Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a beneficial intervention for people with interstitial lung disease (ILD), however the effect of PR on survival is unclear. This study compared the survival outcomes in people with ILD who were allocated to PR versus those who were allocated to control in two published randomised controlled trials (RCTs).

Research question: Does participation in PR impact survival among people with ILD?

Study design and methods: The combined data from the two previous RCTs of PR in ILD were included. Time from start of PR until date of death, lung transplantation or censoring was calculated. Kaplan-Meir and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis were used to assess the impact of PR on survival. Baseline variables of age at time of PR, gender, FVC, 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), exertional nadir SpO2 and diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) were included as covariates.

Results: Of the 182 participants with ILD (87 IPF, 109 males, mean (SD) age 69(10), FVC%pred 76(19), TLCO%pred 48(16)), death occurred in 62%, 6% were transplanted, 20% were alive and 12% were lost to follow-up. Median survival for those who completed PR was 6.1 years (95% CI 4.4 to 7.9) compared to 4.7 years (95%CI 3.4 to 6.0) for those in the control group, however this was not significantly different (log rank p=0.7). After adjusting for baseline variables, at 5 years, completion of PR was associated a 44% lower risk of mortality (HR 0.56 (0.36-0.88), p=0.01). At 10 years, no difference in survival was observed between the PR and control group.

Interpretation: Participation in PR among people with ILD may impact survival at 5 years. Along with clinical improvements following PR, the potential for a survival benefit further strengthens the importance of PR in the standard care of people with ILD.

背景:肺康复(PR)是对间质性肺疾病(ILD)患者有益的干预措施,但PR对生存率的影响尚不清楚。该研究比较了两项已发表的随机对照试验(RCTs)中分配到PR组和分配到对照组的ILD患者的生存结果。研究问题:PR的参与是否影响ILD患者的生存?研究设计和方法:纳入了先前两项关于ILD中PR的随机对照试验的综合数据。计算从PR开始到死亡、肺移植或肺切除的时间。采用Kaplan-Meir和Cox比例风险回归分析评估PR对生存率的影响。共变量包括PR时的年龄、性别、FVC、6分钟步行距离(6MWD)、运动最低点SpO2和特发性肺纤维化(IPF)诊断。结果:182例ILD患者(IPF 87例,男性109例,平均(SD)年龄69岁(10),FVC% pre76 (19), TLCO% pre48(16)), 62%死亡,6%移植,20%存活,12%失访。完成PR的患者的中位生存期为6.1年(95%CI 4.4 - 7.9),而对照组的中位生存期为4.7年(95%CI 3.4 - 6.0),但这没有显著差异(log rank p=0.7)。在调整基线变量后,5年时,PR的完成与44%的死亡风险降低相关(HR 0.56 (0.36-0.88), p=0.01)。10年时,PR组和对照组的生存率没有差异。解释:ILD患者参与PR可能影响5年生存率。随着PR后的临床改善,潜在的生存获益进一步加强了PR在ILD患者标准治疗中的重要性。

Background: Airway management is a critical component of the care of patients experiencing cardiac arrest, but data from randomized trials on the use of video vs direct laryngoscopy for intubation in the setting of cardiac arrest are limited. Current AHA guidelines recommend placement of an endotracheal tube either during CPR or shortly after return of spontaneous circulation but do not provide guidance around intubation methods, including the choice of laryngoscope.

Research question: Does use of video laryngoscopy improve the incidence of successful intubation on the first attempt, compared to use of direct laryngoscopy, among adults undergoing tracheal intubation after experiencing cardiac arrest?

Study design and methods: This secondary analysis of the Direct versus Video Laryngoscope (DEVICE) trial compared video laryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy in the subgroup of patients who were intubated following cardiac arrest. The primary outcome was the incidence of successful intubation on the first attempt. Additional outcomes included the duration of laryngoscopy.

