METHODS: A jejunal sac was formed in Sprague Dawley rat. A Laser Doppler probe and a tonometer were inserted into the sac which was filled with saline. The superior mesenteric artery was occluded (SMAO)for 60 minutes followed by 90 minutes of reperfusion. At the end of 60 minutes of SMAO, either 0.2 mg/kg of anisodmine or dobutamine was injected into the jejunal sac. Laser Doppler mucosal blood flow and regional PCO2 (PrCO2)measurements were made. RESULTS: Mucosal blood flow was significantly increased at 30,60 and 90 minutes of reperfusion (R30, R60, R90) when intraluminal anisodamine or dobutamine was present compared to intraluminal saline only(44+/-3.3% or 48+/-4.1% vs 37+/-2.6% at R30, 57+/-5.0% or 56+/-4.7% vs 45+/-2.7% at R60, 64+/-3.3% or 56+/-4.2% vs 48+/-3.4% at R90,respectively P【0.05). Blood flow changes were also reflected by lowering of jejunal PrCO2 measurements after intraluminal anisodamine or dobutamine compared with that of the saline controls (41+/-3.1 mmHg or 44+/-3.0 mmHg vs 49+/-3.7 mmHg at R30,38+/-3.7 mmHg or 40+/-2.1 mmHg vs 47+/-3.8 mmHg at R60,34+/-2.1 mmHg or 39+/-3.0 mmHg vs 46+/-3.4 mmHg at R90, respectively, P【0.05). Most interesting finding was that there were significantly higher mucosal blood flow and lower jejunal PrCO2 in anisodamine group than those in dobutamine group at 90 minutes of reperfusion(64+/-3.3% vs 56+/-4.2% for blood flow or 34+/-2.1 mmHg vs 39+/-3.0 mmHg for PrCO2, respectively, P【0.05), suggesting that anisodamine had a more lasting effect on mucosal perfusion than dobutamine. CONCLUSION: Intraluminal anisodamine and dobutamine can augment mucosal blood flow during gut I/R and alleviate mucosal acidosis. The results provided beneficial effects on the treatment of splanchnic hypoperfusion following traumatic or burn shock.展开更多
A novel isocratic reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with photo diode array (PDA) detection method for the determination of dobutamine (DBT) in rat plasma was developed and validated ...A novel isocratic reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with photo diode array (PDA) detection method for the determination of dobutamine (DBT) in rat plasma was developed and validated after optimization of various chromatographic conditions and other experimental parameters. Homoveratrylamiue was used as an internal standard. Methanol was used as the extracting solvent for the preparation of plasma samples. Samples were separated on a Symmetry C18 (250ram x4.6mm i.d., 5 pro) analytical column. Acetonitrile and 15raM potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 5.0 with 0.3% TEA) (20:80, v/v) was used. The column oven temperature was optimized at 35 ~C and the flow rate was 0.8 mL/min. The detection wavelength was fixed at 230 nm for entire analysis. The calibration curve was found to be linear over the concentration range of 50-2000 ng/mL (ra=0.9992). The limit of quantification (LOQ) of the method was 50 ng/mL. The % RSD values of accuracy and precision values for intra and inter days were 〈 15% at quality control (QC) concentrations. Recovery, stability and robustness were studied within the acceptable range according to ICH guidelines. The method was efficiently applied to a pharmacokinetic study in healthy Wistar rats.展开更多

The results showed that among the 100 asynergic segments, 35 segments showed improvement after dobutamine infusion (group H) and no changes were observed in the remaining 65 segments (group N). The left ventricular echocardiographic score index decreased from 1.60±0. 35 to 1.44±0.36 ( n =20, P <0.01). During low dose dobutamine stress DTI, there was no difference in the values of velosity of S wave (V s) before dobutamine infusion between two groups. However, after dobutamine infusion, the values of V s and VR in group H were significantly higher than those in group N (V s:10.1±3.0 cm/s vs 7.3±2.2 cm/s, P <0.01; VR: 60 %±41 % vs 25 %±32 %, P <0.001). 95.7 % asynergic myocardial segments with VR≤0 had no viability while 86 % asynergic segments with VR>80 % were viable myocardium. It is concluded that the different reactions to dobutamine stress between hibernating and necrosis myocardium could be showed by DTI and it is more clinically significant when VR≤0 and VR>80 %.展开更多

