Clinical analysis of 34 cases with sepsis and systemic capillary leak syndrome / 中华外科杂志

Objective@#To study the clinical characteristics of sepsis with systemic capillary leak syndrome(SCLS) and to evaluate the therapeutic effect and clinical significance of fluid therapy adjusted timely in these patients.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 34 patients with sepsis and SCLS in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery ICU of General Hospital of People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from July 2014 to January 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 21 males and 13 females, aged from 21 to 74 years, with an average age of 56.3 years.Primary disease as follows: 18 cases with severe acute pancreatitis, 7 postoperative cases of subtotal hepatectomy, 5 postoperative cases of pancreatoduodenectomy, 4 postoperative cases of cholelithiasis.These patients were divided into survival group and death group according to their 28-day survival status.The clinical data including C-reactive protein(CRP), platelets (PLT), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), the level of arterial blood lactic acid(LAC), oxygenation index(PaO2/FiO2, OI), net fluid balance(NFB) and norepinephrine dosage(NE) were collected and compared between two groups at three different intervals(day 1-3, day 4-6, day 7-9). The measurement data and numeration data were statistically analyzed with t test and χ2 test respectively to explore the inherent characteristics of the disease evolution and its clinical significance.@*Results@#The survival group (n=23)and the death group(n=11)had no significant difference in the characteristics of basic clinical characters.The condition of the survival group and the death group were both in progress in 1-3 days period manifested as increased CRP(t=-0.473, P=0.640) and BNP levels(t=0.140, P=0.895), decreased PLT counts(t=-0.505, P=0.620) in the inflammatory response, decreased LAC(t=-1.008, P=0.320) and OI level (t=-2.379, P=0.020)in tissue perfusion index, and positive fluid balance(NFB: t=0.910, P=0.370), required NE(t=-0.853, P=0.400) to maintain effective perfusion pressure with systemic edema in both groups.There was no significant difference of all these clinical parameters between the two groups.The patients′ condition of the survival group reached a plateau phase, whereas all relative indicators of the death group implied significant aggravation and deterioration of systemic infection(CRP: t=-3.438, P=0.000; PLT: t=1.649, P=0.110; BNP: t=-10.612, P=0.000), tissue perfusion (LAC: t=-11.305, P=0.000; OI: t=2.743, P=0.010)and tissue edema NFB(t=-4.257, P=0.000) and NE(t=-7.956, P=0.000) in 4-6 days period.In the last 7-9 days period the patients′ condition of the survival group took a turn for improvement, yet the condition of the death group continued to deteriorate, refractory septic shock developed and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome followed afterwards inevitably(CRP: t=-10.036, P=0.000; PLT: t=6.061, P=0.000; BNP: t=-10.119, P=0.000; LAC: t=-24.466, P=0.000; OI: t=13.443, P=0.010; NFB: t=-8.345, P=0.000; NE: t=-7.121, P=0.000).@*Conclusions@#The condition of patient with sepsis and SCLS would be improved markedly at the critical turning point around 7-9 days period since the effective systemic treatment began.If the infection does not be significantly constrolled and SCLS still remains in a sustained extravasation period in 7-9 days, the prognosis of these patients may be worse and the mortality may be higher than that of the patients mentioned before.

Analysis of the spectrum and resistance of pathogen causing sepsis in patients with severe acute pancreatitis / 中华外科杂志

Objective@#To investigate the characteristics of spectrum and drug resistance of pathogens causing sepsis in patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).@*Methods@#The clinical data of 63 SAP patients with sepsis admitted in Department of Hepatobiliary, People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2014 to December 2015 were retrospectively studied. There were 47 males and 16 females, aged from 22 to 73 years, with an average age of (52±11)years. Samples were collected mainly from: (1)pancreatic and peripancreatic necrosis and abdominal drainage; (2)bile; (3) blood or deep venous catheter; (4) sputum and tracheal catheter and thoracic drainage; (5) urine. Strain identification and drug-resistance test were preformed on positive specimens.@*Results@#Of 244 pathogenic isolates, mainly derived from abdominal cavity(36.0%), blood stream (14.0%), central venous catheter(11.8%), necrotic tissue(9.1%) and sputum(8.1%); 154(63.1%) were gram-negative bacteria, 68 cases(27.9%) were gram-positive bacteria and 22 cases(9.0%) were fungi respectively. The top six common pathogens isolated were E. coli(16.0%), E.faecium and faecalis(15.2%), P.aeruginosa(10.7%), K.pneumonia(9.8%), Acinetobacter baumanni(8.2%), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia(5.3%)respectively. The detection rate of E. coli and K. pneumonia extended-spectrum β-lactamases(ESBL) was 84.6%(33/39) and 70.8%(17/24), the resistance rate to imipeniem was 12.8% and 25.0%, to cefperazone-sulbactam was 28.2% and 29.2%. As to P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter bacillus, the resistance rate to imipeniem was 50.0% and 75.0%, to cefperazone-sulbactam was 42.3% and 70.0%; Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was completely resistant to cefperazone-sulbactam, but sensitive to minocycline, SMZ-TMP with the resistance rate less than 40.0%. Gram-positive bacterium strains mainly included E. faecium(38.2%, 26/68), E.faecalis(16.2%, 11/68) and Staphylococcus(35.3%, 24/68) which maintained high sensitivity to vancomycin, teicoplanin and linezolid, there was only one isolate resistant to vancomycin. Candida were the sole pathogens of fungal infections, sensitive to common antifungal drugs overall.@*Conclusions@#The gram-negative bacteria are the predominant pathogens mainly including ESBL-producing isolates(E.coli and K. pneumonia) and non-fermentation bacteria(P.aeruginosa and Acinetobacter bacillus) causing sepsis in SAP. The infection rate and drug-resistance rate of these two kinds of pathogens are relatively higher.

BACKGROUND:Perioperative treatment of emergency liver transplantation for acute hepatic failure is extremely different from common liver transplantation, due to complex conditions, high risk, several complications, and high mortality. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the experience of emergency liver transplantation for acute hepatic failure during the perioperative period, and to increase the success rate in treatment of acute hepatic failure. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was undertaken on the clinical data of 38 cases undergone emergency liver transplantation for acute hepatic failure. There were 21 male and 17 female, who aged 15-69 years. Among them, 23 cases had hepatitis B virus (including 2 cases with hepatitis B and C virus), 7 cases had Wilsons disease, 3 cases had mushroom poisoning, 2 cases had unknown liver damage, 1 case had Tripterygium wilfordi poisoning, 1 case had decompensation after partial liver resection due to trauma, and 1 case had liver transplantation from corpse. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The survival time of the involve patients was 13-1 740 days, and the median survival time was 634 days. Perioperative survival rate was 76%, 1-year survival rate was 63%, and 2-year survival rate was 58%. During the perioperation nine cases died of brain edema and intracranial hypertension, renal failure, severe pulmonary infection, multiple organ failure, coagulation disorders (intracranial hemorrhage, upper digestive tract hemorrhage), acute respiratory distress syndrome and primary graft non-function. At present, emergency liver transplantation is stil the most effective way for acute liver failure. Hemorrhage, infection and rejection are the leading causes of the death. Each perioperative treatment is of great significance for the success of liver transplantation and long-term survival.