Results: Among the 1,417 patients in the DEVICE trial, 113 (7.9%) had experienced cardiac arrest prior to intubation, of whom 48 were randomized to the video laryngoscopy group and 65 to the direct laryngoscopy group. Successful intubation on the first attempt occurred in 40 of 48 patients (83.3%) in the video laryngoscopy group and 42 of 65 patients (64.6%) in the direct laryngoscopy group (absolute risk difference, 18.7 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2 to 36.2; P = 0.03). The mean duration of laryngoscopy was 48.0 seconds (standard deviation [SD], 37.3 seconds) in the video laryngoscope group and 98.0 seconds (SD, 122.4) in the direct laryngoscopy group (mean difference, -50.0; 95% CI, -86.8 to -13.3, P = 0.004).

Interpretation: Among adults undergoing tracheal intubation after experiencing cardiac arrest, use of video laryngoscopy was associated with increased incidence of successful intubation on the first attempt and shortened duration of laryngoscopy, compared to use of direct laryngoscopy.

背景:气道管理是心脏骤停患者护理的关键组成部分,但在心脏骤停情况下使用视频与直接喉镜插管的随机试验数据有限。目前的美国心脏协会指南建议在心肺复苏术期间或恢复自然循环后不久置入气管内插管,但没有提供插管方法的指导,包括喉镜的选择。研究问题:在心脏骤停后进行气管插管的成年人中,与使用直接喉镜相比,使用视频喉镜是否能提高第一次插管成功率?研究设计和方法:这项直接与视频喉镜(DEVICE)试验的二次分析比较了在心脏骤停后插管的患者亚组中视频喉镜与直接喉镜。主要结果是第一次插管成功的发生率。其他结果包括喉镜检查的持续时间。结果:在DEVICE试验的1417例患者中,113例(7.9%)在插管前发生心脏骤停,其中48例随机分配到视频喉镜组,65例随机分配到直接喉镜组。视频喉镜组48例患者中首次插管成功40例(83.3%),直接喉镜组65例患者中42例(64.6%)(绝对风险差异为18.7个百分点;95%置信区间[CI], 1.2 ~ 36.2;P = 0.03)。视频喉镜组的平均喉镜检查时间为48.0秒(标准差[SD], 37.3秒),直接喉镜组的平均喉镜检查时间为98.0秒(SD, 122.4)(平均差为-50.0;95% CI, -86.8 ~ -13.3, P = 0.004)。解释:在心脏骤停后接受气管插管的成年人中,与使用直接喉镜相比,使用视频喉镜可增加首次插管成功的发生率,缩短喉镜的持续时间。

Background: Delirium is a common and serious syndrome of acute brain dysfunction associated with negative outcomes. Melatonin may have a role in delirium prevention for critically ill adults based on data from non-critically ill patient populations. Our objective was to assess the feasibility of a multi-centre, randomized, placebo-controlled trial testing the hypothesis that low-dose melatonin prevents delirium in critically ill adults.

Methods: We conducted this three-arm feasibility trial in three tertiary academic ICUs. Included participants were ≥18 years old, confirmed free from delirium at enrollment, and anticipated >48 hours intensive care unit (ICU) stay. We randomized participants to nightly melatonin 0.5mg or 2mg or placebo. Feasibility outcomes were protocol adherence and recruitment rates. Our primary feasibility target was ≥85% (±5% margin of error) of drug doses administered as per protocol. Secondary objectives were to explore adverse drug effects, melatonin pharmacokinetics, and clinical outcomes.

Results: We screened 2259 patients, excluding 1863 (82.5%), resulting in 396 eligible patients, of whom 71 consented; recruitment rate 0.8 patients/month/site. Median (IQR) age was 60.5 (48,67) years; median admission SOFA score 7 (3,10). Percentage drug administration protocol adherence per patient was median 100% (IQR 92.3%, 100%) or mean 88.7% (SD 24.4). There were 25 protocol violations with no differences between groups. Fourteen (20%) patients developed delirium during the study period; 25 (36%) experienced sub-syndromal delirium; no differences between study groups. No serious adverse effects were detected.

