ABSTRACT

The clinical data of 5 patients with occupational contact dermatitis caused by methyl chlorobutyrate treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College and Mamiao Township Hospital of Jinxiang County from September to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were all males aged 33-47 years with a history of exposure to methyl chlorobutyrate 1 to 4 d before the onset of symptoms. Three patients were hospitalized and 2 patients were treated in outpatient clinic. The clinical manifestations were erythema on the trunk or extremities of varying degrees, scattered with blisters and bullae of different sizes, with thin and clear blisters, local ulceration and exudation; no erosion or ulceration was found in the oral cavity and vulva. All 5 patients had elevated white blood cell counts, and 2 patients had abnormal liver function. All patients received symptomatic treatment with topical drugs. Three hospitalized patients were given methylprednisolone and loratadine; in addition, 1 case also received human immunoglobulin and moxifloxacin hydrochloride injection and 2 cases received hepatoprotective drugs. Two outpatients were given prednisone acetate and loratadine for treatment. Three hospitalized patients were all improved and discharged after 14-30 d of treatment. The rash of 2 outpatients subsided after 14 d of treatment, and there was no recurrence after 1-month follow-up. The occupational contact dermatitis caused by methyl chlorobutyrate is primary irritant contact dermatitis, often manifested as erythema and blisters on the trunk or limbs, and timely anti-allergic treatment can effectively control the disease.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of inferior vena cava variability (IVCV) combined with difference of central venous-to-arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Pcv-aCO 2) on guiding fluid resuscitation in septic shock. Methods:Patients with septic shock admitted to the department of critical care medicine of Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 were enrolled, and they were divided into control group and observation group according to random number table method. Patients in both groups were given fluid resuscitation according to septic shock fluid resuscitation guidelines. The patients in the control group received fluid resuscitation strictly according to the early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) strategy. Resuscitation target: central venous pressure (CVP) 12-15 cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O≈0.098 kPa), mean arterial pressure (MAP) > 65 mmHg (1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa), mean urine volume (UO) > 0.5 mL·kg -1·h -1, central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2) > 0.70. In the observation group, the endpoint of resuscitation was evaluated by IVCV dynamically monitored by bedside ultrasound and Pcv-aCO 2. Resuscitation target: fixed filling of inferior vena cava with diameter > 2 cm, IVCV < 18%, and Pcv-aCO 2 < 6 mmHg. The changes in recovery indexes before and 6 hours and 24 hours of resuscitation of the two groups were recorded, and the 6-hour efficiency of fluid resuscitation, 6-hour lactate clearance rate (LCR) and 6-hour and 24-hour total volume of resuscitation were also recorded; at the same time, the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, 28-day mortality and the incidence of acute renal failure and acute pulmonary edema between the two groups were compared. Results:A total of 80 patients were enrolled in the analysis, with 40 in the control group and 40 in the observation group. The MAP, CVP and ScvO 2 at 6 hours and 24 hours of resuscitation in the two groups were significantly higher than those before resuscitation, while Pcv-aCO 2 and blood lactic acid (Lac) were significantly decreased, and UO was increased gradually with the extension of resuscitation time, indicating that both resuscitation endpoint evaluation schemes could alleviate the shock state of patients. Compared with before resuscitation, IVCV at 6 hours and 24 hours of resuscitation in the observation group were decreased significantly [(17.54±4.52)%, (18.32±3.64)% vs. (27.49±10.56)%, both P < 0.05]. Compared with the control group, MAP and ScvO 2 at 6 hours of resuscitation in the observation group were significantly increased [MAP (mmHg): 69.09±4.64 vs. 66.37±4.32, ScvO 2: 0.666±0.033 vs. 0.645±0.035, both P < 0.05], 24-hour MAP was increased significantly (mmHg: 75.16±3.28 vs. 70.12±2.18, P < 0.05), but CVP was relatively lowered (cmH 2O: 9.25±1.49 vs. 10.25±1.05, P < 0.05), indicating that the fluid resuscitation efficiency was higher in the observation group. Compared with the control group, 6-hour LCR in the observation group was significantly increased [(55.64±6.23)% vs. (52.45±4.52)%, P < 0.05], 6-hour and 24-hour total volume of resuscitation was significantly decreased (mL: 2 860.73±658.32 vs. 3 568.54±856.43, 4 768.65±1 085.65 vs. 5 385.34±1 354.83, both P < 0.05), the duration of mechanical ventilation was significantly shortened (days: 6.78±3.45 vs. 8.45±2.85, P < 0.05), while the incidence of acute pulmonary edema was significantly decreased [2.5% (1/40) vs. 20.0% (8/40), P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the length of ICU stay, 28-day mortality or incidence of acute renal failure between the two groups. Conclusions:Dynamic monitoring of IVCV and Pcv-aCO 2 can effectively guide the early fluid resuscitation of patients with septic shock, and compared with EGDT, it can significantly shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation, reduce the amount of fluid resuscitation, and reduce the incidence of acute pulmonary edema. Combined with its non-invasive characteristics, it has certain clinical advantages.

