Objective To establish a swine model of 10 min prolonged cardiac arrest (CA) induced by electrically triggered ventricular fibrillation,and then evaluate the quality of the model and the value in the establishment of post-cardiac arrest syndrome.Methods Fourteen domestic healthy swine weighing 38 ±3 kg were selected for study.Ventricular fibrillation was induced for 10 min,and then cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was initiated and continued for 5 min.The resuscitated animals were observed for 72 h after resuscitation.The resuscitation outcomes and survival rate were recorded.The functions of heart,lung and brain,and systemic inflammatory response and tissue perfusion were regularly evaluated for 72 h post-resuscitation.Results Eleven of the fourteen swine obtained restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC),and the rate of successful resuscitation and 72 h survival were both 78.6%.Significantly worse post-resuscitation myocardial function was found in all animals compared to the value prior to CA and the myocardial function was evaluated by decreased stroke volume and global ejection fraction,and increased levels of serum cardiac troponin-Ⅰ and n-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide.Postresuscitation extra-vascular lung water index and pulmonary vascular permeability index were significantly increased accompanied with significantly decreased oxygenation index compared with the values before CA,indicating the occurrence of acute lung injury.In addition,post-resuscitation systemic inflammatory response and tissue low perfusion evidenced by significantly higher levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 and arterial blood lactate were observed.Consequently,severe neurological deficit with significantly higher levels of serum neuron-specific enolase and S-100B was observed following 72 h postresuscitation.Conclusions This swine model of prolonged cardiac arrest induced by electrically triggered ventricular fibrillation was a well established model with high success rate of resuscitation,significant vital organ injury and relatively long duration of survival;it is an excellent model for the study of post-cardiac arrest syndrome.

Objective To investigate the effects of limb ischemic post-conditioning (LIpostC) alone or its combination with therapeutic hypothermia (TH) on systemic inflammatory response and lung injury after cardiac arrest (CA) and resuscitation. Methods Twenty-one healthy male pigs weighing (37±2) kg were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 7 each): control group, LIpostC group, and LIpostC+TH group. The animal model was established by 10 minutes of untreated CA and then 5 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Coincident with the start of CPR, LIpostC was induced by four cycles of 5 minutes of limb ischemia followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion in the LIpostC and LIpostC+TH groups. After successful resuscitation, TH was implemented by surface cooling to reach a temperature of 32-34℃ until 4 hours post-resuscitation, followed by a re-warming rate of 1 ℃/h for 4 hours in the LIpostC+TH group. Normal temperature was maintained in the control and LIpostC groups. The resuscitation outcomes in each group were recorded during CPR. At 15 minutes prior to CA (baseline) and during 4 hours post-resuscitation, the level of arterial lactate was measured and PaO2/FiO2 was calculated, and extra-vascular lung water index (EVLWI) and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) were measured meanwhile by a PiCCO monitor. At 15 minutes prior to CA (baseline) and during 24 hours post-resuscitation, the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results Six animals in each group were successfully resuscitated. Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP), duration of resuscitation, number of shocks and epinephrine dosage during CPR were not statistically significant among the three groups. The baseline of arterial lactate, PaO2/FiO2, EVLWI, PVPI and cytokines prior to CA were also not statistically significant among the three groups. The levels of serum TNF-α and IL-6 after resuscitation were gradually increased in all the three groups; however, the values of TNF-αand IL-6 were significantly lower in the LIpostC and LIpostC+TH groups than that in the control group, and they were further decreased in the LIpostC+TH group when compared to the LIpostC group [TNF-α (ng/L): 305±22 vs. 343±26 at 4 hours, 350±29 vs. 389±18 at 24 hours; IL-6 (ng/L): 239±14 vs. 263±19 at 24 hours, all P < 0.05]. The levels of lactate reached the peak at 2 hours post-resuscitation and then gradually decreased in all the three groups; it finally returned to the baseline in the LIpostC and LIpostC+TH groups, which was markedly lower than that in the control group (mmol/L: 1.4±0.7, 1.2±0.3 vs. 3.1±1.7, both P < 0.05). During 4 hours post-resuscitation, PaO2/FiO2 was significantly higher and EVLWI and PVPI were markedly lower in the LIpostC and LIpostC+TH groups than that in the control group; additionally, PaO2/FiO2 and EVLWI were further improved in the LIpostC+TH group than the LIpostC group [4-hour PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 391±26 vs. 361±20; 4-hour EVLWI (mL/kg): 10.1±1.5 vs. 12.1±1.2, both P < 0.05]. Conclusion LIpostC can be used to alleviate systemic inflammatory response and lung injury after porcine CA and CPR, and its combination with TH further enhanced its protective effects.

