Abstract
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a cost-effective procedure, but it is also associated with substantial postoperative pain. The present study aimed to compare pain relief and functional recovery after TKA among groups that received intravenous corticosteroids, periarticular corticosteroids, or a combination of both. METHODS This randomized, double-blinded clinical trial in a local institution in Hong Kong recruited 178 patients who underwent primary unilateral TKA. Six of these patients were excluded because of changes in surgical technique; 4, because of their hepatitis B status; 2, because of a history of peptic ulcer; and 2, because they declined to participate in the study. Patients were randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive placebo (P), intravenous corticosteroids (IVS), periarticular corticosteroids (PAS), or a combination of intravenous and periarticular corticosteroids (IVSPAS). RESULTS The pain scores at rest were significantly lower in the IVSPAS group than in the P group over the first 48 hours (p = 0.034) and 72 hours (p = 0.043) postoperatively. The pain scores during movement were also significantly lower in the IVS and IVSPAS groups than in the P group over the first 24, 48, and 72 hours (p ≤ 0.023 for all). The flexion range of the operatively treated knee was significantly better in the IVSPAS group than in the P group on postoperative day 3 (p = 0.027). Quadriceps power was also greater in the IVSPAS group than in the P group on postoperative days 2 (p = 0.005) and 3 (p = 0.007). Patients in the IVSPAS group were able to walk significantly further than patients in the P group in the first 3 postoperative days (p ≤ 0.003). Patients in the IVSPAS group also had a higher score on the Elderly Mobility Scale than those in the P group (p = 0.036). CONCLUSIONS IVS and IVSPAS yielded similar pain relief, but IVSPAS yielded a larger number of rehabilitation parameters that were significantly better than those in the P group. This study provides new insights into pain management and postoperative rehabilitation following TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level I.

Abstract
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. The SCA-to-resuscitation interval is a key determinant of patient outcomes, highlighting the clinical need for reliable and timely detection of SCA. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a non-invasive optical technique, may have utility for this application. We investigated transcutaneous NIRS as a method to detect pentobarbital-induced changes during cardiac arrest in eight Yucatan miniature pigs. NIRS measurements during cardiac arrest were compared to invasively acquired carotid blood pressure and partial oxygen pressure (PO2) of spinal cord tissues. We observed statistically significant decreases in mean arterial pressure (MAP) 64.68 mmHg ± 13.08, p < 0.0001), spinal cord PO2 (38.16 mmHg ± 20.04, p = 0.0028), and NIRS-derived tissue oxygen saturation (TSI%) (14.50% ± 3.80, p < 0.0001) from baseline to 5 min after pentobarbital administration. Euthanasia-to-first change in hemodynamics for MAP and TSI (%) were similar [MAP (10.43 ± 4.73 s) vs TSI (%) (12.04 ± 1.85 s), p = 0.3714]. No significant difference was detected between NIRS and blood pressure-derived pulse rates during baseline periods (p > 0.99) and following pentobarbital administration (p = 0.97). Transcutaneous NIRS demonstrated the potential to identify rapid hemodynamic changes due to cardiac arrest in periods similar to invasive indices. We conclude that transcutaneous NIRS monitoring may present a novel, non-invasive approach for SCA detection, which warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Background We sought to understand how the demographics of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) have changed over time in Canada. Purpose Using a large multi-centre Canadian cohort of patients with AIH, we describe the trends in patient and disease characteristics at presentation across 30 years of clinical practice. Method Patients from the Canadian Network for Autoimmune Liver Disease with a confirmed diagnosis of AIH (simplified score ≥6) were included for analysis. Patients were grouped into five cohorts according to the year of diagnosis (i.e., <2000, 2000-2004, 2005-2009, 2010-2014, ≥2015). Patient demographics and baseline clinical and biochemistry features of disease activity were investigated using Chi-square tests and Kruskal-Wallis tests adjusted for multiple comparisons. Logistic and linear regression models with estimated means were utilized to further investigate relationships with time and to adjust for confounding. Result(s) 1016 patients followed across 10 Canadian health centres with AIH were diagnosed between November 1965 and December 2021. Overall, 76.4% (n=776) of patients were female, and the median age at diagnosis was 46 years (IQR 28.2 - 58.3). Cirrhosis at presentation was seen in 20.6% of patients (n=209). The median age at diagnosis increased significantly from 31.8 years [IQR 17.9 - 46.8] pre-2000 to 54 years [IQR 9.0 - 95.2] after 2014 (p<0.001; Figure 1a). This effect of time persisted after adjusting for sex and cirrhosis status at diagnosis. Female sex and the presence of cirrhosis at diagnosis were factors independently associated with older age at presentation (p<0.0001). The proportion of patients that presented with cirrhosis at diagnosis increased significantly over calendar time, from 13.7% (n=23) pre-2000 to 30.8% (n=69) after 2014 (p=0.003; Figure 1b). Male sex was independently associated with an increased odds of having cirrhosis at presentation (OR= 1.46, CI 1.02 - 2.07) and higher baseline ALT levels compared to females (p=0.036). The proportion of patients that identified as non-white ethnicity increased significantly from 15.2% (n= 24) pre-2000, to 32% (n= 86) after 2014 (p<0.001, Figure 1b). This effect of time on ethnicity was most pronounced after the year 2010 (OR= 2.32, CI 1.39 - 3.98) and persisted after adjusting for sex. There was no significant pattern of change in sex over calendar time. Image ![]()
Conclusion(s) In Canada, patients with AIH at presentation are now older, have more advanced disease, and are more ethnically diverse than when compared to 30 years ago.

