ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the sedation and analgesia clinical effects of dexmedetomidine and midazolam sufentanil in severe acute pancreatitis patients with mechanical ventilation.Methods Sixty four patients with mechanical ventilation in severe acute pancreatitis were randomly divided into dexmedetomidine and midazolam groups,and 32 cases in each group.All patients were routinely given sufentanil continuous intravenous analgesia.The patients in dexmedetomidine group received dexmedetomidine 1.0 μg/kg loading dose by intravenous injection and followed with 0.2 ～ 0.7 μg/(kg · h) continuous intravenous infusion.The patients in midazolam group received midazolam:0.05 mg/kg loading dose by intravenous injection and followed with 0.02 ～0.08 mg/(kg · h) continuous intravenous infusion.The sedation and analgesia effects and inflammation index changes in two groups were observed.Results The analgesia and sedation onset time,awake time and time of live in intensive care unit (ICU) in dexmedetomidine group were significantly superior to the midazolam group (P ＜ 0.05).Before weaning from mechanical ventilation the white blood cell count,C-reaction protein (CRP),heart rate,and respiratory frequency index in dexmedetomidine group were significantly better than those in midazolam group (P ＜ 0.05).The adverse event's incidence rate in dexmedetomidine group (9.38％) was ignificantly lower s than that in midazolam group (31.25％) (P ＜0.05).Conclusions The application of dexmedetomidine combined with sufentanil in severe acute pancreatitis patients with mechanical ventilation may play a good role of sedative and analgesic effects,and alleviating the inflammatory reaction of patients,as well as fewer adverse events.
ABSTRACT
Objective To design fast cluster indicators (FCIs) and compare it with the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) scoring to judge the value and prognosis of sepsis patients.Methods Based on 33 cases of severe infected patients as samples for this study from September 2013 to July 2014 in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in the Second People's Hospital of YiYang,and with the Procalcitonin (PCT),lactic acid (LAC),D-Dimer (DD) and base excess (BE) as the indicators,as well as drawing on the APACHE Ⅱ scoring system ideological,as is to design the FCIs to evaluate the prognosis of patients with severe infection.Results After treatment,the survivals were 17 cases,16 patients were died out of 33,and the mortality rate was 48.5％.The sensitivity and specificity of fast cluster indicator that predict patient mortality rates were 75％ and 71％,respectively.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of FCIs assessing the prognosis of patients with severe infections was 0.895,which was higher than the value 0.721 of APACHE Ⅱ scoring.Conclusions FCIs scoring has a certain significance and guiding role in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To determine whether central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide tension difference (Pcv-aCO(2)) could still be used as a goal of fluid resuscitation in septic patients who already had ScvO2 greater than 70% after early resuscitation.@*METHODS@#A prospective observational study was performed on 56 septic patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in a single University Hospital, who already had ScvO2 greater than 70% after early resuscitation. They were divided into two groups, based on whether the patients' initial Pcv-aCO2 was less than 6 mmHg (low gap group) or greater than or equal to 6 mmHg (high gap group). The following data were collected at 0, 12, and 24 hours (T(0), T(12), T(24)) after study inclusion: hemodynamic indices [mean blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), cardiac output (CO), central venous pressure (CVP)], perfusion-related indexes [ScvO(2), Pcv-aCO2, serum lactate (Lac), Lac clearance rate], organ function- related indices [oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO(2)), serum creatinine (SCr), creatine kinase (CK-MB)], APACHE II score, SOFA score, and 24 hours amounts of fluid infusion.@*RESULTS@#Twenty patients (42.9%) with initial Pcv-aCO(2) ≥ 6 mmHg were included in the high gap group and another thirty-two patients were included in the low gap group. At T12 and T24, ScvO(2) and CO were significantly higher, and Lac and SCr were significantly lower in low gap patients than high gap patients (P 70% has achieved after early resuscitation, Pcv-aCO2 can still be used as a goal of fluid resuscitation in septic patients .

