RESUMEN
Background and purpose: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common serious complication in sepsis patients with a high mortality rate. This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for sepsis associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI). Methods: In our study, we retrospectively constructed a development cohort comprising 733 septic patients admitted to eight Grade-A tertiary hospitals in Shanghai from January 2021 to October 2022. Additionally, we established an external validation cohort consisting of 336 septic patients admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to December 2019. Risk predictors were selected by LASSO regression, and a corresponding nomogram was constructed. We evaluated the model's discrimination, precision and clinical benefit through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration plots, decision curve analysis (DCA) and clinical impact curves (CIC) in both internal and external validation. Results: AKI incidence was 53.2% in the development cohort and 48.2% in the external validation cohort. The model included five independent indicators: chronic kidney disease stages 1 to 3, blood urea nitrogen, procalcitonin, D-dimer and creatine kinase isoenzyme. The AUC of the model in the development and validation cohorts was 0.914 (95% CI, 0.894-0.934) and 0.923 (95% CI, 0.895-0.952), respectively. The calibration plot, DCA, and CIC demonstrated the model's favorable clinical applicability. Conclusion: We developed and validated a robust nomogram model, which might identify patients at risk of SA-AKI and promising for clinical applications.

Purpose: Infection with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a great challenge. Central nervous system (CNS) infection caused by CRKP is rarely reported, and effective treatment is limited. Thus, this study aimed to assess intrathecal (IT) or intraventricular (IVT) injection of tigecycline for clearing infection with CRKP in CNS. Patients and Methods: Two patients who had intracranial infection with CRKP after craniotomy were treated in our institution and analyzed retrospectively, summarizing their therapeutic schedules. Results: They all had a fever with the positive results of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) test, and CSF culture showed positive for CPKP, which was sensitive only to tigecycline. In addition, the MIC of polymyxin B was not tested due to the limited laboratory conditions. After IT or IVT injection of tigecycline treatment, the temperature of the patients became normal in 3 days, with normal levels of white blood cells, protein, glucose and chlorine concentrations in the CSF. Crucially, twice CSF cultures also became negative with no clinical symptoms of intracranial infection after IT or IVT injection of tigecycline treatment. Moreover, there were no adverse drug reactions observed. Conclusion: IT or IVT injection of tigecycline may be a bright choice to control intracranial infection with CRKP.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To find the predictors for persistent inflammation-immunosuppression catabolism syndrome in ICU surgical septic patients. DESIGN: Single center observation study. PARTICIPANTS: Inclusion: 1) patients ≥18, 2) admitted to the ICU after major surgery or transferred to the ICU within 48 hours after the diagnosis of sepsis following the definition of sepsis-3.0. Exclusion: 1) pregnant or lactating patients, 2) patients with severe immune deficiency, 3) patients that expired within 14 days after the diagnosis of sepsis. RESULTS: A total of 169 participants were included. After propensity score matching, PICS patients were found to have higher intensive care unit (ICU) mortality (32.4% vs 12.4%, p=0.046), 90-day mortality (32.4% vs 9.1%, p=0.006), and ICU-acquired infection rate (44.1% vs 12.7%, p<0.001), and longer ICU stays (29 vs 11 days, p<0.001) comparing to non-PICS patients. In multivariate logistic regression, it demonstrated that the SOFA score, Charlson co-morbidity index (CCI), albumin level on the ICU day 1, and lymphocyte count on the ICU day 3 were statistically significant. Sensitivity analysis was conducted with the receiver operating characteristic curve for a combination of the four parameters and the area under the curve was 0.838 (95% confidence interval 0.774-0.901). CONCLUSION: The chronic disease condition and decreased immunity in the early course of sepsis were crucial for PICS. The combination of CCI, SOFA score, albumin level on ICU Day 1 and lymphocyte count on ICU Day 3 can be early predictor for PICS.
