摘要信息：Background:Sivelestat, a neutrophil elastase inhibitor, is a selective and targeted therapy for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in adults; and it is also reported to apply to children with ARDS. However, there is little evidence of its efficacy in children. Methods:This study recruited 212 patients ranging in age from 28 days to 18 years old, and who met the diagnostic criteria for pediatric ARDS (PARDS) while hospitalized in the Intensive Care Department of the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. A total of 125 patients (case group) received sivelestat treatment, and 87 were assigned to the control group. There were no significant differences in gender (P=0.445) or age (P=0.521). Control group data were collected from the Electronic Case Information System for pediatric patients diagnosed with ARDS between March 2017 to January 2020. Data for the case group were collected from the Electronic Case Information System between February 2020 to February 2022. Demographic data, clinically relevant indicators, respiratory parameters were recorded. The 28-day mortality was the primary endpoint; the Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were used to evaluate cumulative survival rate. Results:For general demographic and clinical characteristics, no significant differences were observed between the two groups. Compared to the control group, the case group displayed significant improvements in PaO2/FiO2at 48 h (141±45 vs. 115±21, P<0.001) and 72 h (169±61 vs. 139±40, P<0.001) post-admission, and plateau pressure was lower than that in the control group at 24 h (24±3 vs. 28±7, P<0.001), 48 h (21±4 vs. 26±7, P<0.001), and 72 h (20±2 vs. 25±6, P<0.001) post-admission. Interleukin-8 levels were lower in the case group at 48 and 72 h post-admission. Overall, 28-day mortality was 25.47% (54/212). Twenty-five children died in the sivelestat group, 29 children died in the control group. Survival analysis revealed that cumulative survival in the case group was higher than that in the control group (P=0.028). Conclusions:ARDS is expected to have high morbidity and mortality in critical care medicine, and precise targeted drugs are lacking. Our study showed that sivelestat improved prognosis and reduces mortality in children with ARDS.

摘要信息：Background:Pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease increases the risk of surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. Sivelestat is a neutrophil elastase inhibitor thought to have a prophylactic effect against lung injury after surgery using bypass. We elucidated that Sivelestat had the protective effect on lung in patients with congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension who underwent surgery using bypass. Methods:This study was a controlled prospective randomized trial and enrolled 13 neonates or infants with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary hypertension. The patients were assigned to either sivelestat with the dose of 0.2 mg/kg per hour (sivelestat group, n = 7) or saline (placebo group, n = 6) from the start of bypass until 6 hours after bypass. Proinflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules on leukocytes were measured at 10 time points during the above period. Pulmonary function was assessed perioperatively. Results:Compared with the placebo group, the sivelestat group had significantly lower values of alveolar-arterial oxygen tension gradient at 24 hours (p = 0.038) and at 48 hours (p = 0.028) after bypass, and significantly better balance of hydration at 48 hours after bypass (p = 0.012). The sivelestat group also showed significantly lower plasma levels of interleukin-8 immediately after bypass (p = 0.041) and interleukin-10 at 15 minutes after removal of the aortic cross-clamp (p = 0.048), and immediately after bypass (p = 0.037). Conclusions:Administration of sivelestat during bypass prevented pulmonary damage and activities of proinflammatory cytokines at the cardiac operation in neonates or infants. Our results show that sivelestat may be considered to protect pulmonary function against the injury by bypass.

摘要信息：Inhalation of acid fumes and aspiration of liquid substances or gastric contents may not initiate dyspnea within several hours after exposure but may result in delayed onset of alveolar edema. The present report presents three cases of inhalation or aspiration of chemical substances that resulted in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Due to different underlying reasons, three patients developed ARDS resulting from chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary infection. From patients with dyspnea, dry rales could be heard in both lungs, with <92% percutaneous oxygen saturation at room air. All patients were treated using a high-flow nasal cannula and sivelestat sodium. Oxygenation gradually improved and the patients were discharged without adverse events. These cases suggest that early treatment with sivelestat sodium may improve the clinical outcomes of patients with ARDS.

摘要信息：Background:Acryloyl chloride is a highly toxic volatile liquid that can cause pulmonary edema. However, no sufficient treatment reports have been published to date. Here, we report a case of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by acryloyl chloride inhalation. Case presentation:The patient was a 36-year-old man with accidental exposure to acryloyl chloride. The patient had dyspnea and wet cough, with approximately 88% percutaneous oxygen saturation at room air. He was diagnosed with ARDS and admitted to the intensive care unit. Initially, he was treated with a high-flow nasal cannula and sivelestat sodium. However, due to the possibility of delayed exacerbation, the patient was switched to methylprednisolone. Oxygenation gradually improved, and the patient was discharged on the day 8 of hospitalization. Conclusion:We report the case of a patient who developed ARDS with delayed exacerbation after the inhalation of acryloyl chloride, which was treated without endotracheal intubation.

摘要信息：硝酸和氢氟酸等强酸性物质具有很强的氧化性,被广泛应用于工业生产中,强酸吸入引起化学性肺炎偶见报道。严重的化学性肺炎会引起急性肺水肿，出现危及生命的急性呼吸窘迫综合征(acuterespiratory distress syndrome,ARDS)。目前针对化学性肺炎的治疗不仅缺乏统一标准，而且强烈依赖于激素、抗感染等传统治疗方案。西维来司他钠为新型 ARDS 治疗药物,其面世弥补了 ARDS 临床治疗手段的匮乏。本文报道了1例早期应用西维来司他钠成功治疗硝酸氢氟酸混合物吸入致ARDS 的病例，以分享救治体会。

摘要信息：Background:There are conflicting views on the of sivelestat sodium (sivelestat-Na) on acute lung injury. Methods:The efficacy of sivelestat-Na on aspiration-related acute lung injury was analyzed by reviewing case reports published before or after the appearance of the drug on the clinical practice in Japan. Data were analyzed from the 23 sivelestat-treated cases and 5 non-sivelestat cases. Results:Sivelestat-Na was administered by 0.2 mg x kg(-1) x hr(-1) for 10 +/- 4 (mean +/- SD) days. PaO2/ ratio increased significantly from 124 +/- 59 mmHg of baseline to 253 +/- 79 mmHg on the third and to 361 +/- 84 mmHg on the termination of the therapy. Significantly better response was observed if the drug was administered within 24 hours after aspiration for patients with background of neurological disease, in which the increases in the P/F ratio were greater and the duration of the drug administration was shorter compared with other patients. In comparison with the non-sivelestat cases, sivelestat-Na therapy appears to be associated with shorter ventilator days or higher P/F increase, although sivelestat-Na costs higher. Conclusions:These results suggest the possibility of conducting prospective clinical trials to assess the efficacy of early sivelestat-Na therapy for aspiration-related acute lung injury.
