Abstract
ABSTRACT Background: The association between sepsis and noninfectious respiratory diseases is well-documented, yet the specific causal link between the two remains unclear. In order to explore this relationship further, we employed a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis utilizing data from the UK Biobank and FinnGen Biobank. Methods: We analyzed the summary statistics of a genome-wide association study summary statistics for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pulmonary embolism (PE), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), lung cancer, sepsis, and sepsis-related mortality. We employed the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method and four additional MR methods. Heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy were assessed using the Cochrane's Q test, MR-Egger intercept, and MR-PRESSO test. A sensitivity analysis was also performed. Results: MR analysis showed associations between COPD and lung cancer with increased sepsis risk (odds ratio (OR)IVW 1.138, P = 0.006; (OR)IVW 1.123, P = 0.031; respectively) and sepsis mortality ((OR)IVW 1.350, P = 0.022; (OR)IVW 1.312, P = 0.022; respectively). Asthma exhibited a potential protective effect against sepsis mortality ((OR)IVW = 0.300, P = 0.039), while PE demonstrated a risk effect ((OR)IVW = 1.148, P = 0.032). No causal association was observed between asthma, PE, and sepsis ( P > 0.05). IPF and OSA were not significantly associated with sepsis or sepsis-related mortality ( P > 0.05). Heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy were not evident for asthma or lung cancer ( P > 0.05). However, horizontal pleiotropy was suggested for COPD by the MR-Egger regression ( P < 0.05), but not by the MR-PRESSO test ( P > 0.05). IPF and OSA were not significantly associated with sepsis or sepsis-related mortality ( P > 0.05). Conclusion: Our MR analysis offers new insights into potential links between noninfectious respiratory diseases and the risk of sepsis. However, additional investigation into the underlying mechanisms and clinical studies are necessary to confirm these findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS) in sepsis patients and to explore its influencing factors. METHODS In the study, 365 patients diagnosed with sepsis in the emergency critical care department of Shanghai First People's Hospital from January 2017 to January 2023 were retrospectively enrolled. The patients were divided into ESS and non-ESS groups based on whether the patients were complicated with ESS.Baseline variables and relevant clinical data of the enrolled patients were collected. The prevalence of ESS in sepsis patients and its influencing factors were evaluated by multivariate Logistic regression analysis, and the 30-day survival rates were compared between the two groups. The optimal cutoff value for free triiodothyronine (FT3) was explored to predict death in the patients with sepsis. RESULTS There were 103 sepsis patients with ESS, accounting for 28.2% of the total cases. The severity of sepsis in ESS group was significantly higher than that in non-ESS group (P < 0.05). The acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)score and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score of ESS group were significantly higher than those of non-ESS group (P < 0.05). C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), serum amyloid A (SAA) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in ESS group were higher than those in non-ESS group. total cholesterol(TC)and high-density liptein cholesterol(HDL-C)in ESS group were lower than those in non-ESS group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that PCT, IL-6, CRP, SAA and activated partial thromboplatin time (APTT) were independent risk factors for ESS in the sepsis patients (OR values were 1.105, 1.006, 1.005, 1.009 and 1.033, respectively; 95% CI were 1.044-1.170, 1.001-1.012, 1.001-1.009, 1.005-1.014, 1.004-1.062, respectively, P < 0.05).The 30-day survival rate in ESS group was significantly lower than that in non-ESS group, the Long-rank chi-square test value was 16.611, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).The receiver operation characteristic area under the curve (AUCROC)of FT3 predicted death in the patients with sepsis was 0.924 (95% CI 0.894-0.954). The serum FT3 cutoff point was 3.705 pmol/L, the specificity was 0.868, and the sensitivity was 0.950. CONCLUSION In this study, the incidence of ESS in sepsis patients was determined to be 28.2% with poor prognosis. The results showed that PCT, IL-6, CRP, SAA and APTT were independent risk factors for ESS in sepsis patients, while HDL-C was a protective factor (P < 0.05). FT3 is a novel potential biomarker for predicting death in patients with sepsis.

