Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2015;(5):332-337
ObjectiveTo establish a mathematical formula for choosing the manner of replacement fluid infusion in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), so as to provide the basis for improving the treatment effect. Methods A mathematical formula for choosing the manner of replacement fluid infusion with continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) was taken as an example, and it was compared with the result of standard replacement fluid in order to analyze the effect of different manners of infusion.① Comparison parameters: the plasma volume (Vreturn) and some electrolyte concentration (Creturn) in back way of CRRT (if other thing was solute, filter coefficient should be 1.0).② Research objects: the actual replacement fluid (for example, the most complex should be sorted into A and B type) mode (pre or post) was compared with the standard replacement fluid (the A and B in one).③ Based on the formula of standard replacement, four equations in different conditions were derived: pre-dilution and post-dilution mode; same direction and same ratio; same direction and different ratio; different direction and same ratio; different direction and different ratio.Results The calculated results of Vreturn (except hematocrit) and Creturn were same to the standard only following the rule of same direction and ratio for A and B no matter pre-dilution mode or post-dilution mode, and it was different from the standard in others. In pre-dilution mode and post-dilution mode, it showed:① A and B in same direction and different ratio: Vreturn and Creturn were different from the standard for the alterative ratio of B.② A and B in different direction and same ratio: Vreturn was same to the standard, but Creturn was different from the standard for the completely different and more complex computational formula.③ A and B in different direction and different ratio: both Vreturn and Creturn were different from the standard. The different Vreturn was due to the different ratio of B. The different Creturn was caused by different ratio of B and the completely different computational formula.Conclusions① For parts of replacement fluid which must be separated ( for example, bicarbonate formula ), the result is same to the standard, and is predicted and mastered only following the rule of same direction and ratio. Otherwise, we need to calculate the two parameters over and over again. The result will run out of our judgment. The wrongness of losing water and electrolyte disorders maybe come out.② Accordingly,the formula could be used to analyze the same case like the separated replacement infusion, for example, a large number of citrates as regional anticoagulation were infused only in the front of filter, while the replacement fluid can be done in varied forms.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of bundle treatment on patients with moderate or severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods A multicenter prospective observational study comparing the result of historical treatment strategy and bundle treatment was conducted. According to the new Berlin standard of definition, 73 patients with moderate or severe ARDS due to pulmonary factors, age from 18 to 65 years, admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Taian Central Hospital and Handan Central Hospital were enrolled. Thirty-three patients admitted during September 2012 to May 2014 (prospective observation period) were enrolled as the bundle treatment group. Forty patients with matched disease history admitted from January 2010 to August 2012 were enrolled as the control group. The patients in bundle treatment group received bundle treatment based on the treatment strategy of primary diseases. Bundle treatment included restrictive fluid management, respiratory support, high-dose ambroxol combined with Xuebijing injection, prevention of ventilation associated pneumonia (VAP), individualized sedation plan, installation of continuous blood purification treatment for critical patients. A special team was organized to ensure the successful implementation of all bundle measures. The acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score, oxygenation index, duration of mechanical ventilation, the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, incidence of VAP, and 28-day mortality 5 days after treatment were compared between two groups.Results There were no significant differences in basic characteristics of patients between the two groups, including gender, age, etiology, severity, etc. (allP> 0.05) with comparability. Compared with the control group, there was no significant difference in APACHEⅡ score 5 days after treatment in bundle treatment group (15.1±2.8 vs. 16.2±3.0,t = 1.618,P = 0.110). Compared with control group, oxygenation index in bundle treatment group was significantly improved [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 135.4±34.5 vs. 117.1±34.2,t = -2.273,P = 0.026), the duration of mechanical ventilation was obviously reduced (days: 8.70±2.50 vs. 10.10±2.67,t = 2.308,P = 0.024), incidence of VAP was significantly lower [18.2% (6/33) vs. 32.5% (13/40),χ2 = 5.027,P = 0.025], and 28-day mortality rate was obviously lowered [24.2% (8/33) vs. 37.5% (15/40),χ2 = 4.372,P = 0.037], the length of ICU stay shown no statistical difference (days:10.40±1.94 vs. 11.30±2.34,t = 1.620,P = 0.110).Conclusion Implementation of bundle