Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a common technique in cardiac surgery but is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), which carries considerable morbidity and mortality. In this review, we explore the range and definition of CPB-associated AKI and discuss the possible impact of different disease recognition methods on research outcomes. Furthermore, we introduce the specialized equipment and procedural intricacies associated with CPB surgeries. Based on recent research, we discuss the potential pathogenesis of AKI that may result from CPB, including compromised perfusion and oxygenation, inflammatory activation, oxidative stress, coagulopathy, hemolysis, and endothelial damage. Finally, we explore current interventions aimed at preventing and attenuating renal impairment related to CPB, and presenting these measures from three perspectives: (1) avoiding CPB to eliminate the fundamental impact on renal function; (2) optimizing CPB by adjusting equipment parameters, optimizing surgical procedures, or using improved materials to mitigate kidney damage; (3) employing pharmacological or interventional measures targeting pathogenic factors.

Abstract
Cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with postoperative renal dysfunction, one of the most common complications of this surgical cohort. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased short-term morbidity and mortality and has been the focus of much research. There is increasing recognition of the role of AKI as the key pathophysiological state leading to the disease entities acute and chronic kidney disease (AKD and CKD). In this narrative review, we will consider the epidemiology of renal dysfunction after cardiac surgery on CPB and the clinical manifestations across the spectrum of disease. We will discuss the transition between different states of injury and dysfunction, and, importantly, the relevance to clinicians. The specific facets of kidney injury on extracorporeal circulation will be described and the current evidence evaluated for the use of perfusion-based techniques to reduce the incidence and mitigate the complications of renal dysfunction after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Background Cardiopulmonary bypass may cause malfunction in the myocardium. Cuproptosis is a novel cell death aggregating mitochondrial proteins. However, the research on cardiopulmonary bypass‐caused heart tissue injury in immune infiltration and cuproptosis is limited. Method Immune infiltration, enrichment analysis, protein−protein interaction network, and medication prediction are applied to reanalysis differentially expressed genes and cuproptosis‐related genes in gene expression omnibus data set GSE132176. Results Seven cuproptosis related genes (PDHA1, LIPT1, LIAS, DLST, DLD, DLAT, and DBT) and dendritic cells and Th1 cells are involved in heart tissue injury in response to surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Conclusions Immune infiltration and cuproptosis are potential mechanisms by which cardiopulmonary bypass surgery may cause damage to heart tissue, which may be a new therapeutic target.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication of cardiac surgery and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity, accompanied by a substantial economic burden. The pathogenesis of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is multifactorial and complex, with a variety of pathophysiological theories. In addition to the existing diagnostic criteria, the exploration and validation of biomarkers is the focus of research in the field of CSA-AKI diagnosis. Prevention remains the key to the management of CSA-AKI, and common strategies include maintenance of renal perfusion, individualized blood pressure targets, balanced fluid management, goal-directed oxygen delivery, and avoidance of nephrotoxins. This article reviews the pathogenesis, definition and diagnosis, and pharmacological and nonpharmacological prevention strategies of AKI in cardiac surgical patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to identify the cause for Acute Haemolytic Transfusion Reaction (AHTR) in five patients who received red cell transfusions. BACKGROUND The occurrence of red coloured urine following blood transfusion carries the possibility of an immune or non-immune mediated haemolytic transfusion reaction (HTR). Non-immune haemolysis can be due to thermal, osmotic, or mechanical injury to red blood cells. The authors report five cases of non-immune HTR that occurred in surgical patients in the peri-operative period. METHODS AHTR was reported to the Transfusion Medicine Department, in five patients who underwent surgery and received a blood transfusion in the peri-operative period. Transfusion reaction workup and RCA were performed to identify the cause for AHTR. RESULTS The initial presentation was red coloured urine and suspicion of an immune HTR. Immunohaematology workup ruled out an immune mediated haemolysis and further analysis revealed the possibility of mechanical red cell destruction in all these cases. CONCLUSION Multiple factors can result in non-immune destruction of red cells. Possibility of non-immune haemolysis should be considered while evaluating haemolytic transfusion reactions.

Investigating the Molecular Mechanisms of Renal Hepcidin Induction and Protection upon Hemoglobin-Induced Acute Kidney Injury. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23031352.

