Objective To explore the possible anti-inflammatory mechanism of intensive insulin therapy （IIT） by studying the effect of IIT on the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, C-reactive protein （CRP） and APACHE Ⅱ score in biliary pyemia. Methods Twenty eight patients with biliary pyemia who were admitted by our department and given an operation within 24 h form Jan. 2005 to Dec. 2008 were randomly divided into two groups by using random number table numbers: one group treated with IIT （IIT group, n=14） and another group treated with routine insulin therapy （RIT group, n=14）. The inflammatory factors, such as TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP were detected dynamically and the APACHEⅡ score was calculated. ResultsThe level of CRP and APACHEⅡ score on day 5 and 7 and the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 on day 3, 5 and 7 after operation in IIT group were significantly lower than those in RIT group （P＜0.05, P＜0.0１）. Compared with preoperative levels, the IL-6 and APACHEⅡ score in IIT group commenced to decrease on day 3 after operation （P＜0.05）, that was earlier than control group. Conclusion The treatment with IIT can suppress the composition of TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP, protect impaired hepatic cells, and reduce APACHEⅡ score, the degree of systemic inflammation and incidence of MODS.
ObjectiveTo compare the value of the acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) scores, the pneumonia severity index (PSI) scores), the CURB-65 scores, and serum procalcitonin (PCT) concentration in prediction of prognosis for inpatients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and discuss the influence factors.MethodsRetrospective analysis was conducted based on the APACHEⅡ scores, the CURB-65 scores, the PSI scores and PCT concentration of hospitalized CAP patients admitted in the Department of Respiratory Medicine of First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between January 2015 and December 2016, and within 24 hours of their admission. The end point of this study was the clinical outcome of hospitalization (recovery, improvement, exacerbation or death). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and binary logistic regression models were used to assess the ability of prognostic evaluation and determine the boundary value, to screen risk factors that influence deterioration and death in CAP patients.ResultsTwo hundred and thirty-five CAP patients were enrolled with 146 males and 89 females at an average age of (60.4±18.1) years old. All patients were divided into 2 groups: improving recovery group had 205 cases, and deteriorating group had 30 cases. The rank of areas under the ROC curve for predicting the deterioration and death risk of CAP, from big to small were APACHEⅡ(0.889), PSI (0.850), CURB-65 (0.789), and PCT (0.720). APACHEⅡ score over 11 points and PSI score over 91 points were optimal cut-off values for the prognostic assessment. Moreover, the logistic regression analysis revealed that APACHEⅡ score and PCT were independent risk factors of deterioration and death in CAP patients.ConclusionsThe better predictability of clinic outcome of CAP is APACHEⅡ score, PSI score, CURB-65 score, and PCT respectively in order, while the APACHEⅡ score and PCT concentration were independent risk factors for exacerbation and mortality in CAP patients. The predictive ability of a single PCT measurement is limited. The combination of APACHEⅡ score and PCT may increase specificity, but reduce sensitivity.
【摘要】 目的 探討膿毒血癥患者膽堿酯酶水平與患者病情及預后的關系。 方法 2007年6月-2009年6月，將89例膿毒血癥患者設定為膿毒血癥組，進行血清膽堿酯酶測定及APACHEⅡ評分；另擇82例健康人為正常組，測定血清膽堿酯酶值，比較兩者之間差異；89例膿毒癥患者按病況再分為存活組及死亡組，比較兩者之間血清膽堿酯酶及APACHEⅡ評分差異。 結果 治療前膿毒血癥組膽堿酯酶水平明顯低于正常組，有統計學意義（Plt;0.01）；膿毒血癥組APACHEⅡ評分與血清膽堿酯酶呈負相關；死亡組APACHEⅡ評分明顯高于存活組，而血清膽堿酶低于存活組（Plt;0.01）。 結論 膽堿酯酶同APACHEⅡ評分呈負相關，能明顯反映膿毒癥患者病情嚴重程度及預后。【Abstract】 Objective To explore the relationship between the level of cholinesterase and the patients condition and the prognosis in the patients with sepsis. Methods From June 2007 to June 2009, 89 patients with sepsis were selected as the sepsis group, whose cholinesterase level was assayed and evaluated by APACHE Ⅱ score. Another 82 healthy people were as the control whose cholinesterase level was assayed and compared with that in the sepsis group. The patients in the sepsis group were subdivided into survival and death group; the level of cholinesterase and the result of APACHE Ⅱ score were compared between the two groups. Results The level of cholinesterase in sepsis group was significantly lower than that in the control group before treatment, and the difference was significant (Plt;0.01); the APACHE Ⅱ score negatively correlated with the serum cholinesterase in sepsis group. The APACHE Ⅱ score in the death group was significantly higher than that in the survival group, but the level of cholinesterase was obviously lower in the death group than that in the survival group (Plt;0.01). Conclusion The serumal cholinesterase negatively correlates with the APACHE Ⅱ score, which could obviously reflect the patients condition and the prognosis of sepsis.