ABSTRACT

The clinical data of 14 patients with niacin deficiency diagnosed and treated in Department of Dermatology, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from 2012 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 11 males and 3 females aged 26-65 years. The etiological factors were alcoholism in 8 cases, gastrointestinal disease in 3 cases, medication history in 1 case, and unknown etiology in 2 cases.Patients had typical skin lesions, 1 case also had both digestive system and nervous system symptoms, and 3 cases had combined digestive system symptoms and 2 cases had neurological symptoms. All patients were systematically treated with oral nicotinamide and vitamin B complex, and also with topical drugs; and they all improved after 14-52 days of treatment. During regular follow-up, 2 cases of alcoholics and 1 case with diarrhea had recurrence. It is suggested that the typical clinical triad of niacin deficiency is uncommon, and the diagnosis is based on the medical history, clinical manifestations and relevant laboratory test, and the treatment with nicotinamide and vitamin B complex is usually effective; alcoholism is the main cause in male patients and is prone to recurrence.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of celastrol in acute lung injury (ALI) of septic rats.Methods:According to random number table, 24 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into control group (Con group), Sham operation group (Sham group), sepsis-induced ALI group by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP group) and celastrol intervention group (CLP+celastrol group, 2 mg/kg intraperitoneal administration 1 hour before surgery), 6 rats in each group. The abdominal aortic blood of the rats was collected for blood gas analysis 24 hours after the surgery, and then the rats were sacrificed and the lung tissues were taken to calculate the lung wet/dry weight ratio (W/D). The pathological characteristics of lung tissues were observed under light microscope and calculated the lung injury score. The protein levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), interleukins (IL-6, IL-10), and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) of cytoplasm and nucleus in lung tissues were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results:The partial arterial oxygen pressure (PaO 2), lung W/D ratio, lung injury score and the protein levels of inflammatory factor in lung tissues had no differences between Con group and Sham group. Compared with the Con group, PaO 2 in the CLP group was significantly decreased [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 60.33±2.01 vs. 109.20±2.99], the lung W/D ratio and lung injury score were significantly increased (lung W/D ratio: 4.44±0.05 vs. 3.27±0.04, lung injury score: 10.67±0.42 vs. 0.50±0.22), and the protein levels of TLR4, IL-6, IL-10 and the nucleus NF-κB in the lung tissues were significantly increased [TLR4 (pg/L): 21.87±0.66 vs. 3.27±0.09, IL-6 (ng/L): 861.10±8.28 vs. 120.30±3.91, IL-10 (ng/L): 212.40±2.57 vs. 41.73±1.02, nuclear NF-κB (ng/L): 707.70±16.82 vs. 403.30±7.46], but the protein level of cytoplasm NF-κB was significantly decreased (ng/L: 213.70±8.67 vs. 408.30±8.71), with statistically significant differences (all P < 0.05). Compared with the CLP group, PaO 2 in CLP+celastrol group was significantly increased (mmHg: 76.83±3.21 vs. 60.33±2.01), the lung W/D ratio and lung injury score were significantly decreased (lung W/D ratio: 3.82±0.03 vs. 4.44±0.05, lung injury score: 5.00±0.37 vs. 10.67±0.42), and the protein levels of TLR4, IL-6, IL-10 and nucleus NF-κB in the lung tissue were significantly decreased [TLR4 (pg/L): 7.57±0.21 vs. 21.87±0.66, IL-6 (ng/L): 380.90±6.55 vs. 861.10±8.28, nuclear NF-κB (ng/L): 533.80±9.42 vs. 707.70±16.82], and the protein level of cytoplasm NF-κB was significantly increased (ng/L: 342.70±14.96 vs. 213.70±8.67), with statistically significant differences (all P < 0.05), while the protein level of IL-10 in lung tissues had no significant difference (ng/L: 210.50±3.16 vs. 212.40±2.57, P > 0.05). Conclusion:Celastrol may regulate the expression and release of inflammatory factors by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB pathway, thereby alleviating the ALI induced by sepsis in rats.