Peng J, He Q, Li S, Liu T, Zhang J. Hydrogen-Rich Water Mitigates LPS-Induced Chronic Intestinal Inflammatory Response in Rats via Nrf-2 and NF-κB Signaling Pathways. Vet Sci 2022; 9:621. [PMID: 36356098 PMCID: PMC9692594 DOI: 10.3390/vetsci9110621] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Long-term exposure to low-dose lipopolysaccharide can impair intestinal barriers, causing intestinal inflammation and leading to systemic inflammation. Hydrogen-rich water possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions and exerts inhibitory effects on various inflammatory diseases. In this study, we investigated whether oral hydrogen-rich water could prevent lipopolysaccharide-induced chronic intestinal inflammation. An experimental model was established by feeding hydrogen-rich water, followed by the injection of lipopolysaccharide (200 μg/kg) in the tail vein of rats after seven months. ELISA, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and other methods were used to detect related cytokines, proteins related to the NF-κB and Nrf-2 signaling pathways, and tight-junction proteins to study the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of hydrogen-rich water. The obtained results show that hydrogen-rich water significantly increased the levels of superoxide dismutase and structural proteins; activated the Nrf-2 signaling pathway; downregulated the expression of inflammatory factors cyclooxygenase-2, myeloperoxidase, and ROS; and decreased the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. These results suggest that hydrogen-rich water could protect against chronic intestinal inflammation in rats caused by lipopolysaccharide-induced activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway by regulating the Nrf-2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass induces a profound inflammatory response that, when severe, can lead to multiorgan system dysfunction. Preliminary data suggest that administration of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions may mitigate an inflammatory response and improve pulmonary function. Our goal was to examine the effect of 6% HES 130/0.4 versus 5% human albumin given for intravascular plasma volume replacement on the perioperative inflammatory response and pulmonary function in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS This was a subinvestigation of a blinded, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial of patients undergoing elective aortic valve replacement surgery at the Cleveland Clinic main campus, titled "Effect of 6% Hydroxyethyl Starch 130/0.4 on Kidney and Haemostatic Function in Cardiac Surgical Patients." Of 141 patients who were randomized to receive either 6% HES 130/0.4 or 5% human albumin for intraoperative plasma volume replacement, 135 patients were included in the data analysis (HES n = 66, albumin n = 69). We assessed the cardiopulmonary bypass-induced inflammatory response end points by comparing the 2 groups' serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), measured at baseline and at 1 and 24 hours after surgery. We also compared the 2 groups' postoperative pulmonary function end points, including the ratio of partial pressure of arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen (Pao2:Fio2 ratio), dynamic lung compliance, oxygenation index (OI), and ventilation index (VI) at baseline, within 1 hour of arrival to the intensive care unit, and before tracheal extubation. The differences in the postoperative levels of inflammatory response and pulmonary function between the HES and albumin groups were assessed individually in linear mixed models. RESULTS Serum concentrations of the inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-6, MIF) were not significantly different (P ≥ .05) between patients who received 6% HES 130/0.4 or 5% albumin, and there was no significant heterogeneity of the estimated treatment effect over time (P ≥ .15). The results of pulmonary function parameters (Pao2:Fio2 ratio, dynamic compliance, OI, VI) were not significantly different (P ≥ .05) between groups, and there was no significant heterogeneity of the estimated treatment effect over time (P ≥ .15). CONCLUSIONS Our investigation found no significant difference in the concentrations of inflammatory markers and measures of pulmonary function between cardiac surgical patients who received 6% HES 130/0.4 versus 5% albumin.

Abstract
Colloid solutions, both natural and synthetic, had been widely accepted as having superior volume expanding effects than crystalloids. Synthetic colloid solutions were previously considered at least as effective as natural colloids, as well as being cheaper and easily available. As a result, synthetic colloids (and HES in particular) were the preferred resuscitation fluid in many countries. In the past decade, several cascading events have called into question their efficacy and revealed their harmful effects. In 2013, the medicines authorities placed substantial restrictions on HES administration in people which has resulted in an overall decrease in their use. Whether natural colloids (such as albumin-containing solutions) should replace synthetic colloids remains inconclusive based on the current evidence. Albumin seems to be safer than synthetic colloids in people, but clear evidence of a positive effect on survival is still lacking. Furthermore, species-specific albumin is not widely available, while xenotransfusions with human serum albumin have known side effects. Veterinary data on the safety and efficacy of synthetic and natural colloids is limited to mostly retrospective evaluations or experimental studies with small numbers of patients (mainly dogs). Large, prospective, randomized, long-term outcome-oriented studies are lacking. This review focuses on advantages and disadvantages of synthetic and natural colloids in veterinary medicine. Adopting human guidelines is weighed against the particularities of our specific patient populations, including the risk-benefit ratio and lack of alternatives available in human medicine.

Abstract
In the past decades, the vigorous development of nanomedicine has opened up a new world for drug delivery. Hydroxyethyl starch (HES), a clinical plasma volume expander which has been widely used for years, is playing an attracting role as drug carriers. Compared with all other polysaccharides, HES has proven its unique characteristics for drug delivery platforms, including good manufacture practice, biodegradability, biocompatibility, abundant groups for chemical modification, excellent water solubility, and tailorability. In this review, an overview of various types of HES based drug delivery systems is provided, including HES-drug conjugates, HES-based nano-assemblies, HES-based nanocapsules, and HES-based hydrogels. In addition, the current challenges and future opportunities for design and application of HES based drug delivery systems are also discussed. The available studies show that HES based drug delivery systems has significant potential for clinical translation.

The Beneficial Effect of HES on Vascular Permeability and Its Relationship With Endothelial Glycocalyx and Intercellular Junction After Hemorrhagic Shock. Front Pharmacol 2020; 11:597. [PMID: 32457611 PMCID: PMC7227604 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2020.00597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2019] [Accepted: 04/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Vascular leakage is a common complication of hemorrhagic shock. Endothelial glycocalyx plays a crucial role in the protection of vascular endothelial barrier function. Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is a commonly used resuscitation fluid for hemorrhagic shock. However, whether the protective effect of HES on vascular permeability after hemorrhagic shock is associated with the endothelial glycocalyx is unclear. Methods Using hemorrhagic shock rat model and hypoxia treated vascular endothelial cells (VECs), effects of HES (130/0.4) on pulmonary vascular permeability and the relationship to endothelial glycocalyx were observed. Results Pulmonary vascular permeability was significantly increased after hemorrhagic shock, as evidenced by the increased permeability of pulmonary vessels to albumin-fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugate (FITC-BSA) and Evans blue, the decreased transendothelial electrical resistance of VECs and the increased transmittance of FITC-BSA. The structure of the endothelial glycocalyx was destroyed, showing a decrease in thickness. The expression of heparan sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin sulfate, the components of the endothelial glycocalyx, was significantly decreased. HES (130/0.4) significantly improved the vascular barrier function, recovered the thickness and the expression of components of the endothelial glycocalyx by down-regulating the expression of heparinase, hyaluronidase, and neuraminidase, and meanwhile increased the expression of intercellular junction proteins ZO-1, occludin, and VE-cadherin. Degradation of endothelial glycocalyx with degrading enzyme (heparinase, hyaluronidase, and neuraminidase) abolished the beneficial effect of HES on vascular permeability, but had no significant effect on the recovery of the expression of endothelial intercellular junction proteins induced by HES (130/0.4). HES (130/0.4) decreased the expression of cleaved-caspase-3 induced by hemorrhagic shock. Conclusions HES (130/0.4) has protective effect on vascular barrier function after hemorrgic shock.The mechanism is mainly related to the protective effect of HES on endothelial glycocalyx and intercellular junction proteins. The protective effect of HES on endothelial glycocalyx was associated with the down-regulated expression of heparinase, hyaluronidase, and neuraminidase. HES (130/0.4) had an anti-apoptotic effect in hemorrhagic shock.

Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:ijms19092706. [PMID: 30208622 PMCID: PMC6164246 DOI: 10.3390/ijms19092706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2018] [Revised: 09/05/2018] [Accepted: 09/06/2018] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Prevention of hepatic fat accumulation may be an important approach for liver diseases due to the increased relevance of hepatic steatosis in this field. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the antioxidant α-lipoic acid (α-LA) on hepatic steatosis, hepatocellular function, and oxidative stress in a model of type 2 diabetes fed with a high fat diet (HFD). Goto-Kakizaki rats were randomly divided into four groups. The first group received only a standard rat diet (control GK) including groups 2 (HFD), 3 (vehicle group), and 4 (α-LA group), which were given HFD, ad libitum during three months. Wistar rats are the non-diabetic control group. Carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, liver function, plasma and liver tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), liver GSH, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and nuclear factor E2 (erythroid-derived 2)-related factor-2 (Nrf2) levels were assessed in the different groups. Liver function was assessed using quantitative hepatobiliary scintigraphy, serum aspartate, and alanine aminotransferases (AST, ALT), alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, and bilirubin levels. Histopathologically steatosis and fibrosis were evaluated. Type 2 diabetic animals fed with HFD showed a marked hepatic steatosis and a diminished hepatic extraction fraction and both were fully prevented with α-LA. Plasma and liver tissue MDA and hepatic TNF-α levels were significantly higher in the HFD group when compared with the control group and significantly lower in the α-LA group. Systemic and hepatic cholesterol, triglycerides, and serum uric acid levels were higher in hyperlipidemic GK rats and fully prevented with α-LA. In addition, nuclear Nrf2 activity was significantly diminished in GK rats and significantly augmented after α-LA treatment. In conclusion, α-LA strikingly ameliorates steatosis in this animal model of diabetes fed with HFD by decrementing the inflammatory marker TNF-α and reducing oxidative stress. α-LA might be considered a useful therapeutic tool to prevent hepatic steatosis by incrementing antioxidant defense systems through Nrf2 and consequently decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Quercetin, a flavonol, displays anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. This study aimed to investigate whether a diet containing 0.1% or 1% quercetin (LQ and HQ, respectively) enhances the anti-tumor effects of trichostatin A (TSA) and prevents muscle wasting induced by TSA. The positive control group received quercetin intraperitoneally (IQ). Three weeks after injecting A549 cells, nude mice were given TSA alone or in combination with quercetin administered orally or intraperitoneally for 16 weeks. Tumor volumes as well as body, muscle and epididymal fat weights were determined during or after the experiment. Quercetin given as a diet supplement dose-dependently enhanced the anti-tumor potency of TSA (p < 0.05). The enhancing effect of HQ was similar to that of IQ. HQ also significantly increased the expression of p53, a tumor suppressor, in tumor tissues compared with the TSA alone group. In addition, TSA-induced loss of gastrocnemius muscle weight was inhibited by oral quercetin in a dose dependent manner; the efficiencies of LQ and HQ were similar to or better than IQ. Moreover, both LQ and HQ decreased TSA-induced activation of Forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), a crucial transcription factor that regulates muscle wasting associated genes. Consistently, LQ and HQ suppressed muscle wasting associated proteins atrophy gene-1 and muscle ring-finger protein-1 expression as well as increased the myosin heavy chain level in the gastrocnemius muscles. Besides, quercetin attenuated TSA-increased oxidative damage and proinflammatory cytokines (p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that a diet containing 0.1% or 1% quercetin enhances the antitumor effect of TSA and prevents TSA-induced muscle wasting.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of the combination of centhaquin and 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES 130/0.4) in a swine model of hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Twenty Landrace-Large White pigs were instrumented and subjected to hemorrhagic shock. The animals were randomly allocated in two experimental groups, the control (group CO, n = 10) and the centhaquin groups (0.015 mg/kg, n = 10, group CH). Acute hemorrhage was induced by stepwise blood withdrawal (18 mL/min) from the internal jugular vein until MAP decreased to 40-45 mmHg, whereas anesthesia remained constant. All animals received HES 130/0.4 solution in the resuscitation phase until their mean arterial pressure (MAP) reached 90% of the baseline. The animals were observed for 60 min, during which no further resuscitation was attempted. RESULTS The total amount of blood and the bleeding time did not differ significantly between group CO and group CH (120 ± 13 vs. 120 ± 14 mL, p = 0.6; 20 ± 2 vs. 20 ± 1 min, p = 0.62, respectively). During the hemorrhagic phase, only a difference in heart rate (97.6 ± 4.4 vs. 128.4 ± 3.6 beats/min, p = 0.038) was observed between the two groups. The time required to reach the target MAP was significantly shorter in the centhaquin group compared to controls (13.7 ± 0.4 vs. 19.6 ± 0.84 min, p = 0.012). During the resuscitation phase, a statistical significant difference was observed in MAP (75.2 ± 1.6 vs. 89.8 ± 2.1 mmHg, p = 0.02) between group CO and group CH. During the observation phase, a statistical significant difference was observed in SVR (1109 ± 32.65 vs. 774.6 ± 21.82 dyn s/cm5, p = 0.039) and cardiac output (5.82 ± 0.31 vs. 6.9 ± 0.78 L/min, p = 0.027) between the two groups. Two animals of group CO and seven animals of group CH survived for 24 h (p = 0.008). We observed a marked increase in microvascular capillary permeability in group CO compared to group CH, with the wet/dry weight ratio being significantly higher in group CO compared to group CH (4.8 ± 1.6 vs. 3.08 ± 0.6, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The combination of centhaquin 0.015 mg/kg and HES 130/0.4 resulted in shorter time to target MAP, lower wet-to-dry ratio, and better survival rates after resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnosis "post-traumatic dystrophy" (PTD) was first defined with clinical and paraclinical criteria by Scola et al. in 2013. OBJECTIVES The objectivity and reliability of the paraclinical criteria (venous blood gas analysis [vBGA], radionuclide angiography [RNA]), and recommendations for therapy should be assessed in a prospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS In five patients with clinical signs of post-traumatic nonbacterial inflammation of the hand, both diagnosis and a 3‑week hospital treatment were carried out in accordance with the publication mentioned above. The primary traumata (four fractures and one soft-tissue injury) were located in either the hand or the forearm. Unsuccessful outpatient treatment always led to hospital admission. One patient with severe osteopenia in the hand skeleton was treated with bisphosphonates for 6 months. RESULTS All patients fulfilled the clinical and paraclinical criteria for the diagnosis of PTD. On admission, an elevated venous partial pressure of oxygen was found by vBGA in the affected hand (∆pO2 mean 22 ± 3 mm Hg) and a hyperperfusion due to arteriovenous shunts was measured using RNA (mean 75 ± 47%). The symptomatic treatment was extremely well tolerated; by the time of discharge, all patients achieved full functioning of the hand with minor loss of strength (venous ∆pO2 mean 5 ± 3 mm Hg). The osteopenia in the one patient treated with bisphosphonates showed recalcification after 6 months. CONCLUSION The reliability of clinical and paraclinical criteria for PTD were confirmed. vBGA and RNA seem to be good parameters for confirming the diagnosis of PTD. "Rubor," a symptom traditionally interpreted as "hyperemia," contradicts the paraclinical findings and leads to the assumption that the cause of this post-traumatic syndrome is microvascular dysfunction.

