Abstract
PURPOSE Various basic and clinical studies have investigated the association between the types of anesthetic agents and prognosis. However, the results have varied among studies and remain controversial. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether the risk of all-cause mortality differs between inhaled or intravenous anesthetics in patients with gastric cancer undergoing gastrectomy. METHODS Using a Japanese nationwide insurance claims database, we analyzed patients who underwent gastrectomy under general anesthesia for gastric cancer between January 2005 and September 2019. Postoperative outcomes were compared between two groups: those who received inhaled anesthetics (Sevoflurane, Isoflurane, or Desflurane) and those who received intravenous anesthetics (propofol), using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. The primary outcome was overall survival. RESULTS Among 2671 eligible patients, 2105 were in the inhaled anesthetic group, and 566 were in the intravenous anesthetic group. The median (interquartile range) age was 58 (51-63) years, and 1979 (74.1%) were men. The median follow-up period was 795 days. We identified 56 (2.7%) and 16 (2.8%) deaths during the follow-up period in the inhaled and intravenous anesthetic use groups, respectively. There was no difference in postoperative overall survival between the two groups (hazard ratio, 0.97; 95% confidence interval, 0.56-1.70; P = 0.93). CONCLUSIONS We found no significant difference in the postoperative risks of overall survival between inhaled and intravenous anesthesia in patients with gastric cancer undergoing gastrectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE General anesthesia for Cesarean delivery affects maternal and neonatal outcomes. We aimed to evaluate temporal trends in anesthesia management for Cesarean deliveries over 16 years and analyze interinstitutional variations in general anesthesia use in Japan. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we obtained patient data from the nationwide health insurance claims database containing data for ten million individuals. We included patients who underwent Cesarean delivery between 1 January 2005 and 31 August 2021. The primary outcome was the use of general anesthesia. We evaluated institutional variations in general anesthesia use in medical facilities using two-level hierarchical logistic regression analyses with median odds ratios and intraclass correlation coefficients. RESULTS The cohort included 86,793 patients who underwent 102,617 Cesarean deliveries at 2,496 institutions. General anesthesia was used in 3.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.6 to 3.9) of all Cesarean deliveries. The temporal trend in the use of general anesthesia decreased gradually from 10.8% in 2005 to 2.9% in 2021 (P for trend < 0.001). The adjusted median odds ratio for medical facilities was 6.1 (95% CI, 5.9 to 6.7), and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.52 (95% CI, 0.51 to 0.55). CONCLUSION Although the rate of general anesthesia use for Cesarean delivery in Japan decreased gradually from 2005 to 2021, general anesthesia was used in 3.7% of all Cesarean deliveries. The use of general anesthesia varied significantly across institutions, and 52% of the overall variations in general anesthesia practice can be explained by differences between facilities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leak affects 8 per cent of patients after right colectomy with a 10-fold increased risk of postoperative death. The EAGLE study aimed to develop and test whether an international, standardized quality improvement intervention could reduce anastomotic leaks. METHODS The internationally intended protocol, iteratively co-developed by a multistage Delphi process, comprised an online educational module introducing risk stratification, an intraoperative checklist, and harmonized surgical techniques. Clusters (hospital teams) were randomized to one of three arms with varied sequences of intervention/data collection by a derived stepped-wedge batch design (at least 18 hospital teams per batch). Patients were blinded to the study allocation. Low- and middle-income country enrolment was encouraged. The primary outcome (assessed by intention to treat) was anastomotic leak rate, and subgroup analyses by module completion (at least 80 per cent of surgeons, high engagement; less than 50 per cent, low engagement) were preplanned. RESULTS A total 355 hospital teams registered, with 332 from 64 countries (39.2 per cent low and middle income) included in the final analysis. The online modules were completed by half of the surgeons (2143 of 4411). The primary analysis included 3039 of the 3268 patients recruited (206 patients had no anastomosis and 23 were lost to follow-up), with anastomotic leaks arising before and after the intervention in 10.1 and 9.6 per cent respectively (adjusted OR 0.87, 95 per cent c.i. 0.59 to 1.30; P = 0.498). The proportion of surgeons completing the educational modules was an influence: the leak rate decreased from 12.2 per cent (61 of 500) before intervention to 5.1 per cent (24 of 473) after intervention in high-engagement centres (adjusted OR 0.36, 0.20 to 0.64; P < 0.001), but this was not observed in low-engagement hospitals (8.3 per cent (59 of 714) and 13.8 per cent (61 of 443) respectively; adjusted OR 2.09, 1.31 to 3.31). CONCLUSION Completion of globally available digital training by engaged teams can alter anastomotic leak rates. Registration number: NCT04270721 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov).

Abstract
Providing standardized, high-quality rehabilitation for critically ill patients is a crucial issue. In 2017, the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine (JSICM) promulgated the "Evidence-Based Expert Consensus for Early Rehabilitation in the Intensive Care Unit" to advocate for the early initiation of rehabilitations in Japanese intensive care settings. Building upon this seminal work, JSICM has recently conducted a rigorous systematic review utilizing the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. This endeavor resulted in the formulation of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs), designed to elucidate best practices in early ICU rehabilitation. The primary objective of this guideline is to augment clinical understanding and thereby facilitate evidence-based decision-making, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of patient outcomes in critical care settings. No previous CPGs in the world has focused specifically on rehabilitation of critically ill patients, using the GRADE approach. Multidisciplinary collaboration is extremely important in rehabilitation. Thus, the CPGs were developed by 73 members of a Guideline Development Group consisting of a working group, a systematic review group, and an academic guideline promotion group, with the Committee for the Clinical Practice Guidelines of Early Mobilization and Rehabilitation in Intensive Care of the JSICM at its core. Many members contributed to the development of the guideline, including physicians and healthcare professionals with multiple and diverse specialties, as well as a person who had been patients in ICU. Based on discussions among the group members, eight important clinical areas of focus for this CPG were identified. Fourteen important clinical questions (CQs) were then developed for each area. The public was invited to comment twice, and the answers to the CQs were presented in the form of 10 GRADE recommendations and commentary on the four background questions. In addition, information for each CQ has been created as a visual clinical flow to ensure that the positioning of each CQ can be easily understood. We hope that the CPGs will be a useful tool in the rehabilitation of critically ill patients for multiple professions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. METHODS This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low-middle-income countries. RESULTS In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of 'single-use' consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low-middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. CONCLUSION This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high- and low-middle-income countries.

