Demographic characteristics, past medical history, comorbidities, preoperative medication, preoperative laboratory test results, specific information on surgical procedures, and postoperative treatment related data were extracted. The primary endpoint was the incidence of postoperative AKI. Secondary endpoints included in-hospital all-cause mortality and all-cause mortality within the longest follow-up period. According to whether RASi was used before surgery, the patients were divided into PreRASi group and No-PreRASi group. The baseline data of the two groups were balanced by propensity score matching (PSM). Logistic regression model and Cox proportional hazards model were used to assess the correlation between PreRASi and postoperative AKI and clinical outcomes, and analyze the subgroups of hypertension and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in the cohort.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 33 884 patients who underwent CABG were included, with a mean follow-up duration of (3.0±2.4) years and the longest follow-up duration up to 8.5 years. There were 9 128 cases (26.94%) in the PreRASi group and 24 756 cases (73.06%) in the No-PreRASi group. The incidence of postoperative AKI in the PreRASi group was 47.61% (4 346 cases), compared to 52.37% (12 964 cases) in the No-PreRASi group. Two groups were matched with 5 094 patients each. Compared to the No-PreRASi group, both before and after PSM, PreRASi was associated with a reduction of risk of postoperative AKI [before PSM: odds ratio (OR) = 0.834, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.793-0.877, P < 0.001; after PSM: OR = 0.875, 95%CI was 0.808-0.948, P = 0.001]. Subgroup analysis of hypertensive and HFpEF patients showed that PreRASi was associated with a decreased risk of postoperative AKI before and after PSM. The in-hospital mortality for the PreRASi and No-PreRASi groups were 0.61% (56 cases) and 0.49% (121 cases), respectively. Analysis of the overall cohort and subgroups with hypertension and HFpEF showed no correlation between PreRASi and in-hospital mortality or longest follow-up mortality.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The perioperative use of RASi can reduce the risk of postoperati","PeriodicalId":24079,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua wei zhong bing ji jiu yi xue","volume":"36 10","pages":"1056-1062"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142717209","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}

As a representative derivative of ω-3 fatty acids, Maresin-1 has been widely explored for its role in regulating innate immune cells (neutrophils and mononuclear/macrophages) and promoting the resolution of infectious inflammation in acute inflammatory diseases. There is now increasing evidence that Maresin-1 also has a direct effect on the adaptive immune system and prevents the transition from acute inflammation to chronic inflammation. By analyzing the literature related to the effect of Maresin-1 on the regulation of inflammation, this paper summarized the role of various immune cells in inflammatory response and the regulatory mechanism of Maresin-1 on various immune cells, so as to deeply understand the research progress of the role of Maresin-1 in regulating immune cells in inflammatory diseases.
