Abstract
Severe burn injuries lead to acute kidney injury (AKI) development, increasing the mortality risk up to 28-100%. In addition, there is an increase in hospitalization days and complications appearance. Various factors are responsible for acute or late AKI debut, like hypovolemia, important inflammatory response, excessive load of denatured proteins, sepsis, and severe organic dysfunction. The main measure to improve the prognosis of these patients is rapidly recognizing this condition and reversing the underlying events. For this reason, different renal biomarkers have been studied over the years for early identification of burn-induced AKI, like neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), cystatin C, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2), interleukin-18 (IL-18), and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7). The fundamental purpose of these studies is to find a way to recognize and prevent acute renal injury progression early in order to decrease the risk of mortality and chronic kidney disease (CKD) onset.

Renal replacement therapy for acute kidney injury in burn patients, an international survey and a qualitative review of current controversies. Burns 2022; 48:1079-1091. [PMID: 34887124 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2021.08.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill burn patients and is associated with a number of serious adverse outcomes. The clinical decision-making process related to the management of AKI in burn patients is complex and has not been sufficiently standardized. The main aim of this study was to explore the diagnostic approach and clinician's attitudes toward the management of AKI and RRT in burn patients around the world. METHODS The questionnaire was widely distributed among the members of International Society for Burn Injury (ISBI), who were invited to complete the survey. Data collection and report was compliant with the the Checklist for Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys (CHERRIES) Web-survey guidelines. The survey form with multiple-choice questions was divided into 3 parts: a. physician and institutional demographics, b. AKI diagnostic information, c. technical aspects of RRT. RESULTS A total of 44 respondents worldwide submitted valuable data in the 2-month period. Of all respondents, 43.2% were from Europe, 30% from North America, 7% from South-East Asia 2.3% from Africa and 18.2% from other regions. 93.1% of participants declare that they use specific definitions to detect AKI, while 11.4% declare the use of renal ultrasonography for AKI diagnosis. CRRT appeared to be the most preferred option by 43.2% of participants, followed by intermittent hemodialysis (25%), and prolonged intermittent RRT (6.8%). The expertise to deliver a modality and the availability of resources were considered important factors when selecting the optimal RRT modality by 20.5% and 29.6% of respondents. The use of specific serum biomarkers for AKI diagnosis are stated by 16% of respondents; 25% of specialists refer to the use of biomarkers of AKI as a criterium for discontinuing the RRT. Femoral vena and right jugular vena were the most frequently used location for RRT temporary catheter placement, 54.6% of respondents declared using ultrasound guidance for catheter placement. CONCLUSIONS The majority of burn specialists use specific consensus classifications to detect acute kidney injury. Continuous renal replacement therapy appeared to be the most preferred option, while the expertise to deliver a particular modality and resources availability play a significant role in modality selection. The use of ultrasound and specific biomarkers for AKI evaluation is infrequent in routine clinical practice.

Prediction of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery: model development using a Chinese electronic health record dataset. J Transl Med 2022; 20:166. [PMID: 35397573 PMCID: PMC8994277 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-022-03351-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major complication following cardiac surgery that substantially increases morbidity and mortality. Current diagnostic guidelines based on elevated serum creatinine and/or the presence of oliguria potentially delay its diagnosis. We presented a series of models for predicting AKI after cardiac surgery based on electronic health record data.
Methods
We enrolled 1457 adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery at Nanjing First Hospital from January 2017 to June 2019. 193 clinical features, including demographic characteristics, comorbidities and hospital evaluation, laboratory test, medication, and surgical information, were available for each patient. The number of important variables was determined using the sliding windows sequential forward feature selection technique (SWSFS). The following model development methods were introduced: extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), random forest (RF), deep forest (DF), and logistic regression. Model performance was accessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). We additionally applied SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) values to explain the RF model. AKI was defined according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines.
