Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of Xuebijing injection on expression of myeloid cell triggering receptor-1(TREM-1)and the plasma levels of soluble TREM-1(sTREM-1),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6(IL-6)in patients with severe sepsis. Methods Twenty patients with severe sepsis admitted into Critical Care Medicine Department,Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University were given comprehensive treatments according to the guidelines for management of severe sepsis and septic shock(2004),and they were divided into Xuebijing group and control group(each 20 cases). The Xuebijing injection group was given Xuebijing injection 50 mL,3 times daily for 5-7 days followed by regular treatments. The changes in blood TREM-1 mRNA expression and plasma concentrations of sTREM-1,TNF-α,and IL-6 were detected before and after treatments on the 3rd and 5th day,and the above indexes were compared between the two groups. Results Before treatments,there were no significant differences in TREM-1 mRNA expression and levels of sTREM-1,TNF-α,IL-6 between two groups (all P>0.05). The TREM-1 expression and plasma concentrations of sTREM-1,TNF-α,and IL-6 of two groups were declined after treatments compared to their baselines,the degree of decline being more prominent in Xuebijing group〔TREM-1 mRNA 3 days:1.065±0.277 vs. 1.217±0.301,t=-3.267,P=0.047;5 days:0.912±0.239 vs. 1.071±0.254,t=-5.072,P=0.032;sTREM-1(ng/L):146.93±13.76 vs. 176.22±19.46,t=-5.442,P=0.033;TNF-α(ng/L):77.51±11.28 vs. 107.72±13.17,t=-4.355,P=0.032;IL-6(ng/L):288.35±14.59 vs. 323.89± 24.51, t=-3.941,P=0.028〕. Conclusion Early implication of Xuebijing injection is of great significance in patients with severe sepsis,it may reduce the expression level of TREM-1 and serum levels of downstream inflammatory mediators,that is beneficial to the control of inflammatory responses and improvement of systemic inflammatory response syndrome in such patients.
