[Journal Article]Song Lingling, Lan Xiaoyan, Huang Gelun et al.-China Medicine2025, No.07

Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of early application of edaravone and dexborneol in the treatment of H-type hypertension with first stroke after intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase and changes of pro-inflammatory cytokine levels.Methods A total of 140 patients with H-type hypertension and first-episode cerebral infarction admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Nanning,Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 2020 to December 2023 were enrolled.All patients received intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase,as well as edaravone and dexborneol was given intravenous infusion within 24 h after thrombolysis.The clinical efficacy was evaluated after 14 d of treatment,and the levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in patients with different treatment effects were compared.Restricted cubic spline model(RCS)was used to analyze the relationship between the above indicators and the treatment effect.Results After 14 d of treatment,2 cases were cured,69 cases were markedly effective,44 cases were effective,and 25 cases were ineffective.There were 115 cases(82.1%)in the effective group and 25 cases(17.9%)in the ineffective group.The infarct size and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score after 14 d of treatment in the ineffective group were greater/higher than those in the effective group(all P<0.05).At 12,24 and 72 h after treatment,the levels of hs-CRP,IL-6,TNF-α and homocysteine in the ineffective group were higher than those in the effective group(all P<0.05).RCS analysis showed that the levels of hs-CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α had a non-linear dose-response relationship with the response to intravenous thrombolysis combined with edaravone and desborneol.The incidence of poor 90-day prognosis in patients with high hs-CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α levels was higher than that in patients with low hs-CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α levels(all P<0.05).Conclusion Early administration of edaravone and dexborneol after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with H-type hypertension and cerebral infarction could provide cerebral protection.The levels of hs-CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α showed non-linear dose-response relationship with the therapeutic effect.

Research progress on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation assisted respiratory therapy for acute respiratory distress syndrome
[Journal Article]Xie Yaxin, Fu Hongfu, Wang Hong-China Medicine2025, No.08

Abstract:For patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS),veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(VV-ECMO)can drain blood from the venous system through a gas exchange device and then return to the venous system,thereby promoting oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal in ARDS patients,and allowing the natural lung to achieve"lung rest"during this period.However,there is still a lack of consensus on the optimal ventilator setting during VV-ECMO in the treatment of severe ARDS.In recent years,lung protective ventilation has been widely used,and prone position ventilation and inhaled nitric oxide can also be used as options for the treatment of ARDS patients.The purpose of this review is to describe the application of VV-ECMO in ARDS patients and the ventilation strategy.

Progress in optimization of lung protective ventilation strategy in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome
[Journal Article]Lei Hui, Song Shengren, Zhang Xianming-China Medicine2025, No.09

Abstract:Acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)poses a severe challenge to the treatment of mechanical ventilation due to its complex pathophysiological characteristics.Optimization of lung protective ventilation strategy is considered to be the key to reduce the incidence of ventilation-induced lung injury and improve the prognosis of patients.However,due to the regional heterogeneity of lung lesions in ARDS patients,a single ventilation parameter setting is difficult to meet individual needs.In recent years,monitoring techniques based on respiratory mechanics,such as respiratory electromyography and esophageal manometry,have made it possible to accurately regulate personalized ventilation parameters.Respiratory electromyography can quantify diaphragm activity and respiratory muscle fatigue in real time,so as to optimize ventilator synchrony.By assessing the transpulmonary pressure gradient,esophageal manometry can guide the reasonable setting of positive end-expiratory pressure and tidal volume to reduce the risk of alveolar overdistension and repeated opening.The combination of these technologies can not only significantly reduce the incidence of ventilation-induced lung injury in patients with ARDS,but also improve oxygenation level and lung compliance.This article systematically reviews the research progress of lung protective ventilation strategy optimization in ARDS patients based on respiratory mechanics,focusing on the application advantages and future development direction of respiratory electromyography and pressure monitoring technology in individualized treatment.