Results
In the discovery set, SWSFS identified 16 important variables. The top 5 variables in the RF importance matrix plot were central venous pressure, intraoperative urine output, hemoglobin, serum potassium, and lactic dehydrogenase. In the validation set, the DF model exhibited the highest AUROC (0.881, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.831–0.930), followed by RF (0.872, 95% CI 0.820–0.923) and XGBoost (0.857, 95% CI 0.802–0.912). A nomogram model was constructed based on intraoperative longitudinal features, achieving an AUROC of 0.824 (95% CI 0.763–0.885) in the validation set. The SHAP values successfully illustrated the positive or negative contribution of the 16 variables attributed to the output of the RF model and the individual variable’s effect on model prediction.
Conclusions
Our study identified 16 important predictors and provided a series of prediction models to enhance risk stratification of AKI after cardiac surgery. These novel predictors might aid in choosing proper preventive and therapeutic strategies in the perioperative management of AKI patients.

Abstract
Background: Renal replacement therapy (RRT) was often needed by some severe burn patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). The primary aim of this study was to review incidence rate and mortality of RRT in severe burn patients. Second aims were to review RRT complications and renal outcome. Methods: We searched multiple databases for studies published between 1 January 1960 and 31 December 2019. Studies about adult populations with burn injury, providing epidemiologic data on prevalence or mortality of RRT, were included. Results: A total of selected 57 studies, including 27,437 patients were enrolled in our analysis. The prevalence rates of RRT were 8.34% (95% CI 7.18–9.5%) in all burn patients and 37.05% (95% CI 29.85–44.24%) in AKI patients. The mortality of all burn patients with RRT was 65.52% (95% CI 58.41–72.64%). The prevalence rates of RRT in sample size≥100 group were 6.86% (95% CI 5.70–8.03%), which was lower than that of <100 group (17.61%, 95% CI 13.39–21.82%). With the increase of TBSA, the prevalence of RRT may have the increasing trend. The prevalence rates of RRT in Asian group was 12.75% (95% CI 9.50–16.00%), which was higher than that of European (10.45%, 95% CI 7.30–13.61%) and North America group (5.61%, 95% CI 4.27–6.95%). The prevalence rates of RRT in 2010–2019 group was 12.22% (95% CI 10.09–14.35%), which was higher than that of 2009–2000 group (5.17%, 95% CI 2.88–7.46%). The prevalence rates of RRT in 1989 and before group was the lowest, which was 1.56% (95% CI 0–3.68%). However, there was no significant correlation between the year of publication and the mortality of burn patients with RRT. Dialysis-requiring AKI in burn patients could increases the risk of chronic kidney disease progression and end-stage renal disease. About 35% of RRT patients need to maintain haemodialysis temporarily, even if they survive and leave hospital. Conclusions: The prevalence rate of RRT is about 6–8%; approximately, one-third of burn patients with AKI need RRT. The prevalence rate of RRT increased over time, but the mortality did not change. The prevalence rates of RRT in Asian group was higher than that of European and North America group.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Comorbid conditions may adversely affect burn outcomes. Burn injuries remain one of the most prevalent injuries presenting to emergency departments. The current study compares the outcomes of burn injuries in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. METHODS A retrospective review of 705 burn patients admitted to the burn unit was performed. All adult patients (18 years old and above) who were admitted to the burn unit were included. The study compared the complications and outcomes of the diabetic and non-diabetic burn patient. RESULTS Patient were divided into diabetic (14%) and non-diabetic groups (86%). Diabetic burn patients were more likely to be older with a mean age of 58.7 years compared to 33.6 years in non-diabetic group (P=0.000). Inhalation injury was found in 3% of diabetic group compared to 14% of non-diabetic group (P=0.009). Diabetic patients were more likely to have associated medical comorbidities especially hypertension. Overall mortality rate was 13% and overall length of stay (LOS) was 28.4 days with no significant differences between groups. CONCLUSION Older age, hypertension and contact burns are significantly associated with DM in burn patients. No increased risk of burn-related infections, mortality and LOS were observed in the DM group.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the differences in the trajectory of blood biomarkers routinely assessed through forward- and backward-looking approaches among burn patients. This cohort study included patients above 18 years of age from February 2007 to December 2018. All the biomarkers were estimated from admission to discharge from the intensive care unit. Significant differences were observed in the platelet count at 40 days, prothrombin time (PT) at 32 days, white blood cell count at 26 days, creatinine levels at 22 days, and lactate and total bilirubin levels at 19 days before death. In reverse order, significant differences were observed in the fitted model in platelet count at 44 days and in the platelet count and PT at 33 days. We obtained more valuable information from the longitudinal biomarker trajectory using the backward-looking method than using the forward-looking method. The platelet count served as the earliest predictor of mortality among burn patients.