Akute Phase Reaktion nach kardiopulmonaler ReanimationReinicke, Albrecht 14 October 2004 (has links)
Die Arbeit untersucht die Akute Phase Reaktion nach erfolgreicher kardiopulmonaler Reanimation. Untersuchungsgegenstand war der Verlauf unterschiedlicher Akute Phase Proteine und Procalcitonin in Abhängigkeit von verschiedenen klinischen Parametern. Ebenso wurde das Verhalten der Akute Phase Proteine bei gesunden Probanden unter kontrollierter systemischer Hypoxie untersucht, da die Hypoxie als Auslöser der Akute Phase Reaktion diskutiert wird. Außerdem wurde betrachtet, welche Parameter sich für die Diagnose einer nach der Reanimation auftretenden Ventilator-assoziierten Pneumonie eignen. In die Untersuchung wurden 33 reanimierte Patienten eingeschlossen sowie 7 Probanden, die sich freiwillig einer hypobaren Hypoxie ausgesetzt hatten. Die wesentlichen Resultate sind: 1) Die untersuchten Akute Phase Proteine verhalten sich nach kardiopulmonaler Reanimation wie dies in der Literatur für andere Genesen beschrieben ist. Das Procalcitonin zeigt gewisse Charakteristika eines Akute Phase Proteins, wobei die Daten eine abschließende Beurteilung nicht ermöglichen. 2) Die Konzentrationsänderungen der Akute Phase Proteine treten bei allen Patienten unabhängig von ihrem Krankheitsverlauf auf. Schlussfolgerung ist, dass nach kardiopulmonaler Reanimation unabhängig von der Ursache regelmäßig eine Akute Phase Reaktion auftritt. 3) Die Probanden zeigten unter hypobarer Hypoxie keine Akute Phase Reaktion, obwohl ein Anstieg der Erythropoetin-Konzentration eine Aktivierung der sauerstoffabhängigen Genexpression anzeigte. Der Sauerstoffmangel reicht deshalb zur Erklärung der Akute Phase Reaktion als alleinige Ursache nicht aus. 4) Der Verlauf der untersuchten Akute Phase Parameter bleibt von einer Ventilator-assoziierten Pneumonie als Komplikation unbeeinflusst. Das Procalcitonin zeigte hingegen bereits frühzeitig im Verlauf deutliche Unterschiede zwischen Patienten mit und ohne Ventilator-assoziierte Pneumonie. / The thesis paper studies the acute phase reaction after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Focus were different acute phase proteins as well as procalcitonin in relation to different clinical parameters. Also the course of these acute phase proteins during hypobaric hypoxia in volunteers was studied, because hyoxia is being discussed as a potential cause of the acute phase reaction. Additionally it was determined, which parameters are suitable to diagnose a ventilator-associated pneumonia after resuscitation. The study included 33 resuscitated patients as well as 7 volunteers undergoing a hypobaric hypoxia. The main results are: 1) The acute phase proteins studied behave after cardiopulmonary resuscitation as described in the literature for other causes. Procalcitonin show certain aspects of an acute phase protein, however, the data do not permit a final judgment. 2) The changes in concentration of the acute phase proteins take place in all patients regardless of the case history. It can be concluded that after cardiopulmonary resuscitation always an acute phase reaction occurs. 3) The volunteers undergoing hypobaric hypoxia showed no acute phase reaction, even though a rise in erythropoetin concentration indicated an oxygen-dependent gene expression. The hypoxia alone therefore is not a sufficient explanation for the development of the acute phase reaction. 4) The course of the acute phase proteins studied is not influenced by a ventilator-associated pneumonia as complication. The course of procalcitonin, however, shows early significant differences between patients with and without ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Variáveis hemodinâmicas, gasométricas e imunomoleculares em pacientes submetidos a revascularização miocárdica com uso de azul de metileno: estudo clínico e prospectivo / Hemodynamic, gasometric and immunomolecular responses to coronary artery bypass grafting with methylene blue infusion: a randomized and prospective studyRibeiro, Nilzo Augusto Mendes 12 March 2004 (has links)
O objetivo do presente estudo, prospectivo e randomizado, é avaliar comparativamente as respostas hemodinâmicas, laboratoriais, imunomoleculares e clínicas, em dois grupos de pacientes submetidos a cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica com extracorpórea utilizando-se, em um deles infusão de azul de metileno durante o período intraoperatório. As variáveis hemodinâmicas estudadas foram: FC, PAE, PVC, DC, RVS, RVP, PAPM, PASS, PASD e PASM. Os dados laboratoriais avaliados foram: gasometria arterial, creatinina, leucócitos, bastões, neutrófilos, eosinífilos, basófilos, linfócitos, Ht, Hb, paquetas, Na+ e K+. Os marcadores imunomoleculares estudados foram: IL - 1ß, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 p40, TNF alfa e NO. Os dados clínicos avaliados foram: idade, sexo, raça, tabagismo, hipertensão, diabetes, angina estável, angina instável, infarto prévio, tempo de CEC, tempo de pinçamento aórtico, número de pontes realizadas, urina azulada, fezes