Objective:To observe the application effect of respiratory stepwise management in patients with septic shock combined with acute lung injury (ALI).Methods:100 patients with septic shock combined with ALI were selected as the research objects in Haikou Hospital Affiliated to Xiangya Medical College of Central South University from January 2018 to June 2020. Fifty patients were given endotracheal intubation or invasive ventilation on the basis of conventional treatment (conventional treatment group). According to the respiratory situation and blood gas, 50 patients were given systematic respiratory support step-by-step treatment according to the principle of simple to complex, and appropriate and scientific respiratory support was given according to the sequence from unarmed to mechanical (respiratory stepwise management group). The differences of cardiac index (CI), central venous pressure (CVP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2), oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2) before and after treatment were compared between the two groups, the therapeutic effects of the two groups were evaluated, and the resuscitation effect, postoperative complications rate, tracheotomy rate, utilization rate of invasive ventilator of the two groups were recorded. Results:After treatment, CI, CVP, EVLWI, PaO 2, PaO 2/FiO 2 levels of the two groups were significantly higher than before treatment, MAP and PaCO 2 levels were significantly lower than before treatment; MAP and PaCO 2 levels after treatment of the respiratory stepwise management group were significantly lower than those of the conventional treatment group [MAP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 68.2±7.0 vs. 74.4±6.8, PaCO 2 (mmHg): 37.82±4.05 vs. 41.76±4.59], the levels of EVLWI, PaO 2 and PaO 2/FiO 2 in the respiratory stepwise management group were significantly higher than those in the conventional treatment group [EVLWI (mL/kg): 15.34±3.03 vs. 13.64±3.32, PaO 2 (mmHg): 84.44±4.83 vs. 79.03±5.54, PaO 2/FiO 2 (mmHg): 452.42±51.32 vs. 431.73±50.03, all P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in CI or CVP after treatment between respiratory stepwise management group and conventional treatment group [CI (mL·s -1·m -2): 70.01±21.67 vs. 66.68±18.34, CVP (mmHg): 11.1±3.2 vs. 12.3±3.2, both P > 0.05]. Compared with the conventional treatment group, the average recovery time of the respiratory stepwise management group was earlier (hours: 2.04±0.54 vs. 4.29±0.20, P < 0.05), the stable breathing time was shorter (hours: 3.07±0.22 vs. 5.36±0.35, P < 0.05), the total effective rate and the success rate of recovery were significantly improved [86.0% (43/50) vs. 60.0% (30/50), 94.0% (47/50) vs. 74.0% (37/50), both P < 0.05], the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) and airway complications were significantly reduced [14.0% (7/50) vs. 32.0% (16/50), 12.0% (6/50) vs. 40.0% (20/50), both P < 0.05], and the tracheotomy rate and the utilization rate of invasive ventilator were significantly reduced [8.0% (4/50) vs. 28.0% (14/50), 30.0% (15/50) vs. 60.0% (30/50), both P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Respiratory stepwise management can effectively improve the resuscitation effect of septic shock patients with ALI, improve cardiopulmonary function, blood gas index and the treatment efficiency, effectively reduce the incidence of iatrogenic trauma and complications.

Objective:To compare postoperative analgesic effect of flurbiprofen axetil and parecoxib sodium in patients with humeral shaft fracture in painless ward.Methods:All of 200 hospitalized humeral fractures patients were retrospectively studied in the painless ward of the Forth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to September 2019 , the clinical effects of flurbiprofen axetil and parecoxib were compared.Results:Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) scores after 3 d of two groups of patients were significantly lower, compared with preoperative results: (4.26±0.96) scores vs. (6.09±1.38) scores, (4.04±1.19) scores vs. (6.04±1.11) scores, and the differences were statistical significantly ( P<0.01). Postoperative VAS score after 3 d of two groups had no statistical significance ( P>0.05). Two groups had different degree of adverse reactions after operation, and flurbiprofen axetil group had singnificant gastrointestinal adverse reaction: 22 patients vs. 3 patients( P<0.05). The number of patients in the parecoxib group were more than that in the flubiprofen axetil group without troubled sleep: 20 patients vs. 8 patients. Two groups of patients were satisfied with the pain care during hospitalization. Conclusions:Two analgestic drugs can obtain obvious analgesic effect in the treatment of bones surgery. The side effects and sleep disturbance in the flurbiprofen axetil group are higher than those in the parecoxib group. Good pain control can improve patients satisfaction with pain care.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Sargassum and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma incompatible pair with the Haizao Yuhutang (HYT) on oxidative stress in the liver of goiter rats under the condition of 2 times the dose limit of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China 2020. MethodA total of 128 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a euthyrox group (20 μg·kg-1), a HYT group (12.06 g·kg-1), a HYT without Sargassum (HYT-H) group (9.90 g·kg-1), a HYT without Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (HYT-G) group (10.26 g·kg-1), a HYT without Sargassum and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (HYT-HG) group (8.10 g·kg-1), and a Sargassum and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (HG) group (3.96 g·kg-1). The blank group was given deionized water by gavage, and the others were given propylthiouracil (PTU) to replicate the goiter pathological model. Euthyrox was taken as a positive control drug, and the rest of the Chinese medicine groups were given the corresponding decoction by gavage, the material was collected 12 hours after the last dose. The serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and the contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS) in liver tissue were detected in each group. The pathological changes in the liver were observed via hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was utilized to detect the mRNA expressions of Kelch-like Ech-associated protein 1 (Keap1), nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), p53 and Caspase-3 in liver tissues. Western blot was adopted to detect the protein expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 in liver tissues in oxidative stress-related signaling pathways. ResultCompared with control group, the model group showed significantly increased serum ALT level and contents of MDA and ROS in liver tissues (P<0.05, P<0.01), significantly reduced activities of SOD and GSH-Px in the liver (P<0.01), significantly increased mRNA expression of Keap1 (P<0.01), and significantly decreased mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the HYT group manifested significantly reduced serum levels of AST, ALT, and ALP (P<0.05, P<0.01), significantly reduced contents of MDA and ROS in liver tissue (P<0.01), significantly increased the activities of SOD and GSH-Px (P<0.01), significantly decreased mRNA expressions of Keap1, p53, and Caspase-3 (P<0.01), and significantly increased mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionUnder the condition of 2 times the dose limit of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China 2020, Sargassum and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma incompatible pair with the HYT on oxidative stress in the liver of goiter rats had different effects. The HYT that contains Sargassum and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma has a protective effect on the liver of goiter rats, and the effect is better than that of the HG group, the euthyrox group, and the incomplete groups. Its mechanism may be related to activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway to alleviate liver oxidative stress and inhibiting the p53/Caspase-3 signaling pathway to reduce hepatocyte apoptosis.
