Abstract
PURPOSE Characterize the impact of frailty on endogenous endophthalmitis (EE) development and clinical outcomes among septicemic patients. DESIGN Population-level, retrospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS Adult inpatients within the National Inpatient Sample (years 2002-2014) diagnosed with bacterial septicemia. METHODS Septicemic patients were classified as frail or nonfrail using the previously validated Johns Hopkins Adjusted Clinical Groups frailty-defining diagnoses indicator, and diagnosis of EE was abstracted from International Classification of Diseases 9 codes. We used multivariable logistic regression to generate odds ratios (ORs) for rates of EE development and in-hospital mortality based on frailty status. We also examined the association between frailty and blood culture-proven organism class, inpatient length of stay, and total charges billed to insurance. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Incidence of EE among septicemic patients; rates of EE development among frail and nonfrail patients; blood culture-proven microbe type, length of stay, and total charges billed to insurance. RESULTS 9294 of 18 470 658 (0.05%) inpatients with bacteremia developed EE, 2102 (22.6%) of whom had at least 1 frailty-defining feature (predominantly malnutrition [68%]). Odds of developing EE were 16.7% higher for frail patients (OR, 1.167; 95% confidence interval, 1.108-1.229) when controlling for age, sex, race, concomitant human immunodeficiency virus/AIDS, pyogenic liver abscess, infectious endocarditis, cirrhosis, and diabetes with chronic complications. Frail EE patients had a 27.9% increased odds of in-hospital death, independent of age, sex, race, and Elixhauser comorbidity score (OR, 1.279; 95% confidence interval, 1.056-1.549). Higher rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (14.3% vs. 10.9%, P = 0.000016), gram-negative bacteremia (7.6% vs. 4.9%, P = 0.000003), and concomitant candidemia (10.4% vs. 7.0%, P = 0.0000004) were associated with frailty. Hospital stays were significantly longer (median, 14 days; interquartile range, 19 days; P < 0.00001) and total charges billed to insurance were significantly greater (median, $96 398; interquartile range, $154,682; P < 0.00001) among frail EE patients. CONCLUSIONS Frailty syndrome is independently associated with development of EE in the setting of bacterial septicemia; frailty-associated EE may occur in patients with malnutrition and particular bacterial subtypes, and it predisposes to higher rates of in-hospital death and health care resource usage.

Abstract
Changing demographic trends have led to an increase in the overall geriatric trauma patient volume. Furthermore, the intersection of aging and injury can be problematic because geriatric patients have multiple comorbidities, geriatric-specific syndromes, and reduced physiological reserve. Despite mounting evidence that frail geriatric patients have inferior outcomes following trauma, very few studies have examined the effect of aging on the biological response to injury. In the present article, we review the current literature and explore the pathophysiological rationale underlying observed data, available evidence, and future directions on this topic.

Abstract
Several studies have been conducted over the years to unravel the structural information on the receptors that bind to tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) and the driving forces for the TRAF/receptor complex. In addition, studies have also been performed to highlight the influence of TRAF malfunctioning and mutations on the development of human disease. However, a holistic study that systematically summarizes the available information and the existing clinical trends towards development of the TRAF-targeting drugs has not been conducted to date. Herein, I reviewed existing research that focused on the structural information of various receptors recognized by the different members of the TRAF family. I also reviewed studies on the different human diseases that occur due to TRAF malfunctioning or mutations as well as the clinical trials undertaken to treat TRAF-associated diseases.

Abstract
Immunonutrition appears as a field with great potential in modern medicine. Since the immune system can trigger serious pathophysiological disorders, it is essential to study and implement a type of nutrition aimed at improving immune system functioning and reinforcing it individually for each patient. In this sense, the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-1 (NOD1), one of the members of the pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) family of innate immunity, has been related to numerous pathologies, such as cancer, diabetes, or cardiovascular diseases. NOD1, which is activated by bacterial-derived peptidoglycans, is known to be present in immune cells and to contribute to inflammation and other important pathways, such as fibrosis, upon recognition of its ligands. Since immunonutrition is a significant developing research area with much to discover, we propose NOD1 as a possible target to consider in this field. It is relevant to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms that modulate the immune system and involve the activation of NOD1 in the context of immunonutrition and associated pathological conditions. Surgical or pharmacological treatments could clearly benefit from the synergy with specific and personalized nutrition that even considers the health status of each subject.

