RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: This prospective, randomized, double-blinded, active controlled trial assessed whether a single preoperative administration of 40 mg of duloxetine could decrease postoperative pain and numbness after posterior lumbar interbody fusion surgery (PLIF). METHODS: Patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II undergoing PLIF were included. At 2 hours before inducing anesthesia, patients were administered 40 mg duloxetine or 4 mg diazepam (control drug). Postoperative pain and other symptoms were evaluated on the basis of a visual analog scale, amount of fentanyl used, fentanyl dose request times, rate of use of adjunctive analgesics (diclofenac sodium or pentazocine), and lower limb numbness score (0-3) during the first 2 postoperative days. RESULTS: Forty-six patients were randomly assigned to the duloxetine and diazepam groups (nâ =â 23 each); 6 were lost to follow-up, and analysis was performed on data from 22 patients in the duloxetine group and 18 in the diazepam group. No significant differences were detected in the patient background, postoperative visual analog scale score at rest in the lumbar region and lower limbs, fentanyl use, rate of analgesic adjuvant use, or incidence of side effects. The numbness score in the lower limbs, however, was significantly lower in the duloxetine group. CONCLUSION: A single preoperative 40-mg dose of duloxetine did not improve postoperative pain after PLIF, but did improve lower limb numbness. Duloxetine may suppress neuropathic pain-like symptoms after PLIF surgery.

OBJECTIVE: Developing a Japanese version of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised Second Version (MIQ-RS) is essential for widespread evaluation and treatment based on motor imagery in physically disabled persons and patients in rehabilitation. This study aimed to investigate the reliability and validity of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised Second Version (MIQ-RS), which assesses motor imagery ability, by translating it into Japanese. RESULTS: This study enrolled twenty healthy participants (10 men and 10 women, mean age 21.17 ± 1.10 years). Reliability was examined for internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to examine the criterion-related validity of the MIQ-RS and the Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire (KVIQ-20). Results showed that Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the MIQ-RS were 0.81 and 0.82 for visual and kinesthetic imagery, respectively. Significant positive correlations were found between each visual and kinesthetic imagery score, and each total on the MIQ-RS and KVIQ-20 scores (r = 0.73, p < 0.01; r = 0.84, p < 0.01; r = 0.80, p < 0.01, respectively). This study suggests that the Japanese version of the MIQ-RS is a reliable and valid method of assessing motor imagery ability.

INTRODUCTION: Locoregional recurrence after curative resection remains an important issue in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical significance of quantitative detection of intraperitoneal free cancer cells by a PCR-based method for predicting locoregional recurrence after CRC resection. METHOD: A total of 114 patients with CRC were enrolled between March 2017 and December 2018, and 95 patients with Stage I-III CRC were analyzed. Peritoneal lavage fluid was collected before and after tumour resection and subjected to cytology and quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) with carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as a genetic marker. RESULTS: 2.1% of patients had positive cytology after resection, whereas 9.5% had positive CEA qRT-PCR (PCR+) after resection. Eight of nine PCR+ patients after resection had tumours in the rectum. Fifteen (15.8%) patients developed recurrence during the follow-up period, including three with locoregional recurrence. One of 86 (1.2%) PCR- patients and 2 of 9 (22.2%) PCR+ patients after resection developed locoregional recurrence. Overall and in rectal cancer patients, the 3-year cumulative risk of locoregional recurrence was 25.0% and 28.6% for PCR+ patients, which is significantly higher than PCR- patients (1.3% and 0%, P < 0.001 and P = 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION: Intraperitoneal free cancer cells can serve as a sensitive predictor of locoregional recurrence after rectal cancer resection. qRT-PCR for CEA can be a suitable method for detecting intraperitoneal free cancer cells in peritoneal lavage fluid.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in tumor draining vein blood (DB) are potential sources for liquid biopsy. However, the identification of CTCs in DB of breast cancer has not been attempted. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of CTC detection in DB of breast cancer patients using a newly developed filtration-based microfluidic CTC detection device. Samples of peripheral vein blood (PB) and DB drawn from the lateral thoracic vein of the resected breast tissue were collected during the perioperative period. We investigated 41 breast cancer patients who underwent breast surgery with axillary lymph node dissection. DB was successfully collected in 36 patients (87.8%), with a mean amount of 0.85 ml. CTCs were detected in 58.3% of PB samples and 80.6% of DB samples. DB had significant higher number of CTCs compared with PB (p < 0.001). CTCs were detected in 75.0% of DB samples and 50.0% of PB samples from patients achieving pathological complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. These results suggest that abundant CTCs are released into the DB of breast cancer patients, indicating that CTCs in DB would be alternative sources for liquid biopsy and potential indicators for monitoring of treatment response and prognosis in breast cancer patients.

