RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical values of heparinase-modified thromboelastography(hmTEG)in heparin monitoring during continuous renal replacement therapy.Methods A total of 97 cases who were undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)in the intensive care unit of the 94th People's Liberation Army Hospital from Jan 2014 to Jun 2019 were enrolled in this stud-y.The patients were divided into TEG group and APTT group according to different means of heparin monitoring during continuous renal replacement therapy.In total,278 hemofilters were used in all the blood purification therapies.Complication of bleeding,CRRT time,total heparin dose and SOFA(sequential organ failure assessment)score of the patients were compared between the TEG and APTT groups.The filter life span and survival time in hospital were also compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis.Rusults Compared with APTT group,the total heparin dose in TEG group were significantly higher(P＜0.05).The CRRT time of patients and the average filter life span in TEG group were significantly longer than those of APTT group(P＜0.05).Compared to APTT group,the 28-day SOFA in TEG group was significantly lower(P＜0.05).Survival analysis showed that the 28-day risk of death in the patients of APTT group was 2.01 times higher than that in TEG group(P＜0.05).The 72-hour filter life of TEG group was significantly longer than that of APTT group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The use of hmTEG for monitoring heparin in blood purification should be superior in terms of safety and efficacy with longer filter life span and higher survival rate of patients.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the value of thromboelastography ( TEG) in evaluating the prognosis of polytrauma patients. Methods A retrospective case control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 155 polytrauma patients admitted to 94th Hospital of People's Liberation Army from September 2015 to December 2017. There were 118 males and 37 females, aged 18-88 years [(49. 0 ± 1. 3)years]. Injury severity score (ISS) was (26. 4 ± 11. 0)points. According to the prognosis of patients 90 days after injury, the patients were divided into survival group ( 143 patients ) and death group (12 patients). The ISS on admission, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ), Glasgow coma score ( GCS ) , systolic blood pressure ( SBP ) , respiratory rate ( RR ) and outcome of 90 days after injury were collected. Red blood cells( RBC) , hemoglobin( Hb) , plasma prothrombin time ( PT) , activated partial thromboplastin time ( APTT) , fibrinogen ( FIB) , international normalized ratio ( INR) , thrombin time ( TT) , platelet count ( PLT) and TEG-related indicators within 2 hours after ICU admission were collected. TEG-related indicators including TCG clotting reaction time ( R ) , clot formation rate (K), clot formation kinetics (α angle), maximum amplitude (MA), coagulation index (CI), blood clotting strength (G), elasticity constant (E) and clot lysis time (CLT) were collected within 2 hours after admission to ICU. The changes of TEG-related indicators were compared between the two groups, and logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve analysis were performed. Results Compared with the survival group, ISS and APACHE II scores in the death group were significantly higher, while GCS, SBP, RR, RBC and Hb were significantly lower (P<0. 05). Compared with the survival group, death group showed significantly prolonged PT [(21. 1 ± 9. 1) s vs. (16. 5 ± 4. 3)s] as well as reduced FIB [(1. 7 ± 1. 5)g/L vs. (2. 7 ± 1. 7)g/L] (P<0. 05). Compared with the survival group, the K value in the death group was significantly prolonged [5. 2(1. 8,8. 0)min vs. 2. 9(2. 1,4. 2)min] (P<0. 05). Compared with the survival group, death group showed significant decrease in G value (3762. 4 ± 3346. 7 vs. 6366. 5 ± 3886. 1), E value (75. 3 ± 67. 0 vs. 127. 3 ± 77.7),αangle[(38.4±19.7)°vs. (49.4±16.6)°],MA[(37.4±17.5)mmvs.(52.0±13.3)mm], CI [-6. 8(-9. 5, 1. 5) vs. -2. 9 ( -5. 9, -0. 7)] and CLT [39. 2 (32. 5, 46. 9) min vs. 46. 4 (32. 7, 60.8) min] (P<0. 05). There were no significant differences in APTT, TT, INR, PLT and R between the two groups (P>0. 05). Logistic regression analysis showed that MA was significantly associated with the prognosis of polytrauma patients (OR=1. 15, 95％ CI 1. 04-1. 28, P<0. 05). The area under the ROC curve of MA was 0. 756 (P <0. 05). When the MA threshold was 43. 1 mm, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of predicted survival were 77. 5％, 76. 9％, 76. 1％ and 97. 3％, respectively. Conclusion TEG index MA can determine the prognosis of polytrauma patients, and the mortality rate is significantly increased at MA<43. 1 mm.
RESUMO
Objective Secretion and aggregation dysfunction of platelets are closely related with uncontrollable septic inflammation and abnormal blood coagulation.This study was to investigate the effect of emodin on platelet aggregation (PA) and secretion in mice with late sepsis.Methods We randomly divided 111 healthy SPF male C57BL/6 mice into a sham operation (SO) group, a cecal ligation (CL) group, and an emodin (Em) group and treated those of the Em group intragastrically with emodin after cecal ligation.At 72 hours after operation, we recorded the survival rate of the mice, measured the platelet count and the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and creatinine (Cr), and detected the PA rate by aggregometry, the P-selectin level by flow cytometry, the serum 5-HT concentration by ELISA, and the expressions of Rab27 mRNA and protein by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively.Results At 72 hours after cecal ligation, the survival rates in the SO, CL and Em groups were 100%, 60% and 66.7%, respectively.The platelet count was significantly decreased in the CL group as compared with that in the SO group ([461.00±64.77] vs [775.00±65.89]×109/L, P0.05).The Rab27b protein expression was markedly lower in the CL and Em groups than in the SO group (0.093±0.015 and 0.140±0.026 vs 10.380±0.036, P0.05).Conclusion Emodin can improve platelet count and aggregation, down-regulate the expression of P-selectin, protect the liver and kidney function, and reduce mortality from late sepsis.
