Clinical application of thymalfasin in patients with severe pulmonary infection after liver transplantation

摘要:
目的 探讨胸腺法新用于治疗肝移植术后严重肺部感染的疗效及安全性。 方法 2008年1月至2014年5月在解放军第309医院全军器官移植研究所进行肝移植的患者中, 围手术期共发生严重肺部感染27例。按有否应用胸腺法新分为胸腺法新组(11例)与对照组(16例)。胸腺法新应用方案为1.6 mg皮下注射, 1次/日, 连续应用2周。对照组采用常规抗感染治疗。比较两组患者呼吸机应用时间、发热持续时间、入住重症监护室(ICU)时间、病死率等指标, 同时监测两组患者急性排斥反应(AR)发生情况。 结果 胸腺法新组呼吸机应用时间、发热持续时间、入住ICU时间均较对照组明显缩短(均为P < 0.05)。两组间病死率差异无统计学意义, 两组患者均未发生临床型AR。胸腺法新组未观察到与胸腺法新相关的不良反应。 结论 胸腺法新可以明显改善肝移植术后严重肺部感染患者抗感染疗效, 不增加AR发生率, 在肝移植肺部感染患者中应用是安全有效的。 Abstract:Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of thymalfasin in the treatment of severe pulmonary infection after liver transplantation. Methods Twenty seven patients who developed severe lung infection after undergoing liver transplantation in Organ Transplant Institute of the 309th Hospital of People's Liberation Army from January 2008 to May 2014 were enrolled in this study. According to whether the application of thymalfasin, the patients were divide into thymalfasin group(n=11) and control group(n=16). In the thymalfasin group, thymalfasin was administered via subcutaneous injection at a dose of 1.6 mg once daily for consecutive two weeks. In the control group, conventional anti-infection therapy was delivered. Ventilator time, duration of fever, the length of intensive care unit(ICU) stay and mortality were statistically compared between two groups. And the incidence of acute rejection (AR) was monitored. Results Ventilator time, duration of fever, length of ICU stay of patients in the thymalfasin group were significantly shortened compared with those in the control group (all in P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the mortality between two groups. No clinical AR was observed in either group. No thymalfasin-related adverse event was found in the thymalfasin group. Conclusions Thymalfasin can improve the curative effect to anti-infection of patients with severe pulmonary infection after liver transplantation without the incidence of AR, which is efficacious and safe in the treatment of severe pulmonary infection. -
