Wu Y, Zhu G. Association between coagulation disorder scores and in-hospital mortality in ARF patients: a retrospective analysis from the MIMIC-IV database. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1184166. [PMID: 37324134 PMCID: PMC10266267 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1184166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Acute respiratory failure (ARF) has a high mortality rate, and currently, there is no convenient risk predictor. The coagulation disorder score was proven to be a promising metric for predicting in-hospital mortality, but its role in ARF patients remains unknown. Methods In this retrospective study, data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Patients diagnosed with ARF and hospitalized for more than 2 days at their first admission were included. The coagulation disorder score was defined based on the sepsis-induced coagulopathy score and was calculated by parameters, namely, additive platelet count (PLT), international normalized ratio (INR), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), based on which the participants were divided into six groups. Results Overall, 5,284 ARF patients were enrolled. The in-hospital mortality rate was 27.9%. High levels of additive platelet score, INR score, and APTT score were significantly associated with increased mortality in ARF patients (P < 0.001). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that a higher coagulation disorder score was significantly related to the increased risk of in-hospital mortality in ARF patients (Model 2: coagulation disorder score = 6 vs. coagulation disorder score = 0: OR, 95% CI: 7.09, 4.07-12.34, P < 0.001). The AUC of the coagulation disorder score was 0.611 (P < 0.001), which was smaller than that of sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) (De-long test P = 0.014) and simplified acute physiology score II (SAPS II) (De-long test P < 0.001) but larger than that of additive platelet count (De-long test P < 0.001), INR (De-long test P < 0.001), and APTT (De-long test P < 0.001), respectively. In subgroup analysis, we found that in-hospital mortality was markedly elevated with an increased coagulation disorder score in ARF patients. No significant interactions were observed in most subgroups. Of note, patients who did not administrate oral anticoagulant had a higher risk of in-hospital mortality than those who administrated oral anticoagulant (P for interaction = 0.024). Conclusion This study found a significant positive association between coagulation disorder scores and in-hospital mortality. The coagulation disorder score was superior to the single indicators (additive platelet count, INR, or APTT) and inferior to SAPS II and SOFA for predicting in-hospital mortality in ARF patients.

The Impact of General Anesthesia on Redox Stability and Epigenetic Inflammation Pathways: Crosstalk on Perioperative Antioxidant Therapy. Cells 2022; 11:cells11121880.

Abstract
Worldwide, the prevalence of surgery under general anesthesia has significantly increased, both because of modern anesthetic and pain-control techniques and because of better diagnosis and the increased complexity of surgical techniques. Apart from developing new concepts in the surgical field, researchers and clinicians are now working on minimizing the impact of surgical trauma and offering minimal invasive procedures due to the recent discoveries in the field of cellular and molecular mechanisms that have revealed a systemic inflammatory and pro-oxidative impact not only in the perioperative period but also in the long term, contributing to more difficult recovery, increased morbidity and mortality, and a negative financial impact. Detailed molecular and cellular analysis has shown an overproduction of inflammatory and pro-oxidative species, responsible for augmenting the systemic inflammatory status and making postoperative recovery more difficult. Moreover, there are a series of changes in certain epigenetic structures, the most important being the microRNAs. This review describes the most important molecular and cellular mechanisms that impact the surgical patient undergoing general anesthesia, and it presents a series of antioxidant therapies that can reduce systemic inflammation.

