血液透析发生结核感染的影响因素分析

目的分析维持性血液透析患者发生结核感染的影响因素及临床特点。方法回顾性调查2018年5月-2019年8月北京清华长庚医院肾内科收治的长期规律血液透析患者共150例,收集患者的年龄、性别、合并疾病、血常规、生化、透析充分性等检验结果和影像学资料,归纳分析血液透析患者发生结核感染的影响因素。结果150例血液透析患者,男性91人,女性59人,平均年龄(62.7±14.2)岁,发生结核感染者共11例(7.33%),其中肺外结核比例高(54.5%),以浆膜腔积液为主要表现(54.5%),血红蛋白(94.7±11.6)g/L、血清白蛋白(34.6±2.0)g/L、血肌酐(593.6±221.4)umol/L低于无结核感染者,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);血小板(228.7±103.5)×10⁹/L高于无结核感染者,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组患者年龄、透析充分性、淋巴细胞、血糖、血脂、血钙、血磷、全段甲状旁腺激素无统计学差异。结论血红蛋白<110g/L、白蛋白<35g/L是MHD患者发生结核感染的高危因素,MHD患者发生结核感染以肺外结核为主,临床表现具有隐匿性和不典型性,临床工作应提高警惕避免漏诊。     

The exercise pressor reflex: An update

The exercise pressor reflex is a feedback mechanism engaged upon stimulation of mechano- and metabosensitive skeletal muscle afferents. Activation of these afferents elicits a reflex increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and ventilation in an intensity-dependent manner. Consequently, the exercise pressor reflex has been postulated to be one of the principal mediators of the cardiorespiratory responses to exercise. In this updated review, we will discuss classical and recent advancements in our understating of the exercise pressor reflex function in both human and animal models. Particular attention will be paid to the afferent mechanisms and pathways involved during its activation, its effects on different target organs, its potential role in the abnormal cardiovascular response to exercise in diseased states, and the impact of age and biological sex on these responses. Finally, we will highlight some unanswered questions in the literature that may inspire future investigations in the field.
