Abstract
ABSTRACT Sepsis poses a health challenge globally owing to markedly high rates of morbidity and mortality. Despite employing bundle therapy over two decades, approaches including transient organ supportive therapy and clinical trials focusing on signaling pathways have failed in effectively reversing multiple organ failure in patients with sepsis. Prompt and appropriate perioperative management for surgical patients with concurrent sepsis is urgent. Consequently, innovative therapies focused on remedying organ injuries are necessitated. Cell therapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic avenue for repairing local damage to vital organs and restoring homeostasis during perioperative treatment for sepsis. Given the pivotal role of immune cell responses in the pathogenesis of sepsis, stem cell-based interventions that primarily modulate immune responses by interacting with multiple immune cells have progressed into clinical trials. The strides made in single-cell sequencing and gene-editing technologies have advanced the understanding of disease-specific immune responses in sepsis. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-immune cell therapy offers an intriguing option for the treatment of sepsis. This review provides a concise overview of immune cell therapy, its current status, and the strides made in the context of sepsis research, discussing potential strategies for the management of patients with sepsis during perioperative stages.

Abstract
Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a Gram-negative bacterium, commonly found as a commensal germ in the oral cavity of dogs and cats. It is an opportunistic pathogen, but, in specific situations, it can cause very severe diseases, including arthritis, pleuritis, endocarditis, sepsis, and, in extremely rare cases, meningoencephalitis. The predisposing situations include immunosuppression, liver cirrhosis, splenectomy, hemochromatosis, beta thalassemia major (Cooley's anemia), and alcohol abuse. In this report, we describe the case of a 48-year-old male patient, with a medical history of several predisposing conditions, who developed a severe case of meningoencephalitis caused by C. canimorsus, following a dog bite on his hand. The patient was successfully treated for his meningitis, but subsequently he developed a hospital-acquired septic shock from Acinetobacter baumannii, which was treated with targeted antibiotic therapy and sequential extracorporeal blood purification therapies using Oxiris™ and Toraymyxin™ hemofilters.

Systematic review with expert consensus on use of extracorporeal hemoadsorption in septic shock: An Indian perspective. World J Crit Care Med 2024; 13:89026. [PMID: 38633478 PMCID: PMC11019629 DOI: 10.5492/wjccm.v13.i1.89026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Septic shock is a severe form of sepsis characterised by deterioration in circulatory and cellular-metabolic parameters. Despite standard therapy, the outcomes are poor. Newer adjuvant therapy, such as CytoSorb® extracorporeal haemoadsorption device, has been investigated and shown promising outcome. However, there is a lack of some guidance to make clinical decisions on the use of CytoSorb® haemoadsorption as an adjuvant therapy in septic shock in Indian Setting. Therefore, this expert consensus was formulated. AIM To formulate/establish specific consensus statements on the use of CytoSorb® haemoadsorption treatment based on the best available evidence and contextualised to the Indian scenario. METHODS We performed a comprehensive literature on CytoSorb® haemoadsorption in sepsis, septic shock in PubMed selecting papers published between January 2011 and March 2023 2021 in English language. The statements for a consensus document were developed based on the summarised literature analysis and identification of knowledge gaps. Using a modified Delphi approach combining evidence appraisal and expert opinion, the following topics related to CytoSorb® in septic shock were addressed: need for adjuvant therapy, initiation timeline, need for Interleukin -6 levels, duration of therapy, change of adsorbers, safety, prerequisite condition, efficacy endpoints and management flowchart. Eleven expert members from critical care, emergency medicine, and the intensive care participated and voted on nine statements and one open-ended question. RESULTS Eleven expert members from critical care, emergency medicine, and the intensive care participated and voted on nine statements and one open-ended question. All 11 experts in the consensus group (100%) participated in the first, second and third round of voting. After three iterative voting rounds and adapting two statements, consensus was achieved on nine statements out of nine statements. The consensus expert panel also recognised the necessity to form an association or society that can keep a registry regarding the use of CytoSorb® for all indications in the open-ended question (Q10) focusing on "future recommendations for CytoSorb® therapy". CONCLUSION This Indian perspective consensus statement supports and provides guidance on the use of CytoSorb® haemoadsorption as an adjuvant treatment in patients with septic shock to achieve optimal outcomes.

Abstract
Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STTS) is a critical medical emergency marked by high morbidity and mortality, necessitating swift awareness, targeted treatment, and early source control due to its rapid symptom manifestation. This report focuses on a cohort of 13 patients admitted to Vall d'Hebron University Hospital Intensive Care Unit, Barcelona, from November 2022 to March 2023, exhibiting invasive Streptococcus pyogenes infections and meeting institutional sepsis code activation criteria. The primary infections were community-acquired pneumonia (61.5%) and skin/soft tissue infection (30.8%). All patients received prompt antibiotic treatment, with clinical source control through thoracic drainage (30.8%) or surgical means (23.1%). Organ support involved invasive mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, and continuous renal replacement therapy as per guidelines. Of note, 76.9% of patients experienced septic cardiomyopathy, and 53.8% required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The study identified three distinct phenotypic profiles-hyperinflammatory, low perfusion, and hypogammaglobulinemic-which could guide personalized therapeutic approaches. STTS, with a mean SOFA score of 17 (5.7) and a 53.8% requiring ECMO, underscores the need for precision medicine-based rescue therapies and sepsis phenotype identification. Integrating these strategies with prompt antibiotics and efficient source control offers a potential avenue to mitigate organ failure, enhancing patient survival and recovery in the face of this severe clinical condition.

Abstract
Sepsis and septic shock are associated with high mortality, with diagnosis and treatment remaining a challenge for clinicians. Their management classically encompasses hemodynamic resuscitation, antibiotic treatment, life support, and focus control; however, there are aspects that have changed. This narrative review highlights current and avant-garde methods of handling patients experiencing septic shock based on the experience of its authors and the best available evidence in a context of uncertainty. Following the first recommendation of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines, it is recommended that specific sepsis care performance improvement programs are implemented in hospitals, i.e., "Sepsis Code" programs, designed ad hoc, to achieve this goal. Regarding hemodynamics, the importance of perfusion and hemodynamic coherence stand out, which allow for the recognition of different phenotypes, determination of the ideal time for commencing vasopressor treatment, and the appropriate fluid therapy dosage. At present, this is not only important for the initial timing, but also for de-resuscitation, which involves the early weaning of support therapies, directed elimination of fluids, and fluid tolerance concept. Finally, regarding blood purification therapies, those aimed at eliminating endotoxins and cytokines are attractive in the early management of patients in septic shock.

