【Abstract】Objective To study the influence of early hemofiltration on plasma concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β and their transcription levels in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) pigs. Methods The model of SAP was induced by retrograde injection of artificial bile into pancreatic duct in pigs. Animals were divided randomly into two groups: SAP hemofiltration treatment group (HF group, n=8) and SAP no hemofiltration treatment group (NHF group, n=8). TNF-α and IL-1β plasma concentrations were measured by ELISA. Their transcription levels in the tissues of pancreas, liver and lung were assayed by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results After hemofiltration treatment, the plasma concentrations of TNF-α and IL-1β increased gradually but were lower than those of NHF group at the same time spot 〔at 6 h after hemofiltration treatment, (618±276) pg/ml vs (1 375±334) pg/ml and (445±141) pg/ml vs (965±265) pg/ml, P<0.01〕. At 6 h after hemofiltration treatment, the transcription levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in tissues of pancreas, liver and lung were lower than in NHF group (57.8±8.9 vs 85.7±17.4, 48.0±8.1 vs 78.1±10.2, 46.2±9.6 vs 82.4±10.5; 55.9±9.0 vs 82.2±15.7, 40.6±9.2 vs 60.0±10.6, 35.7±9.8 vs 58.1±9.3, P<0.01). Conclusion Early hemofiltration can reduce TNF-α and IL-1β plasma concentrations and transcription levels in SAP pigs.

Abstract: Objective To discuss whether priming solution with blood can reach a physiologic state after ultrafiltration and investigate the influence of this method on electrolytes, acidbase balance and cardiopulmonary function in patients in perioperative period. Methods Forty patients with congenital heart diseases treated in our hospital from February to June 2009 were enrolled in this study. The weight of these patients was less than 8 kg. They were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group (n=20, 12 males and 8 females; age: 131.00±103.00 d; weight: 4.14±0.96 kg) and the control group (n=20, 11 males and 9 females; age: 127.00±88.00 d; weight: 4.38±1.05 kg). For patients in the experimental group, the priming solution was filtered with a blood ultrafilter in the cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) circuit for twenty minutes, while the priming solution circulated in the CPB circuit without filtration for patients in the control group before operation. Data were obtained from the priming solution before and after ultrafiltration. Blood gas analysis was done and indexes like the electrolytes were detected during the operation. Fractional shorting (FS), ejection fraction (EF) and cardiac output (CO) were measured by echocardiography. Pulmonary function change was also observed. Results No death occurred in both groups. Mechanical ventilation time for the experimental group was significantly shorter than that of the control group (2.7±0.3 d vs. 4.1±0.4 d,Plt;0.05). After ultrafiltration for the experimental group, all indexes of the priming solution reached normal values: pH increased (from 6.89±0.22 to 7.40±0.57, P=0.001); base excess increased (from -16.12±0.98 mmol/L to +0.31±2.40 mmol/L, P=0.000); potassium concentration decreased (from 10.33±2.13 mmol/L to 4.27±0.93 mmol/L, P=0.000); interleukin8 (IL-8) decreased (from 78.40±6.10 pg/ml to 64.30±48.10 pg/ml, P=0.036); and bradykinin decreased (from 5 982±1 353 pg/ml to 531.00±35.00 pg/ml, P=0.031). The decrease of FS, EF and CO in the experimental group was smaller than that of the control group. Four hours after surgery, CO in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (2.77±0.95 L/min vs. 1.66±0.75 L/min, P=0.001). Twentyfour hours after surgery, EF in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (67.44%±6.89% vs. 61.17%±9.02%, P=0.003). Six hours after surgery, alveolararterial oxygen difference (A-aDO2) and respiratory index (RI) increased significantly (Plt;0.05) in both groups, and then started to drop to normal. Patients in the experimental group recovered gas exchange earlier than patients in the control group. Fortyeight hours after operation, A-aDO2 and RI in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Ultrafiltration of priming solution may confer an advantage in maintaining more physiological conditions, reducing inflammatory mediators, and improving cardiopulmonary function after operation, which is very important in performing cardiac surgery on the newborn and infants with complex congenital heart diseases.