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of airway driving pressure (ΔP) guided sedation strategy on the prognosis of patients with mechanical ventilation.Methods:Patients who needed invasive mechanical ventilation and admitted to the department of intensive care unit (ICU) of Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were enrolled. The patients were divided into study group and control group according to the random number table. After informed consent of patients or their families, both groups received routine treatment in ICU. The control group was treated with light sedation strategy, the Richmond agitation sedation score (RASS) was performed every 4 hours, and the target was RASS > -3. ΔP in the study group was measured once a day, and the sedative target of patients with low driving pressure (ΔP ≤ 14 cmH 2O, 1 cmH 2O = 0.098 kPa) was RASS > -3, while the patients with high driving pressure (ΔP > 14 cmH 2O) was RASS ≤ -3. The evaluation was conducted at 28 days after admission to ICU, and the patients were followed up to 60 days. The main outcome was days without mechanical ventilation in 28 days. The secondary outcomes were the rate of extubation, discharge outcome, incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) and delirium, and 60-day survival rate. Results:A total of 60 patients with respiratory failure due to various reasons were recruited, 30 in each group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, primary disease, severity of disease or ΔP between the two groups. The days without mechanical ventilation within 28 days in the study group were significantly more than that in the control group [days: 20 (0, 23) vs. 12 (0, 16), P = 0.018], and the incidences of VAP (3.3% vs. 16.7%, P = 0.045) and delirium (0% vs. 10.0%, P = 0.038) were significantly lower than that in the control group. There were no significant differences in the rate of extubation (73.3% vs. 66.7%, P = 0.273), discharge outcome [improvement (cases): 24 vs. 21, unhealed (cases): 2 vs. 5, deaths (cases): 4 vs. 4, P = 0.506] and 60-day survival rate (83.3% vs. 76.7%, P = 0.519) between the study group and control group. Conclusion:Compared with light sedation strategy, ΔP directed sedation strategy can effectively shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and reduce the incidence of VAP and delirium in the ICU patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the relationship between semi-quantitative parameters of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and long-term prognosis of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and to find prognostic indicators from non-invasive images of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods:Data were collected from January 2011 to January 2012 via a prospective clinical trial with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Clinical information was from 71 patients who completed the treatment plan with long-term follow-ups and UICC 2010 stage Ⅲ, Ⅳ A, Ⅳ B. The patients received three cycles of Taxotere-Platinol-Fluorouracil (TPF) regimen chrono-chemotherapy, followed by two cycles of concurrent paclitaxel chemotherapy with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). DCE-MRI examination was performed before induction chemotherapy to obtain DCE-MRI related semi-quantitative parameters. Correlation analysis was conducted between DCE-MRI related semi-quantitative parameters and short-term efficacy of nasopharyngeal lesions after concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Results:Of all 77 patients, 71 completed treatment and were followed up from 9 to 86 months, with a median follow-up of 77 months, with 80.2% and 67.6% in 3- and 5-year OS, 73.2% and 60.5% in 3- and 5-year PFS, respectively. Evaluation of short-term efficacy of nasopharyngeal lesions after concurrent chemoradiotherapy: the difference in tissue arrival time of contrast agent between complete response (CR) group and partial response (PR) group was statistically significant ( t=0.537, P<0.05). Univariate survival analysis found that OS ( χ2=3.982, P<0.05) and PFS ( χ2=4.019, P<0.05) in the group with short contrast arrival time were significantly higher than those in the group with long contrast arrival time. OS ( χ2=7.593, P<0.05) and PFS ( χ2=5.624, P<0.05) of patients aged over 45 years were significantly lower than those aged less than 45 years. Cox multivariate regression