ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of diamine oxidase(DAO) and endotoxin(ET) during the treatment of systemic inflammatory response syndrome with human growth hormone and the relationship between human growth hormone and intestinal mucosal barrier injury. MethodsOne hundred and fortysix patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome were randomly divided into operative group and nonoperative group, which were again randomly divided into the study group and control group.Plasma concentration of DAO and ET were determined before the treatment and 1 week after the treatment.ResultsPlasma concentration of DAO and ET in study group decreased after treatment with significant difference (P＜0.05，P＜0.01).ConclusionHuman growth hormone can protect intestinal mucosa barrier.
【Abstract】ObjectiveThere are two main functions of gastrointestinal tract, digestion and absorption, and barrier function. The latter has an important defensive effect, which keeps the body away from the invading and damaging of bacteria and endotoxin. It maintains the systemic homeostasis. Intestinal dysfunction would happen when body suffers from diseases or harmful stimulations. The more serious intestinal disorders would harm the intestinal protective mechanism, or intestinal barrier function, and bacterial/endotoxin translocation, of intestinal failure (IF) would ensue. This article provides a critical review of the evidence indicating that an increase in bacterial translocation is associated with sepsis, and even the multiple organ failure syndrome in critically ill patients. The intransit microorganisms play an essential role in the homeostasis of local and systemic immunity. MethodsAll studies published from 2000 to June 2005 about intestinal permeability, bacterial translocation, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome were located by search of PubMed. ResultsClinical and experimental studies investigating the correlation between bacterial translocation and systemic inflammatory response syndrome, associated with the damage of the gut barrier function . To keep the mucosal barrier function intact is one of the main issues in the prevention of bacterial translocation. This could be achieved by the adequate delivery of oxygen and nutrient supplementation to the gut. Enteral nutrition, probiotic can be a good choice. ConclusionWith a better understanding of the bacteriahost interactions in health and the alterations induced by critical illness, new therapies that improve the environment of both may lead to better recovery rates in intensive care unit patients.
Objective To assess the effect and safety of clinical nutritional supplementation with different patterns for treating systematic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified from MEDLINE (1996 to Nov. 2004), EMBASE (1984 to Nov. 2002), Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (Issue 4, 2004), Chinese Cochrane Centre Database (Issue 4, 2004), CBMdisc (1978 to Nov. 2004). We handsearched related published and unpublished data and their references. All RCTs of nutritional interventions for SIRS were included. Data were extracted and evaluated by two reviewers independently with designed extraction form. RevMan 4.2.7 software was used for data analysis. Results Six RCTs involving 353 patients were included. All the results of meta-analysis were listed as the following: ① Mortality: compared with routine nutrition, one study showed that glutamine had a statistical difference with RR 0.67 and 95%CI 0.31 to 1.32. Compared with no treatment, one study showed selenium had a statistical difference with RR 1.19, 95%CI 0.59 to 2.41. ② Compared with routine nutrition, one study showed that glutamine had a statistical difference on reducing the ratio of nasocomial infection of SIRS with RR 0.5, 95%CI 0.27 to 0.91, but had no statistical difference on reducing the ratio of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome with RR 1.53, 95%CI 0.64 to 3.66. ③ Improvement of the critical condition of SIRS: compared with routine nutrition, one study showed that glutamine had a statistical differences with WMD 4.0, 95%CI 2.36 to 5.64; compared with high calorie intake, two studies showed low calorie intake had a statistical difference with WMD 4.9, 95%CI 1.76 to 8.04. ④ Reduction of the complication of hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia: compared with high calorie intake, one study showed low calorie intake had statistical difference with WMD －0.70, 95%CI －1.20 to －0.20 and WMD －1.80, 95% CI －2.42 to －1.16 respectively and all P≤0.01. ⑤ Increasing of the plasma IgG concentration: compared with routine nutrition, two studies showed that glutamine had a statistical difference with WMD 4.20, 95% CI 2.23 to 6.16. ⑥ Increasing of the nitrogen balance, intestinal permeability, the level of plasma concentration of anlbumin, prealbumin and TRF: compared with control interventions, glutamine, low calorie intake, selenium supplementation and fructose-glucose-xylitol mixture showed no statistical difference. Conclusions Glutamine, low calorie intake, selenium supplementation, FGX mixture may decrease the complication of infection or metabolism and be better than the controlled interventions; but there is no benefit on reducing the rate of death result from SIRS compared with controlled interventions. The evidence of most RCTs with poor quality is too weak to draw a conclusion. More high quality trials are required.