Objective To investigate the effection of Shenfu Injection (Ginseng-radix aconitum Injection)to the blood coagulation system and its prognosis in the patient of multiple trauma complicated with shock.Methods We prospectively studied 90 patients of multiple trauma complicated with shock,who came from the emergency center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Medicine' s college of Zhe-Jiang University and emergency department of Lishui People' s Hospital from February 2007 to December 2011,and excluded those suffered with the dysfunction of coagulation system and uncontrolled ongoing bleeding before trauma.And then these eligible patients were randomly divided into two groups:treatment group ( 45 cases ) and control group (45 cases),the control group were received the routine treatment,the treatment group were received Shenfu Injection in early stage based on the routine treatment.The two groups were measured the platelet count (PLT),prothrombin time (PT),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),thrombin time (TT),fibrinogen (FIB) before treatment and 3,7 days after treatment.Results The differences of the PLT,PT,APTT,TT,FIB between the treatment group and control group at 3,7 d after the treatment was statistically significant (P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Shenfu Injection has positive regulation to the coagulation system in the patient of multiple trauma complicated with shock.

Objective To evaluate the value of neutrophil CD64 positive cells percentage(CD64%)detec-tion to stop using antibiotic in patients with severe pneumonia.Methods 60 accepted antibiotic therapy patients with severe pneumonia,in accordance with the random number table,were separated into observation group(n =30)and control group(n =30).Antibiotics were stopped according to CD64% in observation group,while it according to the clinical symptoms,the plasma level of white blood cell and C -reactive protein in control group.The main observation indexes included the days of antibiotics use,the length of Intensive Care Unit(ICU)stay,clinical efficacy and the case fatality rate.Results The days of antibiotics use in the observation group was (10.3 ±5.2)d,while it was (16.8 ± 5.8)d for patients in the control group,and it had significant difference(t =-4.570,P <0.01).The length of ICU stay in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group[(6.5 ±3.5)d vs (10.5 ±4.5)d],and it had significant difference(t =3.843,P <0.01).The clinical efficacy were 83.67% and 82.12%,and the case fatality rate were 9.68% and 10.24% in the observation group and control group,respectively,and both had no significant difference(P >0.05).Conclusion Stop using antibiotics according to the neutrophil CD64 % is safe,reliable,and can effectively reduce the excessive use of antibiotics and shorten the length of ICU stay in patients with severe pneumonia.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of pulse high-volume hemofiltration (PHVHF) on expressions of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in patients with severe sepsis.Methods Forty patients with severe sepsis were divided into conventional treatment group (n =20) and PHVHF group (n =20) according to random number table.Another fifteen healthy volunteers served as controls.TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA expressions in PBMCs were detected using RT-PCR and plasma concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 were measured using ELISA method before therapy and at 24 h,48 h and 72 h after therapy.Vital signs,BIL,Cr,BUN,Lac,PaO2/FiO2,acute physiology,chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APPACHE Ⅱ),sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and prognosis were compared among the groups.Besides,complications associated with PHVHF therapy were monitored.Results Expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA in PBMCs and concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly higher in patients with severe sepsis than in the controls (P < 0.01).At 72 hours after therapy,PHVHF group showed significantly lower concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 than those before therapy (P < 0.01) as well as significantly lower expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA in PBMCs than those in conventional treatment group (P < 0.O1).However,no significant decline in the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 and the expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA in PBMCs were shown in conventional treatment group after therapy.At 72 hours after therapy,PHVHF group showed significant increases of MAP and PaO2/FiO2 and significant decreases of Cr,BUN,Lac,APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA as compared to those before therapy (P < 0.05).Moreover,the differences of MAP,PaO2/FiO2,Cr,BUN,Lac,APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA were statistically significant between and conventional treatment group at 72 hours after therapy (P < 0.05).Conclusion PHVHF achieves a reduced systemic inflammatory response,improved major organ functions,shortened length of stay in ICU and down-regulated TLR2 and TLR4 expressions in PBMCs that may be a novel mechanism of PHVHF in treatment of severe sepsis.
