Totally 80 male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group， Shengmaiyin low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （350， 700， 1 400 g/L， by crude drug）， Shengmaiyin polysaccharide low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （24.5， 49， 98 g/L， by crude drug）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for blank group， other groups were given Rheum palmatum water decoction 10 mL/kg to induce spleen deficiency model， once a day， for consecutive 15 d. Since the 16th day， blank group and model group were given isovolumic water intragastrically， while other groups were given corresponding drugs， once a day， for consecutive 10 d. The general status of rats and body weights were recorded in each group. The serum contents of D-xylose， gastrin （GAS） and vasoactive intestinal peptide （VIP） were detected by phloroglucinol method or ELISA. RESULTS： The optimal extraction technology of Shengmaiyin polysaccharide was material-liquid ratio 1 ∶ 10（g/mL）， extraction time 45 min， extraction temperature 80 ℃， extracting for 1 time. Results of validation test showed that extraction rates of the polysaccharide in 3 times were 7.43％， 7.64％， 7.80％ （RSD＝1.01％， n＝3）. After modeling， except for blank group， other groups suffered from loose stools， thin body and reduced food intake， and the body weight and serum level of D-xylose were decreased significantly compared with blank group （P＜0.01）. After last medication， above symptoms of administration groups were improved to different extents. Except for model group， body weight and serum contents of D-xylose in other groups were increased significantly than those before modeling or before medication （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with blank group， body weight and serum content of GAS were decreased significantly in model group， while serum content of VIP was increased significantly （P＜0.01）.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) monitoring in the patients after cardiac operation.Methods Fifty patients after cardiac operation were randomly selected into this study.After the patients entered ICU 2 h,ScvO2,mixed venous oxygen saturation (S(v)vO2),lactate (Lac) were detected at the same time and oxygen extraction rate (O2ER) was calculated.Fifty patients were divided into three groups according to the level of ScvO2,group A (ScvO2 ＜0.65,23 patients),group B (ScvO2 0.65-0.75,18 patients),group C (ScvO2 ＞ 0.75,9 patients).The correlation among ScvO2,S(v)vO2,O2ER were analyzed.The correlation between ScvO2 and Lac in each group were calculated.The level of Lac in three groups were compared.The incidence rate of complications,ventilator time and ICU stay time were compared.Results The level of ScvO2,S（v）O2,O2ER,Lac in 50patients were 0.656 ±0.086,0.639 ±0.081,0.356 ±0.084,(2.6 ± 1.3) mmol/L.The level of ScvO2 had significantly positive correlation with S(v)O2 (r =0.688,P ＜ 0.01),and had significantly negative correlation with O2ER (r =-0.640,P ＜0.01).In group A,the level of Lac had significantly negative correlation with ScvO2 (r =-0.772,P ＜ 0.01).In group C,the level of Lac had significantly positive correlation with ScvO2 (r =0.717,P ＜ 0.05).In group B,the level of Lac had no significant correlation with ScvO2 (r =-0.358,P ＞0.05).The level of Lac in group A and group C was significantly higher than that in group B [(2.0 ± 0.9),(4.8 ±2.1) mmol/L vs.(1.6 ±0.5) mmol/L] (P ＜0.05 or ＜0.01).The incidence rate of hyoxemia,low cardiac output syndrome and renal functional lesion in group A were significantly higher than those in group B (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence rate of liver functional lesion and renal functional lesion in group C were significantly higher than those in group B (P ＜ 0.05).The ventilator time and ICU stay time in group A andgroup C were significantly longer than those in group B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions ScvO2 is an ideal index to judge oxygen equilibrium in early period after cardiac operation.The lower and supranormal ScvO2 both suggest tissue hypoxia,resulting in increased postoperative complications and prolonged treatment.