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most severe complications of burn injury. AKI with severe burn injury causes high mortality. This study aims to investigate the incidence of and predisposing factors for AKI in burn patients. Methods This is a single-center, retrospective, descriptive criterion standard study conducted from June 27, 2015, to March 8, 2016. We used Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria to define and select patients with AKI. The study was conducted by recruiting in hospital patients who suffered from the flammable cornstarch-based powder explosion and were treated under primary care procedures. A total of 49 patients who suffered from flammable dust explosion-related burn injury were enrolled and admitted on June 27, 2015. The patients with more than 20% total body surface area of burn were transferred to the intensive care unit. Patients received fluid resuscitation in the first 24 hours based on the Parkland formula. The primary measurements were the incidence of and predisposing factors for AKI in these patients. Demographic characteristics, laboratory data, and inpatient outcomes were also evaluated. The incidence of AKI in this cohort was 61.2% (n = 30). The mortality rate was 2.0% (n = 1) during a 59-day follow-up period. The multivariate analysis revealed inhalation injury (adjusted OR = 22.0; 95% CI [1.4–358.2]) and meeting ≥3 American Burn Association (ABA) sepsis criteria (adjusted OR = 13.7; 95% CI [1.7–110.5]) as independent risk factors for early advanced AKI. Conclusions The incidence rate of AKI was higher in this cohort than in previous studies, possibly due to the flammable dust explosion-related burn injury. However, the mortality was lower than that expected. In clinical practice, indicators of inflammation, including ABA sepsis criteria may help in predicting the risk of AKI in patients with burn injury.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a highly common complication in intensive care units (ICUs). Novel biomarkers might accelerate the detection and management of AKI. We performed a systematic review aiming to evaluate the performance of biomarkers for early AKI diagnosis in ICUs. MEDLINE, BVS, CINAHL, COCHRANE and EMBASE were searched for studies (2006-2019) on the use of biomarkers for AKI diagnosis. Preselected biomarkers were cystatin C, chitinase-3-like protein-1 (UCHI3L1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), interleukin-18 (IL-18), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and interferon-gamma-inducible protein 10 (IP-10/CXCL-10), measured in plasma or urine. Eleven articles with total of 2,289 patients were included. The most cited biomarker was NGAL (n = 7 studies; 63.6%). Biomarkers with the highest sensitivity (se) and specificity (sp) were urinary heat shock protein (HSP-72) (se = 100%; sp = 90%) and urinary IL-18 (se = 92%; sp = 100%). All biomarkers' performance was influenced by the presence of comorbidities or AKI etiology. Although some biomarkers showed good performance, there was no externally validated biomarker for early AKI diagnosis. Thus, from this review, we did not indicate a novel biomarker to be promptly used in clinical practice. Prospective studies with a large number of patients are needed to expand knowledge in this field. PROSPERO registration number CRD42016037325.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in burn patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Our primary aim was to review incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in burn patients admitted to the ICU. Secondary aims were to review the use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) and impact on health care costs. Methods We conducted a systematic search in PubMed, UpToDate, and NICE through 3 December 2018. All reviews in Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews except protocols were added to the PubMed search. We searched for studies on AKI according to Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function, and End-stage kidney disease (RIFLE); Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN); and/or Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria in burn patients admitted to the ICU. We collected data on AKI incidence, risk factors, use of RRT, renal recovery, length of stay (LOS), mortality, and health care costs. Results We included 33 observational studies comprising 8200 patients. Overall study quality, scored according to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, was moderate. Random effect model meta-analysis revealed that the incidence of AKI among burn patients in the ICU was 38 (30–46) %. Patients with AKI were almost evenly distributed in the mild, moderate, and severe AKI subgroups. RRT was used in 12 (8–16) % of all patients. Risk factors for AKI were high age, chronic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, high Total Body Surface Area percent burnt, high Abbreviated Burn Severity Index score, inhalation injury, rhabdomyolysis, surgery, high Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, high Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, sepsis, and mechanical ventilation. AKI patients had 8.6 (4.0–13.2) days longer ICU LOS and higher mortality than non-AKI patients, OR 11.3 (7.3–17.4). Few studies reported renal recovery, and no study reported health care costs. Conclusions AKI occurred in 38% of burn patients admitted to the ICU, and 12% of all patients received RRT. Presence of AKI was associated with increased LOS and mortality.

