Abstract
BACKGROUND Research on electronic health record physiologic data is common, invariably including artifacts. Traditionally, these artifacts have been handled using simple filter techniques. The authors hypothesized that different artifact detection algorithms, including machine learning, may be necessary to provide optimal performance for various vital signs and clinical contexts. METHODS In a retrospective single-center study, intraoperative operating room and intensive care unit (ICU) electronic health record datasets including heart rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, temperature, and capnometry were included. All records were screened for artifacts by at least two human experts. Classical artifact detection methods (cutoff, multiples of SD [z-value], interquartile range, and local outlier factor) and a supervised learning model implementing long short-term memory neural networks were tested for each vital sign against the human expert reference dataset. For each artifact detection algorithm, sensitivity and specificity were calculated. RESULTS A total of 106 (53 operating room and 53 ICU) patients were randomly selected, resulting in 392,808 data points. Human experts annotated 5,167 (1.3%) data points as artifacts. The artifact detection algorithms demonstrated large variations in performance. The specificity was above 90% for all detection methods and all vital signs. The neural network showed significantly higher sensitivities than the classic methods for heart rate (ICU, 33.6%; 95% CI, 33.1 to 44.6), systolic invasive blood pressure (in both the operating room [62.2%; 95% CI, 57.5 to 71.9] and the ICU [60.7%; 95% CI, 57.3 to 71.8]), and temperature in the operating room (76.1%; 95% CI, 63.6 to 89.7). The CI for specificity overlapped for all methods. Generally, sensitivity was low, with only the z-value for oxygen saturation in the operating room reaching 88.9%. All other sensitivities were less than 80%. CONCLUSIONS No single artifact detection method consistently performed well across different vital signs and clinical settings. Neural networks may be a promising artifact detection method for specific vital signs. EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE

Abstract
The acute exudative phase of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe form of respiratory failure, is characterized by alveolar damage, pulmonary oedema, and an exacerbated inflammatory response. There is no effective treatment for this condition, but based on the major contribution of inflammation, anti-inflammatory strategies have been evaluated in animal models and clinical trials, with conflicting results. In COVID-19 ARDS patients, interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6 receptor antagonists (IL-1Ra and IL-6Ra, kineret and tocilizumab, respectively) have shown some efficacy. Moreover, we have previously developed novel peptides modulating IL-1R and IL-6R activity (rytvela and HSJ633, respectively) while preserving immune vigilance and cytoprotective pathways. We aimed to assess the efficacy of these novel IL-1Ra and IL-6Ra, compared to commercially available drugs (kineret, tocilizumab) during the exudative phase (day 7) of bleomycin-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice. Our results first showed that none of the IL-1Ra and IL-6Ra compounds attenuated bleomycin-induced weight loss and venousP C O 2 ${P_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}$ increase. Histological analyses and lung water content measurements also showed that these drugs did not improve lung injury scores or pulmonary oedema, after the bleomycin challenge. Finally, IL-1Ra and IL-6Ra failed to alleviate the inflammatory status of the mice, as indicated by cytokine levels and alveolar neutrophil infiltration. Altogether, these results indicate a lack of beneficial effects of IL-1R and IL-6R antagonists on key parameters of ALI in the bleomycin mouse model.