Abstract
Background Using neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBDs) for patients with myasthaenia gravis remains a challenge in perioperative management. Sugammadex has enabled the safe use of NMBDs. We investigated whether the adverse outcomes, and the treatment used for myasthaenic crises and tracheotomy, are affected by NMBD use in patients with myasthaenia gravis under general anaesthesia. Methods Patients with myasthaenia gravis who underwent general anaesthesia were retrieved from the Diagnostic Procedure Combination/Per-Diem Payment systems in Japan between 1 January 2010 and 30 November 2020. This database did not contain information on the severity of myasthaenia gravis (Osserman classification). Patients who received rocuronium and sugammadex were compared with those who did not receive NMBDs after propensity-score matching. We excluded patients who underwent emergency or cardiac surgery or tracheal intubation before anaesthesia. The primary outcome was receipt of postoperative treatment used for myasthaenic crises. Results Among 2304 surgical patients with comorbid myasthaenia gravis, propensity-score matching identified 788 patients administered rocuronium and sugammadex and 449 not administered NMBDs. On comparing the treatment used for myasthaenic crises, we found no significant difference between the two groups (6.2% vs 5.3%; hazard ratio, 1.14; 95% confidence interval, 0.70-1.85). Conclusions Use of rocuronium and sugammadex in patients with myasthaenia gravis did not significantly affect the receipt of postoperative treatment used for myasthaenic crises compared with no use of NMBDs. As well as the severity of myasthaenia gravis was not fully adjusted, it is unclear whether intraoperative administration of rocuronium with the use of sugammadex postoperatively is acceptable and further investigations are needed.

Abstract
Smoking is closely associated with the development of various cancers and tobacco-related illnesses such as cardiovascular and respiratory disorders. However, data are scarce on the relationship between smoking and both acute and chronic pain. In addition to nicotine, tobacco smoke contains more than 4000 different compounds. Although nicotine is not the sole cause of smoking-induced diseases, it plays a critical role in pain-related pathophysiology. Despite the acute analgesic effects of nicotine, long-term exposure leads to tolerance and increased pain sensitivity due to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor desensitization and neuronal plastic changes. The purpose of smoking cessation interventions in smoking patients with pain is primarily not only to reduce their pain and associated limitations in activities of daily living, but also to improve the outcomes of underlying pain-causing conditions and reduce the risks of tobacco-related disorders. This statement aims to summarize the available evidence on the impact of smoking on pain and to inform medical professionals of the significance of smoking cessation in patients with pain.

Abstract
The perioperative management of patients who are smokers presents anesthesiologists with various challenges related to respiratory, circulatory, and other clinical problems. Regarding 30-day postoperative outcomes, smokers have higher risks of mortality and complications than non-smokers, including death, pneumonia, unplanned tracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Given the benefits of smoking cessation and the adverse effects of smoking on perioperative patient management, patients should quit smoking long before surgery. However, anesthesiologists cannot address these issues alone. The Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists established guidelines in 2015 (published in a medical journal in 2017) to enlighten surgical staff members and patients regarding perioperative tobacco cessation. The primary objective of perioperative smoking cessation is to reduce the risks of adverse cardiovascular and respiratory events, wound infection, and other perioperative complications. Perioperative preparations constitute a powerful teachable moment, a "golden opportunity" for smoking cessation to achieve improved primary disease outcomes and prevent the occurrence of tobacco-related conditions. This review updates the aforementioned guidelines as a practical guide to cover the nuts and bolts of perioperative smoking cessation. Its goal is to assist surgeons, anesthesiologists, and other medical professionals and to increase patients' awareness of smoking risks before elective surgery.

