Objective To study the role of ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in diaphragm of COPD rats. Mathods Thirty rats were divided into a normal control group and a COPD group. COPD model was established by exposure to cigarette smoke for three months. The protein levels of E2-14k and proteasome subunit C8 in diaphragms were measured by Western blot. The mRNA levels of ubiquitin and proteasome subunit C2 in diaphragms were measured bymeans of realtime polymerase chain reaction( RT-PCR) . Results Compared with the control group, the protein expression of E2-14k increased significantly in the COPD group ( 0. 81 ±0. 28 vs 0. 50 ±0. 25, P lt;0. 05) , but C8 protein level was not significantly different between the two groups( P gt;0. 05) . The mRNA expression of ubiquitin increased significantly in the COPD group( 0. 89 ±0. 20 vs 0. 50 ±0. 15, P lt;0. 05) , but C2 mRNA level was not significantly different between the two groups ( P gt; 0. 05 ) . Conclusions The mRNA and protein expressions of ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in diaphragmincreased significantly in COPD rats, suggesting that the activity of ubiquitin-proteasome pathwayincreased, which lead to an increase of protein degradation.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the predictive value of diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index (D-RSBI) for weaning outcome prediction.MethodsThis was a prospective observation study. Respiratory rate (RR) and tidal volume (Vt) were recorded at the end of spontaneous breathing trial, and both M-Mode and B-Mode ultrasonography were used to assess the right diaphragmatic displacement (DD). In parallel, outcome of the weaning attempt, length of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in intensive care unit (ICU) and mortality of ICU were recorded. According to the weaning outcome, the patients were grouped into the successful group and the failed group. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the value of rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI, RR/Vt) and D-RSBI (RR/DD) in predicting weaning failure for ICU patients with mechanical ventilation.ResultsA total of 110 patients recruited in this study. Of them, 73 (66.4%) patients were successfully liberated from mechanical ventilation, and 37 patients failed (33.6%) weaning procedure. The RSBI and D-RSBI of the patients in the failed group were higher than those in the success weaning group (P<0.01). The area under the ROC curves of RSBI and D-RSBI for predicting weaning failure was 0.78 (95% confidence interval 0.69 - 0.87), 0.91 (95% confidence interval 0.85 - 0.97), respectively, a cutoff of RSBI>69 breaths/(L·min) yielded sensitivity of 55% and specificity of 89%, and a cutoff of D-RSBI>1.5 breaths/(min·mm) yielded sensitivity of 87% and specificity of 80%.ConclusionD-RSBI is more accurate than traditional RSBI in predicting the weaning outcome.
ObjectiveTo evaluate clinical outcomes of diaphragm plication for the treatment of diaphragmatic paralysis (DP) in infants after surgical correction for congenital heart diseases. MethodsClinical data of 13 infants who had DP after surgical correction for congenital heart diseases from December 2009 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 5 male and 8 female patients with their age of 35 days-11 months (6.6±3.2 months) and body weight of 3.5-9.6 (6.2±1.8) kg. Diaphragm plication was performed 19.08±4.29 days after open heart surgery. All the patients were not able to wean from mechanical ventilation,or were repeatedly reintubated because of severe respiratory failure after extubation. All the 13 patients received diaphragm plication for singleor double-sided DP. ResultsTwo patients had ventilator associated pneumonia (15.4%) including 1 patient with positive sputum cultures for Acinetobacter baumannii but negative blood culture. Another patient who had double-sided DP after surgical correction for tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia underwent double-sided diaphragm plication and later died of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome,whose sputum and blood cultures were both positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the 11th day after double-sided diaphragm plication. Chest X-ray of all the patients showed plicated diaphragm in normal position after diaphragm plication. The average time from diaphragm plication to extubation was 5.38±3.09 days. After diaphragm plication,arterial partial pressures of oxygen (PaO2) significantly increased (90.22±8.47 mm Hg vs. 80.69±6.72 mm Hg,P<0.05) and arterial partial pressures of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) significantly decreased (39.87±6.31 mm Hg vs. 56.38±7.19 mm Hg,P<0.05). Twelve patients were followed up for 24 months after discharge. During follow-up,1 patient who received double-sided diaphragm plication had 2 episodes of pneumonia within 6 months after discharge. Respiratory function of all the other patients was normal. All the patients were in NYHA class Ⅰ-Ⅱ. ConclusionDiaphragm plication is a safe,easy and effective treatment to increase survival rate and decrease the incidence of hospital-acquired infection for infants who have DP and are unable to wean from mechanical ventilation after surgical correction for congenital heart diseases.