Abstract
Sepsis is a serious organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated immune host reaction to a pathogen. The innate immunity is programmed to react immediately to conserved molecules, released by the pathogens (PAMPs), and the host (DAMPs). We aimed to review the molecular mechanisms of the early phases of sepsis, focusing on PAMPs, DAMPs, and their related pathways, to identify potential biomarkers. We included studies published in English and searched on PubMed® and Cochrane®. After a detailed discussion on the actual knowledge of PAMPs/DAMPs, we analyzed their role in the different organs affected by sepsis, trying to elucidate the molecular basis of some of the most-used prognostic scores for sepsis. Furthermore, we described a chronological trend for the release of PAMPs/DAMPs that may be useful to identify different subsets of septic patients, who may benefit from targeted therapies. These findings are preliminary since these pathways seem to be strongly influenced by the peculiar characteristics of different pathogens and host features. Due to these reasons, while initial findings are promising, additional studies are necessary to clarify the potential involvement of these molecular patterns in the natural evolution of sepsis and to facilitate their transition into the clinical setting.

Abstract
The time to administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics and (secondarily) to the initiation of hemodynamic stabilization are the most important factors influencing survival of patients with sepsis and septic shock; however, the basic prerequisite for the initiation of an adequate treatment is that a suspected diagnosis of sepsis is made first. Therefore, the treatment of sepsis, even before it has begun, is an interdisciplinary and interprofessional task. This article provides an overview of the current state of the art in sepsis treatment and points towards new evidence that has the potential to change guideline recommendations in the coming years. In summary, the following points are critical: (1) sepsis must be diagnosed as soon as possible and the implementation of a source control intervention (in case of a controllable source) has to be implemented as soon as (logistically) possible. (2) In general, intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics should be given within the first hour after diagnosis if sepsis or septic shock is suspected. In organ dysfunction without shock, where sepsis is a possible but unlikely cause, the results of focused advanced diagnostics should be awaited before a decision to give broad-spectrum antibiotics is made. If it is not clear within 3 h whether sepsis is the cause, broad-spectrum antibiotics should be given when in doubt. Administer beta-lactam antibiotics as a prolonged (or if therapeutic drug monitoring is available, continuous) infusion after an initial loading dose. (3) Combination treatment with two agents for one pathogen group should remain the exception (e.g. multidrug-resistant gram-negative pathogens). (4) In the case of doubt, the duration of anti-infective treatment should rather be shorter than longer. Procalcitonin can support the clinical decision to stop (not to start!) antibiotic treatment! (5) For fluid treatment, if hypoperfusion is present, the first (approximately) 2L (30 ml/kg BW) of crystalloid solution is usually safe and indicated. After that, the rule is: less is more! Any further fluid administration should be carefully weighed up with the help of dynamic parameters, the patient's clinical condition and echo(cardio)graphy.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) poses a common and formidable challenge in clinical practice, currently lacking efficacious therapeutic approaches. This study delves into the evaluation of (+)-afzelechin (AZC), a natural compound derived from Bergenia ligulata with a diverse array of properties, encompassing antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, and cardiovascular effects to ascertain its effectiveness and underlying mechanisms in mitigating sepsis-induced ALI through animal experimentation. An ALI mouse model induced by sepsis was established through lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, and various analytical techniques, including quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were employed to gauge inflammatory cytokine levels, lung injury, and associated signaling pathways. The animal experiments revealed that AZC offered safeguards against lung injury induced by LPS while reducing inflammatory cytokine levels in both blood serum and lung tissue. Western blotting experiments revealed AZC's downregulation of the toll-like receptor (TLR)4/NF-κB pathway and the upregulation of PI3K/Akt, coupled with inhibition of the Hippo and Rho signaling pathways. These findings underscore AZC's efficacy in ameliorating sepsis-induced ALI by modulating cytokine storms and curtailing inflammation via the regulation of TLR4/NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, Hippo, and Rho signaling pathways. This work serves as a foundation for additional exploration into AZC's mechanisms and its potential as a therapy for sepsis-induced ALI.

Removing excessively produced cytokines is of paramount significance in blood purification therapy for hypercytokinemia-associated diseases. In this study, we devised a conduit that is modified with nanobodies (Nb) and incorporates static mixers (Nb-SMC) to eliminate surplus cytokines from the bloodstream. The low-pressure-drop (LPD) static mixer, with each unit featuring two 90°-crossed blades, was strategically arranged in a tessellated pattern on the inner wall of the conduit to induce turbulent mixing effects during the flow of blood. This arrangement enhances mass transfer and molecular diffusion, thereby assisting in the identification and elimination of cytokines. By utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies, the Nb-SMC was rationally designed and prepared, ensuring an optimal interval between two mixer units (H/G = 2.5). The resulting Nb-SMC exhibited a remarkable selective clearance of IL-17A, reaching up to 85 %. Additionally, the process of Nb immobilization could be adjusted to achieve the simultaneous removal of multiple cytokines from the bloodstream. Notably, our Nb-SMC displayed good blood compatibility without potential adverse effects on the composition of human blood. As the sole documented static mixer-integrated conduit capable of selectively eliminating cytokines at their physiological concentrations, it holds promise in the clinical potential for hypercytokinemia in high-risk patients. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: High-efficient cytokines removal in critical care still remains a challenge. The conduit technique we proposed here is a brand-new strategy for cytokines removal in blood purification therapy. On the one hand, nanobody endows the conduit with specific recognition of cytokine, on the other hand, the build-in static mixer enhances the diffusion of antigenic cytokine to the ligand. The combination of these two has jointly achieved the efficient and specific removal of cytokine. This innovative material is the only reported artificial biomaterial capable of selectively eliminating multiple cytokines under conditions close to clinical practice. It has the potential to improve outcomes for patients with hypercytokinemia and reduce the risk of adverse events associated with current treatment modalities.

Hemoadsorption as Adjuvant Therapy in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Biomedicines 2023; 11:3068. [PMID: 38002070 PMCID: PMC10669540 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11113068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is often a consequence of a dysregulated immune response; therefore, immunomodulation by extracorporeal cytokine removal has been increasingly used as an adjuvant therapy, but convincing data are still missing. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of adjunctive hemoadsorption (HA) on clinical and laboratory outcomes in patients with ARDS. METHODS We performed a systematic literature search in PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, Scopus, and Web of Science (PROSPERO: CRD42022292176). The population was patients receiving HA therapy for ARDS. The primary outcome was the change in PaO2/FiO2 before and after HA therapy. Secondary outcomes included the before and after values for C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and norepinephrine (NE) doses. RESULTS We included 26 publications, with 243 patients (198 undergoing HA therapy and 45 controls). There was a significant improvement in PaO2/FiO2 ratio following HA therapy (MD = 68.93 [95%-CI: 28.79 to 109.06] mmHg, p = 0.005) and a reduction in CRP levels (MD = -45.02 [95%-CI: -82.64; -7.39] mg/dL, p = 0.026) and NE dose (MD = -0.24 [95%-CI: -0.44 to -0.04] μg/kg/min, p = 0.028). CONCLUSIONS Based on our findings, HA resulted in a significant improvement in oxygenation and a reduction in NE dose and CRP levels in patients treated with ARDS. Properly designed RCTs are still needed.

