Remote ischemic preconditioning and cognitive dysfunction following coronary artery bypass grafting: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Saudi J Anaesth 2024; 18:187-193. [PMID: 38654856 PMCID: PMC11033882 DOI: 10.4103/sja.sja_751_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common neurological issue following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-assisted heart surgery. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) increases the tolerance of vital organs to ischemia/reperfusion injury, leading to reduced brain injury biomarkers and improved cognitive control. However, the exact mechanisms underlying RIPC's neuroprotective effects remain unclear. This systematic review aimed to explore the hypothesis that RIPC lowers neurocognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing CPB surgery. Method All relevant studies were searched in PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, Scopus, and Cochrane Library database. Assessment of study quality was carried out by two independent reviewers individually using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB-2) tool. Meta-analysis was performed using a fixed-effect model due to low heterogeneity among studies, except for those with substantial heterogeneity. Results A total of five studies with 1,843 participants were included in the meta-analysis. RIPC was not associated with reduced incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (five RCTs, odds ratio [OR:] 0.79, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.56-1.11) nor its improvement (three RCTs, OR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.50-1.27). In addition, the analysis of the effect of RIPC on specific cognitive function tests found that pooled SMD for RAVLT 1-3 and RAVLT LT were -0.07 (95% CI: -0.25,012) and -0.04 (95% CI: -0.25-0.12), respectively, and for VFT semantic and phonetic were -0.15 (95% CI: -0.33-0.04) and 0.11 (95% CI: -0.40-0.62), respectively. Conclusion The effect of RIPC on cognitive performance in CABG patients remained insignificant. Results from previous studies were unable to justify the use of RIPC as a neuroprotective agent in CABG patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is proven to have neuroprotective protective effects. Nevertheless, the impact of RIPC on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in patients undergoing general anesthesia is controversial. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to assess the effect of RIPC on POCD in adults after general anesthesia. METHODS Relevant literature was obtained by searching Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases in July 2022. RCTs were included to assess the influences of RIPC on POCD in adults following general anesthesia. Two investigators independently performed literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The incidence of POCD, operation time, and hospital stay were analyzed by Review manager5.4 software. RESULTS Thirteen RCTs with 1122 participants were selected for this meta-analysis. Compared to the control group, RIPC decreased the incidence of POCD (OR = 0.50, 95% CI 0.31-0.82), as well as reduced the duration of hospitalization (MD = - 0.98, 95% CI - 1.69 to - 0.27), but did not prolong operative time (MD = - 2.65, 95% CI - 7.68 to 2.37). CONCLUSION RIPC reduced the incidence of POCD in adult patients after general anesthesia and accelerated their discharge.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease is a prevalent ischemic disease that results in insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle due to narrowing or occlusion of the coronary arteries. Various reperfusion strategies, including pharmacological thrombolysis and percutaneous coronary intervention, have been developed to enhance blood flow restoration. However, these interventions can lead to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI), which can cause unpredictable complications. Recent research has highlighted a compelling association between MI/RI and cognitive function, revealing pathophysiological mechanisms that may explain altered brain cognition. Manifestations in the brain following MI/RI exhibit pathological features resembling those observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD), implying a potential link between MI/RI and the development of AD. The pro-inflammatory state following MI/RI may induce neuroinflammation via systemic inflammation, while impaired cardiac function can result in cerebral under-perfusion. This review delves into the role of extracellular vesicles in transporting deleterious substances from the heart to the brain during conditions of MI/RI, potentially contributing to impaired cognition. Addressing the cognitive consequence of MI/RI, the review also emphasizes potential neuroprotective interventions and pharmacological treatments within the MI/RI model. In conclusion, the review underscores the significant impact of MI/RI on cognitive function, summarizes potential mechanisms of cardio-cerebral communication in the context of MI/RI, and offers ideas and insights for the prevention and treatment of cognitive dysfunction following MI/RI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND More than 1 million individuals undergo cardiothoracic surgery for coronary artery bypass graft or valve repair/replacement annually in the United States. There is an increased risk of developing serious cognitive impairment post cardiothoracic surgery. Pharmacological interventions and surgical techniques were associated with improvements in cognitive function in previous systematic reviews. However, a gap in the literature exists regarding how nonpharmacological interventions can mitigate cognitive impairment in adults undergoing cardiac surgery. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of nonpharmacological interventions to reduce the detrimental effects of cardiac surgery on cognitive function in patients after cardiothoracic surgery. METHODS CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases were searched following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines from January 2011 to February 2022. RESULTS Nineteen studies were included in this review. Researchers defined cognitive impairment differently across studies. Various interventions were used to reduce cognitive impairment post cardiothoracic surgery, with the most common being remote ischemic limb conditioning. The interventions used to reduce cognitive impairment were heterogeneous in outcomes, measurements, and time of assessment, but only 2 interventions were associated with a reduction in cognitive impairment. CONCLUSIONS This review is a unique synthesis of the quality of interventions that address broader components of cognition. Researchers used various interventions to reduce cognitive impairment; the outcomes, instruments, and time interval for measurements were heterogeneous. Researchers should conduct future studies at multiple time intervals, using a comprehensive measure of cognitive impairment to better understand the impact of cognitive impairment interventions postoperatively.

