Background: Shedding of glycocalyx is relevant to worse prognosis in surgical patients, and elevated levels of serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) are associated with this phenomenon. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic alterations of serum glycocalyx components and MMP-9 during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and evaluate their predictive capacities for prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay, as well as their correlation with coagulation dysfunction.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed serum levels of syndecan-1, heparan sulfate (HS), and MMP-9 at different time points during CPB, and assessed their association with prolonged ICU stay and coagulation dysfunction.

Results: Syndecan-1, HS, and MMP-9 exhibited divergent changes during CPB. Serum levels of syndecan-1 (AUC = 78.0 %) and MMP-9 (AUC = 78.4 %) were validated as reliable predictors for prolonged ICU stay, surpassing the predictive value of creatinine (AUC = 70.0 %). Syndecan-1 (rho = 0.566, P < 0.01 at T1 and rho = 0.526, P < 0.01 at T2) and HS (rho = 0.403, P < 0.05 at T4) exhibited correlations with activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ratio beyond the normal range.

Conclusions: Our findings advocate the potential efficacy of serum glycocalyx components and MMP-9 as early predictive indicators for extended ICU stay following cardiac surgery with CPB. Additionally, we observed a correlation between glycocalyx disruption during CPB and coagulation dysfunction. Further studies with expansive cohorts are warranted to consolidate our findings and explore the predictive potential of other glycocalyx components.

Background: Kidney transplantation (KT) is the most effective treatment for end-stage renal disease. End-ischemic hypothermic machine perfusion (EI-HMP) has emerged as a promising method for preserving grafts before transplantation. This study aimed to compare graft function recovery in KT recipients of deceased brain-death (DBD) grafts preserved with EI-HMP versus static cold storage (SCS).

Bronchiolitis Severity Affects Blood Count and Inflammatory Marker Levels: A Real-Life Experience.

Viruses

January 2025

Pediatric Unit, Department of Human Pathology in Adult and Developmental Age "Gaetano Barresi", University of Messina, Via Consolare Valeria 1, 98124 Messina, Italy.

Background: Bronchiolitis is the most common cause of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in the first year of life. We analyzed the association between complete blood count (CBC), c-reactive protein (CRP), and novel inflammatory indexes (NLR, PLR, MLR, ELR, LMR, NPR, LPR, LNR, PNR, SII, SIRI) in predicting bronchiolitis severity at hospital admission.

Methods: We retrospectively collected data from 95 infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis in a third-level hospital during three epidemic seasons.

Background: Preterm infants (PIs) are more susceptible to neurodevelopmental impairment compared with term newborns. Adequate postnatal growth has been associated with improved neurocognitive outcomes; therefore, optimization of nutrition may positively impact the neurodevelopment of PIs.

Objective: This study focused on macronutrient parenteral nutrition (PN) intake during the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit stay and their associations with neurodevelopmental outcomes in PIs in the first two years of life.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) carries significant mortality and disability rates, with rebleeding posing a grave risk, particularly in anterior communicating artery (AcoA) aneurysms. This retrospective study aims to analyze preoperative and intraoperative variables of patients with ruptured AcoA aneurysms, evaluating the association of these variables with patient outcomes using machine learning techniques, proposing a prognostic score. : A retrospective study was conducted on 50 patients who underwent microsurgical clipping for a ruptured AcoA aneurysm at San Giovanni Bosco Hospital, Turin, Italy.

The lactate dehydrogenase to albumin ratio (LAR) is a novel inflammatory marker and a potential predictor of mortality in various conditions. No research has yet examined LAR's impact on mortality in cardiac surgery patients. This study evaluated LAR's role in predicting mortality and complications in isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients.