Abstract
During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, acute kidney injury (AKI) was a common sequela of COVID-19 infection and predicted disease severity and mortality. Extracorporeal blood purification techniques involving blood filtration devices are an emerging treatment for AKI in the setting of severe COVID-19 infections. In this review, we discuss potential mechanisms for the development of AKI in COVID-19 patients as well as the various available blood filtration devices and the role they may play in managing the AKI in COVID-19 patients. A total of seven blood filters currently available were compared based on their potential in treating AKI in COVID-19 patients. Blood filtration devices show potential as an emerging treatment modality for COVID-19-induced AKI, but further clinical trials are necessary before their widespread adoption and usage.

Abstract
Endotoxic shock (ExSh) and cecal ligature and puncture (CLP) are models that induce sepsis. In this work, we investigated early immunologic and histopathologic changes induced by ExSh or CLP models in female and male mice. Remarkable results showed that females supported twice the LD100 of LPS for males, CLP survival and CFU counts were similar between genders, high circulating LPS levels in ExSh mice and low levels of IgM anti-LPS in males. In the serum of ExSh males, TNF and IL-6 increased in the first 6 h, in CLP males at 12 h. In the liver of ExSh mice, TNF increased at 1.5 and 12 h, IL-1 at 6 h. TGFβ1 increased in females throughout the study and at 12 h in males. In CLP mice, IL-6 decreased at 12 h, TGFβ1 increased at 6-12 h in males and at 12 h in females. In the lungs of ExSh males, IL-1β increased at 1.5-6 h and TGFβ1 at 12 h; in females, TNF decrease at 6 h and TGFβ1 increased from 6 h; in CLP females, TNF and IL-1β decreased at 12 h and 1.5 h, respectively, and TGFβ1 increased from 6 h; in males, TGFβ1 increased at 12 h. In the livers of ExSh mice, signs of inflammation were more common in males; in the CLP groups, inflammation was similar but less pronounced. ExSh females had leucocytes with TGFβ1. The lungs of ExSh males showed patches of hyaline membranes and some areas of inflammatory cells, similar but fewer and smaller lesions were seen in male mice with CLP. In ExSh females, injuries were less extent than in males, similar pulmonary lesions were seen in female mice with CLP. ExSh males had lower levels of TGFβ1 than females, and even lower levels were seen in CLP males. We conclude that the ExSh was the most lethal model in males, associated with high levels of free LPS, low IgM anti-LPS, exacerbated inflammation and target organ injury, while females showed early TGFβ1 production in the lungs and less tissue damage. We didn't see any differences between CLP mice.

Abstract
Sepsis leads to organ dysfunction. Acute kidney injury, a common type of organ dysfunction, is associated with a high mortality rate in patients with sepsis. Kidney replacement therapy can correct the metabolic, electrolyte, and fluid imbalances caused by acute kidney injury. While this therapy can improve outcomes, evidence of its beneficial effects is lacking. Herein, we review the indications for blood purification therapy, including kidney replacement therapy, and the current knowledge regarding acute kidney injury in terms of renal and non-renal indications. While renal indications have been well-documented, indications for blood purification therapy in sepsis (non-renal indications) remain controversial. Excessive inflammation is an important factor in the development of sepsis; blood purification therapy has been shown to reduce inflammatory mediators and improve hemodynamic instability. Given the pathophysiology of sepsis, blood purification therapy may decrease mortality rates in these patients. Further trials are needed in order to establish the effectiveness of blood purification therapy for sepsis.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the inflammatory parameters and oxygenation in severe coronavirus disease-19 patients who underwent extracorporeal cytokine adsorption (CA). METHODS Patients who underwent extracorporeal CA for cytokine storm were included in the study. The changes in oxygenation, laboratory parameters, and mortality rates were investigated. RESULTS Thirty-six patients were included in the study. The hemoglobin, thrombocyte, and C-reactive protein (CRP) decreased, and PaO2 /FiO2 ratio increased (p < 0.001; p < 0.01; p < 0.001; p = 0.04, respectively). Twelve (33.3%) patients received a single session, 24 (66.6%) received 2 or more sessions. CRP and fibrinogen levels decreased, and PaO2 /FIO2 ratio increased in the single session group (p = 0.04; p = 0.04; p = 0.01, respectively). In the multi-session group, the hemoglobin, platelet, procalcitonin, and CRP levels decreased, and PaO2 /FIO2 ratio increased (p < 0.01; p = 0.02; p = 0.02; p < 0.01; p = 0.01, respectively). Day 15, 30, and 90 mortality rates were 61.1%, 83.3%, and 88.9%. CONCLUSION CA with hemoperfusion reduced CRP and improved oxygenation; however, mortality rates were high.

Abstract
Sepsis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury is a life-threatening condition leading to high morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Over the past decades, several extracorporeal blood purification therapies have been developed for both sepsis and sepsis-associated acute kidney injury management. Despite the widespread use of extracorporeal blood purification therapies in clinical practice, it is still unclear when to start this kind of treatment and how to define its efficacy. Indeed, several questions on sepsis-associated acute kidney injury and extracorporeal blood purification therapy still remain unresolved, including the indications and timing of renal replacement therapy in patients with septic vs. non-septic acute kidney injury, the optimal dialysis dose for renal replacement therapy modalities in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury patients, and the rationale for using extracorporeal blood purification therapies in septic patients without acute kidney injury. Moreover, the development of novel extracorporeal blood purification therapies, including those based on the use of adsorption devices, raised the attention of the scientific community both on the clearance of specific mediators released by microorganisms and by injured cells and potentially involved in the pathogenic mechanisms of organ dysfunction including sepsis-associated acute kidney injury, and on antibiotic removal. Based on these considerations, the joint commission of the Italian Society of Anesthesiology and Critical Care (SIAARTI) and the Italian Society of Nephrology (SIN) herein addressed some of these issues, proposed some recommendations for clinical practice and developed a common framework for future clinical research in this field.

Abstract
Extracorporeal cytokine adsorption aims to reduce cytokine levels in critically ill patients. However, little convincing data exist to support its widespread use. This retrospective study compared interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in patients treated with or without cytokine adsorber (CytoSorb®). Intensive care patients between Jan 2017 and Dec 2021 who had at least two IL-6 measurements were included. They were divided into an adsorber group and a standard of care group. We screened 3865 patients and included 52 patients in the adsorber group and 94 patients in the standard of care group. Matching was performed and the groups were compared regarding IL-6, lactate, CRP, procalcitonin, vasopressor requirement, and mortality rate. After matching, there were 21 patients in each group. Patients had similar age, ECMO and renal replacement therapy use, baseline noradrenaline requirement, serum lactate, pH, CRP, and IL-6 levels. There were no significant differences in the time course of IL-6, lactate, CRP, procalcitonin and noradrenaline requirement between groups. Two-day and ICU mortality and Kaplan-Meier estimated survival were also comparable. In this matched case-control study no difference in IL-6, inflammatory parameters, noradrenaline requirement or mortality was observed between patients treated with adsorber or standard of care.