azuladas, diarréia, náuseas, cefaléia, tontura, disúria, astenia e dispnéia. As variáveis citadas foram obtidas em todos ou em parte dos períodos seguintes: antes da indução, terceira hora, sexta hora, 24ª hora e 48ª hora após o término da CEC. Ocorreram diferenças estatisticamente significativas na resistência vascular sistêmica, na pressão arterial sistêmica diastólica, em parte das citocinas estudadas e no óxido nítrico. A análise dos resultados mostra que no grupo que utilizou azul de metileno houve resistência vascular sistêmica mais alta no período da sexta hora de pós-operátório, menor concentração de TNF alfa no período da terceira e 48ª hora e menores níveis de óxido nítrico no período da sexta hora. As medidas laboratoriais foram semelhantes em ambos os grupos exceto maior número de leucócitos e neutrófilos na 48ª hora após CEC no grupo contrôle. Verifica-se que o azul de metileno levou a melhores condições hemodinâmicas e menores valores e alguns marcadores de reposta inflamatória sistêmica após cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica com circulação extra-corpórea e não apresentou efeitos adversos importantes. / The objective of the present study, prospective and randomized, is to evaluate the hemodynamic, gasometric, immunomolecular and clinical response in two groups of patients submited to coronary artery surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass with the use, in one of them, of methylene blue infusion during the intraoperative period. The hemodynamic variable data evaluated were: heart rate, left atrial pressure, central venous pressure, cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance, pulmonary vascular resistance, mean pulmonary artery pressure, systolic systemic arterial pressure, dyastolic systemic arterial pressure and mean systemic arterial pressure. Laboratoryal data were: arterial gasimetry, urea, creatinine, leucocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, platelets, sodium and potassium. The immunomolecular data were: IL-1ß, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p40, TNF alfa and NO. The clinical data evaluated were: age, gender, race, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, stable angina, unstable angina, previous infarction, cardiopulmonary bypass duration, aortic cross-clamp time, graft number, bluish urine, bluish feces, diarrhea, nausea, headache, dizziness, dysuria, tiredness and dyspnea. All the data were obtained, in all or part of the following periods: before the anesthesia and at the third, sixth, 24th and 48th hour after the end of the cardiopulmonary bypass. Statistically significant differences occurred in the systemic vascular resistance, diastolic systemic arterial pressure and in part of the evaluated cytokines, as well as with the nitric oxide. The analysis of the results show that, in the methylene blue patients group, the systemic vascular resistance was higher at the sixth hour, lower concentrations of TNF alfa at the third and at the 48th hour and lower levels of NO at the 6th hour. The laboratorial data were similar in the two groups, except for the number of leucocytes and neutrophils were higher in the control group at the 48th hour after the end of the cardiopulmonary bypass. The gasometric data showed no difference between the groups. It was verified that the methylene blue has induced better hemodynamic conditions and lower levels of part of markers of SIRS after coronary artery surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass and no siginifcant deleterious side effects.

A Comparison of Two Immunoturbidimetric Assay Methods for Serum Amyloid A in Cats.Edblom, Sara January 2011 (has links)
The analysis of acute phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA) has recently been brought into clinical use in veterinary medicine. Some of the difficulties with incorporating the SAA method in clinical practice have been the expensive and rather large equipment required for the method. Due to these difficulties only larger clinics can afford to use the SAA analysis. The company Equinostic has recently developed a smaller instrument that costs one-tenth of a larger instrument. The instrument is named EVA1 and has so far only been used to analyze SAA in horses. The aim of this study was to investigate if the EVA1 instrument could be used to analyze SAA in cats. This study included 24 serum samples from cat, which were first analyzed twice on the EVA1 instrument and then sent to the Strömsholm Referral Animal Hospital in Sweden where they reanalyzed the samples using a validated reference method. Both instruments are based on an immunoturbidimetric assay. The correlation between the two instruments was good (r=0.97) but the EVA1 instrument showed constantly lower results than the reference method. The difference between the duplicates when analyzed on the EVA1 instrument was larger than expected. The conclusion is that EVA1 could be used to analyze SAA in cats. However, before it could be used clinically in veterinary practice an extended study is recommended.