We studied the effect of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) on intestinal production of cytokines and activation of transcription factors in sepsis. Septic rats, induced by intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (5 mg/kg), were treated with intravenous HES (16 ml/kg) or saline (64 ml/kg). Rat ileal tissues were collected at 2 h, 3 h or 6 h after LPS challenge. Levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL) 1β, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10, cytokine mRNAs, activities of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1), and the number of ileal myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive cells were determined for each group. HES significantly reduced the LPS-induced increase in intestinal levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and their corresponding mRNAs. HES also decreased the number of MPO-positive cells induced by LPS and inhibited activation of NF-κB and AP-1. The results suggest that in sepsis, HES may down-regulate intestinal pro-inflammatory cytokine production via suppression of NF-κB and AP-1 activation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To (1) review the development and medical applications of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions with particular emphasis on its physiochemical properties; (2) critically appraise the available evidence in human and veterinary medicine, and (3) evaluate the potential risks and benefits associated with their use in critically ill small animals. DATA SOURCES Human and veterinary original research articles, scientific reviews, and textbook sources from 1950 to the present. HUMAN DATA SYNTHESIS HES solutions have been used extensively in people for over 30 years and ever since its introduction there has been a great deal of debate over its safety and efficacy. Recently, results of seminal trials and meta-analyses showing increased risks related to kidney dysfunction and mortality in septic and critically ill patients, have led to the restriction of HES use in these patient populations by European regulatory authorities. Although the initial ban on the use of HES in Europe has been eased, proof regarding the benefits and safety profile of HES in trauma and surgical patient populations has been requested by these same European regulatory authorities. VETERINARY DATA SYNTHESIS The veterinary literature is limited mostly to experimental studies and clinical investigations with small populations of patients with short-term end points and there is insufficient evidence to generate recommendations. CONCLUSIONS Currently, there are no consensus recommendations regarding the use of HES in veterinary medicine. Veterinarians and institutions affected by the HES restrictions have had to critically reassess the risks and benefits related to HES usage based on the available information and sometimes adapt their procedures and policies based on their reassessment. Meanwhile, large, prospective, randomized veterinary studies evaluating HES use are needed to achieve relevant levels of evidence to enable formulation of specific veterinary guidelines.

Hydroxyethyl starch (HES 130/0.4) impairs intestinal barrier integrity and metabolic function: findings from a mouse model of the isolated perfused small intestine. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0121497. [PMID: 25799493 PMCID: PMC4370845 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0121497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2014] [Accepted: 02/02/2015] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) for volume resuscitation is controversially discussed and clinical studies have suggested adverse effects of HES substitution, leading to increased patient mortality. Although, the intestine is of high clinical relevance and plays a crucial role in sepsis and inflammation, information about the effects of HES on intestinal function and barrier integrity is very scarce. We therefore evaluated the effects of clinically relevant concentrations of HES on intestinal function and barrier integrity employing an isolated perfused model of the mouse small intestine. METHODS An isolated perfused model of the mouse small intestine was established and intestines were vascularly perfused with a modified Krebs-Henseleit buffer containing 3% Albumin (N=7) or 3% HES (130/0.4; N=7). Intestinal metabolic function (galactose uptake, lactate-to-pyruvate ratio), edema formation (wet-to-dry weight ratio), morphology (histological and electron microscopical analysis), fluid shifts within the vascular, lymphatic and luminal compartments, as well as endothelial and epithelial barrier permeability (FITC-dextran translocation) were evaluated in both groups. RESULTS Compared to the Albumin group, HES perfusion did not significantly change the wet-to-dry weight ratio and lactate-to-pyruvate ratio. However, perfusing the small intestine with 3% HES resulted in a significant loss of vascular fluid (p<0.01), an increased fluid accumulation in the intestinal lumen (p<0.001), an enhanced translocation of FITC-dextran from the vascular to the luminal compartment (p<0.001) and a significantly impaired intestinal galactose uptake (p<0.001). Morphologically, these findings were associated with an aggregation of intracellular vacuoles within the intestinal epithelial cells and enlarged intercellular spaces. CONCLUSION A vascular perfusion with 3% HES impairs the endothelial and epithelial barrier integrity as well as metabolic function of the small intestine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review and summarize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of hydroxyethyl starch (HES), as well as reported risks and benefits of HES infusion, and to provide administration and monitoring recommendations for HES use in dogs and cats. DATA SOURCES Veterinary and human peer-reviewed medical literature, including scientific reviews, clinical and laboratory research articles, and authors' clinical experience. SUMMARY HES solutions are the most frequently used synthetic colloid plasma volume expanders in human and veterinary medicine. The majority of research in human medicine has focused on the adverse effects of HES infusion, with emphasis on acute kidney injury and coagulation derangements. The studies often differ in or fail to report factors, such as the type, amount, interval, and concentration of HES administered; the patient population studied; or concurrent fluids administered. Currently, there is no definitive clinical evidence that the reported adverse effects of HES use in human medicine occur in veterinary species. There is little information available on HES administration techniques or simultaneous administration of additional fluids in human and veterinary medicine. The rationale for HES use in small animals has been largely extrapolated from human medical studies and guidelines. A controlled approach to intravenous fluid resuscitation using crystalloid and HES volumes titrated to reach desired resuscitation end point parameters is outlined for small animal practitioners. CONCLUSION The extrapolation of data from human studies directly to small animals should be done with the knowledge that there may be species variations and different pharmacokinetics with different HES solutions. Veterinary reports indicate that bolus and continuous rate infusions of 6% hetastarch solutions at moderate doses are well tolerated in feline and canine subjects. Further research in domesticated species is necessary to better define and expand the knowledge regarding use of HES solutions in small animal medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on acute peritonitis with three different rat models. METHODS Acute peritonitis was induced by three methods including intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), rats' feces or cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) operation. For each model, male Sprague Dawley rats were used and distributed into saline control group, HRW control group, saline plus model group, and HRW plus model group. Saline or HRW (3 ml per rat) was orally administered by gavage for 7 days beforehand and 3 days after modeling. The efficacy was tested by detecting concentrations of white blood cells (WBCs), plasma endotoxin, interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. The activities of malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and glutathione (GSH) in visceral peritoneum tissues were also evaluated. Meanwhile, histopathology examination of visceral peritoneum was performed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. The expression and location of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) in the visceral peritoneum were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Three models showed the same result that hydrogen-rich water had an efficient protective effect on acute peritonitis. HRW could significantly lower the levels of WBCs, plasma endotoxin and cytokines, enhance GSH activity and reduce MPO and MDA activities in the peritoneum tissue when compared with that of groups with only saline treated. Simultaneously, we found that HRW could also decrease the NF-κB expression in the peritoneum tissues. CONCLUSION Hydrogen-rich water could alleviate the severity of acute peritonitis, and it might perform this function by its anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation and anti-bacterial effects and reducing NF-κB expression in the peritoneum tissues.

