Zhao X, Bie M. Value of C-reactive protein/albumin ratio in predicting the development of preoperative oxygenation impairment in patients with Stanford type-B acute aortic dissection. IJC HEART & VASCULATURE 2024; 50:101337. [PMID: 38282751 PMCID: PMC10821624 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcha.2024.101337] [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: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
Objectives We aimed to assess the predicting value of C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR) in the development of Oxygenation impairment (OI) in the patients with Stanford type-B acute aortic dissection (AAD). Methods This study included 133 patients (age = 58.8 ± 12.0 years, median age = 61 years, Male/Female = 117/16) diagnosed as Stanford type-B AAD accompanied by hypertension from July 2012 to May 2020. Clinical data were retrospectively extracted from the database. The patients in this study were divided into OI group (oxygenation index ≤ 200) and non-OI group (oxygenation index > 200). Clinical characteristics in both groups were compared, and predicting value of CAR in the development of OI was assessed. Results Patients in OI group had higher peak body temperature (37.94 ± 0.62 vs. 37.67 ± 0.51 ℃, P =.010), higher levels of serum CRP (41.74 ± 27.71 vs 15.21 ± 19.66 mg/L, P =.000) and plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (292.14 ± 251.11 vs 179.80 ± 241.27 ng/L, P =.016), lower levels of albumin (34.00 ± 5.14 vs 37.72 ± 5.24 g/L, P =.000), and higher CAR (1.27 ± 0.89 vs 0.41 ± 0.53, P =.000). In multivariate regression analysis, CAR (odds ratio: 5.215, 95 % CI: 2.682; 10.137, P =.000) and the peak body temperature (odds ratio: 2.905, 95 % CI: 1.255; 6.724, P =.013) could significantly predict the OI development. The AUC for CAR was 0.831 (95 % CI: 0.756-0.907). An optimal cutoff value for CAR for predicting OI was ≥ 0.70, with a sensitivity of 67.5 % and a specificity of 88.2 %. Conclusions Compared with CRP or albumin alone, the CAR might be a more accurate marker in predicting OI development in Stanford type-B AAD.

Abstract
Association of distinct inflammatory profiles with short-term mortality is little known in type A aortic dissection (TAAD). Latent class analysis was used to identify distinct inflammatory profiles based on leukocyte, neutrophils, monocyte, lymphocytes, platelet, fibrinogen, D-dimer, neutrophils-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio. We identified 193 patients with median age of 56 (IQR 47-63) years and 146 males. Patients were divided as hyper-inflammatory profiles (84 [43.5%]) and hypo-inflammatory profiles (109 [56.5%]). Although baseline characteristics were not different, hyper-inflammatory patients had higher 6-month mortality (20 [23.8%] vs. 11 [10.1%]; P = 0.014) and 30-day mortality (18 [21.4%] vs. 9 [8.3%], P = 0.009) than hypo-inflammatory patients. After adjustment for potential confounders, hyper-inflammatory profiles remain associated with higher risk of 6-month mortality than hypo-inflammatory profiles (adjusted OR 2.427 [95%CI 1.154, 5.105], P = 0.019). Assessment of preoperative inflammatory profiles adds clarity regarding the extent of inflammatory response to TAAD aetiopathologies, highlighting individual anti-inflammatory pharmacotherapy for TAAD.

Platelets reprogram monocyte functions by secreting MMP-9 to benefit postoperative outcomes following acute aortic dissection. iScience 2023; 26:106805.

Abstract
Platelets have a great ability to modulate immune responses. Monocyte-platelet aggregates (MPAs) are associated with the pathogenesis of cardiac disease. Notably, a low preoperative platelet count often indicates poor postoperative recovery following acute aortic dissection (AAD). The functions of platelets and MPAs in AAD, however, remain poorly understood. We found that, despite decreased platelet counts, platelets were also activated in AAD patients, with significant alterations in immune-modulating mediators. Of interest, monocytes in AAD patients had a suppressed immune status, which was correlated with poor outcomes following surgery. Interestingly, platelets preferentially aggregated with monocytes, and the levels of MPAs were related to recovery after surgical repair in AAD patients. Platelets restored suppressed monocyte functions in AAD patients by forming aggregates and partly by secreting matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). Thus, the results point to a previously unknown mechanism for platelets involving monocyte reprogramming, which may improve postoperative outcomes following complex cardiovascular surgery.

Abstract
Lipoxins and ATL appear to be the first recognized members of a new class of endogenous mediator that are anti-inflammatory or serve for the "pro-resolution" of inflammation. PGE2 can and may display anti-inflammatory properties in certain settings, but in most cases, it enhances inflammation in vivo. This is likely the result of numerous receptor isoforms and differential coupled mechanisms for PGE2 and its diverse role in human physiology. Since the integrated response of the host is essential to health and disease, it is important to achieve a more complete understanding of the molecular and cellular events governing the formation and actions of endogenous mediators of resolution that appear to control the magnitude and duration of inflammation. In view of the present body of evidence, it is not surprising that a protective action for inhibition of COX-2 was found in cardiovascular disease. Characterizing useful experimental systems with clinically relevant endpoints will also take a multidisciplinary approach and require a shift in our current thinking about inflammation and the role of lipid mediators.

