Abstract
Background Brucella infection is uncommon among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in non-endemic areas, and the occurrence of both peritonitis and abdominal aortitis is rare. Case presentation In December 2023, a 63-year-old male patient undergoing PD was admitted to Shaoxing Second Hospital due to fever, abdominal pain, and cloudy dialysate. Upon physical examination, diffuse mild abdominal pain and tenderness were observed. Subsequent investigation into the patient's medical history revealed consumption of freshly slaughtered lamb from local farmers 3 days prior to the onset of symptoms. Various diagnostic tests, including routine blood tests, procalcitonin levels, and PD fluid analysis, indicated the presence of infection. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed localized lumen widening of the abdominal aorta with surrounding exudative changes. On the sixth day in the hospital, blood and PD fluid cultures confirmed Brucella melitensis infection. The patient was diagnosed with brucella-associated peritonitis and aortitis. Treatment was adjusted to include rifampin and doxycycline for 6 weeks, and the decision was made to keep the PD catheter. Remarkably, the patient exhibited resolution of peritonitis and abdominal aortitis within the initial week of the adjusted treatment. Currently, the patient continues to receive ongoing clinical monitoring. Conclusion Brucella is rare but can cause PD-associated peritonitis and arteritis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment can lead to a good outcome in PD patients. Dual therapy is effective, but the need for catheter removal is unclear. Consider international guidelines and patient factors when deciding on catheter removal.

Abstract
Spontaneous and secondary peritoneal infections, mostly of bacterial origin, easily spread to cause severe sepsis. Cellular and humoral elements of the innate immune system are constitutively present in peritoneal cavity and omentum, and play an important role in peritonitis progression and resolution. This review will focus on the description of the anatomic characteristics of the peritoneal cavity and the composition and function of such innate immune elements under both steady-state and bacterial infection conditions. Potential innate immune-based therapeutic interventions in bacterial peritonitis alternative or adjunctive to classical antibiotic therapy will be briefly discussed.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and the inhibitor of their formation, aminoguanidine, on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) production (as a functional marker) by rat peritoneal macrophages (PMΦ).DesignCharles River rats underwent a daily intraperitoneal injection of peritoneal dialysis solution [(PDS), 4.25 g/dL dextrose; Dialine, Travenol, Ashdod, Israel] for a 2-month period (group E). Another group of rats was subjected to the same protocol with the addition of 25 mg/kg aminoguanidine (group A). Three control groups were utilized: ( 1 ) rats that were injected daily with aminoguanidine only (group AO), ( 2 ) rats that were injected with Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (group D), and ( 3 ) rats in which no intervention was carried out (group C). After 2 months, PMΦ were isolated from rat peritoneal effluent and their TNFα production measured by ELISA in cell-free culture supernatants, in both the basal state and after 24-hour stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The concentrations of AGEs in peritoneal effluent were assayed and correlated to TNFα levels. PMΦ obtained from normal rats were then incubated for 24 hours with ( 1 ) the peritoneal effluent of each of the above respective groups, with or without LPS; ( 2 ) increasing concentrations of AGEs (0 - 250 μg/mL); and ( 3 ) increasing concentrations of aminoguanidine (0 - 7.5 mg/mL), and TNFα secretion again determined.ResultsAfter 2 months of daily intraperitoneal injection of PDS, in the basal state, TNFα production was significantly higher in PMΦ isolated from the peritoneal effluent groups (groups E, A, and AO) compared to controls (group C). Following LPS stimulation, a further increase in TNFα secretion was seen, with a significantly greater response in group AO versus groups E, A, and D. Effluent AGEs were markedly elevated only in group E. No correlation was found between TNFα secretion by these PMΦ and the concentration of AGEs. On incubation with the respective peritoneal effluents (groups E, A, and AO), in both the basal and stimulated state, TNFα production by PMΦ from normal rats was significantly enhanced compared to group C. Incubation with increasing concentrations of AGEs or aminoguanidine resulted in an increase of TNFα secretion by these PMΦ.ConclusionsFollowing intermittent intraperitoneal administration of glucose-based PDS, rat PMΦ are chronically activated, as evidenced by increased basal TNFα secretion. The peritoneal effluent of such treated animals is capable of stimulating TNFα production by normal rat PMΦ. These data suggest that glucose-based PDS acts as a primer of PMΦ, which retain their ability to further stimulation by LPS. Although, in vitro, AGEs promote TNFα secretion by normal rat PMΦ, in vivo, their influence is probably modulated by other factors. Aminoguanidine has a specific inducing effect on rat PMΦ, independent of glucose-based PDS.

Abstract
Objective To assess the possible effects of peritonitis on peritoneal and systemic acid-base status. Design pH, pCO2, lactate, and total leukocyte and differential count were simultaneously determined in the overnight dwell peritoneal dialysis effluent (PDE) and arterial blood in noninfected patients (controls) and on days 1, 3, and 5 from the onset of peritonitis. Setting University multidisciplinary dialysis program. Patients Prospective analysis of 63 peritonitis episodes occurring in 30 adult CAPD patients in a single center. Results In controls, mean (±SD) acid-base parameters were pH 7.41 ±0.05, pCO2 43.5±2.6 mm Hg, lactate 2.5±1.5 mmol/L in the PDE, and pH 7.43±0.04, PaCO2 36.8±3.8 mm Hg, lactate 1.4±0.7 mmol/L in the blood. In sterile (n=6), gram-positive (n=34), and Staphylococcus aureus (n=9) peritonitis PDE pH's on day 1 were, respectively, 7. 29±0.07, 7. 32±0.07, and 7.30±0.08 (p<0.05 vs control). In gram -negative peritonitis (n=14) PDE pH was 7.21 ±0.08 (p<0.05 vs all other groups). A two-to-threefold increase in PDE lactate was observed in all peritonitis groups, but a rise in pCO2 was only seen in gram -negative peritonitis. Acid-base profile of PDE had returned to control values by day 3 in sterile, gram -positive and Staphylococcus aureus peritonitis and by day 5 in gramnegative peritonitis. Despite a slight increase in plasma lactate on the first day of peritonitis, arterial blood pH was not affected by peritonitis. Conclusion PDE pH is decreased in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) peritonitis, even in the absence of bacterial growth. In gram-negative peritonitis, PDE acidosis is more pronounced and prolonged, and pCO2 is markedly increased. Arterial blood pH is not affected by peritonitis.

