Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in Intensive and Critical Care 2015;26(2):173-177
Objective To investigate the impacts of Xuebijing injection on systemic inflammatory response and immune function of patients with acute exacerbation of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted. Forty patients with severe AECOPD were divided into control group and Xuebijing group in accordance with the random number table, each group 20 cases. Both groups were treated by routine conventional basic therapy of severe AECOPD including anti-infection, phlegm-expelling formula, bronchodilators and mechanical ventilation, etc, while in Xuebijing group, intravenous drip of Xuebijing (100 mg, twice a day for 5 days) was additionally used. The changes of data of arterial blood gas analysis, blood routine examination, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), immune function, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation system Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score before and after therapy were observed and compared between the two groups. The length of stay in hospital, duration of mechanical ventilation, and prognosis were also compared between the two groups. Besides, according to the difference in APACHE Ⅱ score, all the patients were divided into APACHEⅡscore≥15 score group (18 cases) and APACHEⅡscore<15 score group (22 cases), and the immune function were compared between the two groups. Results ①The immune function was descended and disordered in patients with severe AECOPD. Compared with the < 15 score group, the expressions of CD45+, CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, B-lymphocyte, natural killer cell (NK cell) in ≥ 15 score group were significantly lowered [CD45+(×106/L):663.92±100.61 vs. 1 289.92±169.38, CD3+(×106/L):342.05±108.93 vs. 882.37±172.56, CD4+(×106/L):205.96±63.97 vs. 486.24±108.64, CD4+/CD8+ratio:0.76±0.49 vs. 1.32±0.57, B-lymphocyte (×106/L):124.77±32.72 vs. 166.06±48.02, NK cells (×106/L): 186.47±39.57 vs. 243.51±44.72, all P < 0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in the expression of CD8+ between the ≥ 15 score group and < 15 score group (P > 0.05). ② Compared with those before therapy, the pH value, oxygenation index, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), white blood cell count (WBC), CRP, PCT were significantly improved after therapy in both control and Xuebijing groups. Compared with those in the control group, WBC, CRP, PCT were significantly lowered in Xuebijing group [WBC (×109/L): 10.29±3.83 vs. 12.69±3.42, CRP (mg/L): 9.06±4.19 vs. 15.26±4.22, PCT (ng/L): 0.18±0.21 vs. 0.42±0.24, all P < 0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences in pH value, oxygenation index and PaCO2 between two groups (all P>0.05). The degrees of improvement of CD45+, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were more remarkable in Xuebijing group after treatment than those in control group [CD45+ (×106/L): 1 079.38±153.86 vs. 1 015.63±157.11, CD3+ (×106/L): 652.05±100.05 vs. 596.81±106.85, CD4+ (×106/L): 358.92±67.53 vs. 329.99±72.61, CD8+ (×106/L): 205.73±35.19 vs. 230.41±39.74, CD4+/CD8+ratio: 2.16±0.63 vs. 1.52±0.54, all P < 0.05]. The B-lymphocyte and NK cell before treatment and after treatment showed no statistical significant differences between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the duration of mechanical ventilation (hours: 56.25±22.87 vs. 69.45±26.59) and the length of stay in hospital (days: 11.00±0.74 vs. 14.00±2.06) were shortened, and APACHE Ⅱ score was significantly lowered in Xuebijing group (8.21±2.97 vs. 12.08±3.12, P < 0.05). The numbers of multiple organ failure and dead patients in Xuebijing group were less than those of control group, but no statistical significant differences were found (both P > 0.05). Conclusion Xuebijing injection for treatment of patients with severe AECOPD can ameliorate inflammatory response, improve immune function, shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and the length of stay in hospital, and decrease the risk of death.
2.Analysis on clinical significance of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from patients′sputum samples in cerebral surgery ICU
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2015;(5):624-625
Objective To understand the clinical distribution and drug resistance situation of112 strains of Acinetobacter Bau-mannii isolated from the patients′sputum samples in cerebral surgery ICU in order to provide the basis for the rational use of anti-bacterial drugs in clinical therapy.Methods 112 strains of Acinetobacter Baumannii were performed the retrospective analysis.The VITEK2-Compact automatic microbiological analyzer was adopted to conduct the bacterial identification and the drug susceptibility test and the K-B method was combined as the supplement control.The Whonet 5.6 software was used for conducting the statistical analysis.Results Among 112 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii,75 strains(67.0%)were multi-drug resistant,8 strains(7.1%) were pan-resistant.The antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed that the resistant rates of Acinetobacter baumannii to mezlocillin, piperacillin and nitrofurantoin reached up to 100%.Acinetobacter Baumannii had the lower resistant rate to polymyxin B (2.7%), the resistant rates to minomycin and ceperazone/sulbactam were 4.5% and 10.7% respectively.Conclusion The drug resistance phenomena of Acinetobacter Baumannii in the cerebral surgery department ICU is serious.Minomycin,polymyxin B and ceperazone/sulbactam have the better antibacterial activities to clinically isolated Acinetobacter Baumannii and may be the alternative drugs for therapy.Clinic should strengthen the monitoring and rationally use the antibacterial drugs.
3.Curative Effect of Lacidophilin Vaginal Capsules Combined with Loop Electrosurgical Excisional Procedure in the Treatment of Cervical Erosion with Chronic Cervicitis
China Pharmacist 2015;(1):101-102
Objective:To discuss the curative effect of lacidophilin vaginal capsules combined with loop electrosurgical excisional procedure ( LEEP) in the treatment of cervical erosion with chronic cervicitis. Methods:Totally 72 cases of patients with cervical ero-sion with chronic cervicitis were selected and divided into the observation group and the control group at random. The patients in the two groups were given routine LEEP with the application of antibiotics to prevent infection for 1 week. The patients in the observation group were additionally given lacidophilin vaginal capsules, placed in the vagina after the operation, one capsule per time at every night for 14 days. The vaginal fluid time and vaginal bleeding time in the two groups were observed. The clinical curative effect and adverse drug reactions ( ADRs) after 8 weeks of the operation were studied and evaluated again. Results: The vaginal bleeding amount and bleeding time in the observation group after the operation was less or shorter than that in the control group (P<0. 05). According to the further consultation after 8 weeks of the operation, the total clinical efficiency in the observation group was 94. 44%, which was ob-viously higher than that in the control group(75. 00%,P<0. 05). There was no obvious ADR appeared in the two groups during the treatment. Conclusion:Lacidophilin vaginal capsules combined with LEEP has reliable curative effect on cervical erosion with chronic cervicitis, which can obviously shorten the wound healing time and decrease the vaginal bleeding amount and time with high security.

Clinical Medicine of China 2016;32(5):475-478
Objective Hemapoietic stem cell (HSC) is a kind of pluripotent cell which can differentiate into different kinds of cells,including blood cells and immune cells.Hemapoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT) is to destory abnormal bone marrow hematopoietic cells,and imbed healthy stem cells to reconstruct hematopoiesis and immune system,and it is an effective therapy for the treatment of hematopoietic malignances,genetic and metabolic disease,autoimmune disease and solid tumor.At present,it has been widely used to treat the patients with hematologial malignant tumors,such as lymphoma and leukemia.Clinical investigation showed that patients with leukemia and psoriasis after HSCT,both leukemia and psoriasis were cured.In this review,the immunopathogenesis of psoriasis,the possible mechanism of psoriasis associated with leukemia,the immunopathogenesis of HSCT and the theory basis of treating psoriasis and the application of HSCT in the treatment of psoriasis with leukemia were comprehensively discussed.
