Abstract
ABSTRACT Background : Increased plasma lactate levels in patients with sepsis may be due to insufficient oxygen delivery, but mitochondrial dysfunction or accelerated glycolysis may also contribute. We studied the effect of the latter on muscle metabolism by using microdialysis in a sepsis model with sustained oxygen delivery and decreased energy consumption or mitochondrial blockade. Methods : Pigs were subjected to continuous Escherichia coli infusion (sepsis group, n = 12) or saline infusion (sham group, n = 4) for 3 h. Protocolized interventions were applied to normalize the oxygen delivery and blood pressure. Microdialysis catheters were used to monitor muscle metabolism (naïve). The same catheters were used to block the electron transport chain with cyanide or the Na + /K + -ATPase inhibitor, ouabain locally. Results: All pigs in the sepsis group had positive blood cultures and a Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score increase by at least 2, fulfilling the sepsis criteria. Plasma lactate was higher in the sepsis group than in the sham group ( P < 0.001), whereas muscle glucose was lower in the sepsis group ( P < 0.01). There were no changes in muscle lactate levels over time but lactate to pyruvate ratio (LPR) was elevated in the sepsis versus the sham group ( P < 0.05). Muscle lactate, LPR, and glutamate levels were higher in the sepsis group than in the sham group in the cyanide catheters ( P < 0.001, all comparisons) and did not normalize in the former group. Conclusions: In this experimental study on resuscitated sepsis, we observed increased aerobic metabolism and preserved mitochondrial function. Sepsis and electron transport chain inhibition led to increased LPR, suggesting a decreased mitochondrial reserve capacity in early sepsis.

A non-linear mixed effect model for innate immune response: In vivo kinetics of endotoxin and its induction of the cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0211981.

Abstract
Endotoxin, a component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, has been extensively studied as a stimulator of the innate immune response. However, the temporal aspects and exposure-response relationship of endotoxin and resulting cytokine induction and tolerance development is less well defined. The aim of this work was to establish an in silico model that simultaneously captures and connects the in vivo time-courses of endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and associated tolerance development. Data from six studies of porcine endotoxemia in anesthetized piglets (n = 116) were combined and used in the analysis, with purified endotoxin (Escherichia coli O111:B4) being infused intravenously for 1–30 h in rates of 0.063–16.0 μg/kg/h across studies. All data were modelled simultaneously by means of importance sampling in the non-linear mixed effects modelling software NONMEM. The infused endotoxin followed one-compartment disposition and non-linear elimination, and stimulated the production of TNF-α to describe the rapid increase in plasma concentration. Tolerance development, observed as declining TNF-α concentration with continued infusion of endotoxin, was also driven by endotoxin as a concentration-dependent increase in the potency parameter related to TNF-α production (EC50). Production of IL-6 was stimulated by both endotoxin and TNF-α, and four consecutive transit compartments described delayed increase in plasma IL-6. A model which simultaneously account for the time-courses of endotoxin and two immune response markers, the cytokines TNF-α and IL-6, as well as the development of endotoxin tolerance, was successfully established. This model-based approach is unique in its description of the time-courses and their interrelation and may be applied within research on immune response to bacterial endotoxin, or in pre-clinical pharmaceutical research when dealing with study design or translational aspects.

Abstract
Background Severe infection is life-threatening in children with hematologic malignancies and its treatment is challenging because of an increasing number of multidrug-resistant pathogens. Tigecycline has an expanded antibacterial activity spectrum; some successful cases of tigecycline treatment have been reported in the literature. Objective To examine the efficacy and safety of tigecycline in children. Setting Department of hematologic malignancies in a tertiary hospital. Method A retrospective chart review from May 1, 2012 to May 1, 2017. The patients were identified by the hospital information system and a custom-made Microsoft Excel 2007 database of patients was created to record demographic and medical data. Main outcome measure Efficacy and safety of tigecycline use in severe infection children with hematologic malignancies. Results Thirty-seven patients were enrolled and the predominant diagnosis was acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The median duration of tigecycline therapy was 9 days. Most prescriptions were empirical. Eighteen patients received a maintenance dose of 2 mg/kg q12 h, without a loading dose. Sulperazone was the most frequently prescribed concomitant drug. At the end of tigecycline therapy, improvement was observed in 48.7% of cases. After treatment, interleukin-10 levels notably decreased. The only reported adverse event was a case of tooth discoloration. Conclusion Tigecycline can be used as salvage therapy in children with hematologic malignancy and seems tolerable. Prospective controlled studies are required to definitively evaluate the efficacy and safety of tigecycline in children.

Abstract
Despite continued advances in neonatal medicine, sepsis remains a leading cause of death worldwide in neonatal intensive care units. The clinical presentation of sepsis in neonates varies markedly from that in older children and adults, and distinct acute inflammatory responses results in age-specific inflammatory and protective immune response to infection. This review first provides an overview of the neonatal immune system, then covers current mainstream, and experimental preventive and adjuvant therapies in neonatal sepsis. We also discuss how the distinct physiology of the perinatal period shapes early life immune responses and review strategies to reduce neonatal sepsis-related morbidity and mortality. A summary of studies that characterize immune ontogeny and neonatal sepsis is presented, followed by discussion of clinical trials assessing interventions such as breast milk, lactoferrin, probiotics, and pentoxifylline. Finally, we critically appraise future treatment options such as stem cell therapy, other antimicrobial protein and peptides, and targeting of pattern recognition receptors in an effort to prevent and/or treat sepsis in this highly vulnerable neonatal population.

Rapid Bolus Administration Does not Increase The Extravasation Rate of Albumin: A Randomized Controlled Trial in The Endotoxemic Pig. Shock 2018; 47:514-519. [PMID: 27749758 DOI: 10.1097/shk.0000000000000761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Some experimental data suggest that rapid bolus administration of albumin causes less plasma-expanding effects than slow, continuous infusion. To determine whether rapid bolus administration, in comparison with slow infusion, results in greater extravasation of albumin in experimental septic shock we performed a randomized controlled trial with 32 endotoxemic pigs. The animals were monitored and ventilated with standard intensive care equipment and given 10 mL × kg 5% albumin labeled with Technetium-99m, either as a rapid 15-min bolus (Bolus group, n = 16) or as a 2-h infusion (Infusion group, n = 16). Radioactivity was monitored in plasma, extracellular microdialysate, and urine for 6 h. Physiological parameters were monitored hourly. Radioactivity in the liver, spleen, kidney, and lung was analyzed post mortem.The plasma area under the curve activity0-6 h was 4.4 ± 0.9 × 10 in the Bolus group and 4.4 ± 1.1 × 10 counts × min × mL × h in the Infusion group. Blood hemoglobin levels increased in both groups, suggesting severe capillary leakage. Yet, there were no group differences in albumin radioactivity in plasma, muscle tissue, urine, or in the post-mortem analysis of the organs. Following albumin administration, circulatory and respiratory parameters were similar in the two groups.In conclusion, the present results suggest that albumin might be given as a bolus without leading to increased extravasation of albumin, in contrast to previous animal experiments in rodents.
