Methods: State of GI blood flow perfussion in critically illed patients was estimated by intramural pH (pHi) of GI to observe the clinical effect of rhubarb on it, and experimental study was performed in hemorrhagic shocked rats. Results: Clinical study showed pHi level in septic patients was much lower than that in the control, whereas rhubarb could obviously elevate it (P<0.001). The clinical effective rate of rhubarb in treating stress ulcer caused hemorrhage was 73%. Animal study showed that though the shocked rats were resuscitated completely, their GI blood flow perfussion was much lower than that in the control. Rhubarb could significantly improve the blood perfusion of mucous membrane of GI and mesenterium (P<0.01) in shocked or normal rats. Conclusion: Rhubarb could improve the GI blood perfussion in critical illness and shocked rats.展开更多

However, the impact of primary percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） on blood perfusion in nonculprit arteries in patients with STEMI has not been clarified. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of primary PCI on blood perfusion in nonculprit arteries in patients with STEMI and correlated clinical factors. Methods A total of 117 patients with anterior wall STEMI, the culprit artery being the left anterior descending artery （LAD）, undergoing primary PCI （the study group） and 100 patients with normal coronary angiography （the control group） were enrolled. To observe the differences of corrected TIMI frame count （cTFC） and myocardial blush grade （MBG） before and after primary PCI in both culprit and nonculprit arteries, the left circumflex coronary artery （LCX）, cTFC and MBG in the LAD and LCX were measured in the study group and control group. The study group was divided into three groups; refiow in the culprit artery group （the R group）, no reflow in culprit artery group （the NR group）, and no reflow in both the culprit artery and nonculprit artery group （the NRB group） according to MBG grade. The level of serum C-reactive protein （CRP）, catecholamine, and fibroblast growth factor-21 （FGF21）were assayed. The clinical and angiographic characteristics were also analyzed. Results cTFC （28.1±24.3 vs. 20.3±19.3, P 〈0.05） and MBG in the LCX were different in the study group compared to the control group before primary PCI. cTFC （25.2±22.3 vs. 28.1±24.3, P 〈0.05） and the MBG level in the LCX were improved after successful primary PCI, but were not recovered to the normal level. Patients with no reflow in the culprit artery had a higher incidence of no-reflow in the nonculprit artery （78% vs. 19%, P 〈0.0001）, and the levels of CRP （（3.29±1.31） mg/dl vs. （2.51±1.14） mg/dl vs. （2.93±1.07） mg/dl, P 〈0.05, respectively）, catecholamine （（epinephrine （693.48±89.78） pg/ml vs. （398.12±93.28） pg/ml vs. （562.54±96.22） pg/ml, P 〈0.0001, respectively）, and norepinephrine （（7012.43±932.47） pg/ml vs. （4012.34±814.16） pg/ml vs. （5549.03＋912.65） pg/ml, P 〈0.0001, respectively））in the NRB group were higher than those in the R group and NR group. The level of FGF21 （（0.299±0.093） ng/ml vs. （0.612±0.071） ng/ml vs. （0.428±0.074） ng/ml, P 〈0.0001 respectively） in the NRB group was lower than that in the R group and NR group. Conclusions The blood perfusion in the nonculprit artery may be impaired in patients with STEMI. Although nonculprit artery perfusion may be improved after successful primary PCI, it is still lower than that in the control group, and may be involved in inflammation and spasms.展开更多
