Transposon DNA sequences facilitate the tissue-specific gene transfer of circulating tumor DNA between human cells. Nucleic Acids Res 2024:gkae427. [PMID: 38783375 DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkae427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The exchange of genes between cells is known to play an important physiological and pathological role in many organisms. We show that circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) facilitates cell-specific gene transfer between human cancer cells and explain part of the mechanisms behind this phenomenon. As ctDNA migrates into the nucleus, genetic information is transferred. Cell targeting and ctDNA integration require ERVL, SINE or LINE DNA sequences. Chemically manufactured AluSp and MER11C sequences replicated multiple myeloma (MM) ctDNA cell targeting and integration. Additionally, we found that ctDNA may alter the treatment response of MM and pancreatic cancer models. This study shows that retrotransposon DNA sequences promote cancer gene transfer. However, because cell-free DNA has been detected in physiological and other pathological conditions, our findings have a broader impact than just cancer. Furthermore, the discovery that transposon DNA sequences mediate tissue-specific targeting will open up a new avenue for the delivery of genes and therapies.

Abstract
Background Studies have reported that blood transfusion may have an association with survival outcomes of cancer patients. This study was aimed at finding the effect of intra-operative blood transfusion on the prognosis of patients of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods This was a retrospective study. HCC patients who underwent tumor resection from January 2013 to November 2018 at Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital were included. The survival time of patients receiving or not receiving blood transfusion during the operation were compared. Results Of HCC patients, 21.1% (102/484) received intra-operative blood transfusion. After propensity score matching, 87 pairs of patients were included in the study. In the subset of patients with a tumor size of >4 cm, univariable analysis found that there were significant differences in recurrence-free survival (RFS; P=0.004) and overall survival (OS; P=0.028) between blood transfusion and non-blood transfusion groups. After multivariable Cox regression analysis, intra-operative blood transfusion was an independent risk factor for RFS (HR: 2.011, 95% CI: 1.146-3.529, P=0.015), but not for OS (HR: 1.862, 95% CI: 0.933-3.715, P=0.078) in the subset of patients with a tumor size of >4 cm. Conclusion Intra-operative blood transfusion was associated with worse RFS in HCC patients with a tumor size of >4 cm.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e37646. [PMID: 38579099 PMCID: PMC10994588 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000037646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative blood transfusion (PBT) has been associated with worse prognosis in several malignancies. For renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the effect of PBT is still debated. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of PBT on prognosis after nephrectomy in patients with RCC. METHODS This study is A systematic review and meta-analysis of published article data (PRISMA protocol) for literature related to PBT and RCC through extensive search of EMBASE, Medline via PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Library, language limited to English, with no time constraint until May 20, 2022. We pooled the results of multivariable cox regression analyses from each study, with subgroup analyses by dose and timing of transfusion. All analyses were done using Stata14. RESULTS A total of 12 studies involving 27,683 participants were included. Our meta-analysis pooled the results of multivariable cox regression analysis in each study, showing that PBT is associated with higher overall Mortality (OM; hazard ratio [HR] = 1.34, 1.23-1.44), cancer-specific mortality (CSM; HR = 1.35, 1.20-1.51), and disease recurrence (HR = 1.54, 1.18-1.89). when only patients with nonmetastatic RCC were included, PBT was still associated with higher OM (HR = 1.29, 1.11-1.47) and disease recurrence (HR = 1.58, 1.18-1.98), but the association with CSM (HR = 1.26, 0.99-1.52) was not statistically significant. In subgroup analysis by transfusion dose, small (1-2) units of PBT were not associated with CSM (HR = 1.84, 0.95-2.73), but large (≥3) units were associated with higher CSM (HR = 2.98, 1.74-4.22) and disease recurrence (HR = 1.99, 1.31-2.67). Each additional unit of PBT resulted in a higher CSM (HR = 1.07, 1.04-1.10). In subgroup analysis by transfusion timing, intraoperative transfusion was associated with higher CSM and disease recurrence, but postoperative transfusion was not. CONCLUSIONS PBT is associated with higher OM, CSM and disease recurrence. This adverse effect seems to be particularly significant in high-dose intraoperative transfusion. It is necessary to limit the overuse of PBT, especially high-dose intraoperative transfusion, in order to improve the prognosis of patients undergoing nephrectomy for RCC.

Abstract
Anemia is common in cancer patients and impacts on quality of life and prognosis. It is typically multifactorial, often involving different pathophysiological mechanisms, making treatment a difficult task. In patients undergoing active anticancer treatments like chemotherapy, decreased red blood cell (RBC) production due to myelosuppression generally predominates, but absolute or functional iron deficiency frequently coexists. Current treatments for chemotherapy-related anemia include blood transfusions, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, and iron supplementation. Each option has limitations, and there is an urgent need for novel approaches. After decades of relative immobilism, several promising anti-anemic drugs are now entering the clinical scenario. Emerging novel classes of anti-anemic drugs recently introduced or in development for other types of anemia include activin receptor ligand traps, hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors, and hepcidin antagonists. Here, we discuss their possible role in the treatment of anemia observed in patients receiving anticancer therapies.

Stage-by-stage analysis of the effect of blood transfusion on survival after curative hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma-a retrospective study. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2024; 409:83. [PMID: 38436871 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-024-03278-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study is to examine the impact of perioperative (intraoperative/postoperative) blood transfusion on the outcomes of curative hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatectomy is a well-established curative treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma, and blood transfusion cannot always be avoided in treating the disease. METHODS A retrospective study of patients having curative hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma from January 2010 to December 2019 at a single center was conducted. The patients were stratified by their disease stage. Patients with and without perioperative blood transfusion were matched by propensity-score matching and compared for each disease stage. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors for overall survival for each stage. RESULTS A total of 846 patients were studied. Among them, 125 received perioperative blood transfusion and 720 did not. Patients with blood transfusion had worse disease-free and overall survival. After stratification and matching, the ratios of transfusion to non-transfusion were 33:165 (stage 1), 28:140 (stage 2), and 45:90 (stage 3). Perioperative blood transfusion was associated with a higher incidence of postoperative complications in all three disease stages (p = 0.004/0.006/0.017), and hence longer hospitalization (p < 0.001 in all stages), but had no significant impact on hospital mortality (p = 0.119/0.118/0.723), 90-day mortality (p = 0.259/0.118/0.723), disease-free survival (p = 0.128/0.826/0.511), or overall survival (p = 0.869/0.122/0.122) in any disease stage. Prognostic factors for overall survival included tumor size, tumor number, alpha-fetoprotein level, and postoperative complication of grade ≥ 3A. CONCLUSION Perioperative blood transfusion was associated with a higher incidence of complications but had no significant impact on survival after curative hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Impact of Hepatic Pedicle Clamping on Long-Term Survival Following Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Stratified Analysis Based on Intraoperative Blood Transfusion Status. Ann Surg Oncol 2024; 31:1812-1822. [PMID: 38038790 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-023-14642-6] [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: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic pedicle clamping (HPC) is frequently utilized during hepatectomy to reduce intraoperative bleeding and diminish the need for intraoperative blood transfusion (IBT). The long-term prognostic implications of HPC following hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain under debate. This study aims to elucidate the association between HPC and oncologic outcomes after HCC resection, stratified by whether IBT was administered. PATIENTS AND METHODS Prospectively collected data on patients with HCC who underwent curative resection from a multicenter database was studied. Patients were stratified into two cohorts on the basis of whether IBT was administered. The impact of HPC on long-term overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) between the two cohorts was assessed by univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses. RESULTS Of 3362 patients, 535 received IBT. In the IBT cohort, using or not using HPC showed no significant difference in OS and RFS outcomes (5-year OS and RFS rates 27.9% vs. 24.6% and 13.8% vs. 12.0%, P = 0.810 and 0.530). However, in the non-IBT cohort of 2827 patients, the HPC subgroup demonstrated significantly decreased OS (5-year 45.9% vs. 56.5%, P < 0.001) and RFS (5-year 24.7% vs. 33.3%, P < 0.001) when compared with the subgroup without HPC. Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified HPC as an independent risk factor of OS and RFS [hazard ratios (HR) 1.16 and 1.12, P = 0.024 and 0.044, respectively] among patients who did not receive IBT. CONCLUSIONS The impact of HPC on the oncological outcomes following hepatectomy for patients with HCC differed significantly whether IBT was administered, and HPC adversely impacted on long-term survival for patients without receiving IBT during hepatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oncological patients make up a large proportion of all surgical patients. Through its influence on the patient's inflammatory and immune system, the choice of anaesthetic technique has an indirect impact on the health of the individual patient and on public health. Both the specific and the non-specific immune system have a major influence on the recurrence of carcinomas. The pathophysiological basis for growth and metastasis after surgery is the physiological response to stress. Inflammation is the organism's universal response to stress. Anaesthetics and adjuvants influence perioperative inflammation in different ways and have an indirect effect on tumour growth and metastasis. In vitro studies have shown how individual anaesthetics influence the growth and spread of cancer, but clinical studies have not confirmed these results. Nevertheless, it is advisable to use an anaesthetic that has shown lesser effect on the growth of cancer cells in vitro. CONCLUSIONS In this review, we focus on the area of the effects of anaesthesia on tumour growth. The field is still relatively unexplored, there are only few clinical prospective studies and their results are controversial. Based on the review of new research findings we report on recommendations about anaesthetics and anaesthetic techniques that might be preferable for oncological surgical procedures.

