Abstract
Nitrite is the most common nitrogen-containing compound in nature. It is widely used in food processing like in pickled foods so it has caused widespread public concern about the safety of nitrites due to the formation of nitrosamine, a carcinogen, during the food process. Recent research has shown nitrite has therapeutic potential for cardiovascular disease due to its similar function to NO, yet the safety of oral nitrite and the physiological and biochemical responses induced after oral administration still require further validation. In addition, the relationship between nitrite and glycolipid metabolism still needs to be elucidated. As aquatic animals, fish are more susceptible to nitrite compared to mammals. Herein, we utilized tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) as an animal model to explore the relationship between nitrite and glycolipid metabolism in organisms. In the present study, we found that nitrite elicited a hypoxic metabolic response in tilapia and deepened this metabolic response under the co-stress of the pathogenic bacterium S.ag (Streptococcus agalactiae). In addition, nitrite-induced elevation of MetHb (Methemoglobin) and its by-product heme was involved in the metabolic response to nitrite-induced hypoxia through the HO/CO pathway, which has not yet been mentioned in previous studies. Moreover, heme affected hepatic metabolic responses through the ROS-ER stress-VLDL pathway. These findings, for the first time, reveal that nitrite exposure leads to glycolipid metabolic disorder via the heme-HO pathway in teleost. It not only provides new insights into the results of nitrite on the body but also is beneficial for developing healthy strategies for fish farming.

Bilateral nephrectomy impairs cardiovascular function and cerebral perfusion in a rat model of acute hemodilutional anemia. J Appl Physiol (1985) 2024; 136:1245-1259. [PMID: 38385183 DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00858.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Anemia and renal failure are independent risk factors for perioperative stroke, prompting us to assess the combined impact of acute hemodilutional anemia and bilateral nephrectomy (2Nx) on microvascular brain Po2 (PBro2) in a rat model. Changes in PBro2 (phosphorescence quenching) and cardiac output (CO, echocardiography) were measured in different groups of anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats (1.5% isoflurane, n = 5-8/group) randomized to Sham 2Nx or 2Nx and subsequently exposed to acute hemodilutional anemia (50% estimated blood volume exchange with 6% hydroxyethyl starch) or time-based controls (no hemodilution). Outcomes were assessed by ANOVA with significance assigned at P < 0.05. At baseline, 2Nx rats demonstrated reduced CO (49.9 ± 9.4 vs. 66.3 ± 19.3 mL/min; P = 0.014) and PBro2 (21.1 ± 2.9 vs. 32.4 ± 3.1 mmHg; P < 0.001) relative to Sham 2Nx rats. Following hemodilution, 2Nx rats demonstrated a further decrease in PBro2 (15.0 ± 6.3 mmHg, P = 0.022). Hemodiluted 2Nx rats did not demonstrate a comparable increase in CO after hemodilution compared with Sham 2Nx (74.8 ± 22.4 vs. 108.9 ± 18.8 mL/min, P = 0.003) that likely contributed to the observed reduction in PBro2. This impaired CO response was associated with reduced fractional shortening (33 ± 9 vs. 51 ± 5%) and increased left ventricular end-systolic volume (156 ± 51 vs. 72 ± 15 µL, P < 0.001) suggestive of systolic dysfunction. By contrast, hemodiluted Sham 2Nx animals demonstrated a robust increase in CO and preserved PBro2. These data support the hypothesis that the kidney plays a central role in maintaining cerebral perfusion and initiating the adaptive increase in CO required to optimize PBro2 during acute anemia.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study has demonstrated that bilateral nephrectomy acutely impaired cardiac output (CO) and microvascular brain Po2 (PBro2), at baseline. Following acute hemodilution, nephrectomy prevented the adaptive increase in CO associated with acute hemodilution leading to a further reduction in PBro2, accentuating the degree of cerebral tissue hypoxia. These data support a role for the kidney in maintaining PBro2 and initiating the increase in CO that optimized brain perfusion during acute anemia.

Abstract
Hemolysis is a complication of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb) were suggested as potential hemolysis biomarkers. This retrospective study was based on a prospective registry aimed to determine the association of COHb and MetHb levels with hemolysis in pediatric patients <4 years old who underwent cardiac surgery with CPB. Plasma-free hemoglobin (PFH), COHb, and MetHb levels were measured before CPB; every 30 minutes during CPB; and on postoperative days 1, 2, and 3. Patients were classified into hemolysis and nonhemolysis groups based on the maximum PFH levels during CPB. A total of 193 patients were included. No significant difference was observed in the maximum COHb levels during CPB (COHb CPB ) between the hemolysis and nonhemolysis groups (1.2% [interquartile range {IQR} 0.9-1.4%] vs. 1.1% [IQR: 0.9-1.4%]; p = 0.17). The maximum MetHb levels during CPB (MetHb CPB ) were significantly higher in the hemolysis group than in the nonhemolysis group (1.3% [IQR: 1.1-1.5%] vs. 1.2% [IQR: 1.0-1.4%]; p = 0.007). Areas under the receiver operating curves of COHb CPB and MetHb CPB were 0.557 (95% confidence interval: 0.475-0.640) and 0.615 (95% confidence interval: 0.535-0.695), respectively. Therefore, the predictive ability of both hemolysis biomarkers during CPB is limited.

