OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of the early use of heparin on the prognosis related indicators of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS). METHODS:Data of 86 ARDS patients were retrospectively analyzed and divided in-to observation group(45 cases)and control group(41 cases)by whether the early use of heparin. Control group received invasive mechanical ventilation,using end-expiratory pressure(PEEP)ventilation method,enteral nutrition support,nasogastric enteral nu-trition suspension 35-40 kcal/(kg·d);patients with combined infection were given Sodium ceftizoxime for injection 2 g,adding in-to 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 100 mL by intravenously infused,twice a day. Observation group was additionally given Hepa-rin sodium injection 6250 units by continuous intravenously pumped. They were treated for 14 d. The cumulative incidence of dis-seminated intravascular coagulation(DIC),and D-dimer,platelet count(PLT)before treatment and after 3,7,14 d of treatment, IL-6,IL-8,IL-10,TNF-α levels before and after treatment,and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RE-SULTS:The cumulative incidence of DIC in observation group was significantly lower than control group,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the D-dimer,PLT,IL-6,IL-8,IL-10,TNF-α levels, with no statistical significance (P>0.05). After treatment,D-dimer,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α levels in 2 groups were significantly higher than before,while observation group was significantly lower than control group;PLT in 2 groups was significantly lower than before,while observaton group was higher than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no signifi-cant difference in the IL-10 level in 2 groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). And there were no obvious adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Based on conventional treatment,early use of heparin can significantly decrease the DIC rick for ARDS patients,which can improve coagulation disorders,reduce inflammatory response,and dose not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of amikacin different administrations in the treatment of ventila-tor-associated pneumonia. METHODS:Data of 109 patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia were divided into observation group (58 cases) and control group (51 cases) based on different administrations. All patients received 3.0 g Ceftriaxone sodium for injection,adding into 100 ml 0.9% Sodium chloride injection,intravenously,once every 12 h. Based on it,control group re-ceived 7.5 mg/kg Amikacin sulfate injection,once a day. Observation group received 7.5 mg/kg Amikacin sulfate injection,adding into 20 ml 0.45% Sodium chloride injection,aerosol inhalation,twice a day. The treatment course for both groups was 7 d. Clini-cal pulmonary infection score (CPIS),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),serum creatinine (Cr),oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2), IL-10,IL-6,C-reactive protein(CRP),tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,cumulative mortality after 3 months of treatment and the incidence of adverse reactions before and after treatment in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the CPIS score,ALT,Cr,PaO2/FiO2,IL-10,IL-6,CRP and TNF-α levels in 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,CPIS score,TNF-α,IL-6 and CRP levels in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,observation group was low-er than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),and there was no significant difference in IL-10 before and after treatment in 2 groups(P>0.05). PaO2/FiO2 in observation group and ALT,Cr and PaO2/FiO2 in control group were signif-icantly higher than before,PaO2/FiO2 in observation group was higher than control group,ALT and Cr were significantly lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The cumulative mortality after 3 months of treatment in observation group was significantly lower than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). And there were no severe adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:The efficacy of amikacin by aerosol inhalation is superior to by in-travenous infusion in the treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia,it can effectively reduce inflammatory cytokine levels and mortality rate,do not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective To evaluate the dose distribution of target volume and normal tissues with different treatment planning such as three dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3DCRT) ,simplified intensity modulated radiotherapy(sIMRT) ,and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for patients with radically resected rectal cancer. Methods Ten male patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ rectal cancer after radical resection (Dixon surgery) were enrolled in this study. 3-field or 5-field 3DCRT,slMRT and 5-field or 7-field IMRT plans were performed for each patient. The dose distributions of target volume and normal tissues,conformal index(CI) and heterogeneous index(HI) were analyzed using the dose-volume histogram(Dvit). The prescription dose was 50 Gy in 25 fractions. Results The CI for PTV of IMRT and sIMRT was superior to 3DCRT. Conversely,the HI for PTV of 3DCRT was superior to sIMRT and IMRT. sIMRT and IMRT can protect the organs at risk better than 3DCRT. The mean of total MU for 3DCRT3f,3DCRT5f, sIMRT, IMRT5f and IMRTT7f was 482±13,504±11,455±42,841±36 and 884±46, respectively. Conclusions Comparing with 3DCRT plans and IMRT plans, sIMRT plan was the optimal plan for clinical practice. All of the three radiotherapy techniques can protect the rectal stump and anal canal well with the prescription dose of 50 Gy.