Abstract
Background The joint committee of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine/Japanese Respiratory Society/Japanese Society of Respiratory Care Medicine on ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline has created and released the ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline 2021. Methods The 2016 edition of the Clinical Practice Guideline covered clinical questions (CQs) that targeted only adults, but the present guideline includes 15 CQs for children in addition to 46 CQs for adults. As with the previous edition, we used a systematic review method with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system as well as a degree of recommendation determination method. We also conducted systematic reviews that used meta-analyses of diagnostic accuracy and network meta-analyses as a new method. Results Recommendations for adult patients with ARDS are described: we suggest against using serum C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels to identify bacterial pneumonia as the underlying disease (GRADE 2D); we recommend limiting tidal volume to 4–8 mL/kg for mechanical ventilation (GRADE 1D); we recommend against managements targeting an excessively low SpO2 (PaO2) (GRADE 2D); we suggest against using transpulmonary pressure as a routine basis in positive end-expiratory pressure settings (GRADE 2B); we suggest implementing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for those with severe ARDS (GRADE 2B); we suggest against using high-dose steroids (GRADE 2C); and we recommend using low-dose steroids (GRADE 1B). The recommendations for pediatric patients with ARDS are as follows: we suggest against using non-invasive respiratory support (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation/high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy) (GRADE 2D), we suggest placing pediatric patients with moderate ARDS in the prone position (GRADE 2D), we suggest against routinely implementing NO inhalation therapy (GRADE 2C), and we suggest against implementing daily sedation interruption for pediatric patients with respiratory failure (GRADE 2D). Conclusions This article is a translated summary of the full version of the ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline 2021 published in Japanese (URL: https://www.jsicm.org/publication/guideline.html). The original text, which was written for Japanese healthcare professionals, may include different perspectives from healthcare professionals of other countries. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s40560-022-00615-6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The joint committee of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine/Japanese Respiratory Society/Japanese Society of Respiratory Care Medicine on ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline has created and released the ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline 2021. METHODS The 2016 edition of the Clinical Practice Guideline covered clinical questions (CQs) that targeted only adults, but the present guideline includes 15 CQs for children in addition to 46 CQs for adults. As with the previous edition, we used a systematic review method with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system as well as a degree of recommendation determination method. We also conducted systematic reviews that used meta-analyses of diagnostic accuracy and network meta-analyses as a new method. RESULTS Recommendations for adult patients with ARDS are described: we suggest against using serum C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels to identify bacterial pneumonia as the underlying disease (GRADE 2D); we recommend limiting tidal volume to 4-8 mL/kg for mechanical ventilation (GRADE 1D); we recommend against managements targeting an excessively low SpO2 (PaO2) (GRADE 2D); we suggest against using transpulmonary pressure as a routine basis in positive end-expiratory pressure settings (GRADE 2B); we suggest implementing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for those with severe ARDS (GRADE 2B); we suggest against using high-dose steroids (GRADE 2C); and we recommend using low-dose steroids (GRADE 1B). The recommendations for pediatric patients with ARDS are as follows: we suggest against using non-invasive respiratory support (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation/high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy) (GRADE 2D); we suggest placing pediatric patients with moderate ARDS in the prone position (GRADE 2D); we suggest against routinely implementing NO inhalation therapy (GRADE 2C); and we suggest against implementing daily sedation interruption for pediatric patients with respiratory failure (GRADE 2D). CONCLUSIONS This article is a translated summary of the full version of the ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline 2021 published in Japanese (URL: https://www.jrs.or.jp/publication/jrs_guidelines/). The original text, which was written for Japanese healthcare professionals, may include different perspectives from healthcare professionals of other countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The controversy concerning the benefits of pulmonary artery catheter (PAC)-based hemodynamic monitoring in cardiac surgeries has not been adequately addressed. This study aims to compare the all-cause mortality between the PAC with venous oxygen saturation monitoring and the Vigileo/FloTrac (FloTrac) system with central venous oxygen saturation monitoring in cardiac surgeries. METHODS This nationwide retrospective study includes adult patients who underwent elective cardiac surgeries between April 2010 and October 2014, based on the Japanese health insurance claims database. The main outcome was 30-day all-cause mortality. Propensity scores (PS) were used to adjust for the confounding factors. Treatment effects were estimated using multivariable logistic regression analysis, including PS. RESULTS A total of 5,838 patients were included in this study. The crude 30-day mortality rates were 2.4% (8/334) and 1.7% (96/5,504) in the FloTrac and PAC groups, respectively. After PS matching, the ORs for 30-day all-cause mortality, in-hospital mortality after PAC placement (vs. FloTrac) were 0.36 (95% CI: 0.05-2.37; p = 0.28) and 0.59 (95% CI: 0.16-2.20; p = 0.43), respectively. The amount of dobutamine was larger in the PAC group (281 ± 31 mg vs 155 ± 19 mg; p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the amounts of other inotropes, the volume of fluids, or blood transfusions. CONCLUSIONS The association between PAC (with venous oxygen saturation monitoring) and mortality in patients who underwent elective cardiac surgeries was unclear compared to FloTrac (with central venous oxygen saturation monitoring). Additional investigation is needed to evaluate the benefits of PAC-specific hemodynamic parameters in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence, clinical characteristics and prognosis of postoperative symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Japan. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. Two data sets, Contemporary ManageMent AND outcomes in patients with Venous ThromboEmbolism (COMMAND VTE) Registry and Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists (JSA) annual report, were used for current analyses. SETTING Eighteen of 29 centres participated in the COMMAND VTE Registry. PARTICIPANTS Acute symptomatic patients with VTE who had undergone surgery 2 months prior to the diagnosis at 18 centres from January 2010 to December 2013 were identified in the COMMAND VTE Registry. From each centre's JSA annual report, the overall population that had received anaesthetic management during this period was retrieved. INTERVENTIONS None. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was the incidences and clinical characteristics of postoperative symptomatic VTE. The secondary outcomes were recurrent VTE, major bleeding and all-cause death. RESULTS We identified 137 patients with postoperative symptomatic VTE, including 57 patients with pulmonary embolism. The incidences of postoperative symptomatic VTE and pulmonary embolism were 0.067% and 0.028%, respectively, based on data from 2 03 943 patients who underwent surgery, managed by anaesthesiologists, during the study period. The incidences of postoperative symptomatic VTE varied widely, depending on surgical and anaesthetic characteristics. Postoperative symptomatic VTE occurred at a median of 8 days after surgery, with 58 patients (42%) diagnosed within 7 days. The cumulative incidence, 30 days after VTE, of recurrent VTE, major bleeding, and all-cause death was 3.0%, 5.2%, and 3.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION This study, combining the large real-world VTE and anaesthesiology databases in Japan revealed the incidence, clinical features and prognosis of postoperative symptomatic VTE, providing useful insights for all healthcare providers involved in various surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac surgery is a highly invasive procedure resulting in hypercoagulability due to thoracotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The long-term use of selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors has been shown to increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular (CV) events such as myocardial infarction. This study aimed to determine whether short-term prescription of celecoxib increases CV events in patients who have undergone cardiac surgery with CPB. METHODS This retrospective observational study included 16,141 patients (≥20 years) who had undergone cardiac surgery with CPB between April 1, 2008 and March 31, 2016. Patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting were excluded. Patients who received celecoxib (n = 904) and acetaminophen (n = 5,002) from postoperative day 0 to 30 were extracted and matched by propensity score (PS). The primary outcomes were all-cause death and CV events, defined as coronary artery disease, ischemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, and venous thrombosis, coded using International Classification of Diseases-10 within 30 days after the first postoperative prescription of either medication. Results were assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis. RESULTS PS matching created 885 pairs. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that prescription of celecoxib after cardiac surgery was not associated with an increase in the primary outcomes when compared with prescription of acetaminophen (hazard ratio, 0.76; 95% confidence interval, 0.35-1.65). CONCLUSIONS The prescription of celecoxib in patients who had undergone cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass was not statistically different from the prescription of acetaminophen in the incidence of CV events and death.

