Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the application of carbapenem antibiotics in conjunction with hemofiltration for patients with septic shock and to analyze the impact on serum levels of lncRNA XIST and miRNA-130a. Methods A prospective study was conducted on 80 patients with septic shock treated at our hospital from August 2022 to January 2024. These patients were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, each comprising 40 cases. The control group received carbapenem antibiotics, while the experimental group received carbapenem antibiotics in combination with hemofiltration. The clinical outcomes of both groups were evaluated, and comparisons were made regarding their hemodynamic indices [including cardiac output (CO), central venous pressure (CVP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP)], immune function indices [including interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)], oxygen metabolism indices [including blood oxygen saturation (SaO2), blood lactate (LAC), and oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2)], as well as serum levels of lncRNA XIST and miRNA-130a expression. Results Following treatment, the levels of CO, CVP, MAP, SaO2, PaO2/FiO2, and miRNA-130a were significantly increased, whereas the levels of IL-6, CRP, TNF-α, LAC, and lncRNA XIST were significantly decreased compared to pre-treatment levels (all P < 0.05). In comparison with the control group, the experimental group exhibited significantly higher levels of CO, CVP, MAP, and miRNA-130a, as well as significantly lower levels of IL-6, CRP, TNF-α, and lncRNA XIST (all P < 0.05). The overall effective rate in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (χ 2 = 4.501, P < 0.05), while no significant difference was observed in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (χ 2 = 0.180, P > 0.05). Conclusion Carbapenem antibiotics and hemofiltration therapy can alleviate the symptoms of septic shock patients by downregulating lncRNA XIST expression, upregulating miRNA-130a expression, modulating inflammatory factors, enhancing oxygen metabolism indices, and maintaining hemodynamic stability.
