Abstract: Objective To summarize the clinical experience of plasma exchange （PE） during recardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) of patients with severe haemolysis in cardiac surgery. Methods Between January 2001 and December 2005, five patients required PE for severe haemolysis after cardiac surgery. There were periprosthetic leakage and infective endocarditis in 3 patients, congenital heart disease of pulmonary artery stenosis with unsatisfied right ventricular outflow tract patching in 1 patient and thrombosis during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in 1 patient. They all need blood purification to avoid acute renal failure. Results Five patients were successfully treated with PE during CPB without major complications. The amount of plasma and blood transfused in the 5 patients were 2.2±0.8L and 0.6±0.3L respectively. The volume of plasma exchange and ultrafiltrate were 3.9±1.8L and 2.4±1.3L respectively.The electrolytes and bloodgas analysis in all patients were maintained at the normal levels. The hemodynamics was stable. After heart resuscitation CPB stopped smoothly. Disappearance of periprosthetic leakage and satisfaction of right ventricular outflow tract patching were observed by echocardiograms after peration.Extubation was performed 24h after the operation in 5 patients, and they were discharged 12 to 53 d after the operation with fully recovery. The urine was clear and the body temperature was normal. Before they left thehospital, the concentration of free hemoglobin was tested in 3 patients. The concentration of free hemoglobin was slightly higher in 1 patient (68mg/L), and normal in 2 patients (lt;40mg/L). Conclusion PE during CPB in severe haemolysis is a safe technique which can effectively prevent acute renal failure caused by severe mechanical haemolysis after cardiac surgery.
With the deepening of current study and the innovation of perioperative management concept, there have been great advances in lung transplantation in recent years. The prognosis of patients has been significantly improved. At the same time, the role of various types of blood purification in the clinical monitoring and treatment of lung transplant patients is becoming increasingly prominent. This review aims to summarize the application and latest progress of in vitro blood purification such as renal replacement therapy, plasmapheresis and hemadsorption in the perioperative period of lung transplantation, and to provide a basis for further study.
【Abstract】Objective To evaluate effect of artificial liver support system (ALSS) in liver failure and liver transplantation.Methods Forty-four patients with liver failure (including 12 undergoing liver transplantation) were treated with MARS or plasma exchange. The changes of toxic substances and cytokines in blood were detected before and after treatment. Results ALSS therapy achieved a remarkable improvement in clinical symptoms and physical signs. After ALSS treatment, there was a significant decrease in total bilirubin, total bile acid, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, urea nitrogen, blood ammonia and endotoxin levels(P＜0.05); the levels of serum NO, TNF-α, IL-4 and IL-6 were significantly decreased(P＜0.05); there was no statistical change in erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets. The survival rate of 30 liver failure patients caused by severe hepatitis B was 60.0%(18/30). Six patients with acute liver failure were successfully performed liver transplantation. Two patients in 6 with acute liver failure after liver transplantation survived. One patient in 2 with acute liver failure after pancreatoduodenectomy survived. Conclusion ALSS plays a positive role in treatment of liver failure by removing blood toxins, NO and cytokines. ALSS also plays a substitute role for liver failure patients who are waiting for liver transplantation.
目的：探讨毒蕈中毒所致中毒性肝炎的临床表现、治疗与预后关系。方法：对3例急性毒蕈中毒患者进行回顾性临床分析。结果：3例患者均出现中毒性肝炎，2例经治疗后好转，1例因多器官功能衰竭死亡。结论：中毒性肝炎如导致多脏器损害，预后差；及早洗胃，彻底清除毒物是救治关键；血浆置换治疗有一定疗效，肝移植是最有效的治疗手段。
Plasma exchange (PE) is a therapeutic blood component replacement method. The blood of patients is first separated into plasma and blood cell components using a blood cell separator in vitro, the plasma containing harmful pathogenic substances is then discarded and replaced with the same volume of exchange solution. Finally the separated blood cells together with the exchange solution are returned back to the blood circulation of patients. By reducing the circulating antibodies, abnormal plasma proteins or cytokines and other pathogenic molecules, PE can block the disease process. PE has a good therapeutic effect on neuromyelitis optica-related optic neuritis (NMO-ON), which shows resistant to glucocorticoid therapy for the first onset. The American Society for Apheresis guideline evaluates PE for acute optic neuritis as a recommended grade 1B, type II indication. In the implementation of PE treatment for NMO-ON and other diseases, indications and contraindications should be strictly adhered to the guideline, treatment procedures and protocols should be optimized, common adverse events and its prevention and management should be known and alerted. It is important to conduct multi-center clinical cooperation and a high standard clinical randomized controlled study, to find out the optimal time window, the best protocol, and the associated factors for the efficacy and prognosis of PE in NMO-ON.
目的:了解评价血浆置换(PE)治疗慢性乙型重型肝炎的临床疗效及价值。方法:观察重型肝炎患者PE前后总胆红素、白蛋白5项指标及乏力、腹胀等临床症状变化,比较治疗组和对照组治疗后好转率的差异。统计分析PE治疗及次数与患者预后的关系。检测部分患者PE前后内毒素(LPS)浓度,探讨LPS与患者预后的关系。结果:治疗组和对照组早中期患者好转率分别为54.4％和27.8％(Plt;0.01);晚期患者的好转率分别为8.3％和1.4％(Pgt;0.05)。PE治疗2到4次,患者的好转率分别为39.4％、43.6％和42.9％,但PE次数在不同组别患者的好转率之间差异无统计学意义(Pgt;0.05)。PE治疗后好转患者血清内毒素浓度下降(Plt;0.01)。结论:PE能明显改善患者肝功能指标,提高早中期患者的好转率。PE次数为2到4次时,患者的好转率较高,但不同的PE次数未显示相应患者的临床转归之间有统计学意义的差异。血清LPS浓度与患者预后有相关性,治疗前血清LPS浓度低且治疗后下降者,预后较好;相反,治疗前血清LPS浓度高且治疗后下降不明显者,预后较差。
Kidney transplantation is an ideal treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. Circulating alloantibodies against donor human leukocyte antigens and blood group antigens can impair allografts, shorten allograft survival, and limit access to kidney transplantation. Furthermore, the presence of donor specific antibodies is associated with increased incidence of antibody-mediated rejection and decreased graft survival following transplantation. Plasmapheresis, an extracorporeal therapy directed at removing plasma proteins that has been found to minimize the effects of perioperative sensitization in kidney transplantation. Plasmapheresis enables transplantation across the barrier of ABO blood group incompatibility. In addition, it is also an important approach for the treatment of antibody-mediated rejection. Therefore, studying the application of plasmapheresis in perioperative period of kidney transplantation is expected to increase the chance of transplantation and improve the outcomes following transplantation. This article introduces the application of plasmapheresis in the perioperative period of kidney transplantation.