Abstract
Background: Similar to remote ischemic preconditioning bouts of exercise may possess immediate protective effects against ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. This study compared the impact of single and repeated handgrip exercise versus remote ischemic preconditioning on inflammatory biomarkers in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD). Methods: In this crossover study, 14 patients with cSVD were included. All participants performed 4-day of handgrip exercise (4x5-minutes at 30% of maximal handgrip strength) and remote ischemic preconditioning (rIPC; 4x5-minutes cuff occlusion around the upper arm) twice daily. Patients were randomized to start with either handgrip exercise or rIPC and the two interventions were separated by > 9 days. Venous blood was drawn before and after one intervention, and after 4-day of repeated exposure. We performed a targeted proteomics on inflammation markers in all blood samples. Results: Targeted proteomics revealed significant changes in 9 out of 92 inflammatory proteins, with four proteins demonstrating comparable time-dependent effects between handgrip and rIPC. After adjustment for multiple testing we found significant decreases in FMS-related tyrosine kinase-3 ligand (Flt3L; 16.2% reduction; adjusted p-value: 0.029) and fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21; 32.8% reduction adjusted p-value: 0.029) after single exposure. This effect did not differ between handgrip and rIPC. The decline in Flt3L after repeated handgrip and rIPC remained significant (adjusted p-value = 0.029), with no difference between rIPC and handgrip (adjusted p-value = 0.98). Conclusion: Single handgrip exercise and rIPC immediately attenuated plasma Flt3L and FGF-21, with the reduction of Flt3L remaining present after 4-day of repeated intervention, in people with cSVD. This suggests that single and repeated handgrip exercise and rIPC decrease comparable inflammatory biomarkers, which suggests activation of shared (anti-)inflammatory pathways following both stimuli. Additional studies will be needed to exclude the possibility that this activation is merely a time effect.

