In this study, we hypothesized that a moderate perioperative mean blood glucose level of<150mg/dL improves long-term survival in cardiac surgery patients. We conducted a prospective, observational cohort study in the heart center of the University Medical Center of Goettingen, Germany. Patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery were enrolled in this investigation. After evaluating perioperative blood glucose levels, patients were classified into 2 groups based on mean glucose levels: Glucose 150mg/dL and Glucose<150mg/dL. Patients were followed up for 5 years, and mortality within this period was recorded as the primary outcome parameter. Secondary outcome parameters included the length of ICU stay, the use of inotropic agents, the length of hospital stay, and the in-hospital mortality. A total of 455 consecutive patients who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were enrolled in this investigation. A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of the 5-year mortality risk revealed a higher mortality risk among patients with glucose levels 150mg/dL (P=0.0043, log-rank test). After adjustment for confounders in a multivariate Cox regression model, the association between glucose 150mg/dL and 5-year mortality remained significant (hazard ratio, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.30-3.39; P=0.0023). This association was corroborated by propensity score matching, in which Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated significant improvement in the 5-year survival of patients with glucose levels<150mg/dL (P=0.0339). Similarly, in-hospital mortality was significantly higher in patients with glucose 150mg/dL compared with patients with glucose<150mg/dL. Moreover, patients in the Glucose 150mg/dL group required significantly higher doses of the inotropic agent Dobutamine (mg/d) compared with patients in the Glucose<150mg/dL group (20.6 +/- 62.3 and 10.5 +/- 40.7, respectively; P=0.0104). Moreover, patients in the Glucose 150mg/dL group showed a significantly longer hospital stay compared with patients in the Glucose<150mg/dL group (28 +/- 23 and 24 +/- 19, respectively; P=0.0297). We conclude that perioperative blood glucose levels<150mg/dL are associated with improved 5-year survival in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Statins are expected to attenuate inflammation in the lungs of patients with ARDS due to their anti-inflammatory effects. Clinical investigations of the role of statin therapy have revealed contradictory results. This study aimed to investigate whether pretreatment and continuous therapy with statins in patients with sepsis-associated ARDS are associated with 28-day survival according to disease severity (mild, moderate, or severe). Methods: Patients with sepsis-associated ARDS from the surgical intensive care were enrolled in this prospective observational investigation. ARDS was classified into three groups (mild, moderate, and severe); 28-day mortality was recorded as the primary outcome variable and organ failure was recorded as secondary outcome variable. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores and the requirements for organ support were evaluated throughout the observational period to assess organ failure. Results: 404 patients with sepsis-associated ARDS were enrolled in this investigation. The distribution of the ARDS subgroups was 13 %, 59 %, and 28 % for mild, moderate, and severe disease, respectively. Statin therapy improved 28-day survival exclusively in the patients with severe ARDS compared with patients without statin therapy (88.5 % and 62.5 %, respectively; P = 0.0193). To exclude the effects of several confounders, we performed multivariate Cox regression analysis, which showed that statin therapy remained a significant covariate for mortality (hazard ratio, 5.46; 95 % CI, 1.38-21.70; P = 0.0156). Moreover, after carrying a propensity score-matching in the severe ARDS cohort, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis confirmed the improved 28-day survival among patients with statin therapy (P = 0.0205). Patients with severe ARDS who received statin therapy had significantly more vasopressor-free days compared with those without statin therapy (13 +/- 7 and 9 +/- 7, respectively; P = 0.0034), and they also required less extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy and had more ECMO-free days (18 +/- 9 and 15 +/- 9, respectively; P = 0.0873).

A functional polymorphism within the CD14 gene, rs2569190, has been shown to impact the pro-inflammatory response upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide, a central mediator of inflammation in sepsis. In this study, we hypothesized that the strong pro-inflammatory response induced by the TT genotype of CD14 rs2569190 may have a beneficial effect on survival (30-day) in patients with sepsis. A total of 417 adult patients with sepsis (and of western European descent) were enrolled into this observational study. Blood samples were collected for rs2569190 genotyping. Patients were followed over the course of their stay in the ICU, and the 30-day mortality risk was recorded as the primary outcome parameter. Sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores were quantified at sepsis onset and throughout the observational period to monitor organ failure as a secondary variable. Moreover, organ support-free days were evaluated as a secondary outcome parameter. TT-homozygous patients were compared to C-allele carriers. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed a higher 30-day mortality risk among C-allele carriers compared with T homozygotes (p = 0.0261). To exclude the effect of potential confounders (age, gender, BMI and type of infection) and covariates that varied at baseline with a p-value < 0.2 (e.g., comorbidities), we performed multivariate Cox regression analysis to examine the survival time. The CD14 rs2569190 C allele remained a significant covariate for the 30-day mortality risk in the multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.08-4.12; p = 0.0282). The 30-day mortality rate among C allele carriers was 23%, whereas the T homozygotes had a mortality rate of 13%. Additionally, an analysis of organ-specific SOFA scores revealed a significantly higher SOFA-Central nervous system score among patients carrying the C allele compared with T-homozygous patients (1.9 +/- 1.1 and 1.6 +/- 1.0, respectively; p = 0.0311).