Abstract
The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2020 (J-SSCG 2020), a Japanese-specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created as revised from J-SSCG 2016 jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in September 2020 and published in February 2021. An English-language version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese-language version. The purpose of this guideline is to assist medical staff in making appropriate decisions to improve the prognosis of patients undergoing treatment for sepsis and septic shock. We aimed to provide high-quality guidelines that are easy to use and understand for specialists, general clinicians, and multidisciplinary medical professionals. J-SSCG 2016 took up new subjects that were not present in SSCG 2016 (e.g., ICU-acquired weakness [ICU-AW], post-intensive care syndrome [PICS], and body temperature management). The J-SSCG 2020 covered a total of 22 areas with four additional new areas (patient- and family-centered care, sepsis treatment system, neuro-intensive treatment, and stress ulcers). A total of 118 important clinical issues (clinical questions, CQs) were extracted regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. These CQs also include those that have been given particular focus within Japan. This is a large-scale guideline covering multiple fields; thus, in addition to the 25 committee members, we had the participation and support of a total of 226 members who are professionals (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, clinical engineers, and pharmacists) and medical workers with a history of sepsis or critical illness. The GRADE method was adopted for making recommendations, and the modified Delphi method was used to determine recommendations by voting from all committee members.As a result, 79 GRADE-based recommendations, 5 Good Practice Statements (GPS), 18 expert consensuses, 27 answers to background questions (BQs), and summaries of definitions and diagnosis of sepsis were created as responses to 118 CQs. We also incorporated visual information for each CQ according to the time course of treatment, and we will also distribute this as an app. The J-SSCG 2020 is expected to be widely used as a useful bedside guideline in the field of sepsis treatment both in Japan and overseas involving multiple disciplines.

Abstract
The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2020 (J-SSCG 2020), a Japanese-specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created as revised from J-SSCG 2016 jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in September 2020 and published in February 2021. An English-language version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese-language version. The purpose of this guideline is to assist medical staff in making appropriate decisions to improve the prognosis of patients undergoing treatment for sepsis and septic shock. We aimed to provide high-quality guidelines that are easy to use and understand for specialists, general clinicians, and multidisciplinary medical professionals. J-SSCG 2016 took up new subjects that were not present in SSCG 2016 (e.g., ICU-acquired weakness [ICU-AW], post-intensive care syndrome [PICS], and body temperature management). The J-SSCG 2020 covered a total of 22 areas with four additional new areas (patient- and family-centered care, sepsis treatment system, neuro-intensive treatment, and stress ulcers). A total of 118 important clinical issues (clinical questions, CQs) were extracted regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. These CQs also include those that have been given particular focus within Japan. This is a large-scale guideline covering multiple fields; thus, in addition to the 25 committee members, we had the participation and support of a total of 226 members who are professionals (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, clinical engineers, and pharmacists) and medical workers with a history of sepsis or critical illness. The GRADE method was adopted for making recommendations, and the modified Delphi method was used to determine recommendations by voting from all committee members. As a result, 79 GRADE-based recommendations, 5 Good Practice Statements (GPS), 18 expert consensuses, 27 answers to background questions (BQs), and summaries of definitions and diagnosis of sepsis were created as responses to 118 CQs. We also incorporated visual information for each CQ according to the time course of treatment, and we will also distribute this as an app. The J-SSCG 2020 is expected to be widely used as a useful bedside guideline in the field of sepsis treatment both in Japan and overseas involving multiple disciplines.

The association between arterial pulse waveform analysis device and in-hospital mortality in high-risk non-cardiac surgeries. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2020; 64:928-935. [PMID: 32236951 DOI: 10.1111/aas.13584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [What about the content of this article?

