Abstract
Early identification and management of multimorbidity in patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs), such as RA, is an integral, but often neglected, aspect of care. The prevalence and incidence of conditions such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease and malignancies, often co-existing with RA, continues to have significant implications for the management of this patient group. Multimorbidity in RMDs can be associated with inflammatory disease activity and target organ damage. Lifestyle factors, such as smoking and inactivity, further contribute to the burden of disease. Inflammation is the underlying factor, not just in RA but also many comorbidities. The current framework of a treat-to-target approach focuses on achieving early remission and inflammatory activity suppression. We describe how the comorbidity burden in people with RMDs impacts on disease outcome and treatment response. The importance of addressing comorbidity at an early stage and adopting a patient centred approach is critical in modern practice.

Tatucu-Babet OA, Diehl A, Kratzing C, Lambell K, Burrell A, Tierney A, Nyulasi I, Bailey M, Sheldrake J, Ridley EJ. Modified indirect calorimetry for patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a pilot feasibility study. Eur J Clin Nutr 2023; 77:888-894. [PMID: 37198437 PMCID: PMC10191396 DOI: 10.1038/s41430-023-01291-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Traditional indirect calorimetry is unable to capture complete gas exchange in patients receiving venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). We aimed to determine the feasibility of using a modified indirect calorimetry protocol in patients receiving VA ECMO, report measured energy expenditure (EE) and compare EE to control critically ill patients. SUBJECTS/METHODS Mechanically ventilated adult patients receiving VA ECMO were included. EE was measured within 72 h of VA ECMO commencement (timepoint one [T1]) and on approximately day seven of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission (timepoint two [T2]). Traditional indirect calorimetry via the ventilator was combined with calculations of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production derived from pre- and post-ECMO membrane blood gas analyses. Completion of ≥60% EE measurements was deemed feasible. Measured EE was compared between T1 and T2 and to control patients not receiving VA ECMO. Data is presented as n(%) and median[interquartile range (IQR)]. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were recruited; 16(76%) male, aged 55[42-64] years. The protocol was feasible to complete at T1 (14(67%)) but not at T2 (7(33%)) due to predominantly ECMO decannulation, extubation or death. EE was 1454[1213-1860] at T1 and 1657[1570-2074] kcal/d at T2 (P = 0.043). In patients receiving VA ECMO versus controls, EE was 1577[1434-1801] versus 2092[1609-2272] kcal/d, respectively (P = 0.056). CONCLUSION Modified indirect calorimetry is feasible early in admission to ICU but is not possible in all patients receiving VA ECMO, especially later in admission. EE increases during the first week of ICU admission but may be lower than EE in control critically ill patients.

The Impact of Acute Systemic Inflammation Secondary to Oesophagectomy and Anastomotic Leak on Computed Tomography Body Composition Analyses. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15092577. [PMID: 37174044 PMCID: PMC10177546 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15092577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to longitudinally assess CT body composition analyses in patients who experienced anastomotic leak post-oesophagectomy. Consecutive patients, between 1 January 2012 and 1 January 2022 were identified from a prospectively maintained database. Changes in computed tomography (CT) body composition at the third lumbar vertebral level (remote from the site of complication) were assessed across four time points where available: staging, pre-operative/post-neoadjuvant treatment, post-leak, and late follow-up. A total of 20 patients (median 65 years, 90% male) were included, with a total of 66 computed tomography (CT) scans analysed. Of these, 16 underwent neoadjuvant chemo(radio)therapy prior to oesophagectomy. Skeletal muscle index (SMI) was significantly reduced following neoadjuvant treatment (p < 0.001). Following the inflammatory response associated with surgery and anastomotic leak, a decrease in SMI (mean difference: -4.23 cm2/m2, p < 0.001) was noted. Estimates of intramuscular and subcutaneous adipose tissue quantity conversely increased (both p < 0.001). Skeletal muscle density fell (mean difference: -5.42 HU, p = 0.049) while visceral and subcutaneous fat density were higher following anastomotic leak. Thus, all tissues trended towards the radiodensity of water. Although tissue radiodensity and subcutaneous fat area normalised on late follow-up scans, skeletal muscle index remained below pre-treatment levels.

Melatonin in Newborn Infants Undergoing Surgery: A Pilot Study on Its Effects on Postoperative Oxidative Stress. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12030563. [PMID: 36978811 PMCID: PMC10044879 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12030563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Surgery is frequently associated with excessive oxidative stress. Melatonin acts as an antioxidant and transient melatonin deficiency has been described in neonatal surgical patients. This randomized, blinded, prospective pilot study tested the hypothesis that oral melatonin supplementation in newborn infants undergoing surgery is effective in reducing perioperative oxidative stress. A total of twenty-three newborn infants requiring surgery were enrolled: 10 received a single dose of oral melatonin 0.5 mg/kg in the morning, before surgery (MEL group), and 13 newborns served as the control group (untreated group). Plasma concentrations of melatonin, Non-Protein-Bound Iron (NPBI), Advanced Oxidation Protein Products (AOPP), and F2-Isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs) were measured. Both in the pre- and postoperative period, melatonin concentrations were significantly higher in the MEL group than in the untreated group (preoperative: 1265.50 ± 717.03 vs. 23.23 ± 17.71 pg/mL, p < 0.0001; postoperative: 1465.20 ± 538.38 vs. 56.47 ± 37.18 pg/mL, p < 0.0001). Melatonin significantly increased from the pre- to postoperative period in the untreated group (23.23 ± 17.71 vs. 56.47 ± 37.18 pg/mL; pg/mL p = 0.006). In the MEL group, the mean blood concentrations of NPBI, F2-IsoPs, and AOPP significantly decreased from the pre- to the postoperative period (4.69 ± 3.85 vs. 1.65 ± 1.18 micromol/dL, p = 0.049; 128.40 ± 92.30 vs. 50.25 ± 47.47 pg/mL, p = 0.037 and 65.18 ± 15.50 vs. 43.98 ± 17.92 micromol/dL, p = 0.022, respectively). Melatonin concentration increases physiologically from the pre- to the postoperative period, suggesting a defensive physiologic response to counteract oxidative stress. The administration of exogenous melatonin in newborn infants undergoing surgery reduces lipid and protein peroxidation in the postoperative period, showing a potential role in protecting babies from the deleterious consequences of oxidative stress.