Abstract
Objective To study the effect of dialysis fluid on the release of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) by peritoneal macrophages (PM) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNC), and the time course and factors involved in this effect Design PM and MNC were incubated for various periods with Dianeal itself, or Dianeal of varying pH and composition.IL-1 β was measured by radioimmunoassay and TNFα by cytotoxicity assay. Patients PM were obtained by centrifugation of dialysis effluent from 3 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. MNC were obtained from healthy volunteers. Results Dialysis fluid inhibited the release of both cytokines. Indomethacin had no effect on the inhibition of TNFα release caused by dialysis fluid. Thus prostaglandins are not involved in this inhibition. Solutions of pH 5.2 and high lactate concentration caused an identical inhibition to that caused by dialysate, whereas the presence or absence of glucose had no effect. Thus it seems that pH and lactate are the important inhibitory factors. Time course studies showed that the inhibition of TNFα release was substantial after only 15 minutes of incubation with dialysate, whereas the inhibition of IL-1 β became significant only after 60 minutes of incubation. Conclusions Even though dialysate pH rises within 15–30 minutes after instillation into the abdomen, the initial low pH present for only a short time could have a significant effect on TNFα release by peritoneal macrophages, and thus on their ability to mount a normal inflammatory response. Lactate also has a significant inhibitory role. It is suggested that commercial dialysis solutions should have a pH of 7. Oandthata physiological buffer other than lactate be used.

Abstract
Conventional peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF) is a bioincompatible solution owing to the acidic pH, the high glucose concentrations and the associated hyperosmolarity, the high lactate concentrations, and the presence of glucose degradation products (GDPs). This unphysiologic composition adversely affects peritoneal host defense and may thus contribute to the development of PD-related peritonitis. The viability of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, monocytes, peritoneal macrophages, and mesothelial cells is severely depressed in the presence of conventional PDF. In addition, the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemoattractants by these cells is markedly affected by conventional PDF. Further, conventional PDF hampers the recruitment of circulating leukocytes in response to an infectious stimulus. Finally, phagocytosis, respiratory burst, and bacterial killing are markedly lower when polymorphonuclear leukocytes, monocytes, and peritoneal macrophages are exposed to conventional PDF. Although there are a few discrepant results, all major PDF components have been implicated as causative factors. Generally, novel PDF with alternative osmotic agents or with alternative buffers, neutral pH, and low GDP content have much milder inhibitory effects on peritoneal host defense. Clinical studies, however, still need to demonstrate their superiority with respect to the incidence of PD-related peritonitis.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the influence of the plasticizer metabolites of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), mono(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (ME HP), 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH), and phthalic acid (PA) on various immune functions of poly-morphonuclear blood leukocytes (PMNL) and monocytes (MN). ME HP, 2-EH, and PA are the main hydrolysis products of DE HP. Since DE HP is leached out of the plastic matrix, patients on hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis are exposed to considerable amounts of DE HP and its metabolites. Setting Teaching hospital, Department of Nephrology. Participants Ten healthy volunteers. Measurements After incubation of leukocytes in solutions with different plasticizer concentrations, oxidative respiratory metabolism was determined by luminolenhanced chemiluminescence (CL) after stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Furthermore, superoxide (02) generation was measured by cytochrome c reduction. Results At pH 5.4, a dose-dependent decrease of luminol-enhanced CL response was found in all assays. For ME HP and PA the level of significance was reached at 10 mg/L and 1 mg/L, respectively. Superoxide generation by PMNL and MN at pH 5.4 was also suppressed by ME HP and PA. At pH 7.4, only a slight suppression of oxidative metabolism at higher concentrations was observed. After incubation of the cells in a solution containing all DE HP metabolites (ME HP, PA, and 2-EH), a significant suppressive effect of CL at pH 5.4 could be observed at final plasticizer concentrations of 0.5 mg/L. Conclusions A dose-dependent impairment of leukocyte oxidative metabolism at a low pH could be demonstrated. The suppressive effect was particularly marked after incubation of the cells in solutions containing a mixture of the main plasticizers. At pH 5.4, we observed a slight alteration even at concentrations very close to those that could be found in commercially available peritoneal dialysis fluids. These results might point toward a possible synergistic detrimental effect of the different DE HP metabolites on leukocyte function, with possible clinical relevance.

Abstract
Objective To assess effects of the inflammatory cytokines (IL-1-beta, TNF-alpha, TGF-beta 1) and dialysate effluent on synthesis of hyaluronic acid by human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HMC) in in vitro culture. Methods Dialysate effluent was collected after the overnight dwell of DianeaI 1.5% from patients during CAPD training. HMC were obtained from omentum from nonuremic donors or were harvested from the dialysate effluent from CAPD patients. Synthesis of hyaluronic acid was studied on monolayers of HMC, which were deprived of serum 48 hours priortoexperiment. Effects of cytokines were tested in a medium with low serum concentration (0.1%) or in medium mixed (1:1 v/v) with the autologous dialysate. Hyaluronic acid level in medium was measured with radioimmunoassay. Results Cytokines enhanced synthesis of hyaluronic acid by HMC, and the strongest effect was induced by IL-1. Effluent dialysate stimulates synthesis of hyaluronic acid stronger than 10% FCS. Effluent dialysate and IL-1 synergistically enhance synthesis of hyaluronic acid by HMC. Conclusion Effluent dialysate from CAPD patients stimulates production of hyaluronic acid by HMC and acts synergistically with cytokines.

