ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effect of alanyl-glutamine(Ala-Gln) on aged patients with severe pneumonia. Methods:The hospital acquired 56 cases of patients with severe pneumonia,who were randomized in two groups:Ala-Gln group in 30 cases and controlled group in 26 cases Both groups were cared with anti-infection,nutrition support and symptomatic treatment,during which Ala-Gln group was supplemented with 10g alanyl-glutamine amid 250ml amino acid intravenous drip in 14 days,two times each.Before and after the treatment,both groups were monitored over their intestinal functions and measured over their Alb,IgG,total lymphocytes count,C-reactive protein,nitrogen balance,blood routine,liver and kidney function examinations.Result:There were statistical differences between the groups involving intestinal function monitoring(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of children with serious pneumonia with ventilatory support,and combined with heart failure,encephalopathy,hyponatramia,acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS).Methods One hundred and fifteen children(81 males,34 females) with serious pneumonia in ICU from Jul.2005 to Jul.2007 were reviewed,The duration of ventilation support was over 48 h.And blood electrolyte,blood gas,cerebrospinal fluid and CT were detected.Results Ninety-three cases had a good outcome,7 cases were given up,15 cases were dead.The complications included heart failure in 60 cases(52.17%);encephalopathy in 40 cases(34.78%),in which tics type in 38 cases(95%),apnea type in 11 cases(27.5%);hyponatremia in 42 cases(36.52%),of which tics type in 31 cases(73.81%),syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuetic hormone in 27 cases(72.97%)resulted in hyponatremia;ARDS in 8 cases(6.96%),pa(O2)/FiO2
