Methods: The data for clinical outcomes, microbiological responses, and side effects were collected and evaluated for 12 critically ill infants and young children diagnosed with ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by XDR-Ab following surgical treatment for congenital heart disease in a pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. This study was approved by local institutional review board (IRB). Results: Two patients died from the complex underlining diseases. The other 10 patients were weaned off the mechanical ventilation successfully within 4–15 days after the start of treatment with rifampicin combined with sulbactam sodium and discharged home. Three cases experienced adverse side effects, including severe rash and elevated aminotransferase level. Conclusion: The combination of rifampicin and sulbactam sodium appeared to be an effective and safe therapy for severe ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by XDR-Ab in infants and young children. Side effects such as skin rashes and elevated aminotransferase levels can be reversed once rifampicin is discontinued in time.

Surgical cancer patients are often malnourished, cachexic and subject to neoadjuvant chemotherapy resulting in low preoperative fitness levels. This review examined the associations between aerobic fitness, as determined objectively by preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPEX), and short-term morbidity after cancer surgery. Methods: A literature search using databases of PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and the Cochrane Library for studies that examined associations between preoperative CPEX variables and postoperative complications following surgery for the ten commonest cancers. Results: A total of 21 observational studies were identified with 4957 patients that underwent CPEX testing prior to lung, colorectal, liver, oesophagogastric, bladder and pancreas resections. The median sample size was 105 patients (range 64 - 1684). No studies were found for breast or brain cancers or lymphoma. In lung cancer patients undergoing thoracotomy, a VO2peak ≤ 15ml/kg/min was associated with an increased risk of respiratory complications and death. None of the studies in other cancer types had adequate sample sizes to report on mortality. CPEX testing had mostly poor to average discriminatory accuracy to predict postoperative morbidity in other cancer resection surgeries. Findings across studies were inconsistent, and detection and selective reporting biases were likely to be significant. Conclusion: The utility of CPEX testing prior to cancer surgery is questionable and currently should not be used as a discriminatory tool, except in patients undergoing lung cancer resection by thoracotomy. Larger studies with more robust methodologies are currently required to determine the utility of CPEX.","PeriodicalId":15018,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine","volume":"28 1","pages":"136-148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91232086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Necroptosis could cause sterile inflammation and negatively associates with the cognitive score in Alzheimer ’ s disease. Thus we detected the effects of anti-HMGB1 antibody on the necroptosis-associated protein expressions dur-ing the POCD of aged rats. under sevoflurane anesthesia and analgesia were performed. Immunoglobulin G (1 mg/kg) and HMGB1 neutralizing antibody (1 mg/kg) were injected via tail right before and 6 hours after surgery. The expression of necroptosis-associated proteins (HSP90, CDC37, and RIP3) in the prefrontal cortex of brain was detected by western blot and immunofluorescence. Oxidative stress was measured by dihydroethidium staining. Results: Systemic administration of anti-HMGB1 antibody decreased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduced the expression of HSP90, CDC37, and RIP3 in prefrontal cortex neurons of brains after surgery (P < 0.05, respectively). Moreover, acetylated HSP90 (ACHSP90) which is a negative regulator of necroptosis was significantly decreased by treatments of anti-HMGB1 neutralization antibody (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Systemic administration of anti-HMGB1 antibody may improve POCD through reducing reactive oxygen species and decreasing necroptosis in the prefrontal cortex of the aged brain.

The alterations in pharmacological proper-ties of many narcotic drugs caused by obstructive jaundice vary widely. And the require-ments of many anesthesia-related drugs, such as rocuronium, desflurane and etomidate, are reduced in patients with obstructive jaundice. Conclusion: Pathophysiological changes associated with obstructive jaundice need to be improved preoperatively. Anesthesiologists should be aware of the importance of rational use of narcotic drugs in patients with obstructive jaundice during operation. Multidisci-plinary collaboration is required for the treatment of such patients perioperatively. (Funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.)