Objective To investigate the mechanism of growth hormone inhibiting IPS-induced apoptosis of alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cells in rats. Method Isolated and purified AEC Ⅱ cells of SD rats were divided into 5 groups,8 duplicate wells in each group. Group I served as control group; group Ⅱ:LPS 10 ug/ml;group Ⅲ:LPS 10 ug/ml + GH 50 ng/ml;gronp IV :LPS 10 ug/ml + GH 100ng/ml; group V: LPS 10 ug/ml + GH 200 ng/ml. LPS was finally added into wells in group Ⅱ～V . After the cells were incubated for 24 hours, the apoptosis rate and necrosis rate of AEC Ⅱ cells stained with Annexin V/PI were detected by flow cytometry and Fas protein of AEC Ⅱ cells were measured by immunocytochemistry. Results (1) The apoptosis rate and necrosis rate of AECⅡ cells in group Ⅱ,Ⅲ, Ⅳ and V were significantly hitOer than those in group Ⅰ( qapoptosis rate Ⅰ, Ⅱ =12.26,qnecroeis Ⅰ,Ⅱ=18.34, qapoptosisⅠ.Ⅱ=9.63,qnecrosisⅠ,nⅡ=5.75,qapotosisⅠ,Ⅳ= 9.15,qnecrosisⅠ,Ⅳ= 5.39, qapotosisⅠ,Ⅴ = 10.87, qnecrosisⅠ,Ⅴ = 5.91, P 0.05), but lower in group Ⅲ,IV and V than those in group Ⅱ(qapoptosis Ⅱ,Ⅲ= 15.24, qpecrosisⅡ,Ⅲ=16.38, qapoptosisⅡ.Ⅳ = 15.95,qnecrosisⅡ.Ⅳ=16.95, qapoptosis rate Ⅱ,Ⅴ=14.57, qnecrosisⅡ.Ⅴ = 15.61,P<0.05). (2)The positive rate of Fas expression on AEC Ⅱ cells in group Ⅱ,Ⅲ, Ⅳ and V was obviously higher than that in group Ⅰ. ( q Ⅰ.Ⅱ=35.67, qⅠ ,Ⅲ=14.32, qⅠ,Ⅳ = 13.87, qⅠ.Ⅴ=26.16, P<0.05), but lower in gronpⅢ ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ than that in gronp Ⅱ(qⅡ,Ⅲ=12.54, qⅡ,Ⅳ = 13.02, qⅡ,Ⅴ =6.96, P<0.05). Conclusions GH can probably de-crease the apoptosis of AEC Ⅱ cells by inhibiting Fas expression.
ABSTRACT
Objective To dynamically measure level of surfactant protein D(SP-D)in patients with severe multiple trauma and discuss the relationship between SP-D and acute lung injury(ALI)/ARDS and its clinical significance. Methods A total of 36 patients with severe multiple trauma were divided into ALI/ARDS group(20 patients)and non-ALI/ARDS group(16 patients).Peripheral blood samples were collected at days 1,3,7 and 14 after trauma for calculating lung injury score(LIS)and PaO2/FiO2 ratio.Another 12 healthy persons were served as control group.Plasma SP-D levels were measured by using enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay(ELISA). Results The plasma SP-D levels in ALI/ARDS group were markedly higher than those of control group and non-ALI/ARDS group(P<0.01).In ALI/ARDS group,the plasma SP-D levels in severe lung injury group were significantly higher than those of modcrate lung injury group(P<0.05).The plasma SP-D levels in ALI/ARDS group were inversely related to their PaO2/FiO2 ratios(rs=-0.745,P<0.01). Conclusions The plasma SP-D level is relevant not only to the occurrence of traumatic ALI/ARDS after multiple trauma,but also closely to the severity of lung injury,indicating that plasma SP-D is a valuable biomarker in ALI/ARDS.