Abstract
Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an independent and complicated risk factor in burn patients, which cause high mortality and morbidity rate. Diagnosing the biomarkers and early detection of AKI may be helpful in treatment and control the stability of these patients. In this study, we aim to identify predictive biomarkers in order to prevent AKI incidence and sudden death in burn victims. In this retrospective study, 258 burn patients who were admitted to burn center in Shiraz, Iran were evaluated during January 2016 to February 2018. Demographic characteristics, biochemical biomarkers, length of hospital stay, and mortality information were obtained from patient registries program and evaluated the biomarkers in identifying AKI patients into early and late groups. Receiver operating characteristic curve, area under the curve (AUC), univariate, and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to diagnose the performance of biomarkers in order to predict the AKI. Of 258 patients, 40 (15.50%) were detected as AKI, with estimated mortality rate of 76.9%. Among all the variables, total BSA (P = .01), blood urea nitrogen (BUN; P = .001), potassium (P = .02), and mortality (P = .03) were significantly different in AKI developing. Moreover, AUC of serum creatinin, albumin, and BUN as predictive biomarkers were 0.73, 0.44, and 0.707, respectively. Among all variables, BUN marker was independently associated with AKI developing. Following burn shock, AKI is a common complication that causes increasing mortality and morbidity. Early diagnosis and identifying the biomarkers is preventing sudden death in burn patients and develop appropriate treatments in these victims.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop a new prediction model to reflect the risk of mortality and severity of disease and to evaluate the ability of the developed model to predict mortality among adult burn patients. METHODS This study included 2009 patients aged more than 18 years who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) within 24 hours after a burn. We divided the patients into two groups; those admitted from January 2007 to December 2013 were included in the derivation group and those admitted from January 2014 to September 2017 were included in the validation group. Shrinkage methods with 10-folds cross-validation were performed to identify variables and limit overfitting of the model. The discrimination was analyzed using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve. The Brier score, integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), and net reclassification improvement (NRI) were also calculated. The calibration was analyzed using the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test (HL test). The clinical usefulness was evaluated using a decision-curve analysis. RESULTS The Hangang model showed good calibration with the HL test (χ2 = 8.785, p = 0.361); the highest AUC and the lowest Brier score were 0.943 and 0.068, respectively. The NRI and IDI were 0.124 (p-value = 0.003) and 0.079 (p-value <0.001) when compared with FLAMES, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This model reflects the current risk factors of mortality among adult burn patients. Furthermore, it was a highly discriminatory and well-calibrated model for the prediction of mortality in this cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in severe burns and can lead to significantly poorer outcomes. Although the prognosis has improved in recent decades, the mortality of AKI remains considerable. We investigated the factors that increase the risk of AKI and death after severe burn injury. METHODS Intensive care patients with ≥20% burned total body surface area (TBSA%) between January 2006 and December 2015 treated in Helsinki Burn Centre were enrolled retrospectively. Patients who arrived > 36 h after burn injury or died < 48 h from arrival were excluded. A total of 187 patients were included in the final analysis. Serum creatinine ≥120 μmol/l (1.4 mg/dl) was the criterion for AKI. RESULTS Fifty-one patients (27.3%) developed AKI during hospital stay and 21 (11.2%) required renal replacement therapy (RRT); 37 patients (19.8%) died during hospital stay. Mortality was significantly higher in the AKI group (52.9%) than in the AKI-negative group (7.4%). The Abbreviated Burn Severity Index (ABSI), Baux, and the modified Baux score were nearly equivalent in predicting mortality during ICU stay (AUC: 0.83-0.84). The risk of death and AKI were minimal with Baux scores < 80. LD50 was 112 for Baux score in all patients. In flame burns, the risk of death increased rapidly after Baux score > 80. Multivariate logistic regression model detected age, TBSA%, sepsis, and rhabdomyolysis as independent risk factors for AKI. Age (per 10 yrs. OR 1.99), TBSA% (per 10% OR 1.64), and AKI predicted mortality during hospital stay; AKI had an odds ratio of (OR) of 5.97 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.2-16.2). CONCLUSIONS Age, TBSA%, and AKI were the strongest independent factors in predicting outcome in severe burns. Even a major burn (> 50% TBSA) has a relatively good prognosis without simultaneous AKI. Prognosis is poorer even in minor burns for patients with AKI.