Conclusion: Our trial protocol comparing two low doses of melatonin and placebo for delirium prevention in critically ill adults demonstrated feasibility for protocol adherence. However, trial eligibility rates were modest primarily due to delirium being present or the inability to screen. Consent rates were also low. This finding suggests that conducting delirium prevention trials that require delirium to be absent on enrolment is particularly challenging in the ICU.

背景:谵妄是一种常见且严重的急性脑功能障碍综合征,伴有不良预后。根据非危重患者人群的数据,褪黑素可能在危重患者谵妄预防中起作用。我们的目的是评估一项多中心、随机、安慰剂对照试验的可行性,以检验低剂量褪黑素预防危重成人谵妄的假设。方法:我们在三个三级学术icu中进行了三组可行性试验。纳入的受试者年龄≥18岁,入组时确认无谵妄,预计在重症监护病房(ICU)住院48小时。我们将参与者随机分组,每晚服用褪黑素0.5毫克、2毫克或安慰剂。可行性结果为方案依从性和招募率。我们的主要可行性目标是按方案给予的药物剂量≥85%(±5%的误差范围)。次要目的是探讨药物不良反应、褪黑素药代动力学和临床结果。结果:我们筛选了2259例患者,排除了1863例(82.5%),得到396例符合条件的患者,其中71例同意;招募率0.8例/月/部位。中位(IQR)年龄为60.5(48,67)岁;入院时SOFA评分中位数为7(3,10)。每位患者遵守给药方案的百分比中位数为100% (IQR为92.3%,100%),平均为88.7% (SD为24.4)。有25例违反了协议,各组之间没有差异。14例(20%)患者在研究期间出现谵妄;25例(36%)出现亚综合征性谵妄;研究小组之间没有差异。未发现严重的不良反应。结论:我们的试验方案比较了两种低剂量褪黑素和安慰剂预防危重症成人谵妄的可行性。然而,试验合格率适中,主要是由于谵妄的存在或无法筛选。同意率也很低。这一发现表明,在ICU中进行要求在入组时不出现谵妄的谵妄预防试验尤其具有挑战性。

Background: Changes in body composition, including loss of muscle mass and obesity, adversely affect lung function.

Research question: What is the relationship between lung function, visceral adiposity, and skeletal muscle mass, considering myosteatosis measured using CT scans in middle-aged Korean adults?

Study design and methods: We reviewed 15,827 participants (9,237 men and 6,590 women) with a mean (SD) age of 52.5 (8.3) years who underwent comprehensive health examinations, including abdominal CT imaging and spirometry. Selected CT scans were segmented automatically to quantify total abdominal muscle area (TAMA), visceral fat area (VFA), and subcutaneous fat area. Muscle quality was assessed by categorizing TAMA into 3 regions based on CT scan density: good-quality muscle (normal-attenuation muscle area [NAMA]), fatty muscle (low attenuation muscle area), and intermuscular and intramuscular fat areas. Low lung function was defined as FVC % predicted and FEV1 < 80% predicted. Standardized residuals for CT scan-derived measurements, adjusted for age and BMI using linear regression, were calculated and stratified into quartiles for lung function comparison. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze associations between low lung function and variables.

Results: NAMA was correlated positively with FVC and FEV1, whereas VFA was correlated negatively with both. In men, low FVC and FEV1 were associated significantly with lower NAMA and higher VFA. Among women with obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2), low FVC and FEV1 were associated significantly with higher VFA and lower NAMA (FVC only); among women without obesity, low FVC and FEV1 were associated negatively with NAMA.

Interpretation: Lung function was associated significantly with visceral adiposity and skeletal muscle quality, which differed according to sex and BMI. Improving lung function may require tailored management, including reducing visceral fat, enhancing skeletal muscle quality based on CT scan-body composition analysis, or both.

