Abstract
The increasing incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a significant global health concern, affecting millions of individuals each year. Accurate diagnosis of acute CVD poses a formidable challenge, as misdiagnosis can significantly decrease patient survival rates. Traditional biomarkers have played a vital role in the diagnosis and prognosis of CVDs, but they can be influenced by various factors, such as age, sex, and renal function. Soluble ST2 (sST2) is a novel biomarker that is closely associated with different CVDs. Its low reference change value makes it suitable for continuous measurement, unaffected by age, kidney function, and other confounding factors, facilitating risk stratification of CVDs. Furthermore, the combination of sST2 with other biomarkers can enhance diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of sST2, focusing on its diagnostic and prognostic value as a myocardial marker for different types of CVDs and discussing the current limitations of sST2.

Lung Ultrasound Score as a Predictor of Failure to Wean COVID-19 Elderly Patients off Mechanical Ventilation: A Prospective Observational Study. Clin Interv Aging 2024; 19:313-322. [PMID: 38404479 PMCID: PMC10887876 DOI: 10.2147/cia.s438714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The lung ultrasound score was developed for rapidly assessing the extent of lung ventilation, and it can predict failure to wean various types of patients off mechanical ventilation. Whether it is also effective for COVID-19 patients is unclear. Methods This single-center, prospective, observational study was conducted to assess the ability of the 12-region lung ultrasound score to predict failure to wean COVID-19 patients off ventilation. In parallel, we assessed whether right hemidiaphragmatic excursion or previously published predictors of weaning failure can apply to these patients. Predictive ability was assessed in terms of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results The mean age of the 35 patients in the study was (75 ± 9) years and 12 patients (37%) could not be weaned off mechanical ventilation. The lung ultrasound score predicted these failures with an AUC of 0.885 (95% CI 0.770-0.999, p < 0.001), and a threshold score of 10 provided specificity of 72.7% and sensitivity of 92.3%. AUCs were lower for previously published predictors of weaning failure, and right hemidiaphragmatic excursion did not differ significantly between the two groups. Conclusion The lung ultrasound score can accurately predict failure to wean critically ill COVID-19 patients off mechanical ventilation, whereas assessment of right hemidiaphragmatic excursion does not appear helpful in this regard.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a medical condition characterized by widespread inflammation in the lungs with consequent proportional loss of gas exchange function. ARDS is linked with severe pulmonary or systemic infection. Several factors, including secretory cytokines, immune cells, and lung epithelial and endothelial cells, play a role in the development and progression of this disease. The present study is based on Pubmed database information (1987-2022) using the words "Acute respiratory distress syndrome", "Interleukin", "Cytokines" and "Immune cells". Cytokines and immune cells play an important role in this disease, with particular emphasis on the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors. Neutrophils are one of several important mediators of Inflammation, lung tissue destruction, and malfunction during ARDS. Some immune cells, such as macrophages and eosinophils, play a dual role in releasing inflammatory mediators, recruitment inflammatory cells and the progression of ARDS, or releasing anti-inflammatory mediators, clearing the lung of inflammatory cells, and helping to improve the disease. Different interleukins play a role in the development or inhibition of ARDS by helping to activate various signaling pathways, helping to secrete other inflammatory or anti-inflammatory interleukins, and playing a role in the production and balance between immune cells involved in ARDS. As a result, immune cells and, inflammatory cytokines, especially interleukins play an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease Therefore, understanding the relevant mechanisms will help in the proper diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Value of increased soluble suppressor tumorigenicity biomarker 2 (sST2) on admission as an indicator of severity in patients with COVID-19. Med Clin (Barc) 2023; 161:185-191. [PMID: 37137804 PMCID: PMC10086099 DOI: 10.1016/j.medcli.2023.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Soluble suppressor of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) is a biomarker for heart failure and pulmonary injury. We hypothesize that sST2 could help predict severity of SARS-CoV-2 infections. METHODS sST2 was analyzed in patients consecutively admitted for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. Other prognostic markers were also measured. In-hospital complications were registered, including death, ICU admission, and respiratory support requirements. RESULTS 495 patients were studied (53% male, age: 57.6±17.6). At admission, median sST2 concentrations was 48.5ng/mL [IQR, 30.6-83.1ng/mL] and correlated with male gender, older age, comorbidities, other severity biomarkers, and respiratory support requirements. sST2 levels were higher in patients who died (n=45, 9.1%) (45.6 [28.0, 75.9]ng/mL vs. 144 [82.6, 319] ng/mL, p<0.001) and those admitted to ICU (n=46, 9.3%) (44.7 [27.5, 71.3] ng/mL vs. 125 [69.0, 262]ng/mL, p<0.001). sST2 levels>210ng/mL were a strong predictor of complicated in-hospital courses, with higher risk of death (OR, 39.3, CI95% 15.9, 103) and death/ICU (OR 38.3, CI95% 16.3-97.5) after adjusting for all other risk factors. The addition of sST2 enhanced the predictive capacity of mortality risk models. CONCLUSIONS sST2 represents a robust severity predictor in COVID-19 and could be an important tool for identifying at-risk patients who may benefit from closer follow-up and specific therapies.