Impact of autotransfusion on recurrence of colorectal cancer liver metastasis: Long-term follow-up of patients undergoing curative intent hepatectomy. J Surg Oncol 2024; 129:793-801. [PMID: 38151831 DOI: 10.1002/jso.27569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) occurs in upto 50% of cases and drives patient outcomes. Up-front liver resection is the treatment of choice in resectable cases. There is no consensus yet established as to the safety of intraoperative autotransfusion in liver resection for CRLM. METHODS Patients undergoing curative-intent hepatectomy for CRLM at a single quaternary-care institution from 1999 to 2016 were included. Demographics, surgical variables, Fong Clinical Risk Score (FCRS), use of intraoperative auto and/or allotransfusion, and survival data were analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed accounting for allotransfusion, extent of hepatectomy, FCRS, and systemic treatment regimens. RESULTS Three-hundred sixteen patients were included. The median follow-up was 10.4 years (7.8-14.1 years). The median recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in all patients were 1.6 years (interquartile range: 0.63-6.6 years) and 4.4 years (2.1-8.7), respectively. Before PSM, there was a significantly reduced RFS in the autotransfusion group (0.96 vs. 1.73 years, p = 0.20). There was no difference in OS (4.11 vs. 4.44 years, p = 0.118). Patients in groups of FCRS 0-2 and 3-5 both had reduced RFS when autotransfusion was used (p = 0.005). This reduction in RFS was further found when comparing autotransfusion versus no autotransfusion within the FCRS 0-2 group and within the FCRS 3-5 group (p = 0.027). On Cox-regression analysis, autotransfusion (hazard ratio = 1.423, 1.028-2.182, p = 0.015) remained predictive of RFS. After PSM, there were no differences in FCRS (p = 0.601), preoperative hemoglobin (p = 0.880), allotransfusion (p = 0.130), adjuvant chemotherapy (p = 1.000), immunotherapy (p = 0.172), tumor grade (p = 1.000), use of platinum-based chemotherapy (p = 0.548), or type of hepatic resection (p = 0.967). After matching, there was a higher rate of recurrence with autotransfusion (69.0% vs. 47.6%, p = 0.046). There was also a reduced time to recurrence in the autotransfusion group compared with the group without (p = 0.006). There was no difference in OS after PSM (p = 0.262). CONCLUSION Autotransfusion may adversely affect recurrence in liver resection for CRLM. Until further studies clarify this risk profile, the use of intraoperative autotransfusion should be critically assessed on a case-by-case basis only when other resuscitation options are not available.

Chung JH, Song W, Kang M, Sung HH, Jeon HG, Jeong BC, Jeon SS, Lee HM, Seo SI. Risk factors of recurrence after robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for solitary localized renal cell carcinoma. Sci Rep 2024; 14:4481. [PMID: 38396061 PMCID: PMC10891047 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-51070-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
To evaluate the recurrence rate and risk factors of recurrence after robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for solitary renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A total of 1265 cases of initial solitary localized RCC were analyzed. The baseline characteristics, complexity (REANL nephrometry score), intra- and peri-operative outcomes, and recurrence were evaluated. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the factors affecting recurrence after RAPN for solitary localized RCC. Recurrence after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) occurred in 29 patients (2.29%). The median follow-up was 36.0 months. The N domain (nearness to collecting system/sinus) (odd ratio (OR) 3.517, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.557-7.945, p = 0.002), operation time (OR 1.005, 95% CI 1.001-1.010, p = 0.013), and perioperative transfusion (OR 5.450, 95% CI 1.197-24.816, p = 0.028) affected recurrence. Distant metastasis among patients with recurrence was significantly associated with nearness to the collecting system/sinus (OR 2.982, 95% CI 1.162-7.656, p = 0.023) and distance between the mass and collecting system/sinus (OR 0.758, 95% CI 0.594-0.967, p = 0.026). Nearness to the collecting system/sinus, operation time, and perioperative transfusion affect recurrence after RAPN for solitary localized RCC. Moreover, the proximity to the collecting system/sinus and distance between the mass and collecting system/sinus were significantly related to distant metastasis after RAPN.

Oncological impact of perioperative blood transfusion in bladder cancer patients undergoing radical cystectomy: Do we need to consider storage time of blood units, donor age, or gender matching? Transfusion 2024; 64:29-38. [PMID: 38053445 DOI: 10.1111/trf.17618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The oncological impact of perioperative blood transfusions (PBTs) of patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) because of bladder cancer (BCa) has been a controversial topic discussed in recent years. The main cause for the contradictory findings of existing studies might be the missing consideration of the storage time of red blood cell units (BUs), donor age, and gender matching. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed BCa patients who underwent RC in our department between 2004 and 2021. We excluded patients receiving BUs before RC, >10 BUs, or RC in a palliative setting. We assessed the effect of blood donor characteristics and storage time on overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) through univariate and multivariable Cox regression analysis. We also performed a propensity score matching with patients who received BUs and patients who did not on a 1:1 ratio. RESULTS We screened 1692 patients and included 676 patients for the propensity score matching. In the multivariable analysis, PBT was independently associated with worse OS and CSS (p < .001). Postoperative transfusions were associated with better OS (p = .004) and CSS (p = .008) compared to intraoperative or mixed transfusions. However, there was no influence of blood donor age, storage time, or gender matching on prognosis. DISCUSSION In our study of BCa patients undergoing RC, we demonstrate that PBT, especially if administered intraoperatively, is an independent risk factor for a worse prognosis. However, storage time, donor age, or gender matching did not negatively affect oncological outcomes. Therefore, the specific selection of blood products does not promise any benefits.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to analyze the therapeutic effects and clinical outcomes of HCC patients, who received both RhD and RhE same phenotypic blood transfusion during perioperative period. METHODS Microcolumn gel technology (MGT) was used to detect Rh blood group phenotyping in 98 HCC patients. Patients received RhD and RhE same phenotypic transfusion were defined experimental group, and those received only RhD same phenotypic but RhE different phenotypic transfusion were included in control group. Hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (HCT) before and after perioperative transfusion were analyzed. The occurrence of adverse transfusion reactions were observed. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS After the transfusion treatment, the Hb (118.9 ± 34.8 g/L vs 99.6 ± 26.9 g/L) and HCT [(34.0 ± 7.6)% vs (29.9 ± 8.8)%] of experimental group and the Hb (104.3 ± 36.2 g/L vs 94.8 ± 25.0 g/L) of control group were significantly higher than those before blood transfusion, respectively (all P < .05). In addition, Hb and HCT in experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group after transfusion (P < .05). For the adverse blood transfusion reactions, the incidence of backache was reduced in the patients received Rh same phenotypic transfusion compared with those in control group (1.9% vs 15.2%, P = .024). The overall survival of patients in experimental group was better than that in control group (log-rank P = .036). CONCLUSION Our study indicated that both RhD and RhE same phenotypic transfusion significantly increased Hb and HCT and reduced backache incidence than RhE different phenotypic transfusion in HCC patients. The overall survival of patients was improved by RhD and RhE same phenotypic transfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a leading cause of postoperative mortality after liver surgery. Due to its significant impact, it is imperative to understand the risk stratification and preventative strategies for PHLF. The main objective of this review is to highlight the role of these strategies in a timeline centered way around curative resection. DATA SOURCES This review includes studies on both humans and animals, where they addressed PHLF. A literature search was conducted across the Cochrane Library, Embase, MEDLINE/PubMed, and Web of Knowledge electronic databases for English language studies published between July 1997 and June 2020. Studies presented in other languages were equally considered. The quality of included publications was assessed using Downs and Black's checklist. The results were presented in qualitative summaries owing to the lack of studies qualifying for quantitative analysis. RESULTS This systematic review with 245 studies, provides insight into the current prediction, prevention, diagnosis, and management options for PHLF. This review highlighted that liver volume manipulation is the most frequently studied preventive measure against PHLF in clinical practice, with modest improvement in the treatment strategies over the past decade. CONCLUSIONS Remnant liver volume manipulation is the most consistent preventive measure against PHLF.