Abstract
Hemolysis is known to cause acute kidney injury (AKI). The iron regulatory hormone hepcidin, produced by renal distal tubules, is suggested to exert a renoprotective role during this pathology. We aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of renal hepcidin synthesis and its protection against hemoglobin-induced AKI. In contrast to known hepatic hepcidin induction, incubation of mouse cortical collecting duct (mCCDcl1) cells with IL-6 or LPS did not induce Hamp1 mRNA expression, whereas iron (FeS) and hemin significantly induced hepcidin synthesis (p < 0.05). Moreover, iron/heme-mediated hepcidin induction in mCCDcl1 cells was caused by the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway, as indicated by increased nuclear Nrf2 translocation and induced expression of Nrf2 downstream targets GCLM (p < 0.001), NQO1 (p < 0.001), and TXNRD1 (p < 0.005), which could be prevented by the known Nrf2 inhibitor trigonelline. Newly created inducible kidney-specific hepcidin KO mice demonstrated a significant reduction in renal Hamp1 mRNA expression. Phenylhydrazine (PHZ)-induced hemolysis caused renal iron loading and oxidative stress in both wildtype (Wt) and KO mice. PHZ treatment in Wt induced inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNFα) but not Hamp1. However, since PHZ treatment also significantly reduced systemic hepcidin levels in both Wt and KO mice (both p < 0.001), a dissection between the roles of systemic and renal hepcidin could not be made. Combined, the results of our study indicate that there are kidney-specific mechanisms in hepcidin regulation, as indicated by the dominant role of iron and not inflammation as an inducer of renal hepcidin, but also emphasize the complex interplay of various iron regulatory mechanisms during AKI on a local and systemic level.

Protective effect of MiR-146 on renal injury following cardiopulmonary bypass in rats through mediating NF-κB signaling pathway. Bioengineered 2022; 13:593-602.

Abstract
The mechanism of renal injury after cardiopulmonary bypass is not clear, and the protective effect of microRNA-146 through mediating NF KB signaling pathway needs to be verified. The study intends to establish a rat model of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). MiR-146 is silenced or overexpressed by lentivirus transfection. It is divided into miR-146 inhibitors group (inhibitors), miR-146 mimics group (mimics) and sham group. It is found that the contents of Cr, bun and MDA in blood = , serum IL-1, IL-6 and TNF in mimics group are higher than those in the other two groups- α Content, apoptosis rate, ICAM-1, TNF- α, NF- κ B mRNA and NF- κ B protein decreased significantly (P < 0.05), while the content of SOD in kidney increased significantly (P < 0.05). In the inhibitors group, the above indicators showed the opposite results. Double luciferase assay showed that NF-kB was the target gene of miR-146. It can be seen that the expression of miR-146 inhibits inflammatory factors, apoptosis, oxidative stress and NF- κ the activation of B pathway promotes the repair of renal injury in CPB rats.

Abstract
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) may attenuate acute kidney injury (AKI). However, results of studies evaluating the effect of RIPC on AKI after cardiac surgery have been controversial and contradictory.The aim of this meta-analysis is to examine the association between RIPC and AKI after on-pump cardiac surgery.The authors searched relevant studies in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library through December 2015.We considered for inclusion all randomized controlled trials that the role of RIPC in reducing AKI and renal replacement therapy (RRT) among patients underwent on-pump cardiac surgical procedures.We collected the data on AKI, initiation of RRT, serum creatinine (sCr) levels, and in-hospital mortality. Random- and fixed-effect models were used for pooling data.Nineteen trials including 5100 patients were included. The results of this meta-analysis showed a significant benefit of RIPC for reducing the incidence of AKI after cardiac interventions (odds ratio [OR] = 0.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.73-0.98; P = 0.02). No significant difference was found in the incidence of RRT between RIPC and control (OR, 0.76, 95% CI, 0.46-1.24; P = 0.36). In addition, compared with standard medical care, RIPC showed no significant difference in postoperative sCr (IV 0.07; 95% CI, -0.03 to 0.16; P = 0.20; postoperative day 1; IV 0.00; 95% CI, -0.08 to 0.09; P = 0.92; postoperative day 2; IV 0.04; 95% CI, -0.05 to 0.12; P = 0.39; postoperative day 3), and in-hospital mortality (OR, 1.21, 95% CI, 0.64-2.30; P = 0.56).According to the results from present meta-analysis, RIPC was associated with a significant reduction AKI after on-pump cardiac surgery but incidence of RRT, postoperative sCr, and in-hospital mortality. Further high-quality randomized controlled trials and experimental researches comparing RIPC are desirable.