model showed that advanced clinical stage (stage Ⅳ A, Ⅳ B) ( P=0.048) and age≥45 years ( P=0.031) were independent prognostic factors of OS in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Long arrival time of contrast agent ( P=0.018), age≥45 years ( P=0.004), advanced N(2-3) stage ( P=0.032) and enhancement peak<3 000 ( P=0.005) were independent prognostic factors of PFS in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Conclusions:The arrival time of the contrast agent in DCE-MRI may be a reliable prognostic factor for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the main characteristics of air pollution in Nanchang City, and discuss the correlation between air pollution exposure (especially PM2.5) and the development of pneumonia related intensive care unit (ICU) patients and their lag effect.Methods 2454 patients who lived in Nanchang City admitted to ICU of Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 1st, 2014 to December 31st, 2016 were enrolled. According to the diagnosis, the patients were divided into pneumonia group (156 cases) and non-pneumonia group (2298 cases). The general clinical characteristics of patients and air pollution concentration in Nanchang in the year between 2014-2016 were collected. Multiple regression model was used to analyze the influence of meteorological factors on the condition of ICU patients associated with pneumonia. Using odds ratio (OR), the correlation intensity of air pollution exposure and pneumonia related ICU patients' development was reflected, and the confidence level of association intensity was reflected by the 95% confidence interval (95%CI). The distribution lag nonlinear model (DLNM) was established to evaluate the effect of air mass parameters on the time lag effect.Results The results of air pollution analysis in Nanchang City in the year between 2014-2016 showed that the annual average concentration of carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was low and maintained at the same level in the year between 2014-2016. The annual average concentration of CO and NO2 increased in the year between 2014-2016, but the average annual concentration of SO2 decreased rapidly in the year between 2014-2016, and the average annual concentration of PM2.5 tended to slow down after the year between 2014-2016. The annual average concentration of PM10 decreased in the year between 2014-2016, but continued to rise in the year between 2014-2016. The annual mean concentration of O3 showed a trend of continuous increase from the year between 2014-2016. The age of pneumonia group was generally higher than that of non-pneumonia group, most of them were male, and had higher expected mortality and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ) score. The average air temperature in the pneumonia group was lower than that in the non-pneumonia group on the day of entering the group, and the air pollutants such as PM2.5 and PM10 were significantly higher than those in the non-pneumonia group. The analysis of multiple regression models showed that PM2.5 and air temperature were significantly related to patients with ICU pneumonia on the day of entry (PM2.5:OR = 1.02, 95%CI =1.00-1.03,P < 0.05; air temperature:OR = 0.96, 95%CI = 0.92-0.98,P < 0.05), and the effect of PM2.5 on patients with ICU pneumonia could last for at least 5 days (OR = 1.04, 95%CI = 1.00-1.09,P < 0.05), and the effect disappeared until the 7th day. According to the analysis of the influence of different concentrations of PM2.5 on ICU pneumonia patients, when the PM2.5 concentration reached 200μg/m3, its effect on ICU pneumonia patients would last for 5 days (OR = 1.45, 95%CI = 1.07-1.76,P < 0.01).Conclusion PM2.5 and air temperature are significantly related to the condition of ICU patients with pneumonia, and the influence of high concentration of PM2.5 on ICU patients with pneumonia has a lag effect.