Identification of potential hub genes linked to immune and metabolic alterations in postoperative systemic inflammatory dysregulation. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1238774. [PMID: 37744382 PMCID: PMC10515200 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1238774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Postoperative systemic inflammatory dysregulation (PSID) is characterised by strongly interlinked immune and metabolic abnormalities. However, the hub genes responsible for the interconnections between these two systemic alterations remain to be identified. Methods We analysed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of individual peripheral blood nucleated cells in patients with PSID (n = 21, CRP > 250 mg/L) and control patients (n = 25, CRP < 75 mg/L) following major abdominal surgery, along with their biological functions. Correlation analyses were conducted to explore the interconnections of immune-related DEGs (irDEGs) and metabolism-related DEGs (mrDEGs). Two methods were used to screen hub genes for irDEGs and mrDEGs: we screened for hub genes among DEGs via 12 algorithms using CytoHubba in Cytoscape, and also screened for hub immune-related and metabolic-related genes using weighted gene co-expression network analysis. The hub genes selected were involved in the interaction between changes in immunity and metabolism in PSID. Finally, we validated our results in mice with PSID to confirm the findings. Results We identified 512 upregulated and 254 downregulated DEGs in patients with PSID compared with controls. Gene enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were significantly associated with immune- and metabolism-related biological processes and pathways. Correlation analyses revealed a close association between irDEGs and mrDEGs. Fourteen unique hub genes were identified via 12 screening algorithms using CytoHubba in Cytoscape and via weighted gene co-expression network analysis. Among these, CD28, CD40LG, MAPK14, and S100A12 were identified as hub genes among both immune- and metabolism-related genes; these genes play a critical role in the interaction between alterations in immunity and metabolism in PSID. The experimental results also showed that the expression of these genes was significantly altered in PSID mice. Conclusion This study identified hub genes associated with immune and metabolic alterations in patients with PSID and hub genes that link these alterations. These findings provide novel insights into the mechanisms underlying immune and metabolic interactions and new targets for clinical treatment can be proposed on this basis.

[PMID: 37244753 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2023.04.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a risk-factor for adverse postoperative outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the impact of post-discharge oral nutritional supplements (ONS) on outcomes in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. METHODS The Medline and Embase databases were searched for randomised clinical trials in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery who had received ONS for at least two weeks after discharge from hospital. The primary endpoint was weight change. Secondary endpoints included quality of life, total lymphocyte count, total serum protein and serum albumin. Analysis was performed using RevMan5.4 software. RESULTS Fourteen studies with 2480 participants (1249 ONS/1231 controls) were included. Pooling of results revealed that a reduction in postoperative weight loss in patients taking ONS, when compared with control: overall weighted mean difference (WMD) -1.69 kg, 95% CI -2.98 to -0.41, P = 0.01. Serum albumin concentration was increased in the ONS group: WMD = 1.06 g/L, 95% CI 0.04 to 2.07, P = 0.04. Haemoglobin was also increased: WMD = 2.91 g/L, 95% CI 0.58 to 5.25, P = 0.01. Total serum protein, total lymphocyte count, total cholesterol and quality of life did not differ between the groups. Patient compliance was relatively poor across the studies and there was variability in the composition of ONS, volume consumed and surgical procedures performed. CONCLUSIONS There was a reduction in postoperative weight loss and an improvement in some biochemical parameters in patients receiving ONS after gastrointestinal surgery. Future RCTs with more consistent methodologies are needed to investigate the efficacy of ONS after discharge from hospital following gastrointestinal surgery.

Abstract
Preoperative nutrition status is an important determinant of surgical outcomes, yet malnutrition assessment is not integrated into all surgical pathways. Given its importance and the high prevalence of malnutrition in patients undergoing surgical procedures, preoperative nutrition screening, assessment, and intervention are needed to improve postoperative outcomes. This narrative review discusses novel methods to assess malnutrition and frailty in the surgical patient. The Global Leadership Initiative for Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria are increasingly used in surgical settings although further spread and implementation are strongly encouraged to help standardize the diagnosis of malnutrition. The use of body composition (ie, reduced muscle mass) as a phenotypic criterion in GLIM may lead to a greater number of patients identified as having malnutrition, which may otherwise be undetected if screened by other diagnostic tools. Skeletal muscle loss is a defining criterion of malnutrition and frailty. Novel direct and indirect approaches to assess muscle mass in clinical settings may facilitate the identification of patients with or at risk for malnutrition. Selected imaging techniques have the additional advantage of identifying myosteatosis (an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality for surgical patients). Feasible pathways for screening and assessing frailty exist and may determine the cost/benefit of surgery, long-term independence and productivity, and the value of undertaking targeted interventions. Finally, the evaluation of nutrition risk and status is essential to predict and mitigate surgical outcomes. Nascent to novel approaches are the future of objectively identifying patients at perioperative nutrition risk and guiding therapy toward optimal perioperative standards of care.

