This study aimed to explore the association between human leukocyte antigen-antigen D-related （HLA-DR） expression and multidrug-resistant infection in patients with SAP. A total of 24 SAP patients who were admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between May 2015 and December 2016 were enrolled in the study. The percentages of CD4^＋, CD8^＋, natural killer （NK）, and HLA-DR （CD14＋） cells and the CD4^＋/CD8^＋ cell ratio on days 1, 7, 14, and 28 after admission were determined by flow cytometry. Eighteen patients presented with the symptoms of infection. Among them, 55.6% patients （10/18） developed MDR infection. The most common causative MDR organisms were Enterobacter cloacae and Acinetobacter baumannii. The CD4＋/CD8＋ cell ratio and the percentage of NK cells were similar between patients with non-MDR and patients with MDR infections. In patients without infection, the HLA-DR percentage was maintained at a high level throughout the 28 days. Compared to the patients without any infection, the HLA-DR percentage in patients with non-MDR infection was reduced on day 1 but increased and reached similar levels on day 28. In patients with MDR infection, the HLA-DR percentage remained below normal levels at all-time points. It was concluded that persistent down-regulation of HLA-DR expression is associated with MDR bacterial infection in patients with SAP.展开更多

Maria” Bucharest). The technique was applied based on the therapeutically protocol previously established beginning with 2000. The OPLS technique was analyzed relatively to: timing of surgery, the localization of the infected necrosis or abscesses, growing germs on the cultures, antibiotics received, executed primarily or at reintervention, the number of debridement, hospitalization, morbidity and mortality. The information was statistically processed using SPSS test version 17 for Windows. Results: The OPLS technique improved the control of the local sepsis, in the retrospective/prospective study in 83.7%. Mortality was 16.3% (16/98), with a global mortality of 26.3% (75/285) and a postoperative mortality of 29.5% (66/224). Conclusions: Considering the fact that the intensive care techniques are approximately the same in the last 15 years, we thought that this improvement in the survival rate may be due to the application of OPLS in cases with indication and optimal timing for surgery.展开更多

This process involves complex changes in a variety of immune molecules and cells,such as cytokines,complements,lymphocytes,and leukocytes. With the gradual deepening of studies on the development and progression of SAP,the role of immune dysregulation in the pathogenesis of SAP has attracted more and more attention. In this article,we review the advances in research on the immune dysregulation in SAP and the immunotherapy of this disease through exploring the formation of excessive immune response and immune suppression as well as their mutual transformation.展开更多

Methods: Ninety mice were evenly divided into 3 groups(Sham, SAP, and SAP+DEX). The SAP mice model was established by ligature of pancreatic duct and intraperitoneal injection of cerulein. Renal perfusion and function, and morphological changes of the glycocalyx were evaluated by laser Doppler velocimetry, electron microscopy, and histopathology(hematoxylin and eosin(H&E) staining), respectively. Serum levels of syndecan-1 and TNF-α were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The proàtectiveì effects of dexamethasone on the glycocalyx and renal microcirculation were evaluated. Results: Significantly high levels of serum TNF-α were detected 3 h after the onset of SAP. These levels might induce degradation of the glycocalyx and kidney hypoperfusion, resulting in kidney microcirculation dysfunction. The application of dexamethasone reduced the degradation of the glycocalyx and improved perfusion of kidney. Conclusions: Dexamethasone protects the endothelial glycocalyx from inflammatory degradation possibly initiated by TNF-α during SAP. This is might be a significant discovery that helps to prevent tissue edema and hypoperfusion in the future.展开更多

Methods： A total of 288 rats were used for SAP- （n= 108） and O J-associated （n= 180） experiments. The rats were randomly divided into sham-operated, model control, and Salvia miltiorrhizae-treated groups. According to the difference of time points after operation, SAP rats in each group were subdivided into 3, 6 and 12 h subgroups （n=12）, whereas OJ rats were subdivided into 7, 14, 21, and 28 d subgroups （n=lS）. At the corresponding time points after operation, the mortality rates of the rats, the contents of endotoxin and phospholipase A2 （PLA：） in blood, and pathological changes of the hearts were investigated. Results： The numbers of dead SAP and OJ rats in the treated groups declined as compared with those in the model control group, but not significantly （P〉0.05）. The contents ofendotoxin （at 6 and 12 h in SAP rats and on 7, 14, 21, and 28 d in OJ rats, respectively） and PLA2 （at 6 and 12 h in SAP rats and on 28 d in OJ rats, respectively） in the treated group were significantly lower than those in the model control group （P〈0.01 and P〈0.001, respectively）. Besides, myocardial pathological injuries were mitigated in SAP and OJ rats. Conclusion： In this study, we found that Salvia rniltiorrhizae improved myocardial pathological changes, reduced the content of PLA2 in blood, and decreased the mortality rates of SAP and OJ rats, exerting protective effects on the hearts of the rats.展开更多

Methods: One hundred and sixty-two adult male SD rats with the body mass of 250–280 g were randomly divided into the following 5 groups: sham operation group (n=18), control group (n=36), Yihuo Qingyi Decoction treatment group (n=36), r-Sak treatment group (n=36), and Yihuo Qingyi Decoction plus r-Sak treatment group (n=36). The SAP ratmodel was prepared by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the cholangiopancreatic duct. Two days before modeling, Yihuo Qingyi Decoction was intragastrically administrated, and r-Sak was intraperitoneally injected. The survival rate within 18 h after modeling was determined. The pancreatic blood flow, the weight of ascites, and the serum amylase and lipase were investigated at 6 h, 12 h, and 18kh after modeling, and the pancreatic tissue was examined under light microscopy to see its pathological change. Results: The 18 h survival count of group A,B,C,D and E rats was 9,2,6,7 and 8 respectively. After r-Sak and Yihuo Qingyi Decoction intervention, the serum amylase and lipase and the weight of ascites were significantly decreased, especially in group E.18 h after modeling, the level of the serum amylase and lipase and the weight of ascites in group E was 1 100±118 U·L-1,1 000±150 U·L-1 and 13.40±1.80 g respectively, obviously lower than that of group B (P<0.05).After SAP was induced, the pancreatic blood flow showed a tendency to decrease, but the decrease extent in the treatment groups was smaller than that in the control group.18h after modeling, the pancreatic blood flow in group B and group E was 30.16±8.96 mL·100 g-1·min-1,and 129.10±42.58 mL·100 g-1·min-1 respectively, there was significant difference (P<0.05). The pathological change of the pancreatic tissue was alleviated in the treatment groups. Conclusion: Both r-Sak and Yihuo Qingyi Decoction play a beneficial role in the treatment of rat SAP and there is a synergistic effect between the two.展开更多