Abstract
A 62-year-old received orthotopic liver transplantation. Three weeks later, thrombotic microangiopathy developed. Testing revealed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) characterized by low ADAMTS13 (A Disintegrin-like Metallopeptidase with ThromboSpondin type 1 motif 13) activity and no inhibitor of ADAMTS13 protein. Retrospective attainment of donor records revealed a TTP diagnosis, presumably hereditary TTP (hTTP), as an ADAMTS13 protein inhibitor was not mentioned. As the grafted liver does not produce ADAMTS13 protein, the recipient now functionally has hTTP and will likely need plasma transfusions indefinitely. While hTTP is extremely rare, it should be considered a contraindication to liver donation outside of exceptional circumstances. If a potential liver donor has TTP listed on medical history, attempts should be made to determine whether it is autoimmune or hereditary. An accurate medical history is critical as it is the only reliable way to identify hTTP, as outside of acute exacerbations of TTP, donors with hTTP can have normal laboratory values, including normal hemoglobin, platelets, and renal function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignancy-related ascites accounts for approximately 10% of causes of ascites. Our AIM was to characterize the ascites fluid and correlate clinical outcomes in those with extrahepatic malignancy and ascites. METHODS 241 subjects with extrahepatic solid tumors and ascites were reviewed from 1/1/2000 to 12/31/2019, 119 without liver metastasis and 122 with liver metastasis. RESULTS Ascites fluid consistent with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) was most common, 150/241 (62%), followed by fluid reflecting the presence of portal hypertension (PH), 69/241 (29%). 22/241 (9%) had low SAAG and low ascites fluid total protein, with evidence of PC on cytology and or imaging in 20/22. Lung cancer was the most common malignancy in subjects with ascites due to PC at 36/150 (24%), pancreatic cancer was the most common in subjects with ascites with features of PH at 16/69 (23%). Chemotherapy or immunotherapy alone was the most common management approach. Significantly higher 5-year, 3-year and 1-year mortality rate were noted in subjects with evidence of PC on cytology/imaging versus subjects with no evidence of PC, and in subjects with liver metastasis compared to subjects without liver metastasis. Subjects with pancreatic cancer and evidence of PC on cytology/imaging had higher 1 and 5-year mortality rates compared to subjects without PC. CONCLUSIONS Ascites in solid tumor malignancy is most commonly due to PC. We also observed ascites fluid with characteristics of PH in 29% of subjects. Higher mortality rates in subjects with peritoneal carcinomatosis and liver metastasis were noted. These findings may help inform prognosis and treatment strategies.

Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the leading risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to explore the incidence of HCC in a cohort of subjects with HBV and correlate with HBV treatment current guidance. We identified 2846 subjects with HBV over the study period. HCC was diagnosed in 386 of 2846 (14%) subjects; 209 of 386 (54%) were on nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) therapy at time of HCC diagnosis, and 177 of 386 (46%) were not on NA therapy. Of the 177 subjects not on NAs who developed HCC during follow-up, 153 of 177 (86%) had cirrhosis. Within the 177 subjects not on NAs, 158 of 177 (89%) had undetectable HBV DNA, 10 of 177 (6%) had detectable HBV DNA < 2000 IU/L, and 9 of 177 (5%) had HBV DNA > 2000 IU/L. Of those with cirrhosis and undetectable HBV DNA, 115 of 141 had compensated cirrhosis, and 26 of 141 had decompensated cirrhosis. Significant predictors of HCC on time to event analysis included cirrhosis (hazard ratio [HR] 10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.8-17.5; p < 0.001), alanine aminotransferase level (HR 1.004, 95% CI 1.002-1.006; p < 0.001), age (HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.03-1.06; p < 0.001), (HR 1.9, 95% CI 1.2-3.1; p 0.007), and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.8; p 0.02). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated the cumulative incidence of HCC in subjects with compensated cirrhosis receiving NA therapy was significantly lower compared to subjects with compensated cirrhosis outside current HBV treatment practice guidance (undetectable HBV DNA) (32% vs. 51%; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Those with untreated compensated cirrhosis with undetectable HBV DNA who do not meet current guidance for treatment had higher rates of HCC than those with compensated cirrhosis and suppressed HBV DNA by NA therapy. This study highlights the need for earlier diagnosis and treatment of HBV.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Pulse oximetry is widely used in clinical practice to monitor changes in arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2). However, decreases in SpO2 can be delayed relative to the actual clinical event, and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) may detect alterations in oxygenation earlier than pulse oximetry, as shown in previous cerebral oxygenation monitoring studies. AIM We aim to compare the response of transcutaneous muscle NIRS measures of the tissue saturation index with pulse oximetry SpO2 during hypoxia. APPROACH Episodes of acute hypoxia were induced in nine anesthetized Yucatan miniature pigs. A standard pulse oximeter was attached to the ear of the animal, and a transcutaneous NIRS sensor was placed on the hind limb muscle. Hypoxia was induced by detaching the ventilator from the animal and reattaching it once the pulse oximeter reported 70% SpO2. RESULTS Twenty-four episodes of acute hypoxia were analyzed. Upon the start of hypoxia, the transcutaneous NIRS measures changed in 5.3 ± 0.4 s, whereas the pulse oximetry measures changed in 14.9 ± 1.0 s (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Transcutaneous muscle NIRS can detect the effects of hypoxia significantly sooner than pulse oximetry in the Yucatan miniature pig. A transcutaneous NIRS sensor may be used as an earlier detector of oxygen saturation changes in the clinical setting than the standard pulse oximeter.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stratifying risk of postoperative pulmonary complications after major abdominal surgery allows clinicians to modify risk through targeted interventions and enhanced monitoring. In this study, we aimed to identify and validate prognostic models against a new consensus definition of postoperative pulmonary complications. METHODS We did a systematic review and international external validation cohort study. The systematic review was done in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We searched MEDLINE and Embase on March 1, 2020, for articles published in English that reported on risk prediction models for postoperative pulmonary complications following abdominal surgery. External validation of existing models was done within a prospective international cohort study of adult patients (≥18 years) undergoing major abdominal surgery. Data were collected between Jan 1, 2019, and April 30, 2019, in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. Discriminative ability and prognostic accuracy summary statistics were compared between models for the 30-day postoperative pulmonary complication rate as defined by the Standardised Endpoints in Perioperative Medicine Core Outcome Measures in Perioperative and Anaesthetic Care (StEP-COMPAC). Model performance was compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCC). FINDINGS In total, we identified 2903 records from our literature search; of which, 2514 (86·6%) unique records were screened, 121 (4·8%) of 2514 full texts were assessed for eligibility, and 29 unique prognostic models were identified. Nine (31·0%) of 29 models had score development reported only, 19 (65·5%) had undergone internal validation, and only four (13·8%) had been externally validated. Data to validate six eligible models were collected in the international external validation cohort study. Data from 11 591 patients were available, with an overall postoperative pulmonary complication rate of 7·8% (n=903). None of the six models showed good discrimination (defined as AUROCC ≥0·70) for identifying postoperative pulmonary complications, with the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia score showing the best discrimination (AUROCC 0·700 [95% CI 0·683-0·717]). INTERPRETATION In the pre-COVID-19 pandemic data, variability in the risk of pulmonary complications (StEP-COMPAC definition) following major abdominal surgery was poorly described by existing prognostication tools. To improve surgical safety during the COVID-19 pandemic recovery and beyond, novel risk stratification tools are required. FUNDING British Journal of Surgery Society.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and chronic kidney disease are both chronic conditions with rapidly increasing prevalence and incidence worldwide that have led to a significant burden on health-care systems. The association between these two disease entities is partly attributed to shared cardiometabolic comorbidities including diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. However, independent of these overlapping risks, there are increased rates and more severe CKD in NAFLD patients. Conversely, more progressive NAFLD is seen with advanced stages of kidney injury. In addition to overlapping risk factors, shared pathogenic mechanisms suggest these two disease entities may resemble different manifestations of a single underlying disease process.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an efficacious operation that improves pain and function in patients with knee arthritis. Because of the population ageing trend in Hong Kong, there is a need to determine the safety profile of TKA in older patients. This study examined the age of patients who underwent TKA in the past 10 years in Hong Kong; the aim was to investigate the mortality safety profile and clinical outcomes of TKA in patients aged ≥80 years. METHODS This study included all patients who underwent primary TKA in the Hospital Authority (HA) from 2010 to 2019. Incidences of 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year mortality were established. Clinical outcomes of patients aged ≥80 years in one cluster of HA hospitals were assessed. RESULTS Between 2010 and 2019, 25 040 TKA procedures were conducted in all HA hospitals; 2491 were conducted in patients aged ≥80 years. The median age at operation was higher during 2015-2019 than during 2010-2014 (70 vs 69 years; P<0.001); furthermore, an increase was observed in the proportion of patients aged ≥80 years at the time of operation. Incidences of 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year mortality were 0.156%, 0.35%, and 1.09%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this first study to examine the safety profile of TKA in older patients in Hong Kong, the mean age at the time of TKA and proportion of patients aged ≥80 years have steadily risen in the past decade. Even in older patients, TKA is a reasonably safe procedure.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve (TMVIV) appears a reasonable alternative to surgical redo mitral valve replacement in patients with degenerated mitral prosthesis and high surgical risk with favorable early and mid-terms outcomes. Long-term outcomes are limited by high mortality in a comorbid population.
Purpose
We aimed to evaluate early prosthesis hemodynamic performance and late clinical outcomes following TMVIV.
Methods
All patients who underwent TMVIV for degenerated surgical mitral bioprostheses from 2011 to 2020 in our center were included. Prospectively collected demographic, clinical, procedural, and imaging variables were analyzed. Clinical and echocardiographic outcomes were defined according to Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium (MVARC) definitions and assessed at 30-day and at the latest follow-up available.
Results
A total of 67 patients were included; mean age 76.9±9.6 years, mean STS score 11.0±6.2%, 53.7% male (n=36). Mechanisms of bioprosthetic failure were mitral stenosis (n=32, 47.8%), mitral regurgitation (n=24, 35.8%), and mixed (n=11, 16.4%). Mean time from mitral valve surgery to TMVIV was 10.2±4.3 years. Access was mostly transapical (n=45; 67.2%), followed by transseptal (n=22; 32.8%). Following the first transseptal procedure in 2016; transseptal access accounted for the majority of procedures (22 of 37 cases, 59.4%).
Technical success was achieved in 65 patients (97.0%). Mean hospitalization was 9.2±10.0 days; shorter with the transseptal as opposed to the transapical approach (6.3±8.1 days versus 11.0±10.5 days, p=0.001). At 30-day echographic follow-up, mean mitral valve gradient was 7.3±2.7 and 1 patient (1.9%) had mitral regurgitation >mild.
At 30-day follow-up, 3 patients had died (4.5%); due to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (1), heart failure (1), and stroke (1). New pacemakers were required in 2 patients (3.0%) and pacemaker lead dislodgement occurred in 1 patient (1.5%), 4 patients (6.2%) were hospitalized for heart failure. At a median follow-up of 3.8 years [1.7–5.1], 29 patients had died (43.3%), valve thrombosis was found in 6 (8.9%) and endocarditis in 4 patients (6.2%). Mitral valve reintervention was performed in 4 patients (6.2%); redo TMVIV due to valve migration in 1 (1.9%), surgical valve replacement in 1 (1.9%), and delayed redilation with a non-compliant balloon due to underexpansion in 2 patients (3.8%).
Conclusion
TMVIV is associated with acceptable 30-day mitral valve hemodynamics. Long-term mortality remains high in this high-surgical risk comorbid group.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
Pulmonary embolectomy involves the surgical removal of a thrombus from the pulmonary tree, with the most popular approaches being surgical embolectomy (SE), percutaneous pulmonary embolectomy (PPE) and minimally invasive thoracotomy (MIT). The latter two new techniques are gradually increasing in popularity in the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) due to reduced recovery times. This study aims to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of the three aforementioned techniques in the treatment of acute PE.
Method
A literature review was performed with PUBMED to identify studies reporting these interventions. 79 papers were included, involving a total of 2445 patients. Patients’ baseline characteristics and perioperative status, inpatient mortality rates and complication rates of each intervention group were individually assessed and compared.
Results
Among all three interventions, SE studies demonstrated the highest in-patient mortality rate (20.8%). Patients receiving SE are also more likely to have pulmonary (2.8%) and other postoperative bleeding (7.4%). PPE patients are more likely to develop gastrointestinal bleeding and surgical site complications (4%). Scatter graph of the SE studies showed a declining trend of mortality rate over time (R²=0.50).
Conclusions
All three methods are effective in treating acute PE, while SE showed a trend of decreasing mortality over time. Further research on PPE and MIT is needed to define its place in the treatment of acute PE.