treatment can significantly shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation, reduce the incidence of VAP, and improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective To compare the growth property of the stem cells taken from different brain regions at the same developmental stage. Methods Mice embryos at the same development stage were isolated under sterile conditions, cortex, striatum, diencephalon, mid-hind brain and spinal cord were collected and pooled separately, after single-cell suspension obtained, different regions' cell suspensions were seeded in FGF supplemented serum-free culture medium. Followed the neural stem cell clone(neurospheres) fromation, immuno-cytochemistry method was utilized to identify the cell characteristics, all these clones were passaged under same conditions, clone formation and cell migration were observed under phase-contrast microscope. Results In the FGF added serum-free medium, neural cells experienced a large scale death within 48h after being seeded, then few single cells began to proliferate and formed the floating cell clones in the medium. These clones (neurospheres) could form new clones when seeded as single cell suspension. If these clones were seeded on poly-orithine, they could differentiate into neurons and glia cells. Compare the clone formation and cell migration, we found that: cortex, striatum, diencephalon all could form floating clones with different rate, the cortex formed clones at the highest rate, striatum and diencephalon at lower rate; few neurospheres formed from cortex adhered to the culture plate substrate and few cells were found migrating out from the adhered clones, striatum and diencephalon derived neurospheres adhered the plate more easily, and there were apparent cell migration. Mid-hind brain and spinal cord formed clones at the lowest rate, floating clones were scarce, and the clones adhered to the substrate readily, there were large amount of cell migrating out from these adhered clones. Conclusion Neural stem cells could proliferate and be passaged in vitro in serum-free medium, and they could be induced to differentiate under certain conditions into major cells types of CNS, there were differences in clone forming rate and cell migration between neural stem cells derived from different CNC regions, nonetheless they were at the same development stage, this may reflect that, in some degree, these cells can keep some of their region-specified developmental intrinsic property in vitro.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of ulinastatin(UT) conjoined to high flow continuous blood purification( CBP) in the critical patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS). To evaluate the therapeutic potential of UT and CBP in systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) , severe sepsis( SS) , acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Method A total of 122 cases of emergency and critical patients with a score of more than 15 counted up from APACHE H (acute physiology and chronic health evaluation 11 ) were randomly divided into Ulinastatin treatment group (UT group, n = 35) .continuous blood pu-rification(CBP group, n = 31),UT plus CBP (combine group, n = 30) and routine treatment group (control group, n =26). Routine treatment was given to patients of all groups, and patients of UT group had Ulinastatin 0.4 MIU given intravenously every 8 hours for 7 days in addition. Patients of CBP group were managed with continuous blood purification round the clock for 7 days and those of combine group were treated with UT plus CBP for 7 days.The efficacy of the treatment in four groups was assessed,and serum high sensivity reactive protein(hs-CRP) and IL-6 levels were measured on admission and comparison was made between values of biomarkers taken before and 1 d,3 d,and 7 d after treatment in four groups. The changes in WBCs,arterial gas analysis and the oxygena-tion index PaO2/FiO2 were checked, and at the same time, the APACHE II values and the incidence of MODS were compared within four groups. Results (1)One, three and seven days after treatment the plasma hs-CRP and IL-6 levels in UT and CBP groups were reduced significantly more than those in control group ( P < 0. 05), and in combine groups those were more dramatically lowered ( P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Before treatment there was no significance diffience in those values between groups, and there was on diffience in those values between 3 rd day and 7 th day after treatment ( P > 0.05). (2) The 1 st,3 rd and 7 th day after treatment the arterial gas PaO2/FiO2 index in UT and CBP groups was improved more than that in control group ( P < 0.05) , and it in combine group was most significant improved (P < 0.05,P < 0.01). The ALT and creatinine were lower than those in control group ( P < 0.05), and there were no significant differences in ALT and creatinine between groups before treatment (P > 0.05). (3) The 1 st,3 rd and 7th day afer treatment,the APACHE II values in UT and CBP groups were decreased more than those in control group ( P < 0. 05) , and therefore, the incidence of MODS was lower ( P < 0.05). Conclusions Ulinastatin could significantly inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines and CBP could effectively eliminate inflammatory factors from blood, and the combination of these two approaches produce a more effective therapeutic potential for preventing MODS development.
