Methods : Twentyfour SAP patients who admitted to hospital within 72h after onset were randomized into treatment group (n=12) and control group (n=12). The patients in the treatment group were treated by Yihuo Qingxia method, and the control group were administrated with placebo.The level of the serum mcp1 of the patients on the first,3rd,5th,7thday were measured, as well as the incidence and the duration of disfunction of the organs were compared.〖WTHZ〗Results :There were no statistical significance in admission Rason scores, CT scores, Acute physiology and chronic health evaltionⅡscores(APACHEⅡscores)(Pgt;005). The level of the serum Monocyte chemoattractant protein1 of the treatment group was lower than that of the placebo group generally(Plt;005).At the 3rd day after onset,the serum mcp1 level of the control group was significantly higher than that of the treament group(Plt;005).The incidence of the control group of the intestin disfunction and hepatic inadequacy was obviously higher than those of the treatment group,and the duration of the former was longer than that of the latter,but with no satistical significance. Conclusion :Yihuo Qingxia method can effectively cut down the level of the serum mcp1 of severe pancreatitis patients.
ObjectiveTo investigate predictive value of a new blood biochemical scoring system (CPWAG scoring system) on severity and mortality of acute pancreatitis (AP).MethodsThe AP patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in our hospital from January 2017 to June 2019 were collected, then were divided into severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) group and non-SAP group according to the latest Atlanta classification. The differences of clinical characteristics and related blood biochemical indicators between the SAP group and the non-SAP group were compared. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen blood biochemical risk indicators related to SAP. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to obtain the best cut-off value corresponding to the maximum Youden index of statistical significant risk factors and was assigned as 0 or 1 point according to different situations. At the same time, the pleural effusion of the BISAP score was included and assigned as 0 (yes) or 1 (no) point, then the CPWAG score was obtained by adding the point of the above indexes.The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of the CPWAG, BISAP, APACHEⅡ, CTSI, and Ranson scoring systems in predicting severity and death of AP patients were also compared.ResultsA total of 451 patients with AP were included in this study, including 85 patients with SAP and 366 patients with non-SAP. Compared with the non-SAP group, the etiology of AP was mainly biliary (P<0.05), with higher levels of white blood cell count (WBC), C reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and glucose (P<0.05), greater red blood cell distribution width value (P<0.05), longer prothrombin time (PT) and hospital stay (P<0.05), lower albumin (ALB) and blood calcium levels (P<0.05), higher BISAP, APACHEⅡ, CTSI and Ranson points (P<0.05), and higher proportions of patients with pleural effusion, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and death (P<0.05) in the SAP group. The highest score of the CPWAG scoring system included CRP, PCT, WBC, ALB, glucose, blood calcium, and pleural effusion was 7. With the increase of CPWAG score, the proportion of SAP and death patients showed an increasing trend (P<0.001). The AUC of the CPWAG scoring system in predicting SAP was 0.866, which was higher than those of Ranson (AUC=0.722, Z=5.317, P<0.001), APACHEⅡ (AUC=0.706, Z=5.019, P<0.001), and CTSI (AUC=0.805, Z=1.962, P=0.005) scoring system, but which had no statistically significant difference as compared with the BISAP scoring system (AUC=0.819, Z=1.816, P=0.070). The AUC of the CPWAG scoring system in predicting death had a high ability (AUC=0.823), which had no significant differences as compared with the Ranson, APACHEⅡ, CTSI, and BISAP scoring systems (P>0.05).ConclusionThe CPWAG score is valuable in predicting the severity and mortality of AP patients, allowing accurate and early assessment of AP patients.
【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.
ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics of acute pancreatitis (AP) complicated with pulmonary infection and to explore the value of BISAP, APACHEⅡ and CTSI scores combined with C-reactive protein (CRP) in early diagnosis and prognosis of AP complicated with pulmonary infection.MethodsFour hundreds and eighty-four cases of AP treated in the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from January 2018 to January 2020 were selected. After screening, 460 cases were included as the study object, and the patients with pulmonary infection were classified as the infection group (n=114). Those without pulmonary infection were classified as the control group (n=346). The baseline data, clinical characteristics, laboratory test indexes, length of stay, hospitalization cost, and outcome of the two groups were collected, and the risk factors and early predictive indexes of pulmonary infection in patients with AP were analyzed.ResultsHospitalization days and expenses, outcome, fluid replacement within 24 hours, drinking, smoking, age, APACHEⅡ score, BISAP score, CTSI score, hemoglobin (Hb), albumin (ALB), CRP, procalcitonin (PCT), total bilirubin (TB), lymphocyte count, international standardized ratio (INR), blood glucose, and blood calcium, there were significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05). There were no significant difference in BMI, sex, recurrence rate, fatty liver grade, proportion of patients with hypertension and diabetes between the two groups (P>0.05). The significant indexes of univariate analysis were included in multivariate regression analysis, the results showed that Hb≤120 g/L, CRP≥56 mg/L, PCT≥1.65 ng/mL, serum calcium≤2.01 mmol/L, BISAP score≥3, APACHEⅡ score≥8, CTSI score≥3, and drinking alcohol were independent risk factors of AP complicated with pulmonary infection. The working characteristic curve of the subjects showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of CRP, BISAP score, APACHEⅡ score and CTSI score were 0.846, 0.856, 0.882, 0.783, respectively, and the AUC of the four combined tests was 0.952. The AUC of the four combined tests was significantly higher than that of each single test (P<0.05).Conclusions The CRP level, Apache Ⅱ score, bisap score and CTSI score of AP patients with pulmonary infection are significantly higher, which are closely related to the severity and prognosis of AP patients with pulmonary infection. The combined detection of the four items has more predictive value than the single detection in the early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of AP complicated with pulmonary infection. Its application in clinic is of great significance to shorten the duration of hospitalization and reduce the cost of hospitalization and mortality.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapic efficacy for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) during different periods. MethodsAccording to internalized standard, 234 patients with SAP admitted to this hospital from January 1986 to October 2009 were included, which were divided into two stages based on the time of admitting to this hospital. The first stage named prior operation group was from January 1986 to August 1998 (n=117), the second stage named individual treatment group was from September 1998 to October 2009 (n=117). There was comparability in demography and clinic between two groups. The prior operation group primarily underwent laparotomy and medication, and the individual treatment group underwent multiple combined therapies. These indexes were compared between two groups: hospital stay, cure rate, and mortality; the incidences of pancreatic pseudocyst, pancreatic and peripancreatic abscess, pancreatic encephalopathy, cardiac insufficiency, acute renal failure (ARF), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and shock. The efficacies for early treatment, ascites, biliary pancreatitis, and pancreatic and peripancreatic complications were compared two groups by stratified analysis. ResultsCompared with the prior operation group, the hospital stay was shorter (Plt;0.05), cure rate was higher (Plt;0.001), and mortality was lower in the individual treatment group (Plt;0.001). During the treatments, the incidences of pancreatic pseudocyst, pancreatic and peripancreatic abscess, pancreatic encephalopathy, cardiac insufficiency, ARF, ARDS, and shock in the individual treatment group were lower than those in the prior operation group (Plt;0.05). According to the stratified analysis, the efficacies for early treatment, ascites, biliary pancreatitis, and pancreatic and peripancreatic complications in the individual treatment group were better than those in the prior operation group (Plt;0.001). ConclusionIn recent years, the change of therapeutic mode significantly improves the treatment efficacy for SAP.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate the role of early surgical intervention in the treatment of fulminant acute pancreatitis (FAP).Methods Eight cases of FAP admitted to our institution from September 2003 to December 2004 were reviewed retrospectively.Results Averagely 3 organs dysfunction was diagnosed on admission or in the course of treatment in this group. One patient treated non-operatively was dead. Of 7 cases with early surgical intervention, one was died of ACS and ARF, One female patient with 32 weeks pregnancy survived, but the fetus was dead before surgery. Five cases were complicated with intra-abscess, which were cured re-operatively. Conclusion Early operative intervention in the treatment of FAP could prevent MODS and improve the survival.