Abstract
Biological evidence supports plasma methemoglobin as a biomarker for anemia-induced tissue hypoxia. In this translational planned substudy of the multinational randomized controlled transfusion thresholds in cardiac surgery (TRICS-III) trial, which included adults undergoing cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass with a moderate-to-high risk of death, we investigated the relationship between perioperative hemoglobin concentration (Hb) and methemoglobin; and evaluated its association with postoperative outcomes. The primary endpoint was a composite of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and severe acute kidney injury at 28 days. We observe weak non-linear associations between decreasing Hb and increasing methemoglobin, which were strongest in magnitude at the post-surgical time point. Increased levels of post-surgical methemoglobin were associated with a trend toward an elevated risk for stroke and exploratory neurological outcomes. Our generalizable study demonstrates post-surgical methemoglobin may be a marker of anemia-induced organ injury/dysfunction, and may have utility for guiding personalized approaches to anemia management.

Abstract
Heme is the reactive center of several metal-based proteins that are involved in multiple biological processes. However, free heme, defined as the labile heme pool, has toxic properties that are derived from its hydrophobic nature and the Fe-atom. Therefore, the heme concentration must be tightly controlled to maintain cellular homeostasis and to avoid pathological conditions. Therefore, different systems have been developed to scavenge either Hb (i.e., haptoglobin (Hp)) or the free heme (i.e., high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), hemopexin (Hx), and human serum albumin (HSA)). In the first seconds after heme appearance in the plasma, more than 80% of the heme binds to HDL and LDL, and only the remaining 20% binds to Hx and HSA. Then, HSA slowly removes most of the heme from HDL and LDL, and finally, heme transits to Hx, which releases it into hepatic parenchymal cells. The Hx:heme or HSA:heme complexes are internalized via endocytosis mediated by the CD91 and CD71 receptors, respectively. As heme constitutes a major iron source for pathogens, bacteria have evolved hemophores that can extract and uptake heme from host proteins, including HSA:heme. Here, the molecular mechanisms underlying heme scavenging and delivery from HSA are reviewed. Moreover, the relevance of HSA in disease states associated with increased heme plasma concentrations are discussed.

Abstract
Following the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) associated with pneumonia in China (Corona Virus Disease 2019, COVID-19) at the end of 2019, the world is currently facing a global pandemic of infections with SARS-CoV-2 and cases of COVID-19. Since severely ill patients often show elevated methemoglobin (MetHb) and carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) concentrations in their blood as a marker of disease severity, we aimed to summarize the currently available published study results (case reports and cross-sectional studies) on MetHb and COHb concentrations in the blood of COVID-19 patients. To this end, a systematic literature research was performed. For the case of MetHb, seven publications were identified (five case reports and two cross-sectional studies), and for the case of COHb, three studies were found (two cross-sectional studies and one case report). The findings reported in the publications show that an increase in MetHb and COHb can happen in COVID-19 patients, especially in critically ill ones, and that MetHb and COHb can increase to dangerously high levels during the course of the disease in some patients. The medications given to the patient and the patient’s glucose-6-phospate dehydrogenase (G6PD) status seem to be important factors determining the severity of the methemoglobinemia and carboxyhemoglobinemia. Therefore, G6PD status should be determined before medications such as hydroxychloroquine are administered. In conclusion, MetHb and COHb can be elevated in COVID-19 patients and should be checked routinely in order to provide adequate medical treatment as well as to avoid misinterpretation of fingertip pulse oximetry readings, which can be inaccurate and unreliable in case of elevated MetHb and COHb levels in the blood.