[PMID: 35405895 PMCID: PMC8997000 DOI: 10.3390/ani12070907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Mastitis is a common disease in dairy cows. On the one hand, it will reduce milk yield and milk quality of dairy cows, thus increasing the cost of animal husbandry, and, on the other hand, it will influence the health of infected animals and even human beings. Generally speaking, because mastitis is caused by pathogenic microorganisms, antibiotic treatment is commonly used. However, antibiotic resistance of microorganisms caused by wrongful use of antibiotics and antibiotic residues after treatment has become an urgent problem to be solved. Chinese herbal medicines are pure natural substances, and many of them have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, or immune-enhancing effects. In this experiment, Artemisia argyi (A. argyi) was selected as the research object to construct the cell model of cow mastitis. Studies have found that A. argyi extract can play a positive role in the regulation of inflammation, which is rich in organic acids and flavonoids. Therefore, A. argyi extract may be a potential treatment for mastitis. Abstract In the context of the unsatisfactory therapeutic effect of antibiotics, the natural products of plants have become a research hotspot. Artemisia argyi (A. argyi) is known as a traditional medicine in China, and its extracts have been reported to have a variety of active functions, including anti-inflammatory. Therefore, after establishing the mouse mastitis model by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the effects of A. argyi leaves extract (ALE) were evaluated by pathological morphology of the mammary gland tissue, gene expression, and serum oxidation index. Studies have shown that ALE has a restorative effect on LPS-induced mammary gland lesions and significantly down-regulated the rise of myeloperoxidase (MPO) induced by LPS stimulation. In addition, ALE played a positive role in LPS-induced oxidative imbalance by restoring the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and preventing the increase in nitric oxide (NO) concentration caused by the over-activation of total nitric oxide synthase (T-NOS). Further analysis of gene expression in the mammary gland showed that ALE significantly down-regulated LPS-induced up-regulation of inflammatory factors IL6, TNFα, and IL1β. ALE also regulated the expression of MyD88, a key gene for toll-like receptors (TLRs) signaling, which, in turn, regulated TLR2 and TLR4. The effect of ALE on iNOS expression was similar to the effect of T-NOS activity and NO content, which also played a positive role. The IκB gene is closely related to the NF-κB signaling pathway, and ALE was found to significantly alleviate the LPS-induced increase in IκB. All of these results indicated that ALE may be considered a potential active substance for mastitis.

Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Transcriptional Changes in LBP-Deficient Rat and Its Possible Implications for Liver Dysregulation during Sepsis. J Immunol Res 2022; 2021:8356645. [PMID: 35005033 PMCID: PMC8739918 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8356645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2021] [Revised: 10/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Sepsis is an organ dysfunction caused by the dysregulated inflammatory response to infection. Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) binds to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and modulates the inflammatory response. A rare systematic study has been reported to detect the effect of LBP gene during LPS-induced sepsis. Herein, we explored the RNA sequencing technology to profile the transcriptomic changes in liver tissue between LBP-deficient rats and WT rats at multiple time points after LPS administration. We proceeded RNA sequencing of liver tissue to search differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and enriched biological processes and pathways between WT and LBP-deficient groups at 0 h, 6 h, and 24 h. In total, 168, 284, and 307 DEGs were identified at 0 h, 6 h, and 24 h, respectively, including Lrp5, Cyp7a1, Nfkbiz, Sigmar1, Fabp7, and Hao1, which are related to the inflammatory or lipid-related process. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that inflammatory response to LPS mediated by Ifng, Cxcl10, Serpine1, and Lbp was enhanced at 6 h, while lipid-related metabolism associated with C5, Cyp4a1, and Eci1 was enriched at 24 h after LPS administration in the WT samples. The inflammatory process was not found when the LBP gene was knocked out; lipid-related metabolic process and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway mediated by Dhrs7b and Tysnd1 were significantly activated in LBP-deficient samples. Our study suggested that the invading LPS may interplay with LBP to activate the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway and trigger uncontrolled inflammatory response. However, when inhibiting the activity of NF-κB, lipid-related metabolism would make bacteria removal via the effect on the PPAR signaling pathway in the absence of LBP gene. We also compared the serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels using the biochemistry analyzer and analyzed the expression of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and cleaved-caspase 3 with immunohistochemistry, which further validated our conclusion.

