Objective:To investigate the effects of continuous blood purification (CBP) on mitochondrial function of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and clinical prognosis of patients with traumatic sepsis.Methods:A prospective cohort study was used to analyze the clinical data of 90 patients with traumatic sepsis admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Shaoxing People′s Hospital from January 2023 to June 2024. Based on standard operating procedures (SOP), patients were divided into CBP group and non-CBP group according to whether they received CBP treatment. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number, activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex V, levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 in the mononuclear cells on ICU admission and at 12, 24 and 48 hours after treatment were compared between the two groups. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score on ICU admission and at 48 hours after treatment were detected in the two groups. The length of ICU stay, total length of hospital stay and 28-day mortality after ICU admission were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 90 patients with traumatic sepsis were included, comprising 56 males and 34 females, aged 18-82 years [51.3(38.7, 70.6)years], with injury severity score (ISS) of 16-54 points [36.2(17.0, 53.6)points]. There were 52 patients in the CBP group and 38 in the non-CBP group. All the patients were followed up for 7-14 days [10.0(8.0, 12.0)days]. On ICU admission, the mtDNA copy number was 638.5±124.0 in the CBP group and 634.7±122.1 in the non-CBP group ( P>0.05). At 12, 24 and 48 hours after treatment, the mtDNA copy number in the CBP group was 564.2±105.6, 415.7±83.5 and 303.7±77.0 respectively, significantly lower than 622.9±120.2, 581.5±113.6, 530.7±97.8 in the non-CBP group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). At 12, 24 and 48 hours after treatment, the mtDNA copy number in both groups continued to decrease compared with that on ICU admission ( P<0.05). On ICU admission, the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex Ⅴ was (74.0±26.0)pg/ml in the CBP group and (72.8±25.3)pg/ml in the non-CBP group ( P>0.05); at 12, 24 and 48 hours after treatment, it was (69.4±24.2)pg/ml, (78.3±26.8)pg/ml and (91.5±33.5)pg/ml respectively in the CBP group, significantly higher than (65.3±23.6)pg/ml, (60.7±19.4)pg/ml and (53.8±16.9)pg/ml in the non-CBP group ( P<0.05 or 0.01); at 12 hours after treatment, it was decreased in both groups compared with that on ICU admission ( P<0.05); at 24 and 48 hours after treatment, it was gradually increased in the CBP group compared with those on ICU admission and at 12 hours after treatment ( P<0.05), while in the non-CBP group, it continued to decrease ( P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 on ICU admission were (51.6±17.1)pg/ml, (174.1±57.3)pg/ml and (67.6±16.2)pg/ml respectively in the CBP group and (49.5±16.7)pg/ml, (177.8±58.7)pg/ml and (65.7±16.6)pg/ml respectively in the non-CBP group ( P>0.05). At 12, 24 and 48 hours after treatment, the levels of TNF-α in the CBP group were (43.6±15.6)pg/ml, (29.4±12.5)pg/ml and (26.2±10.6)pg/ml respectively, the IL-6 levels were (122.4±41.7)pg/ml, (90.6±33.1)pg/ml, (75.6±24.7)pg/ml respectively and the IL-10 levels were (72.6±18.1)pg/ml, (80.7±20.6)pg/ml, (86.2±22.9)pg/ml respectively, which were significantly lower than (48.8±16.2)pg/ml, (46.5±15.5)pg/ml, (40.0±14.2)pg/ml at 12 hours after treatment, (168.4±51.6)pg/ml, (131.5±42.7)pg/ml, (112.7±35.8)pg/ml at 24 hours after treatment, and (78.6±19.3)pg/ml, (91.1±23.8)pg/ml, (99.4±26.6)pg/ml at 48 hours after treatment in the non-CBP group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). At 12, 24 and 48 hours after treatment, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in both groups continued to decrease, while the levels of IL-10 continued to increase compared with those on ICU admission ( P<0.05). On ICU admission, the APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA scores were (20.6±10.5)points and (6.2±1.9)points in the CBP group and (21.2±11.2)points and (6.7±2.1)points in the non-CBP group ( P>0.05). At 48 hours after treatment, the APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA scores were (13.5±6.6)points and (2.7±0.6)points in the CBP group, which were significantly lower than (18.3±9.3)points and (5.3±1.5)points in the non-CBP group ( P<0.01). At 48 hours after treatment, the APACHE II and SOFA scores in both groups were significantly decreased compared with those on ICU admission ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The length of ICU stay, total length of hospital stay and 28-day mortality after ICU admission were (13.0±5.7)days, (20.4±8.6)days and 19.2% (10/52) respectively, which were significantly shorter and smaller than (17.6±6.6)days, (26.5±9.4)days and 31.6% (12/38) in the non-CBP group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions:CBP treatment may reduce the release of mtDNA by alleviating the mitochondrial damage of the mononuclear cells in patients with traumatic sepsis so that the release of inflammatory factors and cellular apoptosis is reduced, and improve the state of cell energy metabolism and cellular immune function by increasing the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex V in the mononuclear cells, and participate in the reconstruction of immune homeostasis of the body so the inflammatory state and clinical prognosis of the patients are improved.