We studied cytological specimens of conventional papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC), and noninvasive follicular thyroid tumor with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) (formerly noninvasive FVPTC) to identify useful cytological parameters for their differentiation. Cytological findings of invasive FVPTC and NIFTP were very similar to each other but differed from those of conventional PTC. Intranuclear cytoplasmic inclusions, true papillary cell clusters, monolayered cell sheets, ropy colloids, multinucleate giant cells, psammoma bodies, and cystic background were the observed characteristic features of conventional PTC. Microfollicular cell clusters and dense globules of colloids were characteristic features of invasive FVPTC and NIFTP. Scoring the eight parameters (intranuclear cytoplasmic inclusions, nuclear grooves, powdery chromatin, true papillary cell clusters, ropy colloids, multinucleate giant cells, psammoma bodies, and cystic background) readily distinguished NIFTP from conventional PTC, but could not distinguish NIFTP from invasive FVPTC. The average total score of NIFTP, invasive FVPTC, and conventional PTC were 2.60 ± 0.55, 2.63 ± 0.62, and 4.57 ± 0.99, respectively. The difference between conventional PTC and NIFTP or invasive FVPTC was statistically significant (p < 0.001, Student's t-test). Individuals with more than three of the identified parameters likely harbor conventional PTC, rather than NIFTP. In this way, 87.5% (112/128) of conventional PTCs could be differentiated from NIFTP, and definitively diagnosed as malignant by cytology.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether single preoperative administration of 2 different doses of pregabalin (75 and 150 mg) could decrease postoperative pain intensity and opioid consumption following posterior lumbar interbody fusion surgery. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, active placebo-controlled, double-blinded study. SETTING: Postoperative recovery area and patients' room. PATIENTS: Ninety-seven adult, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1 and 2 patients. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were randomly assigned to receive diazepam 5 mg as an active placebo (D5), pregabalin 75 mg (P75), or pregabalin 150 mg (P150). The study drug was orally administered 2 hours prior to surgery and a standard anesthetic technique was used. Postoperative pain was managed using intravenous patient-controlled analgesia with morphine. MEASUREMENT: The visual analog scale at rest was used to measure pain intensity immediately after extubation at the postanesthesia care unit, and then 2, 4, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 hours after surgery. Morphine consumption and adverse effects were assessed until 48 hours after surgery. MAIN RESULTS: The visual analog scale score at rest was lower in the P150 group than in the D5 group until 2 hours after surgery. Morphine consumption was lower in the P150 group than in the D5 from 0 to 12 hours after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Single preoperative administration of 150 mg of pregabalin 2 hours prior to surgery reduced postoperative pain intensity and morphine consumption compared with 5 mg diazepam in patients who underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to identify whether reduced jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO(2)) in diabetic patients with impaired cerebrovascular carbon dioxide (CO(2)) reactivity could be improved by pulsatile perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and whether improved SjvO(2) could improve postoperative cognitive dysfunction after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. SETTING: A prospective, observational study. PARTICIPANTS: Ninety-nine diabetic patients with impaired CO(2) reactivity (< 3%/mmHg). INTERVENTIONS: Ninety-nine diabetic patients divided into 2 groups: group 1 received an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) after the induction of anesthesia and group 2 did not. Group 1 received pulsatile perfusion during CPB, and group 2 received nonpulsatile perfusion during CPB. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Hemodynamic data (arterial and jugular venous gas values) were measured during CPB. All patients underwent neurologic and neuropsychologic tests the day before surgery and 7 days and 6 months after surgery. The duration of SjvO(2) ≤50% during CPB was shorter in group 1 (13 ± 5 minutes) than in group 2 (20 ± 6 minutes, p < 0.01). No significant differences in the rate of cognitive dysfunction were observed between groups at 7 days and 6 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: Pulsatile perfusion flow generated by the IABP could reduce the decrease in SjvO(2) values during CPB, but amelioration of SjvO(2) values was not associated with short- or long-term postoperative cognitive dysfunction in diabetic patients with impaired CO(2) reactivity.

