Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the value of serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels in the diagnosis of abscess and sepsis following transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) therapy among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients and Methods In this study, a retrospective review of patient charts was performed in 2221 patients who suffered from hepatocellular carcinoma and had undergone 8656 TACE procedures from January 2012 to January 2018. According to the diagnosis of infection and abscess after TACE, these participants were divided into infection group (group A, n=48) and abscess group (group B, n=35). Group B included subgroup B1 (suffered from liver abscess but no sepsis, n=16) and subgroup B2 (suffered from liver abscess and sepsis, n=19). The main observational indexes included sociodemographic characteristics and laboratory and clinical parameters. Results The results showed that the mean PCT and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were higher in group B, but receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed low sensitivity and specificity. Only the mean PCT level was higher in subgroup B2 than in subgroup B1 (P<0.001); the ROC analysis had high sensitivity and specificity. However, all other data such as NEUT (neutrophil count) and NEUTP (neutrophil percentage) showed no significant differences. Conclusion Serum PCT level was a promising inexpensive marker for the diagnosis of liver abscess and sepsis following TACE therapy among patients with primary liver cancer. A cutoff level of 5.1 ng/mL for PCT had high sensitivity and specificity in predicting liver abscess with sepsis.

The role of preoperative C-reactive protein and procalcitonin as predictors of post-pancreaticoduodenectomy infective complications: A prospective observational study. Indian J Gastroenterol 2017; 36:289-295. [PMID: 28752361 DOI: 10.1007/s12664-017-0770-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2017] [Accepted: 07/02/2017] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The common causes of morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) are infective complications. Till date, no specific preoperative markers have been identified to determine the probability of developing infective complications. We have studied the factors predicting the occurrence of the infective complication/s in the present study. METHODS The present prospective observational study included 133 consecutive patients who underwent PD from January 2011 to June 2016 at a specialized hepatopancreaticobiliary surgical oncology unit. The surgeries were done using a standardized technique. Postoperative complications were segregated into two categories-(a) infective (e.g. cholangitis) and (b) non-infective (e.g. delayed gastric emptying). Increased age, preoperative serum albumin levels, preoperative biliary stenting, pre-stenting serum bilirubin levels, duration of common bile duct stenting, preoperative C-reactive protein [CRP], and procalcitonin [PCT] were evaluated. RESULTS Overall morbidity rate was 48.8%. Morbidity associated with infective complications was 21.8%. Increased age, preoperative serum albumin levels, and pre-stenting serum bilirubin levels did not increase the rate of the infective complications. The association between preoperative PCT and preoperative CRP with the infective complications was significant with a p-value of <0.01 (6.75E-07) and <0.01 (4.80E-10), respectively. In the multivariate analysis, only the elevated preoperative procalcitonin was a statistically significant predictor of postoperative infective complications. CONCLUSION Preoperative PCT and CRP levels done 48 h before surgery are sensitive, specific, easily available, and cost-effective predictors of infective complications after PD.

