Objective To investigate the effect and monitoring point of continuous veno-venous hemofil-tration (CVVH) in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Methods In 22 patients with MODS,a double lumen catheter was put into the central vein,and the CWH was performed with the BRAUN Diapact CRRT. The level of BUN,Scr,serum potassium and arterial blood gas were measured 30 minutes before and after CVVH. The plasma TNF-α、IL-1、IL-8 were measured by ELISA. Vital signs were monitored dur-hag treatment process. Results The vital signs of all patients` was stable, the levels of BUN,Scr and serum potassium decreased significantly after CVVH. The plasma concentrations of TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-8 gradually decreased. Conclusions CWH can improve the blood biochemical markers,remove inflammatory cytokines in plasma,stsblize the vital signs during treatment,which is suitable for patients with MODS.

Objectiveto investigate the differential expression of intestinal flora and serum metabolites and potential biomarkers in patients with pre-diabetic sputum syndrome. MethodA total of 34 patients with pre-diabetic sputum syndrome were included as the phlegm syndrome group,and 37 healthy people were selected as the normal group. Serum and fecal samples of the two groups were collected,and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) non-targeted metabolomics and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology were used to detect serum metabolites and different intestinal flora of the two groups and explore the relationship among pre-diabetic sputum syndrome,serum metabolites,and intestinal flora. ResultIn the distribution of disease syndrome elements in the phlegm syndrome group,the first five disease syndrome elements in terms of frequency and proportion were dampness (73.53%),Qi stagnation (58.82%),Yin deficiency (50.00%),blood stasis (41.18%),and heat (35.29%). According to the frequency and proportion of disease location syndrome elements,the first three main disease location syndrome elements were spleen (100.00%),liver (41.18%),and kidney (23.53%). The results of 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing showed that there were 44 different intestinal flora between the two groups. In order genus,there were significant differences in Bifidobacterium,Veillonococcus,and Roseococcus between the two groups (P<0.05). The diversity,abundance,and evenness of intestinal flora in the phlegm syndrome group were lower than those in the normal group,with the difference not statistically significant. There was no significant difference in the community structure between two groups. The results of serum metabolomics showed that there were 13 differential metabolites in the two groups,which were mainly concentrated in amino acid metabolism,bile secretion,bile acid biosynthesis,and lipid metabolism (P<0.05). The correlation among differential metabolites,intestinal flora,and syndrome elements was analyzed,and the results showed that ① lysine was positively correlated with spleen,Yin deficiency,and blood stasis,while taurocholic acid was positively correlated with liver,kidney,blood stasis,and dampness,and there was a positive correlation between taurocholic acid and yin deficiency and heat. The taurochenodeoxycholic acid was positively correlated with liver and dampness,and there was a negative correlation between arachidonic acid and dampness,as well as a positive correlation between glucose and spleen and blood stasis. ② Clostridium was positively correlated with spleen,kidney,Yin deficiency,and Qi stagnation. Rosepiella was negatively correlated with spleen,and Sutterella was negatively correlated with dampness. Bacteroides was negatively correlated with the spleen and kidney,and Bifidobacterium was negatively correlated with the spleen and dampness. ③ Bifidobacterium was positively correlated with glycine,threonine,lysine,and deoxycholic acid significantly,negatively correlated with cholic acid significantly,and positively correlated with taurochenodeoxycholic acid and pyruvic acid. Clostridium was positively correlated with glycine significantly and positively correlated with threonine and lysine. Lachnospira was negatively correlated with glycine,threonine,and pyruvic acid. Lysine was also negatively correlated with Faecalibacterium and Eubacterium ventriosum and positively correlated with Megamonas. There was a positive correlation between taurocholic acid and glycine bile acid and Campylobacter,between taurochenodeoxycholic acid and Veillonococcus,and between glucose and Rosepiella and Eubacterium ventriosum. There was a negative correlation between pyruvic acid and Escheria-Shigella and between taurochenodeoxycholic acid and Prevotella. Conclusionthere are differences in intestinal flora and serum metabolites between patients with pre-diabetic sputum syndrome and healthy people. The intestinal flora and metabolites have been disturbed in the stage of pre-diabetes,Bifidobacterium,Clostridium,Lachnospira,glycine,threonine,and lysine may be the breakthrough to explore the development of pre-diabetic sputum syndrome.

From the perspective of state differentiation and treatment, it is believed that the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is that evil poisons injured the lungs, and the lung qi suddenly collapsed, then blocked and exhausted, and the qi failure to control blood and liquid, then the fluids overflow outside the vessels, and damp phlegm, stasis, and toxins became knotted up in the body, which ultimately leads to qi dysfunction, and a series of symptom arise, so qi impairment is the principal mechanism of ARDS. A combination of Chinese and Western medicine was proposed to treat ARDS by combining tangible qi and intangible qi, using Chinese herbal medicine to boost qi and relieve collapse, percolate and drain dampness with bland medicinals, resolve toxins and dissolve stasis, and regulate qi, and combining with Western medicine to assist qi circulation to improve qi's consolidation, propulsion, and transformation, so as to make the evil qi go away, the positive qi restored, the viscera qi circulated, qi, blood, yin, and yang connected, and the activities of life maintained, and thus to achieve the goal of treating ARDS by integrated Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