Abstract
The aging process leads to subtle decline in cognitive function, and in some overt dementia. Like physical activity Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) may ameliorate these changes on cognitive impairment in humans. The purpose of this study was to compared the effects of single, repeated short-term and long-term treatment RIC, and analyze its effect registered as immediate vs. long-term on cognitive performance in humans. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and was registered with PROSPERO, number (CRD42021285668). A systematic review was conducted to identify relevant studies through six healthcare science databases (Cochrane, PubMed, EMBASE, EBSCO, Scopus, and Web of Science) up to December 2021. Eligibility criteria included (1) a study sample of participants aged ≥18 years, (2) post-intervention changes on cognitive performance in humans, and (3) this systematic review included only randomized controlled trials of RIC in humans. The quality of the included studies was assessed by GRADEpro tool. A total of 118 articles were initially identified, 35 of which met the inclusion criteria. Based on title/abstract, age and RIC protocol, 14 articles were included in this review: 5 studies investigated the immediate and long-term effect of a single RIC (n = 370 patients), 4 studies examined intermittent short-term RIC (n = 174 patients) and 5 studies evaluated repeated long-term RIC (n = 228 patients). A single pre-operative RIC treatment had an immediate effect that disappeared at one week. Short-term RIC showed either a positive or no effects on cognitive function. The majority of studies examining long-term RIC treatment showed improvements in cognitive performance, particularly in very old adults and older patients with cognitive impairments. Single RIC treatment did not show any persisting effect on cognition. However, repeated short term RIC showed some improvement and long-term RIC may improve cognitive performance after stroke or enhance neuropsychological tests in patients diagnosed with vascular dementia. The mixed results might be explained by different RIC treatment protocols and populations investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acutely occurring organ damage significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality in the perioperative context. OBJECTIVE This article highlights new clinical perspectives on how perioperative organ damage can be prevented and ameliorated by influencing the high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) signaling. MATERIAL AND METHODS A MEDLINE search was performed in the fields of clinical and basic research. The presentation of basic mechanisms of perioperative organ damage and the discussion of the importance of HMGB1 in prevention and treatment by pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceutical interventions are the focus of the review. RESULTS The HMGB1 is a central element in the pathogenesis of septic and aseptic inflammation-induced organ damage. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) and dexmedetomidine are highly effective approaches to mitigate or prevent organ damage. CONCLUSION The RIPC and dexmedetomidine offer protective properties in ischemia-reperfusion injury as well as in inflammation-related organ damage, which are mediated by HMGB1, among others. This effectively protects the kidneys, heart, lungs, liver and brain. The application of these concepts should be considered in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
It is suggested that remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) may be a promising treatment for improving healthy adults’ cognitive control. However, direct empirical evidence was absent. Therefore, this study aims to provide evidence for the impact of RIPC on cognitive control. Sixty healthy young male volunteers were recruited, and 30 of them received 1-week RIPC treatment (RIPC group), while the rest did not receive RIPC (control group). Their cognitive control before and after RIPC treatment was evaluated using the classic Stroop task, and the scalp electricity activity was recorded by event-related potentials (ERPs). The behavioral results showed a conventional Stroop interference effect of both reaction times (RTs) and the accuracy rate (ACC), but the Stroop interference effect of RTs significantly decreased in the posttest compared to the pretest. Furthermore, at the electrophysiological level, ERP data showed that N450 and SP for incongruent trials were larger than that for congruent trials. Importantly, the SP differential amplitude increased after RIPC treatment, whereas there was no significant change in the control group. These results implied that RIPC treatment could improve cognitive control, especially conflict resolving in the Stroop task.

Cardioprotective Properties of Humoral Factors Released after Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in CABG Patients with Propofol-Free Anesthesia-A Translational Approach from Bedside to Bench. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11051450.

Abstract
The cardioprotective effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is well detectable in experimental studies but not in clinical trials. Propofol, a commonly used sedative, is discussed to negatively influence the release of humoral factors after RIPC. Further, results from experimental and clinical trials suggest various comorbidities interact with inducible cardioprotective properties of RIPC. In the present study, we went back from bedside to bench to investigate, in male patients undergoing CABG surgery, whether (1) humoral factors are released after RIPC during propofol-free anesthesia and/or (2) DM interacts with plasma factor release. Blood samples were taken from male patients with and without DM undergoing CABG surgery before (control) and after RIPC (RIPC). To investigate the release of cardioprotective humoral factors into the plasma, isolated perfused hearts of young rats (n = 5 per group) were used as a bioassay. The hearts were perfused with patients’ plasma without (Con) and with RIPC (RIPC) for 10 min (1% of coronary flow) before global ischemia and reperfusion. In additional groups, the plasma of patients with DM was administered (Con DM, RIPC DM). Infarct size was determined by TTC staining. Propofol-free RIPC plasma of male patients without DM showed an infarct size of 59 ± 5% compared to 61 ± 13% with Con plasma (p = 0.973). Infarct sizes from patients with DM showed similar results (RIPC DM: 55 ± 3% vs. Con DM: 56 ± 4%; p = 0.995). The release of humoral factors into the blood after RIPC in patients receiving propofol-free anesthesia undergoing CABG surgery did not show any cardioprotective properties independent of a pre-existing diabetes mellitus.

