Methods： Twenty four cases of patients with rheumatic heart disease were enrolled in this study to detect the situation of PMN activation and the degree of lung injury. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF） and blood samples were collected just after anaesthesia and 4 h postoperatively. Related clinic data were recorded. Results： This cohort included 4 male and 20 female with age ranging from 29 to 69 years old, and body mass from 37 to 73 kg. Mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was （106.46±33.58） rain, mean cross clamp time was （77.58_＋28.02） rain, and mean mechanical ventilation time was （24.17±30.90） h. Postoperative PaO2/FiO2 decreased significantly than that during preoperation （P=0.000）. The postoperative WBC counts in peripheral blood and in BALF were both increased significantly than those during preoperation. And the postoperative rates of PMN in BALF were also increased significantly. Postoperative neutriphil elastase （NE） and myeloperoxidase （MPO） released from inflammatory ceils were increased significantly （P=0.000） both in plasma and BALF. The postoperative yon Willebrand factor （vWF） concentration in plasma was also increased significantly （P=0.000）. The postoperative concentration of sLPI in plasma was decreased, whereas it was increased significantly in BALF. Furthermore, there was a negative correlation between NE and PaO2/FiO2 both in BALF and in plasma. A negative correlation was present between vWF in plasma and PaO2/FiO2. A positive correlation was found between sLPI in plasma and PaO2/FiO2. Conclusion： PMN is recruited and activated after CPB and released large quantity of proteases, and lead to lung injury, sLPI is an important protective factor against inflammatory injury.展开更多

Methods： Thirty congenital ventricular septal defect （VSD） patients aged from 5 to 10 years old were randomly divided into 2 groups equally. Group A underwent traditional arrested heart intracardiac procedures ; group B underwent beating-heart procedures. Specimens of myocardium were obtained at the onset （baseline） and the end of cardiopulmonary bypass （CPB） for the determination of TNF a mRNA. Concentration of TNF-α was respectively measured after anesthetic induction （T1）, 20 min after the beginning of CPB （T2）, at the end of CPB （T3） and 6, 12, 24 h after CPB （T4-6） in all patierits： After separating polymorphonuclear leucocyte （PMN）, we distilled nuclear protein and mensurated the activation of nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） by elec-trophoretic mobility shift assay （EMSA）. Results ：Compared with baseline, the expression of TNF-κ mRNA significantly increased in both groups （P〈0. 05）. TNF-α mRNA level of group A was significantly higher than that of group B at the end of CPB （P〈0.05）. The plasma concentration of TNF-α and neutrophil NF-κB activity in group A was significantly higher than that of group B at T,4-6（P〈0.05）. Conclusion：Compared with traditional arrested CPB, beating heart intracadiac procedure can effectively reduce the expression and release of TNF-α; it will benefit the protection of pediatric myocardial during CPB.展开更多

How to objectively evaluate brain function after CPR is essential to the following treatment. Coma patients after CPR had been studied prospectively at the Neuro-Intensive Care Unit of Xuanwu Hospital since 2002. In this study, we focused on the topic of how to evaluate the severity of coma after CPR . Methods From April 2002 to November 2004, patients in coma 24 hours after CPR were monitored, the evaluation methods included Glasgow coma score （GCS） , brain stem reflection, and spinal reflection. Laboratory evaluation included electroencephalography （EEG）, brainstem auditory evoked potential （BAEP）, short latency somatosensory evoked potential （SLSEP）, and transcranial Doppler （TCD） .Results Twenty-four of 35 patients（68.57% ）were in deep coma. The GCS was 3 except for 2 patients;EEG was evaluated not less than grade Ⅳ except for 4 patients, BAEP was evaluated as grade Ⅲ except for 3 patients, and SLSEP was evaluated as grade Ⅲ except for 1 patient. Twenty-four patients died within 1 month and 11 of them （ 45. 83% ） were determined as brain death. Glasgow outcome score （GOS） was evaluated as grade Ⅰ. Eleven of the 35 patients survived and their consciousness changed from deep coma to coma vigil. EEG was evaluated as grade Ⅰ in 5 patients, BAEP and SLSEP were evaluated as grade Ⅰ in 3 patients, and GOS was all evaluated as grade Ⅱ among the 11 patients. Two patients（ 18.18% ）regained consciousness in 35 and 90 days after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and GOS was evaluated as grade Ⅳ and Ⅲ, respectively. Conclusion objectively Combined or continuous evaluation of clinical examinations and laboratory tests can accurately determine brain function after CPR.展开更多
