Methods: All septic shock patients admitted in the Intensive Care Unit of the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 1 st, 2014 to December 31 th, 2015, were reviewed, and totally 65 were enrolled in this study. They were assigned to SFI group(33 cases) and control group(32 cases). All 65 patients underwent conventional treatment mainly including volume resuscitation, antibiotics and vasoactive drugs therapy. The patients of the SFI group received additional 100 mL of SFI intravenously every 12 h. In all 65 patients, the PICCO arterial catheter and vein catheter were implanted within 1 h after the diagnosis of septic shock. In the course of early volume resuscitation, hemodynamic data of patients were recorded by PICCO monitor at 0, 12, and 24 h after the catheter implantation. Results: The hemodynamic indices of the two groups showed no significant differences at the beginning of 0 h(P>0.05). At 12 and 24 h, the hemodynamic indices of SFI group were significantly improved in comparison with the control group(P<0.05), including cardiac index(CI), global end diastolic volume index(GEDI), mean arterial pressure(MAP) and heart rate(HR). In addition, there was no significant change of extra-vascular lung water index between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion: SFI significantly improved hemodynamic indices such as CI, GEDI, MAP and HR in early volume resuscitation treated septic shock patients.展开更多

ATPase 2a （SERCA2a） in a pig model with post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction. Methods： Ventricular fibrillation （VF） was electrically induced in Wu-zhi-shan miniature pigs. After 8 min of untreated VF and 2 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation （CPR）, all animals were randomly administered a bolus injection of saline placebo （SA group, n=10）, SFI （0.8 mg/kg, SFI group, n=10） or epinephrine （20 t~ g/kg, EPI group, n=10）. After 4 min of CPR, a 100-J shock was delivered. If the defibrillation attempt failed to attain restoration of spontaneous circulation （ROSC）, manual chest compressions were rapidly resumed for a further 2 rain followed by a second defibrillation attempt. Hemodynamic variables were recorded, and plasma concentrations of catecholamines were measured. Adenylate cyclase （AC）, cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP） and the expressions of 13 1-adrenoceptor （AR） and SERCA 2a were determined. Results： Cardiac output, left ventricular dp/dtr,~x and negative dp/dtm^x were significantly higher in the SFI group than in the SA and EPI groups at 4 and 6 h after ROSC. The expression of 13 1-AR and SERCA2a at 24 h after ROSC were significantly higher in the SFI group than in the SA and EPI groups （P〈0.05 or P〈0.01）. Conclusions： The administration of epinephrine during CPR decreased the expression of SERCA2a and aggravated postresuscitation myocardial function （P〈0.01）. SFI attenuated post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction, and the mechanism might be related to the up-regulation of SERCA2a expression.展开更多

We hypothesized that SFI may also have an influence on myocardial metabolism during ventrictdar fibrillation （VF）. In this study, we used SFI pretreatment prior to VF to discuss the changes of myocardial metabolism and catecholamine （CA） levels during untreated VF, trying to provide new evidence to the protection of SFI to myocardiurn. Methods： Twenty-four pigs were divided into three groups： Saline group （SA group）, SFI group, and SHAM operation group （SHAM group）. Thirty minutes prior to the induction of VF, the SFI group received 0.24 mg/ml SFI through an intravenous injection： the SA group received an equal amount of sodium chloride solution. The interstitial fluid from the left ventricle （LV） wall was collected through the microdialysis tubes during VF. Adenosine diphosphate （ADP）, adenosine triphosphate （ATP）, and Na^＋-K^＋-ATPase and Ca2^＋-ATPase enzyme activities were measured after untreated VF. Peak-to-trough VF amplitude and median frequency were analyzed for each of these 5-s intervals. Results： The levels of glucose and glutamate were lower after VF in both the SA and SFI groups, compared with baseline, and the levels in the SFI group were higher than those in the SA group. Compared with baseline, the levels of lactate and the lactate/pyruvate ratio increased after VF in both SA and SFI groups, and the levels in the SFI group were lower than those in the SA group. In both the SA and SFI groups, the levers of dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine increased significantly. There were no statistical differences between the two groups. The content of ATE ADE and phosphocreatine in the SF1 group was higher than those in the SA group. The activity ofLV Na^＋-K^＋-ATPase was significantly higher in the SFI group than in the SA group. Amplitude mean spectrum area （AMSA） was significantly lower in the SA and SFI groups at 8- and 12-min compared with 4-min. The AMSA in the SFI group was higher than that in the SA group at each time point during untreated VF. Conclusions： SFI pretreatment can improve myocardial metabolism and reduce energy exhaustion during VF, and it does not aggravate the excessive secretion of endogenous CAs.展开更多