Abstract
Primary responses in sepsis-mediated inflammation are regulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines. Variations in the cytokine genes might modify their transcription or expression, plasma cytokines levels and response to sepsis. Activation protein-1 (AP-1) and NF-κB regulate cytokines gene expression in sepsis. A total of 90 severely septic and 91 non-infected patients were prospectively studied. IL-1α (–889 C/T), IL-1β (+3954 C/T), IL-6 (–174 G/C), TNF-α (–238 G/A), TNF-α (–308G/A), IL-8 (–251A/T) and IL-10 (–1082 G/A) SNPs, plasma IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-13, IFN-γ, TNF-α and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) levels, and AP-1 and NF-κB gene expression by neutrophils were assessed. A allele carriers of TNF-α (–238 G/A) SNP were less frequent among septic patients. IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α and MCP-1 levels were higher, and AP-1 and NF-κB gene expressions lower in septic patients. Sepsis was independently associated with higher fibrinogen, neutrophils counts and IL-8 levels, lower prothrombin, absence of the variant A allele of the TNF-α (–238 G/A) SNP, and haemodynamic failure. Death was independently associated with a higher APACHE II score, higher IL-8 levels, and the diagnosis of sepsis. TNF-a (–238 G/A) SNP could protect against sepsis development. Higher IL-8 levels are predictive of sepsis and mortality.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of splenectomy on dexmedetomidine-activated cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway-mediated alleviation of LPS-induced AKI. A mouse model of septic kidney injury was established in C57BL/6 mice. A total of 30 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the control group, LPS group, dexmedetomidine + LPS group, splenectomy group, splenectomy + LPS group, and splenectomy + dexmedetomidine + LPS group. The pathological effects in kidney tissues in each group were analyzed by HE staining. Apoptosis in each group was examined by the TUNEL method. Cr and Cys-C levels in each group were measured by ELISA. The expression levels of IL-6, NF-κB p65, Caspase-3, the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, the proapoptotic protein Bax, and α7nAChR in each group were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Dexmedetomidine alone reduced apoptosis in kidney tissue; however, apoptosis was increased after splenectomy in mice treated with dexmedetomidine. Splenectomy reduced the production of proinflammatory cytokines in circulation and had a protective effect on the kidney. Splenectomy inhibited dexmedetomidine-mediated activation of the α7nAChR pathway. Dexmedetomidine effectively alleviated LPS-induced kidney injury, and splenectomy inhibited the anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and renoprotective effects of dexmedetomidine. The kidney-spleen axis is mediated by the α7nAChR-NF-κB signaling pathway and is involved in the development of AKI.

Abstract
This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Concern was raised about the reliability of the Western blot results in Figures 6E and 7E, and suspected image duplications within Figures 1B, 4A and 5B, as detailed here: https://pubpeer.com/publications/782E18F3418A54CBE4DB7FFAA5735F; and here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r0MyIYpagBc58BRF9c3luWNlCX8VUvUuPyYYXzxWvgY/edit#gid=262337249. Additional suspected image duplications were detected in Figures 1C and 6A. Our analysis suggested these image anomalies represent either direct duplications of the entire image, or contain several repeated features between or within an image. The journal requested the corresponding author comment on these concerns and provide the raw data. The authors did not respond to this request and therefore the Editor-in-Chief decided to retract the article.

Impact of General Anesthesia Guided by State Entropy (SE) and Response Entropy (RE) on Perioperative Stability in Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Patients-A Prospective Observational Randomized Monocentric Study. ENTROPY 2020; 22:e22030356. [PMID: 33286130 PMCID: PMC7516829 DOI: 10.3390/e22030356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2020] [Revised: 03/17/2020] [Accepted: 03/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most frequently performed interventions in general surgery departments. Some of the most important aims in achieving perioperative stability in these patients is diminishing the impact of general anesthesia on the hemodynamic stability and the optimization of anesthetic drug doses based on the individual clinical profile of each patient. The objective of this study is the evaluation of the impact, as monitored through entropy (both state entropy (SE) and response entropy (RE)), that the depth of anesthesia has on the hemodynamic stability, as well as the doses of volatile anesthetic. A prospective, observational, randomized, and monocentric study was carried out between January and December 2019 in the Clinic of Anesthesia and Intensive Care of the “Pius Brînzeu” Emergency County Hospital in Timișoara, Romania. The patients included in the study were divided in two study groups: patients in Group A (target group) received multimodal monitoring, which included monitoring of standard parameters and of entropy (SE and RE); while the patients in Group B (control group) only received standard monitoring. The anesthetic dose in group A was optimized to achieve a target entropy of 40–60. A total of 68 patients met the inclusion criteria and were allocated to one of the two study groups: group A (N = 43) or group B (N = 25). There were no statistically significant differences identified between the two groups for both demographical and clinical characteristics (p > 0.05). Statistically significant differences were identified for the number of hypotensive episodes (p = 0.011, 95% CI: [0.1851, 0.7042]) and for the number of episodes of bradycardia (p < 0.0001, 95% CI: [0.3296, 0.7923]). Moreover, there was a significant difference in the Sevoflurane consumption between the two study groups (p = 0.0498, 95% CI: [−0.3942, 0.9047]). The implementation of the multimodal monitoring protocol, including the standard parameters and the measurement of entropy for determining the depth of anesthesia (SE and RE) led to a considerable improvement in perioperative hemodynamic stability. Furthermore, optimizing the doses of anesthetic drugs based on the individual clinical profile of each patient led to a considerable decrease in drug consumption, as well as to a lower incidence of hemodynamic side-effects.