Abstract
Prehabilitation comprises multidisciplinary healthcare interventions, including exercise, nutritional optimisation, and psychological preparation, which aim to dampen the metabolic response to surgery, shorten the period of recovery, reduce complications, and improve the quality of recovery and quality of life. This editorial evaluates the potential benefits and limitations of and barriers to prehabilitation in surgical patients. The results of several randomised clinical trials and meta-analyses on prehabilitation show differing results, and the strength of the evidence is relatively weak. Heterogeneity in patient populations, interventions, and outcome measures, with a wide range for compliance, contribute to this variation. Evidence could be strengthened by the conduct of large-scale, appropriately powered multicentre trials that have unequivocal clinically relevant and patient-centric endpoints. Studies on prehabilitation should concentrate on recruiting patients who are frail and at high risk. Interventions should be multimodal and exercise regimens should be tailored to each patient's ability with longitudinal measurements of impact.

Abstract
There have been ongoing debates about resuscitation fluids because each of the current fluids has its own disadvantages. The debates essentially reflect an embarrassing clinical status quo that all fluids are not quite ideal in most clinical settings. Therefore, a novel fluid that overcomes the limitations of most fluids is necessary for most patients, particularly diabetic and older patients. Pyruvate is a natural potent antioxidant/nitrosative and anti-inflammatory agent. Exogenous pyruvate as an alkalizer can increase cellular hypoxia and anoxia tolerance with the preservation of classic glycolytic pathways and the reactivation of pyruvate dehydrogenase activity to promote oxidative metabolism and reverse the Warburg effect, robustly preventing and treating hypoxic lactic acidosis, which is one of the fatal complications in critically ill patients. In animal studies and clinical reports, pyruvate has been shown to play a protective role in multi-organ functions, especially the heart, brain, kidney, and intestine, demonstrating a great potential to improve patient survival. Pyruvate-enriched fluids including crystalloids and colloids and oral rehydration solution (ORS) may be ideal due to the unique beneficial properties of pyruvate relative to anions in contemporary existing fluids, such as acetate, bicarbonate, chloride, citrate, lactate, and even malate. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that pyruvate-enriched saline is superior to 0.9% sodium chloride. Moreover, pyruvate-enriched Ringer’s solution is advantageous over lactated Ringer’s solution. Furthermore, pyruvate as a carrier in colloids, such as hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4, is more beneficial than its commercial counterparts. Similarly, pyruvate-enriched ORS is more favorable than WHO-ORS in organ protection and shock resuscitation. It is critical that pay attention first to improving abnormal saline with pyruvate for ICU patients. Many clinical trials with a high dose of intravenous or oral pyruvate were conducted over the past half century, and results indicated its effectiveness and safety in humans. The long-term instability of pyruvate aqueous solutions and para-pyruvate cytotoxicity is not a barrier to the pharmaceutical manufacturing of pyruvate-enriched fluids for ICU patients. Clinical trials with sodium pyruvate-enriched solutions are urgently warranted.