Influences of remote ischemic preconditioning on postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction in adults after cardiac surgery: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Perioper Med (Lond) 2021; 10:50. [PMID: 34886892 PMCID: PMC8662864 DOI: 10.1186/s13741-021-00216-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been suggested to confer neuroprotective effect. However, influences of RIPC on postoperative delirium (POD) and cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in adults after cardiac surgery are less known. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the effects of RIPC on POD and POCD. Methods Relevant studies were obtained by search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane’s Library databases. A random-effect model was used to pool the results. Results Ten RCTs including 2303 adults who received cardiac surgery were included. Pooled results showed that RIPC did not significantly affect the incidence of POD (six RCTs, odds ratio [OR] 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.81 to 1.40, P = 0.65) with no significant heterogeneity (I2 = 0%). In addition, combined results showed that RIPC did not significantly reduce the incidence of POCD either (six RCTs, OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.37 to 1.11, P = 0.11) with moderate heterogeneity (I2 = 44%). Sensitivity analysis by excluding one RCT at a time showed consistent results (P values all > 0.05). Conclusions Current evidence from RCTs did not support that RIPC could prevent the incidence of POD or POCD in adults after cardiac surgery. Although these findings may be validated in large-scale RCTs, particularly for the results of POCD, based on these findings, RIPC should not be routinely used as a preventative measure for POD and POCD in adult patients after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Results from previous studies evaluating the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery are inconsistent. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aims to determine whether RIPC improves cardiac and renal outcomes in adults undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were comprehensively searched to identify RCTs comparing RIPC with control in cardiac surgery. The coprimary outcomes were the incidence of postoperative myocardial infarction (MI) and the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). Meta-analyses were performed using a random-effect model. Subgroup analyses were conducted according to volatile only anesthesia versus propofol anesthesia with or without volatiles, high-risk patients versus non-high-risk patients, and Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) or Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria versus other criteria for AKI diagnosis. RESULTS A total of 79 RCTs with 10,814 patients were included. While the incidence of postoperative MI did not differ between the RIPC and control groups (8.2% vs 9.7%; risk ratio [RR] = 0.87, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.76-1.01, P = .07, I2 = 0%), RIPC significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative AKI (22% vs 24.4%; RR = 0.86, 95% CI, 0.77-0.97, P = .01, I2 = 34%). The subgroup analyses showed that RIPC was associated with a reduced incidence of MI in non-high-risk patients, and that RIPC was associated with a reduced incidence of AKI in volatile only anesthesia, in non-high-risk patients, and in the studies using AKIN or KDIGO criteria for AKI diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis demonstrates that RIPC reduces the incidence of AKI after cardiac surgery. This renoprotective effect of RIPC is mainly evident during volatile only anesthesia, in non-high-risk patients, and when AKIN or KDIGO criteria used for AKI diagnosis.

Influence of Hyperglycemia and Diabetes on Cardioprotection by Humoral Factors Released after Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC). Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22168880. [PMID: 34445586 PMCID: PMC8396298 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22168880] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Revised: 08/11/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) protects hearts from ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in experimental studies; however, clinical RIPC trials were unsatisfactory. This discrepancy could be caused by a loss of cardioprotection due to comorbidities in patients, including diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperglycemia (HG). RIPC is discussed to confer protective properties by release of different humoral factors activating cardioprotective signaling cascades. Therefore, we investigated whether DM type 1 and/or HG (1) inhibit the release of humoral factors after RIPC and/or (2) block the cardioprotective effect directly at the myocardium. Experiments were performed on male Wistar rats. Animals in part 1 of the study were either healthy normoglycemic (NG), type 1 diabetic (DM1), or hyperglycemic (HG). RIPC was implemented by four cycles of 5 min bilateral hind-limb ischemia/reperfusion. Control (Con) animals were not treated. Blood plasma taken in vivo was further investigated in isolated rat hearts in vitro. Plasma from diseased animals (DM1 or HG) was administered onto healthy (NG) hearts for 10 min before 33 min of global ischemia and 60 min of reperfusion. Part 2 of the study was performed vice versa-plasma taken in vivo, with or without RIPC, from healthy rats was transferred to DM1 and HG hearts in vitro. Infarct size was determined by TTC staining. Part 1: RIPC plasma from NG (NG Con: 49 ± 8% vs. NG RIPC 29 ± 6%; p < 0.05) and DM1 animals (DM1 Con: 47 ± 7% vs. DM1 RIPC: 38 ± 7%; p < 0.05) reduced infarct size. Interestingly, transfer of HG plasma showed comparable infarct sizes independent of prior treatment (HG Con: 34 ± 9% vs. HG RIPC 35 ± 9%; ns). Part 2: No infarct size reduction was detectable when transferring RIPC plasma from healthy rats to DM1 (DM1 Con: 54 ± 13% vs. DM1 RIPC 53 ± 10%; ns) or HG hearts (HG Con: 60 ± 16% vs. HG RIPC 53 ± 14%; ns). These results suggest that: (1) RIPC under NG and DM1 induces the release of humoral factors with cardioprotective impact, (2) HG plasma might own cardioprotective properties, and (3) RIPC does not confer cardioprotection in DM1 and HG myocardium.

