Extracorporeal blood purification treatment options for COVID-19: The role of immunoadsorption

The activation of the innate and adaptive immune systems by SARS-CoV-2 causes the release of several inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6. The inflammatory hypercytokinemia causes immunopathological changes in the lungs including vascular leakage, and alveolar edema. As a result of these changes in the lungs, hypoxia and acute respiratory distress syndrome occur in patients with COVID-19. Even though there are clinical trials on the development of therapeutics and vaccines, there are currently no licensed vaccines or therapeutics for COVID-19. Pharmacological approaches have shown poor results in sepsis-like syndromes caused by the hypercytokinemia. Suppressing the cytokine storm is an important way to prevent the organ damage in patients with COVID-19. Extracorporeal blood purification could be proposed as an adjunctive therapy for sepsis, aiming to control the associated dysregulation of the immune system, which is known to protect organ functions. Several extracorporeal blood purification therapies are now available, and most of them target endotoxins and/or the cytokines and aim improving the immune response. For this purpose, plasmapheresis and immunoadsorption may be an important adjunctive treatment option to manage the complications caused by cytokine storm in critically ill patients with COVID-19.

Ensayo clínico para determinar si el momento de administración del ácido tranexámico en la cirugía de prótesis total de rodilla con torniquete influye en el sangrado perioperatorio

Background and objectivesThe ideal timing of tranexamic acid administration in total knee arthroplasty with tourniquet remains unclear. Our primary objective was to prove if administering it before surgical incision, instead of before releasing the tourniquet, reduces postoperative bleeding. A second objective was to determine whether a second dose reduces post-operative bleeding.Material and methodsA prospective, double-blind clinical trial was performed on 212 patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty. They were randomised into 4 groups. Tranexamic acid was administered before the surgical incision in “pre-induction groups” (1 and 2), and just before the tourniquet release in “pre-release groups” (3 and 4). Groups 2 and 4 received a second dose 3 hours post-surgery. Main outcome was postoperative bleeding (visible blood loss and calculated total bleeding). Secondary outcomes were haemoglobin variations, complications and transfusion rate.ResultsThe mean calculated total bleeding was 1563 ml (95%CI: 1445 to 1681) in preinduction groups versus 1576 ml (95%CI: 1439 to 1713) in pre-release groups (P = .9); 1579 ml (95%CI: 1452 to 1706) in single-dose groups versus 1559 ml (95%CI: 1431 to 1686) in double-dose groups (P = .82). One patient was transfused. The mean haemoglobin at discharge was 10.4 g/dl (95%CI: 10.2 to 10.7) in singledose groups versus 10.8 (95%CI: 10.6 to 11.1) in double-dose groups (P = .06).ConclusionsThere were no differences in bleeding or transfusion regarding the time of tranexamic acid administration. The second dose had not impact on outcomes.Trial registration: EudraCT 2016-000071-24.     

糖尿病患者腹部手术围手术期的处理

糖尿病已成为全球威胁人类健康的三大慢性非传染性疾病之一。需要外科手术的患者占所有糖尿病患者的25%,其围手术期病死率、并发症以及住院时间较正常人明显增加,因此对于糖尿病患者围手术期的处理方案显得尤为重要。但目前对于围手术期血糖控制范围仍众说纷纭,综合各研究结论,笔者认为将血糖控制在7.8~10 mmol/L是一个较为理想的范围。在患者术前、术中及术后应联合多学科制定各项相应的治疗方案,围手术期尤为注意避免患者发生低血糖和电解质紊乱的发生。也亟待后续大规模的随机对照试验进一步确定有效的血糖控制目标。     

Effects of incentives,age, and behavior on brain activation during inhibitory control: A longitudinal fMRI study

We investigated changes in brain function supporting inhibitory control under age-controlled incentivized conditions, separating age- and performance-related activation in an accelerated longitudinal design including 10- to 22-year-olds. Better inhibitory control correlated with striatal activation during neutral trials, while Age X Behavior interactions in the striatum indicated that in the absence of extrinsic incentives, younger subjects with greater reward circuitry activation successfully engage in greater inhibitory control. Age was negatively correlated with ventral amygdala activation during Loss trials, suggesting that amygdala function more strongly mediates bottom-up processing earlier in development when controlling the negative aspects of incentives to support inhibitory control. Together, these results indicate that with development, reward-modulated cognitive control may be supported by incentive processing transitions in the amygdala, and from facilitative to obstructive striatal function during inhibitory control.     

Recipient hypertonic saline infusion prevents cardiac allograft dysfunction

Objective

Hypertonic saline (HTS) has potent immune and vascular effects. We assessed recipient pretreatment with HTS on allograft function in a porcine model of heart transplantation and hypothesized that HTS infusion would limit endothelial and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction following transplantation.

The Importance of Venous Return in Starling‐Like Control of Rotary Ventricular Assist Devices

Rotary ventricular assist devices (VADs) are less sensitive to preload than the healthy heart, resulting in inadequate flow regulation in response to changes in patient cardiac demand. Starling‐like physiological controllers (SLCs) have been developed to automatically regulate VAD flow based on ventricular preload. An SLC consists of a cardiac response curve (CRC) which imposes a nonlinear relationship between VAD flow and ventricular preload, and a venous return line (VRL) which determines the return path of the controller. This study investigates the importance of a physiological VRL in SLC of dual rotary blood pumps for biventricular support. Two experiments were conducted on a physical mock circulation loop (MCL); the first compared an SLC with an angled physiological VRL (SLC‐P) against an SLC with a vertical VRL (SLC‐V). The second experiment quantified the benefit of a dynamic VRL, represented by a series of specific VRLs, which could adapt to different circulatory states including changes in pulmonary (PVR) and systemic (SVR) vascular resistance versus a fixed physiological VRL which was calculated at rest. In both sets of experiments, the transient controller responses were evaluated through reductions in preload caused by the removal of fluid from the MCL. The SLC‐P produced no overshoot or oscillations following step changes in preload, whereas SLC‐V produced 0.4 L/min (12.5%) overshoot for both left and right VADs. Additionally, the SLC‐V had increased settling time and reduced controller stability as evidenced by transient controller oscillations. The transient results comparing the specific and standard VRLs demonstrated that specific VRL rise times were improved by between 1.2 and 4.7 s ( = 3.05 s), while specific VRL settling times were improved by between 2.8 and 16.1 seconds ( = 8.38 s) over the standard VRL. This suggests only a minor improvement in controller response time from a dynamic VRL compared to the fixed VRL. These results indicate that the use of a fixed physiologically representative VRL is adequate over a wide variety of physiological conditions.
