Effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on neurological injury markers and prognosis in patients with acute and severe carbon monoxide poisoning / 中华劳动卫生职业病杂志

Objective: To observe the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on nerve injury markers and prognosis in patients with acute severe carbon monoxide poisoning (ASCOP) . Methods: In May 2021, 103 ASCOP patients were treated in the emergency department of Harrison International Peace Hospital of Hebei Medical University from November 2020 to January 2021. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they received tDCS treatment. The control group (50 cases) were given oxygen therapy (hyperbaric oxygen and oxygen inhalation) , reducing cranial pressure, improving brain circulation and cell metabolism, removing oxygen free radicals and symptomatic support, and the observation group (53 cases) was treated with 2 weeks of tDCS intensive treatment on the basis of conventional treatment. All patients underwent at least 24 h bispectral index (BIS) monitoring, BIS value was recorded at the hour and the 24 h mean value was calculated. Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and serum S100B calcium-binding protein (S100B) were detected after admission, 3 d, 7 d and discharge. Follow-up for 60 days, the incidence and time of onset of delayed encephalopathy (DEACMP) with acute carbon monoxide poisoning in the two groups were recorded. Results: The NSE and S100B proteins of ASCOP patients were significantly increased at admission, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P=0.711, 0.326) . The NSE and S100B proteins were further increased at 3 and 7 days after admission. The increase in the observation group was slower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P(3 d)=0.045, 0.032, P(7 d)=0.021, 0.000) ; After 14 days, it gradually decreased, but the observation group decreased rapidly compared with the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P=0.009, 0.025) . The 60 day follow-up results showed that the incidence of DEACMP in the observation group was 18.87% (10/53) , compared with 38.00% (19/50) in the control group (P=0.048) ; The time of DEACMP in the observation group[ (16.79±5.28) d] was later than that in the control group[ (22.30±5.42) d], and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.013) . Conclusion: The early administration of tDCS in ASCOP patients can prevent the production of NSE and S100B proteins, which are markers of nerve damage. and can improve the incidence and time of DEACMP.

S100B level and cognitive dysfunction after robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy procedures: a prospective observational study / Nível de S100B e disfunção cognitiva após prostatectomia radical laparoscópica assistida por robô: estudo observacional prospectivo

Abstract Background: The present study investigated the association between Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD) and increased serum S100B level after Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (RALRP). Methods: The study included 82 consecutive patients who underwent RALRP. Serum S100B levels were determined preoperatively, after anesthesia induction, and at 30 minutes and 24 hours postoperatively. Cognitive function was assessed using neuropsychological testing preoperatively, and at 7 days and 3 months postoperatively. Results: Twenty four patients (29%) exhibited POCD 7 days after surgery, and 9 (11%) at 3 months after surgery. Serum S100B levels were significantly increased at postoperative 30 minutes and 24 hours in patients displaying POCD at postoperative 7 days (p = 0.0001 for both) and 3 months (p = 0.001 for both) compared to patients without POCD. Duration of anesthesia was also significantly longer in patients with POCD at 7 days and 3 months after surgery compared with patients without POCD (p = 0.012, p = 0.001, respectively), as was duration of Trendelenburg (p = 0.025, p = 0.002, respectively). Composite Z score in tests performed on day 7 were significantly correlated with duration of Trendelenburg and duration of anesthesia (p = 0.0001 for both). Conclusions: S100B increases after RALRP and this increase is associated with POCD development. Duration of Trendelenburg position and anesthesia contribute to the development of POCD. Trial Registry Number: Clinicaltrials.gov (N° NCT03018522).

Resumo Introdução: O presente estudo investigou a associação entre Disfunção Cognitiva Pós-Operatória (DCPO) e aumento do nível sérico de S100B após Prostatectomia Radical Laparoscópica Assistida por Robô (PRLAR). Métodos: O estudo incluiu 82 pacientes consecutivos submetidos à PRLAR. Os níveis séricos de S100B foram determinados: no pré-operatório, após indução anestésica, e aos 30 minutos e 24 horas do pós-operatório. A função cognitiva foi avaliada com testes neuropsicológicos no pré-operatório, no 7° dia pós-operatório (7 DPO) e aos 3 meses após a cirurgia (3 MPO). Resultados: Observamos 24 pacientes (29%) com DCPO no 7 DPO e 9 pacientes com DCPO (11%) após 3 meses da cirurgia. Quando comparados com os pacientes sem DCPO, os níveis séricos de S100B estavam significantemente aumentados aos 30 minutos e às 24 horas do pós-operatório nos pacientes que apresentaram DCPO no 7 DPO (p= 0,0001 para os dois momentos) e 3 meses após a cirurgia (p= 0,001 para os dois momentos) A duração anestésica também foi significantemente maior em pacientes com DCPO no 7 DPO e 3 MPO em comparação com pacientes sem DCPO (p= 0,012, p= 0,001, respectivamente), assim como a duração da posição de Trendelenburg (p= 0,025, p= 0,002, respectivamente). O escore Z composto nos testes realizados no 7 DPO foi significantemente correlacionado com a duração da posição de Trendelenburg e a duração da anestesia (p= 0,0001 para ambos). Conclusão: S100B aumenta após PRLAR e o aumento está associado ao desenvolvimento de DCPO. A duração anestésica e o tempo decorrido em posição de Trendelenburg contribuem para o desenvolvimento de DCPO. Número de registro do estudo: Clinicaltrials.gov (n° NCT03018522)