RESUMEN
For patients with sepsis and septic shock, it remains controversial when to restrict fluid intake and achieve a negative fluid balance. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of the fluid intake volume during the first 24 h as well as fluid balance for 7 days on the prognosis of sepsis or septic shock. A total of 337 patients diagnosed with sepsis or septic shock at Ruijin Hospital (Shanghai, China) were enrolled in the present retrospective study. Patients with a low fluid intake volume during the first 24 h (fluid intake, 28.1±10.6 ml/kg) had lower in-hospital mortality rates (18.0 vs. 27.3%, P=0.043) and a shorter duration of mechanical ventilation [0 (0-6) vs. 3 (0-11), P=0.025] than the high-fluid volume intake group (62.6±17.6 ml/kg). Furthermore, survivors exhibited a daily negative net fluid balance from the second day (48 h), whereas non-survivors had a daily positive net fluid balance for 7 days, where fluid balance volumes were significantly lower in survivors compared with those in non-survivors. Finally, binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine whether the mean daily fluid balance (P<0.001) and the Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation II score (P=0.048) were independent prognostic factors for patients with sepsis or septic shock. It was indicated that a low fluid intake volume during the first 24 h and a persistent negative fluid balance from the second day were associated with favorable outcomes. The mean daily fluid balance was an independent prognostic factor or patients with sepsis or septic shock.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Fluid management is crucial to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to sepsis. However, choices of fluid resuscitation strategies and fluid input volumes remain a thorny problem. Our study aimed to elucidate the relationship between fluid balance and prognosis of ARDS patients secondary to sepsis. METHODS: Our study included 322 sepsis patients from Ruijin Hospital between 2014 and 2018, and 84 patients were diagnosed as ARDS within 72 hours after onset of sepsis according to Berlin ARDS Definition. RESULTS: Among the 322 sepsis patients, 84 (26.1%) were complicated with ARDS within 72 hours. ARDS patients had a lower oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2 166.4±71.0 vs. 255.0±91.2, P<0.05), longer duration of mechanical ventilation (11 [6-24] days vs. 0 [0-0] days, P<0.05) than those without ARDS. Sepsis patients with ARDS showed daily positive net fluid balance during seven days compared with those without ARDS who showed daily negative net fluid balance since the second day with significant statistical differences. Among the 84 sepsis patients with ARDS, 58 (69.0%) died. Mean daily fluid input volumes were much lower in survivors than in non-survivors (43.2±16.7 mL/kg vs. 51.0±25.2 mL/kg, P<0.05) while output volumes were much higher in survivors (45.2±19.8 mL/kg vs. 40.2±22.7 mL/kg, P<0.05). Using binary logistic regression analysis, we found that the mean daily fluid balance was independently associated with mortality of sepsis patients complicating with ARDS (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Early negative fluid balance is independently associated with a better prognosis of sepsis patients complicated with ARDS.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The relationship between macrocirculation and microcirculation remains controversial. The loss of coherence between microcirculation and macrocirculation has already been found in late-stage sepsis shock. The objective of this study was to determine the earliest possible time of detecting the loss of coherence between microcirculation and macrocirculation in early-stage endotoxemic shock. METHODS: We randomized 24 female New Zealand white rabbits into two groups: endotoxemic shock group (nâ=â14) and control group (nâ=â10). Rabbits in the endotoxemic shock group were equipped with arterial and venous catheters and received an intravenous infusion of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 2 mg/kg over 10 min). Rabbits in the control group received the same dose of saline infusion. Microcirculatory perfusion parameters were assessed in the sublingual mucosa using sidestream dark-field video microscopy. Systemic hemodynamics and blood lactate levels were measured at baseline and over a 120-min period. RESULTS: Ninety minutes after completing LPS infusion, all animals in the endotoxemic shock group developed a hypodynamic septic condition, characterized by low cardiac output and increased systemic vascular resistance; 120 min after completing LPS infusion, the mean arterial pressure decreased by 25% (Pâ=â0.01), confirming ongoing endotoxemic shock. However, significant decreases in sublingual microcirculatory parameters of small vessels (microvascular flow index, perfused vessel density, and proportion of small perfused vessels) were observed 30 min after completing LPS infusion (Pâ=â0.01, for all), and threshold decreases of 30% were found 60 min after completing LPS infusion (Pâ=â0.001, for all) in the endotoxemic shock group. Lactate levels significantly increased to more than 2 mm/L at 90 min and more than 4 mm/L at 120 min in the endotoxemic shock group (Pâ=â0.02 and Pâ=â0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Changes in microcirculatory perfusion precede changes in macrocirculation and lactate levels in a rabbit model of endotoxemia shock. Microcirculation, macrocirculation, and oxygen metabolism are distinct in early-stage endotoxic shock.

