Abstract
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine inflammatory mixture on vascular endothelial cell injury, mcrocirculation disorder and organ dysfunction in sepsis.
Methods73 patients with sepsis were randomly divided into two groups: Anti-inflammatory mixture-treated group (40 cases) and control group (33 cases). Routine medicine therapy was given in both groups. Additionally, in the Anti-inflammatory mixture-treated group, 100 ml Anti-inflammatory mixture was given By oral or nasal feeding, every 12 hours for consecutive 7 days. Vascular endothelial injury index (Soluble thrombomodulin,Vascular endothelial growth factor-2, endothelial specific molecule-1), mcrocirculation disorder index (arterial blood lactate, central venous oxygen saturation, total vessel density, perfused vessel density, proportion of perfused vessels, microcirculatory flow index) of two group patients before and after therapy were observed and the sequential organ failure score (SOFA) was recorded before and after treatment.
ResultsAfter treatment, the indexes of vascular endothelial injury sTM (12.37 ± 5.08 μg/L vs. 18.77 ± 6.88 μg/L, t=3.448), VEGF-2 [45.6 ng/L (14.3, 112.5) vs. 52.4 ng/L (17.2, 123.6), Z=4.009], ESM-1 (15.54 ± 4.09 ng/ml vs. 17.64 ± 6.79 ng/ml, t=-1.551), Lac (2.6 ± 1.2 mmol/L vs. 3.7 ± 1.8 mmol/L, t=4.115) and SOFA (4.1 ± 1.7 vs. 6.1 ± 3.2, t=-2.118) in anti-inflammatory mixture group decreased significantly than those in the control group. but the ScvO2 (0.719 ± 0.243 vs. 0.603 ± 0.201, t=-2.773), PVD (14.8 ± 5.8 mm/mm2vs. 13.1±5.1 mm/mm2, t=-5.114), PPV (59.1% ± 22.5% vs. 53.9% ± 20.6%, t=1.779), MFI (9.4 ± 4.6 vs. 7.2 ± 2.2, t=4.339) in the anti-inflammatory mixture group were significantly higher than those in the control group. Correlation analysis showed that the sTM and PPV were significantly negatively correlated (r=-0.875, P<0.01), ESM-1 was significantly negatively correlated with PVD, PPV and MFI (r=-0.877, P<0.01; r=-0.799, P<0.01; r=-0.821, P<0.01) and ESM-1 and SOFA were significantly positively correlated (r=0.840, P<0.01).
ConclusionsAnti-inflammatory mixture of Chinese medicine has a certain therapeutic effect on sepsis by protecting vascular endothelial cell function.