Abstract
Background Bacterial translocation plays a pivotal role in the natural course of cirrhosis and its complications. Serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin (SBI) is an oral medical food that has been shown to both reduce inflammation in the intestines and neutralize bacteria. It represents a unique intervention that has not been studied in this population. Methodology We conducted a prospective open-label trial with an eight-week treatment phase of SBI. Individuals were assessed using lactulose breath testing, serum markers for enterocyte damage and bacterial translocation, and the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ) prior to and after completion of the treatment phase. Results We evaluated nine patients with a diagnosis of decompensated cirrhosis with ascites. Subjects had a mean Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score of 11.6 ± 3.0 and were not taking lactulose or antibiotics. All subjects tolerated SBI well with no significant adverse events or changes to any of the six domains of the CLDQ. Laboratory tests including liver tests and MELD score remained stable over the course of treatment. There were no significant changes in the rates of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (55.6% vs 55.6%, p = 1.00) or serum levels of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, intestinal fatty acid-binding protein, or soluble CD14 (p-values 0.883, 0.765, and 0.748, respectively) when comparing values prior to and immediately after treatment. Conclusions No adverse events or significant changes to the quality of life were detected while on treatment. There were no statistically significant differences in our outcomes when comparing individuals before and after treatment in this small prospective proof-of-concept pilot study. Further prospective randomized studies could be beneficial.

Abstract
Latent class analysis (LCA) has allowed epidemiologists to overcome the practical constraints faced by traditional diagnostic test evaluation methods, which require both a gold standard diagnostic test and ample numbers of appropriate reference samples. Over the past four decades, LCA methods have expanded to allow epidemiologists to evaluate diagnostic tests and estimate true prevalence using imperfect tests over a variety of complex data structures and scenarios, including during the emergence of novel infectious diseases. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of recent developments in LCA methods, as well as a practical guide to applying Bayesian LCA (BLCA) to the evaluation of diagnostic tests. Before conducting a BLCA, the suitability of BLCA for the pathogen of interest, the availability of appropriate samples, the number of diagnostic tests, and the structure of the data should be carefully considered. While formulating the model, the model's structure and specification of informative priors will affect the likelihood that useful inferences can be drawn. With the growing need for advanced analytical methods to evaluate diagnostic tests for newly emerging diseases, LCA is a promising field of research for both the veterinary and medical disciplines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The association between physical activity (PA) and all-cause and cause-specific mortality from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) requires investigation. We studied whether PA, measured by accelerometer, is associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among individuals with NAFLD. METHODS We performed a longitudinal analysis using the 2003 to 2006 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data of adults (age, ≥20 y) and collecting mortality data through December 2015. NAFLD was defined based on the hepatic steatosis index or US fatty liver index scores, in the absence of other causes of chronic liver disease. PA was measured from participants who wore accelerometers 10 h/d for a minimum of 4 days over a 7-day period and were classified as total PA, moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA), and sedentary behavior. RESULTS Over an average follow-up period of 10.6 years, increasing the duration of total PA was associated with a reduced risk of death, from any cause, in an age- and sex-adjusted model (hazard ratio [HR], 0.52; 95% CI, 0.32-0.86 for highest quartile vs lowest quartile; P for trend = .001) and multivariable model (HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.28-0.75; P for trend < .001) among individuals with NAFLD. Increasing the duration of MVPA was associated with a lower risk of death from any cause in individuals with NAFLD. Furthermore, longer total PA was associated with a lower risk for cardiovascular disease-related death in individuals with NAFLD (HR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.08-0.98 for highest quartile vs lowest quartile; P for trend = .007). We did not find this association for cancer-related mortality in individuals with NAFLD. Increasing the duration of sedentary behavior did not affect all-cause or cause-specific mortality in individuals with NAFLD. CONCLUSIONS Longer total PA and MVPA, measured by accelerometers over a 7-day period, are associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with NAFLD.