BMJ Open 2023; 13:e074649. [PMID: 37945297 PMCID: PMC10649621 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-074649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Iron-deficiency anaemia is common in gynaecological oncology patients. Blood transfusions are immunosuppressive and carry immediate and long-term risks. Oral iron replacement remains the standard of care but requires prolonged treatment courses associated with gastrointestinal side effects, poor compliance and variable absorption in cancer patients. Intravenous iron has been shown to decrease the need for allogeneic blood transfusion in gynaecological oncology patients undergoing chemotherapy, but the efficacy of this treatment in the preoperative period is unknown. The goal of this pilot study is to determine the effect of intravenous ferric derisomaltose on preoperative haemoglobin in patients undergoing surgery for gynaecological malignancy. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will conduct a pilot single-centre, parallel-arm randomised controlled trial of intravenous ferric derisomaltose versus placebo among consenting patients with iron-deficiency anaemia having elective major surgery on the gynaecological oncology service. Patients, clinicians and outcome assessors will be blinded. The intervention consists of a single infusion of 500-1000 mg of intravenous ferric derisomaltose administered a minimum of 21 days prior to the planned operation. The primary outcome is mean preoperative haemoglobin concentration measured 0-3 days prior to surgery in patients receiving intravenous ferric derisomaltose compared with those receiving placebo. Secondary outcomes include the following: change in haemoglobin concentration, postoperative haemoglobin concentration, perioperative blood transfusion rates, patient-reported quality of life scores (Quality of Recovery 15, Modified Short Form 36 v1, EuroQol 5-dimension 5-level and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Anaemia), surgical site infection, complication rates, length of hospital stay and readmission rate. Analyses will follow intention-to-treat principles for all randomised participants. All patients will be followed up to 60 days following surgery. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval has been granted by Health Research Ethics Board of Alberta (Project ID: HREBA.CC-22-0187) and Health Canada (HC6-024-c264013). Results will be disseminated through presentation at scientific conferences, peer-reviewed publication and social and traditional media. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05407987.

Abstract
Background To investigate the efficacy of an alternative negative pressure treatment for the treatment of enteroatmospheric fistula transformed from small intestinal leakage due to incision dehiscence after abdominal surgery. Methods Patients with an enteroatmospheric fistula from small intestinal leakage owing to incision dehiscence following abdominal surgery between January 2010 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Results A total of 83 patients (mean age: 38.3 ± 11.6 years; Body mass index: 19.9 ± 2.2 kg/m2) were enrolled. Of the 83 patients, 59 (71.1 %) achieved fistula closure. High-output fistula (Hazard ratio = 0.48; 95 % Confidence interval: 0.29-0.81; P = 0.006) and abdominal wall thickness >2 cm (Hazard ratio = 2.76; 95 % Confidence interval: 1.35-5.67; P = 0.006) were identified as factors affecting fistula closure. Lastly, 11/83 (13.3 %) patients exhibited re-dehiscence. Conclusion Appropriately applying the alternative negative pressure treatment may enable fistula closure in patients with enteroatmospheric fistula resulting from small intestinal leakage caused by incision dehiscence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is commonly transfused to patients undergoing liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its impacts in this population remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association of perioperative FFP transfusion with short-term and long-term outcomes in these patients. METHODS We retrospectively identified and retrieved clinical data for HCC patients undergoing liver resection between March, 2007 and December, 2016. Study outcomes included postoperative bacterial infection, extended length of stay (LOS) and survival. Propensity score (PS) matching was used to determine the association of FFP transfusion with each outcome. RESULTS A total of 1427 patients were included, and 245 of them received perioperative FFP transfusions (17.2%). Patients received perioperative FFP transfusions were older, underwent liver resection in the earlier time period, and had more extensive resection, poorer clinical conditions, and higher proportions of receiving other blood components. Perioperative FFP transfusion was associated with higher odds of both postoperative bacterial infection (OR = 1.77, p = 0.020) and extended LOS (OR = 1.93, p=<0.001), and the results remained similar after PS-matching. However, perioperative FFP transfusion did not significantly affect survival in these patients (HR = 1.17, p = 0.185). A potential association of postoperative FFP transfusions and poorer 5-year but not overall survival was observed in a subgroup of patients with low postoperative albumin levels after PS-matching. CONCLUSION Perioperative FFP transfusions were associated with poorer short-term postoperative outcomes in HCC patients undergoing liver resection, including postoperative bacterial infection and extended LOS. Reducing perioperative FFP transfusions has the potential to improve their postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
Highlights This meta-analysis and systematic review aim to analyze the association between BT and oncological outcomes of patients undergoing RC for bladder cancer, and tries to find out whether the timing of blood transfusion could also have an effect on this relationship. A total of 20 retrospective studies from online databases and other sources are identified and enrolled in this study. The results show that BT administration during RC operation or perioperative period is significantly associated with worse oncological outcomes including ACM, CSM and DR. Background Bladder cancer is one of the most common urological malignancies. Radical cystectomy (RC) remains the main treatment for localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) or high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). In the process of RC, the administration of blood transfusion (BT) is sometimes needed, however, it may cause transfusion-related complications or lead to worse oncological outcomes. This meta-analysis and systematic review aims to give a comprehensive insight into the association between BT and oncological outcomes of patients undergoing RC, and tries to find out whether the timing of blood transfusion could also have an impact on this association. Methods This systematic review and meta-analysis were carried out according to the PRISMA 2020 reporting guideline. We have searched four bibliographic databases including PubMed (Medline), EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science with no language limitation. Studies investigating the association between BT and oncological outcomes of patients undergoing RC are identified and included in this research from inception through March 20, 2023. This research calculates the pooled hazard ratios (pHR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of all-cause mortality (ACM), cancer-specific mortality (CSM) and disease recurrence (DR) using Random Effects models or Fixed Effects models. Subgroup analyses stratified by parameters such as timing of transfusion are also conducted. This meta-analysis was registered with PROSPERO, CRD42022381656. Results A total of 20 retrospective studies from online databases and other sources are identified and enrolled in this study. Results show that blood transfusion significantly increased the risks for ACM (HR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.23-1.44), CSM (HR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.15 - 1.35) and DR (HR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.15 - 1.38). However, when stratified by the timing of BT, we find that only intraoperative and perioperative transfusion significantly increased in risks for worse prognosis, while postoperative transfusion raised none of the risks of ACM (HR = 1.26, 95% CI: 0.92-1.73), CSM (HR = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.93-1.26) nor DR (HR = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.90-1.29) significantly. Conclusion BT administration during RC operation or perioperative period is significantly associated with worse oncological outcomes including ACM, CSM and DR. Clinicians should consider carefully when deciding to administrate BT to patients undergoing RC and carry out according to current guidelines.

Anesth Pain Med 2023; 13:e136578. [PMID: 38024001 PMCID: PMC10664172 DOI: 10.5812/aapm-136578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), following cytoreductive surgery (CRS), is a lengthy procedure, usually associated with considerable bleeding due to the extensive nature of surgery. Various techniques have been used to decrease blood transfusion requirements. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the possible advantage of a single dose of tranexamic acid (TA) in such surgeries. Methods In this randomized comparative pilot study, 60 patients scheduled to undergo CRS followed by HIPEC were randomly assigned to 2 equal groups: group 1 (TA group) that received 10 mg/kg of TA in 100 mL of 0.9% NaCl over 20 minutes after the induction of anesthesia and before surgical incision, and group 2 (control group) that received a placebo of 100 mL of 0.9% NaCl during the same time interval. The primary endpoint was the blood loss volume. The secondary endpoints were the number of patients requiring transfusion and the occurrence of any postoperative thrombotic events 30 days after surgery. Serum creatinine levels were measured before the operation and on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5. Intraoperative and first 24 hours urine outputs were also recorded. The levels of hemoglobin (Hb) were measured before the operation, immediately after the operation, and 5 days postoperatively. Results Compared to the control group, the TA group exhibited lower intraoperative blood loss, as well as lower blood loss on postoperative day 1 and in total blood loss (P = 0.006, 0.035, and 0.001, respectively). However, the blood loss on the remaining postoperative days was comparable between both groups. Intraoperative blood transfusion requirements were lower in the TA group (P = 0.032) than in the control group. The total number of units of blood and plasma transfused was also lower in the TA group both intra and postoperatively (0.007, 0.40, and 0.032, 0.008, respectively) than in the control group. Hemoglobin levels, serum creatinine levels, and urine outputs during the first 24 hours postoperatively were comparable between the 2 groups. The thromboembolic events within 30 days were also comparable between the 2 groups. Conclusions Administering a single dose of TA between the induction of anesthesia and the surgical incision may reduce blood loss and transfusion rates in CRS followed by HIPEC without causing significant adverse effects. It is a promising approach in surgeries where massive blood loss is expected shortly after anesthesia induction. This can minimize the drawbacks of repeated blood transfusions during and after the operation without causing significant adverse effects. Besides reducing the need for repeated blood transfusions, it would also reduce the costs of blood/blood products and the risks of transfusion.