Background: Little is known about prognosis of CS from non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Methods: Retrospective monocentric study of patients referred to an ICU during 2 years. Results: Despite aggressive management including intra-aortic balloon pump (31%), extra-renal replacement therapy (36%), extra-corporeal life support (8%), and catecholamine infusion (97%), in-hospital mortality was 46%. Toxic CS or CS related to deficiency carried a better outcome (mortality 5%). Post-myocardial infarction or post-cardiac arrest CS was associated with higher mortality. In the multivariate analyses, only SAPS II (OR 1.037;1.013 - 1.056;p = 0.0001), pulmonary hypertension (OR 4.8;1.3 - 17;p = 0.02), extra-renal replacement therapy (OR 2.9;1.3 - 6;p = 0.006), and dobutamine infusion (OR 0.44;0.2 - 0.96;p = 0.04) were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality. Conclusion: Dobutamine infusion was associated with a better outcome. Higher SAPS II, pulmonary hypertension, and extra-renal replacement therapy were associated with increased in-hospital mortality.展开更多

Various forms of stress testing have been investigated to detect obstructive CAD in diabetes mellitus. Ob-jectives: To assess the diagnostic value of dobutamine stress pulsed-wave Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) compared with standard wall motion analysis in de-tection of myocardial ischemia in diabetic patients with suspected CAD. Methods: The study comprised 46 diabetic patients with suspected CAD underwent dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) with DTI within 4 weeks before coronary angiography(CA). Dobutamine infusion started at 5 μ/kg/min and in-creased up to 40 μ/kg/min with additional atropine during submaximal heart rate responses. In addition to wall-motion score index (WMSI) analysis, pulsed- wave DTI examination of basal and mid segments of posteroseptal, lateral, anterior, inferior and antero- septal walls was performed. Myocardial velocities were measured at rest in the apical 4, 3 and 2-cham- ber views. The measurements were repeated at low dose (10 - 15 μ/kg/min) and at peak stress (40 μ/kg/min). DTI measurements included peak systolic velocity (S), peak early diastolic velocity (E) and peak late diastolic velocity (A) and the results were com-pared to WMSI analysis. Patients were classified into two groups according to CA results;group (I) di-abetics with positive CA (n = 27) and group (II) di-abetics with negative CA (n = 19). Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in duration of diabetes, global WMSI at rest or the ? changes (stress-rest/rest) of WMSI (P > 0.05). Global S and global E were significantly lower in group I compared to group II at peak stress (11.3 ± 3.7 cm/sec vs. 14.5 ± 2.2 cm/sec, p < 0.01) and (11.3 ± 1.6 cm/sec vs. 13.1 ± 2.1 cm/sec, p < 0.01) respectively. The cutoff points for global S and global E to detect obstructive CAD in diabetics were 11.3 cm/s and 11.2 cm/s re-spectively with 75.7%, 73.4% sensitivity and 94.7%, 89.47% specificity respectively. An increment (? changes) less than 0.56 in S or 0.26 in E from rest to peak stress identified CAD with 78.8 %, 89.3% sensi-tivity and 94.7%, 90.7% specificity respectively. The accuracy of DTI parameters during peak stress was higher than WMSI analysis (sensitivity 74.1% vs. 59.3% and specificity 90% vs. 79%, P < 0.01 for each). In multivariate regression analysis, only ?S and ?E were independent predictors of obstructive CAD in diabetics (odd ratio: 36.16, 95% CI, 1.34- 532.01 and 63.77, 95% CI, 3.19-721.47) respectively. Conclusion: Quantitative analysis, using DTI during DSE, adds new dimension in diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. It is more sensitive, specific, accurate and reproducible compared with standard wall motion analysis for recognition of significant CAD in diabetic patients.展开更多