Abstract
Background:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multi-organ autoimmune disease that is potentially fatal. There is an unmet need to improve current therapies. In patients with SLE, we observed that serum CXCL5 levels were significantly lower than healthy control subjects and negatively correlated with disease activity(1-9).Objectives:The aim of this study is to elucidate the effect of supplemental serum CXCL5 in abrogating the pathological processes of SLE.Methods:Ten doses of exogenous CXCL5 (3µg/kg) was administered to 16-week-old Faslpr mice weekly by intravenous injection. Mice were monitored for 10 weeks. Splenic immune profile was measured by flow cytometry. Circulating cytokine and immunoglobulin profile were detected by Luminex technology. Renal function was evaluated by urinary spot albumin creatinine ratio. In situ renal immune cell infiltration and complement 3 deposition were detected by Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) and immunohistochemistry staining. The molecular pathways involved were examined by RNA sequencing.Results:In Faslpr mice, intravenous administration of exogenous CXCL5 significantly improved mouse survival with concomitant reduction of autoantibody secretion, proteinuria, complement 3 deposition, neutrophil infiltration and lupus nephritis classes. Through evaluating the changes of immune profile, cytokine profile and molecular pathways, we found that intravenous CXCL5 reduced inflammation via an orchestral effect of regulating neutrophil trafficking and modulating helper T cell-mediated immune response. Pharmacokinetic and real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction studies further demonstrated that this orchestration was triggered by a cascade reaction - restoring vascular under-expressed CXCL5 by an exogenous stimulation, re-establishing the normal serum levels of endogenous CXCL5 and reverting the CXCL5 chemokine gradient between inflamed tissues and blood circulation.Conclusion:Managing the dysregulation of CXCL5 by exogenous supplement may provide a new option for SLE therapy.References:[1]Dufies M, Grytsai O, Ronco C, et al.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains an important complication with devastating consequences after total joint arthroplasties. With the increasing number of arthroplasties worldwide, the number of PJI will increase correspondingly with a significant economic burden to our healthcare system. It is likely impossible to completely eradicate PJI; hence, assessment and optimization of its risk factors to preventing such a disastrous complication will be the key. There are many strategies to prevent PJI in the preoperative, intraoperative, or postoperative phases. The preoperative assessment provides a unique opportunity to screen and diagnose underlying comorbidities and optimize modifiable risk factors before elective surgeries. In this review, we will focus on current literature in preoperative assessment of various modifiable risk factors and share the experience and practical approach in our institution in preoperative optimization to reduce PJI in total joint arthroplasties.

Abstract
Liver transplantation (LT) is definitive treatment for end-stage liver disease. This study evaluated factors predicting successful evaluation in patients transferred for urgent inpatient LT evaluation. Eighty-two patients with cirrhosis were transferred for urgent LT evaluation from January 2016 to December 2018. Alcohol-associated liver disease was the common etiology of liver disease (42/82). Of these 82 patients, 35 (43%) were declined for LT, 27 (33%) were wait-listed for LT, 5 (6%) improved, and 15 (18%) died. Psychosocial factors were the most common reasons for being declined for LT (49%). Predictors for listing and receiving LT on multivariate analysis included Hispanic race (odds ratio [OR], 1.89; P = 0.003), Asian race (OR, 1.52; P = 0.02), non-Hispanic ethnicity (OR, 1.49; P = 0.04), hyponatremia (OR, 1.38; P = 0.04), serum albumin (OR, 1.13; P = 0.01), and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD)-Na (OR, 1.02; P = 0.003). Public insurance (i.e., Medicaid) was a predictor of not being listed for LT on multivariate analysis (OR, 0.77; P = 0.02). Excluding patients declined for psychosocial reasons, predictors of being declined for LT on multivariate analysis included Chronic Liver Failure Consortium (CLIF-C) score >51.5 (OR, 1.26; P = 0.03), acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) grade 3 (OR, 1.41; P = 0.01), hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) (OR, 1.38; P = 0.01), and respiratory failure (OR, 1.51; P = 0.01). Predictors of 3-month mortality included CLIF-C score >51.5 (hazard ratio [HR], 2.52; P = 0.04) and intensive care unit (HR, 8.25; P < 0.001). Conclusion: MELD-Na, albumin, hyponatremia, ACLF grade 3, HRS, respiratory failure, public insurance, Hispanic race, Asian race, and non-Hispanic ethnicity predicted liver transplant outcome. Lack of psychosocial support was a major reason for being declined for LT. The CLIF-C score predicted being declined for LT and mortality.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
LVOT obstruction is a potentially lethal complication of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). An anticipated neoLVOT area of <2cm2 is presumed to imply prohibitive risk. Measurement of the anticipated neoLVOT can be time consuming and requires specialist software to facilitate virtual valve implantation.
Purpose
To determine simple geometrical predictors of prohibitive neoLVOT size.
Methods
165 consecutive, non-calcific FMR patients referred to a transcatheter heart valve program were analysed. Segmentation of the mitral annulus and left heart geometry was performed using CT. Suitability for a default D-shaped TMVR was determined by proprietary annular inclusion criteria. Systolic neoLVOT area was determined via virtual valve implantation of the default TMVR.
Results
Sufficient image data for annular and neoLVOT suitability assessment was available in 152 patients. 105 patients (69%) were suitable for TMVR based on annular measurements. Of these, neoLVOT area was >2cm2 in 88 (84%). Overall, compared to patients not suitable for TMVR (n=64), those suitable had larger ventricles with lower LVEF, and larger annuli (table 1). Using binomial logistic regression involving the variables within table 1, LVESD was the sole statistically significant variable to predict neoLVOT area of <2cm2 (p=0.02). LVESD <48mm had 82% sensitivity and 94% specificity for the presence of prohibitive neoLVOT (figure 1).
Conclusion
Smaller LVESD is a strong predictor of small neoLVOT, and hence LVOT obstruction post default D-shaped TMVR implantation. This simple measure may therefore be used to streamline patient selection for advanced pre-procedural imaging analysis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus is an established modifiable risk factor for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a glycaemic marker that correlates with diabetic complications and PJI. As diabetes and prediabetes are frequently asymptomatic, and there is increasing evidence to suggest a correlation between dysglycaemia and osteoarthritis, it is reasonable to provide HbA1c screening before total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of dysglycaemia in patients who underwent TKA and investigate whether HbA1c screening and optimisation of glycaemic control before TKA affects the incidence of PJI after TKA. METHODS Patients who underwent primary TKA before and after routine HbA1c screening was introduced in our unit were reviewed. Prediabetes and diabetes were defined according to the American Diabetes Association. Patients with HbA1c ≥7.5% were referred to an endocrinologist for optimisation of glycaemic control before TKA. The incidence PJI, defined according to the Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria, was recorded. RESULTS A total of 729 patients (934 knees) had HbA1c screening before TKA. Of them, 17 (2.3%) and 184 (25.2%) patients had known prediabetes and diabetes, respectively, and 265 (36.4%) and 12 (1.6%) had undiagnosed prediabetes and diabetes, respectively. The incidence of PJI was significantly lower in all patients who received HbA1c screening compared with those who did not (0.2% vs 1.02%, P=0.027). CONCLUSION Screening for HbA1c before TKA provides a cost-effective opportunity to identify undiagnosed dysglycaemia. Patients identified as having dysglycaemia receive modified treatment, significantly reducing the rate of PJI when compared with historical controls.

