Objective To compare the accuracy of ultrasound,pulse indicator continuous cardiac output monitoring (PiCCO) and traditional methods in predicting fluid responsiveness in septic patients.Methods Forty-six septic patients of both sexes,aged 18-72 yr,requiring mechanical ventilation treatment in the intensive care unit,were enrolled in the study.Venous blood samples were collected for determination of plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentrations by chemiluminescence assay,and central venous pressure (CVP) was recorded.Stroke volume variation (SVVTTE),distensibility index of inferior vena cava (dIVC) and velocity time integral changes of aortic blood flow (△VTI) were measured by ultrasound method.SVVPiCCO and global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI) were measured by PiCCO method.The patients were divided into negative fluid responsiveness group and positive fluid responsiveness group according to the fluid responsiveness after volume expansion.The receiver operating characteristic curves of the parameters mentioned above in predicting fluid responsiveness were drawn.A consistency check for dIVC,△VTI and SVVPiCCO thresholds was conducted by using Kappa statistics.The agreement between SVVTTEand SVVPiCCO was analyzed by the Bland-Altman analysis.Results There were 24 patients in positive fluid responsiveness group and 22 patients in negative fluid responsiveness group.Compared with negative fluid responsiveness group,the plasma BNP concentration,CVP and GEDVI were significantly decreased,and SVVPiCCO,SVVTTE,dIVC and △VTI were increased before volume expansion in positive fluid responsiveness group (P＜0.05).The area under the curve (95％ confidence interval),sensitivity and specificity of the plasma BNP concentration were 0.894 (0.807-0.981),81.8％ and 79.2％,respectively,of CVP 0.859 (0.752-0.965),81.8％ and 79.2％,respectively,of GEDVI 0.772 (0.628-0.915),72.7％ and 75.0％,respectively,of SVVPiCCO 0.965 (0.922-1.008),95.8％ and 81.8％,respectively,of SVVTTE 0.940 (0.874--1.006),91.7％ and 86.4％,respectively,of dIVC 0.964 (0.920-1.008),83.3％ and 95.5％,respectively,and of △VTI 0.958 (0.909-1.008),87.5％ and 90.9％,respectively.The Kappa value for dIVC threshold and SVVPiCCO threshold was 0.826,and for △VTI threshold and SVVPiCCO threshold was 0.743 (P＜0.01).The mean deviation of SVVTTE and SVVPiCCO was 0.209,95％ confidence interval (-2.967-3.385)％,and the limit of agreement (-2.46-2.62)％ (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Ultrasound and PiCCO methods can accurately predict fluid responsiveness,have a good agreement and are superior to the traditional method in septic patients.

Objective To explore the value of predicting fluid responsiveness using velocity time index variation (△VTI) and stroke volume variation (△SV) before and after passive leg raising (PLR)monitored by bedside temporary test equipment (TTE).Methods A cohort of 42 patients supported with mechanical ventilation in our hospital admitted from October 2014 to October 2015 were prospectively selected.The hemodynamic variables including heart rate (HR),mean arterial pressure (MAP),central venous pressure (CVP),VTI,SV and other parameters were monitored before and after after undergoing PLR.Fluid resuscitation volume expansion test was carried out after stroke volume index (SVI) monitored by pulse indicator continuous cardiac output monitoring (PICCO).Patients were divided into fluid responsiveness positive group and fluid responsiveness negative group according to presence or absence of SVI ≥ 15％ after fluid resuscitation volume expansion.Results Of 42 patients,22 belonged to fluid responsiveness positive group,20 got into fluid responsiveness negative group.There were no significant differences in basic clinical data between two groups.Before and after PLR,there were no distinct changes in HR and CVP (P ＞ 0.05),while MAP,VTI and SV increased significantly (P ＜ 0.05) after PLR in fluid responsiveness positive group.Contrarily,there were no noticeable changes in MAP and SV after PLR (P ＞ 0.05),but HR,CVP and VTI increased significantly (P ＜ 0.05) in fluid responsiveness negative group.The degrees of △VTI and △SV in fluid responsiveness positive group were much higher than those in fluid responsiveness negative group (P ＜0.05).According to SVI ≥ 15％ monitored by PICCO after fluid resuscitation volume expansion test as a standard,the area under the ROC (AUC) of △VTI between prePLR and post-PLR was 0.75 (95％ CI:O.593-0.907,P ＜ 0.01),the sensitivity and specificity were 63.6％ and 95％ respectively using △VTI 15.6％ as threshold value.The AUC of △SV was 0.844 (95％CI:O.716-0.972,P ＜0.01),the sensitivity and specificity were 81.8％ and 85.0％ respectively using △SV 10.5％ as threshold value.Conclusion △VTI and △SV monitored by TTE before and after PLR could be employed for predicting fluid responsiveness of critical patients under the status of spontaneous respiration.Their value for prediction of critical patients could be further improved by combined employment of these two indexes of variation.

Objective The objective of this study was to compare the short-term efficacy and adverse reactions of nituzum-ab combined with synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy and bevacizumab combined with synchronous radiotherapy and chemo-therapy in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer.Methods A total of 100 locally advanced cervical cancer patients with pathological type of squamous cell carcinoma were collected from 1 September 2020 to 31 December 2021.They were divided into a control group(synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy group),a nituzumab group(nituzumab combined synchronous radiotherapy group)and a bevacizumab group(bevacizumab combined synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy group).The total effective rate of short-term treatment,changes in tumor volume before and after treatment,serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen(SCC)levels be-fore and after treatment,and adverse reactions after treatment were compared among patients of the three groups.Results The short-term total effective rates of the Nitro group,Bevar group and control group were 90.3％,87.2％and 60.0％,respectively.The total effective rates of the Nitro and Bevar groups were significantly higher than those of the control group,and the differences were statisti-cally significant(P＜0.001).There was no statistically significant difference in the total effective rates of the Nitro and Bevar groups(P＞0.05);The degree of tumor volume reduction and SCC reduction in the Nituo group and Bevac group after treatment was higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The incidence of hypertension in the Bevar group was 33.4％,significantly higher than that in the control group(10.0％)and the Ni-tro group(12.9％)(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of hypertension between the Nito group and the control group(P＞0.05);There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among the three groups except hypertension(P＞0.05).Conclusion Nituzumab combined with synchronous radiotherapy and chemothera-py,as well as bevacizumab combined with synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy,can improve the short-term efficacy of locally advanced cervical cancer,effectively reduce tumor volume and inhibit the expression of tumor markers,both of which are superior to synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy alone.Compared to bevacizumab,nituzumab has fewer adverse reactions.For patients with locally advanced cervical cancer,the combination of nituzumab and concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy is more reliable in terms of safety.
