This study aimed to evaluate the potential efficacy of immunomodulating therapy using Ulinastatin (UTI) plus Thymosin al (Tal) for improving organ function and reducing mortality in patients with severe sepsis. Methods A prospective study was carried out with randomized and controlled clinical analysis of 114 patients conforming to the enrollment standard. All patients had severe sepsis and received standard supportive care and antimicrobial therapy. Fifty-nine patients were also administered UTI plus Tal (defined as Group A), 55 patients were given a placebo (defined as Group B). Clinical parameters were determined by evaluation with the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II), multiple organ failure (MOF) and the Glasgow Coma Scores (GCS) on entry and after therapy on the 3rd, 8th, and 28th day. By flow cytometery and ELISA lymphocyte subsets and cytokines were analyzed. Survival analysis was determined by the Kaplan-Meier method at 28, 60, and 90 days. Results Based on comparison of the two groups, patients in Group A exhibited a better performance in organ failure scores which was noticeable soon after initiation of treatment. Patients in Group A also demonstrated a better resolution of pre-existing organ failures during the observation period. After initiation of treatment, significant improvements in the CD4^+/CD8^+ ratio, a quicker balance between proinflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor a, interleukin 6 and anti-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin 4 and interleukin 10 were found. This was followed by cumulative survival increases of 17.3% at 28 days, 28.9% at 60 days, and 31.4% at 90 days in Group A. The reduction in mortality was accompanied by a considerably shorter stay in the ICU and a shorter length of supportive ventilation, antimicrobial and dopamine therapy. Conclusion UTI plus Tal has a beneficial role in the treatment of severe sepsis.展开更多

The aim of this study is to investigate minimally invasive means of treating different types of Mirizzi syndrome. Methods Fifty-four patients diagnosed with Mirizzi syndrome were enrolled between July 2004 and May 2012. The diagnosis was further refined according to the Csendes classification. Twenty-seven patients were treated with a combination of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), laparoscopy, and choledochoscopy (tripartite approach group); type I in 16 cases, type II five cases, and type III in six cases. Twenty-seven patients were treated with laparotomy (routine approach group); type I in 19 cases, type II in six cases, and type III in two cases. The operation time, blood loss during operation, initiation of intake time of food, postoperative complications, and hospital stays were compared between two groups. Results All patients were successfully cured in surgical operation. The operation time was (49.7±27.5) minutes, blood loss during operation was (21.1±15.9) ml, initiation of intake time of food was (6.3±2.7) hours, postoperative complications were with two cases (7%, 2/27), and hospital stay was (6.7±1.8) days in the tripartite approach group. In the routine approach group, the operation time was (85.1±20.3) minutes, blood loss during operation was (150.3±20.5) ml, initiation of intake time of food was (36.6±10.3) hours, postoperative complications were with three cases (11%, 3/27), and hospital stay was (10.9±3.4) days. Except for postoperative complications, there were significant differences in the operation time, blood loss during operation, initiation of intake time of food, and hospital stays between two groups (P 〈0.05). Conclusions ERCP combined with laparoscopy and choledochoscopy is a safe and effective means of treating Mirizzi syndrome. The approach is minimally invasive and patients recover quickly requiring only brief hospitalization.展开更多
