We investigated the characteristics in patients with COVID-19 and the risk factors associated with severe cases and progression to severe patients during hospitalization. Methods: In this retrospective, multicenter observational study, we collected the clinical manifestations and laboratory regarding from 125 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in Liaoning province, China. The collected COVID-19 patients were divided into two groups, including nonsevere group and severe group which were according to the Chinese national guideline for COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment. Results: One hundred and twenty-five laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients from three centralized diagnosis and treatment centers were enrolled. The median age was 44 years old, 68 (54.4%) were male. One hundred and twelve (81.6%) patients were in nonsevere group and 23 (18.4%) were in severe group. The overall hospital mortality is 1.6%. About 34% patients had been to Wuhan, 35.2%patients had contact with confirmed COVID-19 patient in Wuhan. Thirty-five (28%) patients were local and 11 (8.8%) patients had a history of direct contact with wildlife. About 20.8% of the patients had comorbidity, hypertension was the most common comorbidity (14.4%). Four patients changed from nonsevere to severe during hospitalization. Most patients were admitted in January and February (98.4%). The median hospital stay was 16 days (interquartile range [IQR]: 12–21). On admission, fever was the most common symptom (60.8%). Duration from onset symptom to hospitalization was 5 days (IQR, 2–8). Compared with nonsevere group, severe cases were associated with significant increased NE (74.19 ± 13.87 vs. 62.32 ± 12.80, P = 0.001), C-reactive protein (CRP) (33.27 ± 38.60 vs. 15.53 ± 29.35, P = 0.003), D2 (1.52 ± 2.83 vs. 0.44 ± 0.93, P = 0.021), lower lymphocyte count (0.81 ± 0.41 vs. 2.32 ± 6.63, P = 0.042), and lymphocyte percentage (LY%) (15.94 ± 10.47 vs. 28.83 ± 11.66, P < 0.001). Kaletra and Chinese medicine were most widely used, the proportion was 61.6% and 66.4%, respectively. Age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.030, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99–1.09; P = 0.042), fever on admission (OR = 5.23, 95% CI, 1.32–20.79; P = 0.019), increased NE (OR = 10.53, 95% CI, 3.55–31.25; P = 0.000), and decreased LY% (OR = 7.72, 95% CI, 2.61–22.83; P = 0.000) were independently associated with the severe COVID-19. Age (OR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.01–1.23; P = 0.025), myalgia (OR, 30.82; 95% CI, 1.58–600.16; P = 0.024), and CRP (OR = 1.04, 95% CI, 1.004–1.073; P = 0.030) were associated with higher risk of development to severe COVID-19 cases.

We conducted this systematic review to investigate the relationship between regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) and early POCD in postoperative patients. Materials and Methods: Our search included MEDLINE (PubMed) and Cochrane library, from inception to October 31, 2018. We included studies reporting values of rSO2 at the beginning of and/or during surgery, and the primary outcome was POCD, and excluded articles who do not put postoperative cognitive function as the main observation. Two reviewers assessed the quality of the included articles using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and extracted the data. Results: Seven prospective cohort studies that included 532 patients incorporate into this systematic review. About 37.78% (201/532) patients achieved POCD. POCD was associated with significantly lower overall values of rSO2 during surgery compared to the population that did not achieve POCD (mean difference [MD] −1.98; 95% confidence interval [CI] −3.30 to −0.66; P = 0.003). In the subgroup, the lowest rSO2 values intraoperative period were a better predictor of POCD (MD −2.91; 95% CI −4.37 to − 1.46; P < 0.0001) than the mean rSO2 values (MD − 2.94; 95% CI −5.71 to − 0.17; P = 0.04). However, all of two were proved superior to baseline rSO2 values (MD −0.13; 95% CI -1.33 to 1.07; P = 0.83); patients with intraoperative cerebral oxygen <50% are nearly four times more likely to have early POCD (odds ratio = 3.65; 95% CI 1.62–8.23, P = 0.002). Conclusions: Patients with POCD have significantly lower cerebral oxygenation during operation than their counterparts. The lowest rSO2 values intraoperative period and patients with intraoperative cerebral oxygen <50% were a better predictor of POCD.","PeriodicalId":93326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Translational Critical Care Medicine","volume":"43 1","pages":"83 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85671964","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}

Current theories about the mechanisms of MODS include inflammation, dysregulated immune response, reduced cellular oxygen utilization, cytopathic hypoxia, and apoptosis. Moreover, an increasing number of studies have shown that endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is related to organ dysfunction. The endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle that is responsible for secretion and membrane protein synthesis and assembly as well as some other physiological activities. Under certain conditions, the homeostasis of ER can be lost, causing the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded protein, which is termed as ERS. During ERS, unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated. Once UPR fails to rebuilt cellular homeostasis, cell function will be impaired and apoptosis will be induced. To better understand the relationship between ERS and severe diseases, we summarize the current research in the context of ERS and UPR signaling associated with various organ dysfunction and severe diseases, including acute lung injury, hepatic injury, heart failure, hemorrhagic shock with multiple organ dysfunction, sepsis, and some other diseases. We also discuss ERS or UPR as a novel therapeutic target and their future directions.","PeriodicalId":93326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Translational Critical Care Medicine","volume":"13 1","pages":"54 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72880515","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}

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to report the major characteristics and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients treated with ACEIs and ARBs and compare the different effects of the two drugs for outcomes of COVID-19 patients. Methods: This is a retrospective, two-center case series of 198 consecutive COVID-19 patients with a history of hypertension. Results: Among 198 patients, 58 (29.3%) and 16 (8.1%) were on ARB and ACEI, respectively. Patients who were on ARB or ACEI/ARB had a significantly lower rate of severe illness and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) when compared with patients treated with ACEI alone or not receiving RAAS blocker (P < 0.05). The Kaplan–Meier survival curve showed that patients with ARB in their antihypertensive regimen had a trend toward a higher survival rate when compared with individuals without ARB (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.07–1.02; P = 0.054). The occurrence rates of severe illness, ARDS, and death were similar in the two groups regardless of receiving ACEI. The Cox regression analyses showed a better survival in the ARB group than the ACEI group (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.03; 95% CI, 0.00–0.58; P = 0.02). Conclusions: Our data may provide that some evidence of using ARB, but not ACEI, was associated with a reduced rate of severe illness and ARDS, indicating their potential protective impact in COVID-19.