Previous issue date: 2009 / Resumo: Introdução: A leucocitose e a presença de hipertermia são os indicadores primários de inflamação/infecção sistêmica na maioria das espécies animais. Em cães as alterações leucocitárias podem ser evidenciadas em 72 horas, enquanto a elevação sérica das proteínas de fase aguda e a velocidade de hemossedimentação ocorrem mais precocemente sendo úteis na monitorização do processo inflamatório/infeccioso. A interleucina-6 é o principal regulador da resposta inflamatória, ocasionando o aumento da síntese hepática das proteínas de fase aguda, como a proteína C reativa e o fibrinogênio. A elevação da velocidade de hemossedimentação, por sua vez, é conseqüente ao aumento das proteínas de fase aguda. O diagnóstico da inflamação/infecção em cães é realizado por meio de técnicas manuais, carentes de precisão e padronização na maioria dos laboratórios veterinários. O objetivo desse estudo foi a investigação de parâmetros e métodos laboratoriais, que possam auxiliar no diagnóstico e monitoramento do processo inflamatório/infeccioso em cães. A avaliação e padronização de tais parâmetros poderão contribuir para o esclarecimento diagnóstico com maior precisão e em um menor intervalo de tempo e poderão ser incluídos na rotina laboratorial veterinária. Materiais e métodos: Foram estudados 117 cães adultos de diferentes raças divididos inicialmente em dois grupos: controle (n=31) e inflamatório/infeccioso (n=86). Posteriormente, os animais doentes foram subdivididos em: inflamatório (n=29) e infeccioso (n=57). O leucograma foi obtido em contador automatizado e a contagem diferencial de leucócitos realizada em esfregaços de sangue corados com May-Grünwald- Giemsa. Os valores de fibrinogênio e velocidade de hemossedimentação foram determinados por métodos automatizados, a proteína C reativa e a interleucina-6 usando kit
de ELISA comercial espécie-específicos. Resultados: A velocidade de hemossedimentação automatizada foi o melhor marcador do processo inflamatório/infeccioso, seguida da proteína C reativa. Apresentaram positividade em 82,56% e 65,12% dos casos, respectivamente. Os demais marcadores foram positivos em menos de 50% dos animais. Quando os animais doentes foram subdivididos, o grupo com inflamação apresentou maior freqüência de positividade do que o grupo infeccioso. A concentração de hemoglobina e o número de plaquetas foram superiores no grupo controle, enquanto a contagem total de leucócitos, número de basófilos e presença de desvio à esquerda apresentaram valores elevados no grupo de animais doentes. Níveis superiores de velocidade de hemossedimentação, proteína C reativa e interleucina-6 foram observados no grupo com inflamação/infecção quando comparados aos controles. Quando subdivididos, no grupo de animais com processo inflamatório os níveis de fibrinogênio e proteína C reativa foram superiores aos do grupo infeccioso, enquanto os valores de velocidade de hemossedimentação e interleucina-6 foram semelhantes. Conclusões: A determinação da velocidade de hemossedimentação apresentou a melhor acurácia na detecção do processo inflamatório/infeccioso. Na análise global os níveis de interleucina-6, proteína C reativa e fibrinogênio foram superiores no grupo inflamatório/infeccioso, mas mostraram eficácia limitada na detecção individual de cães doentes. Cães com processo inflamatório mostraram uma resposta mais exacerbada tanto nas determinações sorológicas/plasmáticas como nos parâmetros hematológicos do que os cães com processo predominantemente infeccioso / Abstract: Introduction: Leukocytosis and hyperthermia are the primary indicators of inflammation infection in most animal species. White blood cell count changes are evident after 72 hours in dogs, while the increase of serum acute phase proteins levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rate occur earlier. Thus they are considered as useful and precocious markers in identifying and monitoring inflammatory/infection process. Interleukin-6 is the major inflammatory response regulator and increases hepatic synthesis of acute phase proteins such as C-reactive protein and fibrinogen. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate rises as a consequence of acute phase protein stimulus. The investigation of the presence of inflammation/infection process in dogs is performed in most veterinary laboratories by manuals technics, which show poor precision and fail in standardization of procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate new parameters and laboratory methods, which may help in the identification of the inflammatory/infection process in dogs. The evaluation and standardization of these parameters may contribute to the diagnosis with greater precision and in a shorter period of time and may be included in the routine veterinary laboratories. Materials and methods: We studied 117 adult dogs of different breeds. They were divided into two groups: normal controls (n = 31) and suspicious of inflammatory / infectious diseases (n = 86). Subsequently, animals were subdivided into animals with inflammatory (n = 29) or infection conditions (n = 57). Hematological parameters were obtained using an automated counter and differential count was performed by microscopic observation in blood smears stained with Giemsa-May-Grünwald. Fibrinogen concentration and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were determined by automated methods and plasma Creactive protein and interleukin-6 were measured by commercial ELISA kits. Results: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was the most sensitive marker of the inflammatory/infection process, showing significant increase in 82,56% of the cases, followed by C-reactive protein measurement (65,12%). The other markers were positive in less than 50% of the animals. When the animals were subdivided according to inflammatory or infection condition the group with inflammation showed higher frequency of positivity than the infectious group. The concentration of hemoglobin and the number of
platelet were higher in the control group, while white blood count, number of basophils and presence of left shift showed high values in the group of sick animals. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 levels were higher in the group with inflammation/infection when compared to controls. Animals with inflammatory process showed fibrinogen and C-reactive protein levels higher than those with infection, while erythrocyte sedimentation rate and interleukin-6 levels were similar. Conclusions: Results of this study indicate that erythrocyte sedimentation rate showed the best accuracy in identifying inflammatory/infectious process. Interleukin-6, C-reactive protein and fibrinogen levels were higher in inflammatory/infectious group, but showed limited efficacy in detection of individual sick animals. Dogs with inflammatory process demonstrate a more remarkable response in both serum/plasma determinations and hematological parameters when compared with dogs presenting predominantly infectious process / Mestrado / Ciencias Biomedicas / Mestre em Ciências Médicas

Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Inflammation, and Cardiopulmonary DiseaseArter, Jim L., Chi, David S., M, Girish, Fitzgerald, S. M., Guha, Bhuvana, Krishnaswamy, Guha 01 September 2004 (has links)
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs commonly in the U.S. population and is seen in both obese as well as non-obese individuals. OSA is a disease characterized by periodic upper airway collapse during sleep, which then results in either apnea, hypopnea, or both. The disorder leads to a variety of medical complications. Neuropsychiatric complications include daytime somnolence, cognitive dysfunction, and depression. Increased incidence of motor vehicle accidents has been documented in these patients and probably reflects disordered reflex mechanisms or excessive somnolence. More importantly, vascular disorders such as hypertension, stroke, congestive cardiac failure, arrhythmias, and atherosclerosis occur frequently in these patients. The lungs may be affected by pulmonary hypertension and worsening of asthma. Recent data from several laboratories demonstrate that obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by an inflammatory response. Cytokines are elaborated during the hypoxemic episodes leading to inflammatory responses as marked clinically by elevated C-reactive protein (CRP). As elevated CRP levels are considered markers of the acute phase response and characterize progression of vascular injury in coronary artery disease, it is likely that obstructive sleep apnea could lead to worsening of vasculopathy. Moreover, as inflammatory mechanisms regulate bronchial asthma, it is also likely that cytokines and superoxide radicals generated during hypoxemic episodes could exacerbate reactive airway disease. Patients with Cough, Obstructive sleep apnea, Rhinosinusitis, and Esophageal reflux clustered together can be categorized by the acronym, "CORE", syndrome. The purpose of this manuscript is to review the inflammatory responses that occur in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and relate them to the occurrence of cardiopulmonary disease.