Association between disease-related malnutrition and innate immunity gene expression in critically ill patients at intensive care unit admission. Cent Eur J Immunol 2021; 45:414-424. [PMID: 33658890 PMCID: PMC7882404 DOI: 10.5114/ceji.2020.103393] [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: 09/14/2020] [Accepted: 10/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the study was to analyse the relationship between nutritional disorders and the expression of innate antibacterial response genes in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). In 46 patients with severe malnutrition and life-threatening surgical complications, nutritional status tests were performed on the basis of the NRS 2002 (Nutritional Risk Screening) scale, cytokine, albumin, C-reactive protein concentrations, anthropometric tests, and body composition analysis. Concurrently, the expression of Toll-like receptor 2, NOD1, TRAF6, and HMGB1 genes was determined in peripheral blood leukocytes at the mRNA level using real-time polymerase chain reaction. It was found that both the nutritional status and the gene expression changed depending on the group of patients studied (including the group of survivors vs. non-survivors). Significant correlations were found between the results of routine tests used in the diagnostics of malnutrition (including NRS 2002, resistance, reactance, phase angle, excess of extracellular water) and the expression of the studied genes. Moreover, the expression of TRAF6 and HMGB1 genes correlated with the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scale and the age of the patients. The results of the research suggest that the expression of innate antibacterial response genes may be a new diagnostic tool complementing the assessment of nutritional disorders in surgical patients admitted to the ICU. These tests may be helpful in providing more accurate diagnostics of the genetic effects of malnutrition and in the monitoring of patients for whom nutritional treatment is planned to support the functions of the immune system, thereby increasing the effectiveness of this type of treatment in the ICU.

Abstract
Introduction Substantial causes of high mortality (30-50%) of people with severe infections treated in intensive care units (ICUs) are still inadequately known in terms of mechanisms and insufficient diagnostic tools for immune responses in sepsis. Material and methods The aim of this study was to establish a practical value of determining the concentration of chosen proteins (by ELISA) in peripheral blood as potential in early diagnostics of severe infections, paying special attention to their prognostic values. Results In 163 patients treated in ICUs, changes were assessed in the concentration of chosen proteins relating to the TLR4 receptor signalling pathway, including its effectors of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1Ra, TNF-α, sTNFR1, IL-6, IL-10, sTLR4, MyD88, TNFAIP3/A20, HSP70, and HMGB1). In the analysis of changes in the process of immune response in severely ill patients with and without infections, a significantly higher concentration of sTNFR1 was observed in patients with infections than those who deceased. In the ROC curves tests, it was noted that an assessment of the concentration of sTNFR1 proteins (AUC = 0.686 and cut-off point = 24.841 pg/ml) was a particularly efficient tool, with prognostic significance in patients with infections. Conclusions In other patients treated in an ICU, the efficiency of determining IL-6 (AUC = 0.736) was confirmed and at the same time, the effectiveness of this cytokine in predicting death in cases with infections was excluded. The results of the present study are encouraging, suggesting the benefits of undertaking multi-center clinical trials, which consider monitoring sTNFR1 in different groups of patients with infections treated in intensive care units.

Abstract
Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who develop chronic critical illness significantly stress the clinical capacity and financial resources of healthcare systems. Although vast improvements have been made in critical care management, outcomes for this ICU subset remain poor. A hallmark for patients who progress to chronic critical illness is the development of persistent inflammation and immunosuppression. The risk factors associated with the development of chronic critical illness include increased age, medical comorbidities, severe injury, septic shock, and malnutrition. Interestingly, each of these clinical states bears strikingly similar immune defects, often resulting in the activation of a persistent inflammatory state. Strategies aimed at the prevention or early recognition of this state of immune compromise may help improve outcomes for these individuals and minimize the number who progress to chronic critical illness. This review explores the current knowledge regarding the immune defects associated with the development of persistent inflammation, the ways in which it can manifest clinically, attempted therapeutic interventions to date, and future insights into improving outcomes for this patient population.

Abstract
Senior people constitute the fastest growing segment of the population. The elderly are at risk for malnutrition, thought to be caused by reduced food intake or involution of the physiological capacity of the GI tract. Age-related changes are well known in other secretory organs such as liver, kidney and intestine. The pancreas, representing a metabolically active organ with uptake and breakdown of essential nutritional components, changes its morphology and function with age. During childhood, the volume of the pancreas increases, reaching a plateau between 20 and 60 years, and declines thereafter. This decline involves the pancreatic parenchyma and is associated with decreased perfusion, fibrosis and atrophy. As a consequence of these changes, pancreatic exocrine function is impaired in healthy older individuals without any gastrointestinal disease. Five per cent of people older than 70 years and ten per cent older than 80 years have pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) with a faecal elastase-1 below 200 μg g-1 stool, and 5% have severe PEI with faecal elastase-1 below 100 μg g-1 stool. This may lead to maldigestion and malnutrition. Patients may have few symptoms, for example steatorrhoea, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and weight loss. Malnutrition consists of deficits of fat-soluble vitamins and is affecting both patients with PEI and the elderly. Secondary consequences may include decreased bone mineral density and results from impaired absorption of fat-soluble vitamin D due to impaired pancreatic exocrine function. The unanswered question is whether this age-related decrease in pancreatic function warrants therapy. Therapeutic intervention, which may consist of supplementation of pancreatic enzymes and/or vitamins in aged individuals with proven exocrine pancreas insufficiency, could contribute to healthy ageing.

