Abstract
Patients undergoing coronary revascularization with extracorporeal circulation or cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may develop several biochemical changes in the microcirculation that lead to a systemic inflammatory response. Surgical incision, post-CPB reperfusion injury and blood contact with non-endothelial membranes can activate inflammatory signaling pathways that lead to the production and activation of inflammatory cells, with cytokine production and oxidative stress. This inflammatory storm can cause damage to vital organs, especially the heart, and thus lead to complications in the postoperative period. In addition to the organic pathophysiology during and after the period of exposure to extracorporeal circulation, this review addresses new perspectives for intraoperative treatment and management that may lead to a reduction in this inflammatory storm and thereby improve the prognosis and possibly reduce the mortality of these patients.

The effects of N-acetylcysteine on hepatic, hematologic, and renal parameters in cirrhotic patients: a randomized controlled trial. GASTROENTEROLOGY AND HEPATOLOGY FROM BED TO BENCH 2023; 16:432-440. [PMID: 38313355 PMCID: PMC10835090 DOI: 10.22037/ghfbb.v16i4.2443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
Aim To evaluate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) supplementation in cirrhotic patients. Background Chronic hepatic inflammation leads to fibrosis and cirrhosis through various mechanisms such as oxidative stress. NAC is one of the intracellular precursors of glutathione that can degrade most reactive oxygen species. Recently, the beneficial effects of NAC in animal and human studies on preventing liver injury progression and improving liver function have been examined. However, more studies on human subjects are still required. Methods Well-known cirrhotic patients with a specific etiology and aged 18 to 70 years who referred to the gastrointestinal clinic of Ayatollah Taleghani Hospital from December 2018 to December 2019 were enrolled in the present randomized double-blind controlled trial. Patients in the intervention group received NAC tablets at a dose of 600 mg daily, and the control group received a placebo. Demographic data, medical characteristics, and Child-Pugh and MELD scores evaluated at baseline and after 6 months. Results Totally, 60 patients completed the present study (30 patients in the intervention group, and 30 patients in the control group). Hematological and biochemical parameters were normal in both groups with no significant differences at baseline and 6 months after intervention values. Moreover, the renal function indicators including serum creatinine (Cr) and urea (BUN) decreased significantly after intervention. Hepatic parameters also decreased significantly 6 months after intervention. Decreases in the renal and hepatic parameters 6 months after baseline in the control group were not statistically significant. Conclusion The results of this study showed that NAC improved hepatic and renal function by decreasing serum urea and creatinine levels but had no significant effect on hematological and biochemical parameters. Furthermore, NAC significantly improved hepatic profiles by decreasing ALT, AST, and ALP in the liver enzymes between the intervention and control groups. Moreover, NAC caused a significant decrease in Child-Pugh and MELD scores.

High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I and T Kinetics Differ following Coronary Bypass Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Clin Chem 2022; 68:1564-1575.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac troponin I and T are both used for diagnosing myocardial infarction (MI) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), also known as type 5 MI (MI-5). Different MI-5 definitions have been formulated, using multiples of the 99th percentile upper reference limit (10×, 35×, or 70× URL), with or without supporting evidence. These definitions are arbitrarily chosen based on conventional assays and do not differentiate between troponin I and T. We therefore investigated the kinetics of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) and T (hs-cTnT) following CABG.
Methods
A systematic search was applied to MEDLINE and EMBASE databases including the search terms “coronary artery bypass grafting” AND “high-sensitivity cardiac troponin.” Studies reporting hs-cTnI or hs-cTnT on at least 2 different time points were included. Troponin concentrations were extracted and normalized to the assay-specific URL.
Results
For hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT, 17 (n = 1661 patients) and 15 studies (n = 2646 patients) were included, respectively. Preoperative hs-cTnI was 6.1× URL (95% confidence intervals: 4.9–7.2) and hs-cTnT 1.2× URL (0.9–1.4). Mean peak was reached 6–8 h postoperatively (126× URL, 99–153 and 45× URL, 29–61, respectively). Subanalysis of hs-cTnI illustrated assay-specific peak heights and kinetics, while subanalysis of surgical strategies revealed 3-fold higher hs-cTnI than hs-cTnT for on-pump CABG and 5-fold for off-pump CABG.
Conclusion
Postoperative hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT following CABG surpass most current diagnostic cutoff values. hs-cTnI was almost 3-fold higher than hs-cTnT, and appeared to be highly dependent on the assay used and surgical strategy. There is a need for assay-specific hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT cutoff values for accurate, timely identification of MI-5.

Abstract
It is hypothesized that liver impairment caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection might play a central role in severe clinical presentations. Liver injury is closely associated with severe disease and, even with antiviral drugs, have a poor prognosis in COVID-19 patients. In addition to the common hepatobiliary disorders caused by COVID-19, patients with pre-existing liver diseases demand special considerations during the current pandemic. Thus, it is vital that upon clinical presentation, patients with concurrent pre-existing liver disease associated with metabolic dysfunction and COVID-19 be managed properly to prevent liver failure. Careful monitoring and early detection of liver damage through biomarkers after hospitalization for COVID-19 is underscored in all cases, particularly in those with pre-existing metabolic liver injury. The purpose of this study was to determine most recent evidence regarding causality, potential risk factors, and challenges, therapeutic options, and management of COVID-19 infection in vulnerable patients with pre-existing liver injury. This review aims to highlight the current frontier of COVID-19 infection and liver injury and the direction of liver injury in these patients.

ASIAN-AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCES 2020; 33:1444-1454. [PMID: 32054204 PMCID: PMC7468165 DOI: 10.5713/ajas.19.0542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2019] [Accepted: 10/28/2019] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cold stress induces oxidative damage and impairs energy status of broilers. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) exhibits antioxidant properties and modulates energy metabolism of animals. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of NAC on energy status and antioxidant capacity of heart and liver in the cold-stressed broilers. METHODS The experiment consisted of 4 treatments in a 2×2 factorial arrangement with two diets (basal diet or plus 0.1% NAC) and two ambient temperatures (thermoneutral [conventional ambient temperature] or cold stress [10°C±1°C during days 15 to 42]). RESULTS No ascites were seen in cold-stressed broilers. NAC did not attenuate the impaired growth performance of stressed birds. However, NAC decreased plasma asparagine but increased aspartate levels in cold-stressed birds (p<0.05). NAC reduced hepatic adenosine triphosphate (ATP) but elevated adenosine diphosphate contents in unstressed birds (p< 0.05). The hepatic ratio of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to ATP was increased in birds fed NAC (p<0.05). NAC decreased plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) level and cardiac total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity in unstressed birds, but increased hepatic activities of T-SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase in stressed birds (p<0.05). NAC down-regulated hepatic AMP-activated protein kinase but up-regulated cardiac heme-oxigenase mRNA expression in stressed birds, and decreased expression of hepatic peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor coactivator-1α as well as hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in liver and heart of birds. CONCLUSION Dietary NAC did not affect energy status but enhanced the hepatic antioxidant capacity by increasing the activities of antioxidant enzymes in cold-stressed broilers.