Abstract
Inflammation and oxidative damage are believed to play an important role in the postoperative complications after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in neonates. During the preparation of the prime, red blood cells (RBCs) release non-protein-bound iron (NPBI) and free haemoglobin/haem (Hb/haem). The presence of these prooxidants in the prime solution may increase oxidative stress in neonates undergoing CPB. The solution used as the basis of the prime solution may influence the degree of this oxidative stress. We investigated the NPBI and the Hb/haem binding capacities of two different prime solutions: a prime based on pasteurized human albumin and a prime based on fresh frozen plasma. The presence of NPBI and free Hb/haem were measured during and after the preparation of the prime solution. Only in the albumin prime was NPBI detectable. However, in both primes, the concentrations of free Hb/haem increased. Thus, to reduce the prooxidative effects of NPBI and free Hb/haem, RBCs should be added to the prime at the last possible moment. Adding fresh frozen plasma should be considered, as this would result in no detectable NPBI in the prime solution.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious postoperative complication following cardiac surgery. Despite the incidence of AKI requiring temporary renal replacement therapy being low, it is nonetheless associated with high morbidity and mortality. Therefore, preventing AKI associated with cardiac surgery can dramatically improve outcomes in these patients. The pathogenesis of AKI is multifactorial and many attempts to prevent or treat renal injury have been met with limited success. In this article, we will discuss the incidence and risk factors for cardiac surgery associated AKI, including the pathophysiology, potential biomarkers of injury, and treatment modalities.

Abstract
Approximately 18% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery experience AKI (on the basis of modern standardized definitions of AKI), and approximately 2%-6% will require hemodialysis. The development of AKI after cardiac surgery portends poor short- and long-term prognoses, with those developing RIFLE failure or AKI Network stage III having an almost 2-fold increase in the risk of death. AKI is caused by a variety of factors, including nephrotoxins, hypoxia, mechanical trauma, inflammation, cardiopulmonary bypass, and hemodynamic instability, and it may be affected by the clinician's choice of fluids and vasoactive agents as well as the transfusion strategy used. The risk of AKI may be ameliorated by avoidance of nephrotoxins, achievement of adequate glucose control preoperatively, and use of goal-directed therapy hemodynamic strategies. Remote ischemic preconditioning is an exciting future strategy, but more work is needed before widespread implementation. Unfortunately, there are no pharmacologic agents known to reduce the risk of AKI or treat established AKI.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review, we discuss the potential role of urinary hepcidin, a 2.8-kDa hormonal regulator of iron metabolism, as a biomarker of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass. RECENT FINDINGS Hepcidin is one of the novel biomarkers of AKI that have been identified using hypothesis-free, proteomic analysis of urine or plasma in patients who develop AKI. Collectively, these markers promise a new era for the early diagnosis and treatment of AKI in the ICU and an understanding of their biological role may also provide mechanistic insights into the pathogenesis of AKI. Although data confirming the association between urinary hepcidin and AKI are as yet limited, we believe hepcidin is of particular interest because hepcidin may be a biomarker specific to cardiopulmonary bypass-associated AKI; as a central regulator of iron metabolism, hepcidin could play a biological role in the pathogenesis of AKI after cardiopulmonary bypass; and hepcidin displays an intriguing negative association with AKI, in that a smaller increase in hepcidin from baseline after cardiopulmonary bypass appears to predict greater chance of developing AKI. SUMMARY Smaller increases in urinary hepcidin, a central regulator of iron metabolism, may be associated with greater risk of AKI after cardiopulmonary bypass. Further research is required to establish the significance and nature of this association.