Abstract
Commercially available solutions for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPO) affect the viability and function of the cells in the peritoneal cavity. The low biocompatibility of the solutions may be caused by a low pH, hyperosmolality, high glucose content, and lack of potassium, glutamine, and other components essential for normal cellular functions. The nature of the buffer employed is also important for the cytotoxicity of the solutions. Lactate, the most frequently used buffer, has been shown to inhibit cellular functions important for the peritoneal defense system including phagocytosis, bacterial killing, and secretion of cytokines. It is generally believed that the cytotoxicity of lactate is caused by lowering of intracellular pH and impairment of metabolism due to changed redox potentials. However, the cytotoxicity of lactate is highly dependent upon the pH of the solutions, indicating that passive or active diffusion across the cell membrane is determining the effects of lactate. Bicarbonate has been heavily advocated as an alternative buffer because it is the most important naturally occurring buffer in plasma and it enables a pH of approximately 7.4 in the solutions. However, due to sedimentation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and production of toxic glucose metabolites it is difficult to prepare and store bicarbonate-based solutions. Moreover, investigations have revealed that even bicarbonate-based solutions are not optimal regarding biocompatibility, presumably due to a paradoxical intracellular acidification caused by influx of carbon dioxide (CO2). More recently, the effect of other buffers such as pyruvate and histidine have been examined. Especially pyruvate is a promising new buffer candidate. Conventional CAPD solutions based on lactate have been shown to impair a wide variety of cell functions important for the peritoneal host defense. Apart from the influence of hyperosmolality, high glucose concentration, lack of potassium, glutamine, and other factors, this seems to be due to the combination of low pH and high lactate concentration. Presumably, lactate carries protons across the membrane, which results in intracellular acidification and increased intracellular lactate concentration, both of which may impair cell metabolism and function. Bicarbonate-based solutions are less toxic than lactate-based solutions -primarily attributable to the higher pH. However, experiments performed by our group have indicated that bicarbonate concentrations that are too high may also affect cell function, and that a solution containing both bicarbonate and lactate may be superior. However, further studies are needed to fully elucidate this problem. Pyruvate seems to be a promising new buffer candidate with lower toxicity than lactate solutions at identical pH and glucose content. Comparison of pyruvate, lactate, and bicarbonate solutions regarding cytotoxicity and especially intracellular acidification will hopefully shed new light on the toxic properties of these solutions.

Abstract
Objective Several cytokines and proteins are excreted intraperitoneally during the course of peritonitis and stable states in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Dialysate hyaluronan (HYA) is also regarded as a marker of peritoneal healing during bacterial peritonitis. We examined here, intraperitoneal HYA production in stable CAPD patients and compared the results to those of the peritoneal equilibration test (PET), the length of time on dialysis, and other marker proteins. Design We determined the concentration of HYA and other marker proteins in the 4-hour-dwell dialysate at 1-year intervals. Setting CAPD unit in Hitachi General Hospital. Patients The subjects were 46 stable CAPD patients who underwent 104 PETs. Results A correlation was found between the length of time on dialysis and the amount of HYA excretion in the 4-hr-dwell dialysate ( r = 0.403, p < 0.001). A positive but weak correlation was found between the dialysate-to-plasma ratio of the creatinine concentration and dialysate HYA excretion ( r = 0.229, p < 0.05). Seven patients were over the 90th percentile in both the concentration of HYA (>349.2 ng/mL) and the amount of HYA (>743.6 μg/4-hr dwell). Five patients exceeded 1000 μg of HYA excretion in the 4-hr-dwell dialysate, 4 of whom showed an abrupt increase of HYA excretion to more than 1000 μg/4-hr dwell, and discontinued CAPD within 6 months due to ultrafiltration failure. Two of these 4 patients were diagnosed with sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis at autopsy. Conclusion Intraperitoneal HYA production increased with both higher permeable membrane and the length of time on CAPD. Monitoring of HYA in the peritoneal dialysate may be useful as a marker to assess functional and morphological changes in the peritoneum in long-term CAPD patients.

Abstract
Infectious peritonitis is a common complication in patients undergoing chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD), limiting the duration of PD as a modality for renal replacement therapy and increasing patient morbidity and mortality. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) serve critical roles in mucosal defense, but their expression and activity during peritonitis are poorly understood. We hypothesized that AMPs belonging to the Ribonuclease (RNase) A Superfamily are present in peritoneal fluid and increase during peritonitis in patients undergoing chronic PD. In the absence of peritonitis, we detected RNase 3, RNase 6, and RNase 7 in cell-free supernatants and viable cells obtained from peritoneal fluid of chronic PD patients. The cellular sources of these RNases were eosinophils (RNase 3), macrophages (RNase 6), and mesothelial cells (RNase 7). During peritonitis, RNase 3 increased 55-fold and RNase 7 levels increased 3-fold on average, whereas RNase 6 levels were unchanged. The areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curves for RNase 3 and RNase 7 were 0.99 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.96-1.0) and 0.79 (95% CI: 0.64-0.93), respectively, indicating their potential as biomarkers of peritonitis. Discrete omental reservoirs of these RNases were evident in patients with end stage kidney disease prior to PD initiation, and omental RNase 3 reactive cells increased in patients undergoing PD with a history of peritonitis. We propose that constitutive and inducible pools of antimicrobial RNases form a network to shield the peritoneal cavity from microbial invasion in patients undergoing chronic PD.

Abstract
Peritonitis is the most common complication in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis caused by Brucella species has been reported in only 7 patients before. Here, we report a further case of Brucella peritonitis. This patient was successfully treated with both intraperitoneal and prolonged oral antibiotics, without removal of the PD catheter. We review relevant literature and make recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of Brucella PD-related peritonitis from the cumulative published clinical experience.

Characterization of human peritoneal monocyte/macrophage subsets in homeostasis: Phenotype, GATA6, phagocytic/oxidative activities and cytokines expression. Sci Rep 2018; 8:12794.

Abstract
Peritoneal macrophages play a critical role in the control of infectious and inflammatory diseases. Although recent progress on murine peritoneal macrophages has revealed multiple aspects on their origin and mechanisms involved in their maintenance in this compartment, little is known on the characteristics of human peritoneal macrophages in homeostasis. Here, we have studied by flow cytometry several features of human peritoneal macrophages obtained from the peritoneal cavity of healthy women. Three peritoneal monocyte/macrophage subsets were established on the basis of CD14/CD16 expression (CD14++CD16−, CD14++CD16+ and CD14highCD16high), and analysis of CD11b, CD11c, CD40, CD62L, CD64, CD80, CD86, CD116, CD119, CD206, HLA-DR and Slan was carried out in each subpopulation. Intracellular expression of GATA6 and cytokines (pro-inflammatory IL-6 and TNF-α, anti-inflammatory IL-10) as well as their phagocytic/oxidative activities were also analyzed, in an attempt to identify genuine resident peritoneal macrophages. Results showed that human peritoneal macrophages are heterogeneous regarding their phenotype, cell complexity and functional abilities. A direct relationship of CD14/CD16 expression, intracellular content of GATA6, and activation/maturation markers like CD206 and HLA-DR, support that the CD14highCD16high subset represents the mature phenotype of steady-state human resident peritoneal macrophages. Furthermore, increased expression of CD14/CD16 is also related to the phagocytic activity.