Abstract
Nitrite is a common food additive, however, its reduction product, nitrosamine, is a strong carcinogen, and hence the ultra-sensitive detection of nitrite is an effective means to prevent related cancers. In this study, different sized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were modified with P-aminothiophenol (ATP) and naphthylethylenediamine (NED). In the presence of nitrite, satellite-like AuNPs aggregates formed via the diazotization coupling reaction and the color of the system was changed by the functionalized AuNPs aggregates. The carcinogenic nitrite content could be detected by colorimetry according to the change in the system color. The linear concentration range of sodium nitrite was 0-1.0 μg mL-1 and the detection limit was determined to be 3.0 ng mL-1. Compared with the traditional method, this method has the advantages of high sensitivity, low detection limit, good selectivity and can significantly lower the naked-eye detection limit to 3.0 ng mL-1. In addition, this method is suitable for the determination of nitrite in various foods. We think this novel designed highly sensitive nitrate nanosensor holds great market potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infants with cyanotic congenital heart disease demonstrate wide fluctuations in hemoglobin (Hb), oxygen saturation, and cardiac output following palliation. Methemoglobin (Met-Hb), the product of Hb oxidation, may represent a compensatory mechanism during hypoxia and may be utilized as a biomarker. METHODS Arterial and venous Met-Hb levels were obtained from infants requiring palliation. The primary outcome was to describe the relationship between Met-Hb and other indices of tissue oxygenation (venous saturation, estimated arteriovenous oxygen difference [Est AV-Diff], and lactate). Secondary outcomes were to determine the impact of elevated Met-Hb levels ≥1.0% and the effect of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on Met-Hb levels. RESULTS Fifty infants and 465 Met-Hb values were studied. Venous Met-Hb levels were significantly higher than arterial levels (venous: 0.84% ± 0.36% vs arterial: 0.45% ± 0.18%; P < .001). Venous Met-Hb demonstrated a significant inverse relationship with venous oxygen saturation (R = -0.6; P < .001) and Hb (R = -0.3, P < .001) and a direct relationship with the Est AV-Diff (R = 0.3, P < .001). A total of 129 (29.6%) venous Met-Hb values were elevated (≥1.0%) and were associated with significantly lower Hb and venous saturation levels and higher Est AV-Diff and lactate levels. Methemoglobin levels decreased significantly following 65 RBC transfusions (0.94 ± 0.40 vs 0.77 ± 0.34; P < .001). Linear mixed models demonstrated that higher venous Met-Hb levels were associated with lower measures of tissue oxygenation and not related to any preoperative clinical differences. CONCLUSION Methemoglobin may be a clinically useful marker of tissue oxygenation in infants following surgical palliation.

Abstract
A 55-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. During an intubation procedure, the patient received an application of endobronchial lidocaine (4% gel). Within 2 h of intubation, the patient developed worsening hypoxia, and investigation of arterial blood gasses revealed a pH of 7.21, carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) of 3.3 kPa, oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) of 55.1 kPa, and measured oxygen saturation of 49%. Co-oximetry of this sample returned a methemoglobin level of 53%. Intravenous methylthioninium chloride (1% solution at 1 mg/kg) was delivered, and subsequent arterial blood gasses, at 30 min and 1 h post administration, showed methemoglobin levels of 12 and 9%, respectively, with return of oxygen saturation to > 90%.

Abstract
SummaryThe clinical impact of in-stent thrombosis is high because it is associated with high mortality and 20 % of the patients suffer a recurrent event within the two following years. The aim of this study was to characterise the morphologic and proteomic profile of in-stent thrombi (IST) in comparison to thrombi developed on native coronary arteries (CT) to identify a differential molecular signature. The study included 45 patients with ST-elevation-myocardial-infarction (STEMI) treated by primary-percutaneous-intervention and thrombus aspiration: 21 had IST and 24 had CT. Thrombi were characterised by morphologic immunohistochemical analysis and differential proteomic profiling (2-DE+MALDI-TOF/TOF). Bioinformatic analysis revealed differences in proteins related to oxidative-stress and cell death/survival. IST showed a higher content of structural proteins (gelsolin, actin-cytoplasmic-1, tropomyosin, and myosin) together with an imbalance in redox-homeostasis related proteins (increased superoxide-dismutase and decreased peroxiredoxin-2 thrombus content), and a coordinated increase of chaperones (HSP60 and HSC70) and cellular quality control-related proteins (26S–protease-regulatory-subunit-7). These changes were reflected into a significant decrease in HSC70 systemic levels and a significant increase in advanced-oxidation-protein-products (AOPP) indicative of increased oxidative stress-mediated protein damage in IST. Our results reveal an imbalance in redox-related proteins indicative of an exacerbated oxidative-stress that leads to an accumulation of AOPP serum levels in IST. Moreover, the coordinated increase in chaperones and regulatory proteins reflects the activation of intracellular protection mechanisms to maintain protein integrity in IST. The failure to counterbalance the stress situation could trigger cellular apoptosis leading to the destabilization of the thrombus and to a worse prognosis of IST-STEMI-patients.Supplementary Material to this article is available online at www.thrombosis-online.com.

