RESUMO
Objective:To explore the demand and mode of palliative care for emergency dying patients by analyzing the case data of emergency death and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.Methods:The data of 776 cases of emergency clinical death and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from 2017 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 687 patients were included with (70.38 ± 16.57) years old, and 49.8% (342/687) of them were 75 years old and above; among them, 36.0% (247/687) patients or their families chose not to give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DNR) in the last stage of their lives,and 63.2%(156/247) of DNR patients were 75 years old and above. The top four etiology of DNR were cerebral hemorrhage, respiratory failure, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and out of hospital cardiac and respiratory arrest.After successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 37.5% (45/120) of the patients' family members chose to give up treatment again. The median stay time of DNR patients in the emergency room was 738.7 minutes.Conclusions:The patients who choosed DNR were mainly 75 years old and above, with cerebral hemorrhage, respiratory failure, multiple organ failure and cardiac and respiratory arrest. The detention of these patients in the emergency room increases the congestion of the emergency room, and at the same time, they can not get a peaceful palliative care environment. It is suggested that emergency medical staff should strengthen the awareness and improve the ability of palliative care. A relative independent area and corresponding soothing palliative treatment and nursing should be given to the DNR patients.
RESUMO
AIM: To investigate the regulatory function of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on T helper 17 cells (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Treg) in peripheral blood of severe asthmatic children . METHODS:MSCs were isolated , cultured and identified in vitro.MSCs digested with mitomycin were cocultured with T lymphocytes (TLC) at different ratios (1∶1, 1∶2, 1∶10 and 1∶20) from severe asthmatic children for 72 h.The prolifera-tion of TLC was measured by CCK-8 method.In the coculture system of the 1∶2 ratio and the single TLC system , the super-natant levels of interleukin-17 (IL-17) and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) were measured by ELISA.The mRNA expression of retinoic acid-related orphan nuclear receptor C (RORC) and forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) in TLC was de-tected by qRT-PCR.RESULTS:After cocultured with MSCs , the proliferation of TLC decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner (P0.05).CONCLUSION: MSCs suppresses Th17 polarization of naive peripheral blood CD 4 +T cells and matures Th17 cells secreting IL-17, which may ef-fectively revise Th17/Treg imbalance of asthma .