Abstract
Effect of peritoneal dialysis fluids on glutathione (GSH/GSSG) level in human peritoneal mesothelial cells was tested in in vitro experiments. To mimic in vivo conditions, cells were initially exposed to dialysis fluids (Dianeal 1.36%, Dianeal 2.27%, Dianeal 3.86%) that subsequently were diluted with dialysate effluent at time intervals. GSH/GSSG concentration in cells initially decreased but returned to normal values thereafter. This decrease in the intracellular concentration of glutathione was less when pH of the tested dialysis fluid was adjusted to 7.3. In further experiments with mesothelial cells exposed to Earle's salts solution supplemented with glucose and/or lactate, we have shown that in the presence of low pH, lactate is the main factor causing depletion of intracellular glutathione. When added to the dialysis solution at a concentration of 0.1 mM, L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate, a precursor of glutathione, not only prevents the initial decrease in glutathione concentration but also augments the final intracellular level of this thiol.

Biomarker research to improve clinical outcomes of peritoneal dialysis: consensus of the European Training and Research in Peritoneal Dialysis (EuTRiPD) network. Kidney Int 2017; 92:824-835.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy substantially requires biomarkers as tools to identify patients who are at the highest risk for PD-related complications and to guide personalized interventions that may improve clinical outcome in the individual patient. In this consensus article, members of the European Training and Research in Peritoneal Dialysis Network (EuTRiPD) review the current status of biomarker research in PD and suggest a selection of biomarkers that can be relevant to the care of PD patients and that are directly accessible in PD effluents. Currently used biomarkers such as interleukin-6, interleukin-8, ex vivo-stimulated interleukin-6 release, cancer antigen-125, and advanced oxidation protein products that were collected through a Delphi procedure were first triaged for inclusion as surrogate endpoints in a clinical trial. Next, novel biomarkers were selected as promising candidates for proof-of-concept studies and were differentiated into inflammation signatures (including interleukin-17, M1/M2 macrophages, and regulatory T cell/T helper 17), mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition signatures (including microRNA-21 and microRNA-31), and signatures for senescence and inadequate cellular stress responses. Finally, the need for defining pathogen-specific immune fingerprints and phenotype-associated molecular signatures utilizing effluents from the clinical cohorts of PD patients and "omics" technologies and bioinformatics-biostatistics in future joint-research efforts was expressed. Biomarker research in PD offers the potential to develop valuable tools for improving patient management. However, for all biomarkers discussed in this consensus article, the association of biological rationales with relevant clinical outcomes remains to be rigorously validated in adequately powered, prospective, independent clinical studies.

Abstract
Peritonitis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality during chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD). Glucose-based PD fluids reduce immunological defenses in the peritoneal cavity. Low concentrations of peritoneal extracellular glutamine during PD may contribute to this immune deficit. For these reasons we have developed a clinical assay to measure the function of the immune-competent cells in PD effluent from PD patients. We then applied this assay to test the impact on peritoneal immune-competence of PD fluid supplementation with alanyl-glutamine (AlaGln) in 6 patients in an open-label, randomized, crossover pilot trial (EudraCT 2012-004004-36), and related the functional results to transcriptome changes in PD effluent cells. Ex-vivo stimulation of PD effluent peritoneal cells increased release of interleukin (IL) 6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α. Both IL-6 and TNF-α were lower at 1 h than at 4 h of the peritoneal equilibration test but the reductions in cytokine release were attenuated in AlaGln-supplemented samples. AlaGln-supplemented samples exhibited priming of IL-6-related pathways and downregulation of TNF-α upstream elements. Results from measurement of cytokine release and transcriptome analysis in this pilot clinical study support the conclusion that suppression of PD effluent cell immune function in human subjects by standard PD fluid is attenuated by AlaGln supplementation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Uric acid (UA) is the product of purine or nucleotide metabolism via the pathway of xanthine oxidase or xanthine dehydrogenase. Although epidemiological studies assessing the role of UA in cardiovascular disease or mortality have produced inconsistent results, the correlation between UA and technique failure in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) remains to be assessed. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING Patients starting CAPD between 2001 and 2009 in a single centre in Taiwan. PARTICIPANTS A total of 371 patients on CAPD. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES All-cause and peritonitis-related technique failure. RESULTS A cohort of 371 participants (43.9% male) was enrolled in the study with a mean age of 55.7±15.9 years at the start of CAPD. During the study period, technique failure occurred in 41 (34.4%) patients in the hyperuricaemia group compared with 49 (19.4%) in the normouricaemia group (p=0.003). In the multivariate Cox regression models, hyperuricaemia at baseline was significantly associated with both a higher risk of technique failure (HR 1.24; 95% CI 1.09 to 1.42, p=0.001) and peritonitis-related technique failure (HR 1.29; 95% CI 1.07 to 1.57, p=0.008). CONCLUSIONS UA was shown to be associated with all-cause and peritonitis-related technique failure in our study. Patients on CAPD with hyperuricaemia should be closely monitored and strategies of increasing survival on CAPD should be taken.

