Abstract
Disorders of consciousness after severe brain injury encompass conditions of coma, vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome, and minimally conscious state. DoC clinical presentation pose perplexing challenges to medical professionals, researchers, and families alike. The outcome is uncertain in the first weeks to months after a brain injury, with families and medical providers often making important decisions that require certainty. Prognostication for individuals with these conditions has been the subject of intense scientific investigation that continues to strive for valid prognostic indicators and algorithms for predicting recovery of consciousness. This manuscript aims to provide an overview of the current clinical landscape surrounding prognosis and optimizing recovery in DoC and the current and future research that could improve prognostic accuracy after severe brain injury. Improved understanding of these factors will aid healthcare professionals in providing optimal care, fostering hope, and advocating for ethical practices in the management of individuals with DoC.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Background: Ischemia-reperfusion after cardiac arrest (CA) activates peptidyl arginine deiminase and citrullinated histone H3 (CitH3), which leads to the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). This study attempted to determine the alterations in NET components in post-CA patients as well as analyze the association of NETs with 28-day all-cause mortality. Methods : In this study, 95 patients with restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after CA were included. They were categorized into the survivor group (n = 32) and the nonsurvivor group (n = 63) according to their 28-day survival statuses. The control group comprised 20 healthy individuals. The blood samples were collected from the patients on days 1, 3, and 7 after ROSC and from the control subjects at the time of enrollment. The serum cell-free DNA (cfDNA) level was determined using the fluorescent labeling method, and the serum concentrations of NET components, including CitH3, myeloperoxidase, neutrophil elastase, and nucleosomes, were estimated using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results : Compared with the control group, the serum NET components were significantly increased in the patients 1 week after ROSC (all P < 0.05). These components were significantly higher in the nonsurvivor group than in the survivor group (all P < 0.05). Spearman correlational analysis revealed that the components were positively correlated with Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores (both P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that serum cfDNA, CitH3, and nucleosomes on days 1 and 3 after ROSC were independent predictors of 28-day all-cause mortality. Furthermore, these parameters on day 1 after ROSC had the biggest areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (0.876, 0.862, and 0.861, respectively). Conclusions: Elevated serum levels of cfDNA, CitH3, myeloperoxidase, neutrophil elastase, and nucleosomes were positively correlated with disease severity after ROSC. However, only serum CitH3, cfDNA, and nucleosomes on day 1 after ROSC showed a good predictive value for 28-day all-cause mortality.

Triglyceride-glucose index is associated with the occurrence and prognosis of cardiac arrest: a multicenter retrospective observational study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:190. [PMID: 37501144 PMCID: PMC10375765 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01918-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is an efficient indicator of insulin resistance and is proven to be a valuable marker in several cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship between TyG index and cardiac arrest (CA) remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the association of the TyG index with the occurrence and clinical outcomes of CA. METHODS In this retrospective, multicenter, observational study, critically ill patients, including patients post-CA, were identified from the eICU Collaborative Research Database and evaluated. The TyG index for each patient was calculated using values of triglycerides and glucose recorded within 24 h of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. In-hospital mortality and ICU mortality were the primary clinical outcomes. Logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS), and correlation analyses were performed to explore the relationship between the TyG index and clinical outcomes. Propensity score matching (PSM), overlap weighting (OW), and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) were adopted to balance the baseline characteristics of patients and minimize selection bias to confirm the robustness of the results. Subgroup analysis based on different modifiers was also performed. RESULTS Overall, 24,689 critically ill patients, including 1021 patients post-CA, were enrolled. The TyG index was significantly higher in patients post-CA than in those without CA (9.20 (8.72-9.69) vs. 8.89 (8.45-9.41)), and the TyG index had a moderate discrimination ability to identify patients with CA from the overall population (area under the curve = 0.625). Multivariate logistic regression indicated that the TyG index was an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality (OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.03-1.58) and ICU mortality (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.02-1.58) in patients post-CA. RCS curves revealed that an increased TyG index was linearly related to higher risks of in-hospital and ICU mortality (P for nonlinear: 0.225 and 0.271, respectively). Even after adjusting by PSM, IPTW, and OW, the TyG index remained a risk factor for in-hospital mortality and ICU mortality in patients experiencing CA, which was independent of age, BMI, sex, etc. Correlation analyses revealed that TyG index was negatively correlated with the neurological status of patients post-CA. CONCLUSION Elevated TyG index is significantly associated with the occurrence of CA and higher mortality risk in patients post-CA. Our findings extend the landscape of TyG index in cardiovascular diseases, which requires further prospective cohort study.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia was recommended as the only neuroprotective treatment in comatose patients after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). With new evidence suggesting a similar neuroprotective effect of 36 °C and 33 °C, the term "therapeutic hypothermia" was substituted by "targeted temperature management" in 2011, which in turn was replaced by the term "temperature control" in 2022 because of new evidence of the similar effects of target normothermia and 33 °C. However, there is no clear consensus on the efficacy of therapeutic hypothermia. In this article, we provide an overview of the recent evidence from basic and clinical research related to therapeutic hypothermia and re-evaluate its application as a post-ROSC neuroprotective intervention in clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ion shift index (ISI) as a prognostic indicator that can show the severity of hypoxic-ischemic injury. We aimed to evaluate the performance of the ISI in predicting unfavorable neurological outcomes at hospital discharge in cardiac arrest (CA) patients following extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and to compare its performance to other prognostic predictors. METHODS This was a retrospective observational study including adult CA patients treated with ECPR between January 2018 and December 2022 in a tertiary hospital. Data regarding clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters were collected from medical records. The ISI was determined based on the first available serum electrolyte levels after ECPR. The primary outcome was unfavorable neurological status at hospital discharge, defined as Cerebral Performance Categories 3-5. Comparisons of the characteristics between the two groups were made using the χ2 test for categorical variables and the t-test or non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test for continuous variables, as appropriate. Correlation analysis was performed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. A two-tailed P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Among the 122 patients involved, 46 (37.7%) had out-of-hospital CA, and 88 had unfavorable neurological outcomes. The ISI was significantly higher in the unfavorable outcome group than in the favorable outcome group (3.74 [3.15-4.57] vs. 2.69 [2.51-3.07], P<0.001). A higher ISI level was independently related to unfavorable outcome (odds ratio=6.529, 95% confidence interval 2.239-19.044, P=0.001). An ISI level >3.12 predicted unfavorable outcomes with a sensitivity and specificity of 74.6% and 85.2%, respectively (P<0.001). The prognostic performance of ISI (area under the curve [AUC]=0.887) was similar to that of other predictors, such as gray-to-white matter ratio (AUC=0.850, P=0.433) and neuron-specific enolase (AUC=0.925, P=0.394). CONCLUSION ISI may be used as a prognostic biomarker to predict neurological outcomes in CA patients following ECPR.

