Measurement of thrombin generation intra-operatively and its association with bleeding tendency after cardiac surgery

Introduction

Patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are susceptible to haemostatic disturbances. Monitoring the haemostatic capacity by conventional clotting tests is challenging.

Materials and Methods

Thrombin generation (TG) by Calibrated Automated Thrombography, clotting tests and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) measurements were performed to describe the relationship between haemostatic changes and alterations in these tests. Blood samples were collected before, during and after CPB. Furthermore, it was investigated whether TG measured intraoperatively, is associated with increased risk of bleeding postoperatively.

Results

TG diminished significantly (p < 0.01) after heparinization in the presence and absence of platelets (37% and 50%) compared to baseline. After the start of CPB, TG elevated and persisted till the end of surgery but remained lower than preoperatively. Activated clotting time increased after heparinization and after the start of bypass compared to baseline (400% and 500%). Anti-FXa activity reduced on the start of CPB compared to the level after heparinization, to almost the baseline value following protamine reversal of heparin. The plasma levels of total and free TFPI elevated 9 and 14 fold during bypass and remained after protamine administration higher than preoperatively. Plasma D-dimer levels reduced (p < 0.01) when bypass started. However, a marked elevation was observed in the following time points. TG in platelet-rich plasma measured after heparinization and after the start of CPB associated (p < 0.05) with postoperative blood loss.

Conclusions

TG can be determined during CPB despite the high heparinization level, it reflects the haemostatic capacity better than clotting-based assays and might better predict bleeding when performed intraoperatively.

Subgingival bacterial clusters and serum antibody response as markers of extent and severity of periodontitis in adult Chinese

This study evaluated the associations between clinical, microbiological, and antibody activity manifestations of periodontitis in 123 adult rural Chinese subjects with no dental intervention. All participants were registered for full‐mouth clinical attachment level (CAL) and pocket probing depth (PD) measurements, and microbial samples were taken from four sites and analyzed for 18 different bacterial species using the ‘checkerboard’. Serum from each individual was analyzed to determine the antibody activity against the same 18 species. Exploratory factor analysis disclosed two microbial factors – Factor 1, consisting of seven species associated with periodontal health (‘early colonizers’); and Factor 2, consisting of eight species associated with periodontitis (‘putative periodontopathogens’) – which explained 87% of the variation among the microbial variables. Factor 2 was consistently associated with disease‐severity measures, whereas the ‘early colonizer’ factor was not. The antibody response showed weak or no correlations with bacterial load or with disease severity. We conclude that the bacteria investigated are resident in the subgingival plaque; that their load and proportions in the pocket may be ecologically driven; and that the antibody response is based on bacterial carrier state rather than on disease. The different antibody‐response pattern found between the individuals may suggest that each individual could be classified as a good or a weak immune responder.
