    Abstract Background: As patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) progress to a higher stage, the risk for poor outcomes dramatically rises. Early identification of patients at high risk for AKI progression remains a major challenge. This study aimed to evaluate the value of furosemide responsiveness (FR) for predicting AKI progression in patients with initial mild and moderate AKI after cardiac surgery.
    Methods: We performed 2 separate exploratory analyses. The Zhongshan cohort was a single-center, prospective, observational cohort, whereas the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center cohort was a single-center, retrospective cohort. We calculated 2 FR parameters for each patient, namely the FR index and modified FR index, defined as 2-hour urine output divided by furosemide dose (FR index, mL/mg/2 h) and by furosemide dose and body weight (modified FR index, mL/[mg·kg]/2 h), respectively. The primary outcome was AKI progression within 7 days.
    Results: AKI progression occurred in 80 (16.0%) and 359 (11.3%) patients in the Zhongshan and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center cohorts, respectively. All FR parameters (considered continuously or in quartiles) were inversely associated with risk of AKI progression in both cohorts (all adjusted P < .01). The addition of FR parameters significantly improved prediction for AKI progression based on baseline clinical models involving C-index, net reclassification improvement, and integrated discrimination improvement index in both cohorts (all P < .01).
    Conclusions: FR parameters were inversely associated with risk of AKI progression in patients with mild and moderate AKI after cardiac surgery. The addition of FR parameters significantly improved prediction for AKI progression based on baseline clinical models.

    Abstract Background: Skin mottling is a common manifestation of peripheral tissue hypoperfusion, and its severity can be described using the skin mottling score (SMS). This study aims to evaluate the value of the SMS in detecting peripheral tissue hypoperfusion in critically ill patients following cardiac surgery.
    Methods: Critically ill patients following cardiac surgery with risk factors for tissue hypoperfusion were enrolled (n = 373). Among these overall patients, we further defined a hypotension population (n = 178) and a shock population (n = 51). Hemodynamic and perfusion parameters were recorded. The primary outcome was peripheral hypoperfusion, defined as significant prolonged capillary refill time (CRT, > 3.0 s). The characteristics and hospital mortality of patients with and without skin mottling were compared. The area under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROC) were used to assess the accuracy of SMS in detecting peripheral hypoperfusion. Besides, the relationships between SMS and conventional hemodynamic and perfusion parameters were investigated, and the factors most associated with the presence of skin mottling were identified.
    Results: Of the 373-case overall population, 13 (3.5%) patients exhibited skin mottling, with SMS ranging from 1 to 5 (5, 1, 2, 2, and 3 cases, respectively). Patients with mottling had lower mean arterial pressure, higher vasopressor dose, less urine output (UO), higher CRT, lactate levels and hospital mortality (84.6% vs. 12.2%, p < 0.001). The occurrences of skin mottling were higher in hypotension population and shock population, reaching 5.6% and 15.7%, respectively. The AUROC for SMS to identify peripheral hypoperfusion was 0.64, 0.68, and 0.81 in the overall, hypotension, and shock populations, respectively. The optimal SMS threshold was 1, which corresponded to specificities of 98, 97 and 91 and sensitivities of 29, 38 and 67 in the three populations (overall, hypotension and shock). The correlation of UO, lactate, CRT and vasopressor dose with SMS was significant, among them, UO and CRT were identified as two major factors associated with the presence of skin mottling.
    Conclusion: In critically ill patients following cardiac surgery, SMS is a very specific yet less sensitive parameter for detecting peripheral tissue hypoperfusion.

    Abstract The cardiac function reserve is crucial for the successful weaning of V-A ECMO. During the V-A ECMO weaning phase, the gradual reduction in pump flow converts the blood flow originally driven by the pump to native cardiac output and also transforms afterload (caused by retrograde flow) into ventricular preload, thus introducing a "flow challenge" to the native heart. In this perspective, we propose to use this flow challenge as a test to simulate the preload-to-afterload conversion to assess cardiac functional reserve quantitatively. With this short article we offer the hemodynamic and clinical aspects regarding the flow challenge test.

    Abstract Background: Patients receiving surgical treatment of acute type A Aortic Dissection (aTAAD) are common to suffer organ dysfunction in the intensive care unit due to overwhelming inflammation. Previous studies have revealed that glucocorticoids may reduce complications in certain patient groups, but evidence between postoperative glucocorticoids administration and improvement in organ dysfunction after aTAAD surgery are lacking.
    Methods: This study will be an investigator-initiated, prospective, single-blind, randomized, single-center study. Subjects with confirmed diagnosis of aTAAD undergoing surgical treatment will be enrolled and 1:1 randomly assigned to receive either glucocorticoids or normal treatment. All patients in the glucocorticoids group will be given methylprednisolone intravenously for 3 days after enrollment. The primary endpoint will be the amplitude of variation of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score on post-operative day 4 compared to baseline.
    Discussion: The trial will explore the rationale for postoperative application of glucocorticoids in patients after aTAAD surgery.
    Trial registration: This study has been registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04734418).