World J Gastrointest Surg 2023; 15:1363-1374. [PMID: 37555106 PMCID: PMC10405114 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v15.i7.1363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of perioperative blood transfusion (PBT) on the prognosis of ampullary carcinoma (AC) is still debated. AIM To explore the impact of PBT on short-term safety and long-term survival in AC patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS A total of 257 patients with AC who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between 1998 and 2020 in the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, were retrospectively analyzed. We used Cox proportional hazard regression to identify prognostic factors of overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and the Kaplan-Meier method to analyze survival information. RESULTS A total of 144 (56%) of 257 patients received PBT. The PBT group and nonperioperative blood transfusion group showed no significant differences in demographics. Patients who received transfusion had a comparable incidence of postoperative complications with patients who did not. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analyses indicated that transfusion was not an independent predictor of OS or RFS. We performed Kaplan-Meier analysis according to subgroups of T stage, and subgroup analysis indicated that PBT might be associated with worse OS (P < 0.05) but not RFS in AC of stage T1. CONCLUSION We found that PBT might be associated with decreased OS in early AC, but more validation is needed. The reasonable use of transfusion might be helpful to improve OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) is still a prevalent neoplasm around the world and its main treatment modality is surgical resection. The need for perioperative blood transfusions is frequent, and there is a long-lasting debate regarding its impact on survival.
AIM To evaluate the factors related to the risk of receiving red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and its influence on surgical and survival outcomes of patients with GC.
METHODS Patients who underwent curative resection for primary gastric adenocarcinoma at our Institute between 2009 and 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. Clinicopathological and surgical characteristics data were collected. The patients were divided into transfusion and non-transfusion groups for analysis.
RESULTS A total of 718 patients were included, and 189 (26.3%) patients received perioperative RBC transfusion (23 intraoperatively, 133 postoperatively, and 33 in both periods). Patients in the RBC transfusions group were older (P < 0.001), and had more comorbidities (P = 0.014), American Society of Anesthesiologists classification III/IV (P < 0.001), and lower preoperative hemoglobin (P < 0.001) and albumin levels (P < 0.001). Larger tumors (P < 0.001) and advanced tumor node metastasis stage (P < 0.001) were also associated with the RBC transfusion group. The rates of postoperative complications (POC) and 30-d and 90-d mortality were significantly higher in the RBC transfusion group than in the non-transfusion group. Lower hemoglobin and albumin levels, total gastrectomy, open surgery, and the occurrence of POC were factors associated with the RBC transfusion. Survival analysis demonstrated that the RBC transfusions group had worse disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) compared with patients who did not receive transfusion (P < 0.001 for both). In multivariate analysis, RBC transfusion, major POC, pT3/T4 category, pN+, D1 lymphadenectomy, and total gastrectomy were independent risk factors related to worse DFS and OS.
CONCLUSION Perioperative RBC transfusion is associated with worse clinical conditions and more advanced tumors. Further, it is an independent factor related to worse survival in the curative intent gastrectomy setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion is a lifesaving intervention that also has proinflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Adults with a malignancy who receive PRBC transfusion have increased rates of infection, tumor recurrence, and decreased survival. The effect of PRBC transfusion among children with solid tumors is unknown. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of all children who underwent operative resection of a solid tumor malignancy. Data collected included demographic information, location of operation, nadir hemoglobin, and any PRBC transfusion within 30 days of tumor resection. RESULTS Three hundred sixty children underwent tumor resection at our institution between 2002 and 2013; 194 (54%) received a perioperative blood transfusion. After adjusting for stage at diagnosis, tumor location, preoperative chemotherapy and nadir hemoglobin, blood transfusion was associated with a higher rate of postoperative infectious complications, shorter disease-free interval, and a higher rate of tumor recurrence. Each additional transfused unit increased the risk of postoperative infection (odds ratio 3.83; 95% confidence interval 1.21, 14.22, P =0.031). CONCLUSIONS Among children with solid tumor malignancies, PRBC transfusion within 30 days of operation is associated with higher rates of postoperative infection. If transfusion becomes necessary, single unit increments should be transfused. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cardiac surgical procedures are associated with a high incidence of periprocedural blood loss and blood transfusion. Although both may be associated with a range of postoperative complications there is disagreement on the impact of blood transfusion on long-term mortality. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the published outcomes of perioperative blood transfusion, examined as a whole and by index procedure. METHODS A systematic review of perioperative blood transfusion cardiac surgical patients was conducted. Outcomes related to blood transfusion were analysed in a meta-analysis and aggregate survival data were derived to examine long-term survival. RESULTS Thirty-nine studies with 180,074 patients were identified, the majority (61.2%) undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Perioperative blood transfusions were noted in 42.2% of patients and was associated with significantly higher early mortality (OR 3.87, p < 0.001). After a median of 6.4 years (range 1-15), mortality remained significantly higher for those who received a perioperative transfusion (OR 2.01, p < 0.001). Pooled hazard ratio for long-term mortality similar for patients who underwent coronary surgery compared to isolated valve surgery. Differences in long-term mortality for all comers remained true when corrected for early mortality and when only including propensity matched studies. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative red blood transfusion appears to be associated with a significant reduction in long-term survival for patients after cardiac surgery. Strategies such as preoperative optimisation, intraoperative blood conservation, judicious use of postoperative transfusions, and professional development into minimally invasive techniques should be utilised where appropriate to minimise the need for perioperative transfusions.

Abstract
Patient blood management (PBM) is a systematic, evidence-based approach to improve patient outcomes by managing and preserving a patient's own blood and minimizing allogenic transfusion need and risk. According to the PBM approach, the goals of perioperative anemia management include early diagnosis, targeted treatment, blood conservation, restrictive transfusion except in cases of acute and massive hemorrhage, and ongoing quality assurance and research efforts to advance overall blood health.

Abstract
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common extraintestinal symptom in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Inflammation associated with malignancy leads to functional iron deficiency via the hepcidin pathway, whereas chronic blood loss causes absolute iron deficiency and depletion of iron stores. The assessment and treatment of preoperative anemia is of great importance in patients with CRC, since published data have consistently shown that preoperative anemia is associated with increased need for perioperative blood transfusions and more postoperative complications. Recent studies have documented mixed results regarding the preoperative intravenous iron administration in anemic CRC patients in terms of efficacy for anemia correction, cost-effectiveness, need for transfusions and risk for postoperative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) has oncologic superiority compared to a standard distal pancreatectomy (DP). For tumors invading into the adrenal gland, a posterior RAMPS takes the left adrenal gland en bloc with the pancreas specimen. The aim of this analysis is to determine whether addition of adrenalectomy alters the outcomes of DP. METHODS The American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) Procedure-Targeted Pancreatectomy database was accessed from 2014 to 2019. Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) undergoing posterior RAMPS were compared to patients having a standard DP. 30-day outcomes were analyzed using multivariable regression. RESULTS 3467 PDAC patients underwent DP; 159 (4.6%) also had an adrenalectomy. Posterior RAMPS patients had higher T stage (T3-4 77% vs. 58%, p < 0.01). On multivariable analysis, posterior RAMPS patients had worse perioperative outcomes including more transfusions (OR 2.78, p < 0.01), serious morbidity (OR 1.45, p = 0.04), prolonged hospital stay (OR 1.36, p < 0.05), and less optimal pancreatic surgery (OR 0.61, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy with adrenalectomy (posterior RAMPS) is associated with worse perioperative outcomes compared to a standard distal pancreatectomy. Improved oncologic outcomes must be weighed against higher perioperative morbidity when selecting patients for this more extensive surgical resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The importance of patient blood management is increasingly recognized in surgery patients. This study aimed to examine the effect of perioperative restrictive blood transfusion on 1-year mortality and blood transfusion rate in open abdominal surgery. METHODS We retrospectively studied 452 consecutive patients who underwent open abdominal surgery before (liberal group: 233 patients) and after (restrictive group: 219 patients) implementing intraoperative restrictive transfusion of red blood cell. The trigger levels of hemoglobin were less than 9-10 g/dL in the liberal group and less than 7-8 g/dL in the restrictive group. All-cause mortality at 1-year as the primary outcome and the transfusion rate of any allogeneic blood products as secondary outcome were compared between the liberal group and the restrictive group by the propensity-score matching. RESULTS Among a total of 452 patients (69 ± 11 yr., 70.5 % men), overall mortality at 1 year was 8.4 % and the proportion of patients who received any allogeneic blood products was 19.6 %. Compared with 155 propensity-score matched patients of the liberal group, 155 matched patients of the restrictive group had significantly lower 1-year mortality (4 [2.5 %] versus 18 [11.6 %], p = 0.003, percent absolute risk reduction [%ARR]; 9.0, 95 % confidential interval [CI], 3.1-14.7) and had significantly lower proportion of patients who received any allogeneic blood products (21 [13.5 %] versus 41 [26.4 %], p = 0.006, %ARR; 12.9, 95 % CI, 3.9-21.5). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicate that intraoperative restrictive blood transfusion reduces 1-year mortality and the transfusion rate of allogeneic blood products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatectomy, the most common treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma, is associated with greater intraoperative blood loss than is resection of other malignancies. The effect of blood product transfusion (red blood cell [RBC], platelet, fresh frozen plasma [FFP], 5 and 25% albumin) on prognosis remains unclear. This study examined effects of blood product transfusion on prognoses of patients who underwent hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS We included 2015 patients with pathologically confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent hepatectomy at our institution during 1990-2019. Patients (n = 534) who underwent repeat hepatectomy, non-curative hepatectomy, those with synchronous cancer in other organs, those who died within 1 month of surgery, and those with missing data were excluded. Finally, 1481 patients (1142 males, 339 females; median age: 68 years) with curability A or B were included. RESULTS Intraoperative blood loss (> 500 mL) was an independent predictor of RBC transfusion (odds ratio, 8.482; P < 0.001). All transfusion groups had poorer recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) than non-transfusion groups. After propensity score matching, the 5 year RFS rate was 13.4 and 16.3% in the RBC and no-RBC groups, respectively (P = 0.020). The RBC group had a significantly lower 5 year OS rate than the no-RBC group (42.1 vs. 48.8%, respectively; P = 0.035) and the FFP group (57.0%) than the no-FFP group (63.9%) (p = 0.047). No significant between-subgroup differences were found for other blood transfusion types. CONCLUSIONS RBC transfusion promotes hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence and RBC/FFP transfusions reduced long-term survival and RFS and OS in patients who underwent radical liver resection of HCC.