Abstract
Cardiac surgery can provoke an acute cytokine storm that may contribute to the development of postoperative multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. We prospectively observed patients undergoing cardiac surgery and divided them into two groups: the severe group and the mild group. Healthy individuals were enrolled acting as the control group for comparison. Plasma samples and clinical data were recorded at the initiation of cardiac-pulmonary bypass (CPB) and 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after initiation of CPB. Cytokine levels were detected using the Luminex® technique. Thirty-nine adults were enrolled in this study (14 in the severe group, 15 in the mild group, and 10 in the control group). Cytokine concentrations were significantly higher in the severe group. Principal component analysis was used to establish a cytokine storm intensity curve, which represented the overall trend of 10 cytokines. The peak concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and IL-16 were 425.1, 198.5, and 623.0 pg/mL, which were more than 1,200, 1,800, and 240 times the normal level, respectively. The maximum cytokine storm intensity predated the maximum Vasoactive-Inotropic Score (VIS) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score in the severe group. Cytokine storm response to cardiac surgery occurred early and was associated with disease severity. Interventions to cytokine storm should be initiated early as guided by cytokine storm biomarkers such as IL-6, IL-10, and IL-16 in severe patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Clinical Trial Registration: ChiCTR1900021351.

Haemoadsorption Combined with Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy in Abdominal Sepsis: Case Report Series. J Pers Med 2023; 13:1113. [PMID: 37511726 PMCID: PMC10381379 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13071113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
In recent decades, multiple efforts have been made to identify targets and therapeutic measures in the host response to infection. Haemoadsorption, under the attractive theoretical premise of inflammatory response modulation through the adsorption of soluble inflammatory mediators, could have a place as an adjuvant therapy in septic patients. The development of new devices and the recent COVID-19 pandemic has renewed interest in this therapy. The aim of this report is to describe our experience in patients with abdominal sepsis for whom haemoadsorption with a neutral microporous resin column was added to conventional treatment and to describe its performance through patient cases in the absence of large randomised trials with this device. We present five patients with abdominal sepsis admitted to a Spanish intensive care unit in which haemoadsorption was used as adjuvant treatment. The key practical aspects of the treatment protocol have been used as a guide for conducting a multicentric study. Based on the experience gathered in these five cases, the potential benefit of haemoadsorption as adjuvant therapy in patients with abdominal sepsis with multiple organ failure after control of the source of infection and adequate treatment should be investigated. Likewise, it must be defined which patients can benefit from the therapy, the most appropriate biomarkers to guide the therapy, the ideal time of initiation and discontinuation, its potential side effects, and the interaction with other therapies, especially how such treatment affects the antibiotics levels.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To overcome the challenge of multidrug resistance, natural and synthetic peptides are candidates to become the basis of innovative therapeutics, featuring diverse mechanisms of action. Traditionally, the time elapsed from medical discoveries to their application is long. The urgency derived from the emergence of antibiotic resistance recommends an acceleration of research to put the new weapons in the hands of clinicians. AREAS COVERED This narrative review introduces ideas and suggestions of new strategies that may be used as a basis upon which to recommend reduced development times and to facilitate the arrival of new molecules in the fight against microbes. EXPERT OPINION Although studies on new innovative antimicrobial treatments are being conducted, sooner rather than later, more clinical trials, preclinical and translational research are needed to promote the development of innovative antimicrobial treatments for multidrug resistant infections. The situation is worrying, no less than that generated by pandemics such as the ones we have just experienced and conflicts such as world wars. Although from the point of view of human perception, resistance to antibiotics may not seem as serious as these other situations, it is possibly the hidden pandemic that most jeopardizes the future of medicine.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a frequent and challenging aspect of sepsis that currently lacks effective treatments. Procyanidin B2 (PB2) has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness and mechanism of action of PB2 in treating sepsis-induced ALI using animal experiments. A sepsis-induced ALI mouse model was used by administering lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and then evaluating the levels of inflammatory cytokines and lung injury through measurements of cytokine levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western blot and real-time PCR, as well as by the examination of relevant signaling pathways. The animal experiments showed that PB2 protected the lungs from injury caused by LPS and reduced the levels of various inflammatory cytokines in both the serum and lung tissue. Western blot analysis showed that PB2 reduced the expression of TLR4/NF-κB and increased the expression of PI3K/Akt, and also inhibited the Hippo and Rho signaling pathways. The results of the study showed that PB2 helps to treat sepsis-induced ALI by controlling cytokine storms and reducing inflammation by altering the expressions of the TLR4/NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, Hippo and Rho signaling pathways. This research provides a foundation for the further investigation of PB2's mechanism and its potential use in treating sepsis.

Extracorporeal blood purification strategies in sepsis and septic shock: An insight into recent advancements. World J Crit Care Med 2023; 12:71-88. [PMID: 37034019 PMCID: PMC10075046 DOI: 10.5492/wjccm.v12.i2.71] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite various therapies to treat sepsis, it is one of the leading causes of mortality in the intensive care unit patients globally. Knowledge about the pathophysiology of sepsis has sparked interest in extracorporeal therapies (ECT) which are intended to balance the dysregulation of the immune system by removing excessive levels of inflammatory mediators.
AIM To review recent data on the use of ECT in sepsis and to assess their effects on various inflammatory and clinical outcomes.
METHODS In this review, an extensive English literature search was conducted from the last two decades to identify the use of ECT in sepsis. A total of 68 articles from peer-reviewed and indexed journals were selected excluding publications with only abstracts.
RESULTS Results showed that ECT techniques such as high-volume hemofiltration, coupled plasma adsorption/filtration, resin or polymer adsorbers, and CytoSorb® are emerging as adjunct therapies to improve hemodynamic stability in sepsis. CytoSorb® has the most published data in regard to the use in the field of septic shock with reports on improved survival rates and lowered sequential organ failure assessment scores, lactate levels, total leucocyte count, platelet count, interleukin- IL-6, IL-10, and TNF levels.
CONCLUSION Clinical acceptance of ECT in sepsis and septic shock is currently still limited due to a lack of large random clinical trials. In addition to patient-tailored therapies, future research developments with therapies targeting the cellular level of the immune response are expected.