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the application of autoregressive integrated moving average(ARIMA)model to predict the monthly reported malaria cases in China,so as to provide a reference for prevention and control of malaria. Methods SPSS 24.0 software was used to construct the ARIMA models based on the monthly reported malaria cases of the time series of 2006-2015 and 2011-2015,respectively. The data of malaria cases from January to December,2016 were used as validation data to compare the accuracy of the two ARIMA models. Results The models of the monthly reported cases of malaria in China were ARIMA(2,1,1)(1,1,0)12 and ARIMA(1,0,0)(1,1,0)12 respectively. The comparison between the predictions of the two models and actual situation of malaria cases showed that the ARIMA model based on the data of 2011-2015 had a higher ac-curacy of forecasting than the model based on the data of 2006-2015 had. Conclusion The establishment and prediction of ARIMA model is a dynamic process,which needs to be adjusted unceasingly according to the accumulated data,and in addi-tion,the major changes of epidemic characteristics of infectious diseases must be considered.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the protective effects of vascular endothelial growth factor-165 (VEGF165) transfected the endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) mediated by lentivirus on acute lung injury (ALI) in rats. Methods The mononuclear cells from the male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were isolated and cultured to get the EPCs for study. The lentivirus vector carrying the human VEGF165 gene was constructed. According to the random number table method, 90 male SD rats were divided into ALI model group, phosphate buffer solution (PBS) group, EPCs treatment group, none transfected EPCs treatment group and VEGF165 transfected EPCs treatment group, and the rats in each group were subdivided into 4, 12 and 48 hours subgroups, with 6 rats in each subgroup. The rat model of ALI was reproduced by intravenous injection of oleic acid (0.15 μL/g). Then each treatment group was given PBS, EPCs, none transfected EPCs and VEGF165 transfected EPCs respectively with the same volume of 0.2 mL. For the groups with cells, about 1×106cells were contained. Abdominal aortic blood and lung tissue were harvested at 4, 12 and 48 hours. Arterial blood gas analysis was performed. The lung wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) was calculated. The expressions of induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), endothelin-1 (ET-1) and VEGF165 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). After dyed with hematoxylin-eosin (HE), the lung tissue pathology was observed and the lung injury score was performed. Results Compared with the ALI model group, the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) in EPCs, none transfected EPCs and VEGF165 transfected EPCs treatment groups was significantly increased from 4 hours, and lung W/D, expressions of iNOS and ET-1 were significantly decreased, and VEGF165 expression was significantly increased. Compared with the EPCs treatment group, the increase in PaO2, the decrease in lung W/D and expressions of iNOS and ET-1, and the increase in VEGF165 expression in VEGF165 transfected EPCs treatment group were more significant [4 hours: PaO2(mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) was 82.84±10.69 vs. 72.34±9.36, lung W/D ratio was 4.83±0.23 vs. 5.55±0.37, iNOS (ng/mg) was 8.77±1.10 vs. 14.84±1.34, ET-1 (ng/mg) was 103.41±5.66 vs. 153.08±5.12, VEGF165 (ng/mg) was 130.56±12.16 vs. 83.03±5.95; 12 hours: PaO2(mmHg) was 91.67±6.81 vs. 78.5±8.81, lung W/D ratio was 4.44±0.35 vs. 5.32±0.25, iNOS (ng/mg) was 7.23±0.24 vs. 14.04±1.18, ET-1 (ng/mg) was 91.98±3.52 vs. 125.99±7.55, VEGF165 (ng/mg) was 164.49±5.71 vs. 96.61±6.12]; individual parameters reached valley value or peak value at 48 hours [lung W/D ratio was 4.26±0.30 vs. 4.89±0.15, iNOS (ng/mg) was 5.79±0.85 vs. 12.72±1.10, ET-1 (ng/mg) was 74.53±7.10 vs. 108.33±5.84, VEGF165 (ng/mg) was 237.43±10.79 vs. 134.24±11.99, all P < 0.05]. Over time, lung tissue injury in each group was gradually increased, and the lung injury score was gradually increased. The lung injury score at 48 hours in the EPCs, none transfected EPCs and VEGF165 transfected EPCs treatment groups were lower than that in the ALI model group. Compared with the EPCs treatment group, the VEGF165 transfected EPCs treatment group had a lower score at 48 hours (8.50±1.05 vs. 10.50±1.05, P < 0.05). Conclusion The transplantation of EPCs which were transfected with VEGF165 mediated by lentivirus could obviously improve the oxygen pressure, reduce the lung water seepage, decrease the iNOS and ET-1 expressions in lung tissue, and had obvious protective effects on ALI.

