Abstract
OBJECTIVES Describing mitochondrial oxygenation (mitoPO2) and its within- and between-subject variability over time after 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) plaster application in healthy volunteers. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Measurements were performed in Leiden University Medical Center, the Netherlands. PARTICIPANTS Healthy volunteers enrolled from July to September 2020. INTERVENTIONS Two ALA plasters were placed parasternal left and right, with a 3-hour time interval, to examine the influence of the calendar time on the value of mitoPO2. We measured mitoPO2 at 4, 5, 7, 10, 28, and 31 hours after ALA plaster 1 application, and at 4, 5, 7, 25, and 28 hours after ALA plaster 2 application. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES At each time point, five mitoPO2 measurements were performed. Within-subject variability was defined as the standard deviation (SD) of the mean of five measurements per timepoint of a study participant. The between-subject variability was the SD of the mean mitoPO2 value of the study population per timepoint. RESULTS In 16 completed inclusions, median mitoPO2 values and within-subject variability were relatively similar over time at all time points for both plasters. An increase in overall between-subject variability was seen after 25 hours ALA plaster time (19.6 mm Hg vs 23.9 mm Hg after respectively 10 and 25 hours ALA plaster time). CONCLUSIONS The mitoPO2 values and within-subject variability remained relatively stable over time in healthy volunteers. An increase in between-subject variability was seen after 25 hours ALA plaster time warranting replacement of the ALA plaster one day after its application. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov with trial number NCT04626661.

Abstract
Cellular metabolic reprogramming is an important feature of malignant tumors. Metabolic reprogramming causes changes in the levels or types of specific metabolites inside and outside the cell, which affects tumorigenesis and progression by influencing gene expression, the cellular state, and the tumor microenvironment. During tumorigenesis, a series of changes in the glucose metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and cholesterol metabolism of tumor cells occur, which are involved in the process of cellular carcinogenesis and constitute part of the underlying mechanisms of tumor formation. Hyperthermia, as one of the main therapeutic tools for malignant tumors, has obvious effects on tumor cell metabolism. In this paper, we will combine the latest research progress in the field of cellular metabolic reprogramming and focus on the current experimental research and clinical treatment of hyperthermia in cellular metabolic reprogramming to discuss the feasibility of cellular metabolic reprogramming-related mechanisms guiding hyperthermia in malignant tumor treatment, so as to provide more ideas for hyperthermia to treat malignant tumors through the direction of cellular metabolic reprogramming.

Abstract
Critical illness is often accompanied by a hemodynamic imbalance between macrocirculation and microcirculation, as well as mitochondrial dysfunction. Microcirculatory disorders lead to abnormalities in the supply of oxygen to tissue cells, while mitochondrial dysfunction leads to abnormal energy metabolism and impaired tissue oxygen utilization, making these conditions important pathogenic factors of critical illness. At the same time, there is a close relationship between the microcirculation and mitochondria. We introduce here the concept of a "critical unit", with two core components: microcirculation, which mainly comprises the microvascular network and endothelial cells, especially the endothelial glycocalyx; and mitochondria, which are mainly involved in energy metabolism but perform other non-negligible functions. This review also introduces several techniques and devices that can be utilized for the real-time synchronous monitoring of the microcirculation and mitochondria, and thus critical unit monitoring. Finally, we put forward the concepts and strategies of critical unit-guided treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The newly introduced Cellular Oxygen METabolism (COMET®) monitor enables the measurement of mitochondrial oxygen tension (mitoPO2) using the protoporphyrin IX triplet state lifetime technique (PpIX-TSLT). This study aims to investigate the feasibility and applicability of the COMET® measurements in the operating theatre and study the behavior of the new parameter mitoPO2 during stable operating conditions. METHODS In this observational study mitochondrial oxygenation was measured in 20 patients during neurosurgical procedures using the COMET® device. Tissue oxygenation and local blood flow were measured by the Oxygen to See (O2C). Primary outcomes included mitoPO2, skin temperature, mean arterial blood pressure, local blood flow and tissue oxygenation. RESULTS All patients remained hemodynamically stable during surgery. Mean baseline mitoPO2 was 60 ± 19 mmHg (mean ± SD) and mean mitoPO2 remained between 40-60 mmHg during surgery, but tended to decrease over time in line with increasing skin temperature. CONCLUSION This study presents the feasibility of mitochondrial oxygenation measurements as measured by the COMET® monitor in the operating theatre and shows the parameter mitoPO2 to behave in a stable and predictable way in the absence of notable hemodynamic alterations. The results provide a solid base for further research into the added value of mitochondrial oxygenation measurements in the perioperative trajectory.