Abstract
The role of erythrocytes in thrombus formation has been often neglected, but some studies have highlighted their active role in thrombotic events. Free-haemoglobin (Hb) has shown to induce oxidative-stress damage. Herein we have investigated the coordinated changes in heme-related proteins in patients with acute-coronary-syndromes (ACS), their association to ongoing thrombosis and their impact on patients' prognosis. The serum proteome of STEMI-patients (N=27) within the first 6h after event-onset and 3d after were compared to controls (N=60). Changes in heme-metabolism were characterized in a second STEMI-group by a dual proteomic approach analyzing in-vivo aspirated coronary thrombi at PCI (N=24) and the associated peripheral-blood changes (N=10). A third STEMI-group (N=132) was studied to analyze the impact of the observed changes in prognosis at 6-months-follow-up. The haptoglobin/hemopexin(Hpg/Hpx)-scavenging-system revealed a time-dependent response after STEMI with an early increase in Hpg circulating levels in the acute phase (P=0.01) and a late increase in Hpx levels 3d after (P=0.045). Beta-Hb content in coronary thrombi was directly correlated with systemic beta-Hb and Hpg (R=0.804,P=0.0029; R=0.859,P=0.0007) levels. The presence of a fully-occlusive thrombus was associated to higher circulating levels of beta-Hb (P=0.03) and unbound-Hpg (P=0.03). ELISA validation demonstrated a decreased survival rate at 6-months follow-up in STEMI-patients with lower Hpg plasma levels at admission (P=0.027). Our results show active Hb-release form erythrocytes in ACS. This release is followed by a systemic early increase in Hpg levels and a late increase in Hpx levels that can co-ordinately help to prevent systemic pro-oxidative effects. The Hb-scavenging ability of haptoglobin is related to patients' prognosis.

Abstract
Acute anemia and hemodilution are associated with increased organ injury (brain, kidney) and mortality in patients undergoing surgery. A more complete understanding of the adaptive physiological mechanisms which maintain tissue oxygen delivery, and the hemoglobin concentration at which these mechanisms are overwhelmed, would help to direct treatments to improve event free survival in patients who experience acute anemia. Adaptive cardiovascular and cellular responses are key to maintaining survival during acute anemia. We have identified neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) promote survival during acute anemia in animal models. In addition, activation of tissue nNOS may promote oxidation of hemoglobin to methemoglobin: a potential biomarker of anemia-induced tissue hypoxia. We continue to explore the possibility that methemoglobin, and other hypoxic signaling molecules, may be biomarkers of anemia induced tissue hypoxia which can be used to guide optimal treatment of anemic patents.

Abstract
Acute anemia increases the risk for perioperative morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients who experience blood loss and fluid resuscitation (hemodilution). Animal models of acute anemia suggest that neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)-derived nitric oxide (NO) is adaptive and protects against anemia-induced mortality. During acute anemia, we have observed a small but consistent increase in methemoglobin (MetHb) levels that is inversely proportional to the acute reduction in Hb observed during hemodilution in animals and humans. We hypothesize that this increase in MetHb may be a biomarker of anemia-induced tissue hypoxia. The increase in MetHb may occur by at least two mechanisms: (1) direct hemoglobin oxidation by increased nNOS-derived NO within the perivascular tissue and (2) by increased deoxyhemoglobin (DeoxyHb) nitrite reductase activity within the vascular compartment. Both mechanisms reflect a potential increase in NO signaling from the tissue and vascular compartments during anemia. These responses are thought to be adaptive; as deletion of nNOS results in increased mortality in a model of acute anemia. Finally, it is possible that prolonged activation of these mechanisms may lead to maladaptive changes in redox signaling. We hypothesize, increased MetHb in the vascular compartment during acute anemia may reflect activation of adaptive mechanisms which augment NO signaling. Understanding the link between anemia, MetHb and its treatments (transfusion of stored blood) may help us to develop novel treatment strategies to reduce the risk of anemia-induced morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The quest for neuroprotection strategies during periods of neuronal vulnerability persists despite decades of basic and clinical research. This review will focus on the latest developments in the area of clinical brain protection with the major emphasis on strategies that can be beneficial during neurosurgical procedures. RECENT FINDINGS Brain protection in neurosurgical patients may be achieved by nonpharmacological and pharmacological strategies. Pharmacological neuroprotection including anaesthetic administration have not been recently shown to be successful. Alternatively, nonpharmacological strategies including maintenance of cerebral perfusion by adequate control of mean arterial pressure (≥80 mmHg), liberal normoglycaemia (7.8-10 mmol/l), adequate haemoglobin levels (preoperative ≥120 g/l and intraoperative ≥90 g/l) and induction of hypertension (20-40% of preoperative values) in certain neurosurgical situations can be beneficial as neuroprotectants during neurosurgery. Mild hypothermia (32-35°C) failed to achieve neuroprotective effects in several situations of brain injury. SUMMARY The findings of this review suggest that the anaesthesiologist is compelled to use nonpharmacological strategies sometimes based on empiric evidence to protect the brain during neurosurgical procedures. These strategies are simple, have high benefit/risk ratios and are inexpensive. Rigorous controlled clinical studies are needed to investigate the neuroprotective efficacy of these commonly used nonpharmacological methods.