Influência da lipoproteína de alta densidade (HDL) e de seu metabolismo intravascular sobre a resposta inflamatória e função endotelial na fase aguda do infarto do miocárdio / High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and its intravascular metabolism influence inflammatory response and endothelial function after acute phase of myocardial infarctionCarvalho, Luiz Sérgio Fernandes de, 1986- 02 June 2015 (has links)

Previous issue date: 2015 / Resumo: Introdução: A resposta de fase aguda (RFA) transforma a lipoproteína de alta densidade (HDL) em uma partícula disfuncional que pode favorecer o estresse oxidativo/inflamatório e disfunção da enzima óxido nítrico sintase endotelial (eNOS). Ao mesmo tempo, a modulação do metabolismo da HDL pela proteína de transferência de colesteril ester (CETP) parece estar associada a um potencial efeito anti-inflamatório durante a RFA relacionada a sepse. Embora esses mecanismos possam estar envolvidos na disfunção endotelial que se segue ao infarto do miocárdio com supra de ST (IMCSST), essas hipóteses nunca foram testadas em humanos. Método: Plasma foi obtido de pacientes consecutivos com IMCSST (n=116 a 180) nas primeiras 24 horas após o início dos sintomas (D1) e no 5o dia (D5), sendo utilizado para medir: proteína C reativa (PCR), nitrato/nitrito (NOx) e atividade de CETP. As lipoproteínas foram isoladas por ultracentrifugação de gradiente. A oxidabilidade de LDL co-incubada com HDL (HDLaoxLDL) e auto-oxidabilidade da HDL (HDLautox) foram medidas após a incubação com CuSO4. A atividade anti-inflamatória da HDL foi estimada pela secreção de VCAM-1 por células endoteliais da veia umbilical humana, após a incubação com TNF-?. Dilatação mediada por fluxo (FMD) foi avaliada no 30o dia (D30). Resultados: Entre os pacientes no 1o tercil de HDL-colesterol no D1 (<33mg/dL), o incremento de NOx entre D1 e D5 e a FMD ajustada para várias co-variáveis foram maiores do que naqueles no 2o (33- 42mg/dL) e 3o (>42mg/dL) tercis. Do D1 ao D5 houve redução no tamanho e no número de partículas de HDL, bem como aumento da HDLaoxLDL e HDLautox. A secreção de VCAM-1 após estímulo com TNF-? foi reduzida após co-incubação com HDL de voluntários saudáveis, de doentes com IM no D1 e D30, mas não para a HDL do D5. A oxidação da HDL foi medida pela concentração de TBARS em partículas de HDL isoladas, sendo observado aumento entre D1 e D5, e permanecendo elevado no D30. O aumento no conteúdo de TBARS na HDL foi associado com a atividade de CETP (r=0,72; p=0,014), FMD (r =-0,61; p=0,046) e HDL-C (r=0,83; p=0,004). Em paralelo, elevada atividade de CETP na admissão foi associado a menor FMD, menor biodisponibilidade de NOx e a maior incidência de morte súbita e infarto recorrente após 30 (OR=12,8; p=0,032) e 180 dias (OR=3,3; p=0,044). Conclusão: O IMCSST induz mudanças na composição química e função do HDL, bem como alterações na atividade enzimática da CETP que paralelamente contribuem para o aumento da oxidação de partículas de HDL, que se traduz em disfunção endotelial / Abstract: Introduction: Acute phase response (APR) turns high-density lipoprotein (HDL) into a dysfunctional particle that may favor oxidative/inflammatory stress and endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) dysfunction. Moreover, modulation of HDL intravascular metabolism by cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) action has also been implicated as a potentially anti-inflammatory and thrombotic mechanism during APR. Although these mechanisms may be involved into endothelial dysfunction that follows acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), these assumptions have never been in investigated in humans. Method: Plasma was obtained in the first 24-hours after STEMI symptoms onset (D1) and after 5 days (D5) in consecutive patients (n=116 to 180), and then used to measure C-reactive protein (CRP), nitrate/nitrite (NOx) and CETP activity. Lipoproteins were isolated by gradient ultracentrifugation. The oxidizability of low-density lipoprotein incubated with HDL (HDLaoxLDL) and the HDL self-oxidizability (HDLautox) were measured after CuSO4 co-incubation. Anti-inflammatory activity of HDL was estimated by VCAM-1 secretion by human umbilical vein endothelial cells after incubation with TNF-?. Flowmediated dilation (FMD) was assessed at the 30th day (D30) after STEMI. Results: Among patients in the first tertile of admission HDL-Cholesterol (<33mg/dL), the increment of NOx from D1 to D5 and the FMD adjusted for multiple covariates were higher than in those in the second (33-42mg/dL) or third (>42mg/dL) tertiles, respectively. From D1 to D5, there was a decrease in HDL size and particle number and increase in both HDLaoxLDL and HDLautox. VCAM-1 secretion after TNF-a stimulation was reduced after co-incubation with HDL from healthy volunteers, from MI patients at D1 and D30 but not from D5. Oxidized HDL was measured by TBARS in isolated HDL particles and increased from D1 to D5, and remaining elevated at D30. The change in TBARS content in HDL was associated with CETP activity (r=0.72;p=0.014), FMD (r=-0.61;p=0.046) and HDL-C (r=0,83,p=0,004). High CETP activity at admission was associated lower FMD, lower NOx bioavailability and with the incidence of sudden death and recurrent MI at 30 days (OR 12.8;p=0.032) and 180 days (OR 3.3;p=0.044). Conclusion: STEMI induces changes in the chemical composition and function of HDL as well as changes in the enzymatic activity of CETP that in parallel contribute to increased oxidation of HDL particles, and thus inducing endothelial dysfunction / Doutorado / Patologia Clinica / Doutor em Ciências Médicas