Abstract
Severe inflammation may lead to multiple organs dysfunction syndrome, which has a high mortality. MicroRNA is found participated in this process. In this study we developed a lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation cell model on macrophages and a lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation mouse model. It was found that during inflammation, microRNA-9 was increased, accompanied with the up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Down-regulation of microRNA-9 inhibited the up-regulation of inflammatory cytokines, promoted the up-regulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines and induced the remission of organ damage, showing a protective effect in inflammation. Bioinformatics analysis combined with luciferase reporter assay showed that SIRT1 was the target gene of microRNA-9. Transfection of microRNA-9 inhibitor could increase the level of SIRT1 and decrease the activation of NF-κB pathway in macrophages. Myeloid specific sirt1 knockout mice were included and we found that lack of SIRT1 in mice macrophages led to aggravated inflammation, cell apoptosis and organ injury, and eliminated the protective property of microRNA-9 inhibitor. In conclusion, we demonstrated that inhibition of microRNA-9 could alleviate inflammation through the up-regulation of SIRT1 and then suppressed the activation of NF-κB pathway. This is a meaningful explore about the specific mechanism of microRNA-9 in inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver injury has been recognized as a primary cause of hepatic morbidity and mortality. Euscaphis konishii Hayata, also called Euscaphis fukienensis Hsu, is usually used as a detumescent and analgesic agent to improve liver function in South China, but its mechanism of action and chemical composition are unclear. OBJECTIVE The main aim of the study was to investigate the constituent and potential hepatoprotective mechanism of the total triterpenes of E. konishii pericarp (TTEP). METHODS The constituent of TTEP was analyzed by a series of silica gel column to get single compounds and then identified by NMR and MS. In vitro assays were conducted to test the free radical scavenging activity of TTEP. The BCG/LPS-induced immunological livery injury mice model was established to clarify the hepatoprotective effect of TTEP in vivo. RESULTS 8 pentacyclic triterpene acids were separated and identified by NMR and MS. TTEP treatment (50, 100, and 200 mg/Kg) improved the immune function of the BCG/LPS-infected mice, dose-dependently alleviated the BCG/LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative stress, and ameliorated the hepatocyte apoptosis in the liver tissue. CONCLUSION The pericarp of E. konishii may be further considered as a potent natural food for liver disease treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between the serum levels of NLRP3 and HMGB-1 and the prognosis of patients with severe blunt abdominal trauma. METHODS In total, 299 patients were included in the current study from July 2014 to December 2015. All patients were divided into the mild/moderate blunt abdominal trauma group and the severe blunt abdominal trauma group according to their injury severity scores. Serum levels of NLRP3 and HMGB-1 were measured upon admission (0 h) and at 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 7 days after admission. RESULTS Compared with the healthy controls, both the mild/moderate and severe blunt abdominal trauma groups had higher serum levels of NLRP3 and HMGB-1 at admission. At all points, the serum levels of NLRP3 and HMGB-1 were significantly higher in the severe group than in the mild/moderate group. The serum levels of both NLRP3 and HMGB-1 were significantly higher in the deceased patients than in the living patients. The Kaplan-Meier curve showed that compared with patients with higher levels of NLRP3 or HMGB-1, those with lower levels had longer survival times. The serum levels of both NLRP3 and HMGB-1 were independent risk factors for 6-month mortality in severe blunt abdominal trauma patients. CONCLUSION The serum levels of NLRP3 and HMGB-1 were significantly elevated in severe blunt abdominal trauma patients, and the serum levels of both NLRP3 and HMGB-1 were correlated with 6-month mortality in severe blunt abdominal trauma patients.