ObjectiveTo investigate the timing and clinical efficacy of diaphragmatic plication in the treatment of diaphragmatic paralysis after congenital heart disease (CHD) operation.MethodsFrom January 2013 to February 2019, 30 children with CHD who were treated in Fuwai Hospital were collected, including 17 males and 13 females with a median age of 19.5 (3, 72) months. There were 6 patients with bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis (bilateral group) and 24 patients with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis (unilateral group). The clinical data of the two groups were compared.ResultsAmong the 6 bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis patients, 2 underwent bilateral diaphragmatic plication, and the other 4 patients continued their off-line exercise after unilateral diaphragmatic plication. Patients in the unilateral group had shorter ventilator use time (266.77±338.34 h vs. 995.33±622.29 h, P=0.001) and total ICU stay time (33.21±23.97 d vs. 67.33±28.54 d, P=0.008) than those in the bilateral group. One patient died in the bilateral group, and there was no statistical difference between the two groups (P=0.363). There was no statistical difference in the ICU stay time after diaphragm plication between the two groups (11.68±10.28 d vs. 29.83±27.73 d, P>0.05).ConclusionDiaphragmatic plication is an effective treatment for diaphragmatic paralysis after CHD operation once the conservative treatment failed. The prognosis of bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis is worse than that of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. Strict control of indications for surgery is beneficial to the early recovery of patients.
ObjectiveTo clarify the risk factors of diaphragmatic dysfunction (DD) after cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation. MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of patients who underwent cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of Peking University People's Hospital from January 2023 to March 2024. Patients were divided into two groups according to the results of bedside diaphragm ultrasound: a DD group and a control group. The preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative indicators of the patients were compared and analyzed, and independent risk factors for DD were screened using multivariate logistic regression analysis. ResultsA total of 281 patients were included, with 32 patients in the DD group, including 23 males and 9 females, with an average age of (64.0±13.5) years. There were 249 patients in the control group, including 189 males and 60 females, with an average age of (58.0±11.2) years. The body mass index of the DD group was lower than that of the control group [(18.4±1.5) kg/m2 vs. (21.9±1.8) kg/m2, P=0.004], and the prevalence of hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, and renal insufficiency was higher in the DD group (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in intraoperative indicators (operation method, extracorporeal circulation time, aortic clamping time, and intraoperative nasopharyngeal temperature) between the two groups (P>0.05). In terms of postoperative aspects, the peak postoperative blood glucose in the DD group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P=0.001), and the proportion of patients requiring continuous renal replacement therapy was significantly higher than that in the control group (P=0.001). The postoperative reintubation rate, tracheotomy rate, mechanical ventilation time, and intensive care unit stay time in the DD group were higher or longer than those in the control group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low body mass index [OR=0.72, 95%CI (0.41, 0.88), P=0.011], preoperative dialysis [OR=2.51, 95%CI (1.89, 4.14), P=0.027], low left ventricular ejection fraction [OR=0.88, 95%CI (0.71, 0.93), P=0.046], and postoperative hyperglycemia [OR=3.27, 95%CI (2.58, 5.32), P=0.009] were independent risk factors for DD. ConclusionThe incidence of DD is relatively high after cardiac surgery, and low body mass index, preoperative renal insufficiency requiring dialysis, low left ventricular ejection fraction, and postoperative hyperglycemia are risk factors for DD.