Abstract
Andrographis paniculata is a traditional Chinese herb and displays diverse biological activities including antioxidation, anti-tumorigenesis, anti-virus, and anti-atherogenesis. In this study, we investigated the up-regulation of ethanolic extract of A. paniculata (APE) on the antioxidant defense in rat livers and whether this enhancement protected against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver damage. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were orally administered (i.g.) 0, 0.75, or 2 g/kg/d APE for 5 d. At d 6, rats were sacrificed and liver tissues were removed. Some animals (n=8) were intraperitoneally injected CCl4 (1 mL/kg, 50% in olive oil) and blood was drawn 24 h after CCl4 treatment. The results showed that APE increased hepatic glutathione (GSH) content and superoxide dismutase, GSH peroxidase, and GSH S-transferase activities in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.05). Results of immunoblotting and RT-PCR revealed that rats treated with APE had higher glutamate cysteine ligase catalytic and modifier subunits, heme oxygenase 1, superoxide dismutase 1, and GSH S-transferase Ya and Yb protein and mRNA expression than those of control rats. Moreover, APE increased Nrf2 nuclear translocation and Nrf2 binding to DNA in rat liver. In the presence of CCl4, APE decreased hepatic thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances production and plasma aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activities. These results suggest that APE protection against CCl4 insult is attributed, at least in part, to its up-regulation of antioxidant defense in rat liver.

Abstract
Berberine (Ber), the major constituent of Coptidis Rhizoma, possesses anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we investigated the effects of Ber on cigarette smoke (CS)-mediated acute lung inflammation. C57BL/6 mice (6-8 weeks) were exposed to CS to induce acute lung injury. Ber was used to pretreat CS-exposed mice (50 mg/kg, intragastrically). Lung tissues were collected for histological examination, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity assay, Western blot analysis, and electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was measured for cell counts and cytokine analysis. Histological examination showed that CS exposure caused infiltration of inflammatory cells into alveolar spaces and interstitial edema. Pretreatment with Ber significantly attenuated CS-induced lung inflammation. The numbers of total cells, macrophages, and neutrophils in BALF were decreased by 43, 40, and 53 %, respectively, by Ber pretreatment in CS-exposed mice, accompanied by decreased MPO activity, a marker of neutrophil accumulation. Ber pretreatment also profoundly diminished CS-induced secretions of macrophage inflammatory protein 2, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 in BALF, along with less nuclear translocation of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 subunit and lower NF-κB DNA-binding activity (P < 0.01). Thus, our results indicated that Ber ameliorates CS-induced acute lung injury through its anti-inflammatory activity.

Abstract
Colloids are frequently used for fluid expansion in the intensive care unit, although its use on several clinical scenarios remains unproven of any relevant clinical benefit. The purpose of this article was to carry out a narrative review regarding the safety and efficacy of colloids in patients with sepsis and septic shock, with emphasis on the most commonly used colloids, albumin and starches. Colloids are effective fluid expanders and are able to restore the hemodynamic profile with less total volume than crystalloids. These properties appear to be preserved even in patients with sepsis with increased capillary permeability. However, some colloids are associated with renal impairment and coagulation abnormalities. Starch use was associated with increased mortality in two large clinical trials. Also, starches probably have significant renal adverse effects and may be related to more need for renal replacement therapy in severe sepsis. Albumin is the only colloid that has been shown safe in patients with sepsis and that may be associated with improved outcomes on specific subpopulations. No trial so far found any robust clinical end point favoring colloid use in patients with sepsis. Because there is no proven benefit of the use of most colloids in patients with sepsis, its use should not be encouraged outside clinical trials. Albumin is the only colloid solution that has proven to be safe, and its use may be considered on hypoalbuminemic patients with sepsis. Nevertheless, there are no robust data to recommend routine albumin administration in sepsis. Starch use should be avoided in patients with sepsis because of the recent findings of a multicenter randomized study until further evidence is available.

Andrographis paniculata Extract and Andrographolide Modulate the Hepatic Drug Metabolism System and Plasma Tolbutamide Concentrations in Rats. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2013; 2013:982689.