Abstract
Extracorporeal circulation (ECC), a necessary and integral part of cardiac surgery, can itself induce deleterious effects in patients. The pathogenesis of diffuse damage of several tissues is multifactorial. It is believed that circulation of blood extracorporeally through plastic tubes causes a whole body inflammatory response and a severe shear stress to blood cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of oxidative stress and its deleterious effect on red blood cell (RBC) before (pre-ECC), immediately after (per-ECC) and 24 h after an ECC (24 h post-ECC). Several indicators of extracellular oxidative status were evaluated. The ascorbyl free radical (AFR) was directly measured in plasma using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and expressed with respect to vitamin C levels in order to obtain a direct index of oxidative stress. Allophycocyanin assay was also used to investigate the plasma antioxidant status (PAS). Indirect parameters of antioxidant capacities of plasma such as vitamin E, thiol and uric acid levels were also quantified. RBC alterations were evaluated through potassium efflux and carbonyl levels after action of AAPH, a compound generating carbon centered free radicals. No changes in plasma uric acid and thiols levels were observed after ECC. However, vitamin E levels and PAS were decreased in per-ECC and 24h post-ECC samples. Vitamin C levels were significantly lower in 24 h post-ECC and the AFR/ vitamin C ratio was increased. Differences in results had been noted when measurements took account of hemodilution. Increases of uric acid and thiols levels were observed after ECC. Vitamin E levels were not modified. However after hemodilution correction a significant decrease of vitamin C level was noted in 24 h post-ECC samples as compared to per-ECC sample. Whatever the way of measurement, vitamin C levels decreased suggesting the occurrence of ECC induced-oxidative stress. Concerning RBC, in the absence of AAPH, extracellular potassium remained unchanged between pre-, per- and 24 h post-ECC. AAPH induced a significant increase in extracellular potassium and carbonyls levels of RBC membranes, which was not modified by ECC. These results suggest the absence of alterations of RBC membrane during ECC despite the occurrence of disturbances in PAS. Such protection is of particular importance in a cell engaged in the transport of oxygen and suggests that RBC are equipped with mechanisms affording a protection against free radicals.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass surgery occurs in nearly 1 million patients per year. Acute kidney injury requiring dialysis can occur in up to 1% of these patients. The development of acute kidney injury is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality independent of all other factors, and many patients are left dependent on dialysis therapies. The pathogenesis of acute kidney injury involves multiple pathways. Hemodynamic, inflammatory, and nephrotoxic factors are involved and overlap each other in leading to kidney injury. Clinical studies have identified risk factors for acute kidney injury that can be used to effectively determine the risk of acute kidney injury in patients undergoing bypass surgery. These high-risk patients can then be targeted for renal protective strategies. Thus far, no single strategy has conclusively demonstrated its ability to prevent renal injury post-bypass surgery. Novel anti-inflammatory agents are in development and offer hope as potential therapies.

Abstract
Hemoglobin (Hb) solutions have been proposed as potential substitutes for erythrocytes to maintain oxygen-carrying capacity in situations in which blood is not available. This study investigated systemic and microvascular hemodynamics as well as tissue oxygenation and viability after an 80% exchange transfusion with an oxygen-carrying blood substitute based on polymerized bovine hemoglobin (PBH). Studies were carried in unanesthetized hamsters prepared with a window-chamber model for microcirculation evaluation. Heme iron-mediated injury to the tissue was analyzed by using deferoxamine (an iron chelator), which reduces free iron toxicity. Exchange transfusion led to a significant decrease in hematocrit (Hct) and an increase in plasma Hb, in addition to a significant decrease of arteriolar and venular diameters, flow velocity, and, therefore, microvascular blood flow. Capillary perfusion was severely compromised after exchange, but tissue pO2 increased above baseline, and oxygen extraction was reduced. Apoptotic and necrotic cells increased significantly after the exchange; however, this effect was only partially due to the toxicity of free iron. Iron therapy decreased the microvascular and oxygenation changes but did not fully reverse the adverse effects. Assessment of tissue viability after exchange suggests that chelation treatment in cases of large exchange transfusions with acellular Hb could be potentially beneficial.

