AI Article Synopsis

  • Patients with prior cardiac surgery facing acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) have worse clinical outcomes, particularly a higher mortality rate compared to those without prior surgery.
  • A systematic review of nine studies revealed significant differences in outcomes, including a notable reduction in mortality and reoperation rates for the non-prior surgery group.
  • The findings suggest that individuals with prior cardiac surgery experience longer cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and cross-clamp times, indicating a need for specialized strategies to enhance their treatment outcomes.

Article Abstract

Background: Patients with prior cardiac surgery undergoing acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) are thought to have worse clinical outcomes as compared to the patients without prior cardiac surgery.

Aim: To compare the safety and efficacy of ATAAD in patients with prior cardiac surgery.

Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar from database inception until April 2024. We included nine studies which consisted of a population of 524 in the prior surgery group and 5,249 in the non-prior surgery group. Our primary outcome was mortality. Secondary outcomes included reoperation for bleeding, myocardial infarction, stroke, renal failure, sternal wound infection, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, cross-clamp time, hospital stay, and ICU stay.

Results: Our pooled estimate shows a significantly lower rate of mortality in the non-prior cardiac surgery group compared to the prior cardiac surgery group (RR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.48-0.74). Among the secondary outcomes, the rate of reoperation for bleeding was significantly lower in the non-prior cardiac surgery group (RR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.50-0.88). Additionally, the non-prior cardiac surgery group had significantly shorter CPB time (MD = -31.06, 95% CI = -52.20 to -9.93) and cross-clamp time (MD = -21.95, 95% CI = -42.65 to -1.24). All other secondary outcomes were statistically insignificant.

Conclusion: Patients with prior cardiac surgery have a higher mortality rate as compared to patients who have not undergone cardiac surgery previously. Patients with prior cardiac surgery have higher mortality and longer CPB and cross-clamp times. Tailored strategies are needed to improve outcomes in this high-risk group.

Background: This study investigates the role of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-specific peptidase 5 (SENP5), a key regulator of SUMOylation, in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), a lethal disease, and its underlying molecular mechanisms.

Methods: Differentially expressed genes between ESCC mouse oesophageal cancer tissues and normal tissues were analysed via RNA-seq; among them, SENP5 expression was upregulated, and this gene was selected for further analysis. Immunohistochemistry and western blotting were then used to validate the increased protein level of SENP5 in both mouse and human ESCC samples.

: During the acute phase of COVID-19, a number of immunological abnormalities have been reported, but few studies longitudinally analyzed the specific subsets of peripheral blood lymphocytes. : In this observational, prospective, and longitudinal study, adult patients developing acute pneumonia during the COVID-19 pandemic have been followed up for 12 months. Peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets were assessed (with a specific focus on the memory markers) at 6 time points after the disease onset until 12 months.

Effect of Mediterranean Diet in Combination with Isokinetic Exercise Therapy on Body Composition and Cytokine Profile in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome.

Nutrients

Centro de Investigación en Ciencia Aplicada y Tecnología Avanzada Unidad Morelos, Instituto Polítecnico Nacional, Boulevard de la Tecnología, 1036 Z-1, P 2/2, Atlacholoaya 62790, Morelos, Mexico.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a combination of comorbidities that increase pro-inflammatory cytokines (PIC) production, with subsequent body composition (BC) abnormalities and high cardiovascular risk. Treatment with diet and exercise has been suggested as possible non-pharmacological adjuvant treatment.

Objective: To determine changes in BC and PIC in patients with MS after a Mediterranean-type diet (MedDiet) and/or isokinetic exercise (IE).

Dysregulation of Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Cardiovascular Diseases.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Cardiac Surgery, Michigan Medicine, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA.

Mitochondria dysfunction plays a central role in the development of vascular diseases as oxidative stress promotes alterations in mitochondrial morphology and function that contribute to disease progression. Redox imbalances can affect normal cellular processes including mitochondrial biogenesis, electrochemical equilibrium, and the regulation of mitochondrial DNA. In this review, we will discuss these imbalances and, in particular, the potential role of mitochondrial fusion, fission, biogenesis, and mitophagy in the context of vascular diseases and how the dysregulation of normal function might contribute to disease progression.

: New-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is the most common complication after cardiac surgery, occurring approximately in one-third of the patients. This study considered all-comer patients who underwent cardiac surgery to build a predictive model for POAF. : A total of 3467 (Center 1) consecutive patients were used as a derivation cohort to build the model.