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative goal-directed fluid therapy is used for haemodynamic optimization in high-risk surgeries. Cardiac output monitoring can be performed by a specialized pressure transducer for arterial pulse waveform analysis (S-APWA). No study has assessed whether real-world use of S-APWA is associated with post-operative outcomes; therefore, using a Japanese administrative claims database, we retrospectively investigated whether S-APWA use is associated with in-hospital mortality among patients undergoing high-risk surgery under general anaesthesia. METHODS Adult patients who underwent high-risk surgery under general anaesthesia and arterial catheterization between 2014 and 2016 were divided into S-APWA and conventional arterial pressure transducer groups, then compared regarding baseline factors and outcomes. Logistic regression analysis was performed to compare in-hospital mortality. Subgroup analyses evaluated S-APWA efficacy and outcomes based on the type of surgery and patients' comorbidity. RESULTS S-APWA was used in 6859 of 23 655 (29.0%) patients; the crude in-hospital mortality rate was 3.5%. Adjusted analysis showed no significant association between S-APWA use and in-hospital mortality rate (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.76-1.07; P = .25). S-APWA use was associated with significantly lower in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing vascular surgery (aOR = 0.67; 95% CI: 0.49-0.94), and significantly higher in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing lower limb amputation (aOR = 2.63; 95% CI: 1.32-5.22). S-APWA use and in-hospital mortality were not significantly associated with other subgroups. CONCLUSION S-APWA use was not associated with in-hospital mortality in the entire study population. However, S-APWA was associated with decreased in-hospital mortality among vascular surgery and increased in-hospital mortality among lower limb amputation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the prevalence and factors associated with preoperative haemostasis and ABO blood typing tests for children because these tests might represent low-value care. DESIGN A retrospective observational study. SETTING Nationwide insurance claims database in Japan. PARTICIPANTS Patients aged 1-17 years who underwent common non-cardiac surgeries between April 2012 and March 2018 were included. Patients with high-risk comorbidities for bleeding (n=175) and those with multiple eligible surgeries were excluded (n=2121). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We described the proportions of each preoperative test performed within 60 days before an index surgery, including platelet count, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and ABO blood typing tests. We also explored the associations between patient-level and institutional-level factors and any preoperative tests, using multilevel logistic regression analysis. RESULTS We included 13 018 patients (median (IQR) age, 5.2 (2.9-7.7) years; 8276 (63.6%) boys) from 1499 institutions. The overall proportion of each test was as follows: platelet count, 78.6%; PT, 54.4%; aPTT, 56.4% and ABO blood typing tests, 50.4%. The proportion of patients undergoing any preoperative tests in the overall sample was 79.3%. Multilevel logistic regression analysis indicated that preoperative tests were associated with type of anaesthesia (general anaesthesia: adjusted OR 7.06; 95% CI 4.94 to 10.11), type of surgery (tonsillectomy: adjusted OR 3.45; 95% CI 2.75 to 4.33) and surgical setting (inpatient procedure: adjusted OR 5.41; 95% CI 3.83 to 7.66). There was one postoperative transfusion event (0.008%) in the entire cohort and 37 postoperative reoperation events for surgical bleeding after tonsillectomy (0.90%). CONCLUSIONS In the largest Japanese cohort reported to date, preoperative haemostasis and ABO blood typing tests were performed in a majority of children prior to common paediatric surgeries. Preoperative tests were associated with anaesthesia, surgical type and surgical setting.

Abstract
PURPOSE Transthoracic esophagectomy is an invasive surgery, and the excessive surgical stress produces inflammatory cytokines, which provoke acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Sivelestat sodium hydrate-a selective neutrophil elastase inhibitor-is used to treat or prevent ARDS in patients undergoing esophagectomy, although clear evidence is lacking. We investigated the benefits and risk of prophylactic sivelestat. METHODS This retrospective study used an administrative claims database in Japan. Adult patients who underwent transthoracic esophagectomy from 2010 to 2016 were identified and divided into a prophylactic sivelestat use group and a non-prophylactic use group that included both non-users and therapeutic users. The primary outcome was all-cause in-hospital mortality, and a secondary outcome included the proportion of ARDS. We used 1:1 propensity score matching. For sensitivity analyses, we conducted a 1:2 propensity score matching analysis and several analyses with various patient inclusion criteria. RESULTS Of the 3391 patients with esophagectomy, 621 received prophylactic sivelestat. On unadjusted analysis, the sivelestat group had a higher proportion of in-hospital mortality (5.3% vs. 2.9%) compared with the control group. We created a matched cohort of 615 pairs, whose baseline characteristics were well balanced. On adjusted analysis using propensity score matching, prophylactic sivelestat administration was not associated with decreased in-hospital mortality [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.65; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.95-2.88], ARDS rate (aOR 1.25; 95% CI 0.49-3.17). The findings were also consistent with other sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION Because mortality and postoperative complications were similar, our findings do not support prophylactic sivelestat administration for patients undergoing esophagectomy.

Abstract
This case report describes a 71-year-old woman who experienced unusual delayed emergence from propofol, which lasted for 3 hours and resulted in admission to the intensive care unit. Because genetic variations of propofol-metabolizing enzymes are proposed to be causal factors, we explored genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) and uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 (UGT1A9). Suggested high-risk factors (advanced age, CYP2B6 516 G/T, and UGT1A9 I399 C/C) were observed in this case of delayed propofol metabolism. Therefore, genetic variants involved in propofol metabolism should be considered in unexplained delayed emergence.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Limited data are available regarding the anesthetic management and outcome of patients undergoing pure laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and robotic-assisted LRP (RALP). Therefore, our primary objective was to compare the anesthetic management between these 2 groups. Our secondary objective was to determine the incidence of adverse outcomes associated with RALP, which requires an extreme Trendelenburg position. DESIGN A retrospective observational study. SETTING University teaching hospital. PATIENTS A total of 223 men, consisting of 97 LRP patients and 126 RALP patients, treated during a 3-year period (January 2010-December 2012) were retrospectively studied. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS Information on patient demographics, type of anesthesia, anesthetic/pneumoperitoneum/surgical times, intraoperative fluids and blood products, estimated blood loss, intraoperative and postoperative opioid use, postoperative analgesic consumption, length of stay in the postanesthesia care unit, postoperative complications, and hospital stays was collected and compared. MAIN RESULTS The estimated blood loss was higher in LRP patients than in RALP patients (median, 550 mL vs 200 mL; P < .001). Likewise, 24% of the LRP patients received intraoperative transfusions compared with 0.79% of the RALP patients (P < .001). The RALP patients had a longer anesthesia time (median, 276 vs 259 minutes; P = .032) and a greater intraoperative use of opioids (P < .001). The incidence of complications was similar in both groups with the exception of postoperative nausea and vomiting, which were observed more frequently among the RALP patients than among the LRP patients (33% vs 16%; P = .007). CONCLUSIONS This is the first report to compare the anesthetic management of RALP vs LRP. Anesthesiologists can expect RALP surgery to be associated with less blood loss and a need for fewer blood products than traditional LRP surgery. The anesthetic outcome of RALP was generally satisfactory except for a high incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common but serious complication after major surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and effects on outcome of POD in esophagectomy patients, and to identify risk factors for developing POD. METHODS A retrospective medical record review was conducted for all patients who had received esophagectomy for esophageal cancer during a three-year period. RESULTS In a total of 71 patients, the overall incidence of POD was 20%. Multivariable regression analysis identified two independent risk factors for POD: older age (70) and preoperative electrolyte abnormalities. Patients with delirium had a higher incidence of respiratory complications and longer hospital stays compared with the non-delirium patients. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of POD in patients undergoing esophagectomy is 20%. The risk factors of POD are older age and preoperative electrolyte abnormalities. POD negatively impacts postoperative respiratory complications and hospital stay.