Abstract
ObjectiveAdequate oxygenation is essential for the preservation of organ function during cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Both hypoxia and hyperoxia result in undesired outcomes, and a narrow window for optimal oxygenation exists. Current perioperative monitoring techniques are not always sufficient to monitor adequate oxygenation. The non-invasive COMET® monitor could be a tool to monitor oxygenation by measuring the cutaneous mitochondrial oxygen tension (mitoPO2). This pilot study examines the feasibility of cutaneous mitoPO2 measurements during cardiothoracic procedures. Cutaneous mitoPO2 will be compared to tissue oxygenation (StO2) as measured by near-infrared spectroscopy.Design and MethodThis single-center observational study examined 41 cardiac surgery patients requiring CPB. Preoperatively, patients received a 5-aminolevulinic acid plaster on the upper arm to enable mitoPO2 measurements. After induction of anesthesia, both cutaneous mitoPO2 and StO2 were measured throughout the procedure. The patients were observed until discharge for the development of acute kidney insufficiency (AKI).ResultsCutaneous mitoPO2 was successfully measured in all patients and was 63.5 [40.0–74.8] mmHg at the surgery start and decreased significantly (p < 0.01) to 36.4 [18.4–56.0] mmHg by the end of the CPB run. StO2 at the surgery start was 80.5 [76.8–84.3]% and did not change significantly. Cross-clamping of the aorta and the switch to non-pulsatile flow resulted in a median cutaneous mitoPO2 decrease of 7 mmHg (p < 0.01). The cessation of the aortic cross-clamping period resulted in an increase of 4 mmHg (p < 0.01). Totally, four patients developed AKI and had a lower preoperative eGFR of 52 vs. 81 ml/min in the non-AKI group. The AKI group spent 32% of the operation time with a cutaneous mitoPO2 value under 20 mmHg as compared to 8% in the non-AKI group.ConclusionThis pilot study illustrated the feasibility of measuring cutaneous mitoPO2 using the COMET® monitor during cardiothoracic procedures. Moreover, in contrast to StO2, mitoPO2 decreased significantly with the increasing CPB run time. Cutaneous mitoPO2 also significantly decreased during the aortic cross-clamping period and increased upon the release of the clamp, but StO2 did not. This emphasized the sensitivity of cutaneous mitoPO2 to detect circulatory and microvascular changes.