The classic echocardiographic findings of ischemia are new or worsening abnormalities of radial wall thickening. However, interpretation of these findings is subjective and dependent on experience. Speckle tracking strain imaging (STI) has been introduced as a novel method to overcome these limitations. Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the value of speckle tracking imaging (STI) by estimating the mean global longitudinal systolic (GLS) and the mean global circumferential systolic (GCS) strain imaging at recovery period of dobutamine stress echocardiography for prediction of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with chest discomfort. Methods: Fifty three patients presented for evaluation of chest discomfort underwent dobutamine stress echocardiography and coronary angiography at Cardiology Department,Menoufia University Hospital. The mean global left ventricular longitudinal systolic strain (GLS) at apical views—3 chambers, 4 chambers & 2 chambers apical views and global left ventricular circumferential systolic strain (GCS) at short axis view at level of papillary muscle were measured at rest and during recovery period of dobutamine stress echocardiography using automated functional imaging (AFI). Coronary angiography was done for all patients. Significant coronary artery lesion was defined as having a ≥ 70% diameter stenosis on coronary angiography. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of significant coronary artery lesion into CAD positive (+ve) group vs. CAD negative (-ve) group. Results: In both groups,there were no statistically significant differences in the clinical characteristics and baseline conventional transthoracic echocardiography. GLS and GSC at recovery were lower in the CAD (+ve) group than in the CAD (-ve) group (-16.69% ± 1.10% vs -19.05% ± 1.41% p ). GLS and GCS during recovery period of DSE were valuable for prediction of CAD when cutoff at recovery is less than -17.95% (sensitivity of 84% & specificity of 84%) for GLS and less than -20.2% (sensitivity of 76% & specificity of 84%) for GCS. Also, we observed that the GLS and GCS percentile decreased from baseline to recovery period of DSE by about -9.95% ± 4.82% and -7.72% ± 3.90% respectively. Conclusion: Speckle tracking Imaging GLS and GCS at recovery period of Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography is feasible and offers an objective technique for prediction of significant coronary artery disease with increasing the accuracy of DSE in patient with chest discomfort.展开更多

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 555 African American patients between 1/1/2001-12/31/2001. DSE responses were classified into normal, ischemia, scar, or scar +/? ischemia. End-points utilized were all cause death (ACD) and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Results: There were a total of 409 obese patients and 146 non-obese patients. By multi-variate analysis only the scar group in the obese population predicted ACD (p = 0.003) and combined MACE (p = 0.014). Kaplan Meir analysis demonstrated that only the scar group was associated with decrease in freedom from all cause death (p < 0.001) and combined MACE (p < 0.001). Conclusion: DSE retains its prognostic power in the obese African American population and scar has important impli-cations for MACE.展开更多