Abstract
Background The short-term and long-term effects of perioperative blood transfusion (PBT) on patients with gastric cancer are still intriguing. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effects of blood transfusion on clinical outcomes in patients with gastric cancer undergoing gastrectomy. Methods We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and The Cochrane Library on December 31th 2021. The main outcomes were overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), disease-specific survival (DFS), and postoperative complications. A fixed or random-effects model was used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results Fifty-one studies with a total of 41,864 patients were included for this review and meta-analysis. Compared with patients who did not receive blood transfusions (NPBT), PBT was associated with worse 5-year OS (HR = 2.39 [95%CI: 2.00, 2.84]; p < 0.001; Multivariate HR = 1.43 [95%CI: 1.24, 1.63]; p < 0. 001), worse 5-year DFS (HR = 2.26 [95%CI: 1.68, 3.05]; p < 0.001; Multivariate HR = 1.45 [95%CI: 1.16, 1.82]; p < 0. 001), and worse 5-year DSS (HR = 2. 23 [95%CI: 1.35, 3.70]; p < 0.001; Multivariate HR = 1.24 [95%CI: 0.96, 1.60]; p < 0.001). Moreover, The PBT group showed a higher incidence of postoperative complications [OR = 2.30 (95%CI:1.78, 2. 97); p < 0.001] than that in the NPBT group, especially grade III-V complications, according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. [OR = 2.50 (95%CI:1.71, 3.63); p < 0.001]. Conclusion In patients who underwent gastrectomy, PBT was associated with negative survival effects (OS, DFS, DSS) and a higher incidence of perioperative complications. However, more research was expected to further explore the impact of PBT. Meanwhile, strict blood transfusion management should be implemented to minimize the use of PBT.

Abstract
Background The effect of perioperative blood transfusion (PBT) on postoperative survival in RCC patients who underwent partial nephrectomy (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN) remains controversial. Two meta-analyses in 2018 and 2019 reported the postoperative mortality of PBT patients with RCC, but they did not investigate the effect on the survival of patients. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant literature to demonstrate whether PBT affected postoperative survival in RCC patients who received nephrectomy. Methods Pubmed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched. Studies comparing RCC patients with or without PBT following either RN or PN were included in this analysis. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of the included literature, and hazard ratios (HRs) of overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS), as well as 95% confidence intervals, were considered as effect sizes. All data were processed using Stata 15.1. Results Ten retrospective studies involving 19,240 patients were included in this analysis, with the publication dates ranging from 2014 to 2022. Evidence revealed that PBT was significantly associated with the decline of OS (HR, 2.62; 95%CI: 1,98-3.46), RFS (HR, 2.55; 95%CI: 1.74-3.75), and CSS (HR, 3.15; 95%CI: 2.3-4.31) values. There was high heterogeneity among the study results due to the retrospective nature and the low quality of the included studies. Subgroup analysis findings suggested that the heterogeneity of this study might be caused by different tumor stages in the included articles. Evidence implied that PBT had no significant influence on RFS and CSS with or without robotic assistance, but it was still linked to worse OS (combined HR; 2.54 95% CI: 1.18, 5.47). Furthermore, the subgroup analysis with intraoperative blood loss lower than 800 ML revealed that PBT had no substantial impact on OS and CSS of postoperative RCC patients, whereas it was correlated with poor RFS (1.42, 95% CI: 1.02-1.97). Conclusions RCC patients undergoing PBT after nephrectomy had poorer survival. Systematic Review Registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42022363106.

Preoperative Anemia and Risk of In-hospital Postoperative Complications in Patients with Hip Fracture. Clin Interv Aging 2023; 18:639-653. [PMID: 37096216 PMCID: PMC10122467 DOI: 10.2147/cia.s404211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the impact of preoperative anemia on postoperative complications after hip fracture surgery. Patients and Methods We conducted a retrospective study including hip fracture patients at a teaching hospital between 2005 and 2022. We defined preoperative anemia as the last hemoglobin measurement level before surgery < 130 g/L for men and < 120 g/L for women. The primary outcome was a composite of in-hospital major complications, including pneumonia, respiratory failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, urinary tract infection, incision infection, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, angina pectoris, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and death. Secondary outcomes were cardiovascular events, infection, pneumonia, and death. We used multivariate negative binomial or logistic regression to evaluate the impact of anemia and its severity, categorized as mild (90-130 g/L for men, 90-120 g/L for women) or moderate-to-severe (< 90 g/L for both) anemia on outcomes. Results Of the 3540 included patients, 1960 had preoperative anemia. 188 anemic patients experienced 324 major complications, while 63 non-anemic patients had 94 major complications. The risk of major complications was 165.3 (95% CI, 149.5-182.4) and 59.5 (95% CI, 48.9-72.3) per 1000 persons in anemic and non-anemic patients, respectively. Anemic patients were more likely to have major complications than non-anemic patients (adjusted incidence rate ratio (aIRR), 1.87; 95% CI, 1.30-2.72), which was consistent in mild (aIRR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.22-2.59) and moderate-to-severe (aIRR, 2.97; 95% CI, 1.65-5.38) anemia. Preoperative anemia also increased the risk of cardiovascular events (aIRR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.29-3.01), infection (aIRR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.01-2.86), pneumonia (adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 1.91; 95% CI, 1.06-3.57), and death (aOR, 3.17; 95% CI, 1.06-11.89). Conclusion Our findings suggest that even mild preoperative anemia is associated with major postoperative complications in hip fracture patients. This finding highlights considering preoperative anemia as a risk factor in surgical decision-making for high-risk patients.

Viscoelastic versus conventional coagulation tests to reduce blood product transfusion in patients undergoing liver transplantation: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Anaesthesiol 2023; 40:39-53. [PMID: 36412263 DOI: 10.1097/eja.0000000000001780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent literature suggests viscoelastic test (VET)-guided transfusion management could be associated with reduced blood product administration in patients undergoing liver transplantation. OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness of coagulation management guided by VETs compared with conventional coagulation tests (CCTs) in reducing blood product transfusion in patients undergoing liver transplantation. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised (RCTs) and nonrandomised clinical trials performed according to PRISMA guidelines. The protocol was previously published (PROSPERO: CRD42021230213). DATA SOURCES The Cochrane Central Library, PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase and the Transfusion Evidence Library were searched up to 30 th January 2022. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Setting: operating room. Patients: liver transplantation recipients. Intervention: use of VETs versus CCTs. Main outcome measures: the primary outcome was the mean number of transfused units for each blood product including red blood cells (RBCs), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), platelets (PLTs) and cryoprecipitate. Secondary outcomes included mortality rate, intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital length of stay (LOS). RESULTS Seventeen studies ( n = 5345 patients), 15 observational and two RCTs, were included in this review. There was a mean difference reduction in RBCs [mean difference: -1.40, 95% confidence interval (95% CI), -1.87 to -0.92; P < 0.001, I2 = 61%) and FFP units (mean difference: -2.98, 95% CI, -4.61 to -1.35; P = < 0.001; I2 = 98%) transfused in the VETs group compared with the CCTs one. A greater amount of cryoprecipitate was administered in the VETs group (mean difference: 2.71, 95% CI, 0.84 to 4.58; P = 0.005; I2 = 91%). There was no significant difference in the mean number of PLT units, mortality, hospital and ICU-LOS. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis demonstrated that VETs implementation was associated with reduced RBC and FFP consumption in liver transplantation patients without effects on mortality and hospital and ICU-LOS. The certainty of evidence ranged from moderate to very low. Further well conducted RCTs are needed to improve the certainty of evidence.