    Abstract Background: Sepsis is an abnormal immune response after infection, wherein the lung is the most susceptible organ to fail, leading to acute lung injury. To overcome the limitations of current therapeutic strategies and develop more specific treatment, the inflammatory process, in which T cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a central role, should be explored deeply.
    Methods: Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was performed for serum EV protein profiling. The serum diacylglycerol kinase kappa (DGKK) and endotoxin contents of patients with sepsis-induced lung injury were measured. Apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation in A549 cells, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and lung tissues of mice were measured by flow cytometry, biochemical analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and western blot.
    Results: DGKK, the key regulator of the diacylglycerol (DAG)/protein kinase C (PKC) pathway, exhibited elevated expression in serum EVs of patients with sepsis-induced lung injury and showed strong correlation with sepsis severity and disease progression. DGKK was expressed in CD4
    Conclusions: This approach established the mechanism that T-cell-derived EVs carrying DGKK triggered alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis, oxidative stress, inflammation, and tissue damage in sepsis-induced lung injury through the DAG/PKC/NOX4 pathway. Thus, T-cell-derived EVs and the elevated distribution of DGKK should be further investigated to develop therapeutic strategies for sepsis-induced lung injury.

    Abstract Aims: Recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rh-BNP) is commonly used as a decongestive therapy. This study aimed to investigate the instant effects of rh-BNP on cardiac output and venous return function in post-cardiotomy patients with congestive heart failure (CHF).
    Methods and results: Twenty-four post-cardiotomy heart failure patients were enrolled and received a standard loading dose of rh-BNP. Haemodynamic monitoring was performed via a pulmonary artery catheter before and after the administration of rh-BNP. The cardiac output and venous return functions were estimated by depicting Frank-Starling and Guyton curves. After rh-BNP infusion, variables reflecting cardiac congestion and venous return function, such as pulmonary artery wedge pressure, mean systemic filling pressure (Pmsf) and venous return resistance index (VRRI), reduced from 15 ± 3 to 13 ± 3 mmHg, from 32 ± 7 to 28 ± 7 mmHg and from 6.7 ± 2.6 to 5.7 ± 1.8 mmHg min m
    Conclusions: rh-BNP might ameliorate venous return rather than cardiac output function in post-cardiotomy CHF patients.

    Abstract Background: Fluid responsiveness is an important topic for clinicians. We investigated whether changes in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) velocity time integral (VTI) during a Trendelenburg position (TP) maneuver can predict fluid responsiveness as a non-invasive marker in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery patients in the operating room.
    Methods: This prospective, single-center observational study, performed in the operating room, enrolled 65 elective CABG patients. Hemodynamic data coupled with transesophageal echocardiography monitoring of the LVOT VTI and the peak velocity were collected at each step [baseline 1, TP, baseline 2 and fluid challenge (FC)]. Patients whose VTI increased ≥15% after FC (500 mL of Gelofusine infusion within 30 min) were considered responders.
    Results: Twenty-eight (43.1%) patients were responders to fluid administration. VTI changes during the TP maneuver predicted fluid responsiveness with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.90 (95% CI, 0.79-0.96), with a sensitivity of 100%, and a specificity of 70% at a threshold of 10% (gray zone, 8-15%). The increase in VTI during the TP was correlated with the VTI changes induced by FC (r=0.61, P<0.0001). Changes in peak velocity and pulse pressure during the TP were poorly predictive of fluid responsiveness, with an AUC of 0.72 (95% CI: 0.60-0.82) and 0.66 (95% CI: 0.53-0.77), respectively.
    Conclusions: An increase in VTI induced by the TP could predict fluid responsiveness in CABG patients in the operating room. However, changes in peak velocity and pulse pressure stimulated by the TP could not reliably predict fluid responsiveness.

    Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a 20-second end-expiratory occlusion (EEO) test can predict fluid responsiveness in cardiac surgery patients in the operating theatre.
    Methods: This prospective study enrolled 75 mechanically ventilated patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Hemodynamic data coupled with transesophageal echocardiography monitoring of the velocity time integral (VTI) and the peak velocity (Vmax) at the left ventricular outflow tract were collected at each step (baseline 1, EEO, baseline 2 and fluid challenge). Patients were divided into fluid responders (increase in VTI ≥15%) and non-responders (increase in VTI <15%) after a fluid challenge (6 mL 0.9% saline per kg, given in 10 minutes).
    Results: Fluid challenge significantly increased the VTI by more than 15% in 36 (48%) patients (responders). An increase in VTI greater than 5% during the EEO test predicted fluid responsiveness with a sensitivity of 81% and a specificity of 93%. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of ΔVTI-EEO was 0.90 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.83-0.97]. ΔVmax-EEO was poorly predictive of fluid responsiveness, with an AUC of 0.75 (95% CI: 0.63-0.86).
    Conclusions: Changes in VTI induced by a 20-second EEO can reliably predict fluid responsiveness in cardiac surgical patients in the operating theatre, whereas the changes in Vmax cannot.