Recovery of organ-specific tissue oxygen delivery at restrictive transfusion thresholds after fluid treatment in ovine haemorrhagic shock. Intensive Care Med Exp 2022; 10:12. [PMID: 35377109 PMCID: PMC8980119 DOI: 10.1186/s40635-022-00439-6] [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: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 03/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Fluid resuscitation is the standard treatment to restore circulating blood volume and pressure after massive haemorrhage and shock. Packed red blood cells (PRBC) are transfused to restore haemoglobin levels. Restoration of microcirculatory flow and tissue oxygen delivery is critical for organ and patient survival, but these parameters are infrequently measured. Patient Blood Management is a multidisciplinary approach to manage and conserve a patient’s own blood, directing treatment options based on broad clinical assessment beyond haemoglobin alone, for which tissue perfusion and oxygenation could be useful. Our aim was to assess utility of non-invasive tissue-specific measures to compare PRBC transfusion with novel crystalloid treatments for haemorrhagic shock. Methods A model of severe haemorrhagic shock was developed in an intensive care setting, with controlled haemorrhage in sheep according to pressure (mean arterial pressure 30–40 mmHg) and oxygen debt (lactate > 4 mM) targets. We compared PRBC transfusion to fluid resuscitation with either PlasmaLyte or a novel crystalloid. Efficacy was assessed according to recovery of haemodynamic parameters and non-invasive measures of sublingual microcirculatory flow, regional tissue oxygen saturation, repayment of oxygen debt (arterial lactate), and a panel of inflammatory and organ function markers. Invasive measurements of tissue perfusion, oxygen tension and lactate levels were performed in brain, kidney, liver, and skeletal muscle. Outcomes were assessed during 4 h treatment and post-mortem, and analysed by one- and two-way ANOVA. Results Each treatment restored haemodynamic and tissue oxygen delivery parameters equivalently (p > 0.05), despite haemodilution after crystalloid infusion to haemoglobin concentrations below 70 g/L (p < 0.001). Recovery of vital organ-specific perfusion and oxygen tension commenced shortly before non-invasive measures improved. Lactate declined in all tissues and correlated with arterial lactate levels (p < 0.0001). The novel crystalloid supported rapid peripheral vasodilation (p = 0.014) and tended to achieve tissue oxygen delivery targets earlier. PRBC supported earlier renal oxygen delivery (p = 0.012) but delayed peripheral perfusion (p = 0.034). Conclusions Crystalloids supported vital organ oxygen delivery after massive haemorrhage, despite haemodilution to < 70 g/L, confirming that restrictive transfusion thresholds are appropriate to support oxygen delivery. Non-invasive tissue perfusion and oximetry technologies merit further clinical appraisal to guide treatment for massive haemorrhage in the context of Patient Blood Management.

Abstract
Introduction: Ischemia and reperfusion are crucial in determining the outcome after cardiac arrest and can be influenced by extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). The effect of ECPR on the availability and level of oxygen in mitochondria remains unknown. The aim of this study was to find out if skin mitochondrial partial oxygen pressure (mitoPO2) measurements in cardiac arrest and ECPR are feasible and to investigate its course. Materials and Methods: We performed a feasibility test to determine if skin mitoPO2 measurements in a pig are possible. Next, we aimed to measure skin mitoPO2 in 10 experimental pigs. Measurements were performed using a cellular oxygen metabolism measurement monitor (COMET), at baseline, during cardiac arrest, and during ECPR using the controlled integrated resuscitation device (CIRD). Results: The feasibility test showed continuous mitoPO2 values. Nine experimental pigs could be measured. Measurements in six experimental pigs succeeded. Our results showed a delay until the initial spike of mitoPO2 after ECPR initiation in all six experimental tests. In two experiments (33%) mitoPO2 remained present after the initial spike. A correlation of mitoPO2 with mean arterial pressure (MAP) and arterial partial oxygen pressure measured by CIRD (CIRD-PaO2) seemed not present. One of the experimental pigs survived. Conclusions: This experimental pilot study shows that continuous measurements of skin mitoPO2 in pigs treated with ECPR are feasible. The delay in initial mitoPO2 and discrepancy of mitoPO2 and MAP in our small sample study could point to the possible value of additional measurements besides MAP to monitor the quality of tissue perfusion during cardiac arrest and ECPR.

Abstract
Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are the major cause of death in industrialized countries. The main function of the CV system is to deliver nutrients and oxygen to all tissues. During most CV pathologies, oxygen and nutrient delivery is decreased or completely halted. Several mechanisms, including increased oxygen transport and delivery, as well as increased blood flow are triggered to compensate for the hypoxic state. If the compensatory mechanisms fail to sufficiently correct the hypoxia, irreversible damage can occur. Thus, hypoxia plays a central role in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of CV diseases. Hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) orchestrate the gene transcription for hundreds of proteins involved in erythropoiesis, glucose transport, angiogenesis, glycolytic metabolism, reactive oxygen species (ROS) handling, cell proliferation and survival, among others. The overall regulation of the expression of HIF-dependent genes depends on the severity, duration, and location of hypoxia. In the present review, common CV diseases were selected to illustrate that HIFs, and proteins derived directly or indirectly from their stabilization and activation, are related to the development and perpetuation of hypoxia in these pathologies. We further classify CV diseases into acute and chronic hypoxic states to better understand the temporal relevance of HIFs in the pathogenesis, disease progression and clinical outcomes of these diseases. We conclude that HIFs and their derived factors are fundamental in the genesis and progression of CV diseases. Understanding these mechanisms will lead to more effective treatment strategies leading to reduced morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Improved outcomes for acutely unwell patients are predicated on early identification of deterioration, accelerating the time to accurate diagnosis of the underlying condition, selection and titration of treatments that target biological phenotypes, and personalised endpoints to achieve optimal benefit yet minimise iatrogenic harm. Technological developments entering routine clinical practice over the next decade will deliver a sea change in patient management. Enhanced point of care diagnostics, more sophisticated physiological and biochemical monitoring with superior analytics and computer-aided support tools will all add considerable artificial intelligence to complement clinical skills. Experts in different fields of emergency and critical care medicine offer their perspectives as to which research developments could make a big difference within the next decade.