Front Cell Dev Biol 2024; 12:1381470. [PMID: 38645411 PMCID: PMC11026642 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2024.1381470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Aging induces functional and structural changes in the lung, characterized by a decline in elasticity and diminished pulmonary remodeling and regenerative capacity. Emerging evidence suggests that most biomechanical alterations in the lung result from changes in the composition of the lung extracellular matrix (ECM), potentially modulating the behavior of pulmonary cells and increasing the susceptibility to chronic lung diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the mechanical properties of the aged lung. This study aims to assess the mechanical alterations in the lung ECM due to aging at both residual (RV) and functional (FV) lung volumes and to evaluate their effects on the survival and proliferation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Methods: The lungs from young (4-6-month-old) and aged (20-24-month-old) mice were inflated with optimal cutting temperature compound to reach FV or non-inflated (RV). ECM proteins laminin, collagen I and fibronectin were quantified by immunofluorescence and the mechanical properties of the decellularized lung sections were assessed using atomic force microscopy. To investigate whether changes in ECM composition by aging and/or mechanical properties at RV and FV volumes affects MSCs, their viability and proliferation were evaluated after 72 h. Results: Laminin presence was significantly reduced in aged mice compared to young mice, while fibronectin and collagen I were significantly increased in aged mice. In RV conditions, the acellular lungs from aged mice were significantly softer than from young mice. By contrast, in FV conditions, the aged lung ECM becomes stiffer than that of in young mice, revealing that strain hardening significantly depends on aging. Results after MSCs recellularization showed similar viability and proliferation rate in all conditions. Discussion: This data strongly suggests that biomechanical measurements, especially in aging models, should be carried out in physiomimetic conditions rather than following the conventional non-inflated lung (RV) approach. The use of decellularized lung scaffolds from aged and/or other lung disease murine/human models at physiomimetic conditions will help to better understand the potential role of mechanotransduction on the susceptibility and progression of chronic lung diseases, lung regeneration and cancer.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening lung injury that currently lacks effective clinical treatments. Evidence highlights the potential role of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibition in mitigating severe inflammation. The inhibition of GSK-3α/β by CHIR99021 promoted fetal lung progenitor proliferation and maturation of alveolar epithelial cells (AECs). The precise impact of CHIR99021 in lung repair and regeneration during acute lung injury (ALI) remains unexplored. This study intends to elucidate the influence of CHIR99021 on AEC behaviour during the peak of the inflammatory phase of ALI and, after its attenuation, during the repair and regeneration stage. Furthermore, a long-term evaluation was conducted post CHIR99021 treatment at a late phase of the disease. Our results disclosed the role of GSK-3α/β inhibition in promoting AECI and AECII proliferation. Later administration of CHIR99021 during ALI progression contributed to the transdifferentiation of AECII into AECI and an AECI/AECII increase, suggesting its contribution to the renewal of the alveolar epithelial population and lung regeneration. This effect was confirmed to be maintained histologically in the long term. These findings underscore the potential of targeted therapies that modulate GSK-3α/β inhibition, offering innovative approaches for managing acute lung diseases, mostly in later stages where no treatment is available.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by the heterogeneous distribution of lung aeration along a gravitational direction due to increased lung density. Therefore, the lung available for ventilation is usually limited to ventral, nondependent lung regions and has been called the "baby" lung. In ARDS, ventilator-induced lung injury is known to occur in nondependent "baby" lungs, as ventilation is shifted to ventral, nondependent lung regions, increasing stress and strain. To protect this nondependent "baby" lung, the clinician targets and limits global parameters such as tidal volume and plateau pressure. In addition, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is used to prevent dorsal, dependent atelectasis and, if successful, increases the size of the baby lung and lessens its susceptibility to injury from inspiratory stretch. Although many clinical trials have been performed in patients with ARDS over the last two decades, there are few successfully showing benefits on mortality (ie, prone positioning and neuromuscular blocking agents). These disappointing results contrast with other medical disciplines, especially in oncology, where the heterogeneity of diseases is recognized widely and precision medicine has been promoted. Thus, lung-protective ventilation strategies need to take an innovative approach that accounts for the heterogeneity of injured lungs. This article summarizes ventilator-induced lung injury and ARDS and discusses how to implement precision medicine in the field of ARDS. Potentially useful methods to individualize PEEP with esophageal balloon manometry, lung recruitability, and electrical impedance tomography were discussed.

Abstract
Chuanfangyihao (CFYH) is an effective treatment for acute lung injury (ALI) in clinical practice; however, its underlying mechanism of action remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to elucidate the pharmacological mechanism of action of CFYH in ALI through experimental validation. First, a rat model of ALI was established using lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Next, the pathological changes in the lungs of the rats and the pathological damage were scored. The wet/dry weight ratios were measured, and ROS content was detected using flow cytometry. ELISA was used to examine IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-18, and LDH levels. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect Beclin-1 and NLRP3 expression. Western blotting was performed to analyze the expression of HMGB1, RAGE, TLR4, NF-κB p65, AMPK, p-AMPK, mTOR, p-mTOR, Beclin-1, LC3-II/I, p62, Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase-3, Caspase-1, and GSDMD-NT. The mRNA levels of HMGB1, RAGE, AMPK, mTOR, and HIF-1α were determined using reverse transcription quantitative PCR. CFYH alleviated pulmonary edema and decreased the expression of IL-6, TNF-α, TLR4, NF-κB p65, HMGB1/RAGE, ROS, and HIF-1α. In addition, pretreatment with CFYH reversed ALI-induced programmed cell death. In conclusion, CFYH alleviates LPS-induced ALI, and these findings provide a preliminary clarification of the predominant mechanism of action of CFYH in ALI.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Excessive neutrophil infiltration into the pulmonary airspace is the main cause for the acute inflammation and lung injury. Platelets have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we show that the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif-coupled immunoglobulin-like platelet receptor, glycoprotein VI (GPVI), plays a key role in the early phase of pulmonary thrombo-inflammation in a model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI in mice. In wild-type (WT) control mice, intranasal LPS application triggered severe pulmonary and blood neutrophilia, hypothermia, and increased blood lactate levels. In contrast, GPVI-deficient mice as well as anti-GPVI-treated WT mice were markedly protected from pulmonary and systemic compromises and showed no increased pulmonary bleeding. High-resolution multicolor microscopy of lung sections and intravital confocal microcopy of the ventilated lung revealed that anti-GPVI treatment resulted in less stable platelet interactions with neutrophils and overall reduced platelet-neutrophil complex (PNC) formation. Anti-GPVI treatment also reduced neutrophil crawling and adhesion on endothelial cells, resulting in reduced neutrophil transmigration and alveolar infiltrates. Remarkably, neutrophil activation was also diminished in anti-GPVI-treated animals, associated with strongly reduced formation of PNC clusters and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) compared with that in control mice. These results establish GPVI as a key mediator of neutrophil recruitment, PNC formation, and NET formation (ie, NETosis) in experimental ALI. Thus, GPVI inhibition might be a promising strategy to reduce the acute pulmonary inflammation that causes ALI/ARDS.