Abstract
Even in the absence of strong indications deriving from clinical studies, the removal of mediators is increasingly used in septic shock and in other clinical conditions characterized by a hyperinflammatory response. Despite the different underlying mechanisms of action, they are collectively indicated as blood purification techniques. Their main categories include blood- and plasma processing procedures, which can run in a stand-alone mode or, more commonly, in association with a renal replacement treatment. The different techniques and principles of function, the clinical evidence derived from multiple clinical investigations, and the possible side effects are reviewed and discussed along with the persisting uncertainties about their precise role in the therapeutic armamentarium of these syndromes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The acrylonitrile-co-methallyl sulfonate surface-treated (AN69ST) membrane has cytokine adsorption capacity and is used for treating sepsis. This study aimed to compare the effects of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) using the AN69ST membrane with those of CRRT using other membranes for patients with pneumonia-associated sepsis. METHODS This retrospective, propensity score-matched, cohort study was based on a nationwide Japanese inpatient database. We included data from adults hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of pneumonia, who received CRRT using either the AN69ST membrane or another membrane within 2 days of admission, and who were discharged from the hospitals between September 2014, and March 2017. Propensity score matching was used to compare in-hospital mortality between the two groups. RESULTS Eligible patients (N = 2393) were categorized into an AN69ST group (N = 631) and a non-AN69ST group (N = 1762). The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 38.9%. Among the 545 propensity-matched patient pairs, the in-hospital mortality rate was significantly lower in the AN69ST group than in the non-AN69ST group (35.8 vs. 41.8%, p = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS Among patients with pneumonia-associated sepsis treated with CRRT, CRRT with the AN69ST membrane was associated with a significantly lower in-hospital mortality than CRRT with standard membranes.

Abstract
Jujuboside B (JB) found in the seeds of Zizyphi Spinosi Semen possesses pharmacological functions, such as anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet aggregation, and antianxiety potentials. This study evaluated the effect of JB on liver failure in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis. First, we observed histopathological changes in the liver by optical microscopy and the activity of enzymes in serum such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). We further measured the levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, nitric oxide (NO), and antioxidative parameters in liver homogenate. The expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2), and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the liver was observed by Western blotting. CLP enhanced the migration of inflammatory cells, ALT and AST concentrations, and necrosis, which were reduced by JB. In addition, JB reduced 11β-HSD2 expression and levels of inflammatory mediators (TNF-α, IL-1β, and NO) in the liver, increased GR expression, enhanced endogenous antioxidative capacity. These results further suggest that JB may protect the liver against CLP-induced damage by regulating anti-inflammatory responses, downregulating 11β-HSD2 expression and antioxidation, and up-regulating GR expression.

Abstract
In late 2019, SARS-CoV-2 was detected in China and spread worldwide. In rare cases, children who were infected with COVID-19 may develop multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C), which could have higher mortality than COVID-19 itself. Therefore, diagnosis and management are critical for treatment. Specifically, most of the initial treatment options of MIS-C choose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and steroids as the first-line treatment for patients. Moreover, antagonists of some cytokines are used as potential future therapeutics. Of note, therapeutic plasmapheresis can be used as a treatment for refractory severe MIS-C. We believe that each patient, especially those with comorbid conditions, should have individualized treatment based on both multidisciplinary consensus approach and expert opinion.

Abstract
Sepsis and COVID-19 are two clinical conditions that can lead to a dysregulated inflammatory state causing multiorgan dysfunction, hypercytokinemia, and a high risk of death. Specific subgroups of critically ill patients with particular characteristics could benefit from rescue treatment with hemoadsorption. There is a lack of adequately designed randomized controlled trials evaluating the potential benefits of cytokine or endotoxin hemoadsorption. Critically ill COVID-19 patients with severe acute respiratory failure poorly responsive to conventional treatment could be candidates to receive cytokine hemoadsorption in the presence of high levels of interleukin 6. This treatment can also be suitable for patients with refractory septic shock and hypercytokinemia. In the context of high endotoxin activity, hemoadsorption with polymyxin B could improve clinical parameters and the prognosis of patients with refractory septic shock. Predictive enrichment, using biomarkers or other individual features, identifies potential responders to cytokine, endotoxin, or sequential hemoadsorption. Besides, recognizing the particular subsets of patients likely to respond to one or both types of hemoadsorption will aid the design of future studies that accurately validate the effectiveness of these therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Plasmapheresis and hemoperfusion are used against cytokine release syndrome in COVID-19. This study aims to compare their outcomes, costs, and side-effects. METHODS Survival, costs and side-effects were compared in intensive care unit (ICU) patients receiving plasmapheresis (n = 49), hemoperfusion (n = 20), or none (n = 107), followed until death or discharge. RESULTS Plasmapheresis survival time was higher than hemoperfusion or controls (HR = 0.764, p = 0.397 and HR = 0.483, p = 0.002, respectively), although the latter diminished after controlling for age and disease severity (p = 0.979). There was no significant difference in ICU costs for plasmapheresis and hemoperfusion (p = 0.738) while both costed more than controls (both p < 0.001). Hypocalcemia and thrombocytopenia incidence did not differ between two groups (p = 0.124 and p = 0.389, respectively) while being higher than controls in plasmapheresis (both p < 0.001) and hemoperfusion (p < 0.001 and p = 0.056, respectively). CONCLUSION Plasmapheresis and hemoperfusion do not differ significantly in patient survival, ICU costs and side-effects with a higher incidence of hypocalcemia and thrombocytopenia compared witcontrols.

Abstract
The aim of the current paper is to summarize the results of the International CytoSorb Registry. Data were collected on patients of the intensive care unit. The primary endpoint was actual in-hospital mortality compared to the mortality predicted by APACHE II score. The main secondary endpoints were SOFA scores, inflammatory biomarkers and overall evaluation of the general condition. 1434 patients were enrolled. Indications for hemoadsorption were sepsis/septic shock (N = 936); cardiac surgery perioperatively (N = 172); cardiac surgery postoperatively (N = 67) and "other" reasons (N = 259). APACHE-II-predicted mortality was 62.0±24.8%, whereas observed hospital mortality was 50.1%. Overall SOFA scores did not change but cardiovascular and pulmonary SOFA scores decreased by 0.4 [-0.5;-0.3] and -0.2 [-0.3;-0.2] points, respectively. Serum procalcitonin and C-reactive protein levels showed significant reduction: -15.4 [-19.6;-11.17] ng/mL; -17,52 [-70;44] mg/L, respectively. In the septic cohort PCT and IL-6 also showed significant reduction: -18.2 [-23.6;-12.8] ng/mL; -2.6 [-3.0;-2.2] pg/mL, respectively. Evaluation of the overall effect: minimal improvement (22%), much improvement (22%) and very much improvement (10%), no change observed (30%) and deterioration (4%). There was no significant difference in the primary outcome of mortality, but there were improvements in cardiovascular and pulmonary SOFA scores and a reduction in PCT, CRP and IL-6 levels. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02312024 (retrospectively registered).