Abstract
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) remains the main cause of early mortality following heart transplantation despite several advances in donor preservation techniques and therapeutic strategies for PGD. With that aim of establishing the aetiopathogenesis of PGD and the preferred management strategies, the new consensus definition has paved the way for multiple contemporaneous studies to be undertaken and accurately compared. This review aims to provide a broad-based understanding of the pathophysiology, clinical presentation and management of PGD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To detect cerebrospinal fluid levels of amyloid beta- protein 42 (Aβ42) and neurofilament light protein (NFL) and explore their correlation with postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PNCD) in elderly patients. OBJECTIVE A total of 90 elderly patients undergoing hip or knee replacement with joint epidural anesthesia in our Hospital between January, 2017 and December, 2018 were recruited in this study. The levels of Aβ42 and NFL in the cerebrospinal fluid were detected using ELISA. Simple cognitive status assessment scale (MMSE) was used to evaluate the cognitive status of the patients 1 day before and 7 days after the surgery. All the patients underwent neurocognitive function tests, and the z-score method was used to determine the occurrence of PNCD. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of Aβ42 and NFL levels in the cerebrospinal fluid with MMSE scores. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the predictive value of cerebrospinal fluid Aβ42 and NFL levels for PNCD. OBJECTIVE PNCD occurred in 38 of the 90 elderly patients, with an incidence of 42.2%. The level of Aβ42 in the cerebrospinal fluid was significantly lower in PNCD group than in the nonPNCD group (1.96 vs 2.54 ng/mL; t=3.29, P < 0.05); the concentration of NFL in the cerebrospinal fluid was significantly higher in PNCD group than in non- PNCD group (4.59 vs 3.16 ng/mL; t=3.72, P < 0.05). Aβ42 level in the cerebrospinal fluid was positively correlated while NFL was negatively correlated with the MMSE score of the patients (r=-0.659, P < 0.05; r=-0.626, P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of cerebrospinal fluid Aβ42 and NFL levels were 0.744 and 0.768, respectively; the AUC of their combination was 0.847 for prediction of PNCD. OBJECTIVE Elderly patients with PNCD have significantly higher levels of Aβ42 and NFL in the cerebrospinal fluid than those without PNCD. Both Aβ42 and NFL levels in the cerebrospinal fluid can help to predict the occurrence of POCD in elderly patients, and their combination has a higher diagnostic value.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The use of 'extended criteria' donor hearts and reconditioned hearts from donation after circulatory death has corresponded with an increase in primary graft dysfunction, with ischaemia-reperfusion injury being a major contributing factor in its pathogenesis. Limiting ischaemia-reperfusion injury through optimising donor heart preservation may significantly improve outcomes. We sought to review the literature to evaluate the evidence for this. METHODS A review of the published literature was performed to assess the potential impact of organ preservation optimisation on cardiac transplantation outcomes. RESULTS Ischaemia-reperfusion injury is a major factor in myocardial injury during transplantation with multiple potential therapeutic targets. Innate survival pathways have been identified, which can be mimicked with pharmacological conditioning. Although incompletely understood, discoveries in this domain have yielded extremely encouraging results with one of the most exciting prospects being the synergistic effect of selected agents. Ex situ heart perfusion is an additional promising adjunct. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac transplantation presents a unique opportunity to perfuse the whole heart before, or immediately after, the onset of ischaemia, thus maximising the potential for global cardioprotection while limiting possible systemic side effects. While clinical translation in the setting of myocardial infarction has often been disappointing, cardiac transplantation may afford the opportunity for cardioprotection to finally deliver on its preclinical promise.