Abstract
Surgical patients are at an increased risk of negative outcomes if they are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition preoperatively. Optimisation of nutritional status should be a focus throughout the perioperative continuum to promote improved surgical outcomes. Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) protocols are increasingly applied in the surgical setting but are not yet widespread. This narrative review focused on areas of perioperative nutrition that are perceived as controversial or are lacking in agreement. A search for available literature was conducted on 1 March 2022 and relevant high-quality articles published since 2015 were considered for inclusion. Most malnutrition screening tools are not specific to the surgical population except for the Perioperative Nutrition Screen (PONS) although more large-scale initiatives are needed to improve the prevalence of preoperative nutrition screening. Poor muscle health is common in patients with malnutrition and further exacerbates negative health outcomes indicating that prevention, detection and treatment is of high importance in this population. Although a lack of consensus remains for who should receive preoperative nutritional therapy, evidence suggests a positive impact on muscle health. Additionally, postoperative nutritional support benefits surgical outcomes, with some patients requiring enteral and/or parenteral feeding routes and showing benefit from immunonutrition. The importance of nutrition extends beyond the time in hospital and should remain a priority post-discharge. The impact of individual or personalised nutrition based on select patient characteristics remains to be further investigated. Overall, the importance of perioperative nutrition is evident in the literature despite select ongoing areas of contention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Elective surgery induces skeletal muscle wasting driven by an imbalance between muscle protein synthesis and breakdown. From examination of diverse stable isotope tracer techniques, the dynamic processes driving this imbalance are unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to elucidate the mechanistic driver(s) of postoperative protein catabolism through stable isotope assessment of protein turnover before and after abdominal surgery. METHODS Meta-analysis was performed of randomized controlled trials and cohort studies in patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery that contained measurements of whole-body or skeletal muscle protein turnover using stable isotope tracer methodologies pre- and postoperatively. Postoperative changes in protein synthesis and breakdown were assessed through subgroup analysis of tracer methodology and perioperative care. RESULTS Surgery elicited no overall change in protein synthesis [standardized mean difference (SMD) -0.47, 95% confidence interval (CI): -1.32, 0.39, p = 0.25]. However, subgroup analysis revealed significant suppressions via direct-incorporation methodology [SMD -1.53, 95%CI: -2.89, -0.17, p = 0.03] within skeletal muscle. Changes of this nature were not present among arterio-venous [SMD 0.61, 95%CI: -1.48, 2.70, p = 0.58] or end-product [SMD -0.09, 95%CI: -0.81, 0.64, p = 0.82] whole-body measures. Surgery resulted in no overall change in protein breakdown [SMD 0.63, 95%CI: -0.06, 1.32, p = 0.07]. Yet, separation by tracer methodology illustrated significant increases in urinary end-products (urea/ammonia) [SMD 0.70, 95%CI: 0.38, 1.02, p < 0.001] that were not present among arterio-venous measures [SMD 0.67, 95%CI: -1.05, 2.38, p = 0.45]. CONCLUSIONS Elective abdominal surgery elicits suppressions in skeletal muscle protein synthesis that are not reflected on a whole-body level. Lack of uniform changes across whole-body tracer techniques are likely due to contribution from tissues other than skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Importance Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a global surgical quality improvement initiative now firmly entrenched within the field of perioperative care. Although ERAS is associated with significant clinical outcome improvements and cost savings in numerous surgical specialties, several opportunities and challenges deserve further discussion. Observations Uptake and implementation of ERAS Society guidelines, together with ERAS-related research, have increased exponentially since the inception of the ERAS movement. Opportunities to further improve patient outcomes include addressing frailty, optimizing nutrition, prehabilitation, correcting preoperative anemia, and improving uptake of ERAS worldwide, including in low- and middle-income countries. Challenges facing enhanced recovery today include implementation, carbohydrate loading, reversal of neuromuscular blockade, and bowel preparation. The COVID-19 pandemic poses both a challenge and an opportunity for ERAS. Conclusions and Relevance To date, ERAS has achieved significant benefit for patients and health systems; however, improvements are still needed, particularly in the areas of patient optimization and systematic implementation. During this time of global crisis, the ERAS method of delivering care is required to take surgery and anesthesia to the next level and bring improvements in outcomes to both patients and health systems.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early mobilization after cancer surgery is generally recommended. However, the effects of postoperative resistance exercise during a hospital stay have been rarely investigated. This study aimed to clarify the effects of resistance exercise after laparoscopic surgery on exercise tolerance and skeletal muscle mass in geriatric patients with gastrointestinal cancer. METHODS This single-center retrospective observational study included patients with gastrointestinal cancer who admitted for laparoscopic surgery. Exercise tolerance and skeletal muscle mass were assessed using a six-minute walking test (6MWT) and skeletal muscle index (SMI) at admission and discharge, respectively. Intergroup comparisons of absolute changes in 6MWT and SMI were analyzed by the unpaired t-test or Mann-Whitney U test according to whether resistance exercise was performed or not. Multivariable linear regression analyses were used to analyze the association of resistance exercise with changes in 6MWT and SMI. The analyses were adjusted for age, sex, cancer stage, postoperative complication, and preoperative exercise tolerance and skeletal muscle mass. RESULTS Altogether, 66 patients (mean age 69.9 years; 60.6% men) were recruited. Of them, 72.7% performed the resistance exercise and started at a median of 4.5 postoperative days. There were no significant intergroup differences in absolute changes in the 6MWT and the SMI (p = 0.153, p = 0.476, respectively). Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that resistance exercise was independently and positively associated with the 6MWT at discharge (β = 1.70, 95% confidence interval, 1.88 to 71.09) and did not significantly contribute to the SMI at discharge (95% confidence interval, -0.21 to 0.27). CONCLUSION Resistance exercise may enhance the improvement in postoperative exercise tolerance in geriatric patients with gastrointestinal cancer who underwent laparoscopic surgery.