ObjectiveTo explore effect of α-adrenoceptor on modulating water of lung in severe acute pancrea-titis (SAP) rat. MethodsThe SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=5) and SAP group,the SAP group was divided into subgroups of SAP-4 h (n=5) and SAP-24 h (n=5).SAP model was made by injecting taurocholate into bilopancreatic duct.The wet-to-dry ratio,alveolar fluid clearance (AFC),and AFC affected by α1-adrenoceptor inhibitor-prazosin and α2-adrenoceptor inhibitor-yohimbine separately or together were measured in the lungs.The α1-adrenoceptor and α2-adrenoceptor mRNA expressions in the lungs tissues were measured by real-time PCR. Results① The wet-to-dry ratios in the SAP-4 h group and SAP-24 h group were obviously decreased as compared with the sham operation group (P<0.05),which in the SAP-24 h group was significantly lower than that in the SAP-4 h group (P<0.05).② The AFCs in the SAP-4 h group and SAP-24 h group were obviously increased as compared with the sham operation group (P<0.05).The AFCs in the SAP with α1-adrenoceptor inhibitor-prazosin or α2-adrenocpetor inhibitor-yohimbine or prazosin combined with yohimbine were all obviously decreased as compared with the SAP group (P<0.05).③ The α1 adrenoceptor and α2 adrenoceptor mRNAs in the SAP-4 h group and SAP-24 h group were obviously increased as compared with the sham operation group (P<0.05). ConclusionAFC might be modulated by α-adrenoceptor in SAP rat.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of generic interleukin (IL)-17A gene knockout (IL-17AKO) on pancreatic and intestinal barrier on acute pancreatitis (AP) in mice. MethodsIL-17AKO mice and their wild type (WT) littermates were employed to induce AP using cerulein (CER) and sodium taurocholate (NaTC). In the CER-AP experiment, mice were randomly divided into three groups: WT control group, WT model group, and IL-17AKO model group (n=5). Mice in the model group were intraperitoneally injected with CER [50 μg/(kg·h), 7 injections], and control group received intraperitoneal injection the same amount of 0.9% NaCl. The mice were sacrificed at 12 hours after the first injection of CER. The levels of serum amylase, lipase and IL-6 were detected, and the pancreas was stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE). In the NaTC-AP experiment, WT mice were randomly divided into sham group (n=3) and operation model group (n=6). Similarly, IL-17AKO mice were also randomly allocated to sham group (n=3) and operation model group (n=6). The mice in the sham group underwent a surgical procedure on the abdomen only, whereas in the model group, 50 μL 3.5% NaTC dissolved in saline solution was pumped into the pancreatobiliary duct. Serum amylase, lipase, and IL-6 levels were detected. Pancreas was stained with HE, and intestine was stained with Alcian blue-periodic acid-Schiff, Dolichos Biflorus Agglutinin and bacteria fluorescence in situ hybridization. ResultsIn the CER-AP experiment, there were no significant differences in serum amylase, lipase, IL-6, and pathological changes including edema, inflammation, necrosis, and total pathological score of the pancreas between IL-17AKO and WT mice (P>0.05). In the NaTC-AP experiment, compared to the WT model group, IL-17AKO did not significantly impact serum amylase, lipase, and pancreatic pathological changes (P>0.05). However, it did lead to an increased level of IL-6 (P<0.05), and showed no significant protective effect on intestinal injury in NaTC-AP. Compared to WT mice of sham group, IL-17AKO mice of sham group exhibited decreased expressions of glycosylated mucin in ileum and colon, disordered mucus layer structure, and increased bacterial invasion. ConclusionsIL-17AKO has no significant protective effect on pancreatic and intestinal barrier damage in AP mice. Furthermore, it was discovered that prior to modeling, IL-17AKO mice exhibited higher bacterial invasion, intestinal barrier disruption, and a systemic inflammatory response. These findings imply that IL-17A plays a crucial role in immune responses and the maintenance of physiological intestinal barrier function in mice.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of total enteral nutrition (TEN) versus total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods The databases such as Pubmed (1996 to June 2011), EMbase (1984 to June 2011), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials of The Cochrane Library (Issue 6, 2011) and CBM (1978 to June 2011) were electronically searched, and the relevant references of the included papers were also manually searched. Two reviewers independently screened the trials according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and assessed the methodology quality. Meta-analyses were performed using the Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.1 software. Results Seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 379 patients with SAP were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that compared with TPN, TEN could significantly reduce the risk of mortality (RR=0.33, 95%CI 0.20 to 0.55, Plt;0.000 1), pancreatitis-related infections (RR=0.35, 95%CI 0.25 to 0.50, Plt;0.000 01), required rate of surgical intervention (RR=0.43, 95%CI 0.23 to 0.82, P=0.01), and incidence of multiple organ failure (MOF) (RR=0.28, 95%CI 0.17 to 0.46, Plt;0.000 01). There was no significant difference in the nutrition strategies associated complications between TPN and TEN (RR=1.16, 95%CI 0.42 to 3.22, P=0.78). Conclusion Meta-analyses show that compared with TPN, TEN can reduce the risk of mortality, pancreatitis-related infections, required rate of surgical intervention, and incidence of MOF; and it will not increase the nutrition strategies associated complications. Consequently, TEN should be considered a better choice for SAP patients as early as possible.
Objective To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of prophylactic use of antibiotics in preventing severe acute pancreatitis. Methods Randomized control trials (RCTs) of prophylactic use of antibiotics were identified from PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wangfang Database, and handly searched related literatures. The retrieval time was from inception to Dec. 2017. All the data would be analysis with the software RevMan 5.3. Results Eventually 16 RCTs of 999 participants were involved, the patients were divided into two groups: the intervention group (prophylactic use of antibiotics, n=501) and the control group (n=498). The result of meta-analysis showed that, the incidence rate of pancreatitis infectious disease and the incidence rate of peripancreatitis infectious were significant lower in the intervention group than the control group, whose OR were amount to 0.68 ［95% CI was (0.50, 0.93), P=0.02］ and 0.63 ［95% CI was (0.45, 0.88), P=0.007］ respectively. Meanwhile, concerning the rate of surgery intervention ［OR=0.79, 95% CI was (0.57, 1.08), P=0.14］ and in mortality rate ［OR=0.81, 95% CI was (0.56, 1.15), P=0.24］, there was no statistically significant. Conclusion Prophylactic antibiotic treatment can do benefit to reduce the incidence rate of pancreatitis infectious and the rate of peripancreatitis infectious disease, but can not reduce mortality in patients with severe acute pancreatitis and had no significant protective effect in patients in reducing the rate of surgery intervention and mortality rate.