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of teacher simulate standardized patient (TSSP) consultation training in pediatric practical teaching.Methods:A total of 120 interns from the five-year clinical medicine major of Batch 2015 were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. In the experimental group, 60 interns were trained by TSSP for consultation after admission. After the training, the clinical parents of the children were consulted and the children were physically examined under the guidance of teachers. In the control group, 60 interns were trained according to the same requirements, but TSSP consultation training was not included. At the end of the practice, the performance, operation skills and medical record writing ability of the interns were compared, and the satisfaction of the experimental group was investigated. SPSS 25.0 software was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:The medical record writing results of the experimental group were (96.15±3.00) points, significantly higher than that of the control group [(81.02±3.29) points], and the differences were statistically significant ( t = 26.38; P < 0.001). In the mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX), the scores of medical history collection, communication skills, humanistic care and physical examination were significantly higher than those of the control group ( t= 15.41, 17.67, 15.39 respectively; all P < 0.001). The experimental group had high satisfaction with the teaching method of TSSP consultation training. Conclusion:TSSP consultation training improves the intern medical record writing ability, doctor-patient communication ability, clinical operation ability, stimulates the learning interest of interns, trains the trainee doctors humanistic consciousness, integrates into the ideological and political education, effectively ensures the quality of practical teaching of pediatrics, and obtains recognition from intern, which is worth promoting.

Objective:To understand the clinical research knowledge, attitude and practice of pediatrics residents in standardized residency training, and to provide scientific basis for improving their capability of clinical medical scientific research.Methods:A self-complied questionnaire survey including demographic information, knowledge and attitudes toward capability of medical scientific research as well as personal interview was conducted in 22 pediatric residents during the standardized residency training from April to July, 2017. Data were analyzed by (mean±standard deviation) and percentage for description, and qualitative data were analyzed by classification and induction. SPSS 18.0 was used to analyze the data.Results:Firstly, the total score of basic knowledge in clinical scientific research was (54.14±23.06), with the scores between 31 and 60 being the most. Secondly, all these residents believed that capability of clinical medical scientific research was very important for them and clinical research training was necessary for them during the standardized residency training. Thirdly, the residents had the scientific research practices but no article published during the standardized residency training. Fourthly, the residents hoped to improve their capability of clinical scientific research by various means during the training.Conclusion:It is indicated that basic knowledge on capability of clinical medical research is still insufficient in standardized residency training of pediatrics residents, so relevant measures should be taken to cultivate their capability of clinical scientific research.

Objective To investigate the effect of continuous blood purification (CBP) on peripheral blood monocyte membrane CD14 (mCD14) expression and inflammatory response in patients with traumatic sepsis Methods A retrospective case control study was conducted on the clinical data of 50 patients with severe sepsis after trauma treated between January 2015 and December 2016. There were 34 males and 16 females, with an average age of 45.37 years (range, 16-73 years). Patients were divided into CBP group (25 cases) and non-CBP group (25 cases) according to whether they agreed to receive CBP treatment. The peripheral blood samples were collected at 0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment, and the mCD14 and leukocyte elastase (HLE) expressions were detected by flow cytometry and by ELISA, respectively. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from the two groups 24 h after treatment and cultured in vitro. The variations of mCD14 expression in mononuclear cells were measured at 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The expression levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -a, interleukin (IL) -6, and IL-10 in mononuclear cells were detected by ELISA. Results At 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment, the leukocyte elastase levels in the two groups were lower than those before treatment (P < 0.01), and the decrease in CBP group was significantly greater than that of non CBP group(P<0.01). At 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment, the mCD14 levels in both groups were up-regulated before treatment (P <0.01), and the increase in CBP group was significantly greater than that of non