Major elective abdominal surgery acutely impairs lower limb muscle pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity and mitochondrial function. Clin Nutr 2021; 40:1046-1051. [PMID: 32711950 PMCID: PMC7957361 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2020.07.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Revised: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS This post hoc study aimed to determine whether major elective abdominal surgery had any acute impact on mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) activity and maximal mitochondrial ATP production rates (MAPR) in a large muscle group (vastus lateralis -VL) distant to the site of surgical trauma. METHODS Fifteen patients undergoing major elective open abdominal surgery were studied. Muscle biopsies were obtained after the induction of anesthesia from the VL immediately before and after surgery for the determination of PDC and maximal MAPR (utilizing a variety of energy substrates). RESULTS Muscle PDC activity was reduced by >50% at the end of surgery compared with pre-surgery (p < 0.05). Muscle MAPR were comprehensively suppressed by surgery for the substrate combinations: glutamate + succinate; glutamate + malate; palmitoylcarnitine + malate; and pyruvate + malate (all p < 0.05), and could not be explained by a lower mitochondrial yield. CONCLUSIONS PDC activity and mitochondrial ATP production capacity were acutely impaired in muscle distant to the site of surgical trauma. In keeping with the limited data available, we surmise these events resulted from the general anesthesia procedures employed and the surgery related trauma. These findings further the understanding of the acute dysregulation of mitochondrial function in muscle distant to the site of major surgical trauma in patients, and point to the combination of general anesthesia and trauma related inflammation as being drivers of muscle metabolic insult that warrants further investigation.

Surgery 2020; 169:885-893. [PMID: 33303271 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2020.11.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Revised: 10/29/2020] [Accepted: 11/02/2020] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Open abdominal surgery is frequently related to excessive inflammation and a compromised intestinal barrier, leading to poor clinical outcomes. The administration of beta-1 blocker has been shown to effectively reduce inflammation and preserve intestinal barrier function in patients with sepsis, shock, or other critical illnesses. The underlying mechanism of these effects may be associated with the autonomic nervous system's activation via cholecystokinin receptors. This study aimed to investigate the effect of beta-1 blocker on systemic and local inflammatory responses and the intestinal barrier function in the context of open abdominal surgery. METHODS A rat model of open abdominal surgery was induced through peritoneal air exposure for 3 hours and treated via gavage with the beta-1 blocker, metoprolol, or saline. Cholecystokinin-receptor antagonists were administered before the metoprolol treatment. Peritoneal lavage fluid, serum, and tissues were collected 24 hours after surgery to determine systemic and local inflammation and intestinal integrity. RESULTS The intervention with metoprolol significantly reduced serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 (P < .05) and peritoneal interleukin-6 (P < .01) compared with those of animals treated with saline. The intestinal myeloperoxidase indicating the influx of neutrophils was also significantly prevented by the administration of metoprolol (P < .05). Above all, this intervention resulted in a significant decrease in serum D-lactate and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein, intestinal permeability, bacterial translocation, and Chiu's score for intestinal mucosa injury (P < .05). However, the anti-inflammatory and intestinal integrity protective effects of metoprolol were prevented by the blockage of cholecystokinin receptors (P < .05). CONCLUSION Our data indicate that beta-1 blocker reduces systemic and local inflammatory responses and preserves intestinal barrier function after open abdominal surgery through a mechanism that depends on cholecystokinin receptors. Clinically, these findings imply that perioperative intervention with a beta-1 blocker may be an effective new therapy to enhance recovery after open abdominal surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Researchers increasingly use intraoperative muscle biopsy to investigate mechanisms of skeletal muscle atrophy in patients with cancer. Muscles have been assessed for morphological, cellular, and biochemical features. The aim of this study was to conduct a state-of-the-science review of this literature and, secondly, to