    Abstract Inflammation in vascularized tissues is mediated by circulating immune cells that are recruited to damaged tissue. Immune cells undergo dramatic changes in speed and motility indicating the severity and staging of inflammation. Here, we characterize the spectrum of retinal leukocyte kinetics in response to an acute inflammatory stimulus using adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) in living mice. C57BL/6J male mice were injected intravitreally with 1 µL lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and imaged at 6, 24 and 72 hours after LPS injection using phase contrast and fluorescence AOSLO. Speed of circulating leukocytes (n= 286 cells, 2 mice) was measured with 15kHz point-scan imaging using automated approach (Joseph et al. 2019). Rolling leukocytes (n=300 cells, 5 mice, 6 hrs after LPS) and extravasated cells (n=92 cells, 8 mice) were visualized with time-lapse imaging and manually tracked using ImageJ. Using our custom AOSLO, we observed leukocyte speeds spanning 5 orders of magnitude in the living retina. The fastest speeds were the circulating leukocytes (13,257.37 ± 7,086.41 µm/s). After LPS, leukocytes roll along the venular wall, where cell speed was 1000x slower (11.45 ± 7.45 µm/s.) When immune cells extravasated into the tissue, cell speed dropped further by 100x (0.3 ± 0.15 µm/s). Observed leukocyte speeds cluster around three distinct velocity bands that stratify the unique and purposeful behavior of these cells as they progress through the inflammatory cascade.

    Abstract Background: Increasing age has been observed among patients admitted to the intensive care unit(ICU). Age traditionally considered a risk factor for ICU mortality. We investigated how the epidemiology and clinical outcomes of older ICU patients have changed over a decade.
    Methods: We analyzed patients admitted to the ICU at a university hospital in Seoul, South Korea. We defined patients aged 65 and older as older patients. Changes in age groups and mortality risk factors over the study period were analyzed.
    Results: A total of 32,322 patients were enrolled who aged ≥ 65 years admitted to the ICUs between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2017. Patients aged 65 years accounted for 35% and of these, the older(O: 65-74 yrs) comprised 19,630(66.5%), very older(VO: 75-84 yrs) group 8,573(29.1%), and very very older(VVO: 85 years) group 1,300(4.4 %). The mean age of ICU patients over the study period increased(71.9±5.6yrs in 2007 vs. 73.2±6.1yrs in 2017) and the proportions of the VO and VVO group both increased. Over the period, the proportion of female increased(37.9% in 2007 vs. 43.3% in 2017), and increased ICU admissions for medical reasons(39.7% in 2007 vs. 40.2% in 2017). In-hospital mortality declined across all older age groups, from 10.3% in 2007 to 7.6% in 2017. Hospital length of stay(LOS) decreased in all groups, but ICU LOS decreased only in the O and VO groups.
    Conclusion: The study indicates a changing demographic in ICUs with an increase in older patients, and suggests a need for customized ICU treatment strategies and resources.

    Abstract Recurrent clinical deterioration and repeat medical emergency team (MET) activation are common and associated with high in-hospital mortality. This study assessed the predictors for repeat MET activation in deteriorating patients admitted to a general ward. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 5512 consecutive deteriorating hospitalized adult patients who required MET activation in the general ward. The patients were divided into two groups according to repeat MET activation. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the predictors for repeat MET activation. Hematological malignancies (odds ratio, 2.07; 95% confidence interval, 1.54-2.79) and chronic lung disease (1.49; 1.07-2.06) were associated with a high risk of repeat MET activation. Among the causes for MET activation, respiratory distress (1.76; 1.19-2.60) increased the risk of repeat MET activation. A low oxygen saturation-to-fraction of inspired oxygen ratio (0.97; 0.95-0.98), high-flow nasal cannula oxygenation (4.52; 3.56-5.74), airway suctioning (4.63; 3.59-5.98), noninvasive mechanical ventilation (1.52; 1.07-2.68), and vasopressor support (1.76; 1.22-2.54) at first MET activation increased the risk of repeat MET activation. The risk factors identified in this study may be useful to identify patients at risk of repeat MET activation at the first MET activation. This would allow the classification of high-risk patients and the application of aggressive interventions to improve outcomes.

    Abstract Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) signaling plays pivotal roles in innate immunity by sensing viral single-stranded RNA thereby triggering inflammatory signaling cascades and eliciting protective antiviral responses. In this study, we found that TLR7 expression is highly induced in response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) infection in a dose- and time-dependent manner. P. aeruginosa-derived DnaJ, a homolog of HSP40, was identified as a related inducing agent for TLR7 expression, and expression of DnaJ was stimulated when host cells were infected with P. aeruginosa. Interestingly, DnaJ was not involved in mediating an increase in the expression levels of TLR3 and TLR8, other well-known antiviral receptors. The induction of TLR7 in response to DnaJ was mediated by the activation of the AKT (Thr308 and Ser473)/NF-κB and p38/JNK MAPKs signaling pathways, consequently transmitting related signals for the expression of interferons (IFNs). Of note, these antiviral responses were regulated, at least in part, by TLR4, which senses the presence of DnaJ and then promotes downstream activation of the AKT (Ser473)/NF-κB and JNK signaling cascades. Taken together, these results suggest that P. aeruginosa-derived DnaJ is sufficient to promote an increase in TLR7 expression in the TLR4-engaged AKT/NF-κB and JNK signaling pathways, thereby promoting an increased antiviral response through the elevated expression of IFNs.

