Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of Ulinastatin (UTI) on intestinal barrier function of elderly patients with sepsis in order to explore an optimized program of early treatment for such patients instituting a guidelines for clinical practice.Methods All selected patients randomly (ramdom number) divided into conventional treatment group (n =34) and UTI treatment group (n =34).Peripheral venous blood samples of elderly patients with sepsis were routinely taken at days 0,2,3,7 (D0,D2,D3,D7) after admission for detecting the changes of ptasma values of Intestinal fatty acid binding protein (IFABP),Diamine oxidase (DAO),and D-lactate (D-Lac).While patients' APACHE Ⅱscores,length of ICU stay and 28 d mortality also were recorded at the same time.Results At admission,there were no significant differences in patients' APACHE Ⅱscores,plasma values of IFABP,DAO and D-Lac between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).During the course of treatment,the patients' APACHE Ⅱscores,plasma values of IFABP,DAO and D-Lac were declining in both groups,while those declinations in UTI group showed significantly more prominent.Compared with conventional therapy group,IFABP level was significandy lower in UTI group (P ＜ 0.05),and the plasma values of DAO and D-Lac were significantly lower at D2 and D3 in UTI group (P ＜ 0.05),but not at D7 (P ＞ 0.05).The plasma levels of IFABP,DAO and D-Lac were positively associated with APACHE Ⅱscores,but not with length of ICU-stay (P ＞0.05).After treatment,28d mortality did not differ significantly between the two groups (P ＞0.05).Conclusions UTI has a protective effect on intestinal barrier function in elderly patients with sepsis.UTI can improve the prognosis of elderly patients with sepsis and reduce ICU stay,while has no significant effect on reducing 28 d mortality.