ABSTRACT
@#BACKGROUND: High-volume hemofiltration (HVHF) is technically possible in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) patients complicated with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Continuous HVHF is expected to become a beneficial adjunct therapy for SAP complicated with MODS. In this study, we aimed to explore the effects of fluid resuscitation and HVHF on alveolar-arterial oxygen exchange, the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score in patients with refractory septic shock. METHODS: A total of 89 refractory septic shock patients, who were admitted to ICU, the Provincial Hospital affiliated to Shandong University from August 2006 to December 2009, were enrolled in this retrospective study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: fluid resuscitation (group A, n=41), and fluid resuscitation plus high-volume hemofiltration (group B, n=48). The levels of O2 content of central venous blood (CcvO2), arterial oxygen content (CaO2), alveolar-arterial oxygen pressure difference P(A-a)DO2, ratio of arterial oxygen pressure/alveolar oxygen pressure (PaO2/PAO2), respiratory index (RI) and oxygenation index (OI) were determined. The oxygen exchange levels of the two groups were examined based on the arterial blood gas analysis at different times (0, 24, 72 hours and 7 days of treatment) in the two groups. The APACHE II score was calculated before and after 7-day treatment in the two groups. RESULTS: The levels of CcvO2, CaO2 on day 7 in group A were significantly lower than those in group B (CcvO2: 0.60±0.24 vs. 0.72±0.28, P<0.05; CaO2: 0.84±0.43 vs. 0.94±0.46, P<0.05). The level of oxygen extraction rate (O2ER) in group A on the 7th day was significantly higher than that in group B ( 28.7±2.4 vs. 21.7±3.4, P<0.01). The levels of P(A-a)DO2 and RI in group B on the 7th day were significantly lower than those in group A. The levels of PaO2/PAO2 and OI in group B on 7th day were significantly higher than those in group A (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The APACHE II score in the two groups reduced gradually after 7-day treatment, and the APACHE II score on the 7th day in group B was significantly lower than that in group A (8.2±3.8 vs. 17.2±6.8, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: HVHF combined with fluid resuscitation can improve alveolar- arterial-oxygen exchange, decrease the APACHE II score in patients with refractory septic shock, and thus it increases the survival rate of patients.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of fluid resuscitation and large-volume hemofiltration (HVHF) on the Alveolar-arterial oxygen exchange in patients with refractory septic shock. Method A total of 89 intensive care patients with refractory septic shock treated with fluid resuscitation and/or HVHF were enrolled between August 2006 and December 2009. All the patients were randomly divided into two groups. In group A, patients were treated with fluid resuscitation, n = 41 cases) and in group B, patients were treated with large-volume hemofiltration and fluid resuscitation, n =48). The O2 content of central venous blood(CcvO2), arterial oxygen content (CaO2), Alveolar-arterial oxygen pressure difference (P(A-a)DO2), the ratio of arterial oxygen pressure/alveolar oxygen pressure (PaO2/PAO2), respiratory index (RI) and oxygenation index (OI) were checked. The levels of oxygen exchange in two groups were detected by arterial blood gas analysis before treatnent, 24 hour, 72 hour and 7 days after treatment. The APACHE Ⅱ scores in patients with refractory septic shock were measured before and the 7th day after treatment with HVHF and/or fluid resuscitation respectively. Data were analyzed by using t -test and chi-square test to compare the differences and ratio between two groups and were expressed in mean ± standard deviation, and the analysis of variance was done with SPSS version 12.0 software. Results ① The differences in CcvO2 and CaO2 between two groups were[(0.60±0.24) vs. (0.72±-0.28), P ＜0.05 and (0.84±0.43) vs. (0.94±0.46), P ＜0.05]; and the oxygen extraction rates (O2ER) were significantly different between two groups [(28.7±2.4) vs. (21.7±3.4), P<0.01];② The levels of P(A-a)DO2、ratio of PaO2/PAO2、RI and OI in group B were reduced more significantly than in group A (P<0.05 or P<0.01);③The APACHE Ⅱ scores in both groups were gradually reduced after treatment for 7 days, and the APACHE Ⅱscore in group B on the 7th day of treatment were lower than that in group A[(17.2 ± 6.8) vs. (8.2 ± 3.8), P ＜ 0.01]. Conclusions Fluid resuscitation and HVHF could improve alveolar-arterial-oxygen exchange in patients with refractory septic shock, and at the same time decreased the APACHE Ⅱ scores, improving the survival rate of patients.