A system theory based digital model for predicting the cumulative fluid balance course in intensive care patients. Front Physiol 2023; 14:1101966. [PMID: 37123264 PMCID: PMC10133509 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1101966] [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: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Surgical interventions can cause severe fluid imbalances in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, affecting length of hospital stay and survival. Therefore, appropriate management of daily fluid goals is a key element of postoperative intensive care in these patients. Because fluid balance is influenced by a complex interplay of patient-, surgery- and intensive care unit (ICU)-specific factors, fluid prediction is difficult and often inaccurate. Methods: A novel system theory based digital model for cumulative fluid balance (CFB) prediction is presented using recorded patient fluid data as the sole parameter source by applying the concept of a transfer function. Using a retrospective dataset of n = 618 cardiac intensive care patients, patient-individual models were created and evaluated. RMSE analyses and error calculations were performed for reasonable combinations of model estimation periods and clinically relevant prediction horizons for CFB. Results: Our models have shown that a clinically relevant time horizon for CFB prediction with the combination of 48 h estimation time and 8-16 h prediction time achieves high accuracy. With an 8-h prediction time, nearly 50% of CFB predictions are within ±0.5 L, and 77% are still within the clinically acceptable range of ±1.0 L. Conclusion: Our study has provided a promising proof of principle and may form the basis for further efforts in the development of computational models for fluid prediction that do not require large datasets for training and validation, as is the case with machine learning or AI-based models. The adaptive transfer function approach allows estimation of CFB course on a dynamically changing patient fluid balance system by simulating the response to the current fluid management regime, providing a useful digital tool for clinicians in daily intensive care.

Peri-Operative Fall in Serum Albumin Levels Correlate Well With Outcomes in Children Undergoing Emergency Abdominal Surgery: A Prospective Study From a Resource-Limited Setting. Cureus 2022; 14:e24960. [PMID: 35706741 PMCID: PMC9187250 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.24960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Albumin is a negative acute-phase protein as its levels fall after injury, sepsis, and surgical stress. A review of the literature suggests that serum albumin level drops rapidly after surgery in adults and correlates well with the outcomes. However, there is limited data on the use of peri-operative fall in serum albumin levels as an outcome predictor in children undergoing emergency abdominal surgeries. We aim to investigate the correlation between the degree of peri-operative fall in serum albumin levels and the outcomes in children undergoing emergent abdominal surgeries. Materials and methods This prospective study included all children aged 2-15 years undergoing emergent abdominal surgeries between January 2019 to June 2020 at our center. Preoperative serum albumin level (A1) was recorded for all children. Postoperative day 0 serum albumin level (A2) was sent 4-6 hours following the surgery. The degree of peri-operative fall in serum albumin level (∆A) was calculated by subtracting A2 from A1. Patients were then grouped on the basis of ∆ A, i.e. groups 1 and 2 with ∆ A < 0.5 and ≥ 0.5 gm/dl respectively. Additional data like diagnosis, surgical procedure, duration of surgery, complications, and length of hospital stay were also recorded. Recorded parameters in group 1 were then compared to group 2 statistically. Results Fifty-six children (male to female ratio {M:F} = 1.5:1), who met the inclusion criteria during the study period, were included in the study. Groups 1 and 2 comprised 38 and 18 children respectively. The postoperative serum albumin levels were significantly lower in group 2 (p = 0.0005). Duration of surgery was significantly higher in group 2 (p = 0.0474). Complications and length of hospital stay were significantly higher in group 2 (p = 0.0107 and p = 0.0375 respectively). Conclusion The present study evaluated the fall in peri-operative serum albumin level (∆A) in children undergoing emergent abdominal surgery as a marker of stress. Higher values of ∆A (≥ 0.5 gm/dl) depicted a significant correlation with complications requiring re-laparotomy and a longer length of hospital stay.

Abstract
There is considerable evidence that patients with inflammatory conditions are at higher risk of developing cardiovascular (CV) disease including carotid artery stenosis. CV disease accounts for 35-50% of the excess mortality in patients with inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, with cerebrovascular disease being the second leading cause of death. We review current evidence regarding the association of inflammatory conditions and specifically carotid artery disease. Clinical epidemiological observations suggest that mechanisms other than classic risk factors may promote accelerated atherogenesis in rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis and carotid artery disease is increased in individuals with these conditions. Additional studies to better understand the underlying mechanisms and targeted strategies to mitigate such risk are indicated. For now, lifestyle modifications, aggressive treatment of risk factors and lipid lowering therapy in appropriate individuals is indicated.

Abstract
Esophagectomy for esophageal cancer is one of the most invasive procedures in gastrointestinal surgery. An invasive surgical procedure causes postoperative lung injury through the surgical procedure and one-lung ventilation during anesthesia. Lung injury developed by inflammatory response to surgical insults and oxidative stress is associated with pulmonary morbidity after esophagectomy. Postoperative pulmonary complications negatively affect the long-term outcomes; therefore, an effort to reduce lung injury improves overall survival after esophagectomy. Although significant evidence has not been established, various pharmacological treatments for reducing lung injury, such as administration of a corticosteroid, neutrophil elastase inhibitor, and vitamins are considered to have efficacy for pulmonary morbidity. In this review we survey the following topics: mediators during the perioperative periods of esophagectomy and the efficacy of pharmacological therapies for patients with esophagectomy on pulmonary complications.

Abstract
Introduction: Surgical stress is the systemic response to surgical injury. Analyzing these surgical stress responses and pharmacologically modulating them can be of immense use to an anesthetist for optimal patient care. Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl premedication on the modulation of neuroendocrine stress response during laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. Methods: After obtaining approval from the institutional ethical committee [Date - 05/11/2020, Ethical Clearence Number - 133/2018], 60 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia were randomized into three study groups of 20 patients each. Group D patients were given intravenous (i.v.) dexmedetomidine 1 μg.kg−1, Group F patients fentanyl 2 μg.kg−1 and Group C patients 10 mL of normal saline. All patients received the same anesthetic drugs and surgical procedure. Patients were assessed for changes in hemodynamic parameters such as heart rate (H) and mean arterial pressure (MAP). Blood samples were analyzed for glucose, serum albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum cortisol levels at various time intervals. Results: H and MAP differed among the groups after intubation, 5 min after pneumoperitoneum (POT), and 10 min after POT. The increase in these parameters from their baseline values was less in the dexmedetomidine group when compared to other groups. Among the biological markers, the increase in serum cortisol levels and decrease in albumin levels could be detected 6 h after induction while blood glucose levels rose immediately after the incision. CRP levels started significantly rising only after 24 h of induction. All these changes were much less pronounced in patients receiving dexmedetomidine premedication as compared to other groups. Conclusion: i.v. dexmedetomidine 1 μg.kg−1 is better than injection fentanyl 2 μg.kg−1, in the modulation of neuroendocrine response in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia.