PURPOSE: It has been reported that approximately 40% of ALI (acute lung injury) incidence resulted from sepsis. Paclitaxel, as a classic anti-cancer drug, plays an important role in the regulation of inflammation. However, we do not know whether it has a protective effect against CLP (cecal ligation and puncture)-induced septic ALI. Our study aims to illuminate the mitigative effects of paclitaxel on sepsis-induced ALI and its relevant mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The survival rates and organ injuries were used to evaluate the effects of paclitaxel on CLP mice. The levels of inflammatory cytokines were tested by ELISA. MUC1 siRNA pre-treatment was used to knockdown MUC1 expression in vitro. GO203 was used to inhibit the homodimerization of MUC1-C in vivo. The expression levels of MUC1, TLR 4 and p-NF-κB/p65 were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: Our results showed that paclitaxel improved the survival rates and ameliorated organ injuries especially lung injury in CLP-induced septic mice. These were accompanied by reduced inflammatory cytokines in sera and BALF (bronchoalveolar lavage fluid). We also found paclitaxel could attenuate TLR 4-NF-κB/p65 activation both in lung tissues of septic mice and LPS-stimulated lung type II epithelial cell line A549. At the upstream level, paclitaxel-upregulated expression levels of MUC1 in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. The inhibitory effects of paclitaxel on TLR 4-NF-κB/p65 activation were reversed in lung tissues of septic mice pre-treated with MUC1 inhibitor and in MUC1-knockdown A549 cells. Protection of paclitaxel on sepsis-induced ALI and decrease of inflammatory cytokines were also abolished by inhibition of MUC1. CONCLUSION: Collectively, these results indicated paclitaxel could significantly alleviate acute lung injury in CLP-induced septic mice and LPS-stimulated lung type II epithelial cell line A549 by activating MUC1 and suppressing TLR-4/NF-κB pathway.

BACKGROUND: The Atlanta criteria for acute pancreatitis (AP) has been revised recently. This study was to evaluate its practical value in classification of AP, the severity assessment and management. METHODS: The clinical features, severity classification, outcome and risk factors for mortality of 3212 AP patients who had been admitted in Ruijin Hospital from 2004 to 2011 were analyzed based on the revised Atlanta criteria (RAC) and the original Atlanta criteria (OAC). RESULTS: Compared to the OAC group, the incidence of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) was decreased by approximately one half (13.9% vs 28.2%) in the RAC group. The RAC presented a lower sensitivity but higher specificity, and its predictive value for severity and poor outcome was higher than those of the OAC. The proportion of SAP diagnosis and ICU admission in the early phase in the RAC group was significantly lower than that in the OAC group (P<0.05). Based on the RAC, the risk factors for death among SAP patients were older age, high CT severity index (CTSI), renal failure, cardiovascular failure, acute necrotic collection and walled-off necrosis. Compared to the OAC, the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score, Ranson score, idiopathic etiology, respiratory failure and laparotomy debridement were not risk factors of death in contrast to walled-off necrosis. Interestingly, hypertriglyceridemia-related SAP had good outcomes in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: The RAC showed a higher predictive value for severity and poorer outcome than the OAC. However, the RAC resulted in fewer ICU admissions in the early phase due to its lower sensitivity for diagnosis of SAP. Among SAP cases, older age, high CTSI, renal and cardiovascular failure, complications of acute necrotic collection and walled-off necrosis were independent risk factors for mortality.

