Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the effect of anticoagulant therapy with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) on coagulation and inflammation markers in sepsis patients.Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. Sixty sepsis patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Zhengzhou University People's Hospital from March 2012 to May 2014 were divided into control group and observation group, with 30 cases in each group. The observations were begun as soon as the diagnosis of sepsis was established, and the observation time was 7 days. All sepsis patients were treated according to the 2008 international sepsis treatment guidelines. Every patient in the observation group was subcutaneously injected with LMWH 0.6 mL on the first day of ICU admission, twice a day for 7 days. The blood from peripheral vein was collected at 1, 3, 5, 7 days of treatment, and CD62p, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), D-dimmer was determined by immunoturbidimetry, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score was recorded, and incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) was also evaluated.Results There were no significant differences in values of all parameters, including CD62p, D-dimmer, IL-6, TNF-α, and APACHEⅡ score at 1 day of treatment. The values of all parameters in observation group were gradually decreased. CD62p at 3 days of treatment and D-dimmer, IL-6, TNF-α, and APACHEⅡ score at 5 days of treatment were significantly lower than those at 1 day of treatment. The values in the control group were decreased at first and then increased, as D-dimmer, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly higher on the 5th day than those at 1 day of treatment. Compared with control group, CD62p, D-dimmer, IL-6, TNF-α and APACHEⅡ score on the 7th day of treatment were significantly lowered in observation group [CD62 (μg/L): 22.64±2.88 vs. 31.52±2.81, D-dimmer (g/L): 1.32±0.46 vs. 4.79±0.82, IL-6 (ng/L): 5.84±1.87 vs. 49.64±3.12, TNF-α (ng/L): 21.04±3.15 vs. 130.58±6.26, APACHEⅡ score: 9.71±2.02 vs. 14.17±2.38, allP< 0.05]. Correlation analysis showed that in observation group, CD62p, D-dimmer, IL-6, and TNF-α were positively correlated with APACHEⅡ score (r value was 0.907, 0.868, 0.880, 0.693, respectively, all P=0.000). The incidence of MODS in observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [26.7% (8/30) vs. 46.7% (14/30),χ2=3.943,P= 0.028].Conclusions LMWH, which was given early in sepsis, can significantly down-regulate the expression of CD62p, D-dimmer, IL-6 and TNF-α, and reduce the incidence of MODS. Some indicators regarding coagulation and inflammation can be used as supplementary indicators to severity scores, and it may be able to improve the accuracy of scoring systems for sepsis.