PURPOSE: Our intent was to identify whether cerebrovascular CO(2) reactivity in diabetic patients is a risk factor for postoperative cognitive dysfunction after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. METHODS: One hundred twenty-four diabetic patients undergoing elective CABG were studied and analyzed. Diabetic patients were divided into three groups: normal CO(2) reactivity group (above 5%/mmHg), medium CO(2) reactivity group (between 5 and 3%/mmHg), or impaired CO(2) reactivity group (below 3%/mmHg). After the induction of anesthesia and before the start of surgery, cerebrovascular CO(2) reactivity was measured for all patients. Hemodynamic parameters (arterial and jugular venous blood gas values) were measured during cardiopulmonary bypass. All patients underwent a battery of neurological and neuropsychological tests the day before surgery, 7 days after surgery, and 6 months after surgery. RESULTS: At 7 days, the rate of cognitive dysfunction in the impaired CO(2) group was higher than in the other three groups (normal, 30%; medium, 25%; impaired, 57%; *P < 0.01 compared with the other groups). In contrast, at 6 months postoperatively, no significant difference in the rate of cognitive dysfunction was found among the three groups. Age, hypertension, CO(2) reactivity, the duration for which jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO(2)) was less than 50%, ascending aorta atherosclerosis, diabetic retinopathy, and insulin therapy were independent predictors of short-term cognitive dysfunction in diabetic patients, and HbA1c, diabetic retinopathy, and insulin therapy were independent predictors of long-term cognitive dysfunction in diabetic patients. CONCLUSIONS: We found that impaired cerebrovascular CO(2) reactivity was associated with postoperative short-term cognitive dysfunction in diabetic patients.

PURPOSE: To identify whether the presence of preoperative depression in patients with diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for postoperative cognitive dysfunction after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. METHODS: Data from 90 patients with diabetes mellitus undergoing elective CABG were analyzed. Hemodynamic data (arterial and jugular venous blood gas values) were measured during cardiopulmonary bypass. Preoperatively, all patients were given the 21-item Beck depression inventory to identify the presence of depression. In addition, all patients underwent a battery of neurological and neuropsychological tests the day before surgery, 7 days after surgery, and 6 months after surgery. RESULTS: The rate of cognitive dysfunction was 50% at 7 days and 23% at 6 months after surgery. Age, hypertension, presence of depression, duration of SjvO(2) ≤ 50%, ascending aorta atherosclerosis, diabetic retinopathy, and insulin therapy were independent predictors of short-term cognitive dysfunction, whereas HbA1c, diabetic retinopathy, insulin therapy, and presence of depression were independent predictors of long-term cognitive dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS: We found that the presence of depression preoperatively is associated with short-term and long-term postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients with diabetes mellitus.

The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the extracts of 53 parts of 36 plant species cultivated for edible and medicinal use in Okinawa was investigated. The extract of Nandina domestica showed potent activity among these. The inhibitor in the extract was purified by assay-guided fractionation to give a simple phenol glucoside. Although it was a known compound (4-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxybenzoic acid), its inhibitory activity toward tyrosinase is revealed for the first time in this work.

OBJECTIVES: The mechanisms of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients with diabetes after coronary artery bypass grafting are not fully understood. We sought to determine which type 2 diabetes-related factors contributed to postoperative cognitive dysfunction at 7 days and 6 months after coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS: One hundred eighty patients with type 2 diabetes who were scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass grafting were studied. As a control group, 100 patients without diabetes mellitus matched for age, sex, and educational level were examined. Hemodynamic parameters (arterial and jugular venous blood gas values) were measured during cardiopulmonary bypass. All patients underwent a battery of neurologic and neuropsychologic tests the day before surgery, 7 days after surgery, and 6 months after surgery. RESULTS: Age (odds ratio 1.5, 95% confidence interval 1.3-1.8, P = .03), presence of hypertension (odds ratio 1.8, 95% confidence interval 1.3-2.0, P = .01), jugular venous oxygen saturation less than 50% time (odds ratio 1.5, 95% confidence interval 1.1-2.0, P = .045), presence of ascending aorta atherosclerosis (odds ratio 1.5, 95% confidence interval 1.1-2.6, P = .01), diabetic retinopathy (odds ratio 2.0, 95% confidence interval 1.3-3.0, P = .01), and insulin therapy (odds ratio 2.0, 95% confidence interval 1.3-3.0, P = .05), were associated with cognitive impairment at 7 days. Insulin therapy (odds ratio 2.0, 95% confidence interval 1.3-3.8, P = .01), diabetic retinopathy (odds ratio 1.3, 95% confidence interval 1.2-2.9, P < .01), and hemoglobin A 1c (odds ratio 1.9, 95% confidence interval 1.3-3.1, P = .047) were associated with cognitive impairment at 6 postoperative months. CONCLUSIONS: Insulin therapy, diabetic retinopathy, and hemoglobin A 1c were factors in cognitive impairment at 7 days and 6 months after coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with type 2 diabetes.