Abstract
Unroofed coronary sinus (URCS) is a rare cardiac anomaly, in which communication occurs between the coronary sinus (CS) and the left atrium (LA) because of partial or complete absence of the CS roof. A 30-year-old woman was scheduled for surgical closure of atrial septal defect, mitral valve repair and tricuspid annuloplasty. The intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed left-to-right shunt between the CS and the LA. The three-dimensional (3D) TEE confirmed the diagnosis of partially URCS. This defect was repaired with a pericardial patch. In this case, the 3D images of URCS, which were a helpful supplement to the 2D images, providing better visualization of the wall defect and more information regarding the size and location of the defect. The combined use of 2D and 3D images provides valuable information to aid in understanding the anatomy and morphology of this rare anomaly.

Abstract
We have developed an antisense-oriented method for functional gene screening, which we termed "antisense display." After evaluation in a cell-free system, we applied this method to a cellular system for isolating angiogenesis-related genes and came across a gene previously not described in humans. A screen of 10 mer antisense repertoire led to the identification of a unique 'angiostatic' antisense, and the gene corresponding to it was found to be preferentially expressed in vascular endothelial cells, coding for a putative type-2 membrane protein containing Rab-GAP/TBC and EF-hand-like domains. We named it vascular Rab-GAP/TBC domain-containing protein (VRP). The results obtained thus indicate that the antisense display method is useful for the isolation of functional genes responsible for phenotypes concerned.

Abstract
Endostatin is a potent anti-angiogenic factor derived from the C-terminal region of collagen XVIII and is implicated in the regulation of physiological and pathological angiogenesis. In this study, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis of poly(A+) RNA demonstrated the presence of mRNA for collagen XVIII in human endothelial cells (EC) and pericytes, the very constituents of microvessels wherein angiogenesis takes place. Enzyme immunoassay revealed that both cell types liberated endostatin into culture media and that the endostatin levels were decreased by hypoxia, the principal cause of angiogenesis. Northern and Western blot analyses revealed that while the collagen XVIII/endostatin mRNA levels were invariant between hypoxic and normoxic conditions, the collagen XVIII protein levels in EC and pericytes decreased by hypoxia. Further, exogenously administered intact endostatin was significantly decreased when it was incubated with hypoxic conditioned media of endothelial cells or pericytes, but not with normoxic media. The results suggest that the reduction of autocrine endostatin may take an active part in hypoxia-driven angiogenesis.

Abstract
Vascular complications arising from multiple environmental and genetic factors are responsible for many of the disabilities and short life expectancy associated with diabetes mellitus. Here we provide the first direct in vivo evidence that interactions between advanced glycation end products (AGEs; nonenzymatically glycosylated protein derivatives formed during prolonged hyperglycemic exposure) and their receptor, RAGE, lead to diabetic vascular derangement. We created transgenic mice that overexpress human RAGE in vascular cells and crossbred them with another transgenic line that develops insulin-dependent diabetes shortly after birth. The resultant double transgenic mice exhibited increased hemoglobin A(1c) and serum AGE levels, as did the diabetic controls. The double transgenic mice demonstrated enlargement of the kidney, glomerular hypertrophy, increased albuminuria, mesangial expansion, advanced glomerulosclerosis, and increased serum creatinine compared with diabetic littermates lacking the RAGE transgene. To our knowledge, the development of this double transgenic mouse provides the first animal model that exhibits the renal changes seen in humans. Furthermore, the phenotypes of advanced diabetic nephropathy were prevented by administering an AGE inhibitor, (+/-)-2-isopropylidenehydrazono-4-oxo-thiazolidin-5-ylacetanilide (OPB-9195), thus establishing the AGE-RAGE system as a promising target for overcoming this aspect of diabetic pathogenesis.

Abstract
Environmental electromagnetic fields have been implicated in human cancers. We examined whether high extremely low frequency (ELF) AC magnetic fields could affect DNA synthesis, transcription or repair, using in vitro model systems with defined sequences. The rate and fidelity of DNA polymerase catalyzed DNA synthesis, as well as of RNA polymerase catalyzed RNA synthesis, were not statistically significantly affected by 60 Hz 0.25-0.5 Tesla magnetic fields. The efficiency of mutS dependent mismatch repair with human cell extracts was also not affected by the magnetic field exposure. The results suggest that the core processes related to the transmission of genetic information are stable under high ELF magnetic fields.

Abstract
The binding of advanced glycation end products (AGE) to the receptor for AGE (RAGE) is known to deteriorate various cell functions and is implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular complications. Here we show that AGE, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) up-regulated RAGE mRNA and protein levels in human microvascular endothelial cells and ECV304 cells, with the mRNA stability being essentially invariant. Transient transfection experiments with human RAGE promoter-luciferase chimeras revealed that the region from nucleotide number -751 to -629 and the region from -239 to -89 in the RAGE 5'-flanking sequence exhibited the AGE/TNF-alpha and E(2) responsiveness, respectively. Site-directed mutation of an nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) site at -671 or of Sp-1 sites at -189 and -172 residing in those regions resulted in an abrogation of the AGE/TNF-alpha- or E(2)-mediated transcriptional activation. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed that ECV304 cell nuclear extracts contained factors which retarded the NF-kappaB and Sp-1 elements, and that the DNA-protein complexes were supershifted by anti-p65/p50 NF-kappaB and anti-Sp-1/estrogen receptor alpha antibodies, respectively. These results suggest that AGE, TNF-alpha, and E(2) can activate the RAGE gene through NF-kappaB and Sp-1, causing enhanced AGE-RAGE interactions, which would lead to an exacerbation of diabetic microvasculopathy.