Abstract
Andrographolide is the most abundant terpenoid of A. paniculata which is used in the treatment of diabetes. In this study, we investigated the effects of A. paniculata extract (APE) and andrographolide on the expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes in rat liver and determined whether modulation of these enzymes changed the pharmacokinetics of tolbutamide. Rats were intragastrically dosed with 2 g/kg/day APE or 50 mg/kg/day andrographolide for 5 days before a dose of 20 mg/kg tolbutamide was given. APE and andrographolide reduced the AUC0–12 h of tolbutamide by 37% and 18%, respectively, compared with that in controls. The protein and mRNA levels and enzyme activities of CYP2C6/11, CYP1A1/2, and CYP3A1/2 were increased by APE and andrographolide. To evaluate whether APE or andrographolide affected the hypoglycemic action of tolbutamide, high-fat diet-induced obese mice were used and treated in the same manner as the rats. APE and andrographolide increased CYP2C6/11 expression and decreased plasma tolbutamide levels. In a glucose tolerance test, however, the hypoglycemic effect of tolbutamide was not changed by APE or andrographolide. These results suggest that APE and andrographolide accelerate the metabolism rate of tolbutamide through increased expression and activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes. APE and andrographolide, however, do not impair the hypoglycemic effect of tolbutamide.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study compared the effects of hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4, hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5, and succinylated gelatin on oxidative stress and the inflammatory response in a rodent hemorrhagic shock model. METHODS Sodium pentobarbital-anesthetized adult male Wistar rats (200 g to 220 g) were subjected to a severe volume-controlled hemorrhage using arterial blood withdrawal (30 mL/kg to 33 mL/kg) and resuscitated with a colloid solution at the same volume as blood withdrawal (hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4, hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5, or succinylated gelatin). Arterial blood gas parameters were monitored. Malondialdehyde (MDA) content and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in the liver, lungs, intestine, and brain were measured two hours after resuscitation. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 in the intestine were also measured. RESULTS Infusions of hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4, but not hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5 or succinylated gelatin, significantly reduced MDA levels and MPO activity in the liver, intestine, lungs and brain, and it also inhibited the production of TNF-α in the intestine two hours after resuscitation. However, no significant difference between hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5 and succinylated gelatin was observed. CONCLUSIONS Hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4, but not hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5 or succinylated gelatin, treatment after hemorrhagic shock ameliorated oxidative stress and the inflammatory response in this rat model. No significant differences were observed after hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5 or succinylated gelatin administration at doses of approximately 33 mL/kg.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the use of polymerized stroma-free bovine hemoglobin (Hb-200) and 6% hetastarch 450/0.7 (HES 450/0.7) in 0.9% saline during fluid resuscitation of dogs with gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV). DESIGN Prospective, randomized clinical case series. SETTING Private specialty and referral clinic. ANIMALS Twenty client-owned dogs presenting with GDV. INTERVENTIONS Dogs presenting with GDV and abnormal perfusion parameters first received rapid IV infusion of a buffered isotonic replacement crystalloid (15 mL/kg) and IV opioids. Patients were then randomized to receive either Hb-200 (N = 10) or HES 450/0.7 (N = 10). Balanced isotonic replacement crystalloids (10-20 mL/kg IV) were rapidly infused along with either Hb-200 or HES in 5 mL/kg IV aliquots to meet resuscitation end points. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Resuscitation was defined as meeting at least 2 of 3 criteria: (1) capillary refill time 1-2 seconds, pink mucous membrane color, strong femoral pulse quality; (2) heart rate (HR) ≤ 150/min; or (3) indirect arterial systolic blood pressure (SBP) > 90 mm Hg. HR, SBP, packed cell volume, hemoglobin, glucose, venous pH, bicarbonate, base excess, anion gap, and colloid osmotic pressure were compared at hospital entry and within 30 minutes post-resuscitation. Compared to the HES group, the Hb-200 group required significantly less colloid (4.2 versus 18.4 mL/kg) and crystalloid (31.3 versus 48.1 mL/kg) to reach resuscitation end points (P = 0.001). Time to resuscitation was significantly shorter in the Hb-200 group (12.5 versus 52.5 min). CONCLUSIONS Dogs with GDV receiving Hb-200 during initial resuscitation required smaller volumes of both crystalloid and colloid fluids and reached resuscitation end points faster than dogs receiving HES 450/0.7 (P = 0.02).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several studies have revealed the adverse effect of one-lung ventilation (OLV) on pulmonary function. Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) is a principal transcription factor of proinflammatory genes. This study was designed to investigate the role of NF-κB in OLV-mediated lung injury. METHODS Male rabbits, weighing 2.2 ± 0.3 kg, were randomly divided into five groups: sham tracheostomized (Sham), OLV (V(T) = 10 ml/kg, FiO(2) = 1.0), two-lung ventilation (TLV, V(T) = 10 ml/kg, FiO(2) = 1.0), OLV preceded by the treatment with NF-κB inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC, 50 mg/kg, i.v.), and TLV with the PDTC pretreatment. Arterial blood gases, lung pathological changes, and production of proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-8) were assessed. NF-κB activation was determined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and western blotting of nuclear NF-κB p65. RESULTS The OLV significantly decreased the ratio of partial pressure of oxygen and fraction inspired oxygen (PaO(2)/FiO(2)) compared to the Sham group (p < .01). However, the TLV had no evident effect on the PaO(2)/FiO(2) ratio. The pretreatment with PDTC significantly reversed the OLV-induced reduction in the PaO(2)/FiO(2) ratio. The PDTC pretreatment also markedly attenuated the OLV-mediated lung injury and proinflammatory cytokine production. The OLV potentiated the NF-κB DNA binding activity assessed by EMSA and the NF-κB nuclear translocation. The OLV-mediated NF-κB activation was markedly inhibited by the PDTC pretreatment. CONCLUSION Our data collectively demonstrate that OLV can cause lung injury through the activation of NF-κB and the production of proinflammatory cytokines. Blocking NF-κB reduces lung inflammation and may be an effective strategy in the management of OLV-induced lung damage.