Abstract
Background Diagnosing acute kidney injury quickly is imperative since it is known as an independent risk factor for mortality in burn patients. We evaluated the diagnostic power of creatinine, cystatin, serum and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin at different time periods and observed the changes from baseline for each biomarker. Methods This was a prospective observation study from January 2015 to February 2016. A total of 84 patients were enrolled consecutively. Serum creatinine, serum cystatin C, and serum and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin were measured at admission, 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days after admission. All samples were collected until acute kidney injury developed. Results Acute kidney injury developed in 35 patients. The mean age was 49.6 years with a male predominance. The median urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin was the lowest (11.6 ng/dL) at admission, and the highest at 85.5 ng/dL on day 7. Mean creatinine level was the highest (0.88 mg/dL) at admission and the median creatinine level was the lowest (0.56 mg/dL) on the 14th day. The area under the curve of creatinine levels was the highest with 0.857 during the 1st week. The area under the curve of urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin was the highest with 0.803 during the 5th week. Conclusions Within 1 week of acute kidney injury, creatinine level was the optimal biomarker for diagnosis while urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin showed better diagnostic performance following the 4- week period.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a fatal complication of burn injury. Few systematic reviews to date have focused on the risk factors predisposing to AKI in patients with burn injury. The aim of this article is to identify the risk factors for the occurrence of AKI in burn patients, thus providing theoretical evidence for prevention and treatment. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies determining the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in patients with burn injury. An electronic search (up to April 2016) was performed using Pubmed, Embase, Web of Knowledge, and the Cochrane Library databases. Finally, a total of 18 articles (nine prospective cohort, seven retrospective cohort, two case-control) meeting the eligibility criteria were included. The pooled incidence of AKI was 39.6% (95% confidence interval = 34.7-44.4%). Significant risk factors for the occurrence of AKI included age (odds ratio [OR] = 3.78 [1.28-6.27]), TBSA (OR = 15.66 [11.01-20.31]), full-thickness TBSA (OR = 15.66 [11.01-20.31]), flame burn (OR = 1.56 [1.09-2.25]), inhalation injury (OR = 2.97 [1.80-4.89]), abbreviated burn severity index on admission (OR = 2.42 [1.87-2.98]), sequential organ failure assessment score on admission (OR = 2.69 [1.39-3.98]), baseline blood urea nitrogen (OR = 2.11 [0.72-3.51]), serum creatinine (OR = 2.69 [1.39-3.98]), and sepsis (OR = 4.42 [1.75-11.18]). In addition, burn patients with AKI are more likely to have long stay in intensive care unit and high mortality. AKI is a common complication and occurs at a remarkable rate in burn patients. We identified 10 variables as independent risk factors for the development of AKI in burn patients. Our findings may help clinicians to develop effective preventive and therapeutic strategies and provide appropriate, timely initial treatment.