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of early veno-venous hemofiltration in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods We searched Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Issue 4, 2005), MEDLINE (1990 to 2006) and CBMdisc (1990 to 2006). We also handsearched the references of relevant articles. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomized clinical controlled trials (CCTs) comparing early veno-venous hemofiltration versus conventional therapy only, which reported either mortality rate, cure rate, or both. Two reviewers assessed the quality of each trial and extracted data independently. Trials were graded methodologically. The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 4.2.8 software was used for statistical analysis. Results Ten RCTs and 6 CCTs involving 891 patients were included, all of which were China-based. The Jadad scores of all included RCTs were less than 3. Five trials were incorrectly described as having used random allocation. The baseline data of each trial were comparable. Meta-analyses showed that hemofiltration significantly increased the overall cure rate (OR 3.01, 95%CI 1.28 to 7.09) and decreased the overall mortality rate (OR 0.43, 95%CI 0.27 to 0.70). Moreover, APACHE-II score, conversion to operation rate and incidence of complications of SAP were reduced significantly., The duration of abdominal pain or distension and hospitalization stay were shortened compared with non-hemofiltration. However, continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) did not improve overall prognosis, with greater possibility of adverse events. Repeated or intermittent short veno-venous hemfiltration (RSVVH/ISVVH) either with or without peritoneal dialysis, could improve the overall prognosis without any adverse events reported. Conclusions Based on these findings, early RSVVH/ISVVH was effective and safe for SAP, but the efficacy of CVVH could not be proven. Current studies were only available from China and were poor in methodological quality. Further, high-quality, large-scale, randomized controlled trials are required to identify reliably the effectiveness and safety of early veno-venous hemofiltration for SAP.
目的:研究早期连续性静脉-静脉血液滤过和反复间断静脉一静脉血滤治疗重症急性胰腺炎的临床价值。 方法:45例SAP患者随机分为CVVH组(25例)和RIVVH组(20例)。比较2组患者的生命体征、生化指标、治疗前后的APACHE Ⅱ评分、死亡率、好转率。 结果:CVVH 组中3例死于MODS,死亡率为12%,RIVVH组死亡3例 (15%),其差异有统计学意义(Plt;0.05);CVVH 组好转率为80% (20/25),与RIVVH组的80%(16/20)一致。在治疗的早期阶段,对于改善生命体征,降低APACHEⅡ评分CVVH效果更显注,但随着治疗时间的延长,这种差异逐渐变小,在后期两组间不再存在疗效差异,最终疗效上没有明显的差异,而RIVVH组,在治疗费用和人员成本上具有优势。结论:早期RIVVH 治疗SAP可以作为SAP重要的辅助治疗措施。
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of early repeated intermittent veno-venous hemofiltration (RIVVH) in treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Sixty-five patients were randomly divided into RIVVH group (35 cases) and control group (30 cases). Symptoms, physical signs, serum concentration of BUN, Cr, AST, ALT, AMS were observed and compared between two groups. The changes of C-reactive protein (CRP) and result of bacteria culture, APACHEⅡ grades and Balthazar CT grades, open-belly surgery rate, complications, mortality rate, average hospital stay and costs were compared between these two groups. Results Two patients died of multiple organ failure in the RIVVH group, with 5.7% mortality rate, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (26.7%, 8/30), P<0.05. Twenty-four hours after treatment, symptoms and signs were alleviated more in RIVVH group; blood biochemical indicator, oxygenation index and CRP level improved significantly in RIVVH group compared with those in control group (P<0.05,P<0.01). Balthazar CT grades and APACHEⅡ grades decreased significantly after treatment in patients of RIVVH group (P=0.002, P<0.001). The hospital stay, costs, open-belly surgery rate, complications rate and infection rate were also significantly lower in RIVVH group comparing with those in control group (P<0.05, P<0.001). Conclusion RIVVH can decrease the mortality rate of SAP with high recovery rate, less cost and shorter hospital stay.