Abstract
For the past two decades, targeted temperature management (TTM) has been a staple in the care of comatose survivors following cardiac arrest. However, recent clinical trials have failed to replicate the benefit seen in earlier studies, bringing into question the very existence of such clinical practice. In this review, we explore clinical scenarios within critical care that appeared to share a similar fate, but in actuality changed the landscape of practice in a modern world. Accordingly, clinicians may apply these lessons to the utilization of TTM among comatose survivors following cardiac arrest, potentially paving way for a re-framing of clinical care amidst an environment where current data appears upside down in comparison to past successes.

Abstract
After restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) following cardiac arrest, complements can be activated and excessive autophagy can contribute to the brain ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Mild hypothermia (HT) protects against brain I/R injury after ROSC, but the mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Here, we found that HT significantly inhibited the increases in serum NSE, S100β, and C5a, as well as neurologic deficit scores, TUNEL-positive cells, and autophagic vacuoles in the pig brain cortex after ROSC. The C5a receptor 1 (C5aR1) mRNA and the C5a, C5aR1, Beclin 1, LC3-II, and cleaved caspase-3 proteins were significantly increased, but the P62 protein and the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway-related proteins were significantly reduced in pigs after ROSC or neuronal oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation. HT could significantly attenuate the above changes in NT-treated neurons. Furthermore, C5a treatment induced autophagy and apoptosis and reduced the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway-related proteins in cultured neurons, which could be reversed by C5aR1 antagonist PMX205. Our findings demonstrated that C5a could bind to C5aR1 to induce neuronal autophagy during the brain I/R injury, which was associated with the inhibited PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. HT could inhibit C5a-induced neuronal autophagy by regulating the C5a-C5aR1 interaction and the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, which might be one of the neuroprotective mechanisms underlying I/R injury. The C5a receptor 1 (C5aR1) mRNA and the C5a, C5aR1, Beclin 1, LC3-II, and cleaved caspase-3 proteins were significantly increased, but the P62 protein and the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway-related proteins were significantly reduced in pigs after ROSC or neuronal oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation. Mild hypothermia (HT) could significantly attenuate the above changes in NT-treated neurons. Furthermore, C5a treatment induced autophagy and apoptosis and reduced the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway-related proteins in cultured neurons, which could be reversed by C5aR1 antagonist PMX205. Proposed mechanism by which HT protects against brain I/R injury by repressing C5a-C5aR1-induced excessive autophagy. Complement activation in response to brain I/R injury generates C5a that can interact with C5aR1 to inactivate mTOR, probably through the PI3K-AKT pathway, which can finally lead to autophagy activation. The excessively activated autophagy ultimately contributes to cell apoptosis and brain injury. HT may alleviate complement activation and then reduce C5a-induced autophagy to protect against brain I/R injury. HT, mild hypothermia; I/R, ischemia reperfusion.

Abstract
Predicting neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest remains a major issue. This study aimed to identify novel biomarkers capable of predicting neurological prognosis after cardiac arrest. Expression profiles of GSE29540 and GSE92696 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between high and low brain performance category (CPC) scoring subgroups. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to screen key gene modules and crossover genes in these datasets. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of crossover genes was constructed from the STRING database. Based on the PPI network, the most important hub genes were identified by the cytoHubba plugin of Cytoscape software. Eight hub genes (RPL27, EEF1B2, PFDN5, RBX1, PSMD14, HINT1, SNRPD2, and RPL26) were finally screened and validated, which were downregulated in the group with poor neurological prognosis. In addition, GSEA identified critical pathways associated with these genes. Finally, a Pearson correlation analysis showed that the mRNA expression of hub genes EEF1B2, PSMD14, RPFDN5, RBX1, and SNRPD2 were significantly and positively correlated with NDS scores in rats. Our work could provide comprehensive insights into understanding pathogenesis and potential new biomarkers for predicting neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest.
