RATIONALE:Esophagopleural fistula (EPF) is a rare critical life-threatening condition that features high misdiagnosis rate. Although various surgical and conservative techniques have been developed for the treatment of EPF, the mortality rate of EPF remains high.PATIENT CONCERNS:An 81-year-old man with hepatic cirrhosis caused by schistosomiasis was admitted with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.DIAGNOSES:Upper endoscopy revealed bleeding large esophageal varices, and endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) was performed. Two weeks after the EIS was performed, the patient developed pyrexia, left-sided pleuritic chest pain. Air and pleural effusion were showed in the left pleural cavity by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and a linear fistulous communication was noticed from the distal esophagus. These findings were consistent with hepatic cirrhosis, esophageal varices, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and esophagopleural fistula.INTERVENTIONS:The patient was intensively treated with endoscopic self-expandable metallic stent (covered-SEMS) implantation and comprehensive treatments (including thoracic closed drainage, antibiotics, nasojejunal nutrition, and antacids).OUTCOMES:The patient was completely cured without recurrence during a 6 months of follow-up by comprehensive conservative treatments.LESSONS:This case indicates that pleural effusion with food residue is a specific finding in EPF. Thorax CT exhibited high sensitivity for the diagnosis of EPF. Endoscopic self-expandable metallic stent implantation and comprehensive conservative treatments may be preferable for the severe liver disease with EPF.
目的 观察血必净用于治疗老年重症肺部感染对患者炎症因子及凝血机制的影响.方法 回顾性分析该院及苏州市立医院2015年3月—2017年3月收治的重症肺部感染的患者76例,其中42例连续使用血必净治疗至少10 d,为血必净组,另外34例未使用血必净治疗,为对照组.对比治疗前及治疗10 d后两组患者凝血功能指标和炎症因子的变化.结果 血必净组治疗第10天PT、APTT、FIB、TT分别为(12.08±4.09)s、(30.06±10.07)s、(2.33±0.87)g/L、(13.37±3.42)s,CRP、PCT、TNF-α水平分别为(18.74±6.92)mg/L、(0.21±0.03)ng/mL、(13.47±3.91)g/L,均较对照组以上指标水平更优,差异有统计学意义(t=3.753、2.543、10.411、10.438、5.894、31.126、9.811,P<0.05).结论 血必净用于治疗老年重症肺部感染可明显改善患者高凝状态,降低炎症因子水平,利于患者病情的好转.

急性重症心肌炎,起病急,病情重,病死率高。部分患者由于其心肌酶学、心电图改变,以及临床表现等与急性心肌梗死患者非常相似,常导致临床医师误诊。在发病早期给予恰当的支持治疗,可明显改善预后。本文报道了1例经主动脉球囊反搏和心脏临时起搏成功抢救的似急性前壁心肌梗死的重症心肌炎病例。
Poly(lactic acid)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)(MePEG-b-PLA) based nanocapsules containing perfluorohexane were fabricated through a double emulsion-solvent evaporation method.In the preparation,three kinds of hydrophilic polymers,i.e.,poly(vinyl-alcohol)(PVA),chitosan(CS),and carboxymethyl dextran(CMG) were used as emulsifier or co-emulsifier to modify the surface of nanocapsules.Besides,two kinds of MePEG-b-PLA copolymers with different block length ratio were used as main shell composition to fabricate nanocapsules.Nanocapsule size,morphology,zeta potential,water stability of six nanocapsule samples fabricated by different polymers or emulsifiers were characterized by Malvern nanosizer analyzer,transmission electron microscope( TEM) and UV-Visible spectrophotometer( UV-Vis),respectively.The results showed that nanocapsules using 1% PVA + 1% CMG as an emulsifier and MePEG-b-PLA[m( MePEG) ∶ m( PLA) = 1∶ 3] as shell material had monodispersed small size and stable water property.These nanocapsules are not only in nanometer-scale but also possess favorable ultrasonic imaging property.Ultrasonic imaging property of nanocapsules was charaeterized using in vitro ultrasound tester and made a comparison with a commercialized ultrosonic imaging agent SonoVueTM.The results demonstrated a brighter contrast scale and edurable ultrasonic property of MePEG-b-PLA nanocapsules.In addition,the cytotoxicity by incubating MePEG-b-PLA nanocapsules with rat liver cells line BRL-3A was characterized through 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT)assay.The results showed that the PLA-based nanocapsules imposed no significant inhibition effect on proliferation of BRL-3A cells.