Abstract
Icodextrin peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution has been shown to increase interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in PD effluent as well as leukocyte and mesothelial cell count. Mesothelial cells release cancer antigen 125 (CA125), which is used as a marker of mesothelial cell mass. This 1-year prospective study was designed to compare peritoneal effluent cell population, its inflammatory phenotype and biocompatibility biomarkers IL-6 and CA125 between icodextrin (E) and glucose bicarbonate/lactate (P) based PD solutions. Using baseline peritoneal ultrafiltration capacity, 19 stable incident PD patients were allocated either to P only (N = 8) or to P plus E for the overnight dwell (N = 11). Flow cytometry was used to measure white blood cell count and differential and the expression of inflammatory molecules on peritoneal cells isolated from timed overnight peritoneal effluents. Compared to P, E effluent showed higher leukocyte (10.9 vs. 7.9), macrophages (6.1 vs. 2.5) and mesothelial cells (0.3 vs. 0.1)×10(6) /L count, as well as expression of HLA DR on mesothelial cells and IL-6 (320.5 vs. 141.2 pg/min) on mesothelial cells and CA125 appearance rate (159.6 vs. 84.3 IU/min), all P < 0.05. In the E group, correlation between IL-6 and CA125 effluent levels (r = 0.503, P < 0.05) as well as appearance rates (r = 0.774, P < 0.001) was demonstrated. No effect on systemic inflammatory markers or peritoneal permeability was found. Icodextrin PD solution activates local inflammation without systemic consequences so the clinical relevance of this observation remains obscure. Correlation between effluent IL-6 and CA125 suggests that CA125 might be upregulated due to inflammation and thus is not a reliable marker of mesothelial cell mass and/or biocompatibility.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), who usually display low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25D) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D), are at high risk of infection, notably those undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). We hypothesized that peritoneal macrophages from PD patients are an important target for vitamin D-induced antibacterial activity. Dialysate effluent fluid was obtained from 27 non-infected PD patients. Flow cytometry indicated that PD cells were mainly monocytic (37.9±17.7% cells CD14+/CD45+). Ex vivo analyses showed that PD cells treated with 25D (100 nM, 6 hrs) or 1,25D (5 nM, 6 hrs) induced mRNA for antibacterial cathelicidin (CAMP) but conversely suppressed mRNA for hepcidin (HAMP). PD cells from patients with peritonitis (n = 3) showed higher baseline expression of CAMP (18-fold±9, p<0.05) and HAMP (64-fold±7) relative to cells from non-infected patients. In 12 non-infected PD patients, oral supplementation with a single dose of vitamin D2 (100,000 IU) increased serum levels of 25D from 18±8 to 41±15 ng/ml (p = 0.002). This had no significant effect on PD cell CD14/CD45 expression, but mRNA for HAMP was suppressed significantly (0.5-fold, p = 0.04). Adjustment for PD cell CD14/CD45 expression using a mixed linear statistical model also revealed increased expression of CAMP (mRNA in PD cells and protein in effluent) in vitamin D-supplemented patients. These data show for the first time that vitamin D supplementation in vitro and in vivo promotes innate immune responses that may enhance macrophage antibacterial responses in patients undergoing PD. This highlights a potentially important function for vitamin D in preventing infection-related complications in CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether peritoneal protein leakage predicts risk for peritonitis in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) is unknown. In this observational cohort study, we aimed to determine that association and, further, to explore if it might be explained by systemic inflammation. ♢ METHODS We prospectively followed 305 incident PD patients to first-episode peritonitis, censoring, or the end of the study. Demographics, comorbidity score, biochemistry, and peritoneal protein clearance (PrC) were collected at baseline. The predictors of first-episode peritonitis were analyzed prospectively. ♢ RESULTS During follow-up, 14 868 patient months and 251 episodes of peritonitis were observed. The baseline PrC was 73.2 mL/day (range: 53.2 - 102 mL/day). Patients with a high PrC were prone to be older and malnourished. They also had a higher comorbidity score and higher C-reactive protein values. In 132 first episodes of peritonitis, baseline PrC was shown to be a significant independent predictor after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, diabetes, residual renal function, hemoglobin, and peritoneal transport rate. Systemic inflammatory markers such as serum albumin, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6 could not explain the association of PrC and high risk for peritonitis. ♢ CONCLUSIONS Baseline peritoneal protein leakage was able to independently predict risk for peritonitis, which is not explained by systemic inflammation. The underlying mechanisms should be explored in future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we compared the activity of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a marker of ongoing peritoneal inflammation and biocompatibility, and its other signaling components, the soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) and soluble Gp130 (sGp130), in peritoneal effluent from patients treated with icodextrin-based (E) peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution and glucose-based bicarbonate/lactate-buffered (P) solution. METHODS Using baseline peritoneal ultrafiltration capacity, 33 stable incident PD patients were allocated either to P only (n = 20) or to P plus E for the overnight dwell (n = 13). We used ELISA to determine IL-6, sIL-6R, and sGp130 in timed overnight effluent at 1, 6, and 12 months after PD initiation. Flow cytometry was used to measure expression of IL-6R and Gp130 on isolated peritoneal leukocytes at the same time points. Peritonitis was an exclusion criterion. RESULTS At all time points, levels of IL-6 and sIL-6R, and the appearance rates of IL-6 (90.5 pg/min vs. 481.1 pg/min, p < 0.001; 138.6 pg/min vs. 1187.5 pg/min, p < 0.001; and 56.1 pg/min vs. 1386.0 pg/min, p < 0.001), sIL-6R (2035.3 pg/min vs. 4907.0 pg/min, p < 0.01; 1375.0 pg/min vs. 6348.4 pg/min, p < 0.01; and 1881.3 pg/min vs. 5437.8 pg/min, p < 0.01), and sGp130 (37.6 ng/min vs. 65.4 ng/min, p < 0.01; 39.2 ng/min vs. 80.6 ng/min, p < 0.01; 27.8 ng/min vs. 71.0 ng/min, p < 0.01) were significantly higher in peritoneal effluent from E-treated patients than from P-treated patients. Expression of IL6-R and Gp130 on individual leukocyte types isolated from PD effluent did not differ between E- and P-treated patients. The numbers of white blood cells present in effluent were higher in E-treated than in P-treated patients at all time points, but no significant differences were seen in the differential counts or in the number of exfoliated mesothelial cells. The IL-6 parameters in effluent from E-treated patients correlated with their plasma C-reactive protein. Despite the increased activation of the IL-6 system, no increase in peritoneal permeability as assessed by the dialysate-to-plasma ratio of creatinine in E effluent or by systemic inflammation was observed throughout the study. CONCLUSIONS Higher levels of IL-6, its soluble receptors, and leukocyte expression were observed in E-treated than in P-treated patients, but this difference was not associated with alterations in peritoneal permeability or systemic inflammation during 1 year of follow-up. Leukocyte counts in effluent from E-treated patients were within the normal range previously reported for glucose solutions. This lack of clinical consequences may be a result of a parallel rise in sIL-6R and sGp130, which are known to control the biologic activity of IL-6. The utility of IL-6 level determinations, in isolation, for assessing the biocompatibility of PD solutions is questionable.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is associated with functional and structural changes of the peritoneal membrane. In this review we describe factors contributing to peritoneal tissue remodeling, including uremia, peritonitis, volume loading, the presence of a catheter, and the PD fluid itself. These factors initiate recruitment and activation of peritoneal cells such as macrophages and mast cells, as well as activation of peritoneal cells, including mesothelial cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. We provide an overview of cytokines, growth factors, and other mediators involved in PD-associated changes. Activation of downstream pathways of cellular modulators can induce peritoneal tissue remodeling, leading to ultrafiltration loss. Identification of molecular pathways, cells, and cytokines involved in the development of angiogenesis, fibrosis, and membrane failure may lead to innovative therapeutic strategies that can protect the peritoneal membrane from the consequences of long-term PD.

