Objective To investigate whether Ulinastatin (UTI) would minimize the systemic inflammatory response,lessen cardiac dysfunction and protect neurons against injury in hippocampus CA1area after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Methods Animal models of cardiac arrest were established in 24 New Zealand rabbits,and those animals were randomly (random number) divided into control group and UTI treated group after ROSC.Changes in the levels of plasma inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 were assayed before cardiac arrest and 4,8,12 and 16 hours after ROSC.Cardiac function including FS,EF and E/A were observed with ultrasonography before cardiac arrest and 4,8,12 and 16hours after ROSC,and viable and apoptotic neurons in hippocampus CA1 area and infiltrations of MPO positive cells in myocardium,cerebrum,liver,kidney and intestine were counted 72 hours after ROSC.The t-test or Mann-Whitney rank sum test was used to verify the specified theoretical distribution functions of the biomarkers tested by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test,POST HOC test was used for the multiple comparisons,and Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between inflammatory cytokines and cardiac function. Results The levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in UTI group were lower than those in control group as those data got 4,8,12 and 16 hours after ROSC (P <0.05).EF and E/A in UTI treated group were higher than those in the control group as those data got 4,8,12 hours after ROSC.FS values obtained 4 h and 8 hours after ROSC were higher in UTI group than those in control group ( P < 0.05 ).The Pearson correlation analysis showed that the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 significantly correlated with EF after ROSC.The number of viable neurons in CA1 area of control group was ( 13.22 ± 0.97) which was lower than that in UTI group ( 16.89 ± 1.45 ) ( P =0.003 ),while the number of apoptotic neurons in hippocampus CA1 area was higher in control group than that in UTI group (15.67 ± 1.37) vs.(13.67 ± 1.03 ) (P =0.019).The numbers of MPO positive cells were significantly lower in liver,kidney and intestine in group UTI than those in control group. Conclusions UTI could inhibit the infiltration of MPO positive cells in liver,kidney and intestine,decreasing the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in plasma,in turn lessening cardiac dysfunction and protecting neurons from injury in hippocampus CA1 area after ROSC of New Zealand rabbits.

Objective: To analyze the basic thyroid hormone level on long term prognosis and peri-operative recovery in patients after heart transplantation (HT) at the terminal stage of heart failure (HF).
Methods: A total of 270 consecutive patients who received HT at the terminal stage of HF in our hospital from 2009-09 to 2014-07 were retrospectively studied. According to serum levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), the patients were divided into 3 groups: TSH < 0.55 mIU/L group, TSH (0.55-2.5) mIU/L group and TSH > 2.5 mIU/L group. The peri-operative recovery condition and long term prognosis were observed and compared among 3 groups.
Result: The average age of patients was at (44.58 ± 13.30) years including 228 (84.4%) male and 42 (15.6%) female. The average post-operative follow-up period was (31.88 ± 17.48) months with 100% follow-up rate. There were 41.8% of patients with hypothyroidism, and 46 (17.0%) patients with low T3 syndrome, 56 (20.7%) with subclinical hypothyroidism and 11 (4.1%) with clinical hypothyroidism. The ratio of low level thyroid hormone in HT patients was much higher than general population. For peri-operative recovery, the ICU stay time and mechanical ventilation time were similar among 3 groups,P>0.05, while TSH (0.55-2.50) mIU/L group had the shortest times and TSH > 2.50 mIU/L group had longest times. For long term prognosis, no matter uni-/multi- aviate regression analysis or Kaplan-Meier surviving curve all suggested that TSH > 2.50 mIU/L was the independent risk factor inlfuencing the prognosis of HT patients at the terminal stage of HF. Upon TSH increasing, the patients would have worse prognosis accordingly.
Conclusion: Serum level of TSH > 2.50 mIU/L was the independent risk factor in HT patients at the terminal stage of HF.