Abstract
Acute aortic syndromes (AASs) are severe conditions defined by dissection, hemorrhage, ulceration or rupture of the thoracic aorta. AASs share etiological and pathophysiological features, including long-term aortic tissue degeneration and mechanisms of acute aortic damage. The clinical signs and symptoms of AASs are unspecific and heterogeneous, requiring large differential diagnosis. When evaluating a patient with AAS-compatible symptoms, physicians need to integrate clinical probability assessment, bedside imaging techniques such as point-of-care ultrasound, and blood test results such as d-dimer. The natural history of AASs is dominated by engagement of ischemic, coagulative and inflammatory pathways at large, causing multiorgan damage. Medical treatment, multiorgan monitoring and outcome prognostication are therefore paramount, with internal medicine playing a key role in non-surgical management of AASs.

Abstract
Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease with a dismal prognosis. Inflammation plays an important role in AD. Oxylipins are bioactive lipids involved in the modulation of inflammation and may be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of AD. This study aims to identify possible metabolites related to AD. A total of 10 type A Aortic dissection (TAAD) patients, 10 type B Aortic dissection (TBAD) patients and 10 healthy controls were included in this study. Over 100 oxylipin species were identified and quantified by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. Our investigation demonstrated substantial alterations in 91 oxylipins between AD and healthy individuals. Patients with TAAD had 89 entries accessible compared to healthy controls. According to orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), fitness (R2X = 0.362 and R2Y = 0.807, p = 0.03) and predictability (Q2 = 0.517, p = 0.005) are the validation parameters between the two groups. Using multivariate logistic regression, 13-HOTrE and 16(17)-EpDPE were the risk factors in the aortic patients group compared to healthy people (OR = 2.467, 95%CI:1.256–7.245, p = 0.035; OR = 0.015, 95%CI:0.0002–0.3240, p = 0.016, respectively). In KEGG enrichment of differential metabolites, the arachidonic acid metabolism pathway has the most metabolites involved. We established a diagnostic model in distinguishing between AD and healthy people. The AUC was 0.905. Oxylipins were significantly altered in AD patients, suggesting oxylipin profile is expected to exploit a novel, non-invasive, objective diagnosis for AD.

U-shaped relationship between platelet-lymphocyte ratio and postoperative in-hospital mortality in patients with type A acute aortic dissection. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2021; 21:569.

Abstract
Background The platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), a novel inflammatory marker, is generally associated with increased in-hospital mortality risk. We aimed to investigate the association between PLR and postoperative in-hospital mortality risk in patients with type A acute aortic dissection (AAAD).
Methods Patients (n = 270) who underwent emergency surgery for AAAD at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between January 2014 and May 2019 were divided into three PLR-based tertiles. We used multiple regression analyses to evaluate the independent effect of PLR on in-hospital mortality, and smooth curve fitting and a segmented regression model with adjustment of confounding factors to analyze the threshold effect between PLR and in-hospital mortality risk. Results The overall postoperative in-hospital mortality was 13.33%. After adjusting for confounders, in-hospital mortality risk in the medium PLR tertile was the lowest (Odds ratio [OR] = 0.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.06–0.66). We observed a U-shaped relationship between PLR and in-hospital mortality risk after smoothing spline fitting was applied. When PLR < 108, the in-hospital mortality risk increased by 10% per unit decrease in PLR (OR = 0.90, P = 0.001). When the PLR was between 108 and 188, the mortality risk was the lowest (OR = 1.02, P = 0.288). When PLR > 188, the in-hospital mortality risk increased by 6% per unit increase in PLR (OR = 1.06, P = 0.045). Conclusions There was a U-shaped relationship between PLR and in-hospital mortality in patients with AAAD, with an optimal PLR range for the lowest in-hospital mortality risk of 108–188. PLR may be a useful preoperative prognostic tool for predicting in-hospital mortality risk in patients with AAAD and can ensure risk stratification and early treatment initiation.

