Abstract
Background and Objectives: N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a mucolytic agent used to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia in intensive care units. This study aimed to evaluate the oral bioavailability of NAC in critically ill patients with pneumonia, isolated acute brain injury and abdominal sepsis. Materials and Methods: This quantitative and descriptive study compared NAC's pharmacokinetics after intravenous and enteral administration. 600 mg of NAC was administered in both ways, and the blood levels for NAC were measured. Results: 18 patients with pneumonia, 19 patients with brain injury and 17 patients with abdominal sepsis were included in the population pharmacokinetic modelling. A three-compartmental model without lag-time provided the best fit to the data. Oral bioavailability was estimated as 11.6% (95% confidence interval 6.3-16.9%), similar to bioavailability in healthy volunteers and patients with chronic pulmonary diseases. Conclusions: The bioavailability of enteral NAC of ICU patients with different diseases is similar to the published data on healthy volunteers.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess whether the combination of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH, intra-abdominal pressure ≥ 12 mmHg) and hypoxic respiratory failure (HRF, PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 300 mmHg) in patients receiving invasive ventilation is an independent risk factor for 90- and 28-day mortality as well as ICU- and ventilation-free days. METHODS Mechanically ventilated patients who had blood gas analyses performed and intra-abdominal pressure measured, were included from a prospective cohort. Subgroups were defined by the absence (Group 1) or the presence of either IAH (Group 2) or HRF (Group 3) or both (Group 4). Mixed-effects regression analysis was performed. RESULTS Ninety-day mortality increased from 16% (Group 1, n = 50) to 30% (Group 2, n = 20) and 27% (Group 3, n = 100) to 49% (Group 4, n = 142), log-rank test p < 0.001. The combination of IAH and HRF was associated with increased 90- and 28-day mortality as well as with fewer ICU- and ventilation-free days. The association with 90-day mortality was no longer present after adjustment for independent variables. However, the association with 28-day mortality, ICU- and ventilation-free days persisted after adjusting for independent variables. CONCLUSIONS In our sub-analysis, the combination of IAH and HRF was not independently associated with 90-day mortality but independently increased the odds of 28-day mortality, and reduced the number of ICU- and ventilation-free days.

Abstract
Excessive time for analysis may impede microcirculatory studies with large amounts of video data. Engaging more personnel in the analyses seems to be a rational approach in that scenario and could shorten the time-interval between capturing images and obtaining results. Our hypothesis was that novice users would be able to determine standard microcirculatory parameters using a semi-automated software with an acceptable degree of variability after participating in a standardized interactive training session. 14 volunteers were included in the study. All volunteers analyzed separately the same sample video after the training. The kappa statistic was calculated for the primary outcome parameter microvascular flow index (MFI) within small and large vessels and indicated a fair level of agreement in the results of the novice users. A standardized interactive tutorial can be useful to teach microcirculatory analysis in previously untrained subjects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In clinical setting, Sidestream Dark Field (SDF) imaging has provided unprecedented insights into the gut microcirculation mainly by studying the intestinal mucosa of patients with ileostomies. Visualizing microvascular structure and function of ileal mucosa at the bedside brings unique opportunity for clinical research, particularly in critically ill patients. Several papers that were focused on intestinal microcirculation, used different methods of assessment because an accepted scoring systems does not exist so far and it is no surprise that it is rather difficult to compare the results from these studies. The present paper presents recommendations concerning specific aspects of image acquisition and proposes some parameters for the description of the intestinal microcirculation in human studies, as suggested by the participants of a round table meeting. METHODS The round table meeting participants reviewed all relevant literature, discussed various aspects of image acquisition by SDF technology in patients with ileostomy and parameters for the description of intestinal mucosa microcirculation. Selected key conditions for high quality and reproducible image recordings were identified. To evaluate quality of intestinal microcirculation, selected parameters and scoring system were suggested and described. RESULTS For image acquisition in ileostomies, five key points were proposed: optimal timing, optimal SDF device probe positioning, optimal stabilization, optimal number and length of acquired video recordings, and optimal avoidance of pressure artefacts. With regard to image analysis, simplified set of quantitative and qualitative parameters for the description of the intestinal mucosa microcirculation for the clinical studies has been proposed: vessels per villus, microvascular flow index, proportion of perfused villi, and borders of villi. The proposed parameters can be included in a semi-quantitative scoring system; however, this scoring system needs further validation. This simplified analysis does not require sophisticated software and can be performed manually on the video screen. CONCLUSION We propose a simple methodology for image acquisition and suggest specific microvascular parameters to analyze SDF imaging studies of the intestinal mucosa microcirculation in patients with ileostomy. Proposed scoring system needs to be validated in further clinical studies.

