RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo explore the effects of modified Gualou Zhishitang combined with piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium on the immune function and serum levels of inflammatory cytokines in the patients with stroke-associated pneumonia （SAP， syndrome of phlegm-heat accumulation in lung）. MethodEighty SAP patients with the syndrome of phlegm-heat accumulation in lung were randomized into a control group （40 cases） and a study group （40 cases）. The SAP patients in the control group were treated with piperacillin sodium and tazobtam sodium， while those in the study group were treated with modified Gualou Zhishitang on the basis of the treatment in the control group for 2 consecutive weeks. The clinical therapeutic effects， immune function indexes， inflammation indexes， and lung function of SAP patients in the two groups before and after treatment were determined and compared. ResultAfter treatment， the scores of lesion， pulmonary rales， cough， fever， phlegm color， and constipation in both groups decreased （P<0.05）. After treatment， the ratio of forced expiratory volume in the first second to forced expiratory volume （FEV1/FVC） and forced expiratory volume in the first second as percentage of predicted value（FEV1%） in both groups improved （P<0.05）， and the study group outperformed the control group （P<0.05）. The treatment decreased the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio （NLR） in the two groups （P<0.05）， and the study group had lower NLR than the control group after treatment （P<0.05）. The serum levels of procalcitonin （PCT） and hypersensitive C-reactive protein （hs-CRP） in both groups declined after treatment （P<0.05）， and the declines were more significant in the study group than in the control group （P<0.05）. After treatment， the study group was better than the control group （P<0.05）. The treatment in both groups elevated the levels of CD3+， CD4+， and CD4+/CD8+ in the peripheral blood and lowered the level of CD8+ （P<0.05）， and the changes were more significant in the study group than in the control group （P<0.05）. The total response rate of the study group was 95.00% （38/40）， which was higher than that （80.00%， 32/40） of the control group （χ2=4.114，P<0.05）. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups. ConclusionModified Gualhou Zhishitang combined with piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium demonstrates a significant therapeutic effect on the SAP patients with the syndrome of phlegm-heat accumulation in lung. This therapy can mitigate the clinical symptoms， improve the lung function， lower the serum levels of inflammatory cytokines， and improve the immune capacity， with high safety.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effect of the lactitol powder combined with piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium in patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), and the influence on the body microenvironment.Methods:The clinical data of 135 patients with SBP from January 2017 to December 2019 in Huxi Hospital Affiliated Jining Medical College were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 68 patients were treated with lactitol powder combined with piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium (observation group), 67 patients were treated with piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium (control group). The curative effect was compared between 2 groups. The recovery time of clinical symptoms and signs (disappearance time of abdominal pain, disappearance time of abdominal distension, disappearance time of abdominal tenderness, recovery time of body temperature and recovery time of ascites white blood cell), liver function indexes (alanine aminotransferase, ALT; total bilirubin; albumin; aspartate aminotransferase, AST), microcirculation indexes (haptoglobin; procalcitonin; interleukin-6, IL-6; neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, NGAL), intestinal mucosal permeability indexes (endotoxin, blood ammonia, diamine oxidase) and adverse reactions (diarrhea, nausea and skin itching) were recorded.Results:The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group: 95.59% (65/68) vs. 82.09% (55/67), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The disappearance time of abdominal pain, disappearance time of abdominal distension, disappearance time of abdominal tenderness, recovery time of body temperature and recovery time of ascites white blood cell in observation group were significantly shorter than those in control group: (6.15±1.34) d vs. (8.26±1.19) d, (5.34±1.29) d vs. (7.18±1.35) d, (7.59±1.65) d vs. (9.86±1.80) d, (5.28±1.20) d vs. (6.39±1.12) d and (10.87±2.25) d vs. (12.18±1.67) d, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The ALT, total bilirubin, AST, haptoglobin, procalcitonin, IL-6, NGAL, endotoxin, blood ammonia and diamine oxidase 1 and 2 weeks after treatment in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); there was no statistical difference in albumin between 2 groups ( P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in incidence of adverse reactions between2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The lactitol powder combined with piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium for SBP patients can more significantly improve the liver function and intestinal mucosal permeability, and promote the body microenvironment and the recovery of symptoms.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the timely and accurate judgment of drug fever induced by Piperacillin sodi-um and tazobactam sodium for injection and rational drug use in the clinic. METHODS:The medication,clinical manifestations, laboratory examination results and the physician treatment of 30 inpatients with drug fever induced by Piperacillin sodium and tazo-bactam sodium for injection from Sept. 2013 to Sept. 2014 were analyzed retrospectively and statistically. RESULTS:Most of the drug fever induced by Piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium for injection occurred in continuous 7 to 14 d medication,and the cumulative dosages were between 1.3 to 2.7 g/kg;73.3% of the 30 patients had fever during the intravenous drip,with body temperature mainly≥38.5 ℃;the elevation of eosinophil and slightly increase of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood cell sedimentation rate (ESR) could be used as observation indexes of drug fever,but the leucocyte reduce could’t be suitable;the body temperature dropped to normal within 24 to 48 hours after stopped using it. CONCLUSIONS:The drug fever induced by Piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium for injection has no correlation with the patients’gender or age,and no special diagnos-tic criteria. But it has certain correlation with duration of medication,cumulative days and dosages and it can be used as reference of judgment with the combination of hematological examination index. Clinicians should improve the understanding and attention about drug fever to stop using suspicious drug in time.
