ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effects of different doses of ulinastatin on lung function in patients undergoing total aortic arch replacement.Methods:One hundred and thirty five patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection of both sexes, aged 20-70 yr, with body mass index of 16.2-33.3 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status Ⅳ, were divided into 3 groups ( n=45 each) using a random number table method: high-dose ulinastatin group (group H with total dose of 30 000 U/kg), low-dose ulinastatin group (group L with total dose of 20 000 U/kg) and control group (group C). In group H and group L, half of the total dose of ulinastatin was given after induction of anesthesia, the rest of the total dose was primed after being added to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit, while normal saline 100 ml was given at the same time point in group C. After induction of anesthesia (T 0), and at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after the beginning of CPB (T 1-5), blood samples from the central vein were collected for determination of plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). The oxygenation index (OI) and alveolar-arterial partial pressure of oxygen difference (P A-aO 2) at T 0 and T 2-T 5, intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusion, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay and the incidence of complications within 30 days after surgery were collected. Results:Compared with group C, the plasma concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly at T 1-T 5, OI was increased, and P A-aO 2 was decreased at T 2, 3 in H and L groups ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the mechanical ventilation time, length of ICU stay and incidence of complications within 30 days after surgery among the 3 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Ulinastatin can inhibit inflammatory responses and improve lung function in patients undergoing total aortic arch replacement, but it has no value for clinical outcomes.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate the effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma (aPRP) on postoperative outcomes in the patients undergoing Sun′s procedure.@*Methods@#One hundred and sixteen patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 19-34 kg/m2, of American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status Ⅳ, were divided into aPRP group (group A) and control group (group C) by a random number table method, with 58 cases in each group.After anesthesia induction and intubation, aPRP preparation was completed before surgery in group A, and surgery began in group C. After heparin neutralization, group A received retransfusion of platelet-rich plasma, while group C received conventional fluid management.Thromboelastography was performed on all patients, and the results were recorded.The intraoperative amount of allogeneic blood products and blood loss were recorded in two groups.Plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were recorded after anesthesia induction (T0), immediately after completion of aPRP preparation (T1), 3 h after heparin neutralization (T2), and at 24 and 48 h after surgery (T3, 4). The volume of postoperative chest drainage and amount of allogeneic blood products, mechanical ventilation time, lengths of intensive care unit and hospital stay, incidence of important complications and fatality rate within 30 days after surgery were also collected.@*Results@#Compared with group C, the intraoperative amount of allogeneic blood products and blood loss were significantly reduced, α angle and MA values of thromboelastograph were larger, plasma concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 were reduced at T2, 3, postoperative chest drainage volume and allogeneic blood transfusion were reduced, the postoperative mechanical ventilation time and length of hospital stay were shortened, and the incidence of pulmonary complications was reduced in group A(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the length of intensive care unit stay, incidence of other complications or fatality rate within 30 days after surgery between the two groups (P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#aPRP can improve postoperative outcomes in the patients undergoing Sun′s procedure.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma(aPRP)on postop-erative outcomes in the patients undergoing Sun's procedure.Methods One hundred and sixteen patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection of both sexes,aged 18-64 yr,with body mass index of 19-34 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status Ⅳ,were divided into aPRP group(group A)and control group(group C)by a random number table method,with 58 cases in each group.After an-esthesia induction and intubation,aPRP preparation was completed before surgery in group A,and surgery began in group C.After heparin neutralization,group A received retransfusion of platelet-rich plasma,while group C received conventional fluid management.Thromboelastography was performed on all patients,and the results were recorded.The intraoperative amount of allogeneic blood products and blood loss were recorded in two groups.Plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)were recorded after anesthesia induction(T0),immediately after completion of aPRP preparation(T1),3 h after heparin neutralization(T2),and at 24 and 48 h after surgery(T3,4).The volume of post-operative chest drainage and amount of allogeneic blood products,mechanical ventilation time,lengths of intensive care unit and hospital stay,incidence of important complications and fatality rate within 30 days after surgery were also collected.Results Compared with group C,the intraoperative amount of allogeneic blood products and blood loss were significantly reduced,α angle and MA values of thromboelastograph were larger,plasma concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 were reduced at T2,3,postoperative chest drainage volume and allogeneic blood transfusion were reduced,the postoperative mechanical ventilation time and length of hospital stay were shortened,and the incidence of pulmonary complications was reduced in group A(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the length of intensive care unit stay,incidence of other complications or fatality rate within 30 days after surgery between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclu-sion aPRP can improve postoperative outcomes in the patients undergoing Sun's procedure.
ABSTRACT
Objective:In order to get recombinant protein OCILRP 2-Fc and anti-OCILRP2 antibody for further study of OCILRP2.Methods:Eukaryotic expression vector pIg-CD5-OCILRP2 which fused with extracellular domain of OCILRP 2 and human IgG1 Fc fragment was constructed.G418 was used for stable expression cell strain after pIg-CD5-OCILRP2 transfected into CHO cells.Recombinant protein OCILRP 2-Fc purified from CHO cell supernatant was used to immunize rabbit and anti-OCILRP2 polyclonal antibody was purified from rabbit serum by using protein G column.Results: ELISA data showed that we got a high-titer anti-serum and anti-OCILRP2 antibody purified from the rabbit serum.Western blot indicated this antibody could specifically bind to OCILRP 2-Fc and OCILRP2 in NIH/3T3 lysate.OCILRP2 expression in murine bone marrow derived dendritic cells ( DC) was detected by this polyclonal antibody ,too.Compared to immature DC ,OCILRP2 expression was elevated in LPS induced-mature DC.Conclusion: This study has offered an available tool and provided a clue for further study of the roles of OCILRP 2 in immune response.