Early plasma proteomic biomarkers and prediction model of acute respiratory distress syndrome after cardiopulmonary bypass: a prospective nested cohort study. Int J Surg 2023; 109:2561-2573. [PMID: 37528797 PMCID: PMC10498873 DOI: 10.1097/js9.0000000000000434] [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: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Early recognition of the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may improve clinical outcomes. The main objective of this study was to identify proteomic biomarkers and develop an early prediction model for CPB-ARDS. METHODS The authors conducted three prospective nested cohort studies of all consecutive patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB at Union Hospital of Tongji Medical College Hospital. Plasma proteomic profiling was performed in ARDS patients and matched controls (Cohort 1, April 2021-July 2021) at multiple timepoints: before CPB (T1), at the end of CPB (T2), and 24 h after CPB (T3). Then, for Cohort 2 (August 2021-July 2022), biomarker expression was measured and verified in the plasma. Furthermore, lung ischemia/reperfusion injury (LIRI) models and sham-operation were established in 50 rats to explore the tissue-level expression of biomarkers identified in the aforementioned clinical cohort. Subsequently, a machine learning-based prediction model incorporating protein and clinical predictors from Cohort 2 for CPB-ARDS was developed and internally validated. Model performance was externally validated on Cohort 3 (January 2023-March 2023). RESULTS A total of 709 proteins were identified, with 9, 29, and 35 altered proteins between ARDS cases and controls at T1, T2, and T3, respectively, in Cohort 1. Following quantitative verification of several predictive proteins in Cohort 2, higher levels of thioredoxin domain containing 5 (TXNDC5), cathepsin L (CTSL), and NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 2 (NPC2) at T2 were observed in CPB-ARDS patients. A dynamic online predictive nomogram was developed based on three proteins (TXNDC5, CTSL, and NPC2) and two clinical risk factors (CPB time and massive blood transfusion), with excellent performance (precision: 83.33%, sensitivity: 93.33%, specificity: 61.16%, and F1 score: 85.05%). The mean area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) of the model after 10-fold cross-validation was 0.839 (95% CI: 0.824-0.855). Model discrimination and calibration were maintained during external validation dataset testing, with an AUC of 0.820 (95% CI: 0.685-0.955) and a Brier Score of 0.177 (95% CI: 0.147-0.206). Moreover, the considerably overexpressed TXNDC5 and CTSL proteins identified in the plasma of patients with CPB-ARDS, exhibited a significant upregulation in the lung tissue of LIRI rats. CONCLUSIONS This study identified several novel predictive biomarkers, developed and validated a practical prediction tool using biomarker and clinical factor combinations for individual prediction of CPB-ARDS risk. Assessing the plasma TXNDC5, CTSL, and NPC2 levels might identify patients who warrant closer follow-up and intensified therapy for ARDS prevention following major surgery.

Assessment of sST2 Behaviors to Evaluate Severity/Clinical Impact of Acute Pulmonary Embolism. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054591.

Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially life-threatening disorder. Beyond its usefulness in the prognostic stratification of heart failure, sST2 can represent a biomarker with high utility in several acute conditions. Our study was aimed to investigate whether sST2 can be used as a clinical marker of severity and prognostic outcome in acute PE. We enrolled 72 patients with documented PE and 38 healthy subjects; we measured the plasma concentrations of sST2 to evaluate the prognostic and severity performance of different levels of sST2 according to its association with the pulmonary embolism severity index (PESI) score and several parameters of respiratory function. PE patients had significantly higher levels of sST2 compared with healthy subjects (87.74 ± 17.1 vs. 17.1 ± 0.4 ng/mL, p < 0.001); we found higher PESI scores and serum lactate values in the group of patients with sST2 > 35 ng/mL compared with patients with sST2 < 35 ng/mL (138.7 ± 14.9 vs. 103.7 ± 15.1 and 2.43 ± 0.69 vs. 1.025 ± 0.05 mmol/L, respectively; p < 0.05). Patients with sST2 > 35 ng/mL showed higher radiological severity of PE compared with patients with sST2 < 35 ng/mL. Moreover, sST2 was the strongest parameter with a discriminative capacity for the development of acute respiratory failure and a PESI score >106 with respect to C reactive protein (CRP), creatinine, d-dimer, and serum lactate. We clearly demonstrated that sST2 significantly increased in PE and that its elevation was associated with disease severity. Therefore, sST2 may be used as a clinical marker in the evaluation of PE severity. However, further studies with larger patient populations are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Objective Soluble ST2 (sST2) reflects inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis, is produced in the lungs and is an established biomarker in heart failure. We sought to determine the role of sST2 in COVID-19 by assessing pathophysiological correlates and its association to in-hospital outcomes. Methods We enrolled 123 consecutive, hospitalised patients with COVID-19 in the prospective, observational COVID-19 MECH study. Biobank samples were collected at baseline, day 3 and day 9. The key exposure variable was sST2, and the outcome was ICU treatment with mechanical ventilation or in-hospital death. Results Concentrations of sST2 at baseline was median 48 (IQR 37–67) ng/mL, and 74% had elevated concentrations (>37.9 ng/mL). Higher baseline sST2 concentrations were associated with older age, male sex, white race, smoking, diabetes, hypertension and chronic kidney disease. Baseline sST2 also associated with the presence of SARS-CoV-2 viraemia, lower oxygen saturation, higher respiratory rate and increasing concentrations of biomarkers reflecting inflammation, thrombosis and cardiovascular disease. During the hospitalisation, 8 (7%) patients died and 27 (22%) survivors received intensive care unit (ICU) treatment. Baseline sST2 concentrations demonstrated a graded association with disease severity (median, IQR): medical ward 43 (36–59) ng/mL; ICU 67 (39–104) ng/mL and non-survivors 107 (72–116) ng/mL (p<0.001 for all comparisons). These associations persisted at day 3 and day 9. Conclusions sST2 concentrations associate with SARS-CoV-2 viraemia, hypoxaemia and concentrations of inflammatory and cardiovascular biomarkers. There was a robust association between baseline sST2 and disease severity that was independent of, and superior to, established risk factors. sST2 reflects key pathophysiology and may be a promising biomarker in COVID-19. Trial registration number NCT04314232.

Abstract
Rationale: Standard physiologic assessments of extubation readiness in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) may not reflect lung injury resolution and could adversely affect clinical decision-making and patient outcomes. Objectives: We hypothesized that elevations in inflammatory plasma biomarkers sST2 (soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2) and IL-6 indicate ongoing lung injury in AHRF and better inform patient outcomes compared with standard clinical assessments. Methods: We measured daily plasma biomarkers and physiologic variables in 200 patients with AHRF for up to 9 days after intubation. We tested the associations of baseline values with the primary outcome of unassisted breathing at Day 29. We analyzed the ability of serial biomarker measurements to inform successful ventilator liberation. Measurements and Main Results: Baseline sST2 concentrations were higher in patients dead or mechanically ventilated versus breathing unassisted at Day 29 (491.7 ng/ml [interquartile range (IQR), 294.5-670.1 ng/ml] vs. 314.4 ng/ml [IQR, 127.5-550.1 ng/ml]; P = 0.0003). Higher sST2 concentrations over time were associated with a decreased probability of ventilator liberation (hazard ratio, 0.80 per log-unit increase; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.75-0.83; P = 0.03). Patients with higher sST2 concentrations on the day of liberation were more likely to fail liberation compared with patients who remained successfully liberated (320.9 ng/ml [IQR, 181.1- 495.6 ng/ml] vs. 161.6 ng/ml [IQR, 95.8-292.5 ng/ml]; P = 0.002). Elevated sST2 concentrations on the day of liberation decreased the odds of successful liberation when adjusted for standard physiologic parameters (odds ratio, 0.325; 95% CI, 0.119-0.885; P = 0.03). IL-6 concentrations did not associate with outcomes. Conclusions: Using sST2 concentrations to guide ventilator management may more accurately reflect underlying lung injury and outperform traditional measures of readiness for ventilator liberation.