Effect of periapical inflammation on calcium binding proteins and ERK in the trigeminal nucleus / Efecto de la inflamación periapical sobre las proteínas fijadoras de calcio y ERK en el núcleo trigeminal

Peripheral inflammation induces plastic changes in neurons and glia which are regulated by free calcium and calcium binding proteins (CaBP). One of the mechanisms associated with the regulation of intracellular calcium is linked to ERK (Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase) and its phosphorylated condition (pERK). ERK phosphorylation is important for intracellular signal transduction and participates in regulating neuroplasticity and inflammatory responses. The aim of this study is to analyse the expression of two CaBPs and pERK in astrocytes and neurons in rat trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (Vc) after experimental periapical inflammation on the left mandibular first molar. At seven days post-treatment, the periapical inflammatory stimulus induces an increase in pERK expression both in S100b positive astrocytes and Calbindin D28k positive neurons, in the ipsilateral Vc with respect to the contralateral side and control group. pERK was observed coexpressing with S100b in astrocytes and in fusiform Calbindin D28k neurons in lamina I. These results could indicate that neural plasticity and pain sensitization could be maintained by ERK activation in projection neurons at 7 days after the periapical inflammation.

La inflamación periférica induce cambios plásticos en las neuronas y en la glía, los cuales están regulados por el calcio libre y las proteínas fijadoras calcio (CaBP). Uno de los mecanismos asociados con la regulación del calcio intrace-lular está vinculado con la fosforilación de la pro teína quinasa ERK. Asimismo, ERK fosforilado es importante para la trans-ducción de señales intracelulares y participa en la regulación de la neuroplasticidad y las respuestas inflamatorias. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la expresión de dos CaBPs y pERK en astrocitos y neuronas del subnúcleo caudal del trigémino (Vc) después de una inflamación periapical experimental en el primer molar inferior izquierdo en ratas. A los siete días posteriores al tratamiento, el estímulo inflamatorio periapical induce un aumento en la expresión de pERK, en el número de astrocitos positivos para la proteína marcadora astroglial S100b y en neuronas positivas para Calbindina D28k, en el Vc ipsilateral respecto del lado contralateral y el grupo de control. Además, se observó coexpresión de pERK tanto en astrocitos S100b positivos, como en neuronas fusiformes Calbindin D28k positivas, de la lámina I. Estas observaciones podrían indicar que la neuroplasticidad y la sensibilización al dolor podrían mantenerse mediante la activación de ERK en las neuronas de proyección a los 7 días de la inflamación periapical.

Predictors of poor prognosis in patients with heat stroke

OBJECTIVE: The predictors of poor prognosis in heat stroke (HS) remain unknown. This study investigated the predictive factors of poor prognosis in patients with HS.METHODS: Data were obtained and analyzed from the health records of patients diagnosed with heat illness at Ajou university hospital between January 2008 and December 2017. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the independent predictors of poor prognosis.RESULTS: Thirty-six patients (median age, 54.5 years; 33 men) were included in the study. Poor prognosis was identified in 27.8% of the study population (10 patients). The levels of S100B protein, troponin I, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, and serum lactate were statistically significant in the univariate analysis. Multiple regression analysis revealed that poor prognosis was significantly associated with an increased S100B protein level (odds ratio, 177.37; 95% confidence interval, 2.59 to 12,143.80; P=0.016). The S100B protein cut-off level for predicting poor prognosis was 0.610 μg/L (area under the curve, 0.906; 95% confidence interval, 0.00 to 1.00), with 86% sensitivity and 86% specificity.CONCLUSION: An increased S100B protein level on emergency department admission is an independent prognostic factor of poor prognosis in patients with HS. Elevation of the S100B protein level represents a potential target for specific and prompt therapies in these patients.