Abstract
This study concerns whether advanced glycation endproducts (AGE) are related to microvascular derangement in diabetes, exemplified by pericyte loss and angiogenesis in retinopathy and by mesangial expansion in nephropathy. AGE caused a decrease in viable pericytes cultivated from bovine retina. On the other hand, AGE stimulated the growth and tube formation of human microvascular endothelial cells (EC), this being mediated by autocrine vascular endothelial growth factor. In AGE-exposed rat mesangial cells, type IV collagen synthesis was induced. Those AGE actions were dependent on a cell surface receptor for AGE (RAGE), because they were abolished by RAGE antisense or ribozyme. The AGE-RAGE system may thus participate in the development of diabetic microangiopathy. This proposition was supported by experiments with animal models; several indices characteristic of retinopathy were correlated with circulating AGE levels in OLETF rats. The predisposition to nephropathy was augmented in RAGE transgenic mice when they became diabetic.

Abstract
The present study provides direct evidence that syndecan 2 participates selectively in the induction of stress fiber formation in cooperation with integrin alpha5beta1 through specific binding of its heparan sulfate side chains to the fibronectin substrate. Our previous study with Lewis lung carcinoma-derived P29 cells demonstrated that the cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan, which binds to fibronectin, is syndecan 2 (N. Itano et al., 1996, Biochem. J. 315, 925-930). We here report that in vitro treatment of the cells by antisense oligonucleotide for syndecan 2 resulted in a failure to form stress fibers on fibronectin substrate in association with specific suppression of its cell surface expression. Instead, localization of actin filaments in the cytoplasmic cortex occurred. A similar response of the cells was observed when the cells were treated to eliminate functions of cell surface heparan sulfates, including exogenous addition of heparin and pretreatment with anti-heparan sulfate antibody, F58-10E4, and with proteinase-free heparitinase I. Size- and structure-defined oligosaccharides prepared from heparin and chemically modified heparins were utilized as competitive inhibitors to examine the structural characteristics of the cell surface heparan sulfates involved in organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Their affinity chromatography on a column linked with a recombinant H-271 peptide containing a C-terminal heparin-binding domain of fibronectin demonstrated that 2-O-sulfated iduronates were essential for the binding. Inhibition studies revealed that a heparin-derived dodecasaccharide sample enriched with an IdoA(2OS)-GlcNS(6OS) disaccharide completely blocked binding of the syndecan 2 ectodomain to immobilized H-271 peptide. Finally, the dodecasaccharide sample was shown to inhibit stress fiber formation, triggered by adhesion of P29 cells to a CH-271 polypeptide consisting of both the RGD cell-binding and the C-terminal heparin-binding domains of fibronectin in a fused form. All these results consistently suggest that syndecan 2 proteoglycan interacts with the C-terminal heparin-binding domain of fibronectin at the highly sulfated cluster(s), such as [IdoA(2OS)-GlcNS(6OS)](6) present in its heparan sulfate chains, to result in the induction of stress fiber formation in cooperation with integrin alpha5beta1.

Abstract
We have shown previously that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) synthesized by the cellular constituents of small vessels per se, viz. endothelial cells and pericytes, participates in the hypoxia-driven proliferation of both cell types (Nomura, M., Yamagishi, S., Harada, S., Hayashi, Y., Yamashima, T., Yamashita, J., Yamamoto, H. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 28316-28324; Yamagishi, S., Yonekura, H., Yamamoto, Y., Fujimori, H., Sakurai, S., Tanaka, N., and Yamamoto, H. (1999) Lab. Invest. 79, 501-509). In this study, we examined the expression of the recently isolated VEGF gene family members (placenta growth factor (PlGF), VEGF-B, and VEGF-C) in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells and bovine retinal pericytes cultured under various oxygen tensions. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses demonstrated that the two cell types possess not only VEGF (VEGF-A) mRNA, but also VEGF-B, VEGF-C, and PlGF mRNAs. Among them, only VEGF-A mRNA was induced under hypoxia. Competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction showed that, under normoxic conditions, the rank order of mRNA content in endothelial cells was PlGF > VEGF-B > VEGF-C > VEGF-A and that mRNA coding for PlGF was expressed at >100-fold higher levels than VEGF-A mRNA. In pericytes, the rank order was VEGF-C > VEGF-A > VEGF-B > PlGF, and approximately 7-fold higher levels of VEGF-C mRNA compared with VEGF-A mRNA were noted in this cell type. Furthermore, antisense inhibition of PlGF protein production lowered the endothelial cell synthesis of DNA under hypoxic conditions. The results suggest that these VEGF family members may also take active parts in angiogenesis.