文摘AIM: To determine if anisodamine is able to augment mucosal perfusion during gut I/R ischemia-reperfusion. METHODS: A jejunal sac was formed in Sprague Dawley rat. A Laser Doppler probe and a tonometer were inserted into the sac which was filled with saline. The superior mesenteric artery was occluded (SMAO)for 60 minutes followed by 90 minutes of reperfusion. At the end of 60 minutes of SMAO, either 0.2 mg/kg of anisodmine or dobutamine was injected into the jejunal sac. Laser Doppler mucosal blood flow and regional PCO2 (PrCO2)measurements were made. RESULTS: Mucosal blood flow was significantly increased at 30,60 and 90 minutes of reperfusion (R30, R60, R90) when intraluminal anisodamine or dobutamine was present compared to intraluminal saline only(44+/-3.3% or 48+/-4.1% vs 37+/-2.6% at R30, 57+/-5.0% or 56+/-4.7% vs 45+/-2.7% at R60, 64+/-3.3% or 56+/-4.2% vs 48+/-3.4% at R90,respectively P【0.05). Blood flow changes were also reflected by lowering of jejunal PrCO2 measurements after intraluminal anisodamine or dobutamine compared with that of the saline controls (41+/-3.1 mmHg or 44+/-3.0 mmHg vs 49+/-3.7 mmHg at R30,38+/-3.7 mmHg or 40+/-2.1 mmHg vs 47+/-3.8 mmHg at R60,34+/-2.1 mmHg or 39+/-3.0 mmHg vs 46+/-3.4 mmHg at R90, respectively, P【0.05). Most interesting finding was that there were significantly higher mucosal blood flow and lower jejunal PrCO2 in anisodamine group than those in dobutamine group at 90 minutes of reperfusion(64+/-3.3% vs 56+/-4.2% for blood flow or 34+/-2.1 mmHg vs 39+/-3.0 mmHg for PrCO2, respectively, P【0.05), suggesting that anisodamine had a more lasting effect on mucosal perfusion than dobutamine. CONCLUSION: Intraluminal anisodamine and dobutamine can augment mucosal blood flow during gut I/R and alleviate mucosal acidosis. The results provided beneficial effects on the treatment of splanchnic hypoperfusion following traumatic or burn shock.

文摘Summary: In order to assess the value of Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) in detecting viable hibernating myocardium, 20 patients with coronary artery disease and chronic left ventricular dysfunction underwent low dose dobutamine stress echocardiography and low dose dobutamine stress DTI. The results showed that among the 100 asynergic segments, 35 segments showed improvement after dobutamine infusion (group H) and no changes were observed in the remaining 65 segments (group N). The left ventricular echocardiographic score index decreased from 1.60±0. 35 to 1.44±0.36 ( n =20, P <0.01). During low dose dobutamine stress DTI, there was no difference in the values of velosity of S wave (V s) before dobutamine infusion between two groups. However, after dobutamine infusion, the values of V s and VR in group H were significantly higher than those in group N (V s:10.1±3.0 cm/s vs 7.3±2.2 cm/s, P <0.01; VR: 60 %±41 % vs 25 %±32 %, P <0.001). 95.7 % asynergic myocardial segments with VR≤0 had no viability while 86 % asynergic segments with VR>80 % were viable myocardium. It is concluded that the different reactions to dobutamine stress between hibernating and necrosis myocardium could be showed by DTI and it is more clinically significant when VR≤0 and VR>80 %.
文摘Objective: Prognostic analysis of 249 patients admitted for cardiogenic shock (CS) of various origins. Background: Little is known about prognosis of CS from non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Methods: Retrospective monocentric study of patients referred to an ICU during 2 years. Results: Despite aggressive management including intra-aortic balloon pump (31%), extra-renal replacement therapy (36%), extra-corporeal life support (8%), and catecholamine infusion (97%), in-hospital mortality was 46%. Toxic CS or CS related to deficiency carried a better outcome (mortality 5%). Post-myocardial infarction or post-cardiac arrest CS was associated with higher mortality. In the multivariate analyses, only SAPS II (OR 1.037;1.013 - 1.056;p = 0.0001), pulmonary hypertension (OR 4.8;1.3 - 17;p = 0.02), extra-renal replacement therapy (OR 2.9;1.3 - 6;p = 0.006), and dobutamine infusion (OR 0.44;0.2 - 0.96;p = 0.04) were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality. Conclusion: Dobutamine infusion was associated with a better outcome. Higher SAPS II, pulmonary hypertension, and extra-renal replacement therapy were associated with increased in-hospital mortality.