Abstract
Viral hepatitis can cause a wide spectrum of clinical presentations from a benign form with minimal or no symptoms to acute liver failure or death. Hepatitis D coinfection and superinfection have distinct clinical courses, with the latter more likely leading to chronic infection. Management of chronic hepatitis D virus is individualized because of the paucity of treatment options and significant side effect profile of currently available treatments. Sporadic cases of hepatitis E caused by contaminated meats are becoming increasingly prevalent in immunocompromised hosts. Human herpesviruses are an important cause of disease also in immunocompromised individuals.

Abstract
Background:Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) suffer from severe morbidity and mortality1-4, either from the disease itself or from side effects of immunosuppression5. Discovery of novel effective therapies with less toxicity is an urgent need.Objectives:The aim of this study is to elucidate the therapeutic potential and working mechanism of cytokine CXCL5 in lupus mice.Methods:Treatment with CXCL5, bone marrow (BM)-MSCs, standard of care (SOC) with combination of methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide was given to 16-week-old Faslprmice. Mice were monitored for 10 weeks. Splenic immune cell subsets were measured by flow cytometry. Circulating cytokine and immunoglobulin were detected by Luminex technology. Renal function was evaluated by urinary spot albumin creatinine ratio. In situ renal immune cell infiltration and complement 3 deposition were detected by Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining and immunohistochemistry.Results:CXCL5 demonstrated consistent and potent immunosuppressive capacity in suppressing SLE with reduced autoantibody secretion, lymphoproliferation and preserved kidney function. With further exploration, we proved that CXCL5 reduced the proliferation of helper T cells (TH1 and TH2) in thein vitrofunctional assay. When we administrated CXCL5 to lupus mice, it promoted the proliferation of regulatory T cells and reduced the proliferation of TH17 cells, macrophages and neutrophils. Multiple proinflammatory cytokines including IL-2, IL-6, IL-12, IL-17A, KC/CXCL1, MIP-1β/CCL4 and TNF-α were also reduced. When combined with SOC, CXCL5 boosted its therapeutic effect and reduced the relevant indices of disease activity. When we correlated the effect of four different treatment groups (CXCL5, BM-MSCs, SOC, and CXCL5 plus SOC) on mice survival and target cell changes, we found that TH17 cells were the key effector cells involved in the pathogenesis of SLE.Conclusion:These findings demonstrated that CXCL5 dampens inflammation in the pre-clinical model of systemic lupus erythematosus via the orchestral effect of regulating neutrophil trafficking and suppressing helper T cell-mediated immune response. Administrating exogenous CXCL5 might be an attractive option to treat patients with lupus.References:[1]Ji S, Guo Q, Han Y, Tan G, Luo Y, Zeng F.

Abstract
Current practice guidelines for acute spinal cord injury (SCI) recommend augmenting mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) for the first 7 days post-injury. After SCI, the cord may be compressed by the bone/ligaments of the spinal column, limiting regional spinal cord blood flow. Following surgical decompression, blood flow may be restored, and can potentially promote a "reperfusion" injury. The effects of MAP augmentation on the injured cord during the compressed and decompressed conditions have not been previously characterized. Here, we used our porcine model of SCI to examine the impact of MAP augmentation on blood flow, oxygenation, hydrostatic pressure, metabolism, and intraparenchymal (IP) hemorrhage within the compressed and then subsequently decompressed spinal cord. Yucatan mini-pigs underwent a T10 contusion injury followed by 2 h of sustained compression. MAP augmentation of ∼20 mm Hg was achieved with norepinephrine (NE). Animals received MAP augmentation either during the period of cord compression (CP), after decompression (DCP), or during both periods (CP-DCP). Probes to monitor spinal cord blood flow (SCBF), oxygenation, pressure, and metabolic responses were inserted into the cord parenchyma adjacent to the injury site to measure these responses. The cord was harvested for histological evaluation. MAP augmentation increased SCBF and oxygenation in all groups. In the CP-DCP group, spinal cord pressure steadily increased and histological analysis showed significantly increased hemorrhage in the spinal cord at and near the injury site. MAP augmentation with vasopressors may improve blood flow and reduce ischemia in the injured cord but may also induce undesirable increases in IP pressure and hemorrhage.