背景:身体组成的改变,包括肌肉量的减少和肥胖,会对肺功能产生不利影响。研究问题:考虑到韩国中年成年人使用计算机断层扫描(CT)测量的骨骼肌病,肺功能、内脏脂肪和骨骼肌质量之间的关系是什么?研究设计和方法:我们回顾了15827名参与者(9237名男性和6590名女性),平均年龄为52.5±8.3岁,接受了全面的健康检查,包括腹部CT和肺活量测定。选择的CT扫描自动分割量化总腹肌面积(TAMA),内脏脂肪面积(VFA)和皮下脂肪面积。根据CT密度将TAMA分为三个区域:优质肌肉(正常衰减肌肉区;NAMA),脂肪肌肉(低衰减肌肉区域)和肌间/肌内脂肪区域。肺功能低定义为用力肺活量(FVC %)和用力呼气量(FEV1 %) <预测值的80%。使用线性回归计算年龄和体重指数(BMI)校正后的ct测量的标准化残差,并将其分层为四分位数,用于肺功能比较。采用多因素logistic回归分析低肺功能与变量之间的关系。结果:NAMA与FVC、FEV1呈正相关,而VFA与两者呈负相关。在男性中,低FVC和FEV1与较低的NAMA和较高的VFA显著相关。在肥胖女性(BMI≥25 kg/m2)中,低FVC和FEV1与较高的VFA和较低的NAMA(仅FVC)显著相关;在没有肥胖的女性中,低FVC和FEV1与NAMA呈负相关。解释:肺功能与内脏脂肪和骨骼肌质量显著相关,这根据性别和BMI有所不同。改善肺功能可能需要量身定制的管理,包括根据ct -体成分分析减少内脏脂肪和/或增强骨骼肌质量。

Topic importance: Accurate assessment of a patient's volume status is crucial in many conditions, informing decisions on fluid prescribing, vasoactive agents, and decongestive therapies. Determining a patient's volume status is challenging, due to limitations in examination and investigations and the complexities of fluid homeostasis in disease states. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is useful in assessing hemodynamic parameters related to volume status, fluid responsiveness, and fluid tolerance. It requires understanding several physiologic concepts to accurately interpret and integrate POCUS findings into volume-related clinical decision-making.

Review findings: The following concepts serve as a scaffold for a comprehensive volume status assessment: central venous pressure, right heart function, left heart assessment, extravascular volume, and venous congestion. POCUS allows us access to these hemodynamic and structural data points as an extension and refinement of the physical exam. Often, multiple POCUS applications are employed, and findings must be integrated with the rest of the clinical evaluation. We illustrate this using three common scenarios: hypotension, hypoxia, and acute kidney injury. Clinicians must be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of findings in different physiologic states, and potential pitfalls of image acquisition and interpretation. Further studies are necessary to determine the benefits and clinical outcomes of a POCUS-directed volume status assessment.

Summary: Volume status assessment is ubiquitous, yet challenging to perform. This review summarizes foundational physiologic concepts relevant to volume status evaluation, and highlights how multiorgan POCUS informs on hemodynamic parameters that can be combined with the conventional clinical assessment to make fluid-related decisions.

