■ Paper- Road traffic accidents are a global health concern. K-car vehicles, also known as "mini vehicles," are defined as those having an engine displacement <660 cc, vehicle length <3.4 m, width <1.48 m, and height <2.0 m. K-cars have become increasing popular not only in Japan but also in other countries. Compared with standard vehicles, the occupant space of a K-car vehicle is considerably smaller; thus, passengers may be more vulnerable to the external forces generated in a collision, which in turn can lead to deformation of the occupant space and less protection against injuries. However, data are scarce regarding whether K-car vehicles are related to poorer survival outcomes and severe trauma. We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving patients who were injured in four-wheeled vehicle accidents between 2002 and 2023 and admitted to a community teaching hospital in Japan. The vehicle configuration was divided into standard and K-car vehicles. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. Other outcomes included severe trauma, defined as Injury Severity Score (ISS) >15, and anatomically specific severe injury of the head and neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities, defined as Abbreviated Injury Scale score ≥3. Of 5331 eligible patients, 2384 (44.7%) were K-car vehicle occupants. In propensity score-matched analysis with 1947 pairs, we observed an increase for in-hospital mortality in the K-car vehicle group (2.6% vs. 4.0%, odds ratio 1.53, 95% confidence interval 1.07–2.19). Compared with standard vehicles, K-car vehicles were associated with a greater risk of severe trauma and serious injuries of the head and neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities. These study data should be used to encourage vehicle occupants and automobile manufacturers to consider objective facts regarding the safety of vehicles in a traffic accident.Public Library of Science (PLoS), Feb. 2025, PLOS ONE, 20(2) (2), e0318748 - e0318748Scientific journal

- Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a common and crucial intervention. Whether the performance of ETI differs according to the sex of the laryngoscopist remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess sex disparities in markers of ETI performance among novices using a high-fidelity simulator. This prospective observational study was conducted from April 2017 to March 2019 in a public medical university. In total, 209 medical students (4th and 5th grade) without clinical ETI experience were recruited. Of the 209 students, 64 (30.6%) were female. The participants used either a Macintosh direct laryngoscope or C-MAC video laryngoscope in combination with a stylet or gum-elastic bougie to perform ETI on a high-fidelity simulator. The primary endpoint was the maximum force applied on the maxillary incisors during laryngoscopy. The secondary endpoint was the time to ETI. The implanted sensors in the simulator automatically quantified the force and time to ETI. The maximum force applied on the maxillary incisors was approximately 30% lower in the male than female group for all laryngoscopes and intubation aids examined (all P < 0.001). Similarly, the time to ETI was approximately 10% faster in the male than female group regardless of the types of laryngoscopes and intubation aids used (all P < 0.05). In this study, male sex was associated with a lower maximum force applied on the maxillary incisors during both direct and indirect laryngoscopy performed by novices. A clinical study focusing on sex differences in ETI performance is needed to validate our findings.

- Suicide is an increasingly important public healthcare concern worldwide. Studies examining the effect of attempted suicide on clinical outcomes among patients with trauma are scarce. We conducted a retrospective cohort study at a community emergency department in Japan. We included all severely injured patients with an Injury Severity Score > 15 from January 2002 to December 2021. The primary outcome measure was in-hospital mortality. The other outcome of interest was hospital length of stay. One-to-one propensity score matching was performed to compare these outcomes between suicide attempt and no suicide attempt groups. Of the 2714 eligible patients, 183 (6.7%) had trauma caused by a suicide attempt. In the propensity score-matched analysis with 139 pairs, the suicide attempt group showed a significant increase in-hospital mortality (20.9% vs. 37.4%; odds ratio 2.27; 95% confidence intervals 1.33–3.87) compared with the no suicide attempt group. Among survivors, the median hospital length of stay was significantly longer in the suicide attempt group than that in the no suicide attempt group (9 days vs. 12 days, p = 0.0076). Because of the unfavorable consequences and potential need for additional healthcare, increased attention should be paid to patients with trauma caused by a suicide attempt.MDPI AG, Jan. 2024, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 21(2) (2), 121 - 121Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Although coagulopathy is often observed in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), its clinical impact remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to clarify the coagulopathy parameters that are clinically applicable for prognostication and to determine anticoagulant indications in sepsis-induced ARDS. METHOD: This study enrolled patients with sepsis-derived ARDS from two nationwide multicenter, prospective observational studies. We explored coagulopathy parameters that could predict outcomes in the FORECAST cohort, and the defined coagulopathy criteria were validated in the SPICE-ICU cohort. The correlation between anticoagulant use and outcomes was also evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 181 patients with sepsis-derived ARDS in the FORECAST study and 61 patients in the SPICE-ICU study were included. In a preliminary study, we found the set of PT-INR ≥1.4 and platelets ≤12 × 104/μL, Thrombocytopenia and Elongated Prothrombin time, TEP, coagulopathy as the best coagulopathy parameters, and used for further analysis, of which odds ratio of TEP coagulopathy for in-hospital mortality adjusted for confounding was 3.84 (95% CI, 1.66-8.87; p = 0.005). In the validation cohort, the adjusted odds ratio for in-hospital mortality was 32.99 (95% CI, 2.60-418.72; p = 0.002). Although patients without TEP coagulopathy showed significant improvements in oxygenation over the first 4 days, patients with TEP coagulopathy showed no significant improvement (ΔPaO2/FiO2 ratio, 24 ± 20 vs. 90 ± 9; p = 0.026). Furthermore, anticoagulant use was significantly correlated with mortality and oxygenation recovery in patients with TEP coagulopathy but not in patients without TEP coagulopathy. CONCLUSION: TEP coagulopathy is closely associated with better outcomes and responses to anticoagulant therapy in sepsis-induced ARDS, and our coagulopathy criteria may be clinically useful.Trial registrationFORECAST study: UMIN-CTR ID: UMIN000019742.

