Objective To assess the disease severity and prognosis value by observing the kinetic change of serum procalcitonin(PCT)and PCT clearance rate(PCTc)in the patients with ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP). Methods A single-center prospective observational study was conducted. A total of 128 patients with VAP admitted into intensive care unit(ICU)of First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from February 2012 to June 2014 were enrolled. The patients were divided into recovery group(n=88)and deterioration group(n=40) according to the therapeutic outcome. The acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)scores were estimated within 24 hours when VAP was diagnosed. The serum PCT(PCT1,PCT5,PCT7,PCT9)and PCTc(PCTc5, PCTc7,PCTc9)were examined at 1,5,7 and 9 days after the VAP was diagnosed. The diagnostic and predictive performance of PCT,PCTc and APACHEⅡ scores were assessed by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results APACHEⅡscores in recovery group were significantly lower than those in the deterioration group (14.49±5.30 vs. 18.90±5.30,t=-4.349,P=0.000). There was no significant difference in PCT level(μg/L)at 1 day after VAP was diagnosed between recovery group and deterioration group〔2.84(0.81,6.43)vs. 3.50(0.97,10.27), Z=-1.431,P=0.152〕. With prolonged treatment,PCT was gradually decreased in recovery group,while remained at higher level in deterioration group,which was significantly lowered at 5 days after VAP diagnosed in recovery group compared with that in the deterioration group〔1.28(0.65,3.13)vs. 2.39(0.78,9.35),Z=-2.012,P=0.044〕. PCTc maintained higher level in recovery group which was gradually increased with the improvement of the disease, and PCTc in deterioration group was lowered which was gradually decreased with the development of the disease. PCTc at 5,7,9 days in recovery group was significantly higher than that in deterioration group〔5 d:50.43(20.39,80.60)%vs. -56.68(-286.28,172.92)%, Z=-2.250, P=0.024;7 d:54.01(5.70,102.30)% vs. -76.91(-335.03, 181.21)%,Z=-2.561,P=0.010;9 d:63.88(25.93,101.80)%vs.-133.49(-547.20,280.16)%,Z=-3.133, P=0.002〕. The area under ROC curve(AUC)of PCT5,PCT7,PCT9 predicting the prognosis was 0.591,0.683, 0.746,respectively〔95% confidence interval(95%CI)was 0.456-0.726(P=0.161),0.557-0.808(P=0.005), 0.631-0.860(P=0.000)〕. When PCT9 was 5.65μg/L,the sensitivity of 95%and the specificity of 61%. The AUC of PCTc5,PCTc7 and PCTc9 was 0.648,0.685,0.729,respectively〔95%CI was 0.513-0.783(P=0.028),0.555-0.815(P=0.006),0.607-0.851(P=0.001)〕. When PCTc9 was 92%,the sensitivity was 98%and the specificity was 71%. The AUC of APACHEⅡscore was 0.693(95%CI 0.578-0.808,P=0.003). When APACHEⅡscore was 19.5,the sensitivity was 77%and the specificity was 58%. Conclusions The increased levels of PCT in patients with VAP were associated with the poor control of infection and may indicate the deterioration of VAP,it also can reflect the activity of lung infection in time. Keep observing the dynamic change of PCT and analyzing PCTc is more useful. The PCTc levels may provide evidence of disease progression and helpful in risk stratification in patients with VAP,and lower level of PCTc may accompany serious infection and predict poor prognosis.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the contents determination of 4 amino acids in Pyrrosia lingua. METHODS:The samples were analyzed by RP-HPLC. It was performed on a column of Welchrom C18 with the mobile phase A of 0.1 mol/L So-dium acetate buffer(pH6.5)- acetonitrile(93∶7,V/V)and mobile phase B of acetonitrile-water(4∶1,V/V)(gradient elution)at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelength was 254 nm,column temperature was 30 ℃ and the sample size was 5 μl. RE-SULTS:The linear range was 4.92-49.2 μg/ml for glutamate(r=0.999 1),3.168-31.68 μg/ml for glycine(r=0.999 9),2.6-26 μg/ml for alanine(r=0.999 4)and 2.88-28.8 μg/ml for leucine(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were no more than 2.2%;average recoveries were 98.4%(RSD=2.2%,n=9),99.6%(RSD=2.5%,n=9),98.3%(RSD=2.2%,n=9)and 100.1%(RSD=2.3%,n=9),respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,accurate and reproducible,and can be used for the contents determination of 4 amino acids in P. lingua.

Objective To investigate the effect of hypertonic sodium chloride hydroxyethyl 40 injection (HSH)on craniocerebral injury accompanied with hypovolemic shock and ICP.Method Sixty patients suffering from craniecerebral injury accompanied with the hypovolemic shock and admitted to ICU and Neurosurgical Department of Guang dong General Hospital from September 2007 to June 2008,were chosen into the study prospectively.Those who was younger than 18years or older than 70 years,and those who were pregnant or meustruous women,or serious hepatic and renal insufficiency,hypertension,coronaxy artery disease,diabets mellitue,uncontrolled bleeding,brain death,erc were excluded.The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups.Each group included 20 patients and they were resuscitated with LR(500 ml),HIS(4 ml/kg)and HSH(4 ml/kg)respectively.The changos of blood pressure,laboratory examination indices and ICP Were detected before and at 30,60,120 minutes after resuscitation.Results MAP raised over 60 mmHg and ICP declined 10%within 30 min in HIS and HSH groups.The effect of HSH on the improving of blood pressure and the reduction of ICP wag more obvious than that of LR and HIS at 120 minutes(F=18.43,8.99,P<0.05)after resuscitation.There were no obvious oboes of the laboratory examination indices after resuscitation.Conclusions The themputic effect of HSH on ICP and MAP in craniocerebral injury accompanied with hypovolemic shock is obvious and lasting,which would be beneficial to the protection of cerebral function.

Objective To study the expressions of heat shock protein 27(HSP27)in brain tissue and the changes of antibody of HSP27 in serum after transient cerebral ischemic reperfusion in gerbils.Methods A cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model in gerbils was established by clamping both common carotids.Sixty gerbils were randomly divided into normal control group,sham operation group and ischemia-reperfusion(IR)group.The expressions of HSP27 in brain tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry technique and the changes of antibody of HSP27 were detected by ELISA technique at the 6th hour,1st day,3rd and 7th day after IR.Experimental results were analyzed with the statistic soft package of Spss11.5.Results Experimental results revealed that HSP27 were expressed in neurons and gliacytes of the brain tissue in the 60 gerbils.There was mild expressions of HSP27 in neurons and gliacytes in normal control group and sham operation group, but it has no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Compared with normal control group,the expressions of HSP27 in neurong and gliacytes of ischemia-reperfusion gerbils were evidently increased at the 6th hour,1st day,3rd day and 7th day,especially at the 3rd day(P＜0.01).Conclusions Expressions of HSP27 in neurons and gliacytes of gerbils were increased markedly.This suggested that the increased expressions of HSP27 could protect the brain tissue from damage.The changes of antibody in serum of normal control group,sham operation group were evidently less than that in group IR,which suggest the HSP27 antibody may damage our body.
