Objective:To investigate the value of bedside transthoracic echocardiography(TTE) in volume reactivity assessment of children with septic shock.Methods:A total of 41 children aged from 1 to 5 years with septic shock requiring mechanical ventilation admitted to PICU from January 2017 to June 2020 were prospectively included.Under the condition of complete mechanical ventilation, full sedation and analgesia, and no spontaneous breathing(tidal volume 8 to 10 mL/kg), volume expansion was given to children.Hemodynamic indexs such as cardiac index(CI), stroke volume index(SVI) and stroke volume variability(SVV) were measured before and after volume expansion by noninvasive cardiac output monitoring(NICOM) and TTE.Moreover, aortic flow velocity time integral variable degrees(ΔVTI), inferior vena cava variability(ΔIVC) and inferior vena cava dilation index(dIVC) were also measured by TTE.Patients were considered to be responsive to volume expansion if SVI NICOMincreased≥15%.Based on the responsiveness of volume expansion, all the patients were divided into response group and non-response group.The value of SVV TTE, ΔVTI, ΔIVC, dIVC, ΔCVP and SVV NICOMin predicting volume responsiveness were analysed. Results:(1) There were 23 cases in response group and 18 cases in non-response group.Before volume expansion, there were no statistically significant differences in general hemodynamic indexes HR, MAP, CVP, EF, CI NICOM, and CI TTEbetween two groups( P>0.05). (2) In response group, HR, MAP, CI, SVI and CVP were all improved after volume expansion( P<0.001). In non-response group, only CVP was significantly increased after volume expansion, while other indexes were not improved( P>0.05). (3)Before the volume expansion, SVV TTE, ΔVTI, ΔIVC, and dIVC in response group were higher than those in non-response group( P<0.001). After volume expansion, these indicators were significantly reduced in response group.In non-response group, only ΔIVC significantly reduced after volume expansion.(4) The receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of SVV TTEand ΔVTI was 0.971, with 12.04% as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.957 and the specificity was 0.944. The area under the curve of ΔIVC was 0.981, with 25.98% as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.870 and the specificity was 1.000.The area under the curve of dIVC was 0.980, with 29.86% as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.870 and the specificity was 1.000. The area under the curve of ΔCVP was 0.778, with 2.5 cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa) as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.913 and the specificity was 0.556. The area under the curve of SVV NICOMwas 0.874, with 12.50% as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.869 and the specificity was 0.778. Conclusion:The dynamic indexes SVV, ΔVTI, ΔIVC and dIVC monitored by TTE have good accuracy in evaluating children′s volume responsiveness, among which the accuracy of ΔIVC and dIVC is relatively the highest; the value of ΔCVP in predicting volume responsiveness is limited.

OBJECTIVE To study the way in which hypidone hydrochloride(code:YL-0919)improves motor function after ischemic stroke(IS)and explore the related mechanism.METHODS Adult male SD rats were used to establish a middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)model that simulated acute IS.All animals were randomly divided into four groups:sham group,MCAO group,MCAO+YL-0919 group,and MCAO+YL-0919+erastin(Era,ferroptosis inducer)group.The drug administration groups received the first ip injection 6 h after operation,followed by continuous ip injection once per day.After 7-10 d of drug administration,the effect of YL-0919 on motor function after IS were evaluated via neu-rological function test,adhesive-removal test,rotarod test,balance beam test and open field test.After 7 d of drug administration,TTC staining was used to detect the cerebral infarction area while the colo-rimetry method was used to measure the contents of glutathione(GSH),malondialdehyde(MDA),and ferrous ions(Fe2+)in the penumbra of the cerebral cortex.Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4),solute carrier family 7 member 11(xCT),acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4(ACSL4),and transferrin receptor 1(TFR1)in the cortical penumbra.RESULTS Compared with the sham group,the MCAO group showed higher neurological function scores(P<0.01),with notably prolonged time for tape removal and first contact with the right forepaw(P<0.01),spent significantly more time crossing the balance beam(P<0.01)but endured a notably shorter duration on the rotarod(P<0.01),reduced the movement distance in the open field(P<0.01),had a remarkably increased infarct area(P<0.01)but significantly level of GSH in the cortical penumbra region decreased(P<0.01),while MDA and Fe2+levels were markedly increased(P<0.01).Protein expression levels of GPX4 and xCT were reduced(P<0.05),while those of ACSL4 and TFR1 were elevated(P<0.05).Compared with the MCAO group,these changes were significantly reversed after YL-0919 administration.However,when Era and YL-0919 were administered simultaneously,the reversal effect of YL-0919 was significantly weakened.CONCLUSION YL-0919 can improve motor function impairment and reduce cerebral infarction areas in rats after IS,and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of ferroptosis.