Objective To evaluate the effect of immunosuppressive therapy for paraquat poisoning. Method Relevant published articles concemed with immunosuppressive therapy for paraquat poisoning both in Chinese and in English were searched,and Meta-analysis was carried out with Stata software. Results Eight non-randomized comparative studies and two randomized controlled trials were enrolled for Meta-analysis according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results indicated the relative risk of immunosuppressive therapy in im-proving mortality of paraquat poisoning were 0. 54(95% CI=0. 44~0. 66)and 0. 76(95% CI=0. 62~0. 94)for non-randomised stud-ies and randomized controlled studies,respectively. Conclusion This anaIysis Suggests that immunosuppressive therapy reduce mortality in paraquat poisoning compared with conventional medical therapy. However,due to significant heterogeneity,a large randomized controlled trial is required to affirm the role of immunosuppression in paraquat poisoning.
目的:研究外源性H2S对心肺复苏(cardiopulmonary resuscitation,CPR)后大鼠记忆障碍的影响,并探究其作用机制.方法:将SD大鼠随机分为5组,对照组、模型组(CPR)、低剂量NaHS治疗组(CPR+ NaHS)、中间剂量NaHS治疗组、高剂量NaHS治疗组.采用Morris水迷宫法测定各组大鼠学习记忆能力;比色法检测大鼠大脑组织中超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)活性及丙二醛(malonaldehyde,MDA)含量;HE染色观察海马组织形态学改变.结果:与对照组比较,模型组大鼠在Morris水迷宫实验中,逃避潜伏期显著延长,在平台所在象限停留时间减少,穿越平台次数减少,SOD活性显著降低,MDA含量显著升高,海马神经元出现变性改变.与模型组比较,NaHS治疗组大鼠逃避潜伏期缩短,在平台所在象限搜索时间延长,穿越平台次数明显增多,SOD活性升高,MDA含量显著降低,海马神经元的变性得到改善.结论:心肺复苏可损害大鼠的学习记忆能力,外源性H2S供体NaHS减轻了CRP对大鼠学习记忆的损害,其作用机制可能与H2S清除自由基和衰减脂质过氧化反应有关.
Objective: To evaluate the early diagnostic and prognosis value of procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and PCT kinetics for central venous catheter related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in selected critically ill patients. Methods: Thirty-six patients received central venous catheter, who were suspected of having CRBSI. All the patient blood samples were obtained for detection of PCT, IL-6 levels, and for blood culture on the first day, and catheter were also obtained for culture. PCT levels were measured on day 1, 2, 3, and 7 after infection. The patients were divided into CRBSI group and non-CRBSI group. The CRBSI group was divided into controlled infection group and non-controlled infection group, and PCT kinetics for prognostic value was observed. Results: Fifteen patients were diagnosed as CRBIS (41.67%). Levels of PCT and IL-6 were significantly higher in patients with CRBIS than those without CRBIS on the first infection day (P<0.001 and P<0.005). The ROC curves indicated that the area under the curve (AUC) for PCT and IL-6 was 0.832 and 0.78, respectively. The cutoff points of PCT and IL-6 were set to be 4.3 μg/L and 464.5 ng/L for patients with proven CRBSI, respectively. The corresponding sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 80.0% and 77.3%, 95.2% and 66.7%, 92.25% and 61.12%, and 86.95% and 77.76%, respectively. PCT serum levels tended to decrease in patients with controlled CRBSI, whereas in non-controlled patients was proven to remain stably in high level. Conclusion: PCT and IL-6 might be valuable early diagnostic parameters for CRBIS with high specificity and negative predictive value, and PCT kinetics has certain predictive value for the prognosis of CRBSI.