Abstract
One of the challenges in the management of acute blood loss is to differentiate whether blood transfusion is required or not. The sole use of haemoglobin values might lead to unnecessary transfusion in individual cases. The suggestion is that mitochondrial oxygen tension can be used as an additional monitoring technique to determine when blood transfusion is required. In this case report, we report mitochondrial oxygen measurements in a patient with perioperative blood loss requiring blood transfusion.

Abstract
Cytochrome C oxidase (CCO) acts as final electron acceptor in the respiratory chain, possibly providing information concerning cellular oxygenation. CCO is a chromophore with a broad absorption peak in the near-infrared spectrum in its reduced state (835 nm). However, this peak overlaps with deoxygenated haemoglobin (HHb; 755 nm) which is present in much higher concentrations. NIRO-300 measures CCO signals, but did not receive FDA approval for this use due to presumed lack of independency of the measured CCO changes. However, there is no proven evidence for this assumption. We hypothesized that the NIRO-300 provides a HHb independent measurement of CCO concentration changes. In this single-center crossover randomized controlled trial in healthy volunteers, subjects were randomized to receive arterial occlusion to the left arm and venous stasis on the right arm (n = 5) or vice versa (n = 5) during 5 min. After a resting period, the second part of the cross over study was performed. We placed the NIRO-300 optodes bilateral at the level of the brachioradial muscle in order to collect NIRS data continuously. Data was analysed using a generalized additive mixed model. HHb and CCO follow a significant different trend over time during the intervention period for both arterial occlusion (F = 20.645, edf = 3.419, p < 0.001) and venous stasis (F = 9.309, edf = 4.931, p < 0.001). Our data indicate that CCO concentration changes were not affected by HHb changes, thereby proving independency.Clinical trial registration: B670201732023 on June 28, 2017.

Abstract
Current monitoring techniques in neonates lack sensitivity for hypoxia at cellular level. The recent introduction of the non-invasive Cellular Oxygen METabolism (COMET) monitor enables measuring in vivo mitochondrial oxygen tension (mitoPO2), based on oxygen-dependent quenching of delayed fluorescence of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-enhanced protoporphyrin IX. The aim is to determine the feasibility and safety of non-invasive mitoPO2 monitoring in surgical newborns. MitoPO2 measurements were conducted in a tertiary pediatric center during surgical repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia or esophageal atresia. Intraoperative mitoPO2 monitoring was performed with a COMET monitor in 11 congenital diaphragmatic hernia and four esophageal atresia neonates with the median age at surgery being 2 days (IQR 1.25-5.75). Measurements were done at the skin and oxygen-dependent delayed fluorescence was measurable after at least 4 h application of an ALA plaster. Pathophysiological disturbances led to perturbations in mitoPO2 and were not observed with standard monitoring modalities. The technique did not cause damage to the skin, and seemed safe in this respect in all patients, and in 12 cases intraoperative monitoring was successfully completed. Some external and potentially preventable factors-the measurement site being exposed to the disinfectant chlorohexidine, purple skin marker, or infrared light-seemed responsible for the inability to detect an adequate delayed fluorescence signal. In conclusion, this is the first study showing it is possible to measure mitoPO2 in neonates and that the cutaneous administration of ALA to neonates in the described situation can be safely applied. Preliminary data suggests that mitoPO2 in neonates responds to perturbations in physiological status.