Abstract
The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the safety of preoperative amino acid plus carbohydrate drink (Elental) loading in colon cancer surgery. Prolonged preoperative fasting increases insulin resistance, and current evidence recommends carbohydrate drinks 2 hours before surgery. We prospectively enrolled consecutive patients with a preoperative diagnosis of colon cancer who underwent surgery. The patients received 600 mL of Elental the night before surgery and 300 mL of Elental 3 hours prior to induction of anesthesia. Primary end point was the safety of preoperative amino acid (Elental) loading in colon cancer surgery. Safety measurement was anastomotic leakage and aspiration pneumonia. Secondary end points were incidence rate of incisional surgical site infection, recovery of bowel movement, length of hospital stay, postoperative nutritional status, and insulin resistance. A total of 80 consecutive patients were enrolled in this study from February 2013 to January 2014. The incidence of anastomotic leakage was 3 patients (3.8%), and there was no aspiration pneumonia. The incidence of incisional surgical site infection was 2 patients (2.5%). The median times of first flatus, defecation after surgery, and postoperative hospital stay were 1 day, 2 days, and 6 days, respectively. The insulin resistance recovered to a preoperative level after 3 days after surgery. The preoperative amino acid plus carbohydrate drink (Elental) loading 3 hours prior to induction of anesthesia in colon cancer surgery is safe, and incisional surgical site infection rate and recovery of bowel movement and insulin resistance are feasible.

Abstract
Polytrauma, with combined traumatic brain injury (TBI) and systemic damage are common among military and civilians. However, the pathophysiology of peripheral organs following polytrauma is poorly understood. Using a rat model of TBI combined with hypoxemia and hemorrhagic shock, we studied the status of peripheral redox systems, liver glycogen content, creatinine clearance, and systemic inflammation. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to hypoxemia and hemorrhagic shock insults (HH), penetrating ballistic-like brain injury (PBBI) alone, or PBBI followed by hypoxemia and hemorrhagic shock (PHH). Sham rats received craniotomy only. Biofluids and liver, kidney, and heart tissues were collected at 1 day, 2 days, 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days post-injury (DPI). Creatinine levels were measured in both serum and urine. Glutathione levels, glycogen content, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and cytochrome C oxidase enzyme activities were quantified in the peripheral organs. Acute inflammation marker serum amyloid A-1 (SAA-1) level was quantified using western blot analysis. Urine to serum creatinine ratio in PHH group was significantly elevated on 7-28 DPI. Polytrauma induced a delayed disruption of the hepatic GSH/GSSG ratio, which resolved within 2 weeks post-injury. A modest decrease in kidney SOD activity was observed at 2 weeks after polytrauma. However, neither PBBI alone nor polytrauma changed the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase activity. Hepatic glycogen levels were reduced acutely following polytrauma. Acute inflammation marker SAA-1 showed a significant increase at early time-points following both systemic and brain injury. Overall, our findings demonstrate temporal cytological/tissue level damage to the peripheral organs due to combined PBBI and systemic injury.

Abstract
Extensive burn may cause acute resistance to insulin, which accentuates hypermetabolism, impairs glucose metabolism, immune dysfunction and risks of sepsis. To minimize these effects, insulin is used as a treatment. The purpose was to analyze the collagen-elastic arrangement effects of insulin on the burned skin. Wistar rats were assigned in groups: control (C); control with insulin (C + I); scald burn injury (SBI); and SBI with insulin (SBI+ I). SBI were submitted to 45% total body surface area burn and the insulin-treated groups received insulin (5 UI/Kg/day) for 4 or 14 days (d). Insulin levels, glucose tolerance test and HOMA index were determined. The skin sections were analyzed for histophatological and morphoquantitative data. Histopathological findings showed increased reepithelization of SBI+ I and formation of a new muscle layer after 14 days. In the collagen-elastic arrangement, insulin for 4 days increased the volume fraction (Vv) of thin collagen and elastic fibers. After 14 days, independently of injury, insulin decreased the elastic fibers. Insulin was able to reverse damages in the collagen-elastic rearrangement and stimulate reepithelization after 4 days. Untreated scald-burned animals showed higher Vv of thick collagen after 4 days, while those treated had a higher Vv of thin collagen. The Vv of elastic fibers was increased in SBI+ I for 4 days. In conclusion, insulin treatment was able to stimulate reepithelization. It also reversed the damages to the collagen-elastic arrangement in the scald-burned group, improving the organization of thin collagen and increasing the Vv of elastic fibers in the injured group treated with insulin for a short time, that is, for 4 days.

Abstract
AIM The importance of physical and psychological stress caused by pain during surgery cannot be overemphasized. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of ovariohysterectomy (OVH), gastrotomy (GST), and intestinal resection and anastomosis (IRA) on biochemical parameters of Nigerian dogs anesthetized with the xylazine-propofol combination. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 12 dogs were randomly divided into three groups of four each. The animals were treated with xylazine and propofol anesthetics for OVH, GST, and IRA in Groups 1-3, respectively. Blood samples were collected at 0 h, 2, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 h postsurgery for determination of cortisol (CORT), glucose (GLU), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), globulin (GL), and ALB/GL ratio. RESULTS There were significant increases (p<0.05) in mean CORT concentrations 2 h postsurgery in the three groups and at 24 h in Group 3 and 96 h in Groups 1 and 3, respectively. GLU concentrations increased significantly (p<0.05) in the three groups at 2 h postsurgery. The mean protein concentrations in Groups 2 and 3 decreased significantly (p<0.05) at 2h and 24 h and 72 h, 96 h, 120 h, and 144 h in Group 3, respectively. There was significant decrease (p<0.05) in the mean ALB concentrations at 2 h, 24 h, 72 h, 96 h, 120 h, and 144 h postsurgery. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the mean GL concentrations in Group 3 at 24 h, 72 h, 96 h, and 144 h. All other parameters were not significantly different (p>0.05) in comparison with the control. CONCLUSION Xylazine-propofol combination could decrease humoral immune status and increase serum GLU level invariably portending a high risk of diabetes in the vulnerable dogs.