- Gender Disparities in First Authorship at Three Medical Universities in an Area Affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake.The Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011, was one of the largest natural disasters in modern times. Publication in medical journals is important aspects of the academic promotion process, and is thus important for all scientists. However, little is known about whether and how substantial natural disasters affect gender disparities in academic productivity in disaster-affected areas. We hypothesized that the Great East Japan Earthquake widened the existing disparities in scientific publishing between male and female researchers. To test this hypothesis, this retrospective observational study using existing databases was conducted. We extracted from the MEDLINE database all types of biomedical articles published from March 11, 2007, to March 11, 2015, by three medical universities in a disaster-affected area of Japan. Differences in the proportion of female first authorship during the 4 years before and after the Great East Japan Earthquake were compared. A total of 5,873 papers were analyzed. The proportion of female first authors significantly declined after the Great East Japan Earthquake (20.5% vs. 14.1%; odds ratio 0.64; 95% confidence interval 0.56-0.73). A similar trend was identified across all prespecified subgroups, including clinical department; original article; public medical university; and prestigious journal with impact factor >6. Reference data from two medical universities minimally affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake showed the opposite trend. These results collectively suggest that large natural disasters can reinforce existing gender disparities in first authorship in biomedicine.Aug. 2023, The Kobe journal of medical sciences, 69(2) (2), E64-E78, English, Domestic magazineScientific journal
- The ongoing coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased the need for healthcare professionals to perform emergency endotracheal intubation (ETI) in patients with COVID-19-related respiratory failure outside of the operating room. Difficult airways and severe airway-related adverse events occur much more frequently in such settings due to limited time and resources as well as the patient’s reduced physiological reserve. The gum elastic bougie (GEB) intubation tube is an inexpensive, simple, and readily transportable aid to intubation, but its effectiveness in emergency airway management has not been comprehensively evaluated in recent years. Here, we performed a literature review and have updated the available evidence on the utility of GEB in emergency airway management. After a systematic MEDLINE search, we identified 36 relevant reports that compared GEB with alternative airway management approaches in a variety of real-world and simulated settings. In most studies, GEB increased the first-pass ETI success rate and decreased the force applied on the tongue and incisors during laryngoscopy. GEB also increased the speed, safety, and reliability of emergency cricothyrotomy. Conflicting results were obtained in studies examining GEB use for ETI during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and other special circumstances such as selective lung ventilation, the presence of vomitus, and the use of personal protective equipment. These results suggest that GEB use could be expanded beyond difficult airways and rescue after failed ETI attempts, but further studies will be necessary to determine the utility of GEB under special conditions. Because fatal airway-related adverse events can in part be attributed to limited accessibility of proper airway management equipment, devices such as GEB may increase successful outcomes, especially under the overwhelmingly challenging conditions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.MRE Press, Aug. 2023, Signa Vitae, doi:10.22514/sv.2023.074. - doi:10.22514/sv.2023.074., English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Overactivated microglia play a key role in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE), although the involvement of T cells is unclear. γδT cells in the brain and meninges regulate normal fear responses via interleukin (IL)-17 in healthy mice. In our sepsis model, the mice showed exacerbated anxious behavior at 10 days post-induction (dpi). At 8 dpi, IL-17 mRNA was significantly upregulated in the brains of septic mice compared with those of control mice. Simultaneously, the number of γδT cells increased in the brains of septic mice in a severity-dependent manner. Additionally, IL-17-producing γδT cells, expressing both the C-X-C motif receptor (CXCR) 6 and the C-C motif receptor (CCR) 6, increased in mice brains, dependent on the severity of sepsis. The frequency of γδT cells in the meninges fluctuated similarly to that in the brain, peaking at 8 dpi of sepsis. Behavioral tests were performed on septic mice after the continuous administration of anti-γδTCR (α-γδTCR) or anti-IL-17A (α-IL-17A) antibodies to deplete the γδT cells and IL-17A, respectively. Compared with IgG-treated septic mice, α-γδTCR- and α-IL-17A-treated septic mice showed suppressed microglial activation and improvements in anxious behavior. These results suggested that CCR6+CXCR6+ IL-17-producing γδT cells in the brain and meninges promote the exacerbation of SAE and sepsis-induced psychological disorders in mice.MDPI AG, Jun. 2023, Journal of Clinical Medicine, 12(13) (13), 4309 - 4309Scientific journal