Abstract
Respiratory pathogens such as influenza and SARS-CoV-2 can cause severe lung infections leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The pathophysiology of ARDS includes an excessive host immune response, lung epithelial and endothelial cell death and loss of the epithelial and endothelial barrier integrity, culminating in pulmonary oedema and respiratory failure. Traditional approaches for the treatment of respiratory infections include drugs that exert direct anti-pathogen effects (e.g., antivirals). However, such agents are typically ineffective or insufficient after the development of ARDS. Modulation of the host response has emerged as a promising alternative therapeutic approach to mitigate damage to the host for the treatment of respiratory infections; in principle, this strategy should also be less susceptible to the development of pathogen resistance. In this review, we discuss different host-targeting strategies against pathogen-induced ARDS. Developing therapeutics that enhance the host response is a pathogen-agnostic approach that will help prepare for the next pandemic.

Abstract
Paritaprevir is a potent inhibitor of the NS3/4A protease used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus infection. However, its therapeutic effect on acute lung injury (ALI) remains to be elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effect of paritaprevir on a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced two-hit rat ALI model. The anti-ALI mechanism of paritaprevir was also studied in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial (HM) cells following LPS-induced injury in vitro. Administration of 30 mg/kg paritaprevir for 3 days protected rats from LPS-induced ALI, as reflected by the changes in the lung coefficient (from 0.75 to 0.64) and lung pathology scores (from 5.17 to 5.20). Furthermore, the levels of the protective adhesion protein VE-cadherin and tight junction protein claudin-5 increased, and the cytoplasmic p-FOX-O1 and nuclear β-catenin and FOX-O1 levels decreased. Similar effects were observed in vitro with LPS-treated HM cells, including decreased nuclear β-catenin and FOX-O1 levels and higher VE-cadherin and claudin-5 levels. Moreover, β-catenin inhibition resulted in higher p-FOX-O1 levels in the cytoplasm. These results suggested that paritaprevir could alleviate experimental ALI via the β-catenin/p-Akt/ FOX-O1 signaling pathway.

The optimal management of the patient with COVID‐19 pneumonia: HFNC, NIV/CPAP or mechanical ventilation? Afr J Thorac Crit Care Med 2022; 28. [DOI: 10.7196/ajtccm.2022.v28i3.241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
The recent pandemic has seen unprecedented demand for respiratory support of patients with COVID‐19 pneumonia, stretching services and clinicians. Yet despite the global numbers of patients treated, guidance is not clear on the correct choice of modality or the timing of escalation of therapy for an individual patient.This narrative review assesses the available literature on the best use of different modalities of respiratory support for an individual patient, and discusses benefits and risks of each, coupled with practical advice to improve outcomes.
On current data, in an ideal context, it appears that as disease severity worsens, conventional oxygen therapy is not sufficient alone. In more severe disease, i.e. PaO2/FiO2 ratios below approximately 200, helmet‐CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) (although not widely available) may be superior to high‐flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy or facemask non‐invasive ventilation (NIV)/CPAP, and that facemask NIV/CPAP may be superior to HFNC, but with noted important complications, including risk of pneumothoraces.
In an ideal context, invasive mechanical ventilation should not be delayed where indicated and available. Vitally, the choice of respiratory support should not be prescriptive but contextualised to each setting, as supply and demand of resources vary markedly between institutions. Over time, institutions should develop clear policies to guide clinicians before demand exceeds supply, and should frequently review best practice as evidence matures.