    Abstract Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a type of cardiopulmonary bypass. It is an artificial means of supplying oxygen and removing CO2 on behalf of damaged lungs while patients are recovering from underlying diseases. Recently, the use of ECLS is rapidly increasing as this machine becomes smaller, less invasive and easier to use. In addition, the improvement of clinicians' technique and outcome is increasing their application to patients with acute respiratory distress. In this regard, the purpose of this review is to introduce the physiological principles, risk factors, and advantages of ECLS, clinical rationale for using ECLS, ventilatory strategy during ECLS, which are still causing different opinions, the weaning from ECLS, and the use of anticoagulant.

    Abstract Background: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are an emerging concern for global health and are associated with high morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Risk factors for CRE acquisition include broad-spectrum antibiotic use and microbiota dysbiosis in critically ill patients. Therefore, we evaluated the alteration of the intestinal microbiota associated with CRE colonization in critically ill patients.
    Methods: Fecal samples of 41 patients who were diagnosed with septic shock or respiratory failure were collected after their admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). The gut microbiota profile determined using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and quantitative measurement of fecal short-chain fatty acids were evaluated in CRE-positive (
    Results: CRE carriers showed a significantly increased proportion of the phyla Proteobacteria and decreased numbers of the phyla Bacteroidetes as compared to the CRE non-carriers. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) with linear discriminant effect size showed that the genera
    Conclusion: Critically ill patients with CRE have a distinctive gut microbiota composition and community structure, altered short-chain fatty acid production and changes in the metabolic pathways. Further studies are needed to determine whether amino acids supplementation improves microbiota dysbiosis in patients with CRE.

    Abstract Background: There is an argument whether the delayed intubation aggravate the respiratory failure in Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to investigate the effect of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) failure before mechanical ventilation on clinical outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study included mechanically ventilated patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) between February 2020 and December 2021 at Asan Medical Center. The patients were divided into HFNC failure (HFNC-F) and mechanical ventilation (MV) groups according to the use of HFNC before MV. The primary outcome of this study was to compare the worst values of ventilator parameters from day 1 to day 3 after mechanical ventilation between the two groups.
    Results: Overall, 158 mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 were included in this study: 107 patients (67.7%) in the HFNC-F group and 51 (32.3%) in the MV group. The two groups had similar profiles of ventilator parameter from day 1 to day 3 after mechanical ventilation, except of dynamic compliance on day 3 (28.38 mL/cmH2O in MV vs. 30.67 mL/H2O in HFNC-F, p = 0.032). In addition, the HFNC-F group (5.6%) had a lower rate of ECMO at 28 days than the MV group (17.6%), even after adjustment (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.30; 95% confidence interval, 0.11-0.83; p = 0.045).
    Conclusions: Among mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients, HFNC failure before mechanical ventilation was not associated with deterioration of respiratory failure.

    Abstract Aim: To test whether targeted SpO2 feedback (TSF), an automatic control system for fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), achieves more time in the optimal SpO2 range and/or reduces the frequency of manual adjustments to administered FiO2 compared with conventional manual titration in patients with hypoxia on high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy.
    Study design: Twenty-two patients were recruited from two hospitals. For each, two sessions of manual mode and two sessions of TSF were applied in a random order, each session lasting 2 h. The target SpO2 on TSF was 95%. Oxygen monitoring levels were classified into four SpO2 ranges: hypoxia (≤ 89%), borderline (90%-93%), optimal (94%-96%) and hyperoxia (≥ 97%). The two modes were compared based on the proportion of time spent in each SpO2 range and the number of manual FiO2 adjustments.
    Results: The proportion of time in the optimal SpO2 range was 20.5% under manual titration mode and 65.4% under TSF (p < .01). The proportions of time in the hypoxia range were 1.1% and 0.4%, respectively (p = .31), in the borderline range 4.7% and 3.5%, respectively (p = .54), and in the hyperoxia range 73.7% and 30.7%, respectively (p < .01). There were statistical differences only in the optimal and hyperoxia SpO2 ranges. During the 8 h, the frequency of manual FiO2 adjustment was 0.7 times for the manual mode and 0.2 times for TSF, showing no statistically significant difference (p = 0.076).
    Conclusion: Compared with manual titration, TSF achieved greater time of the optimal SpO2 and less time of hyperoxia during HFNC. The frequency of manual adjustments on TSF tended to be less than on manual titration mode.
    Relevance to clinical practice: Automatic closed-loop algorithm FiO2 monitoring systems can achieve better oxygen treatments than conventional monitoring and may reduce nurse workloads. In the era of pandemic respiratory diseases, this system can also facilitate contactless SpO2 monitoring during HFNC therapy.