- Burn injury is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide and places a tremendous economic burden on society. Systemic inflammatory responses induced by thermal burn injury can cause muscle wasting, a severe involuntary loss of skeletal muscle that adversely affects the survival and functional outcomes of these patients. Currently, no pharmacological interventions are available for the treatment of thermal burn-induced skeletal muscle wasting. Elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), are important hallmarks of severe burn injury. The levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)—a downstream component of IL-6 inflammatory signaling—are elevated with muscle wasting in various pro-catabolic conditions, and STAT3 has been implicated in the regulation of skeletal muscle atrophy. Here, we tested the effects of the STAT3-specific signaling inhibitor C188-9 on thermal burn injury-induced skeletal muscle wasting in vivo and on C2C12 myotube atrophy in vitro after the administration of plasma from burn model mice. In mice, thermal burn injury severity dependently increased IL-6 in the plasma and tibialis anterior muscles and activated the STAT3 (increased ratio of phospho-STAT3/STAT3) and ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathways (increased Atrogin-1/MAFbx and MuRF1). These effects resulted in skeletal muscle atrophy and reduced grip strength. In murine C2C12 myotubes, plasma from burn mice activated the same inflammatory and proteolytic pathways, leading to myotube atrophy. In mice with burn injury, the intraperitoneal injection of C188-9 (50 mg/kg) reduced activation of the STAT3 and ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathways, reversed skeletal muscle atrophy, and increased grip strength. Similarly, pretreatment of murine C2C12 myotubes with C188-9 (10 µM) reduced activation of the same inflammatory and proteolytic pathways, and ameliorated myotube atrophy induced by plasma taken from burn model mice. Collectively, these results indicate that pharmacological inhibition of STAT3 signaling may be a novel therapeutic strategy for thermal burn-induced skeletal muscle wasting.Frontiers Media SA, Dec. 2022, Frontiers in Pharmacology, 13Scientific journal

- Muscle mass is an important factor for surviving an illness. Ultrasound has gained increased attention as a muscle mass assessment method because of its noninvasiveness and portability. However, data on the frequency of ultrasound-based muscle mass assessment are limited, and there are some barriers to its implementation. Hence, a web-based cross-sectional survey was conducted on healthcare providers in Japan, which comprised four parts: 1) participant characteristics; 2) general muscle mass assessment; 3) ultrasound-based muscle mass assessment; and 4) the necessity of, interest in, and barriers to its implementation. Necessity and interest were assessed using an 11-point Likert scale, whereas barriers were assessed using a 5-point Likert scale, in which “Strongly agree” and “Agree” were counted for the analysis. Of the 1,058 responders, 1,026 participants, comprising 282 physicians, 489 physical therapists, 84 occupational therapists, 120 nurses, and 51 dieticians, were included in the analysis. In total, 93% of the participants were familiar with general muscle mass assessment, and 64% had conducted it. Ultrasound-based muscle mass assessment was performed by 21% of the participants. Necessity and interest scored 7 (6–8) and 8 (7–10), respectively for ultrasound-based muscle mass assessment. The barriers to its implementation included lack of relevant education (84%), limited staff (61%), and absence of fixed protocol (61%). Regardless of the necessity of and interest in ultrasound-based muscle mass assessment, it was only conducted by one-fifth of the healthcare providers, and the most important barrier to its implementation was lack of education.Public Library of Science (PLoS), Nov. 2022, PLOS ONE, 17(11) (11), e0276855 - e0276855Scientific journal

- Abstract Background Thyrocervical trunk rupture is an unusual, but critical, complication associated with central venous catheter (CVC) placement. The management of this complication has not been fully determined because it is rare. Case presentation A 53-year-old Japanese woman with anorexia nervosa developed refractory ventricular fibrillation. After returning spontaneous circulation, a CVC was successfully placed at the initial attempt in the right internal jugular vein using real-time ultrasound guidance. Immediately after CVC placement, she developed enlarging swelling around the neck. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed massive contrast media extravasation around the neck and mediastinum. Brachiocephalic artery angiography showed a “blush” appearance of the ruptured right thyrocervical trunk. After selective arterial embolization with 33% N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, the extravasation completely disappeared and hemostasis was achieved. Conclusion Our findings suggest that severe vascular complications arising from CVC placement can occur in patients with a fragile physiological state. Endovascular embolization is an effective treatment for such complications.Springer Science and Business Media LLC, Sep. 2022, JA Clinical Reports, 8(1) (1)Scientific journal
- Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) comprises physical, mental, and cognitive disorders following a severe illness. The impact of PICS on long-term prognosis has not been fully investigated. This study aimed to: (1) clarify the frequency and clinical characteristics of PICS in sepsis patients and (2) explore the relationship between PICS occurrence and 2-year survival. Patients with sepsis admitted to intensive care unit were enrolled. Data on patient background; clinical information since admission; physical, mental, and cognitive impairments at 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-sepsis onset; 2-year survival; and cause of death were obtained from electronic medical records and telephonic interviews with patients and their families. At 3 months, comparisons of variables were undertaken in the PICS group and the non-PICS group. Among the 77 participants, the in-hospital mortality rate was 11% and the 2-year mortality rate was 52%. The frequencies of PICS at 3, 6, and 12 months were 70%, 60%, and 35%, respectively. The 2-year survival was lower in the PICS group than in the non-PICS group (54% vs. 94%, p < 0.01). More than half of the survivors had PICS at 3 and 6 months after sepsis. Among survivors with sepsis, those who developed PICS after 3 months had a lower 2-year survival.MDPI AG, Sep. 2022, Journal of Clinical Medicine, 11(18) (18), 5257 - 5257Scientific journal

- Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces the risk of bleeding trauma death without altering the need for blood transfusion. We examined the effects of TXA on coagulation and fibrinolysis dynamics and the volume of transfusion during the early stage of trauma. This subanalysis of a prospective multicenter study of severe trauma included 276 patients divided into propensity score-matched groups with and without TXA administration. The effects of TXA on coagulation and fibrinolysis markers immediately at (time point 0) and 3 hours after (time point 3) arrival at the emergency department were investigated. The transfusion volume was determined at 24 hours after admission. TXA was administered to the patients within 3 hours (median, 64 minutes) after injury. Significant reductions in fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products and D-dimer levels from time points 0 to 3 in the TXA group compared with the non-TXA group were confirmed, with no marked differences noted in the 24-hour transfusion volumes between the 2 groups. Continuously increased levels of soluble fibrin, a marker of thrombin generation, from time points 0 to 3 and high levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, a marker of inhibition of fibrinolysis, at time point 3 were observed in both groups. TXA inhibited fibrin(ogen)olysis during the early stage of severe trauma, although this was not associated with a reduction in the transfusion volume. Other confounders affecting the dynamics of fibrinolysis and transfusion requirement need to be clarified.Aug. 2022, Medicine, 101(32) (32), e29711, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND: The updated Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines recommend a 1-hour window for completion of a sepsis care bundle; however, the effectiveness of the hour-1 bundle has not been fully evaluated. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of hour-1 bundle completion on clinical outcomes in sepsis patients. METHODS: This was a multicenter, prospective, observational study conducted in 17 intensive care units in tertiary hospitals in Japan. We included all adult patients who were diagnosed as having sepsis by Sepsis-3 and admitted to intensive care units from July 2019 to August 2020. Impacts of hour-1 bundle adherence and delay of adherence on risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality were estimated by multivariable logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: The final study cohort included 178 patients with sepsis. Among them, 89 received bundle-adherent care. Completion rates of each component (measure lactate level, obtain blood cultures, administer broad-spectrum antibiotics, administer crystalloid, apply vasopressors) within 1 hour were 98.9%, 86.2%, 51.1%, 94.9%, and 69.1%, respectively. Completion rate of all components within 1 hour was 50%. In-hospital mortality was 18.0% in the patients with and 30.3% in the patients without bundle-adherent care (p = 0.054). The adjusted odds ratio of non-bundle-adherent versus bundle-adherent care for in-hospital mortality was 2.32 (95% CI 1.09-4.95) using propensity scoring. Non-adherence to obtaining blood cultures and administering broad-spectrum antibiotics within 1 hour was related to in-hospital mortality (2.65 [95% CI 1.25-5.62] and 4.81 [95% CI 1.38-16.72], respectively). The adjusted odds ratio for 1-hour delay in achieving hour-1 bundle components for in-hospital mortality was 1.28 (95% CI 1.04-1.57) by logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSION: Completion of the hour-1 bundle was associated with lower in-hospital mortality. Obtaining blood cultures and administering antibiotics within 1 hour may have been the components most contributing to decreased in-hospital mortality.2022, PloS one, 17(2) (2), e0263936, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Background: Sepsis-induced muscle atrophy leads to prolonged physical dysfunction. Although the interaction of muscle atrophy and macrophage has been reported in sepsis, the role of neutrophils in muscle atrophy has not been thoroughly investigated. This study sought to investigate the long-term changes in muscle-localized neutrophils after sepsis induction and their possible role