Abstract
Acute renal failure (ARF) occurs in up to 30% of patients who undergo cardiac surgery, with dialysis being required in approximately 1% of all patients. The development of ARF is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality independent of all other factors. The pathogenesis of ARF involves multiple pathways. Hemodynamic, inflammatory, and nephrotoxic factors are involved and overlap each other in leading to kidney injury. Clinical studies have identified risk factors for ARF that can be used to determine effectively the risk for ARF in patients who undergo bypass surgery. These high-risk patients then can be targeted for renal protective strategies. Thus far, no single strategy has demonstrated conclusively its ability to prevent renal injury after bypass surgery. Several compounds such as atrial natriuretic peptide and N-acetylcysteine have shown promise, but large-scale trials are needed.

Abstract
Conventional cardiopulmonary bypass surgery (CCPB) increases the iron loading of plasma transferrin often to a state of plasma iron overload, with the presence of low molecular mass iron. Such iron is a potential risk factor for oxidative stress and microbial virulence. Here we assess 'off-pump' coronary artery surgery on the beating heart for changes in plasma iron chemistry. Seventeen patients undergoing cardiac surgery using the 'Octopus' myocardial wall stabilisation device were monitored at five time points for changes in plasma iron chemistry. This group was further divided into those (n=9) who had one- or two- (n=8) vessel grafts, and compared with eight patients undergoing conventional coronary artery surgery. Patients undergoing beating heart surgery had significantly lower levels of total plasma non-haem iron, and a decreased percentage saturation of their transferrin at all time points compared to conventional bypass patients. Plasma iron overload occurred in only one patient undergoing CCPB. Beating heart surgery appears to decrease red blood cell haemolysis, and tissue damage during the operative procedures and thereby significantly decreases the risk of plasma iron overload associated with conventional bypass.

Abstract
Adult patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery are subjected to increased oxidative stress and show a spectrum of lung injury. Increased levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are often seen during episodes of oxidative stress, such as the use of high FiO2s, and this molecule plays a key role in the formation of highly damaging oxidants such as the hydroxyl radical. Oxidative damage to plasma proteins was assessed by measuring free thiol groups, and antioxidant protection against H2O2 by measuring catalase activity. CPB patients (n = 39) receiving either 100% or 50% oxygen at the end of bypass were studied by measuring levels of H2O2 in breath condensate and levels of catalase in their plasma, and comparing these to pre-bypass levels. Post-bypass, all CPB patients exhaled significantly lower levels of H2O2 (P < 0.0001) at a time when they had significantly increased activity (0.809 +/- 0.11 versus 1.688 +/- 0.18 U/mg protein) of catalase in their plasma. There were no significant differences in these parameters between the 100% and 50% oxygen groups. At a time when oxidative stress is greatest, there appears to be a corresponding plasma increase in the antioxidant catalase. Whether this change is fortuitous or a response to oxidative stress is at present under consideration.

