Objective To study the changes of P-selectin and E-selectin in pediatric patients with critical illness ,and analyze their relationship with the severity and prognosis of diseases.Methods Forprospective study,42 critically ill patients admitted in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU ) from September,2012 to March,2013 as critically ill group were enrolled,and blood specimens were collected with 24 hours after admission.Another 42 cases blood samples were collected from children's physical examination as control group.The severity of the critically ill patients were evaluated by Pediatric Critical illness Score (PICS)and Pediatric risk of score mortality (PRISM)-III.The levels of serum P-selectin and serum E-selectin were measured by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunoassay (ABC-ELISA). Results P-selectin and E-selectin in control group children and critically ill patients group were (37.23 ± 8.99)ng/mL,(36.24 ±17.82)ng/mL,and (107.24 ±35.53)ng/mL,(114.93 ±40.17)ng/mL, respectively.There were statistical differences between two groups (P=0.000).The levels of P-selectin and E-selectin in acute phase were higher than that of levels in recovery phase in critically ill group (P =0.000).Negative correlation was observed between P-selectin concentration and the PCIS score (r =-0.673,P=0.000),as well as E-selectin (r=-0.548,P=0.000).P-selectin level and E-selectin level based upon PRISMⅢ≥10 group were significantly higher than they in PRISMⅢ <10 group (P=0.003,P=0.014).In critically ill children,the differences in P-selectin,E-selectin were significant higher in death patients (P=0.003;P =0.000).Compared with the non-sepsis illness group,the level of P-selectin and E-selectin in the severe sepsis patients were significantly higher (P =0.04,P =0.025 ). Conclusions The levels of P-selectin and E-selectin are closely related to the severity and prognosis in critically ill children.Measuring the level of P-selectin and E-selectin could be used as a judegment the severity and to understand pathological physiological process.

Objective:
To explore the therapeutic role of bedside continuous blood purification(CBP) in children with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).
Method:
The clinical and laboratory data of 11 children with SAP who were admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of Shanghai Children′s Hospital from June 2013 to May 2016 were analyzed, including using pediatric critical illness score (PCIS) and pediatric risk of score mortality (PRISM)-Ⅲ score to assessing the severity of the disease.For those patients with severe organ dysfunction, CBP treatment was used when conventional therapy was not efficient.The evolution and prognosis of the disease were observed and analyzed.The measurement data were analyzed by Wilcoxon signed rank test.
Result:
From June 2013 to May 2016, 11 cases with SAP were treated in PICU, of whom 7 cases had combined multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS). After conservative treatment for 12-24 h, 6 cases with SAP deteriorated aggressively and were treated with CBP.PRISMA and PRISMA flex machines were used with Gambro PRISMA filter, and continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration(CVVHDF) or high volume hemofiltration (HVHF) were chosen as the therapy model.All 6 SAP patients survived after bedside CBP treatment(the median time spent on CBP were 48.5(48.0, 55.5) h). The serum concentration of amylase before and after the CBP treatment were respectively 675(495, 1 334)

Objective:To explore the transition from hospital discharge to home care in heart transplant recipients based on the Meleis' transition theory, so as to provide a basis for improving the quality of life of recipients.Methods:In July 2021, purposeful sampling was used to select heart transplant recipients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine as the research subject. A total of 12 recipients of one year after heart transplantation were selected for semi-structured interviews by snowballing. The interview data were analyzed using the Colaizzi 7-step method.Results:Through reading, analysis, sorting and summarizing, 4 themes and 11 sub-themes were extracted, namely, relatively stable recovery of physical condition, lack of medication and emotional management (unmet needs for medication cognition and management, good physical condition, early emotional experience of vulnerability) , the support of family and social resources affected the transition (the communication and support of patients promoted the transition, the support of the family promoted the transition, the lack of community resources hindered the transition, and the reimbursement policy affected the transition) , a positive experience in the transition (confidence to deal with future life, return to society and self-realization) , and expecting to obtain comprehensive and continuous management of body and mind (the needs of nursing care centered on mental health, the needs of professional management teams and the communication platform among doctors, nurses and patients) .Conclusions:The experience of home self-care after discharge has many physical and psychological impacts on heart transplant recipients. It is necessary to pay attention to the recipients in the transition period, and to build a whole-of-society support system to give help to heart transplant recipients.

Discussing the cognition, attitude and influencing factors of the family members of organ donors towards advance care planning (ACP) to provide a basis for the further promotion of ACP in the field of organ donation. Using qualitative research methods, 8 family members of organ donors were selected purposefully for semi-structured interviews, and the 7-step of Colaizzi was used to analyze and summarize the themes of the interview data. The results showed that the cognition status of the family members of organ donors of ACP could be summarized into 3 themes: problems faced by ACP implementation, positive recognition of the implementation of ACP, factors affecting the promotion of ACP. Organ donors’ family members are unfamiliar with the concept of ACP and have unclear cognition, but think that the implementation of ACP is of positive significance. It is suggested to further strengthen the publicity of ACP, medical autonomy, death education, so as to promote the development of ACP and improve the willing to donate organ.

OBJECTIVETo assess the value of central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference [ P( cv-a) CO₂] in evaluation of disease severity and prognosis in children with septic shock who already had central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO₂) higher than 70% after early resuscitation.
METHODIn this prospective study, 48 septic shock children seen in Shanghai Children's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University were enrolled from Jun 2012 to May 2014. 36(75.0%) were male, 12 (25.0%) were female, the average age was (31.9 ± 24.5) months. The critically ill patients with septic shock were treated to achieve ScvO₂greater than 70% depending on early goal-directed therapy (EGDT). All patients were divided into two groups, based on P(cv-a)CO₂, low P(cv-a)CO₂group with P(cv-a)CO₂< 6 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) and high P(cv-a)CO₂group with P(cv-a)CO₂≥ 6 mmHg. The parameters of hemodynamics including mean blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), central venous pressure (CVP), perfusion-related parameters [ScvO₂, P(cv-a)CO₂, serum lactate (Lac), Lac clearance rate], pediatric critical illness score, PRISMIII score, and 28 days in-hospital mortality were recorded for all patients.
RESULTOf the 48 cases with septic shock whose ScvO₂was higher than 70%, 17 patients (35.4%) had high P(cv-a)CO₂( ≥ 6 mmHg) and 31 (65.6%) had lower P(cv-a)CO₂(<6 mmHg). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups of patients in age, PRISMIII score and PCIS (P > 0.05 ), but Lac and P(cv-a)CO₂values were significantly different ( P < 0.05). Low P(cv-a) CO₂group patients had lower 28 days mortality than high P(cv-a) CO₂group[11/17 vs. 32.3% (10/31), P < 0.05]; 24 h after resuscitation, compared with high P(cv-a) CO₂group, low P(cv-a) CO₂group patients had lower Lac values [(2.0 ± 1.3) vs.( 2.7 ± 1.2) mmol/L, P < 0.05]. Low P(cv-a) CO₂group patients had shorter duration of vasoactive drugs use [(16 ± 14) vs. (44 ± 21)h, P < 0.05], 24 h Lac clearance rate was significantly higher for low P(cv-a) CO₂group than for high P(cv-a) CO₂group[ (31 ± 10) % vs. (26 ± 6)%, P < 0.05].
CONCLUSIONWhen ScvO₂> 70% was achieved after early resuscitation in septic shock children, P(cv-a) CO₂is a sensitive biomarker to assess tissue perfusion, and high P(cv-a) CO₂group patients had poor outcome.