in sepsis. Methods: Sepsis was induced in seven-week-old male C57BL/6J mice 8-12 (cecal slurry [CS] model) via intraperitoneal injection of 1 mg/g cecal slurry. The percentage change in body weight and grip strength was evaluated. The tibialis anterior muscles were dissected for microscopic examination of the cross-sectional area of myofibers or Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis of immune cells. These changes were evaluated in the following conditions: (1) Longitudinal change until day 61, (2) CS concentration-dependent change on day 14 at the low (0.3 mg/g), middle (1.0 mg/g), and high (2.0 mg/g) concentrations, and (3) CS mice on day 14 treated with an anti-Ly6G antibody that depletes neutrophils. Results: Body weight and grip strength were significantly lower in the CS model until day 61 (body weight: 123.1% ± 1.8% vs. 130.3% ± 2.5%, p = 0.04; grip strength: 104.5% ± 3.8% vs. 119.3% ± 5.3%, p = 0.04). Likewise, cross-sectional muscle area gradually decreased until day 61 from the CS induction (895.6 [606.0-1304.9] μm2 vs. 718.8 [536.2-937.0] μm2, p < 0.01). The number of muscle-localized neutrophils increased from 2.3 ± 0.6 cell/mg on day 0 to 22.2 ± 13.0 cell/mg on day 14, and decreased thereafter. In terms of CS concentration-dependent change, cross-sectional area was smaller (484.4 ± 221.2 vs. 825.8 ± 436.2 μm2 [p < 0.001]) and grip strength was lower (71.4% ± 12.8% vs. 116.3% ± 7.4%, p = 0.01) in the CS High group compared with the control, with increased neutrophils (p = 0.03). Ly6G-depleted mice demonstrated significant increase of muscle cross-sectional area and grip strength compared with control mice (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Sepsis causes infiltration of neutrophils in muscles, leading to muscle atrophy and weakness. Depletion of neutrophils in muscle reverses sepsis-induced muscle atrophy and weakness. These results suggest that neutrophils may play a critical role in sepsis-induced muscle atrophy and weakness.2022, Frontiers in immunology, 13, 950646 - 950646, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Injured patients requiring definitive intervention, such as surgery or transarterial embolization (TAE), are an extremely time-sensitive population. The effect of an emergency physician (EP) patient care delivery system in this important trauma subset remains unclear. We aimed to clarify whether the preoperative time course and mortality among injured patients differ between ambulances staffed by EPs and those staffed by emergency life-saving technicians (ELST). This was a retrospective cohort study at a community emergency department (ED) in Japan. We included all injured patients requiring emergency surgery or TAE who were transported directly from the ED to the operating room from January 2002 to December 2019. The primary exposure was dispatch of an EP-staffed ambulance to the prehospital scene. The primary outcome measures were preoperative time course including prehospital length of stay (LOS), ED LOS, and total time to definitive intervention. The other outcome of interest was in-hospital mortality. One-to-one propensity score matching was performed to compare these outcomes between the groups. Of the 1,020 eligible patients, 353 (34.6%) were transported to the ED by an EP-staffed ambulance. In the propensity score-matched analysis with 295 pairs, the EP group showed a significant increase in median prehospital LOS (71.0 min vs. 41.0 min, P < 0.001) and total time to definitive intervention (189.0 min vs. 177.0 min, P = 0.002) in comparison with the ELST group. Conversely, ED LOS was significantly shorter in the EP group than in the ELST group (120.0 min vs. 131.0 min, P = 0.043). There was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups (8.8% vs.9.8%, P = 0.671). At a community hospital in Japan, EP-staffed ambulances were found to be associated with prolonged prehospital time, delay in definitive treatment, and did not improve survival among injured patients needing definitive hemostatic procedures compared with ELST-staffed ambulances.Public Library of Science (PLoS), Nov. 2021, PLOS ONE, 16(11) (11), e0259733 - e0259733Scientific journal

- ABSTRACT: Glycemic control strategies for sepsis have changed significantly over the last decade, but their impact on dysglycemia and its associated outcomes has been poorly understood. In addition, there is controversy regarding the detrimental effects of hyperglycemia in sepsis. To evaluate the incidence and risks of dysglycemia under current strategy, we conducted a preplanned subanalysis of the sepsis cohort in a prospective, multicenter FORECAST study. A total of 1,140 patients with severe sepsis, including 259 patients with pre-existing diabetes, were included. Median blood glucose levels were approximately 140 mg/dL at 0 and 72 h indicating that blood glucose was moderately controlled. The rate of initial and late hyperglycemia was 27.3% and 21.7%, respectively. The rate of early hypoglycemic episodes during the initial 24 h was 13.2%. Glycemic control was accompanied by a higher percentage of initial and late hyperglycemia but not with early hypoglycemic episodes, suggesting that glycemic control was targeted at excess hyperglycemia. In nondiabetic patients, late hyperglycemia (hazard ratio, 95% confidence interval; P value: 1.816, 1.116-2.955, 0.016) and early hypoglycemic episodes (1.936, 1.180-3.175, 0.009) were positively associated with in-hospital mortality. Further subgroup analysis suggested that late hyperglycemia and early hypoglycemic episodes independently, and probably synergistically, affect the outcomes. In diabetic patients, however, these correlations were not observed. In conclusion, a significantly high incidence of dysglycemia was observed in our sepsis cohort under moderate glycemic control. Late hyperglycemia in addition to early hypoglycemia was associated with poor outcomes at least in nondiabetic patients. More sophisticated approaches are necessary to reduce the incidence of these serious complications.Oct. 2021, Shock (Augusta, Ga.), 56(4) (4), 507 - 513, English, International magazineScientific journal