In the past, this was shown in some studies using animal models. However, few data exist regarding how the human end-stage failing myocardium, in which compensatory mechanisms are exhausted, reacts to acute mild metabolic acidosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mild metabolic acidosis on contractility and the beta-adrenergic response of isolated trabeculae from human end-stage failing hearts. Methods: Intact isometrically twitching trabeculae isolated from patients with end-stage heart failure were exposed to mild metabolic acidosis (pH 7.20). Trabeculae were stimulated at increasing frequencies and finally exposed to increasing concentrations of isoproterenol (0 to 1 x 10(-6) M). Results: A mild metabolic acidosis caused a depression in twitch-force amplitude of 26% (12.1 +/- 1.9 to 9.0 +/- 1.5 mN/mm(2); n = 12; P < 0.01) as compared with pH 7.40. Force-frequency relation measurements yielded no further significant differences of twitch force. At the maximal isoproterenol concentration, the force amplitude was comparable in each of the two groups (pH 7.40 versus pH 7.20). However, the half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) was significantly increased in the acidosis group, with an EC50 of 5.834 x 10(-8) M (confidence interval (CI), 3.48 x 10(-8) to 9.779 x 10(-8); n = 9), compared with the control group, which had an EC50 of 1.056 x 10(-8) M (CI, 2.626 x 10(-9) to 4.243 x 10(-8); n = 10; P < 0.05), indicating an impaired beta-adrenergic force response.

Twenty patients undergoing CABG surgery were studied. Patients were assigned to an isoflurane or control group. Hemodynamic and flow measurements during CABG surgery were performed twice (15 minutes after the discontinuation of extracorporeal circulation (T15) and again 15 minutes later (T30)). The zero flow pressure intercept (a measure of COP) was extrapolated from a linear regression analysis of the instantaneous diastolic P-F relationship. In the isoflurane group, the application of isoflurane significantly increased the slope of the diastolic P-F relationship by 215% indicating a mean reduction of Coronary Vascular Resistance (CVR) by 46%. Simultaneously, the Mean Diastolic Aortic Pressure (MDAP) decreased by 19% mainly due to a decrease in the systemic vascular resistance index by 21%. The COP, cardiac index, heart rate, Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Pressure (LVEDP) and Coronary Sinus Pressure (CSP) did not change significantly. In the control group, the parameters remained unchanged. In both groups, COP significantly exceeded the CSP and LVEDP at both time points.

Methods: Adult Caucasian patients with sepsis from the intensive care unit of a university medical center were followed up for 90 days, and organ failure was recorded as the primary outcome variable. Blood samples were collected at enrollment for TLR4 rs11536889 genotyping. Sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores were quantified at sepsis onset and throughout the observational period to monitor organ failure. Results: A total of 210 critically ill patients with sepsis were enrolled into this study. Wild-type GG was compared to GC/CC. During their stay in the intensive care unit, GG patients presented significantly higher SOFA scores than did C allele carriers (7.9 +/- 4.5 and 6.8 +/- 4.2, respectively; p = 0.0005). Analysis of organ-specific SOFA sub-scores revealed significant differences in three organ systems: renal, coagulation and hepatic (p = 0.0005, p = 0.0245 and p < 0.0001, respectively). Additionally, the rs11536889 polymorphism was associated with a higher incidence of gram-negative infections. Conclusions: These results offer the first evidence that TLR4 rs11536889 is a useful marker of organ failure in patients with sepsis."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/1479-5876-12-177"],["dc.identifier.isi","000339026200001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24950711"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/10433"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/33149"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","1479-5876"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","The regulatory toll-like receptor 4 genetic polymorphism rs11536889 is associated with renal, coagulation and hepatic organ failure in sepsis patients"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
