Since the complex and multifactorial pathophysiology of this disease and its consequences is not entirely understood, novel mechanisms are currently under investigation, one being oxidative stress. Malondialdehyde is a product of lipid peroxidation and has been widely utilised as an indirect biomarker of oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the perioperative oxidative stress in patients with preoperative renal dysfunction undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery. Methods: In 115 patients scheduled for on-pump cardiac surgery, serum concentrations of malondialdehyde were obtained pre-, intra- and postoperatively. The patients were enrolled into two study groups regarding their preoperative renal function, and the malondialdehyde concentrations were compared between the study groups. Results: Patients with preoperative renal dysfunction were older and had a higher mean EuroSCORE II score. On postoperative days 1, 2 and 3, the serum malondialdehyde levels were significantly higher in patients with preoperative renal dysfunction compared to those with normal kidney function. Using regression analysis, preoperative renal dysfunction was shown to be an independent predictor of higher postoperative malondialdehyde levels at all tested time points. Conclusions: In a pioneering study correlating cardiopulmonary bypass and oxidative stress biomarker malondialdehyde, patients with preoperative renal dysfunction were found to exhibit more pronounced and prolonged oxidative stress resulting in protracted lipid peroxidation in the early postoperative period compared to patients with normal kidney function.","PeriodicalId":503802,"journal":{"name":"The Heart Surgery Forum","volume":"110 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140449891","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}

Methods: Between January 2017 and January 2022, patients with SKD who underwent coronary stent implantation at the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether ISR occurred within 2 years of postoperative follow-up, 164 patients were categorized into the ISR group (n = 62) and the non-ISR group (n = 102). According to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula, SKD is defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 30 mL/(min·1.73 m2). Angiographic ISR was defined as a stented coronary artery segment with more than 50% constriction during the follow-up angiography. Relevant clinical data and laboratory parameters were obtained from the hospital's medical records. Results: In total, 164 patients were included (mean age: 67.1 [10.2] years, 65.2% men), grouped into 62 patients with ISR and 102 patients without. A significant difference was found in the age, previous strokes, congestive heart failure (CHF), NLR, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), fibrinogen, CHA2DS2-VASc score, and risk classification of CHA2DS2-VASc score of patients in the ISR group as compared to those in the non-ISR group. In a multivariable logistic regression analysis, the CHA2DS2-VASc score, fibrinogen, and NLR were identified as independent predictors of ISR. The analysis of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve revealed that the area under the curve (AUC) value was 0.714 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.634–0.793) for the CHA2DS2-VASc score and 0.652 (95% CI: 0.565–0.739) for FIB, 0.707 (95% CI: 0.627–0.788) for NLR, and 0.797 (95% CI: 0.725–0.868) for the combination of CHA2DS2-VASc score, FIB and NLR. Conclusions: The combination of CHA2DS2-VASc score, FIB, and NLR can more accurately predict the occurrence of ISR in SKD patients.","PeriodicalId":503802,"journal":{"name":"The Heart Surgery Forum","volume":"17 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140450750","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}

{"title":"Effect of Thoracoscopic Surgery under Spontaneous Respiration on Inflammatory Indicators and Postoperative Complications in Elderly Patients with Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax","authors":"Fangjie Xiao, Yan Xia","doi":"10.59958/hsf.6977","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.59958/hsf.6977","url":null,"abstract":"Background: In thoracoscopic surgery under spontaneous respiration, patients could breathe spontaneously during surgery without the need for mechanical ventilation via tracheal intubation. This technique can effectively avoid the injuries caused by tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation and the side effects of muscle relaxants, thus reducing postoperative complications and benefitting patients. This study aims to explore the application of thoracoscopic surgery under spontaneous respiration in the elderly with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) and its effect on inflammatory indices and postoperative complications. Methods: The medical records of 181 elderly patients with PSP who underwent thoracoscopic surgery in our hospital from June 2021 to June 2022 were chosen for retrospective analysis. After excluding 15 patients who did not meet inclusion criteria, 80 patients receiving spontaneous respiration via laryngeal mask ventilation were included in the study group and 86 patients undergoing pulmonary ventilation via single-lumen tracheal intubation were included in the control group in accordance with the different schemes used in the surgery. Preoperative anaesthesia induction, surgical and hospitalisation times were compared, and the haemodynamics and inflammatory indices and complication incidences of the two groups were analysed. Results: Recovery time and hospitalisation time significantly differed between the two groups (p < 0.001). Compared with the control group, the study group had significantly lower mean arterial pressure at T2 and faster heart rates at T2 and T3 (p < 0.001). At T5, T6 and T7, the levels of interleukin-6, interleukin-8 and C-reactive protein in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). The incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications did not significantly differ between the two groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Thoracoscopic surgery under spontaneous respiration is safe and effective in the treatment of elderly patients with PSP. It reduces the levels of inflammatory factors and accelerates postoperative rehabilitation, showing certain value for clinical promotion.","PeriodicalId":503802,"journal":{"name":"The Heart Surgery Forum","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140451881","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}

Pyroptosis is a proinflammatory type of programmed cell death, the effects and underlying mechanisms of endothelial cell (EC) pyroptosis in ISR remains unclear. Method: According to our previous work, an ISR rabbit model was established. Rabbits were divided into sham operation group and stent group. Serum was collected at 0, 4, 8, and 12 weeks to detect interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 levels. Rabbits' vascular EC was collected to detect NLRP3, Caspase1, GSDMD and P65 expression by western blot. NLRP3 inhibitor (MCC950) and P65 inhibitor (Helenalin) were used to pretreat EC, cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level of supernatant and pyroptosis related protein expression were measured in different groups. Results: The serum levels of IL-1β and IL-18 gradually increased with time, and the levels at the site of stent implantation were higher than the peripheral level. EC viability decreased significantly in the stent group, and protein levels of NLRP3, caspase1 and GSDMD were higher than those in the sham group. MCC950 and P65 inhibitors can reverse these effects. Conclusions: EC pyroptosis mediated by P65/NLRP3 inflammasome axis may promote ISR, our results provide a potential intervention target for the treatment of ISR.","PeriodicalId":503802,"journal":{"name":"The Heart Surgery Forum","volume":"10 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140452185","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}
