Objective To investigate the corelationship between proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and the incidence of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in abdominal surgical patients. Methods A total of 283 cases admitted from 2010 to 2014 were divided into PPI group (n = 326) and HRA group (n = 92). In PPI group, patients were divided into omeprazole subgroup (subgroup A, n = 146), lansoprazole subgroup (subgroup B, n = 102) and pantoprazole subgroup (subgroup C, n = 78) by the types of PPI. In HRA group, patients were divided into famotidine subgroup (subgroup D, n = 58) and ranitidine subgroup (subgroup E, n=34) by the types of histamine-2 receptor antagonist (H2RA). The incidence of stress ulcer bleeding (SUB) and HAP were calculated, while mechanical ventilation period (MV), ICU stay and 28-day-mortality were compared. Results There were lower incidences of SUB and HAP, shorter MV and ICU stay and lower 28-day-mortality in PPI group than those in HRA group (P < 0.05). In three subgroups of PPI group, there were no significant difference on incidence rate of SUB and HAP, as well as MV, ICU stay and 28-day-mortality. Conclusion The incidence rates of SUB and HAP are lower by using PPI than H2RA in abdominal surgical patients, as well as MV, ICU stay and 28-day-mortality. Different types of PPI have no effect on the incidence rate of HAP in abdominal surgical patients.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious clinical problem with high morbidity and mortality. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is an important tool for treating patients with AKI. The 2011 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guideline for AKI points out that RRT should be discontinued when renal function has recovered enough to meet the body needs or when RRT is no longer consistent with treatment goals. However, the specific reference index of weaning RRT is unclear. The guiding roles of traditional indicators such as urine output (> 400 mL/24 h), serum creatinine (SCr, decreasing trend), creatinine clearance (CCr, > 20 mL/min), and novel biomarkers such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), interleukins (IL-6, IL-10), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), kynurenic acid, etc. for discontinuation of RRT in AKI patients were reviewed. Particularly, the importance of biomarkers for this purpose was highlighted.

Postoperative hypothyroidism is the most common complication following thyroidectomy,and thyroxine replacement is needed to maintain thyroid function.Levothyroxine (L-T4) is the preferred drug for the treatment of hypothyroidism.L-T4 therapy can be initiated immediately after thyroid operation,and the dosages are influenced by target serum TSH and several other factors.Special consideration should be taken for such patients,including patients with poor compliance,during pregnancy,and elderly patients.Thyroid function should be measured every 4 to 6 weeks,optimal dosages are adjusted according to target serum TSH individually,avoiding under-treatment or over-treatment.T3 in divided doses or L-T4/T3 combination therapy can be served as alternative for those failed to L-T4 therapy alone.

ObjectiveTo assess the differential diagnostic value of serum intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP)in distinguishing intestinal ischemia patients from acute abdomen patients.MethodsA total of 151 patients with acute abdomen and 17 healthy controls from the PLA General Hospital were enrolled from November,2009 to August,2011. Serum I-FABP levels were measured by ELISA.According to the ROC curve,the cut-off value,sensitivity,specificity,positive likelihood ratio (PLR),negative likelihood ratio ( NLR),positive predietive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated. ResultsOf the 151 acute abdomen patients,there were 24 intestinal ischemia patients and 127 without intestinal ischemia.Serum I-FABP level in intestinal ischemia group [( 109.67 ±48.82) μg/L]was significantly higher than those in patients without intestinal ischemia [(36.78 ± 11.25) μg/L]and healthy controls[(8.33 ±6.25) μg/L]( all P values <0.01 ).The serum I-FABP cut-off value for the diagnosis of intestinal ischemia was 87.52 μg/L.Serum I-FABP was efficient in terms of sensitivity (0.762),NPV(0.963),PLR(3.05) and NLR (0.24) in the diagnosis of intestinal ischemia.ConclusionI-FABP is potentially useful for discriminating intestinal ischemia from acute abdomen.
