Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a lack of reported clinical outcomes after opioid use in acute trauma patients undergoing anesthesia. Data from the Pragmatic, Randomized, Optimal Platelet and Plasma Ratios (PROPPR) study were analyzed to examine opioid dose and mortality. We hypothesized that higher dose opioids during anesthesia were associated with lower mortality in severely injured patients. METHODS PROPPR examined blood component ratios in 680 bleeding trauma patients at 12 level 1 trauma centers in North America. Subjects undergoing anesthesia for an emergency procedure were identified, and opioid dose was calculated (morphine milligram equivalents [MMEs])/h. After separation of those who received no opioid (group 1), remaining subjects were divided into 4 groups of equal size with low to high opioid dose ranges. A generalized linear mixed model was used to assess impact of opioid dose on mortality (primary outcome, at 6 hours, 24 hours, and 30 days) and secondary morbidity outcomes, controlling for injury type, severity, and shock index as fixed effect factors and site as a random effect factor. RESULTS Of 680 subjects, 579 had an emergent procedure requiring anesthesia, and 526 had complete anesthesia data. Patients who received any opioid had lower mortality at 6 hours (odds ratios [ORs], 0.02-0.04; [confidence intervals {CIs}, 0.003-0.1]), 24 hours (ORs, 0.01-0.03; [CIs, 0.003-0.09]), and 30 days (ORs, 0.04-0.08; [CIs, 0.01-0.18]) compared to those who received none (all P < .001) after adjusting for fixed effect factors. The lower mortality at 30 days in any opioid dose group persisted after analysis of those patients who survived >24 hours (P < .001). Adjusted analyses demonstrated an association with higher ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) incidence in the lowest opioid dose group compared to no opioid (P = .02), and lung complications were lower in the third opioid dose group compared to no opioid in those surviving 24 hours (P = .03). There were no other consistent associations of opioid dose with other morbidity outcomes. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that opioid administration during general anesthesia for severely injured patients is associated with improved survival, although the no-opioid group was more severely injured and hemodynamically unstable. Since this was a preplanned post hoc analysis and opioid dose not randomized, prospective studies are required. These findings from a large, multi-institutional study may be relevant to clinical practice.

[PMID: 32509012 PMCID: PMC7271736 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2020.8685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2019] [Accepted: 03/05/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The aims of the present study were to investigate the protective effect of a κ-opioid receptor (KOR) agonist on intestinal barrier dysfunction in rats during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), as well as to examine the role of NF-κB and the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) signaling pathway in the regulatory mechanism. A total of 50 rats were randomly divided into five groups, with 10 rats in each group: Sham surgery group (group Sham), CPB surgery group (group CPB), KOR agonist + CPB (group K), KOR agonist + specific KOR antagonist + CBP (group NK) and KOR agonist + NF-κB pathway specific inhibitor + CPB (group NF). Intestinal microcirculation was evaluated to determine intestinal barrier dysfunction in rats following CPB surgery. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was used to observe intestinal tissue injury in the rats. ELISA was used to detect the inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL10 and tumor necrosis factor-α, and the oxidative stress factors superoxidase dismutase, malondialdehyde and nitric oxide in serum. In addition, ELISA was used to investigate the serum levels of the intestinal damage markers D-lactic acid, diamine oxidase and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein. Western blotting was used to investigate the protein expression levels of tight junction proteins zonula occludens-1 and claudin-1. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry was used to examine intestinal injuries and western blotting was used to detect expression levels of NF-κB/HIF-1α signaling pathway-related proteins. H&E staining results suggested that the KOR agonist alleviated intestinal damage in the CPB model rats. This effect was reversed by the addition of a KOR antagonist. Further investigation of inflammatory and oxidative stress factors using ELISA revealed that the KOR agonist reduced the inflammatory and oxidative stress responses in the intestinal tissues of the CPB model rats. The ELISA results of intestinal damage markers and western blotting results of tight junction protein expression suggested that KOR agonist treatment may alleviate intestinal injury in CPB model rats. In addition, the western blotting and immunohistochemistry results suggested that KOR agonists may decrease the expression levels of NF-κB, p65 and HIF-1α in CPB. Collectively, the present results suggested that KOR agonists are able to ameliorate the intestinal barrier dysfunction in rats undergoing CPB by inhibiting the expression levels of NF-κB/HIF-1α signaling pathway-related proteins.