Abstract
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is administered to critically ill patients with renal injuries as renal replacement or renal support. We aimed to identify predictors of mortality among burn patients receiving CRRT, and to investigate clinical differences according to acute kidney injury (AKI) status. This retrospective observational study evaluated 216 Korean burn patients who received CRRT at a burn intensive care unit. Patients were categorized by AKI status. Data were collected regarding arterial pH, laboratory results, ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen (PF ratio), and urine production. Among surviving patients, CRRT duration and the sequential organ failure assessment score were 6.5 days and 4.7 in the non-AKI group and 23.4 days and 7.4 in the AKI group, respectively (p = 0.003 and p = 0.008). On logistic regression analyses, mortality was significantly associated with a pH of <7.2 (p = 0.004), potassium levels of >5.0 mEg/L (p = 0.045), creatinine levels of >2.0 mg/dL (p = 0.011), lactate levels of >2 mmol/L (p<0.001), a PF ratio of <200 (p = 0.042), and a platelet count of <100,000/μL (p<0.001). In the AKI group, poor outcomes were associated with a pH of <7.2, potassium levels of <5.0 mEg/L, lactate levels of >2 mmol/L, and a platelet count of <100,000/μL, while good outcomes were associated with creatinine levels of >2 mg/dL. In the non-AKI group, poor outcomes were associated with lactate levels of >1.5 mmol/L, a PF ratio of <200, and a platelet count of <100,000/μL, while good outcomes were associated with creatinine levels of >1.2 mg/dL. Duration of the CRRT application and the requirement for either renal replacement or renal support at the initiation of CRRT application are important considerations depending on its application.

ER stress and subsequent activated calpain play a pivotal role in skeletal muscle wasting after severe burn injury. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0186128. [PMID: 29028830 PMCID: PMC5640216 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0186128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2016] [Accepted: 09/11/2017] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Severe burns are typically followed by hypermetabolism characterized by significant muscle wasting, which causes considerable morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present study was to explore the underlying mechanisms of skeletal muscle damage/wasting post-burn. Rats were randomized to the sham, sham+4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA, a pharmacological chaperone promoting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) folding/trafficking, commonly considered as an inhibitor of ER), burn (30% total body surface area), and burn+4-PBA groups; and sacrificed at 1, 4, 7, 14 days after the burn injury. Tibial anterior muscle was harvested for transmission electron microscopy, calcium imaging, gene expression and protein analysis of ER stress / ubiquitin-proteasome system / autophagy, and calpain activity measurement. The results showed that ER stress markers were increased in the burn group compared with the sham group, especially at post-burn days 4 and 7, which might consequently elevate cytoplasmic calcium concentration, promote calpain production as well as activation, and cause skeletal muscle damage/wasting of TA muscle after severe burn injury. Interestingly, treatment with 4-PBA prevented burn-induced ER swelling and altered protein expression of ER stress markers and calcium release, attenuating calpain activation and skeletal muscle damage/wasting after severe burn injury. Atrogin-1 and LC3-II/LC3-I ratio were also increased in the burn group compared with the sham group, while MuRF-1 remained unchanged; 4-PBA decreased atrogin-1 in the burn group. Taken together, these findings suggested that severe burn injury induces ER stress, which in turns causes calpain activation. ER stress and subsequent activated calpain play a critical role in skeletal muscle damage/wasting in burned rats.

Abstract
Outbreaks of cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) disease, also known as herpesviral hematopoietic necrosis, among cultured Prussian Carp Carassius gibelio has occurred each year in Jiangsu province, China, since 2009. In autumn 2014, hematological, blood biochemical, and histological changes in naturally infected moribund Prussian Carp were investigated after CyHV-2 was confirmed as the sole etiologic agent by etiological analyses. Total erythrocyte count, total leukocyte count, hemoglobin concentration, and thrombocyte count were significantly reduced (P < 0.01), whereas erythrocyte osmotic brittleness was significantly increased (P < 0.01) in infected fish compared with control fish. In addition, monocyte count was higher (P < 0.01) and lymphocyte count was lower (P < 0.01) in diseased fish than in control fish. The blood biochemical analyses indicated significant increases (P < 0.01) in the activities of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase as well as in the levels of total protein, globulin, total bilirubin, creatinine, and urea along with significant decreases (P < 0.01) in glucose and albumin in the diseased group. Histopathological examinations indicated that the kidneys and spleens of moribund Prussian Carp were the most severely lesioned organs, followed by the gills and hearts. Hypertrophied nuclei with marginated chromatin also appeared in the hearts and renal tubular epithelia from diseased fish. Pathological analysis of blood cells showed that approximately 78% of erythrocytes and 94% of leukocytes were lesioned with different levels of degeneration and necrosis in the diseased group. These previously unreported observations may be useful in the diagnosis of CyHV-2 disease. Received May 11, 2015; accepted March 24, 2016.