Background: Physicians currently measure the pupil diameter and the pupillary light reflex with visual observations using a ruler and a traditional penlight, leading to possibly inaccurate and subjective assessments. Although a mobile pupillometer has been developed and is available in clinical settings, this device can only assess one pupil at a time. Hence, an indirect pupillary light reflex, including those under irradiation to the opposite side of pupil, cannot be evaluated. Consequently, we have developed a new automatic mobile pupilometer, the Hitomiru®, with Hitomiru Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). This device is a two-glass type pupilometer with a video recording system. The pupil diameter and light reflex of both pupils can be measured simultaneously; therefore, both indirect and direct light reflexes can be assessed.Purpose: To evaluate the clinical ability of the Hitomiru® pupilometer to assess the pupil diameter and the pupillary light reflex of healthy volunteers and patients with intracranial lesions in an intensive care unit (ICU).Methods: Twenty-five healthy volunteers and five ICU patients with intracranial lesions on only the left side were assessed using the Hitomiru® pupilometer. The protocol was as follows: infrared light was applied to both pupils, followed by visible light to the right pupil, infrared light to both pupils, visible light to the left pupil, and then infrared light to both pupils. All the intervals were 2 s, and the dynamics of pupil diameters on both sides were continuously recorded.Results: The healthy adults had approximately 0.5 mm anisocoria, miosis was harder, and mydriasis was less with increased age. There were several differences in miosis rates, miosis times, and mydriasis rates between the healthy adults and the patients with intracranial lesions with both direct irradiation and indirect irradiation.Conclusions: The initial trial estimated and digitally recorded direct and indirect light reflexes, including rapidity of miosis after direct and indirect lights on, and mydriasis after direct and indirect lights off. The Hitomiru® pupilometer was a useful device to digitally record and investigate the relationship between pupil reflexes and intracranial diseases.[Refereed]Scientific journal - (一社)日本集中治療医学会, Sep. 2021, 日本集中治療医学会雑誌, 28(Suppl.2) (Suppl.2), 229 - 229, Japanese日本版敗血症ガイドライン2020;ダイジェスト・多職種チームの重要性 日本版敗血症診療ガイドライン2020における多職種連携

- BACKGROUND: The clinical frailty scale (CFS) score has been validated as a predictor of adverse outcomes in community-dwelling older people. Older people are at a higher risk of sepsis and have a higher mortality rate. However, the association of frailty on outcomes in patients with sepsis has not been completely examined. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the association between CFS and outcomes in patients with sepsis. DESIGN: This was a multicenter prospective cohort substudy. SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS: The study included 37 emergency departments from across Japan. The patients (age ≥16 years) were included in this study if they had suspected infection at an emergency department during December 2017-February 2018. OUTCOME MEASURE AND ANALYSIS: The primary outcome was 28-day mortality, stratified by the CFS score categories. The secondary outcomes were the duration of hospital stay, number of ICU-free days (ICUFDs) and number of ventilator-free days (VFDs). MAIN RESULTS: A total of 917 patients were included. The median age was 79 years. The CFS score was associated with an increased risk of 28-day mortality and with a higher likelihood of long-term hospital stay and short-term VFDs and ICUFDs. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the CFS score was a predictor of 28-day mortality [odds ratio (OR), 1.26; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.11-1.42]. CONCLUSIONS: This study reported that in patients with suspected sepsis in the emergency department, frailty may be associated with poor prognosis and length of hospital stay.Aug. 2021, European journal of emergency medicine : official journal of the European Society for Emergency Medicine, 28(4) (4), 285 - 291, English, International magazineScientific journal