Abstract
The relationship between mossy fiber projections and cytoarchitecture was studied in the cornu Ammonis (CA) of three mongrel dogs and two Japanese white rabbits. Precise comparisons were accomplished by examining adjoining sections that were stained by two methods: 1) the Timm-Danscher method which stains for zinc, which is contained in high concentrations in the mossy fiber terminals, and 2) thionin staining of the Nissl substance, so that the mossy fiber projections and cytoarchitecture could be closely compared in each subdivision of the CA. There was a cytoarchitectonically transitional zone (TZ) between CA3 and CA1 in both dogs and rabbits. The TZ was composed of an intermingling of CA3-like large pyramidal cells and CA1-like small pyramidal cells. Across the dorso-ventral length of the rabbit CA, the mossy fiber projections emitted from the dentate granular cell layer extended as far as the distal border of CA3 toward the TZ but did not enter the TZ or CA1. The TZ of the rabbit was equivalent to CA2 of Lorente de Nó (1934), that was characterized by CA3-like large pyramidal cells which did not receive mossy fiber inputs. In the dorsal CA of the dog, the mossy fiber projections extended across the CA3/TZ border, as far as the most distal part of the TZ in one dog but only for a short distance in the other two dogs. That part of the TZ which did not receive mossy fiber projections corresponded with CA2. There were no mossy fiber projections to CA1. In the ventral CA of the dog, however, mossy fiber projections were more extensive than in the dorsal CA, extending across CA3/TZ as well as TZ/CA1 borders to enter the proximal part of CA1. These observations indicate that there is a distinct CA2 in the rabbit CA, and that a rudimentary CA2 is present only in a small part of the dorsal CA of the dog, whereas it is absent in the ventral CA.

Abstract
NaOH digestion technique for collagen fiber dissection and scanning electron microscopy demonstrated a lattice-like meshwork in the anterior surface of the iris stroma of the cat. The mesh threads were made of collagen fibril bundles. In the constricted pupil, the meshes were square to rhomboid with the diagonals in the direction of the radius or circumference of the iris. In the dilated pupil, however, the meshes were strongly flattened rhomboid or ellipse with a longer diagnoal or axis in the circumferential direction. At the mesh corners facing the pupillary margin or the iris root, the collagen fibril bundles were strongly bent in the iris of the constricted pupil, while they were almost straight or slightly wavy in the iris of the dilated pupil. Accumulation of elasticity tension generated by this small distortion of the iris-mesh threads in the constricted pupil was considered to generate a tension directed towards the iris root, which is required for pupillary dilatation in the sympathectomized eye. On the posterior surface of the iris stroma, numerous thin pleats tightly woven with collagen fibrils traversed straightway through the radial length of the ciliary zone of the iris in both constricted and dilated pupils. The structural changes of these pleats in miosis and mydriasis were very small compared with the meshwork of the anterior aspect of the iris. Therefore, they were considered to work mainly as an iris skeleton.

Abstract
Presented here is an antisense-oriented method for functional gene screening, which we propose naming 'antisense display'. In principle, it consists of four steps: (i) preparation of phosphorothioate antisense repertoires that would correspond to the Kozak's consensus sequence, (ii) subgroup screening to identify active antisense molecules that could cause changes in the cellular phenotypes concerned and (iii) RT-PCR cloning of cDNA with the 5[prime] sense complement and 3[prime] anchor primers and sequence determination, followed by (iv) functional assays of candidate genes. Cell-free translation in rabbit reticulocyte lysate revealed that 10mer or longer antisense effectively halted protein synthesis. This required the presence of RNase H, and was achieved without prior heat-denaturation of the RNA templates. Then, subpools of the 10mer repertoire were administered to human microvascular endothelial cells in culture, and screened for anti-angiogenic activities. A single species having the sequence 5[prime]-GGCTCATGGT-3[prime] consistently inhibited the endothelial cell growth under hypoxia. Through RT-PCR with the corresponding sense primer, we came across three candidate cDNAs. Experiments employing longer unique antisense reproduced marked growth inhibitions in two of the three cDNAs. One encoded a mitochondrial protein and the other, which encoded a putative type-2 membrane protein containing Rab-GAP/TBC and EF-hand like domains, was a gene previously undescribed in human. The results suggest that the antisense display method is potentially useful for isolating new genes towards elucidating their functions.

Abstract
Vascular calcification in advanced atherosclerosis is frequently associated with diabetes, and is a predictor of future cardiovascular events. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of vascular calcification, we examined whether advanced glycation endproducts (AGE) formed at an accelerated rate under diabetes induce the osteoblastic differentiation of pericytes, a mesenchymal progenitor. First, von Kossa staining demonstrated that AGE significantly increased the number of calcified nodules in a bovine pericyte culture. AGE were also found to induce calcium accumulation in the pericyte monolayer in time- and dose-dependent manners. Second, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction revealed that AGE increased the pericyte levels of mRNAs coding for alkaline phosphatase and osteopontin, the representative markers for early and late osteoblastic differentiation, respectively. Alkaline phosphatase activity was actually enhanced by AGE. The results suggest that AGE have the ability to induce the osteoblatic differentiation of pericytes, which would contribute to the development of vascular calcification in diabetes.

Abstract
Insulin treatment is known epidemiologically as an independent risk factor for the progression of diabetic retinopathy. However, how insulin exacerbates the retinopathy is not yet fully understood. In this study, we investigate the effects of insulin on the growth and tube formation of microvascular endothelial cells (EC). When human skin microvascular EC were grown under various concentrations of insulin, DNA synthesis as well as tube formation of EC was found to be significantly stimulated. We obtained evidence that it is mainly vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) that mediates the angiogenic activity of insulin as follows. (1) Insulin upregulates the level of mRNA coding for secretory forms of VEGF, while the expression of the two VEGF receptor genes, kinase insert domain-containing receptor (kdr) and fms-like tyrosine kinase1 (flt1), was essentially unchanged by exposure to insulin. (2) A monoclonal antibody against human VEGF can completely neutralize both the proliferation and the tube formation of EC induced by insulin. The angiogenic effects of insulin were additive with those of hypoxia, a principal factor that causes angiogenesis. Further, insulin significantly stimulated plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 activity in EC. The results thus suggest that insulin not only elicits angiogenesis through the induction of autocrine VEGF but also is a predisposing factor for thrombogenesis, which may give rise to focal ischemia that could superdrive angiogenesis, thereby leading to the exacerbation of diabetic retinopathy.
