RESUMO

Acute hemorrhage commonly leads to coagulopathy and organ dysfunction or failure. Recent evidence suggests that damage to the endothelial glycocalyx contributes to these adverse outcomes. The physiological events mediating acute glycocalyx shedding are undefined, however. Here, we show that succinate accumulation within endothelial cells drives glycocalyx degradation through a membrane reorganization-mediated mechanism. We investigated this mechanism in a cultured endothelial cell hypoxia-reoxygenation model, in a rat model of hemorrhage, and in trauma patient plasma samples. We found that succinate metabolism by succinate dehydrogenase mediates glycocalyx damage through lipid oxidation and phospholipase A2-mediated membrane reorganization, promoting the interaction of matrix metalloproteinase 24 (MMP24) and MMP25 with glycocalyx constituents. In a rat hemorrhage model, inhibiting succinate metabolism or membrane reorganization prevented glycocalyx damage and coagulopathy. In patients with trauma, succinate levels were associated with glycocalyx damage and the development of coagulopathy, and the interaction of MMP24 and syndecan-1 was elevated compared to healthy controls.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Numerous advancements in hemorrhage control and volume replacement that comprise damage control resuscitation (DCR) have been implemented in the last decade to reduce deaths from bleeding. We sought to determine the impact of DCR interventions on mortality over 12 years in a massive transfusion protocol (MTP) population. We hypothesized that mortality would be decreased in later years, which would have used more DCR interventions. STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective review of all MTP patients treated at a large regional Level I trauma center from 2008 to 2019. Interventions by year of implementation examined included MTP 1:1 ratio (2009), liquid plasma (2010), tranexamic acid (2012), prehospital tourniquets (2013), REBOA/TEG (2017), satellite blood station (2018), and whole blood transfusion (2019). Relative risk and odds of mortality for DCR interventions were examined. RESULTS: There were 824 MTP patients included. The cohort was primarily male (80.6%) injured by penetrating mechanism (68.1%) with median (interquartile range) age 31 years (23-44) and New Injury Severity Score 25 (16-34). Overall mortality was unchanged [(38.3%-56.6%); P = 0.26]. Tourniquets (P = 0.02) and whole blood (WB) (P = 0.03) were associated with lower unadjusted mortality; only tourniquets remained significant after adjustment (OR: 0.39; 95% CI: 0.17-0.89; P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Despite lower mortality with use of tourniquets and WB, mortality rates due to hemorrhage have not improved at our high MTP volume institution, suggesting implementation of new in-hospital strategies is insufficient to reduce mortality. Future efforts should be directed toward moving hemorrhage control and effective resuscitation interventions to the injury scene.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We present a video case with a novel, minimally invasive approach to the thymus, which does not require a sternotomy, thoracic incision, or entry into the pleural space. METHODS: A 14-year-old girl was referred to our clinic with dysphagia and left sided thymic mass. A detailed video shows the operative techniques used to perform a thymectomy with robotic assistance via a transaxillary approach. RESULTS: The procedure was tolerated well and without complication. The patient was discharged the day after surgery and was symptom free at her 2-week follow-up appointment. CONCLUSION: We present a novel approach to thymic surgery that does not require a neck incision, sternotomy, or entry into the pleural space. There could be several benefits from this minimally invasive approach; however, concerns related to exposure and adequacy of resection need further research prior to recommending this technique for myasthenia or malignancy.

RESUMO

To assess an elevated creatinine, a 67-year old woman underwent renal ultrasound which incidentally revealed an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