Immunomodulation by Hemoadsorption—Changes in Hepatic Biotransformation Capacity in Sepsis and Septic Shock: A Prospective Study. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10102340. [PMID: 36289602 PMCID: PMC9598581 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10102340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Revised: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Sepsis is often associated with liver dysfunction, which is an indicator of poor outcomes. Specific diagnostic tools that detect hepatic dysfunction in its early stages are scarce. So far, the immune modulatory effects of hemoadsorption with CytoSorb® on liver function are unclear. Method: We assessed the hepatic function by using the dynamic LiMAx® test and biochemical parameters in 21 patients with sepsis or septic shock receiving CytoSorb® in a prospective, observational study. Points of measurement: T1: diagnosis of sepsis or septic shock; T2 and T3: 24 h and 48 h after the start of CytoSorb®; T4: 24 h after termination of CytoSorb®. Results: The hepatic biotransformation capacity measured by LiMAx® was severely impaired in up to 95 % of patients. Despite a rapid shock reversal under CytoSorb®, a significant improvement in LiMAx® values appeared from T3 to T4. This decline and recovery of liver function were not reflected by common parameters of hepatic metabolism that remained mostly within the normal range. Conclusions: Hepatic dysfunction can effectively and safely be diagnosed with LiMAx® in ventilated ICU patients under CytoSorb®. Various static liver parameters are of limited use since they do not adequately reflect hepatic dysfunction and impaired hepatic metabolism.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In patients with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the use of acrylonitrile hemofilters can reduce cytokine concentrations. However, acrylonitrile hemofilters can easily coagulate, and the effect of hemofilters on improvement in patient prognosis remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the changes in serum cytokine concentrations, alleviation of organ damage, and improvement in patient prognosis with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) using a cellulose triacetate (CTA) filter with excellent anticoagulation property in patients with severe COVID-19.
Methods
This was a retrospective, single-center study conducted by the Advanced Critical Care Center in Sapporo Medical University Hospital, Japan. Seven patients with severe COVID-19 between March 01 and June 30, 2020, were included. The patients were under mechanical ventilation and received continuous blood purification therapy with a CTA filter. We summarized the CRRT status and patient prognosis and measured their serum cytokine (interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interferon-γ) and serum marker levels, before and after CRRT. In addition, we evaluated the changes in their respiratory status, hemodynamics, and organ dysfunction scores. The average age of the patients was 61.5 years, and five patients were male. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was used in five patients. The treatment outcome included three deaths.
Results
The median CRRT duration was 7 days. The hemofilter was replaced once a day. After CRRT, the IL-6 concentration decreased from 393 to 85 pg/mL (p = 0.016), the Krebs von den Lungen-6 concentration decreased from 554 to 350 U/mL, and the PaO2/FiO2 ratio increased significantly from 90 to 248, and therefore, oxygenation improved. In addition, the norepinephrine dose and lactate level decreased, and the circulation tended to improve; however, the renal function and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score did not change.
Conclusions
The serum IL-6 level decreased, and the respiratory status improved upon CRRT using a CTA filter in patients with severe COVID-19.

Abstract
We discuss a single case of Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) due to NK-type non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Epstein-Barr virus reactivation with multiorgan dysfunction and distributive shock in which we performed cytokine hemoadsorption with Cytosorb ®. A full microbiological panel was carried out, including screening for imported disease, standard serologies and cultures for bacterial and fungal infection. A liver biopsy and bone marrow aspirate were performed, confirming the diagnosis. The patients fulfilled the HLH-2004 diagnostic criteria, and according to the 2018 Consensus Statements by the HLH Steering Committee of the Histiocyte Society, dexamethasone and etoposide were started. There was an associated hypercytokinemia and, due to refractory distributive shock, rescue therapy with cytokine hemoadsorption was performed during 24 h (within day 2 and 3 from ICU admission). After starting this procedure, rapid hemodynamic control was achieved with a significant reduction in vasopressor support requirements. This case report highlights that cytokine hemoadsorption can be an effective since rapid decrease in IL-10 levels and a significant hemodynamic improvement was achieved.

Single-Centre Retrospective Evaluation of Intraoperative Hemoadsorption in Left-Sided Acute Infective Endocarditis. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11143954. [PMID: 35887719 PMCID: PMC9317304 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11143954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Cardiac surgery in patients with infective endocarditis (IE) is still associated with high mortality and morbidity; an already present inflammation might further be aggravated due to a cardiopulmonary bypass-induced dysregulated immune response. Intraoperative hemoadsorption therapy may attenuate this septic response. Our objective was therefore to assess the efficacy of intraoperative hemoadsorption in active left-sided native- and prosthetic infective endocarditis. Methods: Consecutive high-risk patients with active left-sided infective endocarditis were enrolled between January 2015 and April 2021. Patients with intraoperative hemoadsorption (Cytosorbents, Princeton, NJ, USA) were compared to patients without hemoadsorption (control). Endpoints were the incidence of postoperative sepsis, sepsis-associated death and in-hospital mortality. Predictors for sepsis-associated mortality and in-hospital mortality were analysed by multivariable logistic regression. Results: A total of 202 patients were included, 135 with active left-sided native and 67 with prosthetic valve infective endocarditis. Ninety-nine patients received intraoperative hemoadsorption and 103 patients did not. Ninety-nine propensity-matched pairs were selected for final analyses. Postoperative sepsis and sepsis-related mortality was reduced in the hemoadsorption group (22.2% vs. 39.4%, p = 0.014 and 8.1% vs. 22.2%, p = 0.01, respectively). In-hospital mortality tended to be lower in the hemoadsorption group (14.1% vs. 26.3%, p = 0.052). Key predictors for sepsis-associated mortality and in-hospital mortality were preoperative inotropic support, lactate-levels 24 h after surgery, C-reactive protein levels on postoperative day 1, chest tube output, cumulative inotropes and white blood cell counts on postoperative day 2, and new onset of dialysis. Multivariate regression analysis revealed intraoperative hemoadsorption to be associated with lower sepsis-associated (OR 0.09, 95% CI 0.013–0.62, p = 0.014) as well as in-hospital mortality (OR 0.069, 95% CI 0.006–0.795, p = 0.032). Conclusions: Intraoperative hemoadsorption holds promise to reduce sepsis and sepsis-associated mortality after cardiac surgery for active left-sided native and prosthetic valve infective endocarditis.

Does the cytokine adsorber CytoSorb ® reduce vancomycin exposure in critically ill patients with sepsis or septic shock? a prospective observational study. Ann Intensive Care 2022; 12:44. [PMID: 35599248 PMCID: PMC9124739 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-022-01017-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 05/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemadsorption of cytokines is used in critically ill patients with sepsis or septic shock. Concerns have been raised that the cytokine adsorber CytoSorb® unintentionally adsorbs vancomycin. This study aimed to quantify vancomycin elimination by CytoSorb®. METHODS Critically ill patients with sepsis or septic shock receiving continuous renal replacement therapy and CytoSorb® treatment during a prospective observational study were included in the analysis. Vancomycin pharmacokinetics was characterized using population pharmacokinetic modeling. Adsorption of vancomycin by the CytoSorb® was investigated as linear or saturable process. The final model was used to derive dosing recommendations based on stochastic simulations. RESULTS 20 CytoSorb® treatments in 7 patients (160 serum samples/24 during CytoSorb®-treatment, all continuous infusion) were included in the study. A classical one-compartment model, including effluent flow rate of the continuous hemodialysis as linear covariate on clearance, best described the measured concentrations (without CytoSorb®). Significant adsorption with a linear decrease during CytoSorb® treatment was identified (p < 0.0001) and revealed a maximum increase in vancomycin clearance of 291% (initially after CytoSorb® installation) and a maximum adsorption capacity of 572 mg. For a representative patient of our cohort a reduction of the area under the curve (AUC) by 93 mg/L*24 h during CytoSorb® treatment was observed. The additional administration of 500 mg vancomycin over 2 h during CytoSorb® attenuated the effect and revealed a negligible reduction of the AUC by 4 mg/L*24 h. CONCLUSION We recommend the infusion of 500 mg vancomycin over 2 h during CytoSorb® treatment to avoid subtherapeutic concentrations. Trial registration NCT03985605. Registered 14 June 2019, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03985605.