Hydroxyethyl starch reduces high stretch ventilation-augmented lung injury via vascular endothelial growth factor. Transl Res 2011; 157:293-305. [PMID: 21497777 DOI: 10.1016/j.trsl.2010.12.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2010] [Revised: 12/20/2010] [Accepted: 12/20/2010] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Disruption of epithelial and endothelial barriers found in patients with acute lung injury often results in the need for the support of mechanical ventilation. High tidal volume (V(T)) mechanical ventilation can increase lung damage through lung inflammation, but the mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesized that a colloid supply with hydroxyethyl starch would decrease neutrophil infiltration, lung edema, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production in mice exposed to high V(T) mechanical ventilation. Male C57BL/6 mice, weighing 20 g to 25 g, were exposed to high V(T) (30 mL/kg) mechanical ventilation with room air for 1 h to 5 h and infused with 15 mL/kg/h normal saline or hydroxyethyl starch intravenously at the beginning and every 30 min during ventilation. Evans blue dye, lung wet-to-dry weight ratio, histopathologic grading of lung tissue, myeloperoxidase, and inflammatory cytokine were measured to establish the extent of lung injury. Knockdown of VEGF by short interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to explore the role of VEGF. High V(T) ventilation induced the increases of microvascular permeability, neutrophil influx, expressions of VEGF mRNA and VEGF, production of VEGF protein, positive staining of VEGF in epithelium, and apoptotic epithelial cell death. Lung injury induced by high V(T) ventilation was attenuated with the supply of hydroxyethyl starch and pharmacologic inhibition of VEGF expression by siRNA. We conclude that hydroxyethyl starch reduces high V(T) mechanical ventilation-induced lung injury and neutrophil infiltration through an inhibition of VEGF expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of studies have shown that hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions are able to down-regulate the expression of inflammatory mediators and inhibit neutrophil-mediated tissue injuries when they are used in patients with sepsis or other diseases with severe inflammatory responses. However, our knowledge about the underlying mechanisms is limited. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling has a pivotal role in inflammatory processes. In this study, we examined the possible involvement of TLR4 signaling in the antiinflammatory effects of HES. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (10 mg/kg, IV) and received IV saline (30 mL/kg) or HES 130/0.4 (15 or 30 mL/kg). Six hours after LPS challenge, rats were killed and their lungs harvested. Lung injury was examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining. TLR4 mRNA expression, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 MAPK activation, and activator protein 1 (AP-1) activity in the lungs were detected with quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and electrophoretic mobility shift assay, respectively. RESULTS Compared with saline, HES profoundly attenuated the histological changes induced by LPS in the lungs at both dose levels. Molecular analysis showed that both 15 and 30 mL/kg HES significantly decreased TLR4 mRNA levels and inhibited activation of p38 MAPK and AP-1 in rats challenged with LPS, whereas activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 MAPK was not affected by either dose of HES. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that the beneficial effects of HES 130/0.4 on inflammation are mediated at least in part by inhibiting the TLR4/p38 MAPK/AP-1 pathway in lungs from rats challenged with LPS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Our lab has developed an effective nutrient-rich solution that facilitates energy production and control of oxidative stress during static cold storage of the intestine; however, the requirement for oncotic agents, such as hydroxyethylstarch (HES), has not been evaluated. This study investigated the effectiveness and requirement for HES in an intraluminal preservation solution during a clinically relevant period of cold storage. METHODS Rat intestines were procured, including an intravascular flush with University of Wisconsin solution followed by a 'back table' intraluminal flush with a nutrient-rich preservation solution containing varying amounts of HES (n=6 per group): Group 1, 0%; Group 2, 2.5%; Group 3, 5%; Group 4, 10%. Energetics, oxidative stress, and morphology were assessed over a 24h time-course of cold storage. RESULTS Overall, the 5% HES solution, Group 3, demonstrated superior energetic status (ATP and total adenylates) compared to all groups, P<0.05. Malondialdehyde levels indicated a reduction in oxidative stress in Groups 3 and 4 (P<0.05). After 12h, median modified Parks' grades for Groups 2 and 3 were significantly lower than Groups 1 and 4, P<0.05. CONCLUSION Our data suggests that when employing an intraluminal preservation solution for static organ storage, oncotic support is a fundamental requirement; 5% HES is optimal.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hydroxyethylstarches (HES) are thought to be beneficial in trauma and major surgery management, due to their volume expansion and anti-inflammatory properties. This study examined the use of 6% (HES) in burn resuscitation. METHODS 26 adult patients with burns exceeding 15% total body surface area (TBSA) were randomised to either crystalloid (Hartmann's solution) or a colloid-supplemented resuscitation regime, where 1/3 of the crystalloid-predicted requirement was replaced by 6% HES. RESULTS There was no difference in age, gender or TBSA between the two groups. The median (95% CI) fluid volume/%TBSA received in the first 24 h was 307 ml and 263 ml for the crystalloid only and HES-supplemented group respectively (p=0.0234, Mann-Whitney). Body weight gain within the first 24 h after injury was significantly lower in the HES-supplemented group 2.5 kg versus 1.4 kg respectively (p=0.0039). The median (95% CI) serum C-reactive protein at 48 h after injury was 210 (167-257) and 128 (74-145) mg/L for the crystalloid only and HES-supplemented group respectively (p=0.0001). Albumin-creatinine ratio per % burn (ACR, a marker of capillary leak) was lower in the HES-supplemented group at 12h after burn (p=0.0310). CONCLUSIONS Patients treated with HES-supplemented resuscitation required less fluid, showed less interstitial oedema and a dampened inflammatory response compared to patients receiving isotonic crystalloid alone.