Factors affecting the caloric and protein intake over time in critically ill trauma patients. J Surg Res 2018; 226:64-71. [PMID: 29661290 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2018.01.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2017] [Revised: 10/13/2017] [Accepted: 01/12/2018] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Major trauma leads to increased nutritional requirements. However, little is known about the actual amount of calories and protein administered and the factors affecting the intake over time in critically ill trauma patients. METHODS Prospective study including 100 trauma patients admitted to the Los Angeles County + University of Southern California Medical Center intensive care unit between March 2014 and October 2014. Inclusion criteria were age > 16 y, surgery at admission, and no oral nutrition. The caloric and protein intake was recorded, and requirements were calculated daily for 28 d. The nutritional intake and the impact of clinical factors on the intake over time were assessed using mixed model analysis. RESULTS The caloric and protein intake significantly increased over time, but the median intake did not meet the median calculated requirements at any time. Multivariable analysis revealed a smaller increase of the nutritional intake over time in patients with an injury severity score > 45, whereas penetrating injury and laparotomy were associated with a higher increase of the intake. Body mass index scores ≥ 30 kg/m2, traumatic brain injury, and gastrointestinal tract injuries were associated with a smaller increase of the caloric intake over time. CONCLUSIONS The median nutritional intake did not meet the median calculated requirements over time. A smaller increase of the nutritional intake over time was found in patients with a higher injury burden, whereas penetrating injury and laparotomy were associated with a higher increase of the intake. Higher body mass index scores, traumatic brain injury, and gastrointestinal tract injuries were associated with a smaller increase of the caloric intake over time. These clinical factors can help to adjust the nutritional support in critically ill trauma patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2016 (J-SSCG 2016), a Japanese-specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in February 2017 and published in the Journal of JSICM, [2017; Volume 24 (supplement 2)] 10.3918/jsicm.24S0001 and Journal of Japanese Association for Acute Medicine [2017; Volume 28, (supplement 1)] http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jja2.2017.28.issue-S1/issuetoc.This abridged English edition of the J-SSCG 2016 was produced with permission from the Japanese Association of Acute Medicine and the Japanese Society for Intensive Care Medicine. METHODS Members of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine were selected and organized into 19 committee members and 52 working group members. The guidelines were prepared in accordance with the Medical Information Network Distribution Service (Minds) creation procedures. The Academic Guidelines Promotion Team was organized to oversee and provide academic support to the respective activities allocated to each Guideline Creation Team. To improve quality assurance and workflow transparency, a mutual peer review system was established, and discussions within each team were open to the public. Public comments were collected once after the initial formulation of a clinical question (CQ) and twice during the review of the final draft. Recommendations were determined to have been adopted after obtaining support from a two-thirds (> 66.6%) majority vote of each of the 19 committee members. RESULTS A total of 87 CQs were selected among 19 clinical areas, including pediatric topics and several other important areas not covered in the first edition of the Japanese guidelines (J-SSCG 2012). The approval rate obtained through committee voting, in addition to ratings of the strengths of the recommendation, and its supporting evidence were also added to each recommendation statement. We conducted meta-analyses for 29 CQs. Thirty-seven CQs contained recommendations in the form of an expert consensus due to insufficient evidence. No recommendations were provided for five CQs. CONCLUSIONS Based on the evidence gathered, we were able to formulate Japanese-specific clinical practice guidelines that are tailored to the Japanese context in a highly transparent manner. These guidelines can easily be used not only by specialists, but also by non-specialists, general clinicians, nurses, pharmacists, clinical engineers, and other healthcare professionals.

Abstract
Although considerable research has addressed the potential role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease, the relevance of this pathway to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes has only recently attracted interest. Circulating levels of inflammatory mediators correlate with insulin resistance and are significantly elevated in groups at risk of type 2 diabetes. Several prospective studies indicate that C-reactive protein and white cell count, together with other acute phase markers, predict incident diabetes independently of established predictors. Measures known to prevent diabetes (weight loss, exercise and metformin) and those more recently suggested (statins, ACE inhibitors and thiazolidinediones) have all been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory actions. Mechanisms linking inflammation to diabetes development are beginning to be unravelled. Emerging knowledge of inflammatory mediators may help to predict those at risk of type 2 diabetes, and further work in this area may lead to novel means of prevention and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To study the 'metabolic profile' of different surgical procedures and correlate it with pertinent surgical details and postoperative complications. METHODS We conducted a prospective pilot study of 70 patients, ten for each of the seven following groups: (1) laparoscopic cholecystectomy, (2) incisional hernia repair, (3) laparoscopic and (4) open colon surgery, (5) upper gastrointestinal, (6) hepatic, and (7) pancreatic resections. Biochemical assessment included white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), glucose, triglycerides (TG), albumin (Alb), and pre-albumin (Pre-Alb), from the day before surgery until 5 days thereafter. Biological markers were compared for major versus minor surgery groups, which were defined on a clinical basis. Univariable analysis was used to identify risk factors for postoperative complications and p < 0.05 was the significance threshold. RESULTS Common findings in all surgery groups were the acute inflammatory response (↑: WBC, CRP, ↓: TG, Alb, pre-Alb). Using cut-off values of 240 min operative (OR) time and 300 ml estimated blood loss (EBL), laparoscopic cholecystectomy, incisional hernia repair, and laparoscopic colectomy could be distinguished from open colectomy, upper gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreas resections. In a biochemical level, increased CRP and reduced postoperative Alb levels were highly discriminative of all types of 'major surgery.' Significant risk factors for postoperative complications were age, male gender, malignancy, longer OR time, higher blood loss, high CRP, and low Alb levels. CONCLUSIONS Biochemically, CRP and Alb levels can help quantify the magnitude of the surgical trauma, which is correlated with adverse outcomes.

Postoperative Albumin Drop Is a Marker for Surgical Stress and a Predictor for Clinical Outcome: A Pilot Study. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2016; 2016:8743187. [PMID: 26880899 PMCID: PMC4736779 DOI: 10.1155/2016/8743187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 112] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2015] [Revised: 11/26/2015] [Accepted: 11/29/2015] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background. Surgical stress during major surgery may be related to adverse clinical outcomes and early quantification of stress response would be useful to allow prompt interventions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute phase protein albumin in the context of the postoperative stress response. Methods. This prospective pilot study included 70 patients undergoing frequent abdominal procedures of different magnitude. Albumin (Alb) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured once daily starting the day before surgery until postoperative day (POD) 5. Maximal Alb decrease (Alb Δ min) was correlated with clinical parameters of surgical stress, postoperative complications, and length of stay. Results. Albumin values dropped immediately after surgery by about 10 g/L (42.2 ± 4.5 g/L preoperatively versus 33.8 ± 5.3 g/L at day 1, P < 0.001). Alb Δ min was correlated with operation length (Pearson ρ = 0.470, P < 0.001), estimated blood loss (ρ = 0.605, P < 0.001), and maximal CRP values (ρ = 0.391, P = 0.002). Alb Δ min levels were significantly higher in patients having complications (10.0 ± 5.4 versus 6.1 ± 5.2, P = 0.005) and a longer hospital stay (ρ = 0.285, P < 0.020). Conclusion. Early postoperative albumin drop appeared to reflect the magnitude of surgical trauma and was correlated with adverse clinical outcomes. Its promising role as early marker for stress response deserves further prospective evaluation.

Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 as a Predictor of Postoperative Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Abdominal Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0132857. [PMID: 26172830 PMCID: PMC4501793 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0132857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2014] [Accepted: 06/19/2015] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The nutritional risk screening (NRS 2002) has been applied increasingly in patients who underwent abdominal surgery for nutritional risk assessment. However, the usefulness of the NRS 2002 for predicting is controversial. This meta-analysis was to examine whether a preoperative evaluation of nutritional risk by NRS 2002 provided prediction of postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. METHODS A systematic literature search for published papers was conducted using the following online databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane library, EBSCO, CRD databases, Cinahl, PsycInfo and BIOSIS previews. The pooled odds ratio (OR) or weight mean difference (WMD) was calculated using a random-effect model or a fix-effect model. RESULTS Eleven studies with a total of 3527 patients included in this study. Postoperative overall complications were more frequent in nutritional risk patients versus patients without nutritional risk (the pooled OR 3.13 [2.51, 3.90] p<0.00001). The pooled OR of mortality for the nutritional risk group and non-nutritional risk group was 3.61 [1.38, 9.47] (p = 0.009). Furthermore, the postoperative hospital stay was significant longer in the preoperative nutritional risk group than in the nutritional normal group (WMD 5.58 [4.21, 6.95] p<0.00001). CONCLUSIONS The present study has demonstrated that patients at preoperative nutritional risk have increased complication rates, high mortality and prolonged hospital stay after surgery. However, NRS 2002 needs to be validated in larger samples of patients undergoing abdominal surgery by better reference method.

Abstract
Purpose The authors evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition and its effect on the postoperative morbidity of patients after surgery for colorectal cancer. Methods Three hundred fifty-two patients were enrolled prospectively. Nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score was calculated through interview with patient on admission. Clinical characteristics, tumor status and surgical procedure were recorded. Results The prevalence of patients at nutritional risk was 28.1 per cent according to the NRS 2002. The rate of postoperative complication was 27%. There was a significant difference in postoperative complication rates between patients at nutritional risk and those not at risk (37.4% vs. 22.9%, P = 0.006). Nutritional risk was identified as an independent predictor of postoperative complications (odds ratio, 3.05; P = 0.045). Nutritional risk increased the rate of anastomotic leakage (P = 0.027) and wound infection (P = 0.01). Conclusion NRS may be a prognostic factor for postoperative complication after surgery for colorectal cancer. A large scaled prospective study is needed to confirm whether supplementing nutritional deficits reduces postoperative complication rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutrition support has undergone significant advances in recent decades, revolutionizing the care of critically ill and injured patients. However, providing adequate and optimal nutrition therapy for such patients is very challenging: it requires careful attention and an understanding of the biology of the individual patient's disease or injury process, including insight into the consequent changes in nutrients needed. OBJECTIVE The objective of this article is to review the current principles and practices of providing nutrition therapy for critically ill and injured patients. METHODS Review of the literature and evidence-based guidelines. RESULTS The evidence demonstrates the need to understand the biology of nutrition therapy for critically ill and injured patients, tailored to their individual disease or injury, age, and comorbidities. CONCLUSION Nutrition therapy for critically ill and injured patients has become an important part of their overall care. No longer should we consider nutrition for critically ill and injured patients just as "support" but, rather, as "therapy", because it is, indeed, a key therapeutic modality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the literature related to severe burn injury (SBI), burn shock, and smoke inhalation injury in domestic animals. Current animal- and human-based research and literature were evaluated to provide an overview of thermal burn classification and the pathophysiology of burn shock and smoke inhalation injury. ETIOLOGY Severe burn injury, burn shock, and smoke inhalation injury may be encountered as a result of thermal injury, radiation injury, chemical injury, or electrical injury. DIAGNOSIS Burns can be subdivided based on the amount of total body surface area (TBSA) involved and the depth of the burn. Local burn injuries involve <20% of the TBSA whereas SBI involves >20-30% of the TBSA. The modern burn classification system classifies burns by increasing depth: superficial, superficial partial-thickness, deep partial-thickness, and full-thickness. SUMMARY Local burn injury rarely leads to systemic illness whereas SBI leads to significant metabolic derangements that require immediate and intensive management. SBI results in a unique derangement of cardiovascular dysfunction known as "burn shock." The physiologic changes that occur with SBI can be divided into 2 distinct phases; the resuscitation phase and the hyperdynamic hypermetabolic phase. The resuscitation phase occurs immediately following SBI and lasts for approximately 24-72 hours. This period of hemodynamic instability is characterized by the release of inflammatory mediators, increased vascular permeability, reduced cardiac output, and edema formation. The hyperdynamic hypermetabolic phase begins approximately 3-5 days after injury. This phase is characterized by hyperdynamic circulation and an increased metabolic rate that can persist up to 24 months post burn injury in people.