ABSTRACT

Objective To approach the effect of different vasopressor on hemodynamics, volume responsiveness, fluid volume balance, renal function and prognosis in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) complicated with septic shock.Methods A prospective single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. ARDS patients with septic shock admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 1st, 2015 to May 1st, 2016 were enrolled. The patients satisfied ARDS Berlin diagnostic criteria, over 15 years old, needing vasopressor after fluid resuscitation were enrolled. The patients were divided into norepinephrine group (NE group) and terlipressin group (TP group) by randomise number table derived by computer. Patients in TP group were given terlipressin (0.01-0.04 U/min) with an intravenous pump, while those of NE group were given norepinephrine (> 1μg/min) with an intravenous pump, and the target mean arterial pressure (MAP) was maintained at 65-75 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa). Hemodynamics and extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) were monitored by pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO). The volume responsiveness of patient was evaluated by passive leg raising (PLR) test, and cardiac index (CI) change (ΔCI ≥ 10%) served as positive volume responsiveness. The differences in hemodynamics, EVLWI, oxygenation index (OI), lactate clearance rate (LCR), rate of positive volume responsiveness, urinary output, fluid volume balance, renal function, and prognostic indicators were compared between the two groups.Results Fifty-seven patients with ARDS complicated with septic shock were enrolled, with 26 patients in NE group, and 31 patients in TP group, thebaseline data in both groups was balanced with comparability. Compare with NE group, 48-hour and 72-hour heart rate (HR) in TP group was significantly slowed (bpm: 82.1±6.8 vs. 87.6±7.4, 81.3±6.1 vs. 85.6±8.3, bothP 0.05).Conclusions Compared with norepinephrine, terlipressin for ARDS patients with septic shock is more conducive to restrict fluid load, improve the renal perfusion and increase urine output. However, in both groups therewas no significant difference in the efficiency of stabilizing hemodynamics, shortening the duration of mechanical ventilation, reducing ICU or hospital days and decreasing 28-day mortality.

ABSTRACT

@#Babesia parasites are obligate intracellular apicomplexan protozoa and important pathogens causing babesiosis of humans and animals. They have conserved subcellular structures and invasion mechanism. Rhoptry⁃associated proteins,which are released into the host cell,are considered to be the key molecules of invasion and replication of parasites in the host cell and are immunosuppressive factors of the host cell mediated immunity in the stage of parasitophorous vacuole(PV)formation. The knowledge about rhoptry⁃associated proteins has made a great progress with the development of genomics and proteomics,so we review the research progress in rhoptry⁃associated proteins of different Babesia including Babesia bovis,B. ovine,B. gibsoni,B. bigemina and B. orientalis,etc.

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the influence of different ways of low-dose corticosteroids infusion on hemodynamics, changes in blood glucose level and prognosis in patients with refractory septic shock. Methods A prospective single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. Refractory septic shock patients admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital from April 1st, 2013 to October 31st, 2014 were enrolled for the study. The patients were divided into control group and research group by random number table. Besides conventional treatment for septic shock, patients in control group were given 200 mg/d hydrocortisone intravenous infusion lasting for 2 hours, while those of research group were given 8.33 mg/h hydrocortisone per hour with an intravenous pump. Treatment lasted for 5 continuous days for both groups. The changes in heart rate ( HR ), mean arterial pressure ( MAP ), central venous pressure ( CVP ) and arterial blood lactic acid in both groups were observed at the time of enroldment and 6 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 5 days after the treatment. With a dynamic blood glucose monitor, mean blood glucose ( MBG ) level, largest amplitude of glycemic excursions ( LAGE ), glucose variability ( GV ), and the ratio of hyperglycaemia time were recorded. The duration of shock, length of intensive care unit ( ICU ) stay, total length of hospital stay, and 28-day mortality of both groups were recorded. Results Seventy-nine septic shock patients were assigned to the treatment, with 41 in control group, and 38 in research group. Compared with control group, 6-hour MAP in research group was obviously lowered [ mmHg ( 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa ):66.31±4.38 vs. 68.58±4.86, t=1.062, P=0.033 ], but there were no significant differences in HR, MAP, CVP, lactic acid clearance and norepinephrine ( NE ) utilization rates at other time points between two groups. No significant difference in MBG was found between research group and control group ( mmol/L:8.69±2.14 vs. 9.95±3.87, t=1.771, P=0.080 ), but LAGE, GV, the ratio of hyperglycemia time in research group were significantly lower than those of the control group [ LAGE ( mmol/L ): 17.18±8.97 vs. 22.71±11.80, t = 2.331, P = 0.022; GV ( mmol/L ): 2.57±1.05 vs. 3.16±1.37, t=2.136, P=0.036;the ratio of hyperglycemia time:( 43.1±11.7 )%vs. ( 49.4±15.3 )%, t=2.044, P=0.044 ]. There was no statistical difference in the following features between research group and control group, such as the duration of shock ( days:3.47±0.98 vs. 3.61±1.07, t=0.605, P=0.547 ), length of ICU stay ( days:8.74±3.12 vs. 9.97±3.37, t = 1.543, P = 0.120 ), total length of hospital stay ( days: 18.34±9.27 vs. 19.58±9.83, t = 0.576, P = 0.566 ) and 28-day mortality rate ( 23.68%vs. 26.83%,χ2=0.103, P=0.748 ). Conclusions Compared with slow intravenous infusion, a continuous intravenous supplementation of small amount of hydrocortisone to patients with refractory septic shock could stabilize blood glucose levels and maintain metabolic balance efficiently. However, in both groups there was no significant difference in the efficiency in stabilizing hemodynamics, shortening shock duration, reducing ICU or hospital days and decreasing 28-day mortality.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the influence of different positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebrovascular autoregulation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods A prospective study was conducted.Moderate or severe ARDS patients admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 1st,2013 to October 1st,2013 were enrolled.The changes in hemodynamics,respiratory mechanics and gas exchange under different levels of PEEP were observed.CBF velocity of middle cerebral artery (MCA) was measured using transcranial Doppler (TCD),and breath-holding index (BHI) was also calculated.Results 35 patients with ARDS were included.The oxygenation index (OI),peak inspiratory pressure (PIP),plat pressure (Pplat) and central venous pressure (CVP) were markedly elevated [OI (mmHg,1 mmHg=0.133 kPa):324.7± 117.2 vs.173.4± 95.8,t=5.913,P=0.000; PIP (cmH2O):34.7 ± 9.1 vs.26.1 ± 7.9,t=4.222,P=0.000; Pplat (cmH2O):30.5 ± 8.4 vs.22.2 ± 7.1,t=4.465,P=0.000; CVP (mmHg):12.1 ± 3.5 vs.8.8 ± 2.2,t=4.723,P=0.000] when PEEP was increased from (6.4 ± 1.0) cmH2O to (14.5-± 2.0) cmH2O (1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa).But no significant difference in the heart rate (beats/min:85.5 ± 19.1 vs.82.7 ± 17.3,t=0.643,P=0.523),mean arterial pressure (mmHg:73.5 ± 12.4 vs.76.4 ± 15.1,t=0.878,P=0.383) and CBF velocity of MCA [peak systohc flow velocity (Vmax,cm/s):91.26 ± 17.57 vs.96.64 ± 18.71,t=1.240,P=0.219; diastolic flow velocity (Vmin,cm/s) 31.54 ±7.71 vs.33.87 ±8.53,t=1.199,P=0.235; mean velocity (Vmean,cm/s) 51.19 ± 12.05 vs.54.27 ± 13.36,t=1.013,P=0.315] was found.18 patients with BHI<0.1 at baseline demonstrated that cerebral vasomotor reactivity was poor.BHI was slightly decreased with increase in PEEP (0.78 ± 0.16 vs.0.86 ± 0.19,t=1.905,P=0.061).Conclusions Some of moderate or severe ARDS patients without central nervous system disease have independent of preexisting cerebral autoregulation impairment.However,independent of preexisting cerebral autoregulation may not further be impaired when a high PEEP was chosen.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study dynamic changes of T cell subsets and CD3+HLA-DR+T cells in peripheral blood of composite tissue transplantation-hand allograft recipients. Methods The levels of CD3+、CD3+CD4+、CD3+CD8+、CD3+HLA-DR+T cells and ratio of CD4/CD8 in peripheral blood of hand allograft recipients in different periods were examined by using flow cytometry.The recipients before transplantation were as the control groups.Results The first day after transplantation,the levels of CD3+、CD3+CD4+、CD3+CD8+、CD3+HLA-DR+T cells and ratio of CD4/CD8 all began to descend.The 3th to 5th day after transplantation,the levels were the lowest.The 8th day,the levels of CD3+、CD3+CD4+、CD3+CD8+、CD3+HLA-DR+T cells and ratio of CD4/CD8 were eventually rised and go to stable 15th day after transplantation.But the levels of CD3+、CD3+CD4+and value of CD4/CD8 were still lower than those of the contols,and the levels of CD3+CD8+、CD3+HLA-DR+T cells were higher distinctly.Conclusion Dynamic changes of T cell subsets and active T cells in peripheral blood of composite tissue transplantation-hand allograft recipients were accordant with that of renal allograft recipients with stable period and with stable clinical state of the hand transplantation recipients.
