Advances in understanding the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on gut microbiota during cardiac surgery.

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is an indispensable technique in cardiac surgery; however, its impact on gut microbiota and metabolites remains insufficiently studied. CPB may disrupt the intestinal mucosal barrier, altering the composition and function of gut microbiota, thereby triggering local immune responses and systemic inflammation, which may lead to postoperative complications. This narrative review examines relevant literature from PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and CNKI databases over the past decade.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains an obstacle for delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to gliomas. High grade and recurrent gliomas continue to portend a poor prognosis. Multiple methods of bypassing or manipulating the BBB have been explored, including hyperosmolar therapy, convection-enhanced delivery (CED), laser-guided interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), and Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) to enhance delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to glial neoplasms.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate preoperative factors associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) utilization and outcomes for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and tumour thrombus (TT). Radical nephrectomy with thrombectomy is a standard treatment for patients with RCC and associated TT. Morbidity and mortality rates tend to correlate with aggressiveness of tumour and TT level.

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) occurs in the advanced stage of peripheral artery disease and is associated with high risks of mortality and amputation. Universal management strategies are not always applicable, owing to population diversity, and the Western trials may not be applicable to Japanese patients, owing to differences in demographics and clinical profiles. This paper examines the outcomes of revascularization in Japanese CLTI patients and emphasizes the benefits of tailored management.