Abstract
Purpose of Review This review presents an overview of the current knowledge of TRAF molecules in inflammation with an emphasis on available human evidence and direct in vivo evidence of mouse models that demonstrate the contribution of TRAF molecules in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. Recent Findings The tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-R)-associated factor (TRAF) family of cytoplasmic proteins was initially identified as signaling adaptors that bind directly to the intracellular domains of receptors of the TNF-R superfamily. It is now appreciated that TRAF molecules are widely employed in signaling by a variety of adaptive and innate immune receptors as well as cytokine receptors. TRAF-dependent signaling pathways typically lead to the activation of nuclear factor-κBs (NF-κBs), mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), or interferon-regulatory factors (IRFs). Most of these signaling pathways have been linked to inflammation, and therefore TRAF molecules were expected to regulate inflammation and inflammatory responses since their discovery in 1990s. However, direct in vivo evidence of TRAFs in inflammation and especially in inflammatory diseases had been lacking for many years, partly due to the difficulty imposed by early lethality of TRAF2-/-, TRAF3-/-, and TRAF6-/- mice. With the creation of conditional knockout and lineage-specific transgenic mice of different TRAF molecules, our understanding about TRAFs in inflammation and inflammatory responses has rapidly advanced during the past decade. Summary Increasing evidence indicates that TRAF molecules are versatile and indispensable regulators of inflammation and inflammatory responses and that aberrant expression or function of TRAFs contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esmolol is a highly selective beta 1 receptor blocker with various effects such as slowing heart rate, lowering blood pressure and reducing myocardial oxygen consumption. However, few studies have reported the use of beta blockers in sepsis with multiple organ dysfunctions. This study aimed to investigate the effects of esmolol on reducing apoptosis and inflammation in early sepsis rats with abdominal infection. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, sepsis group, antibiotic group, Esmolol + antibiotic group with low, median and high dose Esmolol (L group, M group and H group). Values between two or more groups were compared by independent t-tests. RESULTS In the liver and kidney, we found inflammatory infiltration in sepsis group while pathological aspects reduced in L, M and H groups. Bcl-2 mRNA and protein levels increased while Bax mRNA and protein levels decreased in the liver and kidney of L, M and H groups. Serum IL-6, HMGB-1 and TNF-α levels decreased but IL-10 level increased in L, M and H groups, compared to sepsis group. Compared to sepsis and antibiotic groups, the levels of myocardial enzymes were lower in L, M and H groups. CONCLUSION The administration of esmolol in early sepsis may reduce inflammation, inhibit apoptosis and protect key organs.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of preoperative hypoalbuminemia on the development of intra-abdominal septic complications (IASCs) after primary anastomosis for patients with Crohn’s disease (CD). Methods All CD patients undergoing bowel resection with a primary anastomosis during the study period from 2007 to 2015 were enrolled. The association of preoperative hypoalbuminemia (<30 g/L) with the risk for IASCs were assessed using both univariate and multivariate analyses. Results A total of 124 eligible patients were included, 117 (94.4%) of whom had available preoperative albumin level. Preoperative hypoalbuminemia occurred in 13 (11.7%) patients. The duration from diagnosis to surgery was longer for patients with preoperative hypoalbuminemia than those without (p = 0.012). Patients with preoperative hypoalbuminemia were more likely to have a history of preoperative use of 5-aminosalicylic acid (p = 0.013) and have an intraoperative finding of small bowel obstruction (p = 0.015). Of all patients, 24 (19.4%) developed postoperative IASCs. Univariate analysis showed that patients with preoperative hypoalbuminemia had an increased risk for IASCs (p = 0.012). Multivariate analysis confirmed the association between preoperative hypoalbuminemia and IASCs (odds ratio 4.67, 95% confidence interval: 1.28–17.04, p = 0.02). Similar findings were also obtained when preoperative albumin level was analysed as a continuous variable (p = 0.019). Conclusions Preoperative hypoalbuminemia is a significant predictor for the development of postoperative IASCs in CD patients after bowel resection with a primary anastomosis. Favorable preoperative nutrition status might lessen the risk for IASCs.