Comparison of neurologic outcome between active abdominal compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation and standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation in asphyxia cardiac arrest / 中华危重病急救医学

Objective To compare the neurologic outcome after the active abdominal compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (AACD-CPR) and chest compression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (STD-CPR) in asphyxia cardiac arrest (CA). Methods A prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted. Adult patients with CA because of asphyxia such as drowning, airway obstruction admitted to Zhengzhou People's Hospital and Sanmenxia Central Hospital from June 2014 to December 2017 were enrolled. With the informed consent of patients' families, patients were divided into AACD-CPR group and STD-CPR group according to random number table method. The blood from median cubital vein or basilic vein were extracted at 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and the levels of S100B protein and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Neurological outcome was classified according to cerebral performance classification (CPC) after 3 months. Results A total of 183 patients were selected, including 78 ROSC patients after CPR. Patients with CA > 8 minutes and rescue time > 1 hour were excluded, 69 ROSC patients (36 in STD-CPR group and 33 in AACD-CPR group) were finally included. After ROSC, the levels of S100B protein and NSE in blood of two groups were increased gradually, reaching the peak at 6 hours, and then decreased gradually. The levels of S100B protein and NSE in AACD-CPR group at different time points after ROSC were significantly lower than those in STD-CPR group [S100B protein (μg/L): 1.62±0.52 vs. 1.88±0.46 at 1 hour, 1.71±0.41 vs. 2.02±0.58 at 6 hours, 1.24±0.37 vs. 1.52±0.59 at 12 hours, 1.05±0.23 vs. 1.28±0.37 at 24 hours, 0.82±0.29 vs. 1.05±0.36 at 48 hours; NSE (μg/L):24.76±3.02 vs. 26.78±4.29 at 1 hour, 58.78±5.58 vs. 61.68±5.44 at 6 hours, 53.87±4.84 vs. 56.78±5.68 at 12 hours, 40.96±3.52 vs. 43.13±4.50 at 24 hours, 33.23±2.89 vs. 35.54±3.44 at 48 hours; all P < 0.05]. 3 months after ROSC, the CPC classification of AACD-CPR group was lower than that of the STD-CPR group (average rank: 28.86 vs. 42.46, Z = -3.375, P < 0.001). Conclusion After suffering asphyxia CA, patients who accepted AACD-CPR had better neurologic outcome than STD-CPR.

Predictive value of partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide on the effect of active abdominal compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation and serum S100B protein on cerebral function / 中华危重病急救医学

Objective To explore the predictive value of partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2) on the effect of active abdominal compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (AACD-CPR) and serum S100B protein on cerebral function. Methods 142 adult patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) AACD-CPR in Zhengzhou People's Hospital, Affiliated Southern Medical University from September 2014 to December 2017 were enrolled. Patients were divided into successful group and failure group according to restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) or not; and then according to Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral performance categories (CPC) one month after ROSC, the successful group was divided into good prognosis group (CPC 1-2) and poor prognosis group (CPC 3-5) further. The variations of hemodynamic, arterial blood gas index, PETCO2and serum S100B protein level (25 healthy subjects as normal S100B protein level reference value) during the recovery were analyzed. The predictive value of PETCO2on the effect of AACD-CPR and serum S100B protein on cerebral function of successful resuscitation patients were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results ① According to the traditional qualitative indexes, such as pulsation of the large artery, redness of lips and extremities, spontaneous fluctuation of chest, narrowing of pupil, existence of shallow reflex, etc, 54 in 142 patients with IHCA were successfully resuscitated; 57 cases were successfully resuscitated through the guidance of PETCO2, there was no significant difference between the two groups (χ2= 0.133, 1 = 0.715). With the AACD-CPR, 142 CA patients' arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), arterial blood carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) were all improved with different degrees; heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), PaO2and PaCO2were further improved at 20 minutes after ROSC. At beginning of AACD-CPR, PETCO2of both groups were about 10 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa). PETCO2was gradually rising to above 20 mmHg in successful group during AACD-CPR process; the failed group increased slightly within 2-5 minutes, then gradually decreased to below 20 mmHg, there was a significant difference in PETCO2between the two groups at each time. The area under the ROC (AUC) of PETCO2at CPR 20 minutes in predicting the outcome of the resuscitation was 0.969, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.943-0.995 (1 = 0.000), when the cut-off value of PETCO2was 24.25 mmHg, the sensitivity was 90.7%, and the specificity was 96.6%. ② The level of serum S100B protein at 0.5 hour after ROSC in the good prognosis group and the poor prognosis group were significant higher than that of the normal control group; there was no significant difference between poor prognosis group and good prognosis group. S100B protein concentration of the poor prognosis group reached the peak within 3-6 hours, then gradually decreased, and was higher than that of the normal control group at ROSC 72 hours; the good prognosis was gradually decreased and recovered to normal control group within ROSC 72 hours. The AUC of S100B at 3 hours after ROSC on cerebral function prognosis prediction was 0.925, 95%CI was 0.867-0.984 (1 = 0.000), when the cut-off value of S100B protein was 1.215 μg/L, the sensitivity was 85.2%, and the specificity was 85.5%. Conclusion The variation of PETCO2can be used as an objective index to predict the success of AACD-CPR, and serum S100B protein can be used as an objective clinical index to predict cerebral function after AACD-CPR, both of which have some reference and guiding significance for clinical treatment.
