Objective To assess whether dynamic arterial elastance (Eadyn)can be used to predict the reduction of arterial pressure after decreasing norepinephrine (NE) dosage in patients with septic shock.Methods A prospective observational cohort study was conducted.Thirty-two patients with septic shock and mechanical ventilationwere enrolledfrom January 2014 to December 2015 in ICU of Wuxi People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.Hemodynamic parameters were recorded by pulse contour cardiac output(PiCCO) monitoring technology before and after decreasing norepinephrine dosage.Eadyn was defined as the ratio of pulse pressure variation (PPV) to stroke volume variation (SVV).Mean arterial pressure (MAP) variation was calculated after decreasing the dose of NE.Response was defined as a ≥ 15%decrease of MAP.AUC was plotted to assess the value of Eadyn in predicting MAP response.Results A total of 32 patients were enrolled in our study,with 13 responding to NE dose decrease where as the other 19 did not.Eadyn was lower in responders than in nonresponders (0.77 ± 0.13 vs 1.09 ± 0.31,P < 0.05).Baseline Eadyn was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure variation,diastolic blood pressure variation,systemic vascular resistance variation and MAP variation (r =0.621,P =0.000;r =0.735,P =0.000;r =0.756,P =0.000;r =0.568,P =0.000 respectively).However,stoke volume variation,baseline level of systemic vascular resistance and NE baseline dose were not correlated with Eadyn baseline value (r =0.264,P =0.076;r =0.078,P =0.545;r =0.002,P =0.987 respectively).Eadyn ≤ 0.97 predicted a decrease of MAP when decreasing NE dose,with an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of 0.85.The sensitivity was 100.0% and specificity was 73.7%.Conclusions In septic shock patients treated with NE,Eadyn is an index to predict the decrease of arterial pressure in response to NE dose reduction.

BACKGROUND:Nowadays, the internal fixation materials for the clinical treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures are broadly divided into two categories:intramedul ary fixation system and
extramedul ary fixation system. However, the effects of the treatments usual y lack of macro evaluation.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the effect of intramedul ary fixation system and extramedul ary internal fixation system in the treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures.
METHODS:217 patients with unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture (Evans typing: Ⅲ type to Ⅴ type and R type) were treated by using intramedul ary fixation system and extramedul ary internal fixation system:18
cases were treated with dynamic condylar screw, 67 cases were treated with dynamic hip screw, 43 cases were treated with reconstruction nail, 72 cases were treated with proximal femoral anti-rotation blade nail, and 17 cases were treated with new generation of antegrade interlocking intramedul ary nail. The operative time, length of
incision, blood loss, time in bed, fracture healing time, complications and Harris hip score were analyzed and compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the aspects of operative time, blood loss, time in bed, complications and
Harris hip score, the intramedul ary fixation system was superior to extramedul ary internal fixation system. But there were significant differences in the aspects of length of incision and fracture healing time between two
methods. The results showed that the treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures by using
intramedul ary fixation system was better than the extramedul ary internal fixation system, as the intramedul ary fixation system could effectively shorten the operative time and reduce blood loss. This stable and reliable fixation enables patients to take early postoperative functional exercise, and could significantly shorten the time in bed and reduce the incidence of complications and it is conducive to postoperative hip function recovery.
Therefore, intramedul ary fixation system is an ideal method for the treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures.