Forni LG. Blood Purification Studies in the ICU: What Endpoints Should We Use? Blood Purif 2022; 51:990-996.

Abstract
The potential for treatment of the critically ill using blood purification techniques has been discussed for several decades. However, since the first attempts at applying extracorporeal techniques to patients with sepsis were described, there has been considerable hesitancy towards the widespread adoption of such methods, given the lack of mortality benefit observed and indeed the paucity of randomized controlled studies. However, this is not unique so far as studies on the critically ill are concerned where there is a dearth of studies providing a positive finding to influence clinical practice. Consequently, as well as targeted patient selection, it is perhaps time to consider endpoints other than mortality in studies on the critically ill, particularly in blood purification studies where, to-date, such heterogeneous groups of patients have been studied.

Abstract
А clinical case of septic shock treatment with new approved for clinical use hemoperfusion columns Efferon LPS of multi-purpose action, which are capable of removing LPS and cytokines from the blood, is presented. A 75-year-old patient 8 hours after surgery for widespread peritonitis, which developed due to obturation intestinal obstruction and rupture of the cecum, in a state of septic shock (SOFA 10, sympathomimetic support with norepinephrine 0.56 μg/kg per minute) underwent in addition to the treatment 2 sessions of hemoperfusion (120 minutes each) with an interval of two days. The next day after the first session of hemoperfusion, blood pressure returned to normal. Over the next 5 days, impaired organ functions gradually recovered (SOFA dynamics from 10 to 1 point) and the level of procalcitonin in the blood decreased from 98 to 5 ng/ml. A decrease in the concentration of IL-6 in the blood was noted: from 1686 to 1388 pg/ml after the first session, from 692 to 411 pg/ml after the second and up to 350 pg/ml on the following days. The content of CD14+ blood monocytes also decreased: from 0.13·109/l to 0.03·109/l after the first session and from 0.30·109/l to 0.18·109/l after the second. The patient was in intensive care for 8 days and was discharged from the hospital after 24 days. The use of hemoperfusion column for the adsorption of cytokines and LPS in an extremely severe patient with septic shock was safe. One of the effects of using the column was the removal of LPS-activated CD14+ monocytes and CD14+ granulocytes from the blood, which helped to reduce systemic inflammation and the severity of multiple organ disorders.

Abstract
COVID-19 has challenged the global healthcare system through rapid proliferation and lack of existing treatment resulting in over 180 million cases and 3.8 million deaths since December 2019. Although pediatric patients only comprise 1-2% of diagnosed cases, their incidence of acute kidney injury ranges from 8.2% to 18.2% compared to 49% in adults. Severe infection, initiated by dysregulated host response, can lead to multiorgan failure. In this review, we focus on the use of various blood filters approved for use in pediatric kidney replacement therapy to mitigate adverse effects of severe illness. Therapeutic effects of these blood filters range from cytokine removal (CytoSorb, HA330, HCO/MCO), endotoxin removal (Toraymyxin, CPFA), both cytokine and endotoxin removal (oXiris), and non-specific removal of proteins (PMMA) that have already been established and can be used to mitigate the various effects of the cytokine storm syndrome in COVID-19.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to inform the pediatric nephrologists of recent advances in acute kidney injury (AKI) epidemiology, pathophysiology, novel biomarkers, diagnostic tools, and management modalities. Studies were identified from PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar for topics relevant to AKI. The bibliographies of relevant studies were also reviewed for potential articles. Pediatric (0-18 years) articles from 2000 to May 2020 in the English language were included. For epidemiological outcomes analysis, a meta-analysis on data regarding AKI incidence, mortality, and proportion of kidney replacement therapy was performed and an overall pooled estimate was calculated using the random-effects model. Other sections were created highlighting pathophysiology, novel biomarkers, changing definitions of AKI, evolving tools for AKI diagnosis, and various management modalities. AKI is a common condition seen in hospitalized children and the diagnosis and management have shown to be quite a challenge. However, new standardized definitions, advancements in diagnostic tools, and the development of novel management modalities have led to increased survival benefits in children with AKI. IMPACT: This review highlights the recent innovations in the field of AKI, especially in regard to epidemiology, pathophysiology, novel biomarkers, diagnostic tools, and management modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Indirect cardiomyocyte damage-related hyperinflammatory response is one of the key mechanisms in COVID-19-induced fulminant myocarditis. In addition to the clinical benefit of using cytokines absorption hemofiltration, the effectiveness of instituting veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support for cardiac compromise has been reported. However, current literature enunciates a paucity of available data on the effectiveness of these novel modalities. CASE PRESENTATION We reported a 9-year-old boy with recurrent COVID-19 infection-causing fulminant myocarditis, who was treated successfully by using novel modalities of oXiris ® hemofilter continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) and VA-ECMO. The patient made a full recovery without any sequelae. CONCLUSION We conclude that the novel highly-absorptive hemofilter CVVH and VA-ECMO may be effective treatment modalities in managing SARS-CoV-2-induced fulminant myocarditis. Our report highlights the need for further well-designed investigations to confirm this extrapolation.

Abstract
Circulating inflammatory mediators and cytokines play a pivotal role in the progression of sepsis, leading in turn to septic shock, organ failure and resistance to standard therapy. Blood purification therapies may be adjuvant treatment for severe sepsis, but results have been shown to be so far controversial. Recently, CytoSorb has achieved promising outcomes on reduction of cytokine blood levels, improvement of clinical parameters and mortality in sepsis, as well as in other acute conditions. It is mostly used in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), in isolated hemoperfusion, or inserted in other circuits in addition to Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT), heart-lung machines and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. We report a case of septic shock occurred in our Emergency Department-High Dependency Unit (ED-HDU), resistant to standard therapy and improved after CytoSorb, so avoiding ICU hospitalization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the use of extracorporeal therapy (ECT) in the management of a dog with complications stemming from heatstroke. CASE REVIEW A 3-year-old intact male Rhodesian Ridgeback was presented for heat-related illness following strenuous exercise. Despite intensive supportive care, the dog developed progressive and refractory hyperkalemia, hypoglycemia, neurologic dysfunction, acute kidney injury (AKI), and pulmonary dysfunction. Four ECT sessions were performed in this dog, consisting of 4 intermittent hemodialysis (HD) sessions, the first 2 of which concurrently utilized hemoperfusion with a cytokine adsorption filter. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-10, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 were detected in samples collected during the first ECT session. Despite an initial decrease in their concentration, the concentrations of these cytokines ultimately rose over the course of the ECT session. Rapid and sustained glycemic and electrolyte control were achieved after the first ECT session, although AKI and muscle injury persisted. The dog survived to discharge and was nonazotemic 3 months following initial management. NEW OR UNIQUE INFORMATION PROVIDED Heatstroke is a common, potentially catastrophic, occurrence in dogs. To the authors' knowledge, this represents the first clinical use of ECT consisting of HD and cytokine adsorption in the management of severe heat-related illness in a dog. The use of ECT for the management of complications from severe heatstroke in dogs warrants further investigation.