主题重要性:在许多情况下,准确评估患者的容量状态是至关重要的,可以为决定液体处方、血管活性药物和减充血疗法提供信息。由于检查和调查的局限性以及疾病状态下流体稳态的复杂性,确定患者的容积状态具有挑战性。即时超声(POCUS)可用于评估与容量状态、流体反应性和流体耐受性相关的血流动力学参数。它需要理解几个生理学概念,以准确地解释和整合POCUS发现到体积相关的临床决策。回顾结果:以下概念可作为综合容积状态评估的一个框架:中心静脉压、右心功能、左心评估、血管外容积和静脉充血。POCUS允许我们访问这些血流动力学和结构数据点,作为物理检查的扩展和改进。通常,采用多种POCUS应用,结果必须与其他临床评估相结合。我们用三种常见的情况来说明这一点:低血压、缺氧和急性肾损伤。临床医生必须意识到不同生理状态下发现的优势和劣势,以及图像采集和解释的潜在陷阱。需要进一步的研究来确定pocus引导的容积状态评估的益处和临床结果。摘要:体积状态评估无处不在,但执行起来很有挑战性。这篇综述总结了与容量状态评估相关的基本生理学概念,并强调了多器官POCUS如何告知血液动力学参数,这些参数可以与传统的临床评估相结合,以做出与液体相关的决定。

Background: Adaptation of the right ventricle is a key determinant of outcomes in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Despite a compelling rationale to develop targeted therapies for the right ventricle in PAH, no such treatments exist. H2-receptor antagonism is a potential myocardial-focused paradigm in heart failure.

Research question: Do H2-receptor antagonists improve outcomes in participants with PAH?

Study design and methods: We conducted a 24-week, single-center, 1:1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of the H2-receptor antagonist famotidine in patients with a diagnosis of PAH. The primary outcome was change in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) at 24 weeks. Secondary endpoints included B-type natriuretic peptide levels, NYHA functional class, right ventricular parameters, health-related quality of life, and escalation in PAH-focused care.

Results: From May 2019 to July 2023, 80 participants were randomized with 79 receiving study drug. There was no significant difference in the primary outcome of 6MWD at 24 weeks, with an increase of 4.7 meters seen in the placebo arm versus a decrease of 17.0 meters in the famotidine arm (p = 0.24). There were also no differences in secondary endpoints at 24 weeks. Study drug was well tolerated, and safety profiles were similar between arms. Adherence and study conduct was good overall. Participants with methamphetamine-associated PAH were similar in all aspects to the study participants more broadly.

Interpretation: The results of this trial do not support the routine use of famotidine 20 mg daily as an adjunct therapy for the treatment of PAH. The REHAB-PH trial argues against the practice of avoiding participants with methamphetamine-associated PAH in randomized clinical trials of novel therapies.

Clinical trials registration: The trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03554291).

背景:右心室的适应性是肺动脉高压(PAH)预后的关键决定因素。尽管开发针对PAH右心室的靶向治疗的理由令人信服,但目前还没有这样的治疗方法。h2受体拮抗剂是心力衰竭中一种潜在的以心肌为中心的模式。研究问题:h2受体拮抗剂是否能改善PAH患者的预后?研究设计和方法:我们对诊断为PAH的患者进行了为期24周、单中心、1:1随机、双盲、安慰剂对照的h2受体拮抗剂法莫替丁试验。主要终点是24周时6分钟步行距离(6MWD)的变化。次要终点包括b型利钠肽水平、NYHA功能等级、右心室参数、与健康相关的生活质量以及以pah为重点的护理的升级。结果:从2019年5月至2023年7月,80名参与者随机分组,其中79名接受研究药物。24周时6MWD的主要结局无显著差异,安慰剂组增加4.7米,而法莫替丁组减少17.0米(p = 0.24)。在24周时,次要终点也没有差异。研究药物耐受性良好,两组之间的安全性相似。依从性和研究行为总体良好。与甲基苯丙胺相关的多环芳烃参与者在所有方面与更广泛的研究参与者相似。解释:本试验的结果不支持每日20毫克法莫替丁作为治疗多环芳烃的辅助疗法。REHAB-PH试验反对在新疗法的随机临床试验中避免与甲基苯丙胺相关的多环芳烃患者的做法。临床试验注册:该试验已在clinicaltrials.gov网站注册(NCT03554291)。

Management of Central Airway Obstruction: An American College of Chest Physicians Clinical Practice Guideline. 中央气道阻塞的处理。美国胸科医师学会临床实践指南》。
IF 9.5 1区 医学 Q1 CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE Pub Date : 2025-01-01 Epub Date: 2024-07-18 DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2024.06.3804

Background: Central airway obstruction (CAO), seen in a variety of malignant and nonmalignant airway disorders, is associated with a poor prognosis. The management of CAO is dependent on provider training and local resources, which may make the clinical approach and outcomes highly variable. We reviewed the current literature and provided evidence-based recommendations for the management of CAO.

