感染性休克在重症患者中占有相当大的比率,也是重症病房主要死亡的原因。因此感染性休克是重症医学研究的焦点和难点。临床工作中发现,感染性休克患者常伴有红细胞压积(hematocrit Hct)升高,血清白蛋白浓度(Serum albumin Alb)...感染性休克在重症患者中占有相当大的比率,也是重症病房主要死亡的原因。因此感染性休克是重症医学研究的焦点和难点。临床工作中发现,感染性休克患者常伴有红细胞压积(hematocrit Hct)升高,血清白蛋白浓度(Serum albumin Alb)降低,作者试图用二者之间的差值与急性生理与慢性健康评分(Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II APACHE II)及病死率进行相关性分析,现报道如下。展开更多

Methods: We conducted a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous administration of IGF-I (20 μ g/kg/day with dose escalation to 50-100 μ g/kg/day) for 4 months in patients with alcoholic or primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and subnormal IGF-I levels. Eight alcoholics and one PBC entered the placebo group and seven alcoholics and two PBC the treatment group. Biochemistry, body composition, muscle mass and strength, and resting energy expenditure (REE) were evaluated. Results: Total serum IGF-I and IGF-I/IGFBP-3 ratio (a surrogate marker of IGFI biovailability) increased in the treatment group but IGF-I values still remained below normal limits in the treated patients. No differences were observed in body composition, muscle strength or muscle mass between groups. However, IGF-I therapy increased significantly serum albumin (P = 0.038) and this improvement correlated positively with variation of IGFI/ IGFBP-3 ratio. IGF-I treatment also tended to increase REE (P = 0.085); this difference was significant (P = 0.049) in the subgroup of alcoholic patients. Conclusions: A short course of IGF-I increased albumin levels and tended to improve energy metabolism in liver cirrhosis. These findings warrant larger clinical trials to assess the clinical benefit of IGF-I in cirrhotic patients.展开更多
