ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on the changes of the respiration and blood circulation as well as peripheral blood cytokines levels in patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome.Methods 48 SAP patients complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome were divided into control group and CRRT treatment group according to the parallel control design principle.The control group was treated with routine way,and the CRRT treatment group was treated with CRRT on the basis of routine way.The clinical data and the levels of IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α were compared between the two groups.Results The levels of IL-6,TNF-α were significantly lower in the CRRT treatment group than those in the control group in 12h [(147.72 ± 22.06) ng/L vs.(132.27 ± 18.03) ng/L,t =2.315,P＜0.05;(236.08 ±41.29) ng/L vs.(208.79±39.25)ng/L,t =2.406,P ＜0.05].The levels of IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α were significantly lower in the CRRT treatment group than those in the control group in 24h [(136.57 ± 30.74) ng/L vs.(109.98 ± 35.83) ng/L,t =2.184,P ＜ 0.05;(35.76 ± 8.57) ng/L vs.(28.96 ±3,95) ng/L,t =2.237,P ＜0.05;(219.81 ±36.06) ng/L vs.(173.48 ±48.19) ng/L,t =2.206,P ＜0.05].The level of PaO2/FiO2 was significantly higher in the CRRT treatment group than that in the control group in 24h[(139.89 ±35,61) vs.(173.12 ±21.84),t =2.913,P ＜0.01].The levels of Ppeak,IL-1β were significantly lower in the CRRT treatment group than those in the control group in 48h [(28.96 ± 4.14) cmH2 O vs.(24.73 ± 8.52) cmH2 O,t =2.518,P ＜0.05;(29.87 ±5.12) ng/L vs.(23.57 ±3.91) ng/L,t =2.427,P ＜0.05].The levels of IL-6,TNF-αwere significantly lower in the CRRT treatment group than those in the control group in 48h [(117.60 ± 23.46) ng/L vs.(88.56 ± 13.02) ng/L,t =3.062,P ＜ 0.01;(205.25 ± 46.14) ng/L vs.(141.63 ± 33.80) ng/L,t =3.174,P ＜0.01].The level of PaO2/FiO2 was significantly higher in the CRRT treatment group than that in the control group in 48h [(148.07 ± 25.64) vs.(193.23 ± 29.60),t =2.983,P ＜ 0.01].There were no significant differences between the control group and CRRT treatment group in PaO2/FiO2,Ppeak,IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α before treatment [(103.68±29.65) vs.(107.07 ±25.13),t =0.359,P ＞0.05;(34.62 ±7.36)cmH2O vs.(35.18 ±4.04)cmH2O,t =0.416,P ＞0.05;(152.61 ±31.53)ng/L vs (150.74 ±30.26) ng/L,t =0.668,P ＞0.05;(40.06 ±5.15) ng/L vs.(38.09 ±10.13) ng/L,t =0.819,P ＞0.05;(226.85 ±37.62) ng/L vs.(225.47 ±39.02) ng/L,t =0,702,P＞0.05].Conclusion CRRT can effectively reduce the plasma levels of IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α in SAP patients complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome,it has therapeutic effect on the respiration through changing the cytokines of SAP patients complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) targeting optimal oxygenation on local gas distribution and inflammation in dogs with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods ARDS was induced by saline alveoli-lavage and oleic acid intravenous. The animals were mechanical ventilated 4 h at optimal PEEP titrated by oxygenation. Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed before and after induction of ARDS and at the end the study. NF-κB was measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), IL-6 and IL-10 were assessed by ELISA.Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured. Pathological changes were examined under optical microscope. Results (1) Compared to baseline, total lung volumes decreased and nonaerated areas increased significantly after the induction of ARDS in both groups (P ＜ 0.05 ). Compared with ARDS models, PEEP titrated to achieve optimal oxygenation resulted in greater lung recruitment but was accompanied with hyperinflation, hyperinflation occurred in non-dependent lung. Compared with oleic acidinjured ARDS, the changing of hyperinflated lung areas was increased markedly in saline lavage-injured ARDS (P＜0.05). (2) Compared with right lung ventral lower lobe, lung injury score was lower in right lung upper lobe. Histological injury in right lung dorsal lower lobe was severer than that in right lung upper lobe and right lung ventral lower lobe. NF-κB activation of right lung dorsal lower lobe was markedly higher than right lung upper lobe (P ＜ 0.05 ). MPO and MDA were much higher with right lung dorsal lower lobe than right lung upper lobe and right lung ventral lower lobe ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Compared with right lung upper lobe and right lung ventral lower lobe, IL-6 and IL-10 increased markedly in right lung dorsal lower lobe ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusions Alveolar hyperinflation and aggravated lung injury in non-dependent region were occurred at PEEP targeting optimal oxygenation. Hyperinflation was more common in saline lavage-injured ARDS.