Methods: A multidisciplinary expert panel developed key questions using the Patient, Intervention, Comparator, and Outcomes format and conducted a systematic literature search using MEDLINE (PubMed) and the Cochrane Library. The panel screened references for inclusion and used vetted evaluation tools to assess the quality of included studies and extract data, and graded the level of evidence supporting each recommendation. A modified Delphi technique was used to reach consensus on recommendations.

Results: A total of 9,688 abstracts were reviewed, 150 full-text articles were assessed, and 31 studies were included in the analysis. One good practice statement and 10 graded recommendations were developed. The overall certainty of evidence was very low.

Conclusions: Therapeutic bronchoscopy can improve the symptoms, quality of life, and survival of patients with malignant and nonmalignant CAO. Multi-modality therapeutic options, including rigid bronchoscopy with general anesthesia, tumor/tissue debridement, ablation, dilation, and stent placement, should be utilized when appropriate. Therapeutic options and outcomes are dependent on the underlying etiology of CAO. A multidisciplinary approach and shared decision-making with the patient are strongly encouraged.

背景:中央气道阻塞(CAO)见于各种恶性和非恶性气道疾病,预后不良。CAO 的治疗取决于医疗服务提供者的培训和当地资源,这可能会使临床治疗方法和结果存在很大差异。我们回顾了当前的文献,并为 CAO 的管理提供了循证建议:一个多学科专家小组采用 PICO(患者、干预、比较者和结果)格式提出了关键问题,并使用 MEDLINE (PubMed) 和 Cochrane 图书馆进行了系统的文献检索。专家小组对纳入的参考文献进行筛选,使用经过审核的评估工具对纳入研究的质量进行评估并提取数据,同时对支持每项建议的证据水平进行分级。小组采用改良的德尔菲技术就建议达成共识:共查阅了 968 份摘要,评估了 150 篇全文,31 项研究被纳入分析。制定了一项良好实践声明和十项分级建议。总体证据的确定性很低:结论:治疗性支气管镜检查可改善恶性和非恶性 CAO 患者的症状、生活质量和存活率。在适当的时候,应采用多种治疗方法,包括全身麻醉下的硬质支气管镜检查、肿瘤/组织清创、消融、扩张和支架置入。治疗方案和效果取决于 CAO 的潜在病因。强烈建议采用多学科方法并与患者共同决策。

Neutrophil-Mediated Inflammatory Plasminogen Degradation, Rather Than High Plasminogen-Activator Inhibitor-1, May Underly Failures and Inefficiencies of Intrapleural Fibrinolysis. 胸膜感染时中性粒细胞弹性蛋白酶导致的血浆酶原降解,而不是高血浆酶原激活剂抑制因子-1 (PAI-1) 是胸膜腔内溶解失败的原因。

Background: Complex pleural space infections often require treatment with multiple doses of intrapleural tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and deoxyribonuclease, with treatment failure frequently necessitating surgery. Pleural infections are rich in neutrophils, and neutrophil elastase degrades plasminogen, the target substrate of tPA, that is required to generate fibrinolysis. We hypothesized that pleural fluid from patients with pleural space infection would show high elastase activity, evidence of inflammatory plasminogen degradation, and low fibrinolytic potential in response to tPA that could be rescued with plasminogen supplementation.

Research question: Does neutrophil elastase degradation of plasminogen contribute to intrapleural fibrinolytic failure?