Lung Ultrasound Assessment of Focal and Non-focal Lung Morphology in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Front Physiol 2021; 12:730857. [PMID: 34594240 PMCID: PMC8476947 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.730857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The identification of phenotypes based on lung morphology can be helpful to better target mechanical ventilation of individual patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We aimed to assess the accuracy of lung ultrasound (LUS) methods for classification of lung morphology in critically ill ARDS patients under mechanical ventilation. Methods: This was a post hoc analysis on two prospective studies that performed LUS and chest computed tomography (CT) scanning at the same time. Expert panels from the two participating centers separately developed two LUS methods for classifying lung morphology based on LUS aeration scores from a 12-region exam (Amsterdam and Lombardy method). Moreover, a previously developed LUS method based on anterior LUS scores was tested (Piedmont method). Sensitivity and specificity of all three LUS methods was assessed in the cohort of the other center(s) by using CT as the gold standard for classification of lung morphology. Results: The Amsterdam and Lombardy cohorts consisted of 32 and 19 ARDS patients, respectively. From these patients, 23 (45%) had focal lung morphology while others had non-focal lung morphology. The Amsterdam method could classify focal lung morphology with a sensitivity of 77% and a specificity of 100%, while the Lombardy method had a sensitivity and specificity of 100 and 61%. The Piedmont method had a sensitivity and specificity of 91 and 75% when tested on both cohorts. With both the Amsterdam and Lombardy method, most patients could be classified based on the anterior regions alone. Conclusion: LUS-based methods can accurately classify lung morphology in invasively ventilated ARDS patients compared to gold standard chest CT. The anterior LUS regions showed to be the most discriminant between focal and non-focal lung morphology, although accuracy increased moderately when lateral and posterior LUS regions were integrated in the method.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:727910. [PMID: 34513888 PMCID: PMC8423915 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.727910] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2021] [Accepted: 07/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Object: The fluid management strategy in ARDS is not very clear. A secondary analysis of RCT data was conducted to identify patients with ARDS benefitting from a conservative strategy of fluid management. Methods: The data of this study were downloaded from the ARDS network series of randomized controlled trials (Conservative Strategy vs. Liberal Strategy in 2006). Based on the clinical feature of patients, within the first 24 h after admission, clustering was performed using the k-means clustering algorithm to identify the phenotypes of ARDS. Survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to assess the effect of the two fluid management strategies on the 90-day cumulative mortality. Categorical/dichotomic variables were analyzed by the chi-square test. Continuous variables were expressed as the mean and standard deviation and evaluated through a one-way ANOVA. A P-value < 0.05 was defined as the statistically significant cut-off value. Results: A total of 1,000 ARDS patients were enrolled in this unsupervised clustering research study, of which 503 patients were treated with a conservative fluid-management strategy, and 497 patients were treated with a liberal fluid-management strategy. The first 7-day cumulative fluid balance in patients with the conservative strategy and liberal strategy were -136 ± 491 ml and 6,992 ± 502 ml, respectively (P < 0.001). Four phenotypes were found, and the conservative fluid-management strategy significantly improved the 90-day cumulative mortality compared with the liberal fluid-management strategy (HR = 0.532, P = 0.024) in patients classified as "hyperinflammatory anasarca" phenotype (phenotype II). The characteristics of this phenotype exhibited a higher WBC count (20487.51 ± 7223.86/mm3) with a higher incidence of anasarca (8.3%) and incidence of shock (26.6%) at baseline. The furthermore analysis found that the conservative fluid management strategy was superior to the liberal fluid management strategy in avoiding superinfection (10.10 vs. 14.40%, P = 0.037) and returned to assisted breathing (4.60 vs. 16.20%, P = 0.030) in patients classified as "hyperinflammatory anasarca" phenotype. In addition, patients with other phenotypes given the different fluid management strategies did not show significant differences in clinical outcomes. Conclusion: Patients exhibiting a "hyperinflammatory anasarca" phenotype could benefit from a conservative fluid management strategy.