In this study, we examined whether cerebrovascular carbon dioxide (CO(2)) reactivity was related to the response of jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO(2)) to phenylephrine infusion in diabetic patients during cardiopulmonary bypass. Forty diabetic patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft surgery were studied, and 40 age-matched nondiabetic cardiopulmonary bypass patients served as controls. Cerebrovascular CO(2) reactivity was measured continuously using transcranial Doppler. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) was increased by repeated phenylephrine infusion until reaching 100% of baseline values. There was a significant difference in absolute CO(2) reactivity between the diabetic and control groups (controls, 2.8 +/- 0.7 cm. s(-1). mm Hg(-1); diabetics, 2.2 +/- 1.1 cm. s(-1). mm Hg(-1); P = 0.02). Among the diabetics, absolute CO(2) reactivity in insulin-dependent patients was less than that in noninsulin-dependent patients (diet therapy group, 3.2 +/- 0.7; glibenclamide group, 2.6 +/- 0.7; insulin-dependent group, 1.0 +/- 0.7; P < 0.01). There was a correlation between absolute CO(2) reactivity and the mean slope of SjvO(2) versus MAP for increasing MAP (r = 0.54; P < 0.0001). In conclusion, we found that the interrelationship between SjvO(2) responsiveness to phenylephrine infusion and cerebrovascular CO(2) reactivity, as well as impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation, were associated with previous hyperglycemia.

PURPOSE: Age is known to be a major risk factor for adverse postoperative cognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery. We conducted this study to determine if jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO(2)) differed during mild hypothermic (32 degrees C) and normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in elderly patients. METHODS: Sixty patients aged over 70 years who underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 ( n = 30) underwent normothermic CPB (>35 degrees C) and group 2 ( n = 30) underwent mild hypothermic CPB (32 degrees C). For the continuous monitoring of SjvO(2), a fiberoptic oximetry oxygen saturation catheter was inserted into the right jugular bulb after the induction of anesthesia. Hemodynamic parameters, and arterial and jugular venous blood gases were measured at seven time points. RESULTS: The SjvO(2) in the normothermic group was lower at the onset of CPB and 20 min after the onset, than from the time of induction of anesthesia until the start of surgery (period 1), the respective SjvO(2) values being 50.3% +/- 1.0%, 50.1% +/- 1.6%, and 59.5% +/- 1.9% ( P < 0.05). However, in the mild hypothermic group there were no changes in the SjvO(2) value throughout the study. The cerebral desaturation time (when the SjvO(2) value was <50%) and the ratio of the cerebral desaturation time to the total CPB time in the normothermic group differed significantly from those in the hypothermic group, being 19 +/- 11 min and 17% +/- 10%, and 9 +/- 3 min and 8% +/- 4%, respectively ( P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The SjvO(2) value was better during mild hypothermic CPB than during normothermic CPB in elderly patients.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To examine whether increasing mean arterial pressure (MAP) with the administration of phenylephrine would improve internal jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2) during normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in patients with preexisting stroke. DESIGN: Prospective, controlled study. SETTING: Cardiovascular center and university hospital. PATIENTS: 17 patients with preexisting stroke who were scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, and a control group of 17 age-matched patients without preexisting stroke. INTERVENTIONS: After the induction of anesthesia, a fiberoptic oximetry catheter was inserted into the right jugular bulb to monitor SjvO2. After measuring the baseline partial pressure of the arterial and jugular venous blood gases and cardiovascular hemodynamic values immediately before the start of the study protocol, MAP was increased by the repeated administration of a 10 microg bolus of phenylephrine, until it reached 200% of baseline values. MEASUREMENTS: Partial pressure of the arterial and jugular venous blood gases and cardiovascular hemodynamic values before and after the treatment were recorded. MAIN RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the groups in SjvO2 values at baseline (Mann-Whitney U test: p = 0.22). SjvO2 values in both groups were increased after the administration of phenylephrine (SjvO2 values in the control group: 60 +/- 5%, SjvO2 values in the stroke group: 57 +/- 5%). There was no significant difference between the stroke and control groups in SjvO2 values after the administration of phenylephrine (Mann-Whitney U test: p = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS: Increasing MAP improves SjvO2 in patients with or without preexisting stroke during normothermic CPB.