Effect of Perioperative Blood Transfusions and Infectious Complications on Inflammatory Activation and Long-Term Survival Following Gastric Cancer Resection. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 15:cancers15010144. [PMID: 36612141 PMCID: PMC9818188 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15010144] [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: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of perioperative blood transfusion and infectious complications on postoperative changes of inflammatory markers, as well as on disease-free survival (DFS) in patients undergoing curative gastric cancer resection. Methods: Multicenter cohort study in all patients undergoing gastric cancer resection with curative intent. Patients were classified into four groups based on their perioperative course: one, no blood transfusion and no infectious complication; two, blood transfusion; three, infectious complication; four, both transfusion and infectious complication. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was determined at diagnosis, immediately before surgery, and 10 days after surgery. A multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the relationship of perioperative group and dynamic changes of NLR with disease-free survival. Results: 282 patients were included, 181 in group one, 23 in group two, 55 in group three, and 23 in group four. Postoperative NLR changes showed progressive increase in the four groups. Univariate analysis showed that NLR change > 2.6 had a significant association with DFS (HR 1.55; 95% CI 1.06−2.26; p = 0.025), which was maintained in multivariate analysis (HR 1.67; 95% CI 1.14−2.46; p = 0.009). Perioperative classification was an independent predictor of DFS, with a progressive difference from group one: group two, HR 0.80 (95% CI: 0.40−1.61; p = 0.540); group three, HR 1.42 (95% CI: 0.88−2.30; p = 0.148), group four, HR 2.85 (95% CI: 1.64−4.95; p = 0.046). Conclusions: Combination of perioperative blood transfusion and infectious complications following gastric cancer surgery was related to greater NLR increase and poorer DFS. These findings suggest that perioperative blood transfusion and infectious complications may have a synergic effect creating a pro-inflammatory activation that favors tumor recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between perioperative blood transfusion and cancer prognosis in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) receiving surgery remains controversial. METHODS We designed a retrospective observational study of patients with HNC undergoing tumor resection surgery from 2014 to 2017 and followed them up until June 2020. An inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was applied to balance baseline patient characteristics in the exposed and unexposed groups. COX regression was used for the evaluation of tumor recurrence and overall survival. RESULTS A total of 683 patients were included; 192 of them (28.1%) received perioperative packed RBC transfusion. Perioperative blood transfusion was significantly associated with HNC recurrence (IPTW adjusted HR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.1-1.7, p = 0.006) and all-cause mortality (IPTW adjusted HR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.07-1.74, p = 0.011). Otherwise, there was an increased association with cancer recurrence in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION Perioperative transfusion was associated with cancer recurrence and mortality after HNC tumor surgery.

[PMID: 36337695 PMCID: PMC9634074 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2022.1034041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and objective Postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PND) occurs in up to 54% of older patients, giving rise to the heavy psychological and economic burdens to patients and society. To date, the development of PND biomarkers remains a challenge. Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1 (hnRNPA2/B1) is an RNA-binding protein whose prion-like structure is prone to mutation and hence leads to neurodegenerative diseases, but its expression changes in PND remains unclear. Here, we detect the preoperative hnRNPA2/B1 level in patients with PND, and to explore its value in the prediction and diagnosis of PND. Methods The study included 161 elderly patients undergoing lumbar decompression and fusion in Nankai University Affinity the Third Central Hospital from September 2021 to July 2022. Neuropsychological and psychometric evaluations were performed before surgery, 1 week and 3 months after surgery to diagnose the occurrence of PND, then the peripheral blood was collected from patients before induction of anesthesia. The concentration in plasma of hnRNPA2/B1 and amyloid-β 42 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The median fluorescence intensity and mRNA levels of hnRNPA2/B1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was detected by indirect intracellular staining flow cytometry and quantitative real-time PCR, respectively. Results The preoperative hnRNPA2/B1 level in patients with PND was higher both in short-time and long-time follow-up. We found significantly higher concentrations of hnRNPA2/B1 in PND at 7 days after surgery (median, 72.26 pg/mL vs. 54.95 pg/mL, p = 0.022) compared with patients without PND, and so as 3 months after surgery (median, 102.93 pg/mL vs. 56.38 pg/mL, p = 0.012). The area under the curve (AUC) was predicted to be 0.686 at 7 days after surgery and 0.735 at 3 months. In addition, when combining several clinical information, the diagnostic efficiency of hnRNPA2/B1 for PND could further increase (AUC, 0.707 at 7 days, 0.808 at 3 months). Conclusion Based on the findings reported here, hnRNPA2/B1 may serve as a new and powerful predictive biomarker to identify elderly patients with PND.

Impact of perioperative red blood cell transfusion, anemia of cancer and global health status on the prognosis of elderly patients with endometrial and ovarian cancer. Front Oncol 2022; 12:967421. [PMID: 36185177 PMCID: PMC9524224 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.967421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusions have been associated with increased morbidity and worse oncological outcome in some solid neoplasms. In order to elucidate whether RBC transfusions themselves, the preoperative anemia of cancer (AOC), or the impaired global health status might explain this impact on patients with endometrial cancer (EC) or ovarian cancer (OC), we performed a retrospective, single-institution cohort study. Materials and methods Women older than 60 years with EC or OC were included. The influence of RBC transfusions, AOC, and frailty status determined by the G8 geriatric screening tool (G8 score), as well as the clinical-pathological cancer characteristics on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), was determined by using the Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox regression analyses. Results In total, 263 patients with EC (n = 152) and OC (n = 111) were included in the study. Patients with EC receiving RBC transfusions were faced with a significantly shorter 5-year PFS (79.8% vs. 26.0%; p < 0.001) and 5-year OS (82.6% vs. 25.7%; p < 0.001). In multivariable analyses, besides established clinical-pathological cancer characteristics, the RBC transfusions remained the only significant prognostic parameter for PFS (HR: 1.76; 95%-CI [1.01–3.07]) and OS (HR: 2.38; 95%-CI [1.50–3.78]). In OC, the G8 score stratified the cohort in terms of PFS rates (G8-non-frail 53.4% vs. G8-frail 16.7%; p = 0.010) and AOC stratified the cohort for 5-year OS estimates (non-anemic: 36.7% vs. anemic: 10.6%; p = 0.008). Multivariable Cox regression analyses determined the G8 score and FIGO stage as independent prognostic factors in terms of PFS (HR: 2.23; 95%-CI [1.16–4.32] and HR: 6.52; 95%-CI [1.51–28.07], respectively). For OS, only the TNM tumor stage retained independent significance (HR: 3.75; 95%-CI [1.87–7.53]). Discussion The results of this trial demonstrate the negative impact of RBC transfusions on the prognosis of patients with EC. Contrastingly, the prognosis of OC is altered by the preoperative global health status rather than AOC or RBC transfusions. In summary, we suggested a cumulatively restrictive transfusion management in G8-non-frail EC patients and postulated a more moderate transfusion management based on the treatment of symptomatic anemia without survival deficits in OC patients.

Abstract
Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions have been shown to exert immunosuppressive effects in different diseases. In consequence, RBC transfusions might also negatively influence the response to immunotherapeutic treatment approaches. To address how RBC transfusions impact response rates of antitumor immunotherapy (IT), we conducted a retrolective clinical study of patients with different solid tumors treated with IT (atezolizumab, pembrolizumab, nivolumab and/or ipilimumab). We assessed the number of RBC concentrates received within 30 days before and 60 days after the start of IT. Primary objective was the initial therapy response at first staging, secondary objectives the number of immune related adverse events and infections. 15 of 55 included patients (27.3%) received RBC concentrates. The response rates were 77.5% in the non-transfused (n=40) versus 46.7% in the transfused patient group (n=15) and reached statistical significance (p=0.047). The correlation between therapy response and transfusion was statistically significant (p=0.026) after adjustment for the only identified confounder “line of therapy”. In contrast, transfusion in the interval 30 days before IT showed no significant difference for treatment response (p=0.705). Moreover, no correlation was detected between RBC transfusion and irAE rate (p=0.149) or infection rate (p=0.135). In conclusion, we show for the first time that the administration of RBC transfusions during, but not before initiation of IT treatment, negatively influences the response rates to IT. Our findings suggest a restrictive transfusion management in patients undergoing IT to receive optimal response rates.

Factors Associated with Rebound Pain After Patient-controlled Epidural Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery: A Retrospective Study. Clin J Pain 2022; 38:632-639.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) is an effective form of regional analgesia for abdominal surgery, some patients experience significant rebound pain after the discontinuation of PCEA. However, risk factors for rebound pain associated with PCEA in major abdominal surgery remain unknown. This study evaluated the incidence of rebound pain related to PCEA and explored potential associated risk factors. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 236 patients using PCEA following hepatobiliary and pancreas surgery between 2018 and 2020 in a tertiary hospital in South Korea. Rebound pain was defined as an increase from well-controlled pain (numeric rating scale <4) during epidural analgesia to severe pain (numeric rating scale ≥7) within 24 hours of discontinuation of PCEA. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with rebound pain. RESULTS A total of 236 patients were included in this study. Patients were categorized into the non-rebound pain group (170 patients; 72%) and the rebound pain group (66 patients; 28%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) below 45 (odds ratio [OR]=2.080, 95% confidential interval [CI]=1.061-4.079, P=0.033) and intraoperative transfusion (OR=4.190, 95% CI=1.436-12.226, P=0.009) were independently associated with rebound pain after PCEA discontinuation. DISCUSSION Rebound pain after PCEA occurred in approximately 30% of patients who underwent major abdominal surgery, resulting in insufficient postoperative pain management. Preoperative low PNI and intraoperative transfusion may be associated with rebound pain after PCEA discontinuation.