BACKGROUND: This study investigated the correlation between the expression of the Las and Rhl quorum-sensing (QS) systems and the communal behavior (motility, biofilm formation, and pyocyanin production) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) isolated from patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia. METHODS: We analyzed 138 P. aeruginosa isolates from 48 patients (30 men and 18 women; age 68.18±15.08 years). P. aeruginosa clinical isolates were assessed for Las and Rhl gene expression and bacterial motility, biofilm formation, and pyocyanin production. RESULTS: P. aeruginosa swimming, twitching, and swarming motility positively correlated with the expression of LasI, LasR, and RhlI (P<0.05) but not with that of RhlR (P>0.05). At all analyzed time points, a significant positive correlation was found between biofilm formation and the expression of LasI, LasR (P<0.01), and RhlI (P<0.05 for day 1, P<0.01 for days 7 and 14), whereas RhlR expression positively correlated with biofilm formation only on day 14 (P<0.05). On days 1 and 7, positive correlation was observed between pyocyanin production and the levels of LasI and RhlI (P<0.05). In bacterial clearance cases, the expression of QS-related genes and the group behavior of the pathogen did not correlate (P>0.05). However, in cases of persistent P. aeruginosa infection, the changes in LasI and LasR gene expression were positively correlated with those in bacterial motility (P<0.05), and the changes in LasI, LasR, RhlI, and RhlR expression showed a significant positive association with those in biofilm formation (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia, the expression of the Las and Rhl QS genes was associated with bacterial motility, biofilm formation, and pyocyanin production, suggesting an involvement of the QS genes in the clearance of pathogenic P. aeruginosa in patients.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Since February 2013, a novel reassortant H7N9 virus associated with human deaths, but no apparent outbreaks in poultry and wild birds has emerged in eastern China. OBJECTIVES: The potential reemergence of H7N9 during next year's influenza season demand a further understanding of this important disease. METHODS: Between March 1 and April 30, 2013, we obtained and analyzed clinical, epidemiologic and radiologic features, and virologic data from three laboratory-confirmed patients of A H7N9 infection admitted in Shanghai Ruijin Hospital. RESULTS: All patients were middle to old aged (mean age 62 years) and overweight (mean body mass index 31) patients. Two patients were exposed to poultry directly or indirectly in food market. They presented with fever and rapidly progressive pneumonia that did not respond to antibiotics. Time between onset of symptoms and onset of respiratory failure (days) were 7-11 days. Two patients presented secondary invasive bacterial infections. All patients died on day 7 to day 86 after the onset of symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Cross species poultry-to-person transmission of this new reassortant avian influenza H7N9 virus can result in severe and fatal respiratory disease like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in humans. Reduplicate chest imaging examination is suggested for risky patients with fever and dyspnea. Secondary invasive bacterial infections and pneumothorax can cause severe and fatal consequence. Old age, obesity and presence of comorbidity may be associated with increased mortality. Pulmonary fibrosis can be seen at late stage of the disease.

BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) is an important and emerging hospital-acquired pathogen worldwide. This study was conducted to identify the sources of MDRAB and its role in respiratory tract colonization and nosocomial pneumonia in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. METHODS: We conducted a prospective active surveillance study of MDRAB in three ICUs at a Chinese Hospital from April to August 2011, to identify the sources of MDRAB and its role in respiratory tract colonization and nosocomial pneumonia. RESULTS: One hundred and fourteen (13.0%) MDRAB isolates were detected from 876 specimens, with a sensitivity of 11.6% (55/474) in screening of the pharyngeal and tracheal swabs, and 14.7% (59/402) of the sputum/endotracheal aspirates. MDRAB colonization/infection was found in 34 (26.8%) of 127 patients, including 16 (12.6%) cases of pure colonization and 18 (14.2%) cases of pneumonia (two pre-ICU-acquired cases of pneumonia and 16 ICU-acquired cases of pneumonia). Previous respiratory tract MDRAB colonization was found in 22 (17.3%) patients: eight (6.3%) were pre-ICU-acquired colonization and 14 (11.0%) ICU-acquired colonization. Of eight pre-ICU-colonized patients, five were transferred from other wards or hospitals with hospitalization > 72 hours, and three came from the community with no previous hospitalization. Overall, 6/22 colonized patients presented with secondary pneumonia; only two (9.1%) colonized MDRAB strains were associated with secondary infections. Respiratory tract MDRAB colonization had no significant relationship with nosocomial pneumonia (P = 0.725). In addition, acute respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, renal failure, and prior carbapenem use were risk factors for MDRAB colonization/infection. CONCLUSIONS: A high proportion of cases of MDRAB colonization/infection in ICU patients were detected through screening cultures. About one-third were acquired from general wards and the community before ICU admission. The low incidence of MDRAB colonization-related pneumonia questions the appropriateness of targeted antibiotic therapy.