evaluate clinical and biological variation in biopsies of rectus abdominis (RA) muscle from a cohort of patients with malignancies. METHODS Literature was searched for reports on muscle biopsies from patients with a cancer diagnosis. Quality of reports and risk of bias were assessed. Data abstracted included patient characteristics and diagnoses, sample size, tissue collection and biobanking procedures, and results. A cohort of cancer patients (n = 190, 88% gastrointestinal malignancies), who underwent open abdominal surgery as part of their clinical care, consented to RA biopsy from the site of incision. Computed tomography (CT) scans were used to quantify total abdominal muscle and RA cross-sectional areas and radiodensity. Biopsies were assessed for muscle fibre area (μm2 ), fibre types, myosin heavy chain isoforms, and expression of genes selected for their involvement in catabolic pathways of muscle. RESULTS Muscle biopsy occurred in 59 studies (total N = 1585 participants). RA was biopsied intraoperatively in 40 studies (67%), followed by quadriceps (26%; percutaneous biopsy) and other muscles (7%). Cancer site and stage, % of male participants, and age were highly variable between studies. Details regarding patient medical history and biopsy procedures were frequently absent. Lack of description of the population(s) sampled and low sample size contributed to low quality and risk of bias. Weight-losing cases were compared with weight stable cancer or healthy controls without considering a measure of muscle mass in 21 out of 44 studies. In the cohort of patients providing biopsy for this study, 78% of patients had preoperative CT scans and a high proportion (64%) met published criteria for sarcopenia. Fibre type distribution in RA was type I (46% ± 13), hybrid type I/IIA (1% ± 1), type IIA (36% ± 10), hybrid type IIA/D (15% ± 14), and type IID (2% ± 5). Sexual dimorphism was prominent in RA CT cross-sectional area, mean fibre cross-sectional area, and in expression of genes associated with muscle growth, apoptosis, and inflammation (P < 0.05). Medical history revealed multiple co-morbid conditions and medications. CONCLUSIONS Continued collaboration between researchers and cancer surgeons enables a more complete understanding of mechanisms of cancer-associated muscle atrophy. Standardization of biobanking practices, tissue manipulation, patient characterization, and classification will enhance the consistency, reliability, and comparability of future studies.

Postoperative inflammation and insulin resistance in relation to body composition, adiposity and carbohydrate treatment: A randomised controlled study. Clin Nutr 2018; 38:204-212. [PMID: 29454501 PMCID: PMC6380471 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2018.01.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2018] [Accepted: 01/25/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Background & aims The aims of this study were to identify whether differences in distribution of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle in obese and non-obese individuals contribute to the magnitude of the postoperative inflammatory response and insulin resistance, with and without preoperative treatment with carbohydrate drinks. Methods Thirty-two adults (16 obese/16 non-obese) undergoing elective major open abdominal surgery participated in this 2 × 2 factorial, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Participants received Nutricia preOp® or placebo (800 ml on the night before surgery/400 ml 2–3 h preoperatively) after stratifying for obesity. Insulin sensitivity was measured using the hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp preoperatively and on the 1st postoperative day. Vastus lateralis, omental and subcutaneous fat biopsies were taken pre- and postoperatively and analysed after RNA extraction. The primary endpoint was within subject differences in insulin sensitivity. Results Major abdominal surgery was associated with a 42% reduction in insulin sensitivity from mean(SD) M value of 37.3(11.8) μmol kg−1 fat free mass (FFM) to 21.7(7.4) μmol kg−1 FFM, but this was not influenced by obesity or preoperative carbohydrate treatment. Activation of the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM1) pathway was seen in response to surgery in omental fat samples. In postoperative muscle samples, gene expression differences indicated activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR-α)/retinoid X-receptor (RXR-α) pathway in obese but not in non-obese participants. There were no significant changes in gene expression pathways associated with carbohydrate treatment. Conclusion The reduction in insulin sensitivity associated with major abdominal surgery was confirmed but there were no differences associated with preoperative carbohydrates or obesity.