Abstract
Tumour hypoxia is the inevitable consequence of a tumour's rapid growth and disorganized, inefficient vasculature. The compensatory mechanisms employed by tumours, and indeed the absence of oxygen itself, hinder the ability of all treatment modalities. The clinical consequence is poorer overall survival, disease-free survival, and locoregional control. Recognizing this, clinicians have been attenuating the effect of hypoxia, primarily with hypoxic modification or with hypoxia-activated pro-drugs, and notable success has been demonstrated. However, in the case of colorectal cancer (CRC), there is a general paucity of knowledge and evidence surrounding the measurement and modification of hypoxia, and this is possibly due to the comparative inaccessibility of such tumours. We specifically review the role of hypoxia in CRC and focus on the current evidence for the existence of hypoxia in CRC, the majority of which originates from indirect positron emission topography imaging with hypoxia selective radiotracers; the evidence correlating CRC hypoxia with poorer oncological outcome, which is largely based on the measurement of hypoxia inducible factor in correlation with clinical outcome; the evidence of hypoxic modification in CRC, of which no direct evidence exists, but is reflected in a number of indirect markers; the prognostic and monitoring implications of accurate CRC hypoxia quantification and its potential in the field of precision oncology; and the present and future imaging tools and technologies being developed for the measurement of CRC hypoxia, including the use of blood-oxygen-level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The management of patients with extensive appendiceal mucinous neoplasms and mesothelioma is controversial. Our aims were to analyze overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and independent prognostic factors associated with high peritoneal cancer index (PCI) status in patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (PIC). METHODS A prospectively-maintained database for patients with appendiceal neoplasms and mesothelioma undergoing CRS/PIC from year 1996 to 2018 was retrospectively analyzed. Patients who achieved complete cytoreduction were stratified into limited (PCI < 30) and extensive (PCI ≥ 30) disease groups. RESULTS 260 female and 235 male patients were identified. The 5-year survival for low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMN) was significantly higher in the low PCI group (96.2% vs. 63.5%, p < 0.001). There was no difference in the OS across both groups in high-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (HAMN) (63 vs. 69 months; p = 0.942) and mesothelioma (72 vs. 42 months; p = 0.058). Overall mortality was 2%. Grade III/IV complications were significantly higher in extensive disease (68% vs. 36.6%, p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, use of EPIC and blood transfusion (>8 units) were independent positive and negative prognostic factors, respectively, associated with OS. Meanwhile, use of EPIC conferred benefit in DFS while increased blood transfusion (>8 units) and elevated preoperative CA125 were predictive of a poor DFS. CONCLUSION Long-term survivals following CRS/PIC are achievable with acceptable mortality and higher morbidity rates in extensive appendiceal mucinous neoplasms and mesothelioma. High PCI status does not preclude treatment with CRS/PIC.

Abstract
Background Perioperative anemia and transfusion are intertwined with each other, and both have adverse impacts on the survival of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. But the treatment of anemia still relies on transfusion in several countries, which leads us to question the effects of anemia tolerance and transfusion on the long-term outcomes of CRC patients. We investigated the combined effect of preoperative anemia and postoperative anemia and of preoperative anemia and blood transfusion, which imposes a greater risk to survival, to compare the effects of anemia tolerance and transfusion on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients undergoing CRC surgery. Methods A retrospective propensity-score-matched analysis included patients with CRC undergoing elective surgery between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2014. After propensity-score matching, Kaplan–Meier survival analysis and univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to study the prognostic factors for survivals. In univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, two novel models were built. Results Of the 8,121 patients with CRC, 1,975 (24.3%) and 6,146 (75.7%) patients presented with and without preoperative anemia, respectively. After matching, 1,690 patients remained in each group. In the preoperative anemia and postoperative anemia model, preoperative anemia and postoperative anemia was independent risk factor for OS (HR, 1.202; 95% CI, 1.043–1.385; P=0.011) and DFS (HR, 1.210; 95% CI, 1.050–1.395; P=0.008). In the preoperative anemia and transfusion model, preoperative anemia and transfused was the most dangerous independent prognostic factor for OS (HR, 1.791; 95% CI, 1.339–2.397; P<0.001) and DFS (HR, 1.857; 95% CI, 1.389–2.483; P<0.001). In patients with preoperative anemia, the OS and DFS of patients with transfusion were worse than those of patients without transfusion (P=0.026 in OS; P=0.037 in DFS). Conclusions Preoperative anemia and blood transfusion imposed a greater risk to OS and DFS in patients undergoing CRC surgery, indicating that the harm associated with blood transfusion was greater than that associated with postoperative anemia. These findings should encourage clinicians to be vigilant for the timely prevention and treatment of anemia, by appropriately promoting toleration of anemia and restricting the use of blood transfusion in patients with CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation and immune deficiency predispose surgical patients to infection and adversely affect postoperative recovery. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic ability of inflammation and immune-nutritional markers and to develop a predictive model for high-grade complications after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS This study enrolled 1431 patients undergoing liver resection for primary HCC at a medical center. Preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, prognostic nutritional index, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score, Albumin-Bilirubin score, Fibrosis-4 score, and Aspartate Aminotransferase to Platelet Ratio Index score were assessed. Stepwise backward variable elimination was conducted to determine the factors associated with Clavien-Dindo grade III to V complications within 30-day postoperative period. The predictive model was internally validated for discrimination performance using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS A total of 106 (7.4%) patients developed high-grade complications. Four factors independently predicted a high-grade postoperative complication and were integrated into the predictive model, including NLR (adjusted odds ratio: 1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.19), diabetes mellitus, extent of hepatectomy, and intraoperative blood loss. The AUC of the model was 0.755 (95% CI, 0.678-0.832) in the validation dataset. Using the cutoff value based on Youden's index, the sensitivity and specificity of the risk score were 59.0% and 76.3%, respectively. CONCLUSION Preoperative NLR independently predicted a high-grade complication after resection of HCC. The predictive model allows for identification of high-risk patients and appropriate modifications of perioperative care to improve postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
BackgroundThere is no consensus on the effect of red blood cell transfusion on colorectal cancer (CRC). This study examined the impact of perioperative red blood cell transfusion on postoperative complications, recurrence, and mortality in patients with CRC.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, 219 CRC patients admitted to Chongqing Emergency Medical Center, and Chongqing University Central Hospital from 2008 to 2019 were divided into transfusion (n = 75) and non-transfusion (n = 144) groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the effects of blood transfusion on the severity of postoperative complications in patients with CRC, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression was performed to analyze the effects of blood transfusion on postoperative death and recurrence.ResultsTwenty-two (29.33%) patients in the transfusion group were intermediate or advanced severity of postoperative complications, 31 (41.33%) patients died in the transfusion group, and 55 (73.33%) patients occurred recurrence of the CRC, with the median follow-up time being 24.57(14.50,36.37) months. Our result showed that perioperative red blood cell transfusion was associated with an increased risk of intermediate or advanced severity of postoperative complications in CRC patients [odds ratio (OR) = 3.368, 95% CI, 1.146–9.901]. And perioperative red blood cell transfusion increased the risk of postoperative death [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.747, 95% CI, 1.048–7.205] and recurrence in patients with CRC (HR = 2.168, 95% CI, 1.192–3.943).ConclusionOur finding demonstrated that perioperative red blood cell transfusion was associated with severity of complications, recurrence, and death in CRC patients. However, further studies are still needed to confirm the adverse effects of red blood cell transfusions in CRC patients.

Abstract
While surgical resection is the gold standard treatment for solid tumors, cancer recurrence after surgery is common. Immunosurveillance of remnant tumor cells is an important protective mechanism. Therefore, maintenance of anti-tumor cell activity and proper levels of inflammatory mediators is crucial. An increasing body of evidence suggests that surgery itself and perioperative interventions could affect these pathophysiological responses. Various factors, such as the extent of tissue injury, perioperative medications such as anesthetics and analgesics, and perioperative management including transfusions and methods of mechanical ventilation, modulate the inflammatory response in lung cancer surgery. This narrative review summarizes the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in cancer recurrence after surgery and perioperative management related to cancer recurrence after lung cancer surgery.

