ObjectiveTo explore the correlation of serum lipocalin-2 (LCN2) with inflammation and the predictive value of LCN2 for detecting acute kidney injury (AKI) in acute pancreatitis (AP).MethodsNighty-one patients with AP, who were admitted to Bazhong Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between June 2016 and June 2018, were enrolled in the present study. Clinical paramaters were analyzed between patients with AKI (n=29) and patients without AKI (n=62). The correlation of serum LCN2 with inflammation was assessed with Pearson’s correlation analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC AUC) for serum LCN2 predicting AKI in AP patients was assessed.ResultsCompared with the patients without AKI, the patients with AKI showed increased serum levels of C-reactive protein [(64.8±10.5) vs. (148.3±21.6) mg/L], procalcitonin [(3.5±2.3) vs. (4.8±3.9) μg/L], urea nitrogen [(5.5±2.1) vs. (6.6±2.8) mmol/L], creatinine [(80.3±28.1) vs. (107.3±30.8) μmol/L], interleukin-6 [(10.1±3.7) vs. (16.2±4.6) pg/mL], and LCN2 [(155.0±37.6) vs. (394.8±53.1) mg/mL], as well as decreased level of calcium [(2.6±1.3) vs. (2.0±1.0) mmol/L], the differences were all statistically significant (P<0.05). The serum level of LCN2 was correlated with C-reactive protein (r=0.694, P<0.05), interleukin-6 (r=0.762, P<0.05), and procalcitonin (r=0.555, P<0.05) in patients with AP. The ROC AUC of LCN2 for predicting AKI was 0.844 (P<0.05) , with a sensitivity of 81.3% and a specificity of 81.4% when the cut-off value was 210.2 ng/mL.ConclusionsSerum LCN2 concentration is elevated in patients with AKI. In patients with AP, serum LCN2 level is positively correlated with C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and procalcitonin. It can be regarded as a reliable indicator for predicting AKI.
Objective To evaluate the effect of early clinical interference strategies on preventing the conversion of acute pancreatitis to the severe form and aggravation of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods The patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to this hospital were divided into two therapeutic phases by different therapeutic methods from January 2001 to December 2008. Patients in the first phase (from January 2001 to December 2004) were treated by the routine management, and the second phase (from January 2005 to December 2008) by the routine management combined with early clinical interference strategies. Then, the ratio of conversion from acute pancreatitis to SAP and prognosis of SAP between two phases were compared. Results Compared with the first phase, the rate of aggravation of acute pancreatitis was significantly decreased in the second phase (4.48% vs. 21.18%), the average healing time of SAP, the incidences of systemic and local complications and the mortality of pancreatitis were reduced (P<0.05). When early clinical interference strategies were performed, some adverse reaction and complications occurred in 35 cases, but without severe consequence. Conclusion Early clinical interference strategies may serve as a beneficial strategy on preventing the progression of mild acute pancreatitis to the severe form or halting the aggravation of acute pancreatitis.
A review of patients with acute pancreatitis treated in this hospital in recent 10 years was made.To determine the risk factors of septic necrosis in and around the pancreas,32 cases with septic necrosis which were proved in surgical operation and 44 cases without septic necrosis(as control)were included in this study.The possible factors were comparatively analysed.The results showed that septic necrosis in and around the pancreas obviously related to the diagnostic or therapeutic punctures,early surgical drainage and paralytic ileus(OR 302-548,P<005),but there were no associations with age,etiology,shock,respiratory failure and total parenteral nutrition(OR 078-126,P>005).The authers suggest that either pancreatic,peripancreatic puncture or early surgical drainage should be limited and any medication which makes paralytic ileus deteriorated such as atropine should be avoided in the treatment of acute pancreatitis.
目的:探讨合理的营养支持方式对重症急性胰腺炎(SAP)患者营养状况及预后的影响。方法:将60例SAP患者随机分为全胃肠外营养支持(对照组)和肠内与肠外相结合营养支持(实验组)两组,对比营养支持前后两组患者的血红蛋白、总蛋白、血清白蛋白、氮平衡、血脂等生化指标,每天观察相关并发症情况。结果:实验组血清白蛋白、总蛋白、血红蛋白、氮平衡方面明显优于对照组(Plt;0.05),且并发症少。结论:肠内与肠外结合的营养支持方式可以改善SAP患者的营养状况,对SAP患者治疗有积极的作用。
ObjectiveTo determine the characters of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst due to acute pancreatitis and effects of surgical treatment with two kinds of procedure (internal drainage or external drainage). MethodsOne hundred and fifteen cases hospitalized during recent ten years were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsWe found that necrotic tissue existed in the pseudocyst in most cases and infection might occur in these pseudocyst. Although effect of two kinds of surgery was similar, the clinical course was different. The complications after surgery were fewer in patients underwent internal drainage than that with procedure of external drainage, and average hospital day was 7d in cases with internal drainage and 11d in cases with external one respectively. Surgery of internal drainage used in treatment was not only successful in noninfectious and single pseudocyst, but in infectious or multiple seudocyst.ConclusionInternal drainage should be used in most cases and considered as the first selection in surgery of pseudocyst due to acute pancreatitis.
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common clinical emergency of the abdomen with increasing incidence and lack of effective treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine, as a treasure of the Chinese people, has been used in the treatment of AP for decades with favorable therapeutic effects. Currently, clinical trials and experimental studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine has the effects of inhibiting pancreatic enzyme activity, anti-inflammation, promoting gastrointestinal dynamics, as well as delaying the progress of AP, improving clinical symptoms, reducing related complications, and reducing the mortality rate. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine has considerable clinic value in treating AP. Based on the related research progress and clinical practice of our team, the authors summarized the targets and mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in treating AP.
摘要:目的:探讨重症急性胰腺炎(SAP)继发感染的临床特点。方法:将我院20039~20053收治的SAP140例,按是否感染,分成感染组和对照组,对比分析其临床资料。结果:感染组病死率高于对照组(P=0023);感染组入院初期,Ranson评分、CT评分、APACHE Ⅱ评分、血糖、ARDS和肠麻痹发生率、感染前手术率及呼吸机辅助呼吸率高于对照组(Plt;005);以G感染胰腺、胰周围及肺部为主;肺部感染时间为107±25d,胰腺或胰周为176±29d。结论:急性期全身反应轻重及胰腺坏死程度是SAP继发感染的基础;临床有创治疗措施是促进因素。