Abstract
A critically ill polytrauma patient is one of the most complex cases to be admitted to the intensive care unit, due to both the primary traumatic complications and the secondary post-traumatic interactions. From a molecular, genetic, and epigenetic point of view, numerous biochemical interactions are responsible for the deterioration of the clinical status of a patient, and increased mortality rates. From a molecular viewpoint, microRNAs are one of the most complex macromolecular systems due to the numerous modular reactions and interactions that they are involved in. Regarding the expression and activity of microRNAs in sepsis, their usefulness has reached new levels of significance. MicroRNAs can be used both as an early biomarker for sepsis, and as a therapeutic target because of their ability to block the complex reactions involved in the initiation, maintenance, and augmentation of the clinical status.

Abstract
Worldwide, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality, and acute coronary syndromes are responsible for a large number of sudden cardiac deaths. One of the main challenges that still exist in this area is represented by the early detection and targeted monitoring of the pathophysiology involved in CVDs. During the last couple of years, researchers have highlighted the importance of molecular and epigenetic mechanisms involved in the initiation and augmentation of CVDs, culminating in their most severe form represented by acute myocardial infarction. One of the most studied molecular factors involved in this type of pathology is represented by nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF-κB), as well as the involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs). It has been suggested that miRNAs can also be involved in the complex process of atheromatous plaque vulnerabilization that leads to an acute cardiac event. In this review paper, we describe the most important molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of CVDs and atheromatous plaque progression and vulnerabilization, which include molecular mechanisms dependent on NF-κB. For this paper, we used international databases (PubMed and Scopus). The keywords used for the search were “miRNAs biomarkers”, “miRNAs in cardiovascular disease”, “NF-κB in cardiovascular disease”, “molecular mechanism in cardiovascular disease”, and “myocardial NF-κB mechanisms”. Numerous molecular reactions that have NF-κB as a trigger are involved in the pathogenesis of CVDs. Moreover, miRNAs play an important role in initiating and aggravating certain segments of CVDs. Therefore, miRNAs can be used as biomarkers for early evaluation of CVDs. Furthermore, in the future, miRNAs could be used as a targeted molecular therapy in order to block certain mechanisms responsible for inducing CVDs and leading to acute cardiovascular events.

[PMID: 29997086 PMCID: PMC6765718 DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1673-4254.2018.06.03] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2017] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether exogenous agmatine inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation and dysfunction of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by modulating nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and MAPK signal pathways and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). METHODS Cultured HUVECs were treated with agmatine at the optimized concentration of 1.0 mmolγL, LPS (10 µgγmL), and LPS + agmatine, with or without pretreatment with the inhibitors of NF-κB (PDTC), p38 (SB203580), and ERK (PD98059) for 1 h. The levels of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1), soluble E-selectin and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) in the supernatant were determined using ELISA, and their mRNA expressions, along with heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO-1), were assessed using real-time PCR. ROS production in the cells was determined using 2, 7-dichlorofluoresce in diacetate (DCFH-DA) as the fluorescence probe. The protein expressions of VCAM-1, ICAM-1, p65, phospho-p65 (p-p65), IκBα, p-IκBα, ERK, p-ERK, p38, p-p38, JNK, and p-JNK were detected using Western blotting. RESULTS LPS stimulation for 6 and 24 h significantly increased the levels of sVCAM-1, sICAM-1, sE-selectin and MCP-1 in the supernatant, intracellular ROS production, and the mRNA expressions of these molecules (P<0.05). Intervention with 1 mmolγL agmatine, similar with pretreatment with p38, ERK and NF-κB inhibitors, obviously inhibited such effects of LPS in HUVECs (P<0.05). Agmatine significantly up-regulated the mRNA expression of HO-1 (P<0.05), inhibited LPS-induced phosphorylation of p38, ERK, nuclear p65 and cytoplasmic IκBα, and up-regulated the protein expression of cytoplasmic IκBα. CONCLUSION Agmatine inhibits LPS-induced activation and dysfunction of HUVECs by modulating NF-κB and MAPK signal pathways to down-regulate the expressions of adhesion molecules and chemokines and by up-regulating the expression of HO-1 to reduce ROS production.