Abstract
Pathological changes in iron status are known to occur during bypass and will be superimposed upon physiological abnormalities in iron distribution, characteristic of the neonatal period. We have sought to define the severity of iron overload in these patients. Plasma samples from 65 paediatric patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were analysed for non-haem iron, total iron binding capacity, transferrin and bleomycin-detectable iron. Patients were divided into four age groups for analysis. Within each age group, patients who were in iron overload at any time point were statistically compared to those who were not. The most significant changes in iron chemistry were seen in the plasma of neonates, with 25% in a state of plasma iron overload. 18.5% of infants and 14.3% of children at 1-5 years were also in iron overload at some time point during CPB. No children over 5 years, however, went into iron overload. Increased iron saturation of transferrin eliminates its ability to bind reactive forms of iron and to act as an antioxidant. When transferrin is fully saturated with iron, reactive forms of iron are present in the plasma which can stimulate iron-driven oxidative reactions. Our data suggest that paediatric patients are at greater risk of iron overload during CPB, and that some form of iron chelation therapy may be advantageous to decrease oxidative stress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between oxidative stress resulting from cardiopulmonary bypass and the onset of increased pulmonary vascular permeability. DESIGN Prospective, controlled study. SETTING Adult intensive care unit of a postgraduate teaching hospital. PATIENTS Ten patients undergoing surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass, and seven normal subjects. INTERVENTIONS Cardiopulmonary bypass in ten patients undergoing surgery. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Protein accumulation index was measured in patients after surgery and in normal subjects as a marker of increased pulmonary vascular permeability. Plasma markers of lipid peroxidation (lipid peroxides and thiobarbituric acid-reactivity), plasma chelatable iron, total non-heme iron, transferrin, and primary plasma proteinaceous antioxidant activities were measured before and after cardiopulmonary bypass, and compared with those values found in normal subjects. Protein accumulation index was significantly higher (1.79 +/- 0.54 [SEM]) in the postcardiopulmonary bypass patients compared with healthy subjects (0.33 +/- 0.07, p < .05). Concentrations of lipid peroxides precardiopulmonary bypass were similar to those concentrations in control patients (0.020 +/- 0.003 vs. 0.031 +/- 0.002 nmol/mg protein), but were significantly increased postcardiopulmonary bypass (0.114 +/- 0.010 nmol/mg protein, p < .01). Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances were higher precardiopulmonary bypass than those in controls (0.052 +/- 0.01 vs. 0.019 +/- 0.01), and increased postcardiopulmonary bypass (0.072 +/- 0.012), although they did not reach significance. Bleomycin-chelatable iron, indicative of transient plasma iron-overload, was only found in one patient (6.5 mumol/L) postcardiopulmonary bypass. Total plasma non-heme iron concentrations before cardiopulmonary bypass were similar to those concentrations in normal control patients (0.19 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.22 +/- 0.015 nmol/mg of protein), and significantly increased postcardiopulmonary bypass (0.48 +/- 0.08, p < .01). Transferrin concentrations were lower in cardiopulmonary bypass patients (2.43 +/- 0.17 vs. 2.89 +/- 0.03 g/L) than in controls and significantly decreased postcardiopulmonary bypass (1.55 +/- 0.09 g/L, p < .01). High plasma iron concentrations with a lower level of transferrin, postcardiopulmonary bypass, gave significantly increased mean percentage iron-saturation of transferrin, increasing from 27.1% to 61.7% (p < .01). Proteinaceous primary antioxidant activities, measuring iron-binding and iron-oxidizing protection of peroxidizing lipid membranes, were both significantly decreased postcardiopulmonary bypass (83.7 +/- 3.71% pre and 26.6 +/- 8.42% post, p < .01, and 51.2 +/- 2.96% pre and 29.0 +/- 2.94% post, p < .01, respectively). In 90% of the cardiopulmonary bypass patients, there was a significant correlation between the percent increase in iron saturation of transferrin and the protein accumulation index. CONCLUSIONS Pulmonary vascular permeability was significantly increased in patients postcardiopulmonary bypass compared with normal subjects. This patient population also had significantly increased plasma markers of lipid peroxidation compared with normal subjects. Cardiopulmonary bypass induced further increases in lipid peroxidation products but a substantial decrease in proteinaceous primary antioxidants. In the majority of patients, there was a significant correlation between the iron saturation of transferrin and the protein accumulation index.