Abstract
Perioperative cardioprotection aims to minimize the consequences of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. In isolated tissue and animal experiments, several treatments have been identified providing cardioprotection. Some of these strategies have been confirmed in clinical proof-of-concept studies. However, the final translation of cardioprotective strategies to really improve clinical outcome has been disappointing: large randomized controlled clinical trials mostly revealed inconclusive, neutral, or negative results. This review provides an overview of the currently available evidence regarding clinical implications of perioperative cardioprotective therapies from an anesthesiological perspective, highlighting nonpharmacological as well as pharmacological strategies. We discuss reasons why translation of promising experimental results into clinical practice and outcome improvement is hampered by potential confounders and suggest future perspectives to overcome these limitations.

Abstract
Background In the previous randomized controlled trial by our research group, we evaluated the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in 130 patients (65 per arm) on acute kidney injury (AKI) within 7 days of open total aortic arch replacement. Significantly fewer RIPC-treated patients than sham-treated patients developed postoperative AKI, and, epically, RIPC significantly reduced serious AKI (stage II–III). However, the long-term effect of RIPC in patients undergoing open total aortic arch replacement is unclear. Methods This study was a post-hoc analysis. We aimed to assess the roles of RIPC in major adverse kidney events (MAKE), defined as consisting persistent renal dysfunction, renal replacement therapy and mortality, within 90 days after surgery in patients receiving open total aortic arch replacement. Results In this 90-day follow-up study, data were available for all study participants. We found that RIPC failed to improve the presence of MAKE within 90 days after surgery (RIPC: 7 of 65[10.8%]) vs sham: 15 of 65[23.1%]; P = 0.061). In those patients who developed AKI after surgery, we found that the rate of MAKE within 90 days after surgery differed between the RIPC group and the sham group (RIPC: 4 of 36[11.2%]; sham: 14 of 48[29.2%]; P = 0.046). Conclusions At 90 days after open total aortic arch replacement, we failed to find a difference between the renoprotective effects of RIPC and sham treatment. The effectiveness or ineffectiveness of RIPC should be further investigated in a large randomized sham-controlled trial. Trial registration This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Fuwai Hospital (No. 2016–835) and our previous study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov before patient enrollment (NCT03141385; principal investigator: G.W.; date of registration: March 5, 2017).

Influence of Hyperglycemia on Dexmedetomidine-Induced Cardioprotection in the Isolated Perfused Rat Heart. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9051445.

