Objective To observe the effect of ulinastatin on NT -proB -NP and Picco in patients with severe sepsis.Methods 50 patients with severe sepsis were randomly divided into the control group and observation group,25 patients in each group.The control group received the routine treatment,and the observation group received ulinastatin additionally.The venous blood was collected to determine cTn -I,NT -proBNP,TNF -αand Lac before treatment and 7 days after treatment.The APACHE Ⅱ and CFI were observed before treatment and 7 days after treat-ment.Results The differences of CFI,cTnI,NT -proBNP in the two groups before treatment were not significant (t =0.419,0.321,0.335,all P >0.05),after treatment,cTnI and NT -proBNP decreased more significantly(t =2.976,2.910,all P <0.05),while lifting more apparent CFI[(3.98 ±0.95)vs.(2.39 ±0.85),t =6.237,P <0.05]in the observation group than in the control group.The differences of TNF -αand Lac in the two groups before treatment were not significant (t =0.602,0.848,all P >0.05 ),after treatment,TNF -αand Lac decreased significantly faster in the observation group than in the control group(t =8.478,3.104,all P <0.05).After treat-ment,APACHE Ⅱ score decreased significantly in observation group than in the control group(t =2.321,P <0.05). Conclusion Ulinastatin had protective effects on heart function in patients with severe sepsis.

Objective: To study the curative effect of Shengmai injection(生脉注射液) and composite Danshen injection(复方丹参注射液) on acute septic cardiomyopathy(ASC).Methods: Sixty patients(clinically) diagnosed as ASC were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group and control group.All the patients received western routine treatment,and Shengmai injection and composite Danshen injection were added to the patients in the treatment group once per day for 14 days.Cardiac troponin(cTn),electrocardiogram(ECG),clinical synthetic curative effect and amelioration rate of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores as well as inflammatory indexes including C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT) and white blood cell count(WBC) were observed after treatment.Results: The levels of cTn,ECG,clinical synthetic curative effect and amelioration rate of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores were more improved in the treatment group than those of the control group(all P

Objective: To investigate the relationship between prognosis and alteration of oxygen(utilization) coefficient(O_2UC) in patients with sepsis.Methods: Sixty critically ill patients were divided into(sepsis)(n=30) and nonsepsis(n=30) groups,and 30 healthy controls were selected as normal control group.Gas analysis of arterial blood and central venous blood and calculation of O_2UC(O_2UC=arterial oxygen(saturation-venous) oxygen saturation/arterial oxygen saturation) were carried out at 8 o′clock in sepsis and(non-sepsis) groups on admission and 1,2,3,5,7 and 10 days after admission,and gas analysis of arterial blood and central venous blood was carried out only once in the controls.Results: On admission and 1 day(after) admission,O_2UCs in sepsis and non-sepsis groups were significantly higher than that of control group(both P0.05)).When O_2UC in critically ill patients persisted higher than 55% for 12-24 hours,the prognosis of the patients was poor and had a tendency to die in a short time.From the 2 nd day after admission,O_2UCs in sepsis and non-sepsis groups were lower than that in control group,and O_2UC in sepsis group was obviously lower than that in non-sepsis group(all P0.05),but from the 2 nd day after admission,O_2UC in sepsis group remained at a lower level compared with that in control group(all P

AIM: To explore whether Agkistrodon Halys venom antitumor component-I (AHVAC-I) affects the migration of gastric cancer cells by human primary gastric cancer-associated fibroblast (GCAFs). METHODS: Tissue block culture and trypsin digestion were used to separate and culture human primary gastric cancer-associated fibroblasts (GCAFs); the GCAFs-CM
