Effect of continuous renal replacement therapy on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-induced expression of inflammatory factors in pig kidney / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-induced expression of inflammatory factors in pig kidney.Methods Twenty-four adult pigs of either sex,weighing 25-32 kg,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =6 each) using a? random number table:control group (group C),sham operation group (group S),ECMO group and CRRT group.Anesthesia was induced with ketamine,diazepam and atropine and maintained with ketamine and diazepam.The pigs were tracheotomized,intubated and mechanically ventilated.The left femoral arteries were cannulated for MAP monitoring.Heparin 150 U/kg was injected intravenously.Right femoral artery and left internal jugular vein were cannulated for blood-letting and fluid infusion.In ECMO and CRRT groups,ECMO was performed for 24 h starting from 1 h after cannulation,in addition CRRT was performed for 24 h simultaneously in ECMO group.The pigs were then sacrificed and kidney specimens were obtained for determination of the content of interleukin-1β (IL-1 β),IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) by ELISA.Results There was no significant differ-ence in the content of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α between C and S groups (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with C and S groups,the content of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α was significantly increased in E and CRRT groups (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with group E,the content of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α was significantly decreased in group CRRT (P ＜0.01).Conclusion CRRT can decrease ECMO-induced expression of inflammatory factors in pig kidney to some extent,indicating that it can alleviate the inflammatory responses in kidney.