[PMID: 34346534 DOI: 10.1002/jgm.3385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 07/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are life-threatening diseases and endothelial barrier injury is an important contributor to the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS. LncRNA has been proved to participate in the progression of ALI/ARDS. Our study aimed to investigate the function of lncRNA OIP5-AS1 in LPS-induced ALI/ARDS. METHODS OIP5-AS1 and miR-223 levels were detected by PCR in the serum of ALI/ARDS patients or healthy donors. MTT assay were performed to detect the proliferation of HPMECs. Flow cytometry were performed to detect the apoptosis of HPMECs. The protein levels of NLRP3, ASC, GSDMD-N, caspase-1 were measured by western blot to detect the pyroptosis of HPMECs. IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18 and IL-10 was detected by ELISA to measure the inflammatory response of HPMECs. And production of ROS, SOD and MDA was measured to determine the oxidative stress of HPMECs. Targets of OIP5-AS1 and miR-223 were predicted by StarBase and confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS We found that OIP5-AS1 was upregulated, while miR-223 was downregulated in the serum of ALI/ARDS patients and LPS-treated HPMECs. Functionally, knockdown of OIP5-AS1 induced proliferation and inhibited apoptosis, pyroptosis, inflammatory response and oxidative stress of LPS-treated HPMECs. Interestingly, miR-223 was a target of OIP5-AS1 and miR-223 inhibition abolished the effects of si-OIP5-AS1 on LPS-induced HPMECs. More importantly, miR-223 directly targeted NLRP3, miR-223 overexpression also promoted proliferation and inhibited apoptosis, pyroptosis, inflammatory response and oxidative stress of LPS-treated HPMECs and which was abolished by NLRP3 overexpression. Finally, we found that OIP5-AS1 knockdown and miR-223 overexpression could both alleviate LPS-induced ALI/ARDS in vivo. CONCLUSION Together, we find that LncRNA OIP5-AS1 aggravates LPS-induced ALI/ARDS via miR-223/NLRP3 axis and provides new targets for ALI/ARDS therapy.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinically heterogenous syndrome, rather than a distinct disease. This heterogeneity at least partially explains the difficulty in studying treatments for these patients and contributes to the numerous trials of therapies for the syndrome that have not shown benefit. Recent studies have identified different subphenotypes within the heterogenous patient population. These different subphenotypes likely have variable clinical responses to specific therapies, a concept known as heterogeneity of treatment effect (HTE). Recognizing different subphenotypes and HTE has important implications for the clinical management of patients with ARDS. In this review, we will present studies that have identified different subphenotypes and discuss how they can modify the effects of therapies evaluated in trials that are commonly considered to have demonstrated no overall benefit in patients with ARDS.

Abstract
Early and prolonged prone positioning (PP) therapy improve survival in advanced ARDS; however, the predictors of mortality remain unclear. The study aims to identify predictive factors correlated with mortality and build-up the prognostic score in patients with severe ARDS who received early and prolonged PP therapy. A total of 116 patients were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. Univariate and multivariate regression models were used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) of mortality. Factors associated with mortality were assessed by Cox regression analysis and presented as the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI. In the multivariate regression model, renal replacement therapy (RRT; OR: 4.05, 1.54–10.67), malignant comorbidity (OR: 8.86, 2.22–35.41), and non-influenza-related ARDS (OR: 5.17, 1.16–23.16) were significantly associated with ICU mortality. Age, RRT, non-influenza-related ARDS, malignant comorbidity, and APACHE II score were included in a composite prone score, which demonstrated an area under the curve of 0.816 for predicting mortality risk. In multivariable Cox proportional hazard model, prone score more than 3 points was significantly associated with ICU mortality (HR: 2.13, 1.12–4.07, p = 0.021). We suggest prone score ≥3 points could be a good predictor for mortality in severe ARDS received PP therapy.

Abstract
On January 30, 2020, the WHO declared the novel coronavirus of 2019 a pandemic, causing millions of cases and thousands of deaths worldwide, exposing the vulnerabilities of healthcare systems around the world with each country having its own experience. These ranged from patient clinical profiles to management recommendations and to government interventions. There is a paucity of published data regarding Philippine experience. This study is a retrospective, descriptive study of ninety-one COVID-19 probable patients admitted in the COVID ICU of The Medical City from March 16 to May 7, 2020. We described clinical and demographic characteristics amongst COVID-19-confirmed and -negative patients. Therapeutic interventions including COVID-19 investigational drug use and other organ failure strategies were noted and tested for association with ICU survivors and nonsurvivors. We observed that there was no therapeutic intervention that was associated with improved outcomes, with some interventions showing trends favoring the ICU nonsurvivor group. These interventions include, but are not limited to, the use of hydroxychloroquine and tocilizumab, and prone positioning. We also observed that a higher SAPS-3 score was associated with the COVID-19 positive group and the ICU nonsurvivor group. On PubMed search, there seems to be no Philippine-specific literature regarding COVID-19 ICU experience. Further investigations to include more variables are recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration decreases in septic patients and the low level of HDL-C is associated with poor prognosis. However, no study has yet analyzed its prognostic implication specifically in pneumonia-ARDS cohort. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prognostic value of HDL-C levels in ARDS patients secondary to bacterial and viral pneumonia. METHODS This was a retrospective observational study on 108 pneumonia-ARDS patients in RICU from 2017 to 2019. These patients were stratified into bacterial ARDS group (56) and viral ARDS group (52). The primary outcome was the association between HDL-C levels and 28-day mortality. RESULTS HDL-C levels were statistically lower in bacterial ARDS patients than those in viral ARDS patients (p<0.001). There were statistic negative correlations between HDL-C and APACHE II/SOFA score in bacterial ARDS patients (r=-0.284, p = 0.034 and r=-0.369, p = 0.005), but not in viral ARDS patients (r=-0.103, p = 0.469 and r=-0.225, p = 0.108). ROC analysis demonstrated that HDL-C had superior prediction value for 28-day mortality and identified HDL-C < 0.42 mmol/L was significantly associated with adverse outcomes in bacterial ARDS patients. The low HDL-C was an independent risk factor for death of bacterial ARDS patients (OR 0.027, 95% CI [0.001-0.905], P = 0.044). CONCLUSIONS HDL-C might be a valuable marker to assess the 28-d mortality for bacterial ARDS patients rather than viral ARDS patients.