Abstract
Perioperative blood transfusion in colorectal and some other cancer patients has been linked to the increased risk for recurrence, but a causal mechanism remains unclear. During the preparation and storage of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) bio-active substances accumulate in the acellular fraction (supernatant). Viability, proliferation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and DNA damage of colon (LoVo) and breast (MCF7) adenocarcinoma cells and non-tumorigenic MCF-10A cell line were determined in response to the supernatants of fresh and long-stored (day 42) PRBCs, leukoreduced (LR) or non-leukoreduced (NLR). The effect of supernatants on the cytotoxicity of cisplatin (cisPt) towards the cells was also examined. Supernatants, especially from a day 1 PRBCs, both LR and NLR, reduced the viability and inhibited proliferation of tumor cells (LoVo, MCF7), accompanying by the excessive ROS production, but these were not the case in MCF-10A. Moreover, supernatants had no effect on the cytotoxicity of cisPt against LoVo and MCF7 cells, while caused increased drug resistance in MCF-10A cells. The findings suggest the acellular fraction of PRBCs does not exhibit any pro-proliferative activity in the cancer cell lines studied. However, these are pioneering issues and require further research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe burn can be accompanied by life-threatening bleeding on some occasions, thus, blood transfusion is often required in these patients during their hospitalization. Therefore, we aimed to examine temporal trends, predictors, and in-hospital outcomes of blood transfusion in these patients in the United States. METHODS The National Inpatient Sample was used to identify severe burn patients between January 2010 and September 2017 in the United States. Trends in the utilization of blood transfusion were analyzed using the Cochran-Armitage trend test. Moreover, propensity score matching (PSM) was employed, and then in-hospital outcomes were compared between these two groups in the matched cohort. Multivariable logistic regressions were further used to validate the results of PSM. RESULTS Among 27,260 severe burn patients identified during the study period, 2120 patients (7.18%) received blood transfusion. Blood transfusion rates decreased significantly from 9.52% in 2010 to 5.02% in 2017 (p for trend <.001). In the propensity-matched cohort (2120 pairs with and without transfusion), patients transfused were at increased risk of in-hospital mortality (13.3% vs 8.77%, p < .001), overall postoperative complications (88.3% vs 72.59%, p < .001), longer hospital stays (defined as > median hospital stays = 5 d) (73.8% vs 50.6%, p < .001) and increased overall cost (defined as > median overall costs = 30,746) (81.6% vs 57.3%, p < .001). This was also the case for the multivariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS Blood transfusion following severe burn injury may be associated with worse clinical outcomes. The utility for blood transfusion in burn patients warrants further prospective exploration.

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of red blood cell transfusion and/or inotropic/vasopressor agent infusion during intraoperative and postoperative first 24-hour period on 30-day and one-year survival.
Materials and Methods: In the final analysis, 133 patients who underwent radical cystectomy and urinary diversion surgery between November 2011 and January 2019 were included in this study. Perioperative anesthesia management early postoperative intensive care patient follow-ups were based on.
Results: A statistically significant relationship was found between intraoperative red blood cell transfusion and one-year mortality rates. A statistically significant relationship was found between red blood cell transfusion in the intensive care unit and postoperative 30-day mortality rates. The relationship between vasopressor/inotrope agent infusion in intensive care unit and postoperative 30-day mortality was statistically significant.
Conclusion: In radical cystectomy and urinary diversion, intraoperative red blood cell and/or inotrope/vasopressor drug administration, and red blood cell transfusion within first 24 postoperative hours in intensive care unit are associated with lower survival rates in both early and late periods. Future studies should focus on developing and implementing different strategies for perioperative blood management and maintenance of patient hemodynamics that may affect early and late outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperatively administered (leukocyte reduced) allogeneic red blood cell transfusions (lrRBCTs) may lead to transfusion-related immunomodulation and reduced overall survival (OS) in cancer patients. Herein, the effect of lrRBCT on local recurrence (LR), distant metastasis (DM), and OS in soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients was analysed. METHODS Retrospective study on 432 STS patients (mean age: 60.0 ± 17.8 years; 46.1% female), surgically treated at a tertiary tumour centre. Uni- and multivariate survival models were calculated to analyse impact of perioperative lrRBCTs on LR, DM, OS. RESULTS Perioperatively, 75 patients (17.4%) had received lrRBCTs. Older patients, deep, large, lower limb STS rather required lrRBCTs (all p < 0.05). No significant association between lrRBCT administration and LR- (p = 0.582) or DM-risk (p = 0.084) was observed. LrRBCT was associated with worse OS in univariate analysis (HR: 2.222; p < 0.001), with statistical significance lost upon multivariate analysis (HR: 1.658; p = 0.059; including age, histology, size, grading, amputation, depth). Adding preoperative haemoglobin in subgroup of 220 patients with laboratory parameters revealed significant negative impact of low haemoglobin on OS (p = 0.014), whilst effect of lrRBCT was further diminished (p = 0.167). CONCLUSION Unfavourable prognostic factors prevail in STS patients requiring lrRBCTs. Low haemoglobin levels rather than lrRBCT seem to reduce OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood transfusions reportedly modulate the recipient's immune system. Transfusion-related immunomodulation has been suggested as a mechanism of some adverse clinical outcomes. Extracellular nucleic acids circulate in plasma and activate relevant immune responses, but little is known about their mechanism of action in transfusion-related immunomodulation (TRIM). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cell-free nucleic acids (CFNAs) produced by red blood cells (RBCs) on innate immunity, especially peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and macrophages, and to investigate the mechanism of action. METHODS Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between PBMCs exposed to RBC-produced CFNA and normal PBMCs were analyzed by gene expression data combined with bioinformatics. KEGG and GO enrichment analyses were performed for the DEGs, and in vitro experiments were performed for the effects of key genes on the release of inflammatory factors from macrophages. RESULTS Analysis of microarray data showed that exposure of monocytes to RBC-produced CFNAs increased the expression of genes involved in the innate immune response, including chemokines, chemokine receptors, and innate response receptors, and that calcium channel activity was highly regulated, with a key gene being CaMKIV. CaMKIV played a critical role in LPS-induced inflammatory factor release from macrophages, which was exacerbated by overexpression of the CaMKIV gene. CONCLUSION RBCs regulate the release of inflammatory factors during blood transfusion by releasing CFNAs and affecting expression of the CaMKIV gene in PBMCs or macrophages, which is a potential regulatory mechanism of blood transfusion-related immune regulation and related adverse reactions.

Abstract
Background The phenomenon of co-infection with multiple carbapenem-resistant bacteria is growing, which pose a great challenge for infection control and treatment. This study aimed to analyze predictors of occurrence and 30-day mortality for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii co-infection. Methods From June 2018 to June 2021, clinical data of 103 patients co-infected with carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) were collected from a tertiary teaching hospital in Anhui Province, China. The clinical characteristics and predictors of mortality were analyzed. Meanwhile, the bacterial isolates were characterized for drug susceptibility, multi-locus sequence typing, and drug resistance genes. Results The multivariate analysis revealed that fiberoptic bronchoscopy (p = 0.005, OR=2.72), repeat transfusions (p = 0.008, OR= 2.23) and exposure to tigecycline (p = 0.002, OR = 6.58) were independent risk factors for CRKP and CRAB co-infection. Neutrophil ≥11.9*109 (p = 0.035, adjusted HR = 3.12) and C-reactive protein ≥ 149 mg/L (p = 0.009, adjusted HR = 4.41) were found associated with 30-day mortality. Combined neutrophil with C-reactive protein could predict 30-day mortality, of which AUC value was 0.791 (95%CI: 0.661-0.921). KPC (46/51, 90.2%) was the most common carbapenemase in CRKP. 33 isolates of CRKP belong to ST11 (33/51, 64.7%), and three new ST types ST5882, ST5883, ST5885 were detected. Conclusions Invasive operations and antibiotics exposure can lead to CRKP and CRAB co-infection. Combined neutrophil with C-reactive protein could predict 30-day mortality.

The Association between General Anesthesia and New Postoperative Uses of Sedative-Hypnotics: A Nationwide Matched Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11123360. [PMID: 35743431 PMCID: PMC9224548 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11123360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Sedative−hypnotic misuse is associated with psychiatric diseases and overdose deaths. It remains uncertain whether types of anesthesia affect the occurrence of new postoperative uses of sedative−hypnotics (NPUSH). We used reimbursement claims data of Taiwan’s National Health Insurance and conducted propensity score matching to compare the risk of NPUSH between general and neuraxial anesthesia among surgical patients who had no prescription of oral sedative−hypnotics or diagnosis of sleep disorders within the 12 months before surgery. The primary outcome was NPUSH within 180 days after surgery. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to calculate the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). A total of 92,222 patients were evaluated after matching. Among them, 15,016 (16.3%) had NPUSH, and 2183 (4.7%) were made a concomitant diagnosis of sleep disorders. General anesthesia was significantly associated both with NPUSH (aOR: 1.17, 95% CI: 1.13−1.22, p < 0.0001) and NPUSH with sleep disorders (aOR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.02−1.21, p = 0.0212) compared with neuraxial anesthesia. General anesthesia was also linked to NPUSH that occurred 90−180 days after surgery (aOR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.06−1.19, p = 0.0002). Other risk factors for NPUSH were older age, female, lower insurance premium, orthopedic surgery, specific coexisting diseases (e.g., anxiety disorder), concurrent medications (e.g., systemic steroids), postoperative complications, perioperative blood transfusions, and admission to an intensive care unit. Patients undergoing general anesthesia had an increased risk of NPUSH compared with neuraxial anesthesia. This finding may provide an implication in risk stratification and prevention for sedative−hypnotic dependence after surgery.