Sophocarpine Attenuates LPS-Induced Liver Injury and Improves Survival of Mice through Suppressing Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Apoptosis. Mediators Inflamm 2018; 2018:5871431. [PMID: 29861657 PMCID: PMC5976937 DOI: 10.1155/2018/5871431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2018] [Accepted: 03/18/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Septic liver injury/failure that is mainly characterized by oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis led to a great part of terminal liver pathology with limited effective intervention. Here, we used a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation model to simulate the septic liver injury and investigated the effect of sophocarpine on LPS-stimulated mice with endotoxemia. We found that sophocarpine increases the survival rate of mice and attenuates the LPS-induced liver injury, which is indicated by pathology and serum liver enzymes. Further research found that sophocarpine ameliorated hepatic oxidative stress indicators (H2O2, O2∙−, and NO) and enhanced the expression of antioxidant molecules such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH). In addition, sophocarpine also attenuated regional and systematic inflammation and further reduced apoptosis of hepatocytes. Mechanistic evidence was also investigated in the present study as sophocarpine inhibited hepatic expression of the CYP2E/Nrf2 pathway during oxidative stress, inactivated p38/JNK cascade and NF-κB pathway, and, meanwhile, suppressed PI3K/AKT signaling that reduced apoptosis. Conclusively, the present study unveiled the protective role of sophocarpine in LPS-stimulated oxidative reaction, inflammation, and apoptosis by suppressing the CYP2E/Nrf2/ROS as well as PI3K/AKT pathways, suggesting its promising role in attenuating inflammation and liver injury of septic endotoxemia.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the CD14 rs2569190 polymorphism and death related to septic shock in white European patients who underwent major cardiac or abdominal surgery. We carried out a retrospective study in 205 septic shock patients. The septic shock diagnosis was established by international consensus definitions. The outcome variable was the death within 28, 60 and 90 days after septic shock diagnosis. The CD14 rs2569190 polymorphism was analyzed by Agena Bioscience’s MassARRAY platform. For the genetic association analysis with survival was selected a recessive inheritance model (GG vs. AA/AG). One hundred thirteen out of 205 patients (55.1%) died with a survival median of 39 days (95%CI = 30.6; 47.4). Patients with rs2569190 GG genotype had shorter survival probability than rs2569190 AA/AG genotype at 60 days (62.3% vs 50%; p = 0.035), and 90 days (62.3% vs 52.6%; p = 0.046). The rs2569190 GG genotype was associated with increased risk of septic shock-related death in the first 60 days (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.67; p = 0.016) and 90 days (aHR = 1.64; p = 0.020) compared to rs2569190 AA/AG genotype. In conclusion, the presence of CD14 rs2569190 GG genotype was associated with death in shock septic patients who underwent major surgery. Further studies with bigger sample size are required to verify this relationship.

Abstract
Occurrence and development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a complex process affected both by gene and environment. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNAs’ (miRNAs) biogenesis influenced the expression of mature miRNAs, further had an impact on risk of NSCLC. Our study focused on the correlation between rs213210, rs421446 or rs107822 polymorphisms in pri-miR-219-1 and susceptibility or prognosis of NSCLC in Chinese. A case-control study of 405 new-diagnosis patients and 405 controls was performed. Ten ml venous blood from each subject was collected for genotype test via using TaqMan allelic discrimination methodology and SPSS was performed for statistical analyses. We found that CC genotype in rs213210 (OR=3.462, 95%CI=2.222-5.394, P<0.001) compared with TT genotype and GG genotype in rs107822 (OR=3.553, 95%CI=2.329-5.419, P<0.001) compared with AA genotype showed significantly increased risk of NSCLC. Haplotype analysis showed that pri-miR-219-1 haplotype Crs213210Crs421446Grs107822 was a dangerous haplotype for lung cancer. And polymorphisms in pri-miR-219-1 have showed no relationship with overall survival of NSCLC. Overall, these findings firstly showed that rs213210 and rs107822 could be meaningful as genetic markers for lung cancer risk.