Study design and methods: We obtained infected pleural fluid and circulating plasma from hospitalized adults (n = 10) with institutional review board approval from a randomized trial evaluating intrapleural fibrinolytics vs surgery for initial management of pleural space infection. Samples were collected before the intervention and on days 1, 2, and 3 after the intervention. Activity assays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and Western blot analysis were performed, and turbidimetric measurements of fibrinolysis were obtained from pleural fluid with and without exogenous plasminogen supplementation. Results are reported as median (interquartile range) or number (percentage) as appropriate, with an α value of .05.

Results: Pleural fluid elastase activity was more than fourfold higher (P = .02) and plasminogen antigen levels were more than threefold lower (P = .04) than their corresponding plasma values. Pleural fluid Western blot analysis demonstrated abundant plasminogen degradation fragments consistent with elastase degradation patterns. We found that plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), the native tPA inhibitor, showed high antigen levels before the intervention, but the overwhelming majority of this PAI-1 (82%) was not active (P = .003), and all PAI-1 activity was lost by day 2 after the intervention in patients receiving intrapleural tPA and deoxyribonuclease. Finally, using turbidity clot lysis assays, we found that the pleural fluid of 9 of 10 patients was unable to generate a significant fibrinolytic response when challenged with tPA and that plasminogen supplementation rescued fibrinolysis in all patients.

Interpretation: Our findings suggest that inflammatory plasminogen deficiency, not high PAI-1 activity, is a significant contributor to intrapleural fibrinolytic failure.

背景:复杂的胸膜腔感染通常需要使用多种剂量的胸膜腔内组织纤溶酶原激活剂(tPA)和脱氧核糖核酸酶(DNase)进行治疗,治疗失败后往往需要进行手术。胸膜感染中含有大量中性粒细胞,而中性粒细胞弹性蛋白酶可降解纤溶所需的纤溶酶原(tPA的靶底物)。我们假设,胸膜腔感染患者的胸腔积液会有较高的弹性蛋白酶活性、炎症性纤溶酶原降解的证据,以及对 tPA 反应的低纤维蛋白溶解潜能,而补充纤溶酶原后可挽救这种低纤维蛋白溶解潜能:研究问题:中性粒细胞弹性蛋白酶降解纤溶酶原是否会导致胸膜内纤溶失败?我们从一项评估胸膜腔内纤维蛋白溶解剂与手术治疗胸膜腔感染初始疗效的随机试验中获得了经 IRB 批准的住院成人(n=10)的感染胸腔积液和循环血浆。样本在干预前、干预后第 1 天(PID1)、PID2 和 PID3 采集。对胸腔积液+/-外源性纤溶酶原补充剂进行了活性测定、酶联免疫吸附测定和免疫印迹(WB)分析,并对纤维蛋白溶解进行了浊度测定。结果酌情以中位数(Q1、Q3)或n(%)表示,α值设为0.05:结果:与相应的血浆相比,胸腔积液弹性蛋白酶活性高出4倍以上(p=0.02),纤溶酶原抗原水平低出3倍以上(p=0.04)。胸腔积液WB分析显示,大量纤溶酶原降解片段与弹性蛋白酶降解模式一致。我们发现,纤溶酶原激活剂抑制剂-1(PAI-1)是原生的 tPA 抑制剂,干预前抗原水平较高,但绝大多数 PAI-1(82%)没有活性(p=0.003),在胸腔内接受 tPA/DNase 治疗的患者中,PAI-1 的活性在 PID2 时全部丧失。最后,我们使用浊度凝块溶解试验发现,10 名患者中有 9 名的胸腔积液在接受 tPA 挑战时无法产生明显的纤维蛋白溶解反应,而补充纤溶酶原可挽救所有患者的纤维蛋白溶解:炎症性纤溶酶原缺乏,而非 PAI-1 活性过高,是导致胸膜内纤维蛋白溶解失败的重要原因。