BACKGROUND: During the spring of 2013, a novel avian-origin influenza A (H7N9) virus emerged and spread among humans in China. Data were lacking on the clinical characteristics of the infections caused by this virus. METHODS: Using medical charts, we collected data on 111 patients with laboratory-confirmed avian-origin influenza A (H7N9) infection through May 10, 2013. RESULTS: Of the 111 patients we studied, 76.6% were admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU), and 27.0% died. The median age was 61 years, and 42.3% were 65 years of age or older; 31.5% were female. A total of 61.3% of the patients had at least one underlying medical condition. Fever and cough were the most common presenting symptoms. On admission, 108 patients (97.3%) had findings consistent with pneumonia. Bilateral ground-glass opacities and consolidation were the typical radiologic findings. Lymphocytopenia was observed in 88.3% of patients, and thrombocytopenia in 73.0%. Treatment with antiviral drugs was initiated in 108 patients (97.3%) at a median of 7 days after the onset of illness. The median times from the onset of illness and from the initiation of antiviral therapy to a negative viral test result on real-time reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction assay were 11 days (interquartile range, 9 to 16) and 6 days (interquartile range, 4 to 7), respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the presence of a coexisting medical condition was the only independent risk factor for the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (odds ratio, 3.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.21 to 9.70; P=0.02). CONCLUSIONS: During the evaluation period, the novel H7N9 virus caused severe illness, including pneumonia and ARDS, with high rates of ICU admission and death.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE(S): We investigated whether CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) are induced in patients suffering from early-stage septic shock and distinguish them from noninfectious patients with systemic inflammatory response. METHODS: The study included 37 patients with early-stage septic shock, 15 patients with noninfectious systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and 24 heath controls. We prospectively assayed the fraction of Tregs expressing high levels of CD25 and forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) as well as the plasma levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and soluble CD25 in all the subjects studied. RESULTS: Compared with the control groups, the plasma levels of IFN-γ [66.10 (45.23-85.08) pg/mL vs. 20.97 (17.58-26.21) pg/mL, p < 0.001] and IL-4 [100.69 (77.41-127.68) pg/mL vs. 70.40 (64.14-80.15) pg/mL, p < 0.001] as well as the IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio [0.66 (0.62-0.67) vs. 0.30 (0.27-0.33), p < 0.001] were significantly elevated in the patients with early-stage septic shock, but there was no difference between patients with sepsis and patients with SIRS. We found that the proportion of CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) T cells was significantly increased in the patients with early-stage septic shock [(66.82 ± 21.79%) vs. (51.79 ± 21.79%) vs. (56.45 ± 10.68%), p = 0.003] in comparison with the SIRS and control groups, which could be differentiated from the patients with SIRS. The plasma levels of soluble CD25 were also increased, and positively correlated with the proportion of Tregs in patients with early-stage septic shock (Spearman correlation coefficient = 0.390, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that the proportion of CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) T cells could be an indicator for the early diagnosis of sepsis. This proportion can also facilitate the evaluation of the patient's immune status and guide suitable immunoregulatory therapy.