Abstract
PURPOSE Transfusion is associated with increased perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patient blood management (PBM) is an evidence-based approach to maintain blood mass via haemoglobin maintenance, haemostasis optimisation, and blood loss minimisation. The aim of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of a multimodal PBM approach in our centre. METHODS This was a single-centre retrospective study of patients who underwent primary TKA in Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong in 2013 or 2018, using data from the Clinical Data Analysis and Reporting System and a local joint registry database. Patient demographics, preoperative haemoglobin, length of stay, readmission, mean units of transfusion, postoperative prosthetic joint infection, and mortality data were compared between groups. RESULTS In total, 262 and 215 patients underwent primary TKA in 2013 and 2018, respectively. The mean transfusion rate significantly decreased after PBM implementation (2013: 31.3%; 2018: 1.9%, P<0.001); length of stay after TKA also significantly decreased (2013: 14.49±8.10 days; 2018: 8.77±10.14 days, P<0.001). However, there were no statistically significant differences in readmission, early prosthetic joint infection, or 90-day mortality rates between the two groups. CONCLUSION Our PBM programme effectively reduced the allogeneic blood transfusion rate in patients undergoing TKA in our institution. Thus, PBM should be considered in current TKA protocols to reduce rates of transfusions and related complications.

Abstract
KEY POINTS We have developed a novel porcine model of high-thoracic midline contusion spinal cord injury (SCI) at the T2 spinal level. We describe this model and the ensuing cardiovascular and neurohormonal responses, and demonstrate the model is efficacious for studying clinically relevant cardiovascular dysfunction post-SCI. We demonstrate that the high-thoracic SCI model, but not a low-thoracic SCI model, induces persistent hypotension along with a gradual reduction in plasma noradrenaline and increases in plasma aldosterone and angiotensin II. We additionally conducted a proof-of-concept long-term (12 weeks) survival study in animals with T2 contusion SCI demonstrating the potential utility of this model for not only acute experimentation but also long-term drug studies prior to translation to the clinic. ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the spinal cord injury (SCI) population, especially in those with high-thoracic or cervical SCI. With this in mind, we aimed to develop a large animal (porcine) model of high-thoracic (T2 level) contusion SCI and compare the haemodynamic and neurohormonal responses of this injury against a low-thoracic (T10 level) model. Ten Yorkshire pigs were randomly subjected to 20 cm weight drop contusion SCI at either the T2 or the T10 spinal level. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were continuously monitored until 4 h post-SCI. Plasma noradrenaline (NA), aldosterone and angiotensin II (ANGII) were measured pre-SCI and at 30, 60, 120 and 240 min post-SCI. Additionally, two Yucatan pigs were subjected to T2-SCI and survived up to 12 weeks post-injury to demonstrate the efficacy of this model for long-term survival studies. Immediately after T2-SCI, SBP, MAP and HR increased (P < 0.0001). Between decompression (5 min post-SCI) and 30 min post-decompression in T2-SCI, SBP and MAP were lower than pre-SCI (P < 0.038). At 3 and 4 h after T2-SCI, SBP remained lower than pre-SCI (P = 0.048). After T10-SCI, haemodynamic indices remained largely unaffected. Plasma NA was lower in T2- vs. T10-SCI post-SCI, whilst aldosterone and ANGII were higher. Both chronically injured pigs demonstrated a vast reduction in SBP at 12 weeks post-SCI. Our model of T2-SCI causes a rapid and sustained alteration in neurohormonal control and cardiovascular function, which does not occur in the T10 model.

Abstract
Identifying effective therapies for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with fibrosis is a pressing challenge, with 1%-2% of the population in developed nations at risk of developing NASH cirrhosis and its complications. The design of NASH clinical therapeutic trials is hampered by the long period of minimally symptomatic disease that typically precedes the development of decompensated cirrhosis and the accompanying uncertainties regarding the best precirrhotic trial endpoints that reliably reflect a subsequent reduction in liver-related morbidity and mortality. The Liver Forum is a multistakeholder organization comprised of academic, industry, and regulatory experts working from a regulatory science perspective to identify barriers, prioritize research, and identify solutions to accelerate therapeutic development for NASH. Past work of The Liver Forum has focused on recommendations for disease definitions and baseline parameters to be implemented in clinical trials that are designed to assess disease status and prevent progression to cirrhosis, liver transplantation, hepatocellular carcinoma, and death. The purpose of this summary is to review currently available clinical data to identify parameters that change in parallel with liver histology and are likely to reflect clinically meaningful reductions in the risk of developing cirrhosis and its complications. We review available data on exploratory histological, blood-based, and imaging pharmacodynamic biomarkers that may reflect meaningful treatment responses and provide recommendations regarding measurements to be considered in phase 2 and 3 trials as well as during postmarketing monitoring trials.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Review. OBJECTIVES Clinical studies have shown that the hemodynamic management of patients following acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is an important aspect of their treatment for maintaining spinal cord (SC) perfusion and minimizing ischemic secondary injury to the SC. While this highlights the importance of ensuring adequate perfusion and oxygenation to the injured cord, a method for the real-time monitoring of these hemodynamic measures within the SC is lacking. The purpose of this review is to discuss current and potential methods for SC hemodynamic monitoring with special focus on applications using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). METHODS A literature search using the PubMed database. All peer-reviewed articles on NIRS monitoring of SC published from inception to May 2019 were reviewed. RESULTS Among 125 papers related to SC hemodynamics monitoring, 26 focused on direct/indirect NIRS monitoring of the SC. DISCUSSION Current options for continuous, non-invasive, and real-time monitoring of SC hemodynamics are challenging and limited in scope. As a relatively new technique, NIRS has been successfully used for monitoring human cerebral hemodynamics, and has shown promising results in intraoperative assessment of SC hemodynamics in both human and animal models. Although utilizing NIRS to monitor the SC has been validated, applying NIRS clinically following SCI requires further development and investigation. CONCLUSIONS NIRS is a promising non-invasive technique with the potential to provide real-time monitoring of relevant parameters in the SC. Currently, in its first developmental stages, further clinical and experimental studies are mandatory to ensure the validity and safety of NIRS techniques.