Abstract
The "normal" immune response to an insult triggers a highly regulated response determined by the interaction of various immunocompetent cells with pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Under pathologic conditions, the massive elevation of cytokine levels ("cytokine storm") could not be controlled until the recent development of hemoadsorption devices that are able to extract a variety of different DAMPs, PAMPs, and metabolic products from the blood. CytoSorb® has been approved for adjunctive sepsis therapy since 2011. This review aims to summarize theoretical knowledge, in vitro results, and clinical findings to provide the clinician with pragmatic guidance for daily practice. English-language and peer-reviewed literature identified by a selective literature search in PubMed and published between January 2016 and May 2021 was included. Hemoadsorption can be used successfully as adjunct to a complex therapeutic regimen for various conditions. To the contrary, this nonspecific intervention may potentially worsen patient outcomes in complex immunological processes. CytoSorb® therapy appears to be safe and useful in various diseases (e.g., rhabdomyolysis, liver failure, or intoxications) as well as in septic shock or cytokine release syndrome, although a conclusive assessment of treatment benefit is not possible and no survival benefit has yet been demonstrated in randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In December 2019, pneumonia associated with a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported in Wuhan, China. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the most frequently observed complication in COVID-19 patients with high mortality rates. OBJECTIVE OF STUDY To observe the clinical effect of plasmapheresis on excessive inflammatory reaction and immune features in patients with severe COVID-19 at risk of ARDS. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this single-center study, we included 15 confirmed cases of COVID-19 at Masih Daneshvari Hospital, in March 2020 in Tehran, Iran. COVID-19 cases were confirmed by RT-PCR and CT imaging according to WHO guidelines. Plasmapheresis was performed to alleviate cytokine-induced ARDS. The improvement in oxygen delivery (PaO2/FiO2), total number of T cells, liver enzymes, acute reaction proteins, TNF-α and IL-6 levels were evaluated. RESULTS Inflammatory cytokine levels (TNF-α, IL-6), and acute phase reaction proteins including ferritin and CRP were high before plasmapheresis. After plasmapheresis, the levels of PaO2/FiO2, acute phase reactants, inflammatory mediators, liver enzymes and bilirubin were significantly reduced within a week (p < 0.05). In contrast, although the number of T helper cells decreased immediately after plasmapheresis, they rose to above baseline levels after 1 week. Nine out of fifteen patients on non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) survived whilst the six patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) died. CONCLUSION Our data suggests that plasmapheresis improves systemic cytokine and immune responses in patients with severe COVID-19 who do not undergo IMV. Further controlled studies are required to explore the efficacy of plasmapheresis treatment in patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to an infection; it carries a risk for mortality, considerably exceeding that of a mere infection. Sepsis is the leading cause for acute kidney injury (AKI) and the requirement for renal replacement therapy (RRT) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Almost every second critically ill patient with sepsis will develop AKI. In septic shock, the dysregulated host response to infectious pathogens leads to a cytokine storm with uncontrolled production and release of humoral proinflammatory mediators that evoke cellular toxicity and promote the development of organ dysfunction and increased mortality. In addition to treating AKI, RRT techniques can be employed for extracorporeal adsorption of inflammatory mediators using specifically developed adsorption membranes, hemoperfusion sorbent cartridges or columns; these techniques are intended to decrease the level and early deleterious effects of circulating proinflammatory cytokines and endotoxins during the first hours and days of septic shock treatment, in order to improve patient outcomes. Several methods and devices, such as high cut-off membranes, the Oxiris®-AN69 membrane, CytoSorb® and HA380 cytokine hemoadsorption, polymyxin B endotoxin adsorption, and plasmapheresis have been examined in small study series or are under evaluation as ways of improving patient outcomes in septic shock. However, to date, the data on actual outcome benefits have remained controversial, as discussed in this review.

[PMID: 34448261 DOI: 10.1111/sdi.13002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Revised: 04/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in sepsis does have a role in removing excessive fluid, and also role in removal of mediators although not proven today, and to allow fluid space in order to feed. In these conditions, continuous renal replacement therapy can improve morbidity but never mortality so far. Regarding sepsis, timing has become a more important issue after decades and is currently more discussed than dosing. Rationale of blood purification has evolved a lot in the last years regarding sepsis with the discovery of many types of sorbent allowing ideas from science fiction to become reality in 2021. Undoubtedly, COVID-19 has reactivated the interest of blood purification in sepsis but also in COVID-19. Burn is even more dependent about removal of excessive fluid as compared to sepsis. Regarding cardiac failure, ultrafiltration can improve the quality of life and morbidity when diuretics are becoming inefficient but can never improve mortality. Regarding brain injury, CRRTs have several advantages as compared to intermittent hemodialysis. In liver failure, there have been no randomized controlled trials to examine whether single-pass albumin dialysis offers advantages over standard supportive care, and there is always the cost of albumin.

[PMID: 34445610 PMCID: PMC8396222 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22168882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Revised: 08/16/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Sepsis is characterized by a dysregulated immune response to infections that causes life-threatening organ dysfunction and even death. When infections occur, bacterial cell wall components (endotoxin or lipopolysaccharide), known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns, bind to pattern recognition receptors, such as toll-like receptors, to initiate an inflammatory response for pathogen elimination. However, strong activation of the immune system leads to cellular dysfunction and ultimately organ failure. Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which are released by injured host cells, are well-recognized triggers that result in the elevation of inflammatory cytokine levels. A cytokine storm is thus amplified and sustained in this vicious cycle. Interestingly, during sepsis, neutrophils transition from powerful antimicrobial protectors into dangerous mediators of tissue injury and organ dysfunction. Thus, the concept of blood purification has evolved to include inflammatory cells and mediators. In this review, we summarize recent advances in knowledge regarding the role of lipopolysaccharides, cytokines, DAMPs, and neutrophils in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Additionally, we discuss the potential of blood purification, especially the adsorption technology, for removing immune cells and molecular mediators, thereby serving as a therapeutic strategy against sepsis. Finally, we describe the concept of our immune-modulating blood purification system.
