AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the immune response influenced by lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) and soluble CD14 (sCD14) in patients undergoing total hip replacement surgery.
- Blood samples were collected before and after surgery to measure levels of LBP and sCD14, along with inflammatory cytokines.
- The results showed increased levels of LBP at 24 hours and peaking at 3 days post-surgery, indicating a primed immune response due to the surgical trauma.
Article Abstract
Background: Danger patterns and pattern recognition receptors have been targets in the investigation and treatment of systemic inflammatory response syndrome and sepsis. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein (LBP) presents LPS and gram-positive bacterial cell wall products to the receptors TLR4/MD-2 and TLR2, respectively. Low concentrations of LBP stimulate responses to LPS and peptidoglycan, whereas higher concentrations inhibit these responses. Soluble CD14 (sCD14) presents the LBP-LPS complex to CD14-negative cells, and it modulates the biological activity of circulating LPS. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the physiological reactions to LBP and sCD14 after total hip replacement surgery during spinal/epidural anaesthesia.
Methods: Seven patients with coxarthrosis were operated upon with a total hip replacement, which is a defined trauma to bone and muscles in conjunction with a certain amount of blood loss. Venous blood samples were taken before the operation and at 1 h, 3 days and 6 days after surgery. LBP and sCD14 were measured by conventional ELISA. To correct for hemodilution, each parameter was adjusted for hematocrit. A panel of cytokines was measured using Luminex technology to evaluate the trauma reaction.
Results: IL-6 levels peaked 24 h after the operation, whereas IL-1β and IL-10 levels remained unchanged. Systemic levels of LBP were increased 24 h after surgery, whereas sCD14 remained steady. However, the dilution-corrected sCD14 values increased significantly, and the levels of both LBP and sCD14 peaked at day 3 after surgery.
Conclusion: Aseptic trauma primes the innate immune system for the posttraumatic release of LBP and sCD14.

Multifunctional dietary approach reduces intestinal inflammation in relation with changes in gut microbiota composition in subjects at cardiometabolic risk: the SINFONI project.
Gut Microbes

The development of cardiometabolic (CM) diseases is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, partly linked to alterations of the gut microbiota (GM) and reduced intestinal integrity. The SINFONI project investigates a multifunctional (MF) nutritional strategy's impact combining different bioactive compounds on inflammation, GM modulation and CM profile. In this randomized crossover-controlled study, 30 subjects at CM-risk consumed MF cereal-products, enriched with polyphenols, fibers, slowly-digestible starch, omega-3 fatty acids or Control cereal-products (without bioactive compounds) for 2 months.

Background/objectives: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radical gastrectomy is the current standard approach for locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) in the West. Both NAC and gastrectomy can significantly influence the gut microbiome, potentially leading to clinically significant changes. However, no longitudinal studies to date support this hypothesis.

Article Synopsis
- Antiretroviral therapy (ART) helps suppress HIV but doesn't fully normalize cytokine levels; long-term effects of ART on these immune markers haven't been thoroughly researched.
- A study tracked 31 men and 59 women on ART for an average of 6 years, measuring changes in 40 cytokines/chemokines, finding that while most stayed stable, certain markers decreased over time, while others increased.
- Results showed sex and race differences in specific cytokine levels, with women exhibiting higher innate immune activation; overall, ART may reduce inflammation and lower the risk of diseases related to cardiovascular health.
Cognotoxemia: endotoxemia and gender predict changes in working memory performance in healthy adults.
Front Neurosci

Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO, United States.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how endotoxemia, a pro-inflammatory response from gut bacteria entering the bloodstream, affects cognitive functions in healthy adults, particularly focusing on working memory improvement over time.
- Conducted with 162 participants aged 25-65, the research involved measuring endotoxemia levels and evaluating cognitive performance at three points over nine months.
- Results indicated that lower endotoxemia predicted better working memory enhancement, but interestingly, men with higher endotoxemia had better overall working memory performance, while women's performance remained consistent regardless of endotoxemia levels.

Article Synopsis
- Individuals with long-term type 1 diabetes may have an increased risk of heart issues due to inflammation caused by gut microbiota entering the bloodstream, leading to atherosclerosis.
- A study involving 102 people with type 1 diabetes and 63 controls measured several biomarkers related to gut inflammation and assessed coronary atherosclerosis using advanced imaging techniques.
- The results indicated that higher levels of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) were linked to significant coronary artery blockages, suggesting it could be a potential marker for heart disease in diabetes patients.
