In recent years, the research hot in the field of solid tumor and blood tumor focuses on the myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs).In tumors, MDSCs not only exert immunosuppression by inhibiting T cell proliferation, destroying the functions of natural killer cells and recruiting regulatory T cells, but also play non-immunosuppression roles in the promotion of angiogenesis and tumor metastasis.All of these hinder the anti-tumor therapy, and particularly affect the curative effect, which are related with a poor clinical prognosis.MDSCs can be used as prognostic markers, which provide new targets for immunotherapy.

Objective To investigate the effects of ω-3 fish oil lipid emulsion via vein on the inflammatory response,immune and organ function in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.Methods A total of 53 patients with severe acute pancreatitis were randomized into conventional therapy plus fish oil group (FO group) and conventional therapy group (CON group).The patients in FO group were treat with ω-3 fish oil lipid emulsion (0.2 g · kg-1 · d-1,10%) based on conventional therapy for 14 days.The level of C-reactive protein (CRP),TG and TC were detected before treatment and at day 7 and day 14 after treatment.CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and C3,C4 were also detected at day 1 and day 14 after treatment.At the same time,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ score (APACHE Ⅱ score),intra-abdominal pressure,negative fluid balance time,enteral nutrition start-time and ICU stay time were observed and recorded.Results Forty-five out of 53 patients were finally recruited into results statistics.The level of CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and C3 at day 14 after treatment in FO groups improved significantly than that in the CON group (P <0.05).The levels of CRP,intra-abdominal pressure and APACHE Ⅱ score at day 7 and day 14in FO group descended more obviously than that in the CON group (P < 0.05).The negative liquid balance time in FO group (3.55 ±0.86) days was obvious shorter than that in CON group (4.61 ± 1.12) days,while enteral nutrition start-time (3.86 ± 1.17) days was significantly earlier compared with CON group (5.30 ± 1.61) days (P < 0.05),however ICU stay time and 28 days mortality rate had no significant difference between the two groups.Conclusions ω-3 fish oil lipid emulsion can decrease the inflammatory response and the negative liquid balance time,improve the immune function and restore bowel function in severe acute pancreatitis patients.Therefore,it maybe provide a new and effective means for severe acute pancreatitis.

Objective To investigate whether early goal-directed therapy ( EGDT ) could lower the mortality rate in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. Methods Articles with items sepsis, severe sepsis, septic shock, EGDT were retrieved from MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, Wanfang Data and CNKI. Inclusion criteria included randomized controlled trial, subjects concerning patients with severe sepsis or septic shock, endpoints with short-term mortality [ in-hospital, intensive care unit ( ICU ) or 28-day ] and long-term mortality ( 60-day or 90-day ). Related risk ( RR ) and 95% confidence interval ( 95%CI ) were used as indices to judge the difference in mortality rate between EGDT group and standard treatment group. RevMan 5.2 software was used for Meta analysis. Results There were 8 studies meeting inclusive criteria with a total of 4 853 patients. For patients with severe sepsis and septic shock, compared with the group with routine treatment, EGDT showed a decrease in the short-term mortality ( RR = 0.74, 95%CI=0.66-0.82, P<0.000 01 ), but did not decrease the long-term mortality ( RR=0.99, 95%CI=0.92-1.06, P=0.81 ). Conclusion EGDT strategy may decrease the short-term mortality in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock, but it showed no influence on the long-term mortality.

BACKGROUNDFew studies have reported the effect of different volume responsiveness evaluation methods on volume therapy results and prognosis. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of two volume responsiveness evaluation methods, stroke volume variation (SVV) and stroke volume changes before and after passive leg raising (PLR-ΔSV), on fluid resuscitation and prognosis in septic shock patients.
METHODSSeptic shock patients admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Zhejiang Hospital, China, from March 2011 to March 2013, who were under controlled ventilation and without arrhythmia, were studied. Patients were randomly assigned to the SVV group or the PLR-ΔSV group. The SVV group used the Pulse Indication Continuous Cardiac Output monitoring of SVV, and responsiveness was defined as SVV ≥12%. The PLR-ΔSV group used ΔSV before and after PLR as the indicator, and responsiveness was defined as ΔSV ≥15%. Six hours after fluid resuscitation, changes in tissue perfusion indicators (lactate, lactate clearance rate, central venous oxygen saturation (SCVO2), base excess (BE)), organ function indicators (white blood cell count, neutrophil percentage, platelet count, total protein, albumin, alanine aminotransferase, total and direct bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, serum creatine kinase, oxygenation index), fluid balance (6- and 24-hour fluid input) and the use of cardiotonic drugs (dobutamine), prognostic indicators (the time and rate of achieving early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) standards, duration of mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit stay, and 28- day mortality) were observed.
RESULTSSix hours after fluid resuscitation, there were no significant differences in temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, SpO2, organ function indicators, or tissue perfusion indicators between the two groups (P > 0.05). The 6- and 24-hour fluid input was slightly less in the SVV group than in the PLR-ΔSV group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The SVV group used significantly more dobutamine than the PLR-ΔSV group (33.3% vs. 10.7%, P = 0.039). There were no significant differences in the time ((4.8±1.4) h vs. (4.3±1.3) h, P = 0.142) and rate of achieving EGDT standards (90.0% vs. 92.9%, P = 0.698), or in the length of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay. The 28-day mortality in the SVV group (16.7% (5/30)) was slightly higher than the PLR-?SV group (14.3% (4/28)), but the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.788).
CONCLUSIONSIn septic shock patients under controlled ventilation and without arrhythmia, using SVV or PLR-ΔSV methods to evaluate volume responsiveness has a similar effect on volume therapy results and prognosis. The evaluation and dynamic monitoring of volume responsiveness is more important for fluid resuscitation than the evaluation methods themselves. Choosing different methods to evaluate volume responsiveness has no significant influence on the effect of volume therapy and prognosis.