Association of Toll-Like Receptor 4 Gene Polymorphisms with Acute Aortic Dissection in a Chinese Han Population. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:8306903. [PMID: 33426065 PMCID: PMC7783515 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8306903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2020] [Revised: 11/23/2020] [Accepted: 11/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Background Inflammation may be involved in the pathogenesis of acute aortic dissection (AAD). Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is known to play a critical role in regulating the immune and inflammatory processes. To date, the relationship between genetic variation of TLR4 and AAD is far from clear. The purpose of our study was to illustrate the relevance of TLR4 polymorphisms with the susceptibility to AAD. Methods A total of 222 AAD patients and 222 controls were enrolled in this study. Frequency distributions of TLR4 polymorphisms (rs10759932 in the promoter and rs11536889 in the 3′-untranslated region) were determined by the KASP method. Clinical parameters were acquired from subjects' medical records, and serum TLR4 levels were collected from our previously published data. Results We found that rs10759932 polymorphism was associated with a reduced risk of AAD in the overall population (CC vs. TT: OR = 0.393, 95%CI = 0.164‐0.939, P = 0.036; recessive model: OR = 0.439, 95%CI = 0.196‐0.984, P = 0.045) and subgroup analyses stratified by sex. The GC genotype and dominant model of rs11536889 conferred a significantly higher risk of AAD compared with GG genotype in female subjects (GC vs. GG: OR = 3.382, 95%CI = 1.051‐10.885, P = 0.041; dominant model: OR = 3.043, 95%CI = 1.041‐8.900, P = 0.042). In addition, a significant interaction between the rs11536889 recessive model and dyslipidemia was observed for an increased risk of AAD (Pinteraction = 0.038, OR = 15.229) after the adjustment for potential clinical covariates. We also used the false-positive report probability (FPRP) analysis to validate the significant results. Furthermore, rs11536889 polymorphism could affect the maximal aortic diameters of AAD (P = 0.037), while AAD patients carrying CC genotype of rs10759932 showed lower serum TLR4 levels than TT genotype carriers (P = 0.043). Conclusions Our findings provide evidence for the association between TLR4 polymorphisms and AAD susceptibility in a Chinese Han population, which may have some implications for understanding the role of TLR4 in the pathophysiology of AAD.

Abstract
Background: Recently, considerable evidence pointed out monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) is highly related to inflammatory related diseases. We aim to explore the level of MHR in acute aortic dissection (AAD) patients and determine whether MHR can be a novel diagnostic marker of AAD. Research design and methods: A total of 228 subjects including 128 AAD patients and 110 healthy control were enrolled. MHR levels and other serum samples were obtained at admission. Results: The baseline MHR levels were significantly higher in patients with AAD (p < 0.0001). A cutoff value of MHR >0.37 was associated with a sensitivity of 86.70% and a specificity of 93.60% for AAD. MHR levels were positively correlated with the time from symptom onset (R2 = 0.0318, p = 0.0003). Additionally, the area under the curve (AUC) was increased to 0.979 in patients whose time from onset of symptoms >24 h, with a sensitivity of 98.04% and a specificity of 93.64%. Multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that MHR levels, history of hypertension, and coronary artery disease (CHD) emerged as independent predictors of AAD. Expert Opinion: MHR has a high diagnostic value in AAD patients, especially in those whose time from onset of symptoms >24 h.

Predictors for the development of preoperative oxygenation impairment in acute aortic dissection in hypertensive patients. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2020; 20:365. [PMID: 32778051 PMCID: PMC7416810 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-020-01652-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 08/04/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is an acute life-threatening cardiovascular disease, which is frequently complicated with oxygenation impairment (OI). We aim to investigate predictors of the development of OI in the patients with AAD. METHODS We retrospectively collected clinical data of AAD in hypertensive patients from July 2012 to March 2020. The patients included in this study were divided into OI (+) group (oxygenation index≤200) and OI (-) group (oxygenation index> 200). Both groups were compared according to demographic and clinical characteristics, and laboratory findings. Characteristics of hypertension in the patients with AAD were described. Predictors for the development of OI were assessed. And cutoff values were determined by receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve. RESULTS A total of 208 patients were included in this study and the incidence of OI was 32.2%. In OI (+) group, patients had significantly higher peak body temperature (37.85 ± 0.60 vs 37.64 ± 0.44 °C, P = .005), higher levels of CRP (42.70 ± 28.27 vs 13.90 ± 18.70 mg/L, P = .000) and procalcitonin (1.07 ± 3.92 vs 0.31 ± 0.77μg/L, P = .027), and lower levels of albumin (34.21 ± 5.65 vs 37.73 ± 4.70 g/L, P = .000). Spearman's rank correlation test showed that the minimum oxygenation index was positively correlated with albumin, and was negatively correlated with the peak body temperature, serum CRP, procalcitonin, BNP and troponin. The stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed that the peak body temperature, serum CRP and albumin were independently associated with development of OI. An optimal cutoff value for CRP for predicting OI was ≥9.20 mg/L, with a sensitivity of 91.0% and a specificity of 61.0%. CONCLUSIONS The peak body temperature, serum CRP and albumin were independent predictors of OI development in the patients with AAD. The serum CRP on admission≥9.20 mg/L might be a valuable and reliable indicator in predicting the development of OI.