Adrenomedullin is a potent vasodilatory peptide. Plasma adrenomedullin (AM) concentrations increase during and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, the cause of this increase and its site of production have not been identified. We investigated the role of the hepatosplanchnic and cerebral circulations in the increase of plasma AM and investigated whether tissue hypoxygenation is a cause of the AM increase seen during CPB. We measured plasma total AM (AM-T) and the biologically active form of AM, mature AM (AM-m), in seven patients undergoing CPB. Both plasma AM-T and AM-m concentrations increased significantly 60 min after weaning from CPB. At this time point, arterial AM-T and AM-m concentrations were 18-fold and 10-fold larger, respectively, than baseline values measured after the induction of anesthesia. The plasma AM-m concentration and the ratio of AM-m/AM-T in blood from the hepatic vein were significantly larger than those from the radial artery or jugular bulb. The AM-m/AM-T ratio decreased during CPB, suggesting that production of the intermediate form of AM, AM-glycine, is more than that of AM-m. The oxygen tension of the hepatic venous blood (PhvO2) was significantly less during CPB. Plasma AM-m concentrations sampled from the hepatic vein showed a significant negative correlation with PhvO2 at 10 min (r = 0.824; P < 0.02) and 60 min (r = 0.828; P < 0.02) after the onset of CPB. These data suggest that the hepatosplanchnic circulation is an important source of AM-m during CPB. Furthermore, hypoxygenation of the hepatosplanchnic region may be an important cause of this AM-m increase.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to examine the comparative effects of propofol and fentanyl on cerebral oxygenation during normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass and postoperative cognitive dysfunction. METHODS: One hundred eighty patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass grafting were randomly divided into two groups: propofol group (n = 90) and fentanyl group (n = 90). After induction of anesthesia, a fiberoptic oximetry oxygen saturation catheter was inserted into the right jugular bulb to monitor jugular venous oxygen hemoglobin saturation continuously. Hemodynamic measurements and arterial and jugular venous blood gases were measured at seven time points. All patients underwent a battery of neurologic and neuropsychological tests on the day before the operation and at 6 months after the operation. RESULTS: Cerebral desaturation (defined as a jugular venous oxygen hemoglobin saturation value less than 50%) during cardiopulmonary bypass was more frequent in the fentanyl group than in the propofol group. Cerebral desaturation time (duration when jugular venous oxygen hemoglobin saturation was less than 50%) and the ratio of cerebral desaturation time to total cardiopulmonary bypass time in the fentanyl group differed significantly from those in the propofol group (fentanyl group: 27 +/- 14 minutes, 20% +/- 9%; propofol group: 18 +/- 11 minutes, 14% +/- 7%, respectively, p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative cognitive dysfunction at 6 months after operation between the two groups (propofol group: 5 of 77, 6%; fentanyl group: 5 of 75, 7%). CONCLUSIONS: Propofol preserved cerebral oxygenation state estimated by jugular venous oxygenation during cardiopulmonary bypass compared with the fentanyl group. However, propofol did not affect postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

UNLABELLED: Preexisting diabetes mellitus is one of the major factors related to adverse postoperative neurological disorders after cardiac surgery. In previous reports, we found that diabetic patients more often experienced cerebral desaturation than nondiabetic patients during normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of increasing mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) by the administration of phenylephrine on internal jugular venous oxygen hemoglobin saturation (SjvO2) during tepid CPB in diabetic patients. We studied 20 diabetic patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery and, as a control, 20 age-matched nondiabetic patients. After the induction of anesthesia, a fiberoptic oximetry catheter was inserted into the right jugular bulb to monitor SjvO2. After measuring the baseline partial pressure of the arterial and jugular venous blood gases and cardiovascular hemodynamic values, MAP was increased by the repeated administration of a 10-microg bolus of phenylephrine until it reached 100% of baseline values. There was a significant difference in SjvO2 value between the Diabetic and CONTROL GROUPs after the administration of phenylephrine (Diabetic group, 56% +/- 6%; CONTROL GROUP: 60% +/- 4%) (P < 0.05). There was a significant difference in the arterial-jugular oxygen content difference value between the Diabetic and CONTROL GROUPs after the administration of phenylephrine (diabetic group, 4.9% +/- 0.6%; CONTROL GROUP, 4.5% +/- 0.4%) (P < 0.05). We subdivided the Diabetic group into three groups (Diet Therapy group [n = 4], Glibenclamide group [n = 10], and Insulin-Dependent group [n = 6]). There was a significant difference in the mean slopes of SjvO2 versus cerebral perfusion pressure for increasing cerebral perfusion pressure between the Insulin-Dependent group and the other groups (Dunnett test: P = 0.04). Increasing MAP had no effects on the SjvO2 value in insulin-dependent patients during tepid CPB. IMPLICATIONS: We examined the effects of increasing mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) by the administration of phenylephrine on internal jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2) during tepid cardiopulmonary bypass in diabetic patients and found that increasing MAP had no effect on the SjvO2 value in insulin-dependent patients.

