烧伤患者应用亚胺培南/西司他丁钠盐或头孢哌酮后部分炎症介质水平的改变

目的　观察应用亚胺培南 /西司他丁钠盐 (IPM)或头孢哌酮 (CPZ)治疗烧伤感染患者后其部分血浆炎症介质水平的变化及差异。　方法　选择 13例革兰阴性杆菌感染的烧伤患者 ,其中7例应用IPM(IPM组 ) ,6例应用CPZ(CPZ组 )。于用药前及用药后 2、12、2 4、4 8、72h抽取静脉血 ,检测血浆内毒素 /脂多糖 (LPS)、肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF α)和白细胞介素 6 (IL 6)水平的变化 ,并进行相关性分析。结果　用药后 2h两组患者血浆LPS水平升高 ,其中CPZ组较用药前升高了 (13.95±10 .2 9)pg/ml( P <0.0 5),升高幅度大于IPM组 ,随后逐渐降低。CPZ组用药后 2hTNF α水平为(0 .86± 0 .16 )ng/ml,明显高于用药前 [(0 .38± 0 .15 )ng/ml]及IPM组 [(0 .4 7± 0 .13)ng/ml](P <0.0 1)。两组患者用药后各时相点血浆IL 6水平与用药前比较及组间比较 ,差异均无显著性意义 (P >0.0 5)。两组患者TNF α水平与LPS、IL 6水平呈显著正相关 (P <0.0 0 1～ 0.0 1)。结论　应用不同种类抗生素治疗革兰阴性杆菌感染的烧伤患者时 ,可诱导细菌释放LPS、TNF α,其释放量存在一定差异。TNF α的产生与LPS、IL 6的释放存在相关性。

Changes in plasma levels of LPS, TNF-α and IL-6 in burn patients with severe infection treated with Imipenem or Cefoperazone

OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes in plasma levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in burn patients with severe infection treated with Imipenem or Cefoperazone. METHODS: Thirteen severe burn patients infected with gram negative bacilli were enrolled in the study in which 7 were treated with IPM and 6 with CPZ. Venous blood samples were harvested before and 2, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the use of antibiotic for the determination of the plasma levels of LPS, TNF-alpha and IL-6, and correlative analysis was carried out among all the factors in regard to their changes. RESULTS: The plasma levels of LPS in both groups were elevated 2 hours after the injection of either antibiotic, but it was more obvious in patients with CPZ when compared with that before treatment (13.95 +/- 5.44 pg/ml), and the levels were much higher than that after IPM (P < 0.05). The plasma LPS level declined thereafter. The plasma TNF-alpha level in CPZ group was 0.86 +/- 0.16 ng/ml at 2 hours after the use of antibiotic, and it was much higher than that before the use of the drug, and it was higher compared with IPM group. (P < 0.01). But there was no change in the plasma IL-6 level in all the patients at all the time points before and after the use of either drug. The plasma TNF-alpha levels in the two groups were positively correlated with the plasma levels of LPS and IL-6. CONCLUSION: The release of LPS and TNF-alpha from bacteria could be induced by the administration of different kinds of antibiotics in the management of burn patients infected by gram negative bacilli in different releasing amounts. And the TNF-alpha production was correlated with the release of LPS and IL-6.
