ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of low replacement plasma exchange(LPE)combined with double plasma molecular adsorption(DPMAS)in the treatment of patients with chronic acute liver failure(ACLF)and its influence on liver function,inflammatory cytokines and short-term prognosis.Methods One hundred patients with ACLF were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group by envelope method,with 50 cases in each group.On basis of routine symptomatic treatments(liver protection,removing jaundice,reducing enzymes,anti-viruses,bleeding prevention),the control group and the observation group were treated with plasma exchange(PE)and LPE plus DPMAS,respectively.The liver function,coagulation function,the levels of inflammatory cytokines,incidence of adverse reactions,and 90-day survival rate were compared between the two groups after treatment.Results After treatment,the liver function and coagulation function in the observation group were significantly improved(P<0.05)and the levels of inflammatory cytokines were significantly lowered than those in the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the 90-day survival rate and the total incidence of adverse reactions between the groups(P>0.05).Conclusion LPE combined with DPMAS can effectively improve liver function and coagulation function,and reduce levels of inflammatory cyto-kines in ACLF patients,with high safety.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical application value of a predictive model for the efficacy of third-generation cephalosporin in the treatment of community-acquired spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (CASBP). MethodsThis prospective study was conducted among 50 patients with liver cirrhosis and CASBP who were admitted to The Ninth Hospital of Nanchang from January 2021 to June 2022, and the patients were randomly divided into optimized treatment group and traditional treatment group, with 25 patients in each group. The patients in the optimized treatment group received ceftazidime or imipenem for initial treatment based on the above predictive model, and those in the traditional treatment group received ceftazidime for initial treatment, with the subsequent use of antibiotics adjusted based on the efficacy of initial treatment. The two groups were compared in terms of the response rate of initial treatment, cure rate on day 5, and 30-day mortality rate. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsAll patients completed the study. The optimized treatment group had a significantly higher response rate of initial treatment than the traditional treatment group (88.0% vs 60.0%, χ2=5.094, P=0.024), while there was no significant difference in the cure rate on day 5 between the two groups (80.0% vs 56.6%, χ2=3.309, P=0.069). As for the patients who received ceftazidime for initial treatment, the optimized treatment group had a significantly higher response rate of initial treatment than the traditional treatment group (88.9% vs 60.0%, χ2=4.341, P=0.037), while there was no significant difference in the cure rate on day 5 between the two groups (83.3% vs 56.0%, χ2=2.425, P=0.119). There was no significant difference in 30-day mortality rate between the two groups (8.0% vs 20.0%, χ2=0.664, P=0.415). For all patients, there was a significant association between response of initial treatment and cure on day 5 (odds ratio [OR]=9.643, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.292‍ — ‍40.564) and between cure on day 5 and 30-day mortality (OR=0.138, 95%CI: 0.023‍ — ‍0.813). ConclusionThis predictive model for efficacy helps clinicians to identify the patients who can benefit from third-generation cephalosporin treatment and improve the efficacy of third-generation cephalosporin in the initial empirical treatment of CASBP.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the predictive factors for third-generation cephalosporin-resistant spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 206 patients with liver cirrhosis who were hospitalized in the Ninth Hospital of Nanchang from January 2010 to December 2018, and all patients had SBP with positive bacteria based on ascites culture. According to drug susceptibility results, the patients were divided into third-generation cephalosporin-resistant SBP group (101 patients with third-generation cephalosporin-resistant pathogenic bacteria in ascites) and control group (105 patients with pathogenic bacteria sensitive to third-generation cephalosporin). Electronic medical records were reviewed to collect related information. The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of data with skewed distribution between groups. The chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. A dichotomous logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis, and the Forward: LR method was used for the screening of independent variables. ResultsThere was a significant difference in the composition of pathogenic bacteria between the two groups (P<0.001). The univariate analysis showed that a history of broad-spectrum antibiotic exposure in the past three months (χ2=12.351, P<0001), non-first-time onset of SBP (χ2=14.427, P<0.001), blood creatinine (χ2=-2.537, P=0.011), and blood bicarbonate (χ2=-4.592, P<0.001) were candidate predictive factors with statistical significance between the two groups, and further multivariate analysis showed that a history of broad-spectrum antibiotic exposure in the past three months (odds ratio [OR]=2.376, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.009-5.598, P=0.048), non-first-time onset of SBP (OR=2.841, 95%CI: 1.133-7.122, P=0.026), and blood bicarbonate (OR=0.892, 95%CI: 0.818-0.973, P=0.010) had an independent predictive value for third-generation cephalosporin-resistant SBP. ConclusionA history of broad-spectrum antibiotic exposure in the past three months, non-first-time onset of SBP, and a low level of blood bicarbonate are independent predictive factors for third-generation cephalosporin-resistant SBP, and third-generation cephalosporins should be used with caution in SBP patients with these features.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of serum procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in nonneutrocytic ascitic spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (NASBP).Methods From January 2012 to January 2015,patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites were restropectively enrolled.Patients were divided into NASBP group and non-infective ascites group.The receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) was used for assessing diagnostic accuracy of serum PCT and CRP.Patients with conventional SBP were set as controls.Data between two groups were compared using t test,Rank sum test,x2 test or Fisher exact test.The areas under ROC curve or Youden indeces were compared using Z test.Results A total of 30 patients were collected in NASBP group,51 patients in non-infective ascites group and 33 patients in conventional SBP group.There were no statistically significant differences in PCT and CRP levels between NASBP group and conventional SBP group [0.70(0.25~2.45) μg/L,(21.85-±-16.46) mg/L;0.90(0.33~3.56) μg/L,(31.78-±26.74) mg/L] both P>0.05,and were both significantly higher than those of non-infective ascites group (0.20 (0.07 ~ 0.40) μg/L,Z=-3.38,t=4.64;(7.19±7.04) mg/L,Z=-3.89,t=-5.17,both P<0.05).The optimal cut-off value of PCT and CRP in the diagnosis of NASBP was 0.43 ng/mL and 12.76 mg/L,respectively.According to the cut-off value above,PCT,CRP and PCT plus CRP in series and in parallel in the diagnosis of NASBP,the areas under curves were 0.725,0.848,0.737 and 0.806,respectively,and there was no significant difference in pairwise comparison between groups.The sensitivities were 70.0%,70.0%,53.3% and 86.7%,respectively,there were statistically significant differences between inparallel and any other method (Fisher exact test,all P< 0.05).And there was no statistically significant difference (all P>0.05).The specificities were 76.5%,88.2%,94.1% and 74.5%,respectively.There was no statistically significant difference in PCT and CRP between combination in parallel and in series,while the differences in the other pairwise comparisons of combinations were statistically significant (Fisher exact test,P<0.05).The Youden's indexes were 0.465,0.582,0.474 and 0.612,respectively,there was no statistically significant difference in pairwise comparison between groups (all P>0.05).Conclusions All of serum PCT,CRP and the combination of them have good diagnostic value in NASBP with their own advantages which should be selected based clinical needs.