Abstract
Pediatric burns comprise a major mechanism of injury, affecting millions of children worldwide, with causes including scald injury, fire injury, and child abuse. Burn injuries tend to be classified based on the total body surface area involved and the depth of injury. Large burn injuries have multisystemic manifestations, including injuries to all major organ systems, requiring close supportive and therapeutic measures. Management of burn injuries requires intensive medical therapy for multi-organ dysfunction/failure, and aggressive surgical therapy to prevent sepsis and secondary complications. In addition, pain management throughout this period is vital. Specialized burn centers, which care for these patients with multidisciplinary teams, may be the best places to treat children with major thermal injuries. This review highlights the major components of burn care, stressing the pathophysiologic consequences of burn injury, circulatory and respiratory care, surgical management, and pain management of these often critically ill patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate whether supplementation with oral essential amino acids (EAAs) may reduce the occurrence of nosocomial infection among patients with brain injury (BI: stroke, trauma, anoxic coma). METHODS Patients (n = 125; 77 men, 48 women; mean age 63 ± 15 years) with stroke (68.8%), subarachnoid hemorrhage (17.6%), traumatic BI (7.2%), and anoxic BI (6.4%) 88 ± 15 days after the index event. Patients were randomly assigned to 2 months of oral EAAs (n = 63; 8 g/d) or placebo (n = 62). RESULTS Over the first month of rehabilitation, there were 60 infections in the whole population of 125 patients (48%); however, the rate was 23.2% lower in the EAA group (23 episodes/63 patients; 36.5%) than in the placebo group (37 episodes/62 patients; 59.7%) (P < .01). The types of infection were similarly distributed between the 2 groups. Serum levels of prealbumin <20 mg/dL and C-reactive protein (CRP) >0.3 mg/dL were the best predictors of future infection (prealbumin: odds ratio [OR] = 4.17, confidence interval [CI] 1.84-9.45, P < .001; CRP: OR = 3.8, CI 1.71-8.44, P < .001). CONCLUSION Supplementary EAAs may reduce the occurrence of nosocomial infections in rehabilitation patients with BI. Prealbumin and CRP are the best predictors of future infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Statins have many beneficial effects and may attenuate the proinflammatory and metabolic stress response to surgery and consequently reduce postoperative morbidity. OBJECTIVE This study investigated whether perioperative use of statins improved short-term outcomes after elective colectomy. DESIGN This study is a retrospective review of prospectively collected data. SETTINGS AND PATIENTS This study was conducted in consecutive patients undergoing elective colonic resection within an enhanced recovery program at a tertiary hospital (Manukau Surgery Centre, Middlemore Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand) from January 2005 to December 2010. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Complications, hospital stay, and readmissions were recorded for 30 days postoperatively. Postoperative functional recovery was measured by the use of the validated Surgical Recovery Score. Serum proinflammatory cytokines were measured on postoperative day 1. RESULTS There were 269 patients; 86 patients were on a statin perioperatively, whereas 183 patients had no statin. Members of the statin group were older (median age, 72 vs 69 years; p = 0.021), included more men (53% vs 40%; p = 0.049), and included a higher number of patients with an ASA score of 3 (55% vs 22%; p < 0.001). Patients on statin therapy had a significantly lower number of anastomotic leaks (1% vs 7%; p = 0.031). However, there was no significant difference in total complications or median hospital stay. The 2 groups had comparable functional recovery, and there was no significant difference in serum cytokine levels. LIMITATIONS This retrospective study did not analyze type, duration, or dose of statins given perioperatively. CONCLUSION Patients on perioperative statins had greater baseline perioperative risks compared with nonusers, but they achieved equivalent outcomes overall. Statin use was associated with reduced anastomotic leaks. Thus, perioperative statin use may reduce morbidity after elective colectomy, and this finding warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Surgical stress induces complex modifications in the hemodynamic, metabolic, neuro-hormonal and immune response of the individual. The magnitude of these alterations depends on preoperative events leading to surgery, the severity of surgical trauma, and also on post-operative/post-traumatic complications (multiple hit hypothesis). As in other conditions of tissue damage, surgery trauma is followed by an immune-inflammatory response, initiated at the site of injury by the innate immune system, followed by a compensatory anti-inflammatory (or immunosuppressive) response (CARS), involving mainly cells of the adaptive immune system, which predispose the host to septic complications. The up-regulated inflammatory response, together with a profound impairment of macrophage and cell-mediated immunity, appear to be the cause for patients' increased susceptibility in developing subsequent sepsis after major surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical safety and efficacy of preoperative glucocorticoid (GC) administration in major abdominal surgery with regards to short term outcomes. BACKGROUND Previous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in major abdominal surgery have displayed conflicting results regarding the short-term benefits of preoperative GC administration. Importantly, the safety of this intervention has not been conclusively determined. METHODS A systematic review and quantitative meta-analysis was conducted of all RCTs exploring preoperative GC administration in major abdominal surgery for the endpoints of complications, hospital length of stay (LOS) and serum IL-6 on postoperative day one. Subset analyses by procedure were planned "a priori." RESULTS Eleven RCTs of moderate quality, comprising 439 patients in total, were included in the final analysis. Preoperative GC use decreased complications (OR = 0.37; 95% CI, 0.21-0.64; P < 0.01), LOS (mean = 1.97 days; 95% CI, -3.33 to -0.61; P = 0.01), and serum IL-6 (mean: -55 pg/mL; 95% CI, -82.30 to -27.91; P < 0.01). Preoperative GCs decreased complications in hepatic resection (OR = 0.28; 95% CI, 0.14-0.55; P < 0.01) and mean LOS (mean LOS: -2.66; 95% CI, -5.01 to -0.32; P = 0.03). GCs reduced mean LOS in patients undergoing colorectal surgery (mean LOS: -0.98; 95% CI, -1.67 to -0.27; P = 0.01). There was no difference in complication rates (OR: 0.45; 95% CI, 0.16-1.32; P = 0.15) or anastomotic leaks specifically. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative administration of GCs decreases complications and LOS after major abdominal surgery as a likely consequence of attenuating the postsurgical inflammatory response. There is no evidence of increased complications in colorectal surgery.

Abstract
Nutritional support of critically ill or injured patients has undergone significant advances in the last few decades. These advances are the direct result of the growing scientific progress and increased knowledge of the biology and biochemistry of key metabolic and nutrient changes induced by injury, sepsis, and other critical illnesses, both in adults and children. As this knowledge has increased, the science of nutritional support has become more disease based and disorder based. This article discusses protein and nitrogen metabolism in critically ill patients, immunomodulation, and the key nutrients involved in an immune-enhancing diet.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The acute-phase response (APR) is critical to the body's ability to successfully respond to injury. A murine model of closed unilateral femur fractures and bilateral femur fracture were used to study the effect of injury magnitude on this response. METHODS Standardized unilateral femur fracture and bilateral femur fracture in mice were performed. The femur fracture sites, livers, and serum were harvested over time after injury. Changes in mRNA expression of cytokines, hepatic acute-phase proteins, and serum cytokines overtime were measured. RESULTS There was a rapid and short-lived hepatic APR to fracture injuries. The overall pattern in both models was similar. Both acute-phase proteins' mRNA (fibrinogen-γ and serum amyloid A-3) showed increased mRNA expression over baseline within the first 48 hours and their levels positively correlated with the extent of injury. However, increased severity of injury resulted in a delayed induction of the APR. A similar effect on the gene expression of cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α) at the fracture site was seen. Serum IL-6 levels increased with increased injury and showed no delay between injury models. CONCLUSIONS Greater severity of injury resulted in a delayed induction of the liver's APR and a diminished expression of cytokines at the fracture site. Serum IL-6 levels were calibrated to the extent of the injury, and changes may represent mechanisms by which the local organ responses to injury are regulated by the injury magnitude.

Abstract
Background Prolonged preoperative fasting increases insulin resistance and current evidence recommends carbohydrate (CHO) drinks 2 hours before surgery. Our hypothesis is that the addition of whey protein to a CHO-based drink not only reduces the inflammatory response but also diminish insulin resistance. Methods Seventeen patients scheduled to cholecystectomy or inguinal herniorraphy were randomized and given 474 ml and 237 ml of water (CO group) or a drink containing CHO and milk whey protein (CHO-P group) respectively, 6 and 3 hours before operation. Blood samples were collected before surgery and 24 hours afterwards for biochemical assays. The endpoints of the study were the insulin resistance (IR), the prognostic inflammatory and nutritional index (PINI) and the C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio. A 5% level for significance was established. Results There were no anesthetic or postoperative complications. The post-operative IR was lower in the CHO-P group when compared with the CO group (2.75 ± 0.72 vs 5.74 ± 1.16; p = 0.03). There was no difference between the two groups in relation to the PINI. The CHO-P group showed a decrease in the both CRP elevation and CRP/albumin ratio (p < 0.05). The proportion of patients who showed CRP/albumin ratio considered normal was significantly greater (p < 0.05) in the CHO-P group (87.5%) than in the CO group (33.3%). Conclusions Shortening the pre-operative fasting using CHO and whey protein is safe and reduces insulin resistance and postoperative acute phase response in elective moderate operations.