Abstract
This review summarizes the epidemiology, pathophysiological consequences and impact on outcome of mild to moderate (Grade I to II) intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), points out possible pitfalls in available treatment recommendations and focuses on tasks for future research in the field. IAH occurs in about 40% of ICU patients. Whereas the prevalence of abdominal compartment syndrome seems to be decreasing, the prevalence of IAH does not. More than half of IAH patients present with IAH grade I and approximately a quarter with IAH grade II. However, most of the studies have addressed IAH as a yes-or-no variable, with little or no attention to different severity grades. Even mild IAH can have a negative impact on tissue perfusion and microcirculation and be associated with an increased length of stay and duration of mechanical ventilation. However, the impact of IAH and its different grades on mortality is controversial. The influence of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) on outcome most likely depends on patient and disease characteristics and the concomitant macro- and microcirculation. Therefore, management might differ significantly. Today, clear triggers for interventions in different patient groups with mild to moderate IAH are not defined. Further studies are needed to clarify the clinical importance of mild to moderate IAH identifying clear triggers for interventions to lower the IAP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microvascular alterations and intra-abdominal hypertension are both involved in development of organ failure. It is not known whether increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is associated with microcirculatory perfusion derangements. HYPOTHESIS Transient increase in IAP induced by pneumoperitoneum affects sublingual microcirculation. METHODS 16 laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients were studied. Sidestream dark field (SDF) imaging was used to evaluate sublingual microcirculation. Microcirculatory videos were done before surgery, at least 15 minutes after initiation of pneumoperitoneum and 1 hour after the pneumoperitoneum. Microcirculation cut-off value for vessels was 20 μm. RESULTS IAP was held at 12.6 (from 12 to 14) mmHg, mean (SD) duration of pneumoperitoneum was 41 (14) minutes. At the baseline, mean total vascular density was 18.8 (2.6) and perfused vessel density 13.2 (2.9) per mm². Proportion of perfused vessels was 59 (11) % and microvascular flow index 2.2 (0.4). Median (IQR) heterogeneity index was 0.6 (0.4-0.9) and mean De Backer score 13.6 (1.5). Increase in IAP did not cause significant changes in sublingual microcirculatory parameters. CONCLUSIONS Transiently increased IAP due to pneumoperitoneum does not affect sublingual microcirculatory blood flow and vessel density in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. However, the low proportion of perfused vessels indicates the prevalence of perioperative microcirculatory deficiency in these patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study is to clarify whether increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is associated with sublingual microcirculatory alterations in intensive care patients. METHODS Fifteen adult, mechanically ventilated patients were included if their IAP was at least 12 mm Hg for at least 12 hours within the first 3 days after admission to the intensive care unit. Sublingual sidestream dark field (SDF) images were recorded twice a day for 7 days. RESULTS Median (interquartile range) IAP at inclusion was 14.5 (12.5-16.0) mm Hg. The total vascular density of small vessels at the sublingual area was 13.1 (10.6-14.3) per square millimeter at baseline; the proportion of perfused vessels, 78.9% (69.6%-86.2%); and perfused vessels density, 12.4 (10.8-13.8) per square millimeter. The calculated indices suggested relatively good blood flow in the capillaries, with a De Backer score of 9.0 (8.3-10.2) and a microvascular blood flow of 3.0 (2.9-3.0). Blood flow heterogeneity index was 0.3 (0.1-0.5) at study entry. Despite that IAP, vasopressors dose, and arterial lactate decreased significantly over time, no significant changes were observed in sublingual microvascular density or blood flow. Weak correlations of microvascular blood flow (positive) and heterogeneity index (negative) were detected with both mean arterial pressure and abdominal perfusion pressure. CONCLUSIONS Neither grade I or II intra-abdominal hypertension (IAP from 12 to 18 mm Hg) is associated with significant changes of sublingual microcirculation in intensive care patients. Correlation analysis indicates better microvascular blood flow at higher mean arterial pressure and abdominal perfusion pressure levels.

