ABSTRACT Objective::To discuss the influence of ulinastatin on serum Interleukin-6(IL-6) and Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels of patients with septic shock. Methods:4 cases of patients with septic shock were selected and divided into the observation group and controlled group at random. The patients in both groups were given fluid expansion, anti infection, maintenance of water and electrolyte acid base balance and other medical treatment. The mechanical ventilation and vasoactive agent were used when necessary. The patients in observation was additionally given 200 000 U Ulinastatin, which was added into 100ml 0.9% sodium chloride injection by intravenous drip for 12 hours. The patients in the controlled group were given 0.9% sodium chloride injection by intravenous drip with the same quantity as that in the observation group. The courses of treatment in the two groups were 1 week. The changes of serum IL-6, IL-10 and PCT levels of the two groups were compared before and after the medical treatment, and the occurrence rate of their multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), case fatality rate and drug adverse reaction (DAR) were observed after the medical treatment. Results:After 1 week’s medical treatment, serum IL-6 and PCT levels of the patients in the two groups declined more obviously than before, while serum IL-10 level rose more obviously than before (P<0.05 or 0.01), and the declining or rising rate of the patients in the observation group were much higher than those in the controlled group (P<0.05). The MODS occurrence rate of the patients in the observation group was much lower than that in the controlled group (P<0.05). After comparing the case fatality rate and DAR occurrence rate, no statistical difference could be found(P>0.05). No serious DAR appeared during the medical treatment. Conclusion:Ulinastatin combined with basic medical treatment had its reliable and remarkable medical treatment effect on patients with septic shock with high security, and could obviously reduce the MODS occurrence rate, whose curative effect was closely related with the inhibition of the release of serum IL-6 and PCT and promotion of the release of IL-10. |