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Salvia Miltiorrhiza (SM) and Shengmai injection （SI） in treating systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and their mechanism. Methods The animal model of SIRS was established by injectinglipopolysaccharide(LPS, 1 mg/kg)intraperitoneally. Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group, SM group, SI group and combined treatment group (SM+SI group), which were treated with normal saline（5 ml/kg） plus LPS（1 mg/kg）, SM（5 ml/kg）plus LPSKG4（1 mg/kg）, SI（5 ml/kg）plus LPS（1 mg/kg）, SM（2.5 ml/kg） plus SI（2.5 ml/kg） and LPS（1 mg/kg） respectively. Six rats of each group were sacrificed for sample collection of blood, liver, lung and kidney 8 hours after LPS injection. Blood routine, serum TNF-α and IL-6 were measured. Specimen of organs were fixed in formalin and sent for routine pathological examination. The survival of other 4 rats of each group were observed untill 48 hours after LPS injection. SPSS 10.0 was used in statistical analysis. Results Two rats in control group died 13 hours and 22 hours after LPS injection respectively, the remaining 2 rats in this group and the rats in other 3 groups survived 48 hours after LPS injection. The white blood cell count of control group was significantly higher than that of other groups. The serum TNF-α and IL-6 of control group were significantly more than those of other groups. Pathological damages were found in all groups, and the most severe ones were in control group. SM and SI could decrease the level of serum TNF-α and IL-6 in the process of LPS-stimulated SIRS, down-regulate the severe inflammatory response, attenuate organ damages of the liver, lung and kidney, and increase forty-eihgt-hour survival rate obviously. Conclusion The experiment provides a theoretical base for clinical use of SM and SI in treatment of SIRS.
Radiofrequency ablation for hepatic hemangioma is safe and effective, and can obtain the same curative effect as traditional surgical resection. For hepatic hemangiomas with large volume, abundant arterial blood supply and long ablation time, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) often occurs after radiofrequency ablation, which can lead to injury or dysfunction of important organs. This paper systematically summarizes the mechanism, prevention and treatment of SIRS after radiofrequency ablation of hepatic hemangioma, so as to provide reference for improving the safety of radiofrequency ablation of hepatic hemangioma.
Objective To construct and compare logistic regression and decision tree models for predicting systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD) after interventional surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of TBAD patients at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from 2020 to 2024. The patients were divided into a SIRS group and a non SIRS group based on whether SIRS occurred within 24 hours after surgery. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of SIRS occurrence in TBAD intervention patients, and a decision tree model was constructed using SPSS Modeler to compare the predictive performance of the two models. Results A total of 742 patients with TBAD were included, including 579 males and 163 females, aged between 27 and 97 (58.85±10.79) years. Within 24 hours after intervention, a total of 506 patients developed SIRS, with an incidence rate of 68.19%. Logistic regression analysis showed that the extensive involvement of the dissection, the surgical time≥ 2 hours, PET coated stents implanted, serum creatinine, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, monocyte count (MONO), neutrophil count levels elevated, estimated glomerular filtration rate and decreased albumin levels were independent risk factors for SIRS (P<0.05). The decision tree model selected a total of 10 explanatory variables and 6 layers with 37 nodes, among which MONO was the most important predictor. The area under the decision tree model curve was 0.829 [95% CI (0.800, 0.856)], which was better than the logistic regression model's 0.690 [95% CI (0.655, 0.723)], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion The incidence of SIRS after TBAD intervention is high, and the decision tree model has better predictive performance than logistic regression. It can identify high-risk patients with higher accuracy and provide a practical tool for early clinical intervention.