Abstract
C16 peptide and angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) have been found to have anti-inflammatory activity in various inflammation-related diseases. However, their combined role in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has not been investigated yet. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of C16 peptide and Ang-1 in combination with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory insult in vitro and in vivo. Human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells and human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells were used as cell culture systems, and an ARDS rodent model was used for in vivo studies. Our results demonstrated that C16 and Ang-1 in combination significantly suppressed inflammatory cell transmigration by 33% in comparison with the vehicle alone, and decreased the lung tissue wet-to-dry lung weight ratio to a maximum of 1.53, compared to 3.55 in the vehicle group in ARDS rats. Moreover, C + A treatment reduced the histology injury score to 60% of the vehicle control, enhanced arterial oxygen saturation (SO2), decreased arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PCO2), and increased oxygen partial pressure (PO2) in ARDS rats, while also improving the survival rate from 47% (7/15) to 80% (12/15) and diminishing fibrosis, necrosis, and apoptosis in lung tissue. Furthermore, when C + A therapy was administered 4 h following LPS injection, the treatment showed significant alleviating effects on pulmonary inflammatory cell infiltration 24 h postinsult. In conclusion, our in vitro and in vivo studies show that C16 and Ang-1 exert protective effects against LPS-induced inflammatory insult. C16 and Ang-1 hold promise as a novel agent against LPS-induced ARDS. Further studies are needed to determine the potential for C16 and Ang-1 in combination in treating inflammatory lung diseases.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) features an exudative phase characterized by alveolar damage, lung edema and exacerbated inflammatory response. Given their anti‐inflammatory properties, the potential therapeutic effect of corticosteroids has been evaluated in ARDS clinical trials and experimental models of ALI. These studies produced contradictory results. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the effects of dexamethasone in an animal model of bleomycin‐induced acute lung injury and then to determine if the lack of response could be related to an impairment in repair ability of alveolar epithelial cells after injury. NMRI mice were challenged with bleomycin and then treated daily with dexamethasone or saline. Bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL) and lungs were collected for assessment of the inflammatory response and wet/dry ratio (lung edema) and for histological analyses. The effect of bleomycin and dexamethasone on wound repair was also evaluated in vitro on primary alveolar epithelial cell (ATII) cultures. Our data first showed that dexamethasone treatment did not reduce the weight loss or mortality rates induced by bleomycin. Although the TNF‐α level in BAL of bleomycin‐treated mice was reduced by dexamethasone, the neutrophil infiltration remained unchanged. Dexamethasone also failed to reduce lung edema and damage scores. Finally, bleomycin elicited a time‐ and dose‐dependent reduction in repair rates of ATII cell cultures. This inhibitory effect was further enhanced by dexamethasone, which also affected the expression of β3‐ and β6‐integrins, key proteins of alveolar repair. Altogether, our data indicate that the inability of dexamethasone to improve the resolution of ALI might be due to his deleterious effect on the alveolar epithelium repair.

[PMID: 32733125 PMCID: PMC7372612 DOI: 10.1177/1178633720943505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has a worldwide mortality of 10% to 30% with severe pneumonia being the primary cause. Diagnosis relies on clinical criteria which may lead to under-recognition and delayed evidence-based interventions. In previous studies, plasma fibrinogen was associated with progression to ARDS among patients with severe pneumonia. This is a prospective cohort study wherein we hypothesized that levels of plasma fibrinogen and change in levels of fibrinogen can predict development of ARDS among a cohort of patients with severe pneumonia based on the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the American Thoracic Society (ATS) consensus criteria. After acquiring consent, plasma fibrinogen levels were extracted upon enrollment and after 48 hours. These extraction times were arbitrarily chosen to determine whether levels rise or decline in relation to the course of disease. A total of 47 patients were prospectively followed within 7 days of enrollment, then divided into 2 groups, which included those who developed ARDS (n = 12, 25%) and those who did not (n = 35, 75%). Fibrinogen levels at baseline had sensitivity and specificity of 41.7% and 57.1%, respectively (P = .932) with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.492; levels after 48 hours had sensitivity and specificity of 55.6% and 65.6%, respectively (P = .729) with an AUC of 0.538; and delta fibrinogen levels had sensitivity and specificity of 55.6% and 62.5%, respectively (P = 0.581) with an AUC of 0.561. Based on this study, plasma fibrinogen is an unreliable biomarker for predicting ARDS development in patients with severe pneumonia. In setting up this study, we experienced limitations which we had to accept but realizations of these led to the discovery of potential research areas. To our knowledge, this is the first Philippine study attempting to discover a biomarker for ARDS progression. It is recommended that further investigation on local incidence and other biomarkers for ARDS should be done.