Abstract
Pharmacological preconditioning (PC) and postconditioning (PoC), for example, by treatment with the α2-adrenoreceptor agonist Dexmedetomidine (Dex), protects hearts from ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in experimental studies, however, translation into the clinical setting has been challenging. Acute hyperglycemia adversely affects the outcome of patients with myocardial infarction. Additionally, it also blocks cardioprotection by multiple pharmacological agents. Therefore, we investigated the possible influence of acute hyperglycemia on Dexmedetomidine-induced pre- and postconditioning. Experiments were performed on the hearts of male Wistar rats, which were randomized into 7 groups, placed in an isolated Langendorff system and perfused with Krebs-Henseleit buffer. All hearts underwent 33 min of global ischemia, followed by 60 min of reperfusion. Control (Con) hearts received Krebs-Henseleit buffer (Con KHB), glucose (Con HG) or mannitol (Con NG) as vehicle only. Hearts exposed to hyperglycemia (HG) received KHB, containing 11 mmol/L glucose (an elevated, but commonly used glucose concentration for Langendorff perfused hearts) resulting in a total concentration of 22 mmol/L glucose throughout the whole experiment. To ensure comparable osmolarity with HG conditions, normoglycemic (NG) hearts received mannitol in addition to KHB. Hearts were treated with 3 nM Dexmedetomidine (Dex) before (DexPC) or after ischemia (DexPoC), under hyperglycemic or normoglycemic conditions. Infarct size was determined by triphenyltetrazoliumchloride staining. Acute hyperglycemia had no impact on infarct size compared to the control group with KHB (Con HG: 56 ± 9% ns vs. Con KHB: 56 ± 7%). DexPC reduced infarct size despite elevated glucose levels (DexPC HG: 35 ± 3%, p < 0.05 vs. Con HG). However, treatment with Dex during reperfusion showed no infarct size reduction under hyperglycemic conditions (DexPoC HG: 57 ± 9%, ns vs. Con HG). In contrast, hearts treated with mannitol demonstrated a significant decrease in infarct size compared to the control group (Con NG: 37 ± 3%, p < 0.05 vs. Con KHB). The combination of Dex and mannitol presents exactly opposite results to hearts treated with hyperglycemia. While DexPC completely abrogates infarct reduction through mannitol treatment (DexPC NG: 55 ± 7%, p < 0.05 vs. Con NG), DexPoC had no impact on mannitol-induced infarct size reduction (DexPoC NG: 38 ± 4%, ns vs. Con NG). Acute hyperglycemia inhibits DexPoC, while it has no impact on DexPC. Treatment with mannitol induces cardioprotection. Application of Dex during reperfusion does not influence mannitol-induced infarct size reduction, however, administering Dex before ischemia interferes with mannitol-induced cardioprotection.

Abstract
Despite improvements in surgical techniques and perioperative care, cardiac surgery still is burdened by relatively high mortality and frequent major postoperative complications, including myocardial dysfunction, pulmonary complications, neurologic injury, and acute kidney injury. Although the surgeon's skills and volume and patient- and procedure-related risk factors play a major role in the success of cardiac surgery, there is growing evidence that also optimizing perioperative care may improve outcomes significantly. The present review focuses on the aspects of perioperative care that are strictly related to the anesthesia regimen, with special reference to volatile anesthetics and neuraxial anesthesia, whose effect on outcome in adult cardiac surgery has been investigated extensively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury is a common complication after open total aortic arch replacement but lacks effective preventive strategies. Remote ischemic preconditioning has controversial results of its benefit to the kidney and may perform better in high-risk patients of acute kidney injury. We investigated whether remote ischemic preconditioning would prevent postoperative acute kidney injury after open total aortic arch replacement. METHODS We enrolled 130 patients scheduled for open total aortic arch replacement and randomized them to receive either remote ischemic preconditioning (4 cycles of 5-minute right upper limb ischemia and 5-minute reperfusion) or sham preconditioning (4 cycles of 5-minute right upper limb pseudo ischemia and 5-minute reperfusion), both via blood pressure cuff inflation and deflation. The primary end point was the incidence of acute kidney injury within 7 days after the surgery defined by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Secondary end point included short-term clinical outcomes. RESULTS Significantly fewer patients developed postoperative acute kidney injury with remote ischemic preconditioning compared with sham (55.4% vs 73.8%; absolute risk reduction, 18.5%; 95% CI, 2.3%-34.6%; P = .028). Remote ischemic preconditioning significantly reduced acute kidney injury stage II-III (10.8% vs 35.4%; P = .001). Remote ischemic preconditioning shortened the mechanical ventilation duration (18 hours [interquartile range, 14-33] versus 25 hours [interquartile range, 17-48]; P = .01), whereas no significant differences were observed between groups in other secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Remote ischemic preconditioning prevented acute kidney injury after open total aortic arch replacement, especially severe acute kidney injury and shortened mechanical ventilation duration. The observed renoprotective effects of remote ischemic preconditioning require further investigation in both clinical research and the underlying mechanism.

