Effects of perioperative vitamin E and zinc co-supplementation on systemic inflammation and length of stay following coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a randomized controlled trial. Eur J Clin Nutr 2024; 78:120-127. [PMID: 37891226 DOI: 10.1038/s41430-023-01356-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has been reported to be associated with lower postoperative plasma antioxidant and zinc levels. We hypothesized that perioperative supplementation of vitamin E and zinc might improve short-term postoperative outcomes. METHODS In this placebo-controlled double-blind, randomized study, patients undergoing CABG performed with cardiopulmonary bypass were recruited. The intervention group received zinc and vitamin E supplementation (1200 IU vitamin E and 120 mg elemental zinc) the day before surgery, followed by postoperative daily supplementation of 30 mg zinc and 200 IU vitamin E from the 2nd day after surgery to 3 weeks. The control group received placebos. Length of stay (LOS) in the intensive care unit and hospital, sequential organ failure assessment score on 3rd day after surgery, and plasma inflammatory markers on days 3 and 21 post-surgery were evaluated. RESULTS Seventy-eight patients completed the study (40 in the intervention group and 38 in the placebo group). The hospital LOS was significantly shorter (p < 0.05) in the intervention group. Postoperative changes in plasma albumin levels were not different between the two groups. The plasma zinc level was higher (p < 0.0001), but plasma C-reactive protein (p = 0.01), pentraxin 3 (p < 0.0001), interferon γ (p < 0.05), malondialdehyde (p < 0.05), and aspartate aminotransferase (p < 0.01) were lower in the intervention group compared to the placebo group. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative vitamin E and zinc supplementation significantly reduced hospital LOS and the inflammatory response in CABG surgery patients. In these patients, the optimal combination and dose of micronutrients need further study but could include zinc and vitamin E. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov website (NCT05402826).

Abstract
Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) is a familiar complication following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The present study evaluated the predictive value of the De Ritis ratio for CA-AKI and its association with long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing emergency PCI. Overall, 546 patients were included in this study. The De Ritis ratio was calculated by aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase activity. The De Ritis ratios in the CA-AKI patients were significantly higher than the non-CA-AKI patients [3.74 (2.32, 4.90) vs 1.61 (1.02, 2.53); P < .001]. The De Ritis ratio was an independent risk factor for CA-AKI [odds ratio, 2.243; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.823-2.759; P < .001]. The area under the ROC curve was .813 (95% CI, .763-.862; P < .001), and the sensitivity and specificity were 67.0% and 82.4%, respectively, when the optimum cut-off value was 2.97. Furthermore, patients in the high De Ritis ratio group (≥1.76) had a significantly greater incidence of primary endpoints [26.7% (73/273) vs 13.2% (36/273); P < .001], and the high De Ritis ratio was an independent predictor for primary endpoints (hazard ratio, 1.888, 95% CI, 1.235-2.887; P = .003). In conclusion, the De Ritis Ratio is associated with CA-AKI prediction and long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing emergency PCI.

Chen S, Wang H, Luo D, Zhang C. Postoperative Alanine Aminotransferase Levels Are Associated with Outcomes in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Total Cavopulmonary Connection. CHILDREN 2022; 9:children9091410. [PMID: 36138719 PMCID: PMC9497946 DOI: 10.3390/children9091410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Background: This single-center, retrospective study aims to determine the association between alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC). Methods: In total, 256 pediatric patients undergoing TCPC were included and divided into a normal-ALT group and a high-ALT group. Clinical data were collected for comparisons between groups, and risk factors of high postoperative ALT were identified by univariate and multivariate analysis. A ROC analysis of the predictive value of postoperative ALT was conducted. Results: Compared to the normal-ALT group, the members of the high-ALT group were 1.6 years older and had significantly higher preoperative creatinine and direct bilirubin levels. The high-ALT group had increased fluid overload, higher vasoactive inotropic drug scores, and inferior central venous pressure. The short-term outcomes in the high-ALT group were markedly worse: they suffered a longer duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), had a higher ICU and hospital length of stay (LOS), and higher rates of mortality, infection, and reintubation. Prolonged ICU and hospital LOS, longer MV, and reintubation were identified as independent risk factors for high postoperative ALT. Postoperative ALT was of high value in predicting reintubation, MV, ICU LOS, and mortality. Conclusions: Elevated postoperative ALT levels are associated with poor short-term outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing TCPC.

Cytokines in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Master Regulators With Clinical Application. Biomark Insights 2022; 17:11772719221095676. [PMID: 35492378 PMCID: PMC9052234 DOI: 10.1177/11772719221095676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2021] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a potentially life-threatening disorder with a mostly asymptomatic course where the abdominal aorta is weakened and bulged. Cytokines play especially important roles (both positive and negative) among the molecular actors of AAA development. All the inflammatory cascades, extracellular matrix degradation and vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis are driven by cytokines. Previous studies emphasize an altered expression and a changed epigenetic regulation of key cytokines in AAA tissue samples. Such cytokines as IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-17, IL-33, IL-1β, TGF-β, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and CXCL10 seem to be crucial in AAA pathogenesis. Some data obtained in animal studies show a protective function of IL-10, IL-33, and canonical TGF-β signaling, as well as a dual role of IL-4, IFN-γ and CXCL10, while TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12/IL-23, IL-17, CCR2, CXCR2, CXCR4 and the TGF-β noncanonical pathway are believed to aggravate the disease. Altogether data highlight significance of cytokines as informative markers and predictors of AAA. Pathologic serum/plasma concentrations of IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, IL-8, IL-17, IFN-γ, and PDGF have been already found in AAA patients. Some of the changes correlate with the size of aneurysms. Moreover, the risk of AAA is associated with polymorphic variants of genes encoding cytokines and their receptors: CCR2 (rs1799864), CCR5 (Delta-32), IL6 (rs1800796 and rs1800795), IL6R (rs12133641), IL10 (rs1800896), TGFB1 (rs1800469), TGFBR1 (rs1626340), TGFBR2 (rs1036095, rs4522809, rs1078985), and TNFA (rs1800629). Finally, 5 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in gene coding latent TGF-β-binding protein (LTBP4) and an allelic variant of TGFB3 are related to a significantly slower AAA annual growth rate.

Preoperative Liver Function Test Abnormalities Were Associated With Short-Term and Long-Term Prognosis in Cardiac Surgery Patients Without Liver Disease. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:772430. [PMID: 34790710 PMCID: PMC8591306 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.772430] [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: 09/08/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims: To explore the value of preoperative liver function tests (LFTs) for the prognosis of cardiac surgery patients without liver disease. Methods: The Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database was used to extract the clinical data. Adult cardiac patients (≥18 years) without liver disease in the database were enrolled. The association of LFTs with the time of hospital stay and ICU stay was analyzed with the Spearman correlation. Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify LFTs that were independent prognostic factors of mortality. Results: A total of 2,565 patients were enrolled in this study. Albumin (ALB) was negatively associated with the time of hospital stay and ICU stay, while alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin were positively associated with the time of hospital stay and ICU stay (all p < 0.001). Abnormal ALB, ALT, AST, and total bilirubin were associated with lower 90-day and 4-year survival (all p < 0.001) and could be used as independent risk factors for hospital mortality and 90-day mortality. However, only ALB and total bilirubin were independent risk factors for 4-year mortality. Conclusion: Preoperative LFT abnormalities were associated with short-term and long-term prognosis of cardiac surgery patients without liver disease.
