growth of luminescent perovskite fibers in natural hollow templates.
Chem Commun (Camb)
September 2019
Natural hollow fibers were used as templates to in situ produce thin Cs4PbX6 nanosheets on the inner walls, forming luminescent fibers that integrated the advantages of the large length of fibers and the emission tunability of perovskites, and exhibited great robustness as well for multiple applications like warning signs, anti-counterfeiting and fashion.