The subjects were divided into the control group (n=35) and the treatment group (n=35) randomly. The control group was treated with dobutamine, the treatment group were treated with dobutamine combined with meropenem. The two groups were treated for 10 days. The serum BNP, IGF-1, IGFBP-3, TNF-a, IL-6 and hs-CRP levels of the two groups before and after treatment were compared.Results: There were no significantly differences of the serum BNP, IGF-1, IGFBP-3, TNF-a, IL-6 and hs-CRP levels of the two groups before treatment. The serum BNP, TNF-a, IL-6 and hs-CRP levels of the two groups after treatment were significantly lower than before treatment, the serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels of the two groups after treatment were significantly higher than before treatment, and that of the treatment group were significantly better than the control group.Conclusion:Dobutamine combined with meropenem can significantly reduce the serum BNP, TNF-a, IL-6 and hs-CRP levels, improve serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels of children with congenital heart disease and pneumonia, and it was worthy clinical application.
文摘Background: The predictive value of Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography (DSE) in the obese African American patient population is not well known. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 555 African American patients between 1/1/2001-12/31/2001. DSE responses were classified into normal, ischemia, scar, or scar +/? ischemia. End-points utilized were all cause death (ACD) and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Results: There were a total of 409 obese patients and 146 non-obese patients. By multi-variate analysis only the scar group in the obese population predicted ACD (p = 0.003) and combined MACE (p = 0.014). Kaplan Meir analysis demonstrated that only the scar group was associated with decrease in freedom from all cause death (p < 0.001) and combined MACE (p < 0.001). Conclusion: DSE retains its prognostic power in the obese African American population and scar has important impli-cations for MACE.
文摘目的探究多巴酚丁胺联合硝酸甘油在实施控制性低中心静脉压(CLCVP)技术中的应用效果及其对患者血流动力学的影响。方法50例肝部分切除(切除≥2个肝叶)患者,随机分为N组(24例)和D组(26例)。在手术开始至切肝及止血完成阶段,N组使用硝酸甘油维持中心静脉压(CVP)<5 cm H_(2)O(1 cm H_(2)O=0.098 kPa),D组使用多巴酚丁胺联合硝酸甘油维持CVP<5 cm H_(2)O。比较两组手术情况[手术时间、肝切除后(T4)和术毕(T5)输液量、尿量、术中出血量],CVP、心脏指数(CI),术野等级,血红蛋白(Hb)、红细胞比容(HCT)水平,肝、肾功能指标[谷丙转氨酶(ALT)、谷草转氨酶(AST)、肌酐(Cr)、尿素氮(BUN)]。结果D组手术时间(222.8±81.6)min较N组的(277.1±61.3)min短,T5输液量(2946.1±398.6)ml及术中出血量(223.0±115.5)ml较N组的(3233.5±444.3)、(404.8±219.6)ml少(P<0.05);两组T4输液量及尿量比较无差异(P>0.05)。与N组比较,D组在手术开始后15 min(T2)时的CVP明显低于N组(P<0.05);诱导后(T1)、肝切除开始(T3)、T4时D组CVP与N组比较无统计学意义(P>0.05);两组CVP在T2、T3、T4时均较T1低(P<0.05),在T5时恢复至接近T1水平(P>0.05)。D组在T3时的CI明显高于N组(P<0.05);D组在T1、T2、T4、T5时的CI与N组比较无统计学差异(P>0.05);N组在T1~T4时CI组内比较无统计学意义(P>0.05),在T5时CI较T1时高(P<0.05);D组在T2、T3、T5时CI较T1时高(P<0.05),T4时CI与T1比较无统计学差异(P>0.05)。D组术中术野等级优于N组,有统计学差异(P<0.05)。D组在T4、T5的Hb、HCT均较N组高(P<0.05);两组T1时的Hb、HCT无统计学差异(P>0.05);两组患者Hb、HCT在T4和T5时均较T1降低(P<0.05)。两组术前及术后第1、3、7天ALT、AST、BUN、Cr比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05);两组术后第1、3、7天BUN和Cr与术前比较,无统计学差异(P>0.05);两组ALT、AST在术后第1、3天均较术前增高(P<0.05),术后第7天与术前比较无统计学差异(P>0.05)。结论在实施CLCVP技术中应用多巴酚丁胺联合硝酸甘油可更有效降低CVP,维持循环稳定,并减少术中出血量。