Abstract
It remains to be determined whether the peritoneal dialysis procedure induces abnormalities in the normal host defenses of the abdominal cavity and whether these perturbations are important in the pathogenesis of peritonitis. The peritoneum is a smooth membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and participates in the diffusion of water and solutes during peritoneal dialysis. The diaphragmatic lymphatic uptake and the opsonization of micro-organisms, with phagocytosis and killing by peritoneal macrophages, mesothelial cells, lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and newly defined proteins such as defensins, play a combined role in the peritoneal host defense. Because the composition of earlier peritoneal dialysis fluids is clearly non-physiologic, continuous exposure of peritoneal cells to these solutions may result in an impairment of the local peritoneal host defense mechanisms. However, with the newer solutions, it has been shown that peritoneal defense mechanisms may improve.

Abstract
Considering experience acquired in the past years, it seems as though physicians have reached a plateau in the frequency of peritonitis. A peritonitis rate of 1 every 2 patient years may be acceptable. Further reduction of this peritonitis rate will require inordinately large efforts on all fronts. One will have to consider what are the acceptable costs and risks of peritonitis in patients on peritoneal dialysis. New developments in catheter technology, improved connections, better understanding of patient selection and training programs, improved diagnostic and therapeutic methods in the management of peritonitis, and understanding of the infectious and immune processes are eagerly awaited developments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mesothelial cell monolayer lining the peritoneal membrane needs constant repair in response to peritonitis and to the toxicity of peritoneal dialysate. In many continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients, the repair process progressively fails, and membrane dysfunction and fibrosis occur. Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) has an important role in wound repair and is also fibrogenic, and thus may be involved in these processes in the peritoneal cavity. METHODS The presence of HB-EGF, its receptors, and its associated proteins was determined in peritoneal membrane biopsies, cultured human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs), and peritoneal macrophages from CAPD patients by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence immunocytochemistry with confocal microscopy. HB-EGF effects on HPMC adhesion were measured by a static adhesion assay, on integrin expression by flow cytometry, and on migration by wound healing and chemotaxis assays. RESULTS HB-EGF, its receptors HER-1 and HER-4, and the associated proteins CD9, CD44, and integrin alpha(3)beta(1) were expressed by HPMCs and peritoneal macrophages. HB-EGF colocalized with HER-1 and HER-4 in HPMCs and induced their adhesion to collagen type I, expression of beta 1 integrins, and migration. CONCLUSIONS HB-EGF is produced by cells in the peritoneal cavity of CAPD patients and has functional effects on HPMCs that would facilitate repair of the mesothelial layer.

Abstract
In spite of the reduction in peritonitis and catheter-related infection rates in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, these infections remain major sources of morbidity and transfer to haemodialysis. Touch contamination at the time of doing the exchanges is still a major cause of peritonitis and leads to Gram-positive organisms (coagulation-negative staphylococcus) being the most common pathogens. Newer exchange techniques have reduced this incidence but the more serious pathogens (Staphylococcal aureus, pseudomonas and fungi) remain a major problem. Treatment has to be immediate, and hence empirical, giving adequate cover for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. The use of vancomycin as an initial antibacterial has been discontinued because of the problem of vancomycin-resistant enterococcus. Recent guidelines advocate the use of a first generation cephalosporin combined with ceftazidime (if the urine output is >100 ml/day) or an aminoglycoside in anuric patients. Subsequent therapy changes are made upon bacterial isolation and sensitivities. Vancomycin is reserved for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus. Peritoneal catheter-related infections (exit site and tunnel) are predominantly caused by S. aureus and pseudomonal organisms and can be difficult to eradicate. Tunnel infections invariably involve the catheter dacron cuffs and therefore are more likely to lead to peritonitis; in this situation catheter removal is the treatment of choice. Treatment of exit-site infections is with oral antibacterials (penicillinase-resistant penicillins, cefalexin). Vancomycin is avoided if possible. The identification that nasal carriage of S. aureus predisposes to exit-site and tunnel infections has led to prophylactic regimens to combat this problem. Mupirocin applied at the exit site leads to a reduction in catheter-related infections and peritonitis.

Abstract
Colony-stimulating factors are growth factors which induce differentiation of the hematopoietic stem cells. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) stimulates proliferation and improves functions of neutrophils and monocyte/macrophages. A macrophage submesothelial stratum has been suggested to constitute the first line of peritoneal defense. We have tested whether intraperitoneally administered GM-CSF could increase the number and activation of peritoneal macrophages in peritoneal dialysis patients. Eight stable patients injected 17 micrograms of GM-CSF in each of their four daily CAPD bags over three days. The clinical status, the peritoneal effluent and peripheral blood cell count, membrane receptor expression, phagocytosis activity and cytokine levels were monitored at days 0, 1, 3, 10 and 28. GM-CSF administration caused a large increase in peritoneal macrophage number (89-fold mean increase after 72 hr), returning to baseline seven days after withdrawal. GM-CSF triggered an increase in the expression of CD11b/CD18 (CR3) and its counterreceptor CD54, indicating the cellular progression into a more activated state. Both the number of phagocytic cells (55 +/- 15% to 83 +/- 10%, P < 0.05) and the phagocytic index (137 +/- 29 to 255 +/- 61, P < 0.01) were also augmented. Peritoneal effluent cytokine-chemokine levels demonstrated an increase in IL-6 and MCP-1 levels while TNF-alpha, IL-1, IL-8, MIP-1 alpha and RANTES were not significantly altered. GM-CSF administration did not affect the peritoneal transport of water or solutes. Minor side-effects were registered in two patients. In conclusion, intraperitoneal GM-CSF causes a marked and transient recruitment of primed macrophages into the peritoneum without inducing inflammatory parameters. GM-CSF should improve the peritoneal defensive capacity through potentiation of the effector functions of resident and newly-recruited macrophages.