Abstract
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) remains the leading cause of early mortality post-heart transplantation. Despite improvements in mechanical circulatory support and critical care measures, the rate of PGD remains significant. A recent consensus statement by the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) has formulated a definition for PGD. Five years on, we look at current concepts and future directions of PGD in the current era of transplantation.

Abstract
Background The cardioprotective effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in cardiovascular surgery is controversial. This study investigated whether RIPC combined with remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPostC) reduces myocardial injury to donor hearts in patients undergoing heart transplantation. Methods One hundred and twenty patients scheduled for orthotopic heart transplantation were enrolled and randomly assigned to an RIPC+RIPostC group (n = 60) or a control (n = 60) group. In the RIPC+RIPostC group, after anesthesia induction, four cycles of 5-min of ischemia and 5-min of reperfusion were applied to the right upper limb by a cuff inflated to 200 mmHg (RIPC) and 20 min after aortic declamping (RIPostC). Serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels were determined preoperatively and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after aortic declamping. Postoperative clinical outcomes were recorded. The primary endpoint was a comparison of serum cTnI levels at 6 h after aortic declamping. Results Compared with the preoperative baseline, in both groups, serum cTnI levels peaked at 6 h after aortic declamping. Compared with the control group, RIPC+RIPostC significantly reduced serum cTnI levels at 6 h after aortic declamping (38.87 ± 31.81 vs 69.30 ± 34.13 ng/ml, P = 0.02). There were no significant differences in in-hospital morbidity and mortality between the two groups. Conclusion In patients undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation, RIPC combined with RIPostC reduced myocardial injury at 6 h after aortic declamping, while we found no evidence of this function provided by RIPC+RIPostC could improve clinical outcomes. Trial registration Trial Registration Number: chictr.org.cn. no. ChiCTR-INR-16010234 (prospectively registered). The initial registration date was 9/1/2017.

Abstract
Trauma experienced during surgery can contribute to the development of a systemic inflammatory response that can cause multi-organ dysfunction or even failure. Post-surgical neuroinflammation is a documented phenomenon that results in synaptic impairment, neuronal dysfunction and death, and impaired neurogenesis. Various pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNFα, maintain a state of chronic neuroinflammation, manifesting as post-operative cognitive dysfunction and post-operative delirium. Furthermore, elderly patients with post-operative cognitive dysfunction or delirium are three times more likely to experience permanent cognitive impairment or dementia. We conducted a narrative review, considering evidence extracted from various databases including Pubmed, MEDLINE and EMBASE, as well as journals and book reference lists. We found that further pre-clinical and well-powered clinical studies are required to delineate the precise pathogenesis of post-operative delirium and cognitive dysfunction. Despite the burden of post-operative neurological sequelae, clinical studies investigating therapeutic agents, such as dexmedetomidine, ibuprofen and statins, have yielded conflicting results. In addition, evidence supporting novel therapeutic avenues, such as nicotinic and HMGB-1 targeting and remote ischaemic pre-conditioning, is limited and necessitates further investigation.

Abstract
Despite considerable advances in medicine, cardiovascular disease is still rising, with ischemic heart disease being the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Thus extensive efforts are continuing to establish effective therapeutic modalities that would improve both quality of life and survival in this patient population. Novel therapies are being investigated not only to protect the myocardium against ischemia-reperfusion injury but also to regenerate the heart. Stem cell therapy, such as potential use of human mesenchymal stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells and their exosomes, will make it possible not only to address molecular mechanisms of cardiac conditioning, but also to develop new therapies for ischemic heart disease. Despite the studies and progress made over the last 15 years on the use of stem cell therapy for cardiovascular disease, the efforts are still in their infancy. Even though the expectations have been high, the findings indicate that most of the clinical trials generally have been small and the results inconclusive. Because of many negative findings, there is certain pessimism that cardiac cell therapy is likely to yield any meaningful results over the next decade or so. Similar to other new technologies, early failures are not unusual and they may be followed by impressive success. Nevertheless, there has been considerable attention to safety by the clinical investigators because the adverse events of stem cell therapy have been impressively rare. In summary, although regenerative biology might not help the cardiovascular patient in the near term, it is destined to do so over the next several decades.