Abstract
To analyze the correlation between Balthazar CT grading and contrast-enhanced CT necrosis volume and attenuation value and prognosis of patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Ninety-two patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis who were treated in the hospital were selected between June 2019 and June 2021, and they were divided into the poor prognosis group and the good prognosis group according to the clinical prognosis at 6 months of follow-up. Balthazar CT, contrast-enhanced CT necrosis volume, and attenuation value were compared between the 2 groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors. Receiver operating characteristic curve was adopted to analyze the predictive value. Among the 92 participants, there were 28 cases with good prognosis (30.43%) and 64 cases with poor prognosis (69.57%). The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, C-reactive protein, urea nitrogen, Balthazar CT, necrotic volume, and average attenuation value of the poor prognosis group were significantly higher than those of the good prognosis group (all P values <.05). The results of the multivariate logistic analysis showed that Balthazar CT grade, necrotic volume, and average attenuation value were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (all P values <.05). The area under the curve of Balthazar CT grade, necrotic volume, average attenuation value, and the joint detection in predicting the prognosis of patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis were 0.765, 0.624, 0.764, and 0.861, respectively. The Balthazar CT grading, necrosis volume, and average attenuation value are significantly higher among patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis complicated with poor prognosis, and they are also independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis, and can help clinically predict the prognosis of patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis, and the combined detection has better application effects.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective : Numerous epidemiological studies have identified a potential link between sepsis and a variety of autoimmune disorders. The primary objective of this study is to delve deeper into this connection, investigating the potential causal relationship between sepsis and autoimmune disorders through the application of Mendelian randomization (MR). Methods : To assess the potential genetic impact on sepsis risk relating to susceptibility toward immune-related outcomes, we used summary data from the largest European genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on these conditions using a two-sample MR framework. Single nucleotide polymorphisms-which had strong associations with the nine traits-were extracted from the GWAS and examined their effects in an extensive European sepsis GWAS (486,484 cases and 474,841 controls). We used inverse-variance weighted MR, weighted median, and MR Egger for analyses, supplementing these with sensitivity analyses and assessing level pleiotropy using MR methodologies. We also executed a reverse MR analysis to test sepsis' causal effects on the designated autoimmune traits. Results : With primary sclerosing cholangitis being the exception, our MR analysis suggests that susceptibility toward most autoimmune diseases does not affect sepsis risks. The reverse MR analysis did not validate any influence of sepsis susceptibility over other autoimmune diseases. Our primary inverse-variance weighted MR analysis outcomes found general confirmation through our sensitivity MR examinations. Variance in the exposures, as dictated by the single nucleotide polymorphism sets used as MR instruments, ranged between 4.88 × 10 -5 to 0.005. Conclusion : Our MR research, centered on a European population, does not validate a correlation between susceptibility to the majority of autoimmune disorders and sepsis risk. Associations discerned in epidemiological studies may owe partly to shared biological or environmental confounders. The risk susceptibility for primary sclerosing cholangitis does relate to sepsis risk, opening doors for personalized precision treatments in the future.

Abstract
The function of type 2 immunity and mechanisms underlying the initiation of type 2 immunity after sepsis-induced lung injury remain unclear. Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) has been demonstrated to modulate type 2 immunity in the context of asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. Thus, this study aims to investigate the role of type 2 immunity and whether and how S1PR2 regulates type 2 immunity in sepsis. Peripheral type 2 immune responses in patients with sepsis and healthy control subjects were assessed. The impact of S1PR2 on type 2 immunity in patients with sepsis and in a murine model of sepsis was further investigated. The type 2 innate immune responses were significantly increased in the circulation of patients 24 hours after sepsis, which was positively related to clinical complications and negatively correlated with S1PR2 mRNA expression. Animal studies showed that genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of S1PR2 induced type 2 innate immunity accumulation in the post-septic lungs. Mechanistically, S1PR2 deficiency promoted macrophage-derived interleukin (IL)-33 increase and the associated type 2 response in the lung. Furthermore, S1PR2-regulated IL-33 from macrophages mitigated lung injury after sepsis in mice. In conclusion, a lack of S1PR2 modulates the type 2 immune response by upregulating IL-33 release from macrophages and alleviates sepsis-induced lung injury. Targeting S1PR2 may have potential therapeutic value for sepsis treatment.

Abstract
Bronchial asthma is a widely prevalent illness that substantially impacts an individual's health standard worldwide and has a significant financial impact on society. Global guidelines for managing asthma do not recommend the routine use of antimicrobial agents because most episodes of the condition are linked to viral respiratory tract infections (RTI), and bacterial infection appears to have an insignificant impact. However, antibiotics are recommended when there is a high-grade fever, a consolidation on the chest radiograph, and purulent sputum that contains polymorphs rather than eosinophils. Managing acute bronchial asthma with sepsis, specifically the choice of whether or not to initiate antimicrobial treatment, remains difficult since there are currently no practical clinical or radiological markers that allow for a simple distinction between viral and bacterial infections. Researchers found that serum procalcitonin (PCT) values can efficiently and safely minimize antibiotic usage in individuals with severe acute asthma. Again, the clinical manifestations of acute asthma and bacterial RTI are similar, as are frequently used test values, like C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell (WBC) count, making it harder for doctors to differentiate between viral and bacterial infections in asthma patients. The role and scope of each biomarker have not been precisely defined yet, although they have all been established to aid healthcare professionals in their diagnostics and treatment strategies.

Abstract
Severe Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with several pre-existing comorbidities and demographic factors. Similar factors are linked to critical sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We hypothesized that age and comorbidities are more generically linked to critical illness mortality than a specific disease state. We used national databases to identify ICU patients and to retrieve comorbidities. The relative importance of risk factors for 60-day mortality was evaluated using the interaction with disease group (Sepsis, ARDS or COVID-19) in logistic regression models. We included 32,501 adult ICU patients. In the model on 60-day mortality in sepsis and COVID-19 there were significant interactions with disease group for age, sex and asthma. In the model on 60-day mortality in ARDS and COVID-19 significant interactions with cohort were found for acute disease severity, age and chronic renal failure. In conclusion, age and sex play particular roles in COVID-19 mortality during intensive care but the burden of comorbidity was similar between sepsis and COVID-19 and ARDS and COVID-19.