Objective To explore the role of resolvin D1 in reducing brain injury after porcine cardiopulmonary resuscitation and its potential mechanisms.Methods Twenty-eight male domestic pigs weighing (36 ±3)kg were utilized.The animals were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =7 each):sham operation group (group S),cardiopulmonary resuscitation group (group CPR),low-dose resolvin D1 gToup (group LRD),and high-dose resolvin D1 group (group HRD).The animals in group S only got the general preparation without the procedure of cardiac arrest and resuscitation.The pig model was established by 8 mins of untreated ventricular fibrillation and then 5 mins of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.At 5 min post-resuscitation,the doses of resolvin D10.3 μg/kg,and 0.6 μg/kg were correspondingly injected via the femoral vein in LRD and HRD groups,and meanwhile the same amount of vehicle was given into the animals inthe other two groups.At 3 h,6 h and 24 h post-resuscitation,the concentrations of neuron specific enolase (NSE) and S100B protein (S100B) in serum was measured.At 24 h post-resuscitation,neurological deficit score (NDS) was evaluated;thereafter the pigs were sacrificed,and cerebral cortex was obtained for the determination of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6),and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents,and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity.Results Compared to group S,post-resuscitation brain injury was observed in the other three groups,which was indicated by significantly increased NDS score,and markedly elevated concentrations of serum NSE and S100B.Compared to group CPR,the NDS was significantly decreased at 24 h post-resuscitation,and the concentrations of serum NSE and S100B were significantly reduced at 6 h and 24 h post-resuscitation in LRD and HRD groups.Compared to group LRD,the NDS score and its serum markers were further significantly decreased in group HRD.The inflammatory response and oxidative stress in brain tissue were observed in all the animals experiencing cardiac arrest and resuscitation,which were indicated by increased contents of TNF-α,IL-6 and MDA and decreased SOD activity.Compared to group CPR,the contents of TNF-α,IL-6 and MDA were significantly decreasedwhile SOD activity was significantly increased in LRD and HRD groups.The indicators of inflammatory response and oxidative stress in brain tissue were further significantly improved in group HRD when compared to group LRD.Conclusions Resolvin D1 can reduce post-resuscitation brain injury in a dose-dependent manner in swine,and the mechanism is related to the inhibition of inflammatory response and oxidative stress.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the change of pathogen distribution and antibiotic resistance of pathogens isolated from in-patients with hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) in the Department of Respiratory Medicine Intensive Care Unit (RICU) of Xiangya Hospital in 2005 and in 2011, and to provide reasonable anti-infectious strategy.
METHODS:
The positive susceptibility test of sputum (bronchial secretions) culture was done in patients with HAP in RICU of Xiangya Hospital in 2005 and in 2011, and the distribution feature and antibiotic resistance were compared.
RESULTS:
1) In the two years, the main pathogen in HAP patients was Gram negative bacteria (infection rate was 68.07% and 65.21% in 2005 and in2011 respectively). The primary pathogenic bacteria were changed, and Acinetobacter baumanii became the most common Gram negative bacterium which replaced Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with infection rate 6.81% in 2005 to 40.87% in 2011. The infection rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa reduced from 20.42% in 2005 to 15.60% in 2011. Haemophilus influenzae was rare. Staphylococcus aureus became the primary Gram positive bacteria, and its infection rate increased from 1.57% in 2005 to 4.83% in 2011, all of which were methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Saccharomyces albicans' positive culture rate increased significantly. 2) Compared with in 2005, the antibiotic resistance of pathogen isolated from the HAP pationts changed a lot in 2011: increased antibiotic resistance rate and decreased sensitivity to many antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was only relatively susceptible to meropenem, cefoperazone sulbactam, ceftazidime, cefpodoxime, and andamicaxin in 2011. The resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to levofloxacin, cyclopropane, amicacin, gentamicin, meropenem, cematrixone, and piperacilintazobactam increased obviously (P<0.05). Compared with 2005, Acinetobacter baumanii was totally susceptible to polymyxin and relatively susceptible to sulbactam, but it was almost completely resistant to Aminoglycoside antibiotics in 2011, with significant difference (P<0.01).
CONCLUSION
The main pathogen of HAP patients in RICU was Gram negative bacteria, with increased infection rate of Staphylococcus aureus and fungus. There is change pathogen distribution and antibiotic resistance, and the clinical initial experimental antibiotic therapy may be influenced. It is important to use antibiotics more rationally to delay the antibiotic resistance.

OBJECTIVETo assess the value of stent-assistant angioplasty for intracranial vascular diseases.
METHODSThirteen patients with intracranial vascular diseases were treated consecutively by stent-assistant angioplasty for different purposes. Of these patients 7 had symptomatic intracranial artery stenosis, 3 intracranial wide-neck aneurysms, 2 intracranial pseudoaneurysms, and 1 bilateral transverse sinus stenosis. Clinical procedures and technical data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTSIn the 7 patients, the degree of intracranial artery stenosis reduced from 83% to 5%. Three months after the operation they exhibited good patency of stented lesions. Intracranial wide neck aneurysms (with 2 pseudoaneurysms) were successfully embolized with GDC in 5 patients. The patients with bilateral transverse sinus stenosis were implanted a self-expanded stent in the right transverse sinus. One patient failed because of the tortuous configuration of the left jugular bulb, but the patient's symptoms were improved quickly after the procedure.
CONCLUSIONStent-assistant angioplasty is a useful technique for selected intracranial vascular diseases, and it needs further investigation.
