METHODS: Sixty-three patients with PC were ran- domized to conventional therapy plus XBJ injec- tion (n=33) or conventional therapy alone (n=30). Between groups differences in corticosteroid treat- ment, immune regulation therapy, hemofiltration, infusion volume, transfusion volume and antibiotic period were measured, as were intensive care unit(ICU)-free time, ventilation time, 28-day mortality rate and incidence of ventilation-associated pneu- monia (VAP). Serum concentrations of procalcito- nin (PCT), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), interleu- kin (IL)-6, and 11_-10, white blood cell (WBC) counts and percentages of human leukocyte antigen DR/ CD14+ (HLA-DR/CD14+) peripheral blood mononu- clear cells were compared. Markers of ventilation were determined by blood gas analysis and ventila- tor parameters. RESULTS: WBC counts and serum concentrations of PCT, TNF-a, 11.-6 and IL-10 were reduced signifi- cantly more quickly, and CD14+ percentage was in- creased significantly earlier, in the XBJ group than in the control group (P〈0.05 each). The level of ven- tilation and oxygenation index were ameliorated earlier in the XBJ than in the control group (P〈 0.05). XBJ treatment significantly reduced ICU-free time, ventilation time and incidence of VAP (P〈0.05 each), but had no effect on 28-day mortality rate (P〉0.05). CONCLUSION: XBJ treatment can shorten ICU-free and ventilation times and reduce the incidence of VAP, improving outcomes in patients with severe PC. XBJ may act by regulating inflammation and im- munity, alleviating systemic inflammatory response syndrome induced by trauma.展开更多