Abstract
Metabolic changes after surgery, trauma, or serious illness have a complex pathophysiology. The early posttraumatic stress response is physiologic and associated with a state of hyperinflammation, increased oxygen consumption, and increased energy expenditure. These are part of a systemic reaction that encompasses a wide range of endocrinological, immunologic, and hematological effects. Surgery initiates changes in metabolism that can affect virtually all organs and tissues; the metabolic response results in hormone-mediated mobilization of endogenous substrates that leads to stress catabolism. Hypercatabolism has been associated with severe complications related to hyperglycemia, hypoproteinemia, and immunosuppression. Proper metabolic support is essential to restore homeostasis and ensure survival.

Abstract
Standard care of burn wounds consists of cleaning and debridement (removing devitalized tissue), followed by daily dressing changes. Children with burns undergo multiple, painful and anxiety-provoking procedures during wound care and rehabilitation. The goal of procedural sedation is safe and efficacious management of pain and emotional distress, requiring a careful and systematic approach. Achieving the best results needs understanding of the mechanisms of pain and the physiologic changes in burn patients, frequent evaluation and assessment of pain and anxiety, and administration of suitable pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies. Pharmacological therapies provide the backbone of analgesia and sedation for procedural pain management. Opioids provide excellent pain control, but they must be administered judiciously due to their side effects. Sedative drugs, such as benzodiazepines and propofol, provide excellent sedation, but they must not be used as a substitute for analgesic drugs. Ketamine is increasingly used for analgesia and sedation in children as a single agent or an adjuvant. Nonpharmacological therapies such as virtual reality, relaxation, cartoon viewing, music, massage and hypnosis are necessary components of procedural sedation and analgesia for children. These can be combined with pharmacological techniques and are used to limit the use of drugs (and hence side effects), as well as to improve patient participation and satisfaction. In this article, we review the pathophysiologic changes associated with major thermal injury in children, the options available for sedation and analgesia for wound care procedures in these children and our institutional guidelines for procedural sedation.

The magnitude of this response has been directly linked to postoperative metabolic derangement, ileus, adhesions, and oncological outcomes. We aimed to compare the local and systemic cytokine response in laparoscopic and open colonic surgery and relate this to postoperative recovery parameters. METHODS Using a prospectively collected patient database, we compared a Study Group (n = 50) of patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colonic resection with a Control Group (n = 25) of patients undergoing equivalent open colonic surgery within an ERAS program. Patients were matched for age, gender, BMI, ASA, Cr Possum, side of resection, diagnosis, and histologic stage. Plasma and peritoneal fluid concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNFα were measured at 20-24 h after surgery. The Surgical Recovery Score was determined pre-operatively and at 3, 7, 30, and 60 d postoperatively. All data were prospectively collected, and a priori definitions were used for discharge parameters, complications, and complication severity. RESULTS Peritoneal fluid IL-6 concentration was lower after laparoscopic surgery. There were no significant differences in the other cytokines measured, or in any postoperative recovery outcomes. Significant correlations were found between cytokine levels and discharge criteria achievement, day stay, postoperative complications, and the Surgical Recovery Score. CONCLUSION With the exception of a lower peritoneal IL-6 level, the systemic and peritoneal cytokine response at 20-24 h is similar after laparoscopic versus open colonic resection within an ERAS program, with corresponding equivalent rates of postoperative recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Melatonin, an endogenous circadian regulator, also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidative effect of melatonin in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS Patients were randomized to receive 10 mg melatonin or placebo during surgery. Blood samples for analysis of malondialdehyde (MDA), ascorbic acid (AA), total ascorbic acid (TAA) dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were collected pre-operatively and at 5 min, 6 h and 24 h after operation. RESULTS Twenty patients received melatonin and 21 patients received placebo during surgery. No significant differences were observed between the groups in the oxidative stress variables MDA, TAA, AA and DHA or in the inflammatory variable CRP (repeated-measures ANOVA, P>0.05 for all variables). CONCLUSIONS Administration of 10 mg melatonin did not reduce variables of oxidative stress in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is generally accepted that proinflammatory mediators, including cytokines, are responsible for the metabolic changes associated with injury. Recent clinical and experimental studies have also shown that the laparoscopic procedures actually produce ischemia-reperfusion injury in the organs by oxygen-derived free radicals. This study aimed to assess the effect of different insufflation pressures and laparotomy on tissue response by comparing the proinflammatory cytokines, C-reactive protein, and serum and tissue levels of oxygen-derived free radicals. METHODS Forty mature New Zealand white rabbits were assigned to 4 groups of 10 animals. In groups 1 to 3, CO2 pneumoperitoneum was created using an automatic insufflator to the designated pressure of 10, 15, and 20 mm Hg, respectively. The remaining 10 animals underwent laparotomy using 10 cm midline incision (group 4). Blood samples were collected before (0 min) and at the end of the procedure (60 min). After the collection of last blood samples, all animals were killed and samples from liver and gut were obtained for measurements of tissue malondialdehyde levels and histology. RESULTS The proinflammatory cytokine levels were increased significantly in groups 1 to 3, but did not change in the laparotomy group. Serum C-reactive protein levels were elevated in all groups. The comparison of the results between the laparotomy and laparoscopy groups showed that serum interleukin 6 and nitric oxide levels were significantly elevated in relation the intra-abdominal pressure, and serum interleukin 6 and nitric oxide levels peaked in group 3. Tissue malondialdehyde levels were significantly higher in groups 1 and 2 than in groups 3 and 4. CONCLUSIONS The findings of our experiment suggest that the elevated intra-abdominal pressure is responsible for ischemia, free radical production, and proinflammatory cytokine response-mediated cell damage during laparoscopic surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The local and systemic humoral response after colorectal surgery is thought to affect postoperative recovery. It is commonly claimed that laparoscopic surgery elicits a diminished inflammatory response than equivalent open surgery. Despite these claims, the evidence is conflicting. Therefore, we aimed to systematically review the results from randomized controlled clinical trials comparing the humoral response associated with laparoscopic versus open colorectal surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A high-sensitivity search was conducted independently by two of the authors with no language restriction. Studies were identified from the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL/CCTR), Cochrane Library, Medline (January 1966 to January 2009), PubMed (1950 to January 2009), and Embase (1947 to January 2009). Relevant meeting abstracts and reference lists were manually searched. Data analysis was performed using Review Manager ver. 5.0. RESULTS Thirteen randomized controlled trials were included. Meta-analysis demonstrated a significantly higher serum IL-6 on d 1 after open colorectal resection for neoplasia (n = 97) compared with laparoscopic resection (n = 76, P = 0.0008) without significant heterogeneity. Data for plasma IL-6 were heterogeneous, with no apparent difference between groups. No other significant differences were identified, and there were not enough data on local peritoneal humoral factors to allow meta-analysis. CONCLUSION Open colorectal resection for neoplasia is associated with higher postoperative serum levels of IL-6 on d 1 than equivalent laparoscopic surgery. The aetiology and clinical significance of this finding is uncertain, and further studies are required to elucidate any differences in the local humoral response which may be more clinically relevant in surgery for this indication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The peritoneum is a bilayer serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity. We present a review of peritoneal structure and physiology, with a focus on the peritoneal inflammatory response to surgical injury and its clinical implications. METHODS We conducted a nonsystematic clinical review. A search of the Ovid MEDLINE database from 1950 through January 2009 was performed using the following search terms: peritoneum, adhesions, cytokine, inflammation, and surgery. RESULTS The peritoneum is a metabolically active organ, responding to insult through a complex array of immunologic and inflammatory cascades. This response increases with the duration and extent of injury and is central to the concept of surgical stress, manifesting via a combination of systemic effects, and local neural pathways via the neuro-immuno-humoral axis. There may be a decreased systemic inflammatory response after minimally invasive surgery; however, it is unclear whether this is due to a reduced local peritoneal reaction. CONCLUSIONS Interventions that dampen the peritoneal response and/or block the neuro-immuno-humoral pathway should be further investigated as possible avenues of enhancing recovery after surgery, and reducing postoperative complications.