Xiao Z, Wilson C, Robertson HL, Roberts DJ, Ball CG, Jenne CN, Kirkpatrick AW. Inflammatory mediators in intra-abdominal sepsis or injury - a scoping review. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2015; 19:373. [PMID: 26502877 PMCID: PMC4623902 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-015-1093-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2015] [Accepted: 10/07/2015] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Inflammatory and protein mediators (cytokine, chemokine, acute phase proteins) play an important, but still not completely understood, role in the morbidity and mortality of intra-abdominal sepsis/injury. We therefore systematically reviewed preclinical and clinical studies of mediators in intra-abdominal sepsis/injury in order to evaluate their ability to: (1) function as diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers; (2) serve as therapeutic targets; and (3) illuminate the pathogenesis mechanisms of sepsis or injury-related organ dysfunction. Methods We searched MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library. Two investigators independently reviewed all identified abstracts and selected articles for full-text review. We included original studies assessing mediators in intra-abdominal sepsis/injury. Results Among 2437 citations, we selected 182 studies in the scoping review, including 79 preclinical and 103 clinical studies. Serum procalcitonin and C-reactive protein appear to be useful to rule out infection or monitor therapy; however, the diagnostic and prognostic value of mediators for complications/outcomes of sepsis or injury remains to be established. Peritoneal mediator levels are substantially higher than systemic levels after intra-abdominal infection/trauma. Common limitations of current studies included small sample sizes and lack of uniformity in study design and outcome measures. To date, targeted therapies against mediators remain experimental. Conclusions Whereas preclinical data suggests mediators play a critical role in intra-abdominal sepsis or injury, there is no consensus on the clinical use of mediators in diagnosing or managing intra-abdominal sepsis or injury. Measurement of peritoneal mediators should be further investigated as a more sensitive determinant of intra-abdominal inflammatory response. High-quality clinical trials are needed to better understand the role of inflammatory mediators.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the C-reactive protein serum levels in patients with pulmonary and
abdominal sepsis during the first five days of sepsis progression. Methods The present investigation was a retrospective cohort study conducted at the
university hospital with 345 patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit
and diagnosed with sepsis of pulmonary or abdominal origin. Serum C-reactive
protein concentrations were measured by the turbidimetric immunoassay. For
analysis of C-reactive protein, day 1 was defined as the day on which the patient
was clinically diagnosed with sepsis. Results Thirty-four patients with sepsis (9.8%), 114 patients with severe sepsis (33.0%),
and 197 patients with septic shock (57.2%) were evaluated. The age of the patients
was 56.4±19.8 years. The serum C-reactive protein concentrations were higher on
the day of sepsis diagnosis in the group with abdominal infection compared with
the group with pulmonary sepsis (17.8±10.1 mg/dL versus 14.9±11.1 mg/dL, p=0.025)
and remained significantly higher during the first five days of sepsis
progression. Conclusion The serum C-reactive protein concentrations were significantly higher in the
patients with abdominal sepsis compared with the patients with pulmonary sepsis
during the first five days of sepsis progression.

Identification of four novel serum protein biomarkers in sepsis patients encoded by target genes of sepsis-related miRNAs. Clin Sci (Lond) 2014; 126:857-67. [PMID: 24303815 PMCID: PMC4202716 DOI: 10.1042/cs20130301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
The goal of the present study was to identify novel protein biomarkers from the target genes of
six serum miRNAs that we identified previously in patients with sepsis. The target genes were
predicted by bioinformatics analysis; the levels of the respective proteins in the sera of patients
with sepsis were detected by ELISA. ACVR2A (activin A receptor, type IIA),
FOXO1 (forkhead box O1), IHH (Indian hedgehog),
STK4 (serine/threonine kinase 4) and DUSP3 (dual specificity
phosphatase 3) were predicted to be the targets of the six miRNAs, and their encoded proteins were
used for biomarker identification. Levels of ACVR2A (P<0.01) and FOXO1
(P<0.01) were significantly different among normal controls, patients with
sepsis, patients with severe sepsis and patients with septic shock. Furthermore, levels of ACVR2A
(P=0.025), FOXO1 (P<0.001), IHH (P=0.001)
and STK4 (P=0.001) were differentially expressed in survivors and non-survivors.
DUSP3 levels were not significantly different between any groups. Conjoin analysis of the four
differentially expressed proteins showed that the area under the curve of the predictive
probabilities was 0.875 [95% CI (confidence interval): 0.785–0.965], which was higher than
the SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) and APACHE II (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health
Evaluation II) scores. When the value of predictive probabilities was 0.449, the four proteins
yielded a sensitivity of 68% and a specificity of 91%. Dynamic changes in ACVR2A, FOXO1 and IHH
levels showed differential expression between survivors and non-survivors at all time points. On the
basis of a combined analysis of the four identified proteins, their predictive value of 28-day
mortality of patients with sepsis was better than the SOFA or APACHE II scores. Four novel protein biomarkers encoded by the miRNA target genes were identified for patients with
sepsis. The combined analysis of the four proteins indicated that their predictive value for sepsis
prognosis was better than the values for the SOFA score and APACHE II score.
