Abstract:
Objective:To compare the effects of high-volume hemofiltration (HVHF) and continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) on cardiopulmonary functions, lung fluid balance, lung damage and cytokine expression in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury piglet model, and to further evaluate the value of high-volume hemofiltration in acute lung injury.
Method:Eighteen piglets were randomly divided into the control group (6 piglets), the CVVH group (6 piglets) and the HVHF group (6 piglets). By general anesthesia, the intravenous infusion of 0.15 mg/kg endotoxin were received in all the animals and induced acute lung injury.High-volume hemofiltration and continuous veno-venous hemofiltration were addressed to different groups.Subsequently, hemodynamic parameters (heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure, pulse contour cardiac index, systemic venous resistance index and extravascular lung water index) as well as gas exchange and lung mechanics parameters (respiratory rate, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen, dynamic lung compliance and airway resistance) were intermittently measured.Lung tissues were collected for further analysis (the lung wet-to-dry weight ratio, lung injury scoring). The plasma protein levels of cytokines (interleukin(IL) -6, 10 and tumor necrosis factors alpha(TNF-α)) were also assessed.Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni post-test were conducted to identify significant differences among the control, CVVH and HVHF group.
Result:Compared with CVVH, HVHF had the capacity to improve significantly the index of Cdyn(HVHF (2.3±0.5) vs. CVVH (1.5±0.5) ml/(cmH2O·kg), 1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa, P<0.05)and Rrs(HVHF (22.0±1.9) vs.CVVH (29.5±1.5) cmH2O/(L·s), P<0.05)at the time of 6 h, and decreased lung water accumulation(index of EVLWI in HVHF (22.7±2.1) vs.CVVH (39.5±2.6) ml/m2, P<0.01) at the time of 6 h, and the plasma concentration of cytokines(IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α)in the HVHF group had an obvious decline compared with those in the CVVH group at the time of 6 h( (200±55) vs. (280±61), (74±17) vs. (102±21), (54±13) vs. (73±21) pg/ml, all P<0.05). The lung injury scoring of HVHF group was significantly lower than those of CVVH group((7.8±1.9) vs. (11.3±2.2) scores, P<0.05). Although the plasma concentration of cytokines(IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α) in the CVVH group were lower than those in the control group at the time of 6 h((374±55), (137±25), (98±17) pg/ml, all P<0.05), the indexes of respiratory function were not improved (all P<0.05).
Conclusion:Different doses hemofiltration can reduce plasma inflammatory mediators indicators in piglets.Early high volume hemofiltration can improve respiratory function of piglets with endotoxin-induced acute lung injury and reduce lung injury pathological score.
