Objective: To explore the relationship between plasma level of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and short term prognosis in patients of sudden cardiac arrest with successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Methods:A total of 60 relevant patients were divided into 3 groups based on their plasma levels of BNP. Group A, the patients with plasma level of BNP < 200 pg/ml at immediately, 3 hours and 12-24 hours after CPR,n=16. Group B, the patients with consistently increased BNP and at 3 hours, 12-24 hours after CPR and the BNP level > 200 pg/ml , n=22. Group C, the patients with obviously increased BNP at 3 hours after CPR, while at 12-24 hours after CPR, BNP level decreased to lower than 3 hours level,n=22. All patients were followed-up for 6 months to compare the mortality incidence among different groups. Results: There was no patient died in Group A, the mortality incidence in Group B was 11 and in Group C was 3. The 6 months survival rate in Group A was higher than that in Group B (χ2 = 11.337,P=0.001), the survival rates were similar between Group A and Group C (χ2 = 2.330,P=0.127), and the survival rate in Group B was lower than that in Group C (χ2=7.435,P= 0.006). Conclusion: Consistently increased plasma level of BNP may imply heart failure in patients of sudden cardiac arrest with successful CPR, those patients could have poor short term prognosis. It is critical to improve the cardiac function and increase the important organ infusion to make better recent clinical prognosis.

As an important part of the enteric nervous system(ENS),enteric glial cells(EGCs)play an important role in regulating intestinal homeostasis and maintaining intestinal health in hu-mans and animals.This review focuses on the role of EGCs in maintaining intestinal barrier homeo-stasis,maintaining gastrointestinal transit and motor function,regulating the niche of intestinal cells,and the role in the occurrence and development of intestinal diseases,hoping to provide new ideas for further research on the function and mechanism of EGCs in the intestine and the occur-rence,development and treatment of related intestinal diseases.