Abstract
Kidneys have an important role in regulating water volume, blood pressure, secretion of hormones and acid-base and electrolyte balance. Kidney dysfunction derived from acute injury can, under certain conditions, progress to chronic kidney disease. In the late stages of kidney disease, treatment is limited to replacement therapy: Dialysis and transplantation. After renal transplant, grafts suffer from activation of immune cells and generation of oxidant molecules. Anesthetic preconditioning has emerged as a promising strategy to ameliorate ischemia reperfusion injury. This review compiles some significant aspects of renal physiology and discusses current understanding of the effects of anesthetic preconditioning upon renal function and ischemia reperfusion injury, focusing on opioids and its properties ameliorating renal injury. According to the available evidence, opioid preconditioning appears to reduce inflammation and reactive oxygen species generation after ischemia reperfusion. Therefore, opioid preconditioning represents a promising strategy to reduce renal ischemia reperfusion injury and, its application on current clinical practice could be beneficial in events such as acute renal injury and kidney transplantation.

Kappa-opioid receptor agonist U50448H protects against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats via activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2018; 39:97-106. [PMID: 28770825 DOI: 10.1038/aps.2017.51] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2016] [Accepted: 04/05/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is regarded as a leading cause of acute kidney failure and renal dysfunction. Previous studies show that kappa opioid receptor (KOR) agonists can attenuate IRI in cardiomycytes and neuronal cells. In this study we explored the effects of a KOR agonist on renal IRI and the underlying mechanisms in vivo and in vitro. An IRI model was established in SD rats, which were intravenously pretreated with a KOR agonist U50448H (1 mg/kg), a KOR antagonist Nor-BNI (2 mg/kg) followed by U50448H (1 mg/kg), or the PI3K inhibitor wortmannin (1.4 mg/kg) followed by U50448H (1 mg/kg). U50448H pretreatment significantly decreased the serum levels of creatinine (Cr) and BUN, the renal tubular injury scores and the apoptotic index (AI) in IRI model rats. Furthermore, U50448H significantly increased SOD activity and NO levels, and reduced the MDA levels in the kidney tissues of IRI model rats. Moreover, U50448H significantly increased the phosphorylation of Akt, eNOS and PI3K in the kidney tissues of IRI model rats. All the beneficial effects of U50448H were blocked by Nor-BNI or wortmannin pre-administered. Similar results were observed in vitro in renal tubular epithelial NRK-52E cells subjected to a hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR) procedure. Our results demonstrate that the KOR agonist U50448H protects against renal IRI via activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Growth differentiation factor 15 may protect the myocardium from no‑reflow by inhibiting the inflammatory‑like response that predominantly involves neutrophil infiltration. Mol Med Rep 2015; 13:623-32. [PMID: 26647773 PMCID: PMC4686086 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2015.4573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2014] [Accepted: 08/17/2015] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the current study was to investigate the time course of the expression of growth differentiation factor‑15 (GDF‑15) in rat ischemic myocardium with increasing durations of reperfusion, and to elucidate its physiopathological role in the no‑reflow phenomenon. Wistar rats were randomly divided into ischemia reperfusion (I/R) and sham groups, and myocardial I/R was established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery for 1 h followed by reperfusion for 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 h and 7 days whilst rats in the sham group were subjected to a sham operation. The expression levels of GDF‑15 and ICAM‑1 were measured, in addition to myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. The myocardial anatomical no‑reflow and infarction areas were assessed. The area at risk was not significantly different following various periods of reperfusion, while the infarct area and no‑reflow area were significantly greater following 6 h of reperfusion (P<0.05). The mRNA and protein expression levels of GDF‑15 were increased during the onset and development of no‑reflow, and peaked following 24 h of reperfusion. MPO activity was reduced with increasing reperfusion duration, while ICAM‑1 levels were increased. Hematoxylin and eosin staining demonstrated that myocardial neutrophil infiltration was significantly increased by I/R injury, in particular following 2, 4 and 6 h of reperfusion. GDF‑15 expression levels were negatively correlated with MPO activity (r=‑0.55, P<0.001), and the MPO activity was negatively correlated with the area of no‑reflow (r=‑0.46, P<0.01). By contrast, GDF‑15 was significantly positively correlated with ICAM‑1 levels (r=0.52, P<0.01), which additionally were demonstrated to be significantly positively associated with the size of the no‑reflow area (r=0.39, P<0.05). The current study demonstrated the time course effect of reperfusion on the expression of GDF‑15 in the myocardial I/R rat model, with the shorter reperfusion times (6 h) resulting in significant no‑reflow in ischemic myocardium. GDF‑15 may protect the I/R myocardium from no‑reflow by inhibiting the inflammatory‑like response, which involves neutrophil infiltration and transendothelial migration.