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. OBJECTIVES: We hypothesize that elevated soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 concentrations, a marker of pulmonary epithelial injury, reflect ongoing lung injury in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to coronavirus disease 2019 and associate with continued ventilator dependence. DESIGN: We associated serial plasma soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 levels and markers of systemic inflammation including d-dimer, C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate with 30-day mortality and ventilator dependence. SETTING: Adult medical ICUs and general medicine wards at an academic teaching hospital in Boston, MA. PATIENTS: Adult patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure admitted to the ICU (n = 72) and non-ICU patients managed with supplemental oxygen (n = 77). INTERVENTIONS: Observational study from April 25 to June 25, 2020. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: ICU patients had a higher baseline body mass index and median soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2, d-dimer, and C-reactive protein concentrations compared with non-ICU patients. Among ICU patients, elevated baseline modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score and log (soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2) were associated with 30-day mortality, whereas initial Pao2/Fio2 and markers of systemic inflammation were similar between groups. Only log (soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2) associated with ventilator dependence over time, with the last measured log (soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2) concentration obtained on ICU day 11.5 (interquartile range [7–17]) higher in patients who required reintubation or tracheostomy placement compared with patients who were successfully extubated (2.10 [1.89–2.26] vs 1.87 ng/mL [1.72–2.13 ng/mL]; p = 0.03). Last measured systemic inflammatory markers, modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, and Pao2/Fio2 were not different between patients who were successfully extubated compared with those with continued ventilator dependence. CONCLUSIONS: Plasma soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 is a biomarker readily measured in blood that can provide dynamic information about the degree of a patient’s lung injury and real-time assessment of the likelihood of extubation success. Measures of systemic inflammation, illness severity, and oxygenation did not associate with ventilator outcomes.

Interleukin-6: obstacles to targeting a complex cytokine in critical illness. THE LANCET. RESPIRATORY MEDICINE 2021; 9:643-654. [PMID: 33872590 PMCID: PMC8051931 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-2600(21)00103-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 102] [Impact Index Per Article: 34.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2020] [Revised: 02/13/2021] [Accepted: 02/15/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Circulating concentrations of the pleiotropic cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) are known to be increased in pro-inflammatory critical care syndromes, such as sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Elevations in serum IL-6 concentrations in patients with severe COVID-19 have led to renewed interest in the cytokine as a therapeutic target. However, although the pro-inflammatory properties of IL-6 are widely known, the cytokine also has a series of important physiological and anti-inflammatory functions. An adequate understanding of the complex processes by which IL-6 signalling occurs is crucial for the correct interpretation of IL-6 concentrations in the blood or lung, the use of IL-6 as a critical care biomarker, or the design of effective anti-IL-6 strategies. Here, we outline the role of IL-6 in health and disease, explain the different types of IL-6 signalling and their contribution to the net biological effect of the cytokine, describe the approaches to IL-6 inhibition that are currently available, and discuss implications for the future use of treatments such as tocilizumab in the critical care setting.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is an inflammatory pulmonary disease that can easily develop into serious acute respiratory distress syndrome, which has high morbidity and mortality. However, the molecular mechanism of ALI remains unclear, and few molecular biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment have been identified. In this study, we aimed to identify novel molecular biomarkers using a bioinformatics approach. Gene expression data were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, co-expressed differentially expressed genes (CoDEGs) were identified using R software, and further functional enrichment analyses were conducted using the online tool Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery. A protein-protein interaction network was established using the STRING database and Cytoscape software. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI mouse model was constructed and verified. The hub genes were screened and validated in vivo. The transcription factors (TFs) and miRNAs associated with the hub genes were predicted using the NetworkAnalyst database. In total, 71 CoDEGs were screened and found to be mainly involved in the cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, and the tumor necrosis factor and malaria signaling pathways. Animal experiments showed that the lung injury score, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid protein concentration, and wet-to-dry weight ratio were higher in the LPS group than those in the control group. Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated that most of the hub genes such as colony-stimulating factor 2 (Csf2) were overexpressed in the LPS group. A total of 20 TFs including nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1) and two miRNAs were predicted to be regulators of the hub genes. In summary, Csf2 may serve as a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target for ALI. NRF1 and mmu-mir-122-5p may be key regulators in the development of ALI.

Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 predicts pneumonia in patients with inhalation injury: Results of a pilot study. Burns 2020; 47:906-913. [PMID: 33143991 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2020.10.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2020] [Revised: 08/25/2020] [Accepted: 10/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several mechanisms play a role in the development of pneumonia after inhalation injury. Our aim was to analyze whether higher concentrations of inflammatory markers or of biomarkers of epithelial injury are associated with a higher incidence of pneumonia in patients with inhalation injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS Secondary analysis of a single-center prospective observational cohort pilot study, performed over a two-year period (2015-2017) at the Burns Unit of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department of Vall d'Hebron University Hospital. All patients aged 18 with suspected inhalation injury undergoing admission to the Burns Unit were included. Plasma biomarkers of the lung epithelium (RAGE and SP-D), inflammation markers (IL6, IL8), and IL33, as well as soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) levels, were measured within the first 24 h of admission. RESULTS Twenty-four patients with inhalation injury were included. Eight (33.3%) developed pneumonia after a median of 7 (4-8) days of hospital stay. Patients with pneumonia presented higher plasma concentrations of sST2 (2853 [2356-3351] ng/mL vs 1352 [865-1839] ng/mL; p < 0.001), IL33 (1.95 [1.31-2.59] pg/mL vs 1.26 [1.07-1.45] pg/mL; p = 0.002) and IL8 (325.7 [221.6-430.0] pg/mL vs 174.1 [95.2-253.0] pg/mL; p = 0.017) on day 1 of inclusion. Plasma sST2 concentration in the first 24 h demonstrated excellent diagnostic accuracy for predicting the occurrence of pneumonia in patients with smoke inhalation (AUROC 0.929 [95%CI 0.818-1.000]). A cutoff point of ≥2825 ng/mL for sST2 had a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 100%. The risk ratio of pneumonia in patients with sST2 ≥ 2825 ng/mL was 7.14 ([95% CI 1.56-32.61]; p = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS Plasma sST2 in the first 24 h of admission predicts the occurrence of pneumonia in patients with inhalation injury.

Abstract
AIMS Cardiac dysfunction is the main cause of multi-organ failure following sepsis within critical care units. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of the small molecule inhibition of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), RU.521, on cardiac function in mice with sepsis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sepsis was induced in mice via intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection (10 mg/kg, i.p.). Mice subsequently received 5 mg/kg RU.521 within 10 min form LPS injection. The cardiac function, inflammatory factor and oxidative stress of mice were examined for 24 h following LPS injection. KEY FINDINGS RU.521 was indicated to significantly increase the cardiac function of mice with sepsis. In addition, the inflammatory responses, oxidative stress and apoptosis in hearts of sepsis mice were markedly mitigated by RU.521. Moreover, inhibition of Sirt3 inhibited the protective effects of RU.521 on mice with sepsis. SIGNIFICANCE The current study indicated that RU.521 alleviated the inflammatory response and alleviated the damage induced by oxidative stress, leading to cardiac protection via increased Sirt3 expression in the hearts of mice with sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The IL33/ST2 pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of different inflammatory diseases. Our aim was to analyze whether plasma levels of biomarkers involved in the IL33/ST2 axis might help to predict mortality in burn patients. METHODS Single-center prospective observational cohort pilot study performed at the Burns Unit of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department of the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital (Barcelona). All patients aged ≥18 years old with second or third-degree burns requiring admission to the Burns Unit were considered for inclusion. Blood samples were taken to measure levels of interleukins (IL)6, IL8, IL33, and soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) within 24 h of admission to the Burns Unit and at day 3. Results are expressed as medians and interquartile ranges or as frequencies and percentages. RESULTS Sixty-nine patients (58 [84.1%] male, mean age 52 [35-63] years, total body surface area burned 21% [13%-30%], Abbreviated Burn Severity Index 6 [4-8]) were included. Thirteen (18.8%) finally died in the Burns Unit. Plasma levels of sST2 measured at day 3 after admission demonstrated the best prediction accuracy for survival (area under the receiver-operating curve 0.85 [0.71-0.99]; P < 0.001). The best cutoff point for the area under the receiver-operating curve index was estimated to be 2,561. In the Cox proportional hazards model, after adjusting for potential confounding, a plasma sST2 level ≥2,561 measured at day 3 was significantly associated with mortality (hazard ratio 6.94 [1.73-27.74]; P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Plasma sST2 at day 3 predicts hospital mortality in burn patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanisms influencing severity of acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) in children are not established. We aimed to assess the role of inflammatory markers and respiratory viruses in ALRI severity. METHODS Concentrations of interleukin(IL)-33, soluble suppression of tumorigenicity (sST)2, IL-1ß, tumor necrosis factor α, IL-4, IL-6 and IL- 8 and types of respiratory viruses were evaluated in children at the first and fifth days after hospital admission. Disease severity was defined as need for mechanical ventilation. RESULTS Seventy-nine children <5 years-old were included; 33(41.8%) received mechanical ventilation. No associations between virus type, viral load or co-detections and severity of disease were observed. Detection of IL-33 and sST2 in nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA) on admission were associated with higher risk for mechanical ventilation (RR = 2.89 and RR = 4.57, respectively). IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations were higher on Day 5 in mechanically ventilated children. IL-6 NPA concentrations decreased from Day 1 to Day 5 in children who did not receive mechanical ventilation. Increase in sST2 NPA concentrations from Day 1 to Day 5 was associated with longer hospital length of stay (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS An exacerbated local activation of the IL-33/ST2 axis and persistently high sST2 concentrations over time were associated with severity of viral ALRI in children.