ABSTRACT
For the dispensing of Kampo formulas, only an adult dose is described by conventional formulary. Therefore a child's dose is often prescribed by reducing instructions for the fraction-times of an adult dose. However, it is necessary to study whether the content of Kampo-extract pharmaceutical preparations at a child's dose, are similar to decoctions prepared by reducing the dose of crude drugs, and reducing the quantity of water by fraction-times. Therefore it was compared whether the constituents of a decoction liquid at an adult dose, were equal to those of a child's dose. In the decoction method of our clinic, adult doses are decocted with an initial 600mL quantity of water to half volume, as per the normal decoction method, whereas children's doses are reduced to 2/3 or 1/3 times that of adult dose, and decocted to half of the early-stage quantity of water that they are with adults. In the present study, three Kampo formulas which have been used frequently in our clinic and have different prescription weights i.e., Oren-gedoku-to (9g), Keishi-bukuryo-gan-ryo (20g), and Juzen-taiho-to (33g) were studied. When child and adult doses were compared, a difference was noted in pH, extraction rate and extracted constituents. Extraction rates for a child's dose of Oren-gedoku-to and Juzen-taiho-to were lower than that of an adult dose. Extraction rates of component gradients? ferulic acid in Oren-gedoku-to, pae-oniflorin in Keishi-bukuryo-gan-ryo, and paeoniflorin and liquiritin in Juzen-taiho-to? for a child's dose were lower than those of an adult dose. However, extraction rates of component gradients? albiflorin in Keishi-bukuryo-gan-ryo and albiflorin and trans-cinnamic acid in Juzen-taiho-to ? for a child's dose (quantity of 1/3 times) were higher than those of an adult dose. These results suggest that the content of a decoction, which was prepared by reducing an adult dose to the fraction-time of a child's dose, is not the same as reducing the amount of Kampo-extract pharmaceutical preparation to the fraction-time of a child's dose.
ABSTRACT
In order to learn the tissuse perfusion and oxygenization in the patient with septic shock (SS) in Qinghai plateau,25 cases having suffered from SS in Xining,the capital of Qinghai province, were divided into death group (group D) and survival group(group S), and the data of oxygen dynamics, determined by Swan-Ganz cathter and thermodilution methods,were analyzed retrospectively. The results showed that the oxygen delivery (DO_2) and oxygen consumption (VO_2) increased to varying degrees in all of cases;VO_2 was positively correlated with DO_2, and in group D the correlation remained significant during whole duration of disease,but in group S it became unsignificant as DO_2 was above 700 ml?min~(-1)?m~(-2); the oxygen extraction rate decreased markedly in both groups,but much more in group D. These suggest that the insufficient oxygenization of general tissuse in patient with SS results from the dysfunction of oxygen extraction,and increasing DO_2 is helpful for the shock resuscitation except VO_2 is persistently and positively correlatded with DO_2.
ABSTRACT
The extraction rates of biogenic amines such as 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) and norepinephrine(NE) in pulmonary endothelium, and the permeability of human serum albumin(HSA) to pulmonary epithelium were measured in experimental adult respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS), in order to evaluate their usefulness for the early recognition of ARDS. Sixteen mongrel dogs(body weight, 13+/-0.9 kg) were divided into 3 groups; Oleic acid 0.06 ml/kg was injected to 6 dogs(M group) and oleic acid 0.12 ml/kg to 6 dogs(S group). Four dogs were used as a control group. The extraction rates(%) of 14C-5-HT and 3H-NE, the blood concentration of (99m)Tc-HSA, hemodynamic changes and changes of arterial gas profile were measured and compared among three groups. In control group with 100% oxygen ventilation, the extraction rates of 14C-5-HT, 3H-NE and the blood concentration of 99mTc-HSA were not changed. In M group, the extraction rate(%) of 14C-5-HT was decreased from 61.5+/-3.1 to 43.8+/-5.2 in 10 minutes, and such decreased extraction rate(%) was maintained for 2 hours. The extraction rate(%) of (3)H-NE was decreased from 32.3+/-3.6 to 19.5+/-2.5 in 10 minutes. In S group, the extraction rate(%) of 14C-5-HT was decreased from 60.9+/-5.1 to 23.2+/-5.7 in the first 10 minutes, and the extraction rate(%) of H-NE was decreased from 30.1+/-4.3 to l3.1+/-1.9 in 10 min, and decreased slowly thereafter. The blood concentration of 99mTc-HSA was decreased significantly in M group and more in S group compared with control group during two-hour observation. These results suggest that measuring extraction rates of biogenic amines couid be applied for early recognition of ARDS, however, the change of blood 99mTc-HSA concentration could not be applied for early recognition of ARDS, because it has poor correlation to the progression of respiratory failure.