Abstract
Research in recent years has examined the mechanisms underlying cellular host defence in the peritoneal cavity. These studies have established that the resident cells of the peritoneal cavity, the peritoneal macrophages (PM phi) and the mesothelial cells (HPMC) contribute to the initiation, amplification and resolution of peritoneal inflammation. Ex vivo measurements of intra-peritoneal inflammatory mediators during peritonitis has elucidated the time courses for the generation of proinflammatory, chemotactic and anti-inflammatory cytokines and have identified that their secretion occurs largely within the peritoneum. These studies provide evidence that both PM phi- and HPMC-derived mediators are directly involved in controlling inflammation. It has been widely accepted that resident PM phi form the first line of defence against peritoneal infection, a more contemporary view would suggest that the direct or indirect (via secreted pro-inflammatory cytokines) interaction between PM phi and HPMC is pivotal to the activation and subsequent amplification of the peritoneum's response to infection. Whilst the site of these interactions is unknown, considerable evidence suggests that it occurs on the surface of the mesothelium, where invading micro-organisms may colonize. In this respect Staphylococcal exoproducts can directly activate HPMC cytokine synthesis. Once the inflammatory response is initiated, recent evidence suggests, that mesothelial cells upon activation by PM phi-derived IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha, are capable of amplifying inflammation and generating signals (via the creation of a gradient of chemotactic cytokines, IL-8, MCP-1 and RANTES) for the recruitment of leukocytes into the peritoneum. This process is also facilitated via the cytokine driven up-regulation of adhesion molecule expression (ICAM-1 and VCAM-1) on HPMC. Much less is understood about the mechanisms by which inflammation is resolved, although the secretion of anti-inflammatory molecules (IL-6, IL-1ra and soluble TNF-p55/75) by receptors by PM phi and HPMC may be important in the process. The existence of a peritoneal cytokine network controlling inflammation is now well established, within this the interaction of PM phi and HPMC appears to play a pivotal role in the hosts response to peritoneal infection.

Abstract
At present, lactate is the most commonly used buffer in peritoneal dialysis fluids (PDFs). The high lactate concentration in combination with low original pH was demonstrated to suppress phagocytic function. We evaluated the in vitro effects of a newly formulated bicarbonate-buffered PDF containing glycylglycine (BiGG15 and BiGG40; Pierre Fabre Medicament, Castres, France) on peritoneal macrophage (PMO) function, and compared them with those of equiosmolar lactate-buffered PDF (1.5% and 4.25% glucose; pH 5.4 and pH 7.4) and control buffer. Peritoneal macrophages were isolated from the effluents of 10 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients and tested for luminol- and lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence, superoxide (O2-) generation measured by cytochrome c reduction, killing capacity, and phagocytosis after incubation in the PDF used. Exposure of PMO to lactate-buffered PDF with an original pH of 5.4 resulted in a significant suppression of all PMO functions measured, compared with bicarbonate- and lactate-buffered PDFs with a pH of 7.4. At physiological pH (7.4), chemiluminescence generation of PMO exposed to BiGG15/40 was significantly higher compared with the corresponding equiosmolar lactate-buffered PDF (1,992 +/- 858 x 10(3) cpm/10(4) cells v 856 +/- 398 x 10(3) cpm/10(4) cells; P < 0.004). O2- generation, killing capacity, and phagocytosis were not significantly different after PMO exposure to bicarbonate compared with exposure to lactate-buffered PDF with a neutral pH. Irrespective of the buffer used, high-osmolality PDFs suppressed PMO function significantly more than low-osmolar PDFs. In conclusion, bicarbonate-buffered PDFs are less detrimental to PMO function than lactate-containing PDFs; these preliminary in vitro results need to be confirmed in vivo.

Abstract
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) has come to be extensively used for the treatment of end-stage renal failure in children, and especially infants, such that now more than half of children on dialysis worldwide receive treatment by this means. Peritonitis, however, is commoner in children than in adults receiving treatment, and is a major source of morbidity and treatment failure in children started on CAPD. Only recently has the immunology of the normal peritoneum been studied extensively, with the need to assess the impact of the installation of large volumes of fluid into the peritoneal sac during dialysis. The main phagocytic defences of the peritoneum depend upon a unique set of macrophages which are present free in the peritoneal fluid but also in the submesothelium and in perivascular collections together with B lymphocytes in the submesothelial area. Both the number of macrophages per unit volume and the concentration of opsonic proteins, such as IgG, complement and fibronectin, are reduced to between only 1% and 5% when dialysis fluid is continuously present in the peritoneal sac. In addition, the fluids used for CAPD are toxic to both macrophages and to mesothelial cells. Thus minor degrees of contamination frequently lead to peritonitis and in addition the majority of patients have catheters inserted in their peritoneum which become colonised with organisms capable of producing exopolysaccharide (slime), which promotes adhesion of the organism to the plastic and protects them against phagocytic attack and the penetration of antibiotics. Thus the peritoneum is in a state of continual inflammation, as well as being a markedly more vulnerable site than the normal peritoneum to the entry of organisms. Whether clinical peritonitis appears in this state of chronic contamination probably depends on perturbation in the balance between host defences and the organism. Whilst Staphylococcus epidermidis is the commonest cause of peritonitis, Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative organisms are much more serious and more frequently lead either to temporary catheter removal or discontinuation of dialysis altogether. This review describes the peritoneal defences in relation to the genesis of peritonitis.

Abstract
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is known to interfere with the normal inflammatory responses of macrophages in the peritoneal cavity. Commercial peritoneal dialysis solution (CDS) has been shown to inhibit tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) release from LPS stimulated peritoneal macrophages. To further dissect the mechanism of this inhibition, we used human blood-derived macrophages or the murine macrophage cell line, P388D1, that were stimulated with LPS after pretreatment with CDS, and tested TNF alpha mRNA levels by Northern hybridization or reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Time course studies demonstrated that CDS lowered TNF alpha mRNA levels within 15 minutes of pretreatment of cells. In addition, the CDS inhibited DNA binding activity of NF-kappa B that is probably involved in regulation of LPS-mediated transcriptional activation of the TNF alpha gene. Inhibition was dependent on both the low pH and the lactate in the CDS, but was independent of the osmolarity or glucose concentration. The rate of catabolism of TNF alpha mRNA was not affected by CDS as demonstrated by actinomycin D chase experiments. Thus, impairment of LPS-stimulated macrophage function by CDS is associated with low TNF alpha mRNA which may be the result of the low activity of NF-kappa B. Since NF-kappa B is involved in transcription regulation of a large number of "early activation" genes, CDS may interfere with the production of additional immunomodulatory proteins that are encoded by genes possessing NF-kappa B site(s) in their promoter region.

