Abstract
Tranexamic acid (TxA) reduces perioperative blood transfusion in cardiac surgery; however, the optimal dose of TxA remains unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: This large-scale, double-blind, randomized controlled trial with a 1-year follow-up enrolls patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Patients are randomly assigned 1:1 into either the high-dose TxA group (intravenous bolus [30 mg/kg] after anesthesia followed by intravenous maintenance [16 mg/kg/h] throughout the operation, and a pump prime dose of 2 mg/kg) or the low-dose TxA group (intravenous bolus and maintenance are 10 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg/h, respectively, and a pump prime dose of 1 mg/kg). The primary efficacy end point is the rate of perioperative allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion defined as the number (%) of patients who will receive at least 1 RBC unit from operation day to discharge. The primary safety end point is the 30-day rate of the composite of perioperative seizures, renal dysfunction, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and all-cause mortality. The secondary end points are perioperative allogeneic RBC transfusion volume, the non-RBC blood transfusion rate, postoperative bleeding, reoperation rate, mechanical ventilation duration, intensive care unit stay, hospital length of stay, total hospitalization cost, each component of composite primary safety end point, and the 6-month/1-year follow-up mortality and morbidity. We estimated a sample size of 3,008 participants. CONCLUSIONS: The study is designed to identify a TxA dose with maximal efficacy and minimal complications. We hypothesize that the high dose has superior efficacy and noninferior safety to the low dose.

NLRP3/ASC-mediated alveolar macrophage pyroptosis enhances HMGB1 secretion in acute lung injury induced by cardiopulmonary bypass. J Transl Med 2018; 98:1052-1064. [PMID: 29884910 DOI: 10.1038/s41374-018-0073-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 92] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2017] [Revised: 03/16/2018] [Accepted: 04/02/2018] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Our previous study showed that high levels of HMGB1 existed in rats following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and neutralization of high-mobility group box 1(HMGB1) reduced CPB-induced ALI. However, the mechanism by which CPB increases HMGB1 secretion is unclear. Recent studies have shown that inflammasome-mediated cell pyroptosis promotes HMGB1 secretion. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis and HMGB1 in CPB-related ALI. We employed oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced alveolar macrophage (AM) NR8383 pyroptosis to measure HMGB1 secretion. We found that OGD significantly increased the levels of caspase-1 cleaved p10, IL-1β and ASC expression, caspase-1 activity and the frequency of pyroptotic AM, and promoted the cytoplasm transportation and secretion of HMGB1, which were significantly mitigated by ASC silencing or pre-treatment with glyburide (a Nlrp3 inhibitor) in AM. CPB also increased the expression levels of Nlrp3, ASC, caspase-1 P10, and IL-1β, and the percentages of AM pyroptosis in the lungs of experimental rats accompanied by increased levels of serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) HMGB1. Treatment with glyburide significantly mitigated the CPB-increased ASC, caspase-1 p10 and IL-1β expression, and the percentages of AM pyroptosis in the lungs, as well as the levels of HMGB1 in serum and BALF in rats. Therefore, our data indicated that the Nlrp3/ASC-mediated AM pyroptosis increased HMGB1 secretion in ALI induced by CPB. These findings may provide a therapeutic strategy to reduce lung injury and inflammatory responses during CPB.