The evolution of radiographic edema in ARDS and its association with clinical outcomes: A prospective cohort study in adult patients. J Crit Care 2020; 56:222-228.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the longitudinal evolution of radiographic edema using chest X-rays (CXR) in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and to examine its association with prognostic biomarkers, ARDS subphenotypes and outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We quantified radiographic edema on CXRs from patients with ARDS or cardiogenic pulmonary edema (controls) using the Radiographic Assessment of Lung Edema (RALE) score on day of intubation and up to 10 days after. We measured baseline plasma biomarkers and recorded clinical variables. RESULTS The RALE score had good inter-rater agreement (r = 0.83, p < 0.0001) applied on 488 CXRs from 129 patients, with higher RALE scores in patients with ARDS (n = 108) compared to controls (n = 21, p = 0.01). Baseline RALE scores were positively correlated with levels of the receptor for end-glycation end products (RAGE) in ARDS patients (p < 0.05). Baseline RALE scores were not predictive of 30- or 90-day survival. Persistently elevated RALE scores were associated with prolonged need for mechanical ventilation (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS The RALE score is easily implementable with high inter-rater reliability. Longitudinal RALE scoring appears to be a reproducible approach to track the evolution of radiographic edema in patients with ARDS and can potentially predict prolonged need for mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome is characterized by dyspnea at presentation, tachypnea on physical examination, findings of bilateral infiltration in chest radiography, refractory hypoxia, and high mortality. Although the main treatment approach is to address the underlying disease, there are also pharmacological and nonpharmacological options for supportive treatment. There is currently no pharmacological agent with proven efficacy in this syndrome, and many drugs are being studied for this purpose. One of these is the endothelin receptor antagonist bosentan.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and prevention play a crucial role in the treatment of patients with ARDS. The definition of ARDS requires an arterial blood gas to define the ratio of partial pressure of arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2 ratio). However, many patients with ARDS do not have a blood gas measured, which may result in under-diagnosis of the condition. Using data from MIMIC-III Database, we propose an algorithm based on patient non-invasive physiological parameters to estimate P/F levels to aid in the diagnosis of ARDS disease. The machine learning algorithm was combined with the filter feature selection method to study the correlation of various noninvasive parameters from patients to identify the ARDS disease. Cross-validation techniques are used to verify the performance of algorithms for different feature subsets. XGBoost using the optimal feature subset had the best performance of ARDS identification with the sensitivity of 84.03%, the specificity of 87.75% and the AUC of 0.9128. For the four machine learning algorithms, reducing a certain number of features, AUC can still above 0.8. Compared to Rice Linear Model, this method has the advantages of high reliability and continually monitoring the development of patients with ARDS.

Abstract
Background Previously prone positioning (PP) was described in addition to invasive mechanical ventilation and it has been known to reduced mortality and improve oxygenation in patients of ARDS. Recently novel timing of prone positioning was described with the use of high-frequency nasal cannula (HFNC) and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in patients of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to avoid the intubation. Here we would like to share a case of severe ARDS where prone positioning was used in a step further ahead. Case description A 38-year-old gentleman presented with the complaints of progressive breathlessness, dry cough and fever for 7 days. Patient was diagnosed as a case of H1N1 pneumonia with severe ARDS. Patient was initially managed with invasive mechanical ventilation according to ARDS-Net protocol. Despite persistent hypoxia he was put on prone positioning for consecutive 4 days. Patient was extubated after 10 days of mechanical ventilation and put on HFNC in view of persistent high oxygen requirement. At this point of time, we attempted prone positioning in addition to HFNC. Patient was comfortable on prone position and put himself in the same condition for prolonged periods. His oxygenation showed a remarkable improvement from PaO2 of 63 (before prone positioning) to 136 mm Hg (after prone positioning). Oxygen supplementation was later tapered off and subsequently, he improved and was shifted to ward. Conclusion Prone positioning is a harmless and still extremely effective intervention which can and should be utilized at all steps of ARDS-management.