CBP group (P < 0.01). The mCD14 expressions before treatment, 4 h after treatment, and 8 h after treatment in CBP group were all higher than those in non CBP group at the same time points. At 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours after the re-stimulation with LPS on the mononuclear cells in both groups, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in CBP group were significantly higher than those in non-CBP group (P <0.01), and there was no significant difference in IL-10 levels between the two groups (P >0.05). Conclusions CBP treatment can increase monocyte mCD14 expressions through eliminating inflammatory factors and pro-inflammatory mediators and reducing HLE directly or indirectly in patients with traumatic sepsis. When the body is stimulated again, its anti-inflammatory response ability is markedly stronger than that of patients who have not received CBP treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect on improving immune function by hemofiltration combined with hemoabsorption in septic patients with low human leukocyte antigen DR (HLA-DR) expression.Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. Sixty sepsis patients aged over 18 years, with HLA-DR expression lower than 30% were enrolled, and they were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, n = 30 in each group. The patients were treated with standard operating procedure for sepsis, and hemofiltration combined with hemoabsorption were added in addition in the experimental group within 1-3 days. The continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) mode was performed, with former dilution volume 4 L/h, and the hemofilter HF2000 was carried out with blood absorber HA-330H. The expression of HLA-DR in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was determined before the treatment and 3, 5, 7 days after treatment. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and 28-day survival rate were evaluated in both groups.Results The HLA-DR expression before treatment in experimental group and control group was both lower than 30%, and there was no statistical difference [(25.9±7.3)% vs. (26.4±6.7)%,P>0.05]. The HLA-DR expression at 3, 5, 7 days after treatment in experimental group was gradually increased, and it was significantly higher than that of the control group [3 days: (38.9±8.6)% vs. (29.3±7.1)%, 5 days: (42.7±9.2)%vs. (31.4±6.5)%, 7 days: (40.9±8.5)% vs. (29.4±6.7)%, allP< 0.05]. There was no significant difference in APACHEⅡ score before treatment between experimental group and control group (22.4±5.3 vs. 21.7±6.2,P>0.05). APACHEⅡ score at 3, 5, and 7 days after treatment was gradually decreased in experimental group, and it was obviously lower than that of the control group (3 days: 18.6±3.6 vs. 20.5±4.3, 5 days: 15.8±3.9 vs. 21.1±4.4, 7 days: 14.9±4.2 vs. 19.8±3.7, allP< 0.05). Compared with the control group, the duration of mechanical ventilation (days: 13.3±3.4 vs. 19.8±3.7,t = 6.432,P = 0.003) and length of ICU stay (days: 20.7±3.9 vs. 26.8±4.7,t = 5.452, P = 0.006) in experimental group were significantly shortened, and the 28-day survival rate was significantly elevated (83.3% vs. 73.3%,χ2 = 3.121,P = 0.016).Conclusion Hemofiltration combined with hemoabsorption can improve the expression of HLA-DR in sepsis patients with low expression of HLA-DR, and it can improve immune function and prognosis of sepsis patients in certain degree.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of budesonide inhaled on the levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8), C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of patients with AECOPD treated by using inhalation of budesonide in different doses or by using injection of dexamethasone. MethodsNinety AECOPD patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU ward were enrolled from Jan. 2008 through Sep. 2010. All patients were selected in this study as per the criteria of AECOPD set by the Chinese Medical Association. Ninety AECOPD patients treated with routine therapy were randomly (random number) divided into 3 groups. The patients of group A were given budesonide 2 mg inhaled 1 time/d. The patients of group B was given budesonide 4 mg inhaled 1 time/d. The patients of group C had dexamethasone 2. 5 mg injected 1 time/12h. The changes of IL-8, PCT and CRP in both BALF and serum were respectively detected in three groups at the beginning of treatment, and 3 days and 7days after treatment. The detected data of variables were analyzed by SPSS 13.0 package. ResultsThe level of IL-8 in BALF declined in 3days and 7days after treatment, and the magnitude of decrease in the following order:Group B ( budesonide 4mg/d) > Group A ( budesonide 2 mg/d) > Group C ( intravenous dexamethasone)with significant differences among them ( P < 0. 05 ). The decrease in IL-8 in serum showed the similar trend, but there were no statistical differences among them. The CRP and PCT in both BALF and serum had no significant changes. There was a correlation between the concentration of IL-8 in BALF and the duration of mechanical ventilation.Conclusions The treatment with the inhalation of budesonide could more significantly reduced the IL-8 level in BALF compared with intravenous dexamethasone, whereas the CRP and PCT were not changed. The dynamic changes of IL-8 in BALF might be used as an indicator of prognosis in AECOPD patients with mechanical ventilation.