Abstract
The use of low-calcium peritoneal dialysis solutions (PDS) for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is becoming widely accepted to reduce the risk of serum hypercalcemia in patients taking calcium salts as phosphate binders. We compared the in vitro effects of low-calcium PDS (1,000 mumol calcium/L), calcium-free buffer, and buffers with increasing calcium concentrations (500 to 5,000 mumol calcium/L) on peritoneal macrophage (PMO) functions. Peritoneal macrophages isolated from 10 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients were incubated in the different solutions and tested for phagocytic and killing capacity, superoxide generation (cytochrome-C reduction and lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence), and the rate of myeloperoxidase-dependent oxidative metabolism (luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence). All functions of the PMO incubated in calcium-free buffer were significantly suppressed compared with the PMO incubated in calcium buffers. No dose-dependent increase of a single PMO function could be found after incubating the PMO in calcium buffer with increasing concentrations. Incubation of PMO in otherwise identical PDS containing 1,000, 1,450, or 1,750 mumol calcium/L did not result in significantly different PMO functions. Acidic PDS (pH 5.3 to 5.5) suppressed all measured PMO functions as compared with their neutralized counterparts (pH 7.4), irrespective of the calcium concentration. Results of our in vitro study show that low-calcium PDS does not suppress PMO functions any more than standard-calcium PDS (1,750 mumol calcium/L) does.

Abstract
The present study focused on the evaluation of constitutive and cytokine-stimulated human peritoneal mesothelial cell (HPMC) IL-6 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha release following pre-exposure to peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF). Exposure of HPMC to PDF pH 5.2 resulted in a time-dependent increase in cell cytotoxicity [as assessed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release] and concomitant inhibition of constitutive and IL-1 beta stimulated IL-6 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha synthesis. After 15 minutes of exposure to PDF constitutive and IL-1 beta stimulated IL-6 release were reduced by 32.0 +/- 9.7% and 76.0 +/- 7.4% (N = 6, P < 0.046 and P < 0.027, respectively). PCR amplification of reverse transcribed mRNA from HPMC pre-exposed to PDF pH 5.2 demonstrated suppression of IL-1 beta stimulated IL-6 and cyclooxygenase (Cox-1 and Cox-2) transcripts. In order to mimic the dialysis cycle in vivo, an in vitro dialysis system was established. HPMC were exposed first to control medium, PDF pH 5.2 or PDF 7.3 for 15 minutes and then sequentially to pooled spent peritoneal dialysis effluent for up to four hours. The cells were subsequently allowed to recover in control medium for 12 hours in the presence or absence of IL-1 beta or TNF-alpha (both at 1000 pg/ml). There was no evidence of significant cell toxicity as assessed by LDH release during either the 'in vitro dialysis' or 'recovery' phases. Under these conditions short term exposure to PDF pH 5.2 followed by 'in vitro dialysis' resulted in significant inhibition of cytokine stimulated IL-6 (69.6 +/- 18.2 vs. 96.7 +/- 27.9 pg/microgram, N = 13; P < 0.020 for IL-1 beta) and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (197.5 +/- 89.2 vs. 289.6 +/- 114.5 pg/microgram, N = 13; P < 0.020 for IL-1 beta) and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (197.5 +/- 89.2 vs. 289.6 +/- 114.5 pg/microgram, N = 13; P < 0.003) release when compared to cells incubated in control medium. Adjustment of the pH of PDF to 7.3 reversed its inhibitory effects. We conclude that short-term exposure to PDF pH 5.2 significantly inhibits HPMC cytokine and prostaglandin release, an effect which appears to be related to its initial pH. Repeated exposure to nonphysiological PDF might impair mesothelial cell function and thus modulate intraperitoneal inflammatory processes.

Abstract
We performed immunohistochemical studies on biopsies of the parietal peritoneal membrane of 33 subjects to investigate whether other cell populations, in addition to mononuclear cells free in the dialysate, might participate in the defense of the peritoneum against microbial invasion during CAPD. Leukocytes were found to concentrate in two areas: a submesothelial layer composed of elongated macrophages displaying activation and maturation markers, and perivascular, less mature macrophages closely associated with T cells and HLA-DR, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expressing endothelial cells. Normal mesothelial cells were found to express constitutively the transferrin receptor and the adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 but not ELAM-1. There were no major differences between normal and uremic subjects, while peritoneal dialysis patients exhibited minor derangements of the submesothelial layer and slight up-regulation of the expression of HLA-DR on endothelial cells. Peritonitis was associated with increased submesothelial cellularity and, particularly, perivascular leukocyte infiltration accompanied by increased expression of HLA-DR and adhesion molecules. Besides mononuclear cells free in the dialysate, this study demonstrates the existence of two additional peritoneal membrane leukocyte populations: submesothelial macrophages, and perivascular macrophages and T cells. It also suggests the existence of a fourth population of intracavitary leukocytes adherent to mesothelial cells. Studies are now necessary to evaluate their exact role in the host defence against peritonitis during CAPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the stability of ceftazidime, vancomycin, and heparin, alone and in combination, in dialysis solution over six days at three temperatures. DESIGN Nine 250-mL Dianeal PD-2 dextrose 1.5% bags were prepared with ceftazidime, vancomycin, and heparin alone and in combination at set concentrations of 100 micrograms/mL, 50 micrograms/mL, and 1 unit/mL, respectively. Three bags of each mixture were stored at 4, 25, and 37 degrees C. Duplicate samples for analysis were removed from each bag at the following time points: premix, 0, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Each sample was examined visually for signs of cloudiness and precipitation. Each sample was analyzed by stability-indicating HPLC assay for ceftazidime and vancomycin, with stability defined as less than 10 percent degradation of drug over time. RESULTS No color change or precipitation was observed in any bag. Vancomycin with or without heparin was stable for 5-6 days at 4, 25, and 37 degrees C. Ceftazidime with and without heparin was stable for 6 days at 4 degrees C, 4 days at 25 degrees C, and less than 12 hours at 37 degrees C. Vancomycin plus ceftazidime with and without heparin was stable for 6 days at 4 degrees C and 25 degrees C, and 4-5 days at 37 degrees C. Ceftazidime plus vancomycin with or without heparin was stable for 6 days at 4 degrees C, 2-3 days at 25 degrees C, and 12 hours at 37 degrees C. CONCLUSIONS Bulk preparations of ceftazidime and vancomycin, alone and in combination and with or without heparin in Dianeal PD dextrose 1.5% solution, are sufficiently stable for use up to 6 days under refrigeration or 48 hours at room temperature.