Abstract
Background Results from preclinical studies suggest that age-dependent differences in host defense and the pulmonary renin–angiotensin system (RAS) are responsible for observed differences in epidemiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) between children and adults. The present study compares biomarkers of host defense and RAS in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from neonates, children, adults, and older adults with ARDS. Methods In this prospective observational study, we enrolled mechanical ventilated ARDS patients categorized into four age groups: 20 neonates (< 28 days corrected postnatal age), 29 children (28 days–18 years), 26 adults (18–65 years), and 17 older adults (> 65 years of age). All patients underwent a nondirected BAL within 72 h after intubation. Activities of the two main enzymes of RAS, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and ACE2, and levels of biomarkers of inflammation, endothelial activation, and epithelial damage were determined in BAL fluid. Results Levels of myeloperoxidase, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and p-selectin were higher with increasing age, whereas intercellular adhesion molecule-1 was higher in neonates. No differences in activity of ACE and ACE2 were seen between the four age groups. Conclusions Age-dependent differences in the levels of biomarkers in lungs of ARDS patients are present. Especially, higher levels of markers involved in the neutrophil response were found with increasing age. In contrast to preclinical studies, age is not associated with changes in the pulmonary RAS.

Abstract
Background Mechanical ventilation is an essential therapy to support critically ill respiratory failure patients. Current standards of care consist of generalised approaches, such as the use of positive end expiratory pressure to inspired oxygen fraction (PEEP–FiO2) tables, which fail to account for the inter- and intra-patient variability between and within patients. The benefits of higher or lower tidal volume, PEEP, and other settings are highly debated and no consensus has been reached. Moreover, clinicians implicitly account for patient-specific factors such as disease condition and progression as they manually titrate ventilator settings. Hence, care is highly variable and potentially often non-optimal. These conditions create a situation that could benefit greatly from an engineered approach. The overall goal is a review of ventilation that is accessible to both clinicians and engineers, to bridge the divide between the two fields and enable collaboration to improve patient care and outcomes. This review does not take the form of a typical systematic review. Instead, it defines the standard terminology and introduces key clinical and biomedical measurements before introducing the key clinical studies and their influence in clinical practice which in turn flows into the needs and requirements around how biomedical engineering research can play a role in improving care. Given the significant clinical research to date and its impact on this complex area of care, this review thus provides a tutorial introduction around the review of the state of the art relevant to a biomedical engineering perspective. Discussion This review presents the significant clinical aspects and variables of ventilation management, the potential risks associated with suboptimal ventilation management, and a review of the major recent attempts to improve ventilation in the context of these variables. The unique aspect of this review is a focus on these key elements relevant to engineering new approaches. In particular, the need for ventilation strategies which consider, and directly account for, the significant differences in patient condition, disease etiology, and progression within patients is demonstrated with the subsequent requirement for optimal ventilation strategies to titrate for patient- and time-specific conditions. Conclusion Engineered, protective lung strategies that can directly account for and manage inter- and intra-patient variability thus offer great potential to improve both individual care, as well as cohort clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Decades of sepsis research into a specific immune system-targeting adjunctive therapy have not resulted in the discovery of an effective compound. Apart from antibiotics, source control, resuscitation and organ support, not a single adjunctive treatment is used in current clinical practice. The inability to determine the prevailing immunological phenotype of patients and the related large heterogeneity of study populations are regarded by many as the most important factors behind the disappointing results of past clinical trials. While the therapeutic focus has long been on immunosuppressive strategies, increased appreciation of the importance of sepsis-induced immunoparalysis in causing morbidity and mortality in sepsis patients has resulted in a paradigm shift in the sepsis research field towards strategies aimed at enhancing the immune response. However, similar to immunosuppressive therapies, precision medicine is imperative for future trials with immunostimulatory compounds to succeed. As such, identifying those patients with a severely suppressed or hyperactive immune system who will most likely benefit from either immunostimulatory or immunosuppressive therapy, and accurate monitoring of both the immune and treatment response is crucial. This review provides an overview of the challenges lying ahead on the path towards precision immunotherapy for patients suffering from sepsis.

Abstract
Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a devastating condition for patients that results from either impaired function of the respiratory muscle pump or from dysfunction of the lung. ARF is a challenging field for clinicians working both within and outside the intensive care unit (ICU) and respiratory high dependency care unit environment because this heterogeneous syndrome is associated with a high hospital morbidity and mortality rate, ethical issues in managing end of life decisions and increased consumption of healthcare resources. ARF management requires an escalation therapeutic strategy based on application of a wide range of ventilatory and non-ventilatory interventions; there are many unanswered questions that need to be addressed in the near futurehttp://ow.ly/xbPi30iUP2y