Abstract
Abstract
Penehyclidine (PHCD) has been proposed to reduce lung and lethal toxicity. The present study was undertaken to investigate the mechanisms responsible for the protective effect of PHCD against acute lung injury (ALI) in rats. Tail-vein injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 5 mgkg−1) was used to induce ALI in rats. Secondary increases in total protein, lactate dehydrogenase activity in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and myeloperoxidase in lung tissue were used to evaluate the effects of PHCD on ALI in rats. Activated DNA binding activity and expression of nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) in lung tissue were measured using electrophoretic mobility shift assays assay and immunohistological staining. Levels and mRNA expression of tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Pretreatment with PHCD (0.03 mgkg−1, 0.1 mgkg−1 and 0.3 mgkg−1 i.p.) significantly attenuated the LPS-induced changes in lung injury parameters and inhibited the activation and expression of NF-kB in lung tissue. Furthermore, PHCD also substantially reduced the LPS-induced TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA expression and production in lung tissue and suppressed neutrophil recruitment. The results suggest that PHCD attenuates LPS-induced acute lung responses through inhibition of NF-kB activation and LPS-induced TNF-α and IL-1β production and resulting neutrophil recruitment associated with acute lung inflammation and injury. PHCD may be a useful adjuvant to treatment strategies targeting clinical situations of acute inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the effects of different resuscitation fluids on acute lung injury in a rat model of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (HS) followed by mimicked infection. METHODS Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to one of the five groups (n = 12 per group) to receive the following treatments: (1) control group (group C), surgery, no hemorrhage, and no resuscitation; (2) no fluid resuscitation group; (3) lactated Ringer's solution group; (4) 7.5% hypertonic saline (HTS) group; and (5) hydroxyethyl starch group (group HES). All experimental groups were subjected to three phases: phase I entailed massive hemorrhage with a mean arterial pressure of 35 mm Hg to 40 mm Hg for 60 minutes by tail amputation and followed by mimicked infection by intratracheal administration of lipopolysaccharide 2 mg/kg. The animals in each group were then partially resuscitated with the fluid assigned to the group. Phase II of 60 minutes commenced at tail ligation, involved hemostasis, and return of all the blood initially shed. Phase III was an observation phase with no any further treatment and lasted for 3.5 hours. The survival rate at the end of the phase III was recorded. After phase III, arterial blood gases were recorded. The wet to dry lung weight ratio, pulmonary microvascular permeability, the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1, and Smad2 were determined. The lung histology was also assessed. RESULTS HES and HTS solutions were more effective than no fluid resuscitation and lactated Ringer's solution in reducing the detrimental effects of HS and infection on the lungs, as seen by the significantly lower pulmonary microvascular permeability and wet to dry lung weight ratio, the improved arterial blood gases and lower levels of TGF-beta1and Smad2 expression in lung tissues. These beneficial effects were most pronounced in the group HES. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that resuscitation with HTS and especially with HES could reduce lung tissue damage and pulmonary edema after severe uncontrolled HS. The TGF-beta1/Smad2 signaling pathway might play a key role in regulation of pulmonary permeability and formation of pulmonary edema in a rat model of uncontrolled HS and infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was designed to evaluate the role of different intravascular volume replacement regimens of HES 130/0.4 on wound healing process in left colonic anastomoses in the presence of intra-abdominal sepsis induced by murine model of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). METHODS The left colonic anastomosis was performed in 40 rats that were divided into five groups (n = 8/group): saline controls (30 ml/kg); CLP plus saline (30 ml/kg); CLP plus HES (7.5, 15, or 30 ml/kg, respectively). Saline or HES was treated before the construction of left colonic anastomosis and on a regular daily basis. Anastomotic bursting pressures were measured in vivo on day 5. Tissue samples were obtained for analyses of hydroxyproline (HP) contents, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) activation. The plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-6 were also measured. RESULTS Intra-abdominal sepsis led to significant decreases in colonic anastomotic bursting pressures, and perianastomotic tissue HP contents and GSH levels, along with increases in perianastomotic tissue MPO activity, MDA levels and NF-kappa B activation and plasma levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6. After treated with HES, these provoked perianastomotic tissue MPO activity, MDA levels, NF-kappa B activation, and plasma levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6 were suppressed and GSH levels were restored, especially in 15 ml/kg HES group. Without obvious influence on systemic nutritional condition, HES 15 ml/kg but not HES 7.5 ml/kg significantly increased anastomotic bursting pressures, and perianastomotic tissue HP contents. However, HES 30 ml/kg even led to adverse effects on anastomotic bursting pressures. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that moderate doses (15 ml/kg) of HES 130/0.4 administration significantly prevented this intraperitoneal sepsis-induced impaired anastomotic healing of the left colon. It also suggested the possibility of poorer anastomotic healing receiving HES at higher doses (30 ml/kg). Clearly, HES 130/0.4 now should not be recommended to use at a high doses postoperatively in sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-abdominal sepsis and hemorrhagic shock have been found to impair the healing of intestinal anastomoses. The present study examined whether fibrin glue (FG) and recombinant human growth hormone (GH) can improve intestinal primary anastomotic healing in a pig model of traumatic shock associated with peritonitis. Further, the study was designed to investigate the probable mechanism of these agents. METHODS Female anesthetized pigs were divided into five groups. Group sham (n = 7), pigs without traumatic shock had small bowel resection anastomoses; group control (n = 14), pigs had bowel resection anastomoses 24 h after abdominal gunshot plus exsanguination/resuscitation; group FG (n = 14); group GH (n = 14); group FG/GH (n = 14), pigs received FG, recombinant GH, or both, respectively. Recombinant GH was given daily for 7 days. Blood samples were collected daily for measurement of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha levels. Investigations also included adhesion formation, anastomotic bursting pressure, tensile strength, hydroxyproline (HP) content, myeloperoxidase (MPO), tumor necrosis factor (NF)-kappaB activity, and histology analysis 10 days later. A second experiment (n = 20 subjects assigned to each of the five groups) was designed to study survival during the first 20 postoperative days. RESULTS Traumatic shock associated with peritonitis led to significant decreases in intestinal anastomotic bursting pressures, tensile strengths, and tissue hydroxyproline content, along with severe adhesion formation, increases in MPO activity and NF-kappaB activity, and plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Both FG and recombinant GH treatment led to early significant increases in plasma levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6. At the same time, FG alone, unlike recombinant GH alone, led to significant increases in anastomotic bursting pressures, tensile strength, and tissue HP content, along with decreases in anastomotic MPO and NF-kappaB activity and later plasma levels of TNF-a and IL-6. The FG group also developed more marked neoangiogenesis and collagen deposition on histology analysis. However, FG and recombinant GH synergistically effected improved anastomotic healing, abolishing the infaust effects promoted by recombinant GH. Adhesion formation after intestinal anastomosis could not be lowered by FG alone or by the combination of FG and recombinant GH. Both FG alone and FG/GH, in contrast to GH alone and control treatment, significantly prolonged the survival time of experimental animals. CONCLUSIONS We found that FG, but not recombinant GH, could lower the risk of anastomotic leakage, improve intestinal anastomotic healing, and prolong survival in a pig model of traumatic shock associated with peritonitis. Both FG and recombinant GH synergistically effected improved intestinal anastomotic healing. It was suggested that GH could be used locally to promote intestinal anastomotic healing in intra-abdominal peritonitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal priming solution for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is unclear. In this study, we evaluated the influence of high-volume priming with a modern balanced hydroxyethyl starch (HES) preparation on coagulation, inflammation, and organ function compared with an albumin-based CPB priming regimen. METHODS In 50 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, the CPB circuit was prospectively and randomly primed with either 1500 mL of 6% HES 130/0.42 in a balanced electrolyte solution (Na(+) 140 mmol/L, Cl(-) 118 mmol/L, K(+) 4 mmol/L, Ca(2+) 2.5 mmol/L, Mg(++) 1 mmol/L, acetate(-) 24 mmol/L, malate(-) 5 mmol/L) (n = 25) or with 500 mL of 5% human albumin plus 1000 mL 0.9% saline solution (n = 25). Inflammation (interleukins [IL]-6, -10), endothelial damage (soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1), kidney function (kidney-specific proteins alpha-glutathione S-transferase, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin), coagulation (measured by thrombelastometry [ROTEM, Pentapharm, Munich, Germany]), and platelet function (measured by whole blood aggregometry [Multiplate analyzer, Dynabyte Medical, Munich, Germany]) were assessed after induction of anesthesia, immediately after surgery, 5 h after surgery, and on the morning of first and second postoperative days. RESULTS Total volume given during and after CPB was 3090 +/- 540 mL of balanced HES and 3110 +/- 450 mL of albumin. Base excess after surgery was lower in the albumin-based priming group than in the balanced HES priming group (-5.9 +/- 1.2 mmol/L vs +0.2 +/- 0.2 mmol/L, P = 0.0003). Plasma levels of IL-6, IL-10, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 were higher after CPB in the albumin-based priming group compared with the HES priming group at all time periods (P = 0.0002). Urinary concentrations of alpha-glutathione S-transferase and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin were higher after CPB through the end of the study in the albumin group compared with the balanced HES group (P = 0.00004). After surgery through the first postoperative day, thrombelastometry data (clotting time and clot formation time) revealed more impaired coagulation in the albumin-based priming group compared with the HES priming group (P = 0.004). Compared with baseline, platelet function was unchanged in the high-dose balanced HES priming group after CPB and 5 h after surgery, but it was significantly reduced in the albumin-based priming group. CONCLUSION High-volume priming of the CPB circuit with a modern balanced HES solution resulted in reduced inflammation, less endothelial damage, and fewer alterations in renal tubular integrity compared with an albumin-based priming. Coagulation including platelet function was better preserved with high-dose balanced HES CPB priming compared with albumin-based CPB priming.