Abstract
Critically ill patients frequently present with the systemic inflammatory response syndrome, which is largely a reflection of the liver's response to injury. Underlying hepatic congestion is a major risk factor for hypoxic liver injury, the most common cause for hepatocellular injury. Cholestatic liver injury often occurs in critically ill patients due to inhibition of farnesoid X receptor (FXR), the main regulator of bile acid handling, particularly in the liver and intestines. Additional injury to the liver occurs due to alterations in the bile acid pool with increased cytotoxic forms and disturbance in the typical processing of xenobiotics in the liver.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Capivasertib (AZD5363), an AKT1,2,3 inhibitor, significantly improved progression-free and overall survival when added to paclitaxel in triple negative breast cancer (BC) patients (Schmid et al. ASCO 2018). We have previously reported in STAKT, robust target inhibition at 480mg BD versus placebo, including significant decreases in the primary biomarkers (PBs) - Ki67, pPRAS40 & pGSK3β - in primary BCs (Robertson et al. SABCS 2017). We now report the dose- and exposure-response relationship of capivasertib and the correlation between primary and secondary (pAKT, pS6, nuclear FOXO3a) tumor biomarkers.
Design: STAKT was a two-stage, double blind, randomized, placebo controlled 'window-of-opportunity' trial in newly diagnosed ER+ BC patients. Stage 1 assessed capivasertib at a dose of 480mg BD p.o. versus placebo. Stage 2 assessed capivasertib at two lower doses 360mg and 240mg BD. Tumor biopsies were taken prior to 1st dose and after 4.5 days of dosing. Evaluable patients (who required pre-defined minimum baseline PD values for PBs) included placebo (n=11), capivasertib at 480mg (n=17), 360mg (n=5) and 240mg (n=6). Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) studies were scheduled at pre-dose; 2, 4, optional 6 & 8 hrs post first dose on Day 1; ˜2-4 h post last dose on Day 5 (before biopsy). The % change from baseline for PBs were evaluated against the following exposure variables (placebo=0): i) Dose, ii) Observed Cmax Day 1 (˜2h post-dose), iii) Observed plasma concentration on Day 5, iv) Model-predicted plasma concentration Day 5 at time of biopsy, and v) Model-predicted AUC on Day 5. Spearman correlation coefficient measured the strength and direction of association between biomarkers.
Results:
· Significant mean reductions in % change from baseline were observed for the PBs pGSK3β (-39%; p<0.006), pPRAS40 (-50%; p<0.0001) and Ki67 (-23%; p=0.052) at 480mg versus placebo. At 360mg and 240mg, mean % changes from baseline in pGSK3β were -27% and -9%, respectively; in pPRAS40 -45% and -28%, respectively; and in Ki67 0% and +22%, respectively.
· Dose-response relationships for individual % change from baseline could be described by an Emax model for all PBs. Overall, the correlation to PK exposure (observed or predicted) was similar to the correlation to dose.
· Correlation coefficient analyses between biomarkers at capivasertib 480mg BD identified- i) Positive correlations for pGSK3β with Ki67 (ρ = 0.52, p-value < 0.05) & with pS6 (ρ = 0.54, p-value<0.05); ii) Negative correlations between FOXO3a and Ki67 (ρ = -0.75, p-value<0.001) pGSK3β (ρ = -0.71, p-value<0.001) & also pS6 (ρ = -0.61, p-value<0.001).Correlation coefficients for lower doses are not robust due to small sample size in these groups.
Conclusions
· Capivasertib caused dose- and concentration- dependent effects on biomarkers after only 4.5 days.
· Significant changes in the PBs were demonstrated at 480 mg BD. Biomarker changes was observed at 360mg and 240mg BD, but statistical analysis was limited by the small sample size at lower doses.
· Correlation between a number of tumor biomarkers (relative changes) were identified for capivasertib 480mg BD.

Abstract
Infections remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with liver failure. A number of factors, including relative immune dysfunction and systemic inflammation, bacterial translocation, gut dysbiosis, small intestine bacterial overgrowth, altered bile acid pools, and changes in pH due to acid suppression, contribute to the high rates of infection in this population. Though a range of infections can complicate the course of cirrhotic patients, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), cholangitis, and cholecystitis in addition to other infections (i.e. pneumonia, urinary tract infection, bacteremia, and Clostridioides difficile colitis) are more common in this population and will be reviewed in this article. Preventative strategies are directed at minimizing the risk of SBP through the use of targeted antimicrobial prophylaxis. Lastly, the critically ill cirrhotic patient may present with an acute need for liver transplantation. Thus, careful assessment for ongoing infection should be performed and treated to optimize outcomes of transplant, if needed.