In our previous study, we ...Background Post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction has been implicated as a major cause of fatal outcome in patients who survive initially successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation （CPR）. In our previous study, we found that impaired myocardial β-adrenergic receptor （AR） signaling is a key mechanism in post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction and Shen-Fu injection （SFI） can attenuate post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction. However, whether SFI can prevent impaired post-resuscitation myocardial β-AR signaling is not yet known. In this study, we investigated the effect of SFI on impaired myocardial β-AR signaling occurring post-resuscitation in a porcine model of cardiac arrest. Methods Ventricular fibrillation was induced electrically in anesthetized male landrace domestic pigs. After 4 minutes of untreated ventricular fibrillation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated. Sixteen successfully resuscitated pigs were randomized to receive a continuous infusion of either SFI （0.5 ml/min; n=8） or saline （placebo; n=8） for 6 hours, beginning 15 minutes after the return of spontaneous circulation （ROSC）. Hemodynamic and echocardiographic data were recorded. β-AR signaling was assessed at 6 hours after the intervention by measuring myocardial adenylate cyclase activity, β-AR density and β-AR kinase expression. Results Treatment with SFI produced better maximum rate of left ventricular pressure increase （dp/dtmax） and maximum rate of left ventricular pressure decline （-dp/dtmax）, cardiac output, and ejection fraction after ROSC. SFI treatment was also associated with lower myocardial β-adrenergic receptor kinase expression, whereas basal and isoproterenol- stimulated adenylate cyclase activity and the total β-AR density were significantly increased in the SFI group when compared with the placebo group. Conclusion SFI attenuated post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction by preventing impaired myocardial β-AR signaling after CPR.展开更多

In Group SF, the patients received intravenous injection of SF (0.5 ml/kg) at the beginning of the surgery followed by a continuous infusion of 100 ml SF (1.0 ml/kg) solution diluted by saline at a rate of 0.004 ml · Kg-1 · min-1 with a Grasby pump. The control group was injected with normal saline in the same volume. Gastric intramucosal pH (pHi), activity of blood diamine oxidase ( DAO ), and concentrations of blood LPS and IL-6 were measured before CPB ( S0) and 1 h ( S1 ) and 2 h ( S2) after aortic declamping, respectively.Results: In Group C, pHi value was significantly lower at S1 and S2 than at S0 ( mean P <0.01) and blood DAO and concentrations of LPS and IL-6 were significantly higher at S1 and S2 than at S0 ( meanP < 0.01). In Group SF, pHi was obviously lower at S1 and S2 than at S0(P< 0.05) but LPS and IL-6 levels and DAO were higher at S, (mean P<0.05). Blood DAO and LPS level demonstrated significant negative correlations with pHi ( mean P < 0.01) while LPS concentration showed a positive correlation with blood DAO (P < 0.01) and IL-6 concentration (P < 0.05). At S1 and S2 after aortic declamping, the levels of pHi were higher in Group SF than in Group C (mean P <0.01 ) but DAO and LPS and IL-6 levels were significantly lower in Group SF than in Group C ( P <0.01).Conclusions: SF has a protective effect on gastrointestinal tract and can reduce inflammatory actions.展开更多

Methods： After 8-min untreated ventricular fibrillation and 2-min basic life support, 24 pigs were divided into 3 groups with a random number table, i.e. SFI group, epinephrine（EP） group, and saline（SA） group（8 in each group）, which received central venous injection of SFI（1.0 m L/kg）, EP（0.02 mg/kg） and SA, respectively. The same procedure without CA initiation was achieved in the sham-operated（sham） group（n=6）. After successful return of spontaneous circulation（ROSC）, apoptosis rate of splenic Treg was detected by flow cytometry; and the m RNA expression of forkhead/winged helix transcription factor（Foxp3） of splenic Treg was detected by real time-polymerase chain reaction; and the levels of interleukin-4（IL-4） and interferon-γ（IFN-γ） in porcine splenic Treg were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. Results： Compared with the sham group, the apoptosis rate of Treg was significantly decreased, and the levels of Foxp3 m RNA expression, IFN-γ, IL-4 and IFN-γ/IL-4 were increased in the SA group（P〈0.05 or P〈0.01）. Compared with the EP and SA groups, SFI treatment increased the apoptosis rate of Treg and reduced the levels of Foxp3 m RNA expression, IFN-γ and IFN-γ/IL-4（P〈0.05）. Conclusions： SFI has significant effects in attenuating post-resuscitation immune dysfunction by modulating apoptosis of Treg in the spleen.展开更多
