RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the effect of obesity on in-hospital prognosis of patients with mechanical ventilation in PICU.Methods:We enrolled 301 patients who received mechanical ventilation treatment in PICU at Chongqing Medical University Affiliated Children′s Hospital, between June 2015 and June 2020, and stratified them into obese group(49 cases), overweight group(96 cases)and normal weight group(156 cases). Obesity was determined by reference to the growth and development standards published by the World Health Organization.Indicators included PICU hospital mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the PICU, length of stay in hospital and the rates of duration of mechanical ventilation>21 days, re-intubation, tracheotomy, ventilator-associated pneumonia, central venous catheter infection, deep venous thrombosis and pressure ulcers were observed.The influence of obesity on hospitalized prognosis of children in PICU was analyzed.Results:In obesity group, overweight group and normal weight group, PICU hospital mortality(2.0%, 10.4%, 12.2%), the rate of tracheal reintubation(14.3%, 5.2%, 9.0%), the rate of tracheotomy (2.0%, 1.0%, 2.6%), the rate of deep venous thrombosis(8.2%, 3.1%, 5.8%), and the rate of pressure ulcers(4.1%, 7.3%, 1.9%) did not have significant difference(all P>0.05). No ventilator-associated pneumonia and central venous catheter infection occurred in three groups.There were no significant differences in the PICU hospital mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the PICU, length of stay in hospital among the three groups(all P>0.05). Obesity was not an independent risk factor for in-hospital death in PICU patients on mechanical ventilation( B=1.975, SE=1.038, OR=7.206, 95% CI 0.942~55.127, P=0.057). Conclusion:Obesity does not prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in PICU and total length of stay in hospital, as well as not increase the rate of duration of mechanical ventilation>21 days, re-intubation, tracheotomy, ventilator-associated pneumonia, central venous catheter infection, deep venous thrombosis and pressure ulcers.Obesity is not an independent influencing factor for in-hospital death in patients with mechanical ventilation in PICU.
RESUMO
Objective@#To assess the value of urine soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1(sTREM-1) in early diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis associated acute kidney injury (AKI).@*Methods@#This was a case-control study. A total of 62 patients with sepsis during November 2016 to June 2017 were collected, who were divided into non-AKI sepsis (n= 49) and AKI sepsis (n=13) groups according to the serum creatinine (SCr) or urine output, sepsis with shock (n=22) and sepsis without shock (n=40) groups according to the presence of shock, survival (n=47) and death (n=15) groups according to the mortality. Twenty healthy children were recruited in control group, whose urine sTREM-1 were used as reference value. Urine and blood specimens were detected on admission (within 12 h), at 24 h and 48 h after admission. Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis.@*Results@#On admission, the level of urine sTREM-1 were significantly higher in sepsis patients than in healthy controls (96.8 (71.3, 105.8) vs. 68.6 (60.6, 71.1)ng/L, Z=4.708, P<0.05). Comparing of sTREM-1 in different groups showed that the levels were higher in AKI sepsis patients than in the non-AKI ones ((106±5) vs. (86±18) ng/L, t=6.670, P<0.05), higher in the sepsis with shock group than in sepsis without shock group ((98±11) vs. (86± 20) ng/L, t=3.059, P<0.05), and also higher in death group than in survival group ((101±12) vs. (87±18) ng/L, t=3.615, P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) of urine sTREM-1 in predicting sepsis associated AKI was 0.814 (95%CI: 0.708-0.920), which was higher than that in predicting shock, increased serum creatinine, hyperlipidemia or hyperbilirubinemia (0.530, 0.425, 0.429 and 0.443, respectively). The optimal sTREM-1 cut-off point for predicting sepsis associated kidney injury was 96.5 ng/L, with specificity and sensitivity of 100% and 57.1%. The odds ratio(OR) of urine sTREM-1 was 0.879 with a significance of 0.005 after adjusting shock, prognosis, serum creatinine, lactate and total bilirubin level, indicating that the urine sTREM-1 was an independent risk factor of sepsis associated AKI.@*Conclusion@#Urine sTREM-1 can be used as an early diagnostic biomarker for sepsis associated AKI, with advantage of noninvasiveness and convenience.

RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of remifentanil (RF) for analgesia of post-operative children with congenital heart disease in pediatric intensive care unit.Methods A total of 250 patients were enrolled and divided into 5 groups by random numerical table method.Patients in group RF1, RF2,RF3,SF and M was treated with at the doses of reminfentanil 1-3 μg/(kg·h),3-6 μg/(kg·h), 6-9 μg/(kg·h),sufentanil 0.08 μg/(kg·h) and morphine 20 μg/(kg·h) respectively.All the analgesias were given intravenously with midazolam 2 μg / ( kg·min) for sedative.We recorded the faces pain scale, Ramsay,vital signs(mean arterial pressure,heart rate),blood gas analysis,cortisol,ventilation time,times of contemporary sedation drugs and incidence of side effects in 24 hours after operation(1 h,4 h,8 h,12 h,24 h).Results The analgesic satisfaction in group M were lower than those in the other four groups at 1 h,4 h (P＜0.05),and the analgesic satisfaction in group RF3 were higher than those in group RF1 and RF2 at 1 h, 4 h,8 h(P＜0.05).Compared with group M and SF,group RF1,group RF2 and group RF3 had a more sta-ble hemodynamics (mean arterial pressure,heart rate).The times of contemporary sedative in group M were maximum among the 5 groups.The incidence of low blood pressure in group M was higher than those in the other four groups(P=0.06),while the incidence of respiratory depression in group RF3 was the most(P=0.06).There were also no significant differences in blood gas analysis,cortisol and ventilation time among each group.Conclusion The efficacy of remifentanil is superior to morphine.Compared with sufentanil and morphine,remifentanil has less influence on hemodynamics. We recommend the dose of remifentanil 3-6 μg/(kg·h),compound with midazolam 2 μg/(kg·min),which is more reliable and durable.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect and significance of the traditional Chinese medicine tetrandrine(TET) prenatal intervention on the expression of RhoA protein and Rho kinase ROCK1 in the fetal lung of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) rat model.Methods SD female rats with 9.5 d of gestation were randomly divided into the control group,CDH group and TET group.The CDH group and TET intervention group were administered with nitrofen by gavage for establishing CDH model.The TET intervention was given on 16.5 d of gestation.The fetal rat lungs were taken by cesarean section on 21.5 d of gestation and the lung weight/body ratio(Lw/Bw) was measured.The lung development and small pulmonary arterial morphologic changes in HE staining in all groups were observed with microscopy.The protein expression of RhoA and Rho kinase ROCK1were respectively examined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results In the CDH group,the lungs had obvious maldevelopment and the fetal lung development in the TET group was close to that in the control group.The lung development indicators of Lw/Bw,PAA％,and lung vascular remodeling indicators of lumen area and vascular total area ratio(LA％) in the CDH group were significantly lower than those in the control group(2.11±0.36 vs.4.24±0.31;33.60±3.12 vs.58.81 ±2.92;38.58±2.15 vs.61.20±3.23,P＜0.05),the indicators of Lw/Bw.PAA％ and LA％ after TET intervention were significantly improved compared with the CDH group(3.61±0.24 vs.2.11±0.36;42.46±3.68 vs.33.60±3.12;56.07±3.32 vs.38.58±2.15,all P ＜0.05);the ratio of small pulmonary artery wall thickness to vascular external diameter (WT％) and the medium thickness percentage (MT％) in CDH group were significantly higher than those in the control group(26.64±2.41 vs.13.50±1.45 and 25.98±2.79 vs.16.47±2.07,P＜0.05),WT％ and MT％ in the TET group were obviously lower than those in the CDH group (16.02±2.35 vs.26.64± 2.41 and 17.96 ± 1.95 vs.25.98 ± 2.79,P＜0.05).The immunohistochemistry and Western blot detection indicated that the expressions of RhoA and ROCK1 from low to high were the control group ＜TET group ＜ CDH group.Conclusion Pulmonary hypoplasia and lung vascular remodeling exist in fetal rats with CDH and Rho/Rho kinase signaling pathway may be involved in the process.Prenatally giving TET may play the lung protective effect by regulating the Rho/Rho signal pathway.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the hemodynamic responses and sedative effect of midazolam bolus following open heart surgery in children with congenital heart disease.Methods:All patients transferred from the operation room were put on ventilator.Invasive blood pressure and heart rate were closely monitored with SIEMENS 7000 monitor.Midazolam 0.1mg/kg intravenous bolus was administered when the child showed signs of recovering from anesthesia.The sedative effect was evaluated with Ramsay Sedation Score.Results:25 patients were included in this study.Midazolam intravenous injection showed excellent sedative effects in all patients with Ramsay score between 3 to 5 grade(P0.5).Conclusions:Midazolam showed excellent sedative effect following open heart surgery.Midazolam intravenuos bolus,even in low dose,may cause significant blood pressure decrease.It is suggested that midazolam intravenous bolus be used with caution,especially in haemodynamic unstable state.