Abstract
The present study was done to assess the effectiveness of a zinc-supplemented cardioplegic solution in an in vitro model of hypothermic arrest. Isolated hearts were perfused in the nonworking mode. All hearts were subjected to 2 hours of hypothermic arrest, at 10 degrees C, followed by 60 minutes of recovery. In protocol 1, arrest was initiated with infusion of cardioplegic solution with or without 30 mumol/l zinc for 5 minutes, which was then reinfused for 5 minutes every 15 minutes during arrest. In protocol 2, arrest was initiated with infusion of cardioplegic solution with or without 40 mumol/L zinc for 10 minutes. Cardioplegic solution (without zinc) was then reinfused for 5 minutes before the hearts were rewarmed. In protocol 1 hearts, peak postischemic left ventricular developed systolic pressure was 106 +/- 5 mm Hg and 80 +/- 3 mm Hg in zinc-treated versus control hearts, respectively (p < 0.05 by repeated-measures analysis of variance). In protocol 2 hearts, recovery of postischemic left ventricular developed systolic pressure peaked at 74 +/- 4 mm Hg and 46 +/- 8 mm Hg in zinc-treated and control hearts, respectively (p 0.05, repeated-measures analysis of variance). Similar effects were observed for the left ventricular rate of relaxation (p < 0.05, repeated-measures analysis of variance). Except for some minor effects, lactate dehydrogenase release was not affected by zinc supplementation. The present study demonstrates that zinc supplementation further enhances the normally observed preservation of postarrest cardiac function and suggests possible clinical utility for this metal as an additive to standard crystalloid cardioplegic solutions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary bypass and crossclamping of the ascending aorta introduce two well-characterized phases of oxidative stress, namely, the extracorporeal circulation of blood and the reoxygenation of ischemic tissue. A feature of both forms of stress is the release of reactive and damaging oxygen species. METHODS Forty-seven patients undergoing aortic valve replacement received either cold crystalloid, cold blood, or warm blood cardioplegia. Plasma thiol levels were measured in all groups before and during bypass. All cardiopulmonary bypass patients had, before going onto bypass, low plasma thiol levels (3.80 +/- 0.22 nmol/mg protein) compared with normal healthy controls (5.48 +/- 0.14 nmol/mg protein). RESULTS Thiol values remained low throughout bypass in patients receiving cold crystalloid cardioplegia, but rose in patients receiving cold blood cardioplegia, and rose even more in patients receiving warm blood cardioplegia to reach normal plasma values. During cardiopulmonary bypass it has previously been reported that plasma transferrin can become fully saturated with iron and cause transient iron overload. Two patients (13%) receiving cold crystalloid cardioplegia went into plasma iron overload, whereas 18% receiving cold blood and 27% receiving warm blood cardioplegia showed plasma iron overload. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that blood cardioplegia provides an additional source of thiols as well as a source of reactive iron. However, the reactive iron and thiol-containing molecules have the potential to interact and exacerbate oxidative stress, already a feature of bypass. Control of reactive iron by chelation may be strongly indicated when blood cardioplegia is used.

Abstract
The concentration-dependent effects of copper acting either as an antioxidant or as a prooxidant were examined in vitro using Tween 20-induced hemolysis. When cupric ion concentration was more than 10 microM, free copper(II) acted as a prooxidant; both extensive hemolysis and production of unknown thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance occurred in hamster and pig erythrocytes irrespective of vitamin E status. However, when cupric ion concentration was 2-4 microM in the incubation medium, copper showed a clear antioxidant activity, reducing both hemolysis and malondialdehyde production induced either by diluted peroxide-containing Tween 20 with ascorbic acid and sodium azide in vitamin E-deficient hamster erythrocytes, or by peroxide-containing Tween 20 in pig erythrocytes containing marginal amounts of vitamin E. Copper(II) is taken up by the erythrocytes, where copper(I)-complexes may contribute to the protection of cells with membrane vitamin E against oxidative radical attack.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass patients undergoing heart valve replacement surgery appear to be under oxidative stress, when compared with normal healthy controls, by showing increased levels of protein and lipid damage. During bypass surgery two further episodes of oxidative stress occur. The first is seen when patients are placed on extracorporeal blood circulation and oxygenation which results in a rise in lipid peroxides and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances. The second phase of oxidative stress occurs during reperfusion of the myocardium following removal of the aortic cross clamp. Coincident with evidence of increased oxidative damage to lipids during these latter phases of oxidative stress were decreases in plasma iron-binding and iron-oxidising antioxidant activities.

Abstract
Extracorporeal circulation of blood during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery exposes cells to non-physiological surfaces and shear stress which can activate several regulatory cascades, and neutrophils to release superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. Shear stresses generated by pumps and suction systems cause lysis of red blood cells and the release of haemoglobin. Together the release of reactive forms of oxygen and haemoglobin can lead to the appearance of low molecular mass chelatable iron (bleomycin-detectable iron). All patients undergoing open heart surgery appear to release iron to plasma transferrin, increasing its iron saturation. In 13% of patients, however, the transferrin became fully iron-saturated, and by the end of open-heart surgery we could detect bleomycin-chelatable iron in the plasma. Saturation of transferrin with iron eliminates its iron-binding antioxidant properties, which can result in a stimulation of iron-dependent radical damage to selected detector molecules.