Abstract
Introduction Currently, no effective therapies exist to reduce the high mortality associated with dialysis-dependent acute kidney injury (AKI-D). Serum biomarkers may be useful in understanding the pathophysiological processes involved with AKI and the severity of injury, and point to novel therapeutic targets. Methods Study day 1 serum samples from 100 patients and day 8 samples from 107 patients enrolled in the Veteran’s Affairs/National Institutes of Health Acute Renal Failure Trial Network study were analyzed by the slow off-rate modified aptamers scan proteomic platform to profile 1305 proteins in each sample. Patients in each cohort were classified into tertiles based on baseline biomarker measurements. Cox regression analyses were performed to examine the relationships between serum levels of each biomarker and mortality. Results Changes in the serum levels of 54 proteins, 33 of which increased and 21 of which decreased, were detected when comparing samples of patients who died in the first 8 days versus patients who survived >8 days. Among the 33 proteins that increased, higher serum levels of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), neutrophil collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase-8), and soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor, when stratified by tertiles, were associated with higher mortality. The association with mortality persisted for each of these proteins after adjusting for other potential risk factors, including age, sex, cardiovascular sequential organ failure assessment score, congestive heart failure, and presence of diabetes. Upper tertile levels of FGF23, tPA, and interleukin-6 on day 8 were associated with increased mortality; however, FGF23 barely lost significance after multivariable adjustment. Conclusions Our results underscore an emerging proteomics tool capable of identifying low-abundance serum proteins important not only in the pathogenesis of AKI-D, but which is also helpful in discriminating AKI-D patients with high mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neutrophil elastase (HNE) is a destructive enzyme and plays crucial roles in the pathophysiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Endogenous proteinase inhibitors elafin (PI3) is important to protect against lung tissue destruction. We proposed to examine whether HNE and PI3 serve as prognostic biomarkers for ARDS. METHODS This study is a survival and longitudinal analysis of plasma profiles of HNE and PI3 in ARDS patients from a multicenter prospective observational cohort in Beijing, China. Plasma samples were collected on day-1, day-3, and day-7 of study enrollment. RESULTS HNE levels were higher in ARDS non-survivors than survivors, whereas PI3 showed opposite direction for all three measurements (P < 0.01 for all). Patients with HNE level above median and PI3 level below median values had the lowest survival probability and died the fastest. There was a significant longitudinal effect of HNE levels and PI3 level on mortality. Receiver-operating characteristic analysis demonstrated combination of HNE and PI3 had the discrimination ability for 28-day mortality (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve [AUC]: 0.76), better than the combination of Berlin categories and APACHE II (AUC: 0.63). The addition of HNE and PI3 to Berlin categories and APACHE II has significantly improved the prognostic discrimination ability (AUC: 0.81, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Imbalance between HNE and PI3 levels in ARDS patients was associated with ARDS mortality. By combining these biomarkers with Berlin categories and APACHE II, prognostic power of ARDS was greatly improved. Circulation levels of HNE and PI3 may have the potential to predict ARDS mortality and better inform clinicians about ARDS mortality risk.