Abstract
The critically ill polytrauma patient presents with a series of associated pathophysiologies secondary to the traumatic injuries. The most important include systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), sepsis, oxidative stress (OS), metabolic disorders, and finally multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and death. The poor outcome of these patients is related to the association of the aforementioned pathologies. The nutrition of the critically ill polytrauma patient is a distinct challenge because of the rapid changes in terms of energetic needs associated with hypermetabolism, sepsis, SIRS, and OS. Moreover, it has been proven that inadequate nutrition can prolong the time spent on a mechanical ventilator and the length of stay in an intensive care unit (ICU). A series of mathematical equations can predict the energy expenditure (EE), but they have disadvantages, such as the fact that they cannot predict the EE accurately in the case of patients with hypermetabolism. Indirect calorimetry (IC) is another method used for evaluating and monitoring the energy status of critically ill patients. In this update paper, we present a series of pathophysiological aspects associated with the metabolic disaster affecting the critically ill polytrauma patient. Furthermore, we present different non-invasive monitoring methods that could help the intensive care physician in the adequate management of this type of patient.

Abstract
One of the main causes of death in the world is lung cancer. According to the World Health Organization, the annual incidence of lung cancer increases significantly. Moreover, lung cancer accounts for one of the highest mortality rates, mainly due to late detection. Numerous studies have been conducted in order to identify new biomarkers for early diagnosis and for monitoring and evaluation of lung cancer stages. An ideal biomarker candidate is represented by the analysis of microRNAs expression. In this paper, we want to summarize microRNAs expressions in lung cancer. We also want to present the expression of microRNAs depending on the evolution of lung cancer. For this study, we analyzed the studies available in scientific databases, such as PubMed and Scopus. The studies were selected using the search keywords "microRNAs expression," "lung cancer," and "genetic biomarkers." The most significant articles were selected for the study, following rigorous analysis. To evaluate and monitor lung cancer, the expression of microRNAs may be used successfully due to increased specificity and selectivity. However, further studies are needed on the assignment and validation of microRNAs for each type of lung cancer, respectively, for each stage of evolution.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death globally. At present, there are many ways to diagnose this pathophysiology. The greatest disadvantages related to current biomarkers are their low specificity, low selectivity and low accuracy. A new method, extensively studied recently, is the expression of miRNAs, used as genetic biomarkers for the early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. This paper presents an update of miRNAs species expression that can serve as early diagnostic biomarkers and for the continuous monitoring of patients with cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Background Sepsis coincides with altered gene expression in different tissues. Accumulating evidence has suggested that microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs are important molecules involved in the crosstalk with various pathways pertinent to innate immunity, mitochondrial functions, and apoptosis. Methods We searched articles indexed in PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE and Europe PubMed Central databases using the Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) or Title/Abstract words (“microRNA”, “long non-coding RNA”, “circular RNA”, “sepsis” and/or “septic shock”) from inception to Sep 2016. Studies investigating the role of host-derived microRNA, long non-coding RNA, and circular RNA in the pathogenesis of and as biomarkers or therapeutics in sepsis were included. Data were extracted in terms of the role of non-coding RNAs in pathogenesis, and their applicability for use as biomarkers or therapeutics in sepsis. Two independent researchers assessed the quality of studies using a modified guideline from the Systematic Review Center for Laboratory animal Experimentation (SYRCLE), a tool based on the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias tool. Results Observational studies revealed dysregulation of non-coding RNAs in septic patients. Experimental studies confirmed their crosstalk with JNK/NF-κB and other cellular pathways pertinent to innate immunity, mitochondrial function, and apoptosis. Of the included studies, the SYRCLE scores ranged from 3 to 7 (average score of 4.55). This suggests a moderate risk of bias. Of the 10 articles investigating non-coding RNAs as biomarkers, none of them included a validation cohort. Selective reporting of sensitivity, specificity, and receiver operating curve was common. Conclusions Although non-coding RNAs appear to be good candidates as biomarkers and therapeutics for sepsis, their differential expression across tissues complicated the process. Further investigation on organ-specific delivery of these regulatory molecules may be useful.