Abstract
This prospective, randomized controlled study evaluated the effects of acute hypervolaemic haemodilution (AHH) on the expression of plasma interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) and bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) in patients undergoing elective total hip replacement. Twenty patients were randomized to receive an infusion of either hydroxyethyl starch (HES group) or lactated Ringer's solution (LR group) immediately after anaesthesia. Plasma concentrations of IP-10 and BPI were measured before anaesthesia (baseline), at the start of surgery, 30 min after the start of surgery and at the end of surgery. Blood loss and the volume of blood transfused were significantly lower in the HES group compared with the LR group. Compared with baseline, IP-10 and BPI concentrations increased significantly in both groups 30 min after the start of surgery. The IP-10 concentrations were significantly lower and BPI concentrations significantly higher in the HES group compared with the LR group 30 min after the start of surgery and at the end of surgery. It is concluded that AHH with HES may be helpful in ameliorating immune function during total hip replacement and in reducing blood loss and the extent of blood transfusion.

[PMID: 19897171 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2009.01.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2008] [Revised: 01/14/2009] [Accepted: 01/16/2009] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was designed to investigate the role of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 on the wound healing process in left colonic anastomoses in the presence of intra-abdominal sepsis. METHODS The left colonic anastomosis was performed in 40 rats that were divided into 4 groups: (1) group SHAM, laparatomy plus cecal mobilization (n = 10); (2) group SHAM + HES, HES130/.4-treated controls (n = 10); and (3) group CLP, cecal ligation and puncture (n = 10); (4) group CLP + HES, CLP plus HES130/.4 (n = 10). HES130/.4 was administrated before the construction of colonic anastomosis, 15 mL/kg/24 hours and daily for 4 postoperative days. Anastomotic bursting pressures (ABPs) were measured in vivo on day 5. Tissue samples were obtained for analyses of hydroxyproline (HP) contents, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation. The plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-6, d-dimer, and protein C (PC) were also measured. Anastomotic granulation tissues were fixed for transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analyses. RESULTS Intra-abdominal sepsis led to significant decreases in colonic anastomotic bursting pressures, perianastomotic tissue HP contents, GSH levels, and plasma levels of PC, along with increases in perianastomotic tissue MPO activity, MDA levels, NF-kappaB activation, and plasma levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6, and d-dimer. However, HES130/.4 treatment significantly inhibited all these responses. TEM analyses revealed that there was a trend toward a higher density of fibroblast distribution and a higher rate of fibroblast activation in the SHAM- and HES 130/0.4-treated animals, compared with the CLP group. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that moderate doses (15 mL/kg) of HES 130/0.4 administration significantly prevented this intraperitoneal sepsis-induced impaired anastomotic healing of the left colon. This beneficial effect of HES 130/0.4 can be mainly attributed to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and beneficial effects of modulating endothelial-associated coagulopathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) has greater volume expansion effect and longer intravascular persistence than crystalloids. HES also decreases microvascular permeability and capillary leakage by biophysically plugging endothelial leaks, exerting an anti-inflammatory effect, and decreasing activation of endothelial cells. The aim of our study was to determine whether medium molecular weight HES (pentastarch) resuscitation in the early stage of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) simultaneously increases cardiac output without worsening pulmonary edema and whether it attenuates pulmonary vascular permeability. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Twenty-bed medical intensive care unit of a tertiary medical center. PATIENTS Twenty patients with early-stage ARDS. INTERVENTION Volume expansion with a 500-mL infusion of 10% pentastarch (HES 200/0.5) at a rate of 10 mL/kg/hr. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Baseline hemodynamics including systemic and pulmonary artery blood pressures, central venous pressure, pulmonary artery occlusion pressure, and cardiac output were obtained from an online HP Component Monitoring System and a pulmonary artery catheter. Intrathoracic blood volume (ITBV), global end-diastolic volume, extravascular lung water (EVLW), and pulmonary vascular permeability (EVLW/ITBV) were measured with a PiCCOplus monitor. Hemodynamic measurements were repeated immediately and 2, 4, and 6 hours after volume expansion. Pentastarch loading significantly increased central venous pressure, pulmonary artery occlusion pressure, pulmonary arterial pressures, and cardiac output. Pulmonary mechanics, venous admixtures, and EVLW values remained unchanged throughout the study. EVLW/ITBV significantly decreased immediately after the pentastarch infusion. CONCLUSIONS In patients with early ARDS, pentastarch resuscitation significantly improved their hemodynamics and cardiac output without worsening pulmonary edema and pulmonary mechanics. It even attenuated pulmonary vascular permeability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of hydroxyethylstarch (HES) 130/0.4 6% and gelatin 4% on inflammation, endothelial integrity, and renal function after cardiac surgery were compared. METHODS Sixty patients aged >80 yr undergoing cardiac surgery were randomized to receive gelatin (n=30) or HES 130/0.4 (n=30). The colloid was used in the priming of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit (500 ml) and for volume replacement until the second postoperative day (POD). Serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, IL-6, IL-10, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), urinary glutathione transferase-alpha, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) were measured perioperatively. Serum creatinine was also reported approximately 60 days after discharge. RESULTS The mean(sd) volume of gelatin infused was 4180(440) ml, which was greater than the volume of HES infused 2910(330) ml (P=0.002). The mean(sd) volume of serum creatinine on the first POD was 151(24) micromol litre(-1) in the gelatin group and 126(13) micromol litre(-1) in the HES group (P=0.004). Values for the second POD were 161(0.26) and 133(16) micromol litre(-1), respectively (P=0.004). Creatinine clearance was lower in the gelatin group on the first POD [37(7) vs 46(8) ml min(-1) 1.73 m2 (P=0.004)] and the second POD [32(8) vs 45(10) ml min(-1) 1.73 m2 (P=0.002)]. Kidney function approximately 60 days after discharge did not differ between the groups. IL-6, IL-10, and sICAM-1 were significantly lower in the HES group than in the gelatin group on the first and second PODs. Urinary alpha-GST increased in both groups to a comparable extent. Urinary NGAL concentrations were higher in the gelatin than in the HES patients 5 h after surgery and on the first and second PODs. CONCLUSIONS In cardiac surgery patients aged >80 years, volume therapy with HES 130/0.4 6% was associated with less marked changes in kidney function and a less marked endothelial inflammatory response than gelatin 4%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravascular volume therapy is crucial in septic patients to improve tissue perfusion and maintain stable hemodynamics. Modified fluid gelatins (MFG) and medium weight hydroxyethyl starches (HES) are the most widely used synthetic colloids. Our aim in this study, performed in septic rats challenged by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), was to investigate the effects of HES and MFG on pulmonary capillary leakage and to determine whether an antiinflammatory mechanism was involved. METHODS Animals were randomly allocated to eight groups: saline control; CLP and saline; CLP and HES (7.5, 15, and 30 mL/kg); CLP and MFG (7.5, 15, and 30 mL/kg). Each group had 20 rats, 10 of which were used for pulmonary capillary leakage and 10 for other measurements. Four hours after CLP, the specified doses of HES or MFG were infused. Six hours after surgery, pulmonary capillary leakage, levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1beta, and macrophage inflammatory protein-2, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 mRNA expression, myeloperoxidase activity, lung histological changes, and nuclear factor-kappaB activation were measured. RESULTS HES and MFG significantly attenuated the increase in capillary leakage in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, HES could decrease tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1beta, and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 expression, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 mRNA expression, myeloperoxidase activity, neutrophil infiltration, and nuclear factor-kappaB activation, whereas MFG could not. CONCLUSIONS HES may attenuate capillary leakage by modulating an inflammatory response, whereas an antiinflammatory mechanism was not involved in the effects of MFG on capillary leakage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Traumatic brain injury is frequently accompanied by a systemic inflammatory response. Systemic inflammation was associated with cerebral hyperperfusion uncoupled to global oxygen metabolism in ovine head trauma. The present study investigated the cerebral effects of cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) management performed by either fluid resuscitation or vasopressor treatment of low CPP induced by systemic inflammation. DESIGN Nonrandomized experimental study. SETTING University hospital laboratory. SUBJECTS A total of 12 adult sheep. INTERVENTIONS, MEASUREMENTS, AND MAIN RESULTS Sheep were anesthetized and ventilated throughout the experimental period (13 hrs). After baseline measurements (hour 0), blunt head trauma was induced by a nonpenetrating stunner. After postinjury measurements (hour 2), all animals received continuous endotoxin infusion. At hour 10, one group (n = 6) was infused with hydroxyethyl starch until CPP reached 60-70 mm Hg. A second group (n = 6) received norepinephrine for CPP elevation. In the norepinephrine group, blood was isovolemically exchanged by hydroxyethyl starch to achieve comparable hematocrit levels. Head trauma increased intracranial pressure and decreased brain tissue oxygen tension. Endotoxemia induced a hyperdynamic cardiovascular response with increased internal carotid blood flow in the presence of systemic hypotension and decreased CPP. Hydroxyethyl starch infusion further increased internal carotid blood flow from (mean +/- sd) 247 +/- 26 (hour 10) to 342 +/- 42 mL/min (hour 13) and intracranial pressure from 20 +/- 4 (hour 10) to a maximum of 25 +/- 3 mm Hg (hour 12) but did not significantly affect brain tissue oxygen tension, sinus venous oxygen saturation and oxygen extraction fraction. Norepinephrine increased internal carotid blood flow from 268 +/- 19 to 342 +/- 58 mL/min and intracranial pressure from 22 +/- 11 to 24 +/- 11 mm Hg (hour 10 vs. hour 13) but significantly increased sinus venous oxygen saturation from 49 +/- 4 (hour 10) to a maximum of 59 +/- 6 mm Hg (hour 12) and decreased oxygen extraction fraction. The increase in brain tissue oxygen tension during norepinephrine treatment was not significant. CONCLUSION We conclude that despite identical carotid blood flows, only CPP management with norepinephrine reduced the cerebral oxygen deficit in this model.