Abstract
An interpretation of the metabolic response to injury in patients with severe accidental or surgical trauma is made. In the last century, various authors attributed a meaning to the post-traumatic inflammatory response by using teleological arguments. Their interpretations of this response, not only facilitates integrating the knowledge, but also the flow from the bench to the bedside, which is the main objective of modern translational research. The goal of the current review is to correlate the metabolic changes with the three phenotypes -ischemia-reperfusion, leukocytic and angiogenic- that the patients express during the evolution of the systemic inflammatory response. The sequence in the expression of multiple metabolic systems that becomes progressively more elaborate and complex in severe injured patients urges for more detailed knowledge in order to establish the most adequate metabolic support according to the evolutive phase. Thus, clinicians must employ different treatment strategies based on the different metabolic phases when caring for this challenging patient population. Perhaps, the best therapeutic option would be to favor early hypometabolism during the ischemia-reperfusion phase, to boost the antienzymatic metabolism and to reduce hypermetabolism during the leukocytic phase through the early administration of enteral nutrition and the modulation of the acute phase response. Lastly, the early epithelial regeneration of the injured organs and tissues by means of an oxidative metabolism would reduce the fibrotic sequelae in these severely injured patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated whether nutritional risk scores applied at hospital admission predict mortality and complications after colorectal cancer surgery. METHODS Some 186 patients were studied prospectively. Clinical details, Reilly's Nutrition Risk Score (NRS) and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) score, tumour stage and surgical procedure were recorded. RESULTS The prevalence of patients at nutritional risk was 31.7 per cent according to Reilly's NRS and 39.3 per cent based on the NRS-2002. Such patients had a higher mortality rate than those not at risk according to Reilly's NRS (8 versus 1.6 per cent; P = 0.033), but not the NRS-2002 (7 versus 1.8 per cent; P = 0.085). Based on the NRS-2002, there was a significant difference in postoperative complication rate between patients at nutritional risk and those not at risk (62 versus 39.8 per cent; P = 0.004) but not if Reilly's NRS was used (58 versus 44.1 per cent; P = 0.086). Nutritional risk was identified as an independent predictor of postoperative complications (odds ratio 2.79; P = 0.002). CONCLUSION Nutritional risk screening may be able to predict mortality and morbidity after surgery for colorectal cancer. However, the diverse results reflect either the imprecision of the tests or the small sample size.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to compare the resting energy expenditure (REE) obtained by indirect calorimetry (IC) to the REE calculated by predictive equations (Brandi and Liggett) using the oxygen consumption (VO2) obtained by Fick's method in septic patients. METHODS Prospective study in septic patients admitted in an intensive care unit of a university hospital. Fifteen adult patients (11 men and four women) were studied. VO2 measurements were made using a portable metabolic cart connected to a respirator and a pulmonary artery catheter. RESULTS The APACHE II at admission was 22.6+/-7.2 with a mortality risk of 46.1+/-27.7%. The mean REE obtained by IC and by the Brandi and Liggett equations were 1699+/-271, 1815+/-355 and 1361+/-277 kcal.day-1 respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the two methods, with the two means showing a difference of 8.7%. REE values were close for IC x BRANDI (r=0.80), but the IC x LIGGETT correlation was only 0.58. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that REE can be easily calculated by obtaining VO2 with the Swan-Ganz catheter and using the Brandi equation even for septic patients under mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
In the acute-care setting, it is widely accepted that elderly patients have increased morbidity and mortality compared with young healthy patients. The reasons for this, however, are largely unknown. Although animal modeling has helped improve treatment strategies for young patients, there are a scarce number of studies attempting to understand the mechanisms of systemic insults such as trauma, burn, and sepsis in aged individuals. This review aims to highlight the relevance of using animals to study the pathogenesis of these insults in the aged and, despite the deficiency of information, to summarize what is currently known in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe burn patients are some of the most challenging critically ill patients, with an extreme state of physiologic stress and an overwhelming systemic metabolic response. A major component of severe burn injury is a hypermetabolic state associated with protein losses and a significant reduction of lean body mass. The second prominent component is hyperglycemia. Reversal of the hypermetabolic response by manipulating the patient's physiologic and biochemical environment through the administration of specific nutrients, growth factors, or other agents, often in pharmacologic doses, is emerging as an essential component of the state of the art in severe burn management. The present review aims at summarizing the new treatment modalities established to reduce the catabolic burden of severe burn injuries, for which there is some evidence-based support. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was conducted. Search tools included Elsevier ScienceDirect, EMBASE.com, Medline (OVID), MedlinePlus, and PubMed. Topics searched were Nutrition and Burns, Metabolic Response and Burns, Hypermetabolism and Burns, Hyperglycemia and Burns, and several more specific topics when indicated. With a focus on the most recently published articles, abstracts were reviewed and, when found relevant, were included as references. Full text articles, whenever available, were retrieved. RESULTS Many issues remain unanswered. Unfortunately, the present state of our knowledge does not allow the formulation of clear-cut guidelines. Only general trends can be outlined, and these will certainly have some practical applications but above all will dictate future research in the field.