UNLABELLED: Hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) are more vulnerable to hypoxia or hypothermia than hepatocytes. To test the hypothesis that hepatic venous desaturation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) leads to impairment of SEC function, we studied the plasma kinetics of endogenous hyaluronate (HA), a sensitive indicator of SEC function, and hepatosplanchnic oxygenation during and after CPB. Twenty-five consecutive patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery, who underwent normothermic (>35 degrees C; n = 15) or mild hypothermic (32 degrees C; n = 10) CPB participated in this study. A hepatic venous catheter was inserted into each patient to monitor hepatosplanchnic oxygenation and serum levels of HA concentration. Hepatic venous oxygen saturation decreased essentially to a similar degree during normothermic and mild hypothermic CPB. Hepatosplanchnic oxygen consumption and extraction increased during normothermic (P < 0.05), but not mild hypothermic, CPB. Both arterial and hepatic venous HA concentrations showed threefold increases during and after CPB in both groups. A positive correlation was found between hepatosplanchnic oxygen consumption and arterial HA concentrations during CPB, suggesting a role of changes in hepatosplanchnic oxygen metabolism in the mechanisms of increases in serum HA concentrations. The failure of the liver to increase HA extraction to a great degree suggests that a functional impairment of the SEC may contribute to the observed increase of serum HA. IMPLICATIONS: Hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) are pivotal in the regulation of sinusoidal blood flow. This study showed that SEC function might be impaired during and after cardiopulmonary bypass, irrespective of the temperature management.

UNLABELLED: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of rewarming rate on internal jugular venous oxygen hemoglobin saturation (SjvO(2)) during the rewarming period, and long-term cognitive outcome in diabetic patients. We studied 30 diabetic patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery. As a control, 30 age-matched nondiabetic patients were identified. The diabetic patients were randomly divided into two groups: the Slow Rewarming group (n = 15) (mean rewarming speed: 0.22 degrees +/- 0.07 degrees C/min, mean +/- SD) or the Standard Rewarming group (Standard group) (n = 15) (mean rewarming speed: 0.46 degrees +/- 0.09 degrees C/min, mean +/- SD). After the induction of anesthesia, a fiberoptic oximetry catheter was inserted into the right jugular bulb to monitor SjvO(2) continuously. Hemodynamic variables and arterial and jugular venous blood gases were measured at nine time points. All patients underwent a battery of neurologic and neuropsychologic tests on the day before the operation and at 4 mo after surgery. The SjvO(2) values in the Standard group were decreased during the rewarming period compared with at the induction of anesthesia (P < 0.05). There was a significant difference in the SjvO(2) value in the Control group between standard rewarming and slow rewarming during rewarming periods (Standard Control group: 51% +/- 8%, Slow Control groups: 58% +/- 5%) (P < 0.05). However, there was no difference in the SjvO(2) value in diabetic patients between standard rewarming and slow rewarming during the rewarming period. The rewarming rates (odds ratio: 0.8; 95% confidence interval: 0.5-1.3; P = 0.6) had no correlation with cognitive impairment at 4 mo after the surgery. Diabetes (odds ratio: 1.6; 95% confidence interval: 0.9-2.6; P = 0.04) was a factor in relation to cognitive impairment at 4 mo after the surgery. We concluded that a slow rewarming rate had no effects on the reduction in SjvO(2) value and long-term cognitive outcome in diabetic patients. IMPLICATIONS: We examined the effects of rewarming rate on internal jugular venous oxygen hemoglobin saturation in diabetic and nondiabetic patients during the rewarming period and long-term cognitive outcome. Slow rewarming could not prevent the frequency of the reduction in internal jugular venous oxygen hemoglobin saturation and adverse cognitive outcome in diabetic patients.