ObjectiveTo study the clinical value of procalcitonin (PCT), WBC count, and C-reactive protein (CRP) in diagnosis of common bile duct stones with acute bile duct infection and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).MethodsA total of 80 patients with bile duct stones were retrospectively analyzed, which were divided into two groups, SIRS group (n=40) and non-SIRS group (n=40). The numerical value of PCT, WBC count, and CRP were detected on 1, 4, and 7 day after admission, and calculated the score of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) on 1 day after admission. Then analyzed the clinical value of PCT, WBC count, and CRP in diagnosis of common bile duct stones with acute bile duct infection and SIRS.ResultsEach area under the ROC curve of PCT, CRP, and WBC count were 0.81, 0.78, and 0.72, respectively, with significant difference (P<0.05). The PCT, CRP, and WBC count had a certain accuracy in diagnosis of common bile duct stones with acute bile duct infection and SIRS. The positive-relationship between PCT, CRP, WBC count and APACHE Ⅱ score was significant (r=0.91, P<0.01; r=0.88, P<0.01; r=0.69, P<0.01).ConclusionTo detect the numerical value of PCT, WBC count, and CRP had significant clinical value in diagnosis of common bile duct stones with acute bile duct infection and SIRS.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the predictive value of critical illness scores for hospital mortality of severe respiratory diseases in respiratory intensive care unit (ICU).MethodsThe clinical data of the patients who needed intensive care and primary diagnosed with respiratory diseases from June, 2001 to Octomber, 2012 were extracted from MIMIC-Ⅲ database. The Acute Physiology Score (APS) Ⅲ, Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) Ⅱ, Oxford Acute Severity of Illness Score (OASIS), Logistic Organ Dysfunction System (LODS), Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) were calculated according to the requirements of each scoring system. ICU mortality was set up as primary outcome and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive performances by comparing the areas under ROC curve (AUC). According to whether they received invasive mechanical ventilation during ICU, the patients were divided into two groups (group A: without invasive mechanical ventilation group; group B: with invasive mechanical ventilation group). The AUCs of six scoring systems were calculated for groups A and B, and the ROC curves were compared independently.ResultsA total of 2988 patients were recruited, male accounted for 49.4%, median age was 67 (55, 79), and ICU mortality was 13.2%. The AUCs of SAPSⅡ, LODS, APSⅢ, OASIS, SOFA and SIRS were 0.73 (0.70, 0.75), 0.71 (0.68, 0.73), 0.69 (0.67, 0.72), 0.69 (0.67, 0.72), 0.67 (0.64, 0.70) and 0.58 (0.56, 0.62). Subgroup analysis showed that in group A, the AUCs of OASIS, SAPSⅡ, LODS, APSⅢ, SOFA and SIRS were 0.81 (0.76, 0.85), 0.80 (0.75, 0.85), 0.77 (0.72, 0.83), 0.75 (0.70, 0.80), 0.73 (0.68, 0.78) and 0.63 (0.56, 0.69) in the prediction of ICU mortality; in group B, the AUCs of SAPSⅡ, APSⅢ, LODS, SOFA, OASIS and SIRS were 0.68 (0.64, 0.71), 0.67 (0.63, 0.70), 0.65 (0.62, 0.69), 0.62 (0.59, 0.66), 0.62 (0.58, 0.65) and 0.57 (0.54, 0.61) in the prediction of ICU mortality. The results of independent ROC curve showed that the AUC differences between groups A and B were statistically significant in terms of OASIS, SAPSⅡ, LODS, APSⅢ and SOFA, but there were no significant differences in SIRS.ConclusionsThe predictive values of six critical illness scores for ICU mortality in respiratory intensive care are low. Lack of ability to predict ICU mortality of patients with invasive mechanical ventilation should hold primary responsibility.
Objective To investigate the percentage of CD4+CD25+ Treg in peripheral blood of patients with severe multiple trauma and systemic inflammatory response syndrome（SIRS） and its effects on cellular immunity and secondary infection.Metheds Peripheral blood of 23 patients with severe multiple trauma was collected in 24 h after SIRS was diagnosed，and flow cytometry was used to determine the percentage of CD4+CD25+ Treg and CD4/CD8 ratio.Simultaneously，in order to explore the cell proliferation，silver staining was used to determine Ag-NORs of leukomonocyte in peripheral blood represented by IS%.In order to investigate the infection in patients，sputum and secretion sample were collected for bacteriological examination on 1 and 5 day after SIRS was established.Forty healthy volunteers were enrolled as control.Results Compared with the control，the percentage of CD4+CD25+ Treg was significant higher[（14.21±3.43）% vs（9.53±3.22），Plt;0.01] and the ratio of CD4/CD8 and IS% were significant lower in patients with severe multiple trauma[（5.94±0.66）% vs（6.74±0.95）%，（1.22±0.25）% vs（1.72±0.36）%，respectively，both Plt;0.01].In those patients（n=14） who developed secondary infection，Treg% was significant higher [（18.69±4.21）% vs（12.58±2.49）%，Plt;0.01]，while IS% and CD4/CD8 were significant lower [（5.79±0.68）% vs（6.15±0.57）%，（1.15±0.25）% vs（1.39±0.25）%，both Plt;0.01].compared to the patients without secondary infection Conlusion CD4+CD25+ Treg is valuable to estimate the cellular immunity and predict secondary infection in patients with severe multiple trauma.