Abstract
Background The development of intra-abdominal hypertension [IAH] in critically ill patients admitted to the ICU is an independent predictor of mortality. In an attempt to find an early, clinically relevant metabolic signal of modest IAH, we investigated abdominal wall metabolite concentrations in a small group of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. We hypothesized that elevated intra-abdominal pressure [IAP] due to pneumoperitoneum leads to an increased lactate/pyruvate [L/P] ratio in the rectus abdominis muscle [RAM], indicating anaerobic metabolism. Method Six patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic gastric fundoplication were studied. Two hours before surgery, a microdialysis catheter (CMA 60, CMA Small Systems AB, Solna, Sweden) was inserted into the RAM under local anaesthesia. Catheter placement was confirmed by ultrasound. The microdialysis perfusion rate was set at 0.3 μL/min. Dialysate was collected hourly prior to pneumoperitoneum, during pneumoperitoneum, and for 2 h after pneumoperitoneum resolution. IAP was maintained at 12 to 13 mmHg during the surgery. The glucose, glycerol, pyruvate and lactate contents of the dialysate were measured. Results The median (interquartile range) L/P ratio was 10.3 (7.1 to 15.5) mmol/L at baseline. One hour of pneumoperitoneum increased the L/P ratio to 16.0 (13.6 to 35.3) mmol/L (p = 0.03). The median pneumoperitoneum duration was 86 (77 to 111) min. The L/P ratio at 2 h post-pneumoperitoneum was not different from that at baseline (p = 1.0). No changes in glycerol or glucose levels were observed. Conclusions IAH of 12 to 13 mmHg, even for a relatively short duration, is associated with metabolic changes in the abdominal wall muscle tissue of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. We suggest that tissue hypoperfusion occurs even during a modest increase in IAP, and intramuscular metabolic monitoring could therefore serve as an early warning sign of deteriorating tissue perfusion.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding proteins (IGFBPs) have been shown to either inhibit or enhance the action of IGF, or act in an IGF-independent manner in the prostate. We have overexpressed the IGF-inhibitory IGFBP-4 in the malignant M12 prostate epithelial cell line to determine the effects on tumor formation and apoptosis. Overexpression was determined by Northern, Western immunoblot and Western radioligand blot analysis. IGF-induced proliferation was reduced in the IGFBP-4 transfected cells compared with control cells (P < or = 0.01). Colony formation in soft agar was significantly inhibited up to 14 days after plating in the IGFBP-4 transfected cells when compared with the M12 controls (P < or = 0.01): however, in the presence of des(1-3)IGF-I, there was no significant difference between the control and IGFBP-4 transfectants in colony formation in soft agar. Apoptosis in an IGFBP-4 transfected cell line was significantly increased in response to induction by 6-hydroxyurea compared with the control line. When injected s.c. into male athymic/nude mice, a marked delay was noted in tumor formation in animals receiving IGFBP-4 transfected cells (P < or = 0.01). Interestingly, IGFBP-2 protein levels were reduced in the conditioned media of all IGFBP-4 transfected cell cultures. These data indicate that an inhibitory IGFBP may significantly delay the growth of malignant prostate epithelial cells and enhance the sensitivity of these cells to apoptosis.

Abstract
The authors have previously shown that the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) is decreased in the transformation from benign to malignant human prostate epithelial cells in vivo. Further, in a well-described human SV40-T immortalized human epithelial cell system beginning with the immortalized, but rarely tumorigenic P69SV40-T cell line, to the highly tumorigenic and metastatic M12 subline, there is a similar decrease in IGF-1R number from 2.0 x 10(4) receptors per cell to 1.1 x 10(3) receptors per cell. When the IGF-1R was reexpressed in the M12 subline using a retroviral expression vector, M12-LISN, to a receptor number similar to that of the P69SV40-T parental cell line, the authors demonstrated a marked decrease in colony formation in soft agar in the M12-LISN cells vs the M12 control cells (p < or = 0.01), and a decrease in vivo tumor growth and metastases when injected either subcutaneously or an intraprostatic location (p < or = 0.01). This decrease in tumor volume was not because of a decrease in proliferative capacity, but was associated with an increase in apoptosis in baseline cultures and in response to the apoptotic-inducing agents 6-hydroxyurea, retinoic acid, and transforming growth factor beta 1.

Abstract
Type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) expression is decreased in prostate cancer compared to that in noncancerous prostate epithelium. We have demonstrated that as the simian virus 40 T antigen (SV40T) immortalized human prostate epithelial cell line, P69SV40T, undergoes transformation from a poorly tumorigenic to a malignant phenotype, the M12 subline, there is a significant decrease in IGF-1R expression. In the present study, we examine the effects of reexpression of the IGF-1R on the malignant phenotype of M12 cells. The IGF-1R was reexpressed in M12 cells using a retroviral vector containing a 7-kilobase coding sequence for the IGF-1R, LISN, to create several clones of the M12-LISN cell line. As a control, M12 cells were also infected with a retroviral vector (LNL6) without the 7-kilobase IGF-1R insert (M12-LNL6 clones). Functional assays were performed with two separate clones each of M12-LNL6 and M12-LISN cells. Each clone of M12-LISN cells regained the proliferative response to IGF that was lost in the transition from P69SV40T cells to M12 cells. In addition, M12-LISN clones had a significantly decreased growth rate compared to the M12-LNL6 cells when injected s.c. in athymic/nude mice (P < 0.001). Tumorigenicity, as assessed by anchorage-independent growth of colonies in soft agar, was also decreased by 75% in the M12-LISN clones compared to that in the M12-LNL6 control cells. These data demonstrate that reexpression of the IGF-1R in a malignant human prostate epithelial cell line results in decreased tumor growth and decreased anchorage-independent colony formation independent of an increased proliferative response to IGF. Reexpression of the IGF-1R may be associated with reacquisition of the regulation of cellular proliferative and differentiation functions mediated by the IGF-1R that are lost as prostate epithelial cells undergo conversion to a malignant phenotype.