- Ultrasound has become widely used as a means to measure the rectus femoris muscle in the acute and chronic phases of critical illness. Despite its noninvasiveness and accessibility, its accuracy highly depends on the skills of the technician. However, few ultrasound phantoms for the confirmation of its accuracy or to improve technical skills exist. In this study, the authors created a novel phantom model and used it for investigating the accuracy of measurements and for training. Study 1 investigated how various conditions affect ultrasound measurements such as thickness, cross-sectional area, and echogenicity. Study 2 investigated if the phantom can be used for the training of various health care providers in vitro and in vivo. Study 1 showed that thickness, cross-sectional area, and echogenicity were affected by probe compression strength, probe angle, phantom compression, and varying equipment. Study 2 in vitro showed that using the phantom for training improved the accuracy of the measurements taken within the phantom, and Study 2 in vivo showed the phantom training had a short-term effect on improving the measurement accuracy in a human volunteer. The new ultrasound phantom model revealed that various conditions affected ultrasound measurements, and phantom training improved the measurement accuracy.Jun. 2021, Journal of clinical medicine, 10(12) (12), English, International magazineScientific journal

- Trauma patients die from massive bleeding due to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) with a fibrinolytic phenotype in the early phase, which transforms to DIC with a thrombotic phenotype in the late phase of trauma, contributing to the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and a consequently poor outcome. This is a sub-analysis of a multicenter prospective descriptive cross-sectional study on DIC to evaluate the effect of a DIC diagnosis on the survival probability and predictive performance of DIC scores for massive transfusion, MODS, and hospital death in severely injured trauma patients. A DIC diagnosis on admission was associated with a lower survival probability (Log Rank P < 0.001), higher frequency of massive transfusion and MODS and a higher mortality rate than no such diagnosis. The DIC scores at 0 and 3 h significantly predicted massive transfusion, MODS, and hospital death. Markers of thrombin and plasmin generation and fibrinolysis inhibition also showed a good predictive ability for these three items. In conclusion, a DIC diagnosis on admission was associated with a low survival probability. DIC scores obtained immediately after trauma predicted a poor prognosis of severely injured trauma patients.May 2021, Scientific reports, 11(1) (1), 11031 - 11031, English, International magazineScientific journal
- A single-center retrospective cohort study examined the association between molar malocclusion status at ICU admission and loss of activities of daily living (ADL) at hospital discharge among acutely ill patients. Patients were assigned to the bilateral occlusion group or malocclusion group (N = 227 and 93, respectively). The following data were collected from electronic medical records: age, sex, Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) on admission, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score, confirmed diagnosis (neurological disorders or others), CFS at hospital discharge, and occlusion condition. Patients who were frail at admission (CFS > 5) were excluded from analysis, and ADL loss was defined as CFS > 5 at hospital discharge. Multivariate analysis showed malocclusion was independently associated with ADL loss [OR, 2.03; 95% CI, 1.13-3.64; p = 0.02]. For those aged 65 and older, malocclusion was significantly associated with both ADL loss [OR, 3.25; 95% CI, 1.44-7.32; p < 0.01] and the incidence of delirium [OR, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.14-5.95; p = 0.02]. Malocclusion on ICU admission was associated with ADL loss in critically ill patients, and was associated with ADL loss and the incidence of delirium in the elderly. Poor oral health was a poor prognostic factor among critically ill patients.May 2021, Journal of clinical medicine, 10(10) (10), English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Information on hyperoxemia among patients with trauma has been limited, other than traumatic brain injuries. This study aimed to elucidate whether hyperoxemia during resuscitation of patients with trauma was associated with unfavorable outcomes. METHODS: A post hoc analysis of a prospective observational study was carried out at 39 tertiary hospitals in 2016-2018 in adult patients with trauma and injury severity score (ISS) of > 15. Hyperoxemia during resuscitation was defined as PaO2 of ≥ 300 mmHg on hospital arrival and/or 3 h after arrival. Intensive care unit (ICU)-free days were compared between patients with and without hyperoxemia. An inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPW) analysis was conducted to adjust patient characteristics including age, injury mechanism, comorbidities, vital signs on presentation, chest injury severity, and ISS. Analyses were stratified with intubation status at the emergency department (ED). The association between biomarkers and ICU length of stay were then analyzed with multivariate models. RESULTS: Among 295 severely injured trauma patients registered, 240 were eligible for analysis. Patients in the hyperoxemia group (n = 58) had shorter ICU-free days than those in the non-hyperoxemia group [17 (10-21) vs 23 (16-26), p < 0.001]. IPW analysis revealed the association between hyperoxemia and prolonged ICU stay among patients not intubated at the ED [ICU-free days = 16 (12-22) vs 23 (19-26), p = 0.004], but not among those intubated at the ED [18 (9-20) vs 15 (8-23), p = 0.777]. In the hyperoxemia group, high inflammatory markers such as soluble RAGE and HMGB-1, as well as low lung-protective proteins such as surfactant protein D and Clara cell secretory protein, were associated with prolonged ICU stay. CONCLUSIONS: Hyperoxemia until 3 h after hospital arrival was associated with prolonged ICU stay among severely injured trauma patients not intubated at the ED.

- Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is a physical, cognitive, and mental impairment observed in intensive care unit (ICU) survivors. Although this is an emerging problem in the ICU, how sepsis induces the characteristic symptoms of PICS remains unclear. To develop a model of PICS, we induced sepsis in male C57/B6 mice via sublethal cecum slurry injection and subsequently treated them using ICU-like interventions. At 1-2 weeks post-sepsis induction, we simultaneously evaluated the abilities of the surviving mice using the following behavioral tests: (1) a grip strength test (GST) and a treadmill test for physical assessment, (2) a novel object recognition test (NORT) for cognitive assessment, and (3) an open field test (OFT) and a marble burying test (MBT) for mental assessment. The surviving mice showed a range of deficits, including muscle weakness with significantly decreased grip strength in the GST; decreased total mileage during the treadmill test; anxiety and decreased activity, with significantly decreased time in the central area, and increased duration of immobility in the OFT; and an increased number of buried marbles in the MBT. Given these physical and mental impairments in the surviving mice, our model has the potential to elucidate mechanistic insights and to discover therapeutic targets and new interventions for PICS.Apr. 2021, Journal of clinical medicine, 10(8) (8), English, International magazineScientific journal
- Background: Publication in a scientific journal is the desired outcome of the research cycle. However, previous anesthesiology research has not thoroughly examined factors predictive of subsequent publication after a meeting presentation. We aimed to assess the rate of peer-reviewed publication of abstracts presented at the Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists (JSA) annual meetings and identify factors associated with successful publication. Methods: This study included all abstracts presented at JSA meetings from 2015 to 2017. The outcome of interest was subsequent publication of abstracts in journals included in the MEDLINE database within 36 months after presentation. Differences between published and non-published abstracts were evaluated. Results: Among the 2,418 eligible abstracts, 487 were published within 3 years (publication rate, 20.1%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that factors independently associated with subsequent publication were: presentation style (poster discussions: adjusted odds ratios (AOR) 1.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.31-2.20; excellent abstracts: AOR 2.82, 95% CI 1.98-4.01); basic research (AOR 4.39, 95%CI 3.23-5.96), male first author (AOR 1.41, 95% CI 1.09-1.81); region (Kansai: AOR 2.16, 95% CI 1.57-2.99; abroad: AOR 4.57, 95% CI 2.58-8.09); facility characteristics (private university: AOR 3.97, 95% CI 2.60-6.08; public university: AOR 3.53, 95%CI 2.35-5.30; medical company: AOR 16.70, 95% CI 3.75-74.46); and number of collaborating facilities (two: AOR 1.50, 95% CI 1.15-1.97; three: AOR 1.83, 95% CI 1.23-2.73; four: AOR 2.40, 95% CI 1.27-4.54). Conclusions: Approximately one-fifth of abstracts presented at JSA meetings are published in peer-reviewed journals within 3 years. Factors independently associated with subsequent full publication are presentation style, basic research, male gender, specific region, affiliation characteristics, and number of collaborating facilities. Our data should stimulate further studies that elucidate ways to assist the full publication process of meeting abstracts.MRE Press, Mar. 2021, Signa Vitae, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- ABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify prognostic factors for severe sepsis-related in-hospital mortality using the structural equation model (SEM) analysis with statistical causality. Sepsis data from the Focused Outcomes Research in Emergency Care in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Sepsis, and Trauma study (FORECAST), a multicenter cohort study, was used. Forty seven observed variables from the database were used to construct 4 latent variables. SEM analysis was performed on these latent variables to analyze the statistical causality among these data. This study evaluated whether the variables had an effect on in-hospital mortality. Overall, 1148 patients were enrolled. The SEM analysis showed that the 72-hour physical condition was the strongest latent variable affecting mortality, followed by physical condition before treatment. Furthermore, the 72-hour physical condition and the physical condition before treatment strongly influenced the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score with path coefficients of 0.954 and 0.845, respectively. The SOFA score was the strongest variable that affected mortality after the onset of severe sepsis. The score remains the most robust prognostic factor and can facilitate appropriate policy development on care.Feb. 2021, Medicine, 100(8) (8), e24844, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND: There is no one-size-fits-all empiric antimicrobial therapy for sepsis because the pathogens vary according to the site of infection and have changed over time. Therefore, updating knowledge on the spectrum of pathogens is necessary for the rapid administration of appropriate antimicrobials. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to elucidate the current spectrum of pathogens and its variation by site of infection in sepsis. METHODS: This was a prospective nationwide cohort study of consecutive adult patients with sepsis in 59 intensive care units in Japan. The spectrum of pathogens was evaluated in all patients and in subgroups by site of infection. Regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the associations between the pathogens and mortality. RESULTS: The study cohort comprised 1184 patients. The most common pathogen was Escherichia coli (21.5%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (9.0%). However, the pattern varied widely by site of infection; for example, gram-positive bacteria were the dominant pathogen in bone/soft tissue infection (55.7%) and cardiovascular infection (52.6%), but were rarely identified in urinary tract infection (6.4%). In contrast, gram-negative bacteria were the predominant pathogens in abdominal infection (38.4%) and urinary tract infection (72.0%). The highest mortality of 47.5% was observed in patients infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which was significantly associated with an increased risk of death (odds ratio 1.88, 95% confidence interval 1.22-2.91). CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed the current spectrum of pathogens and its variation based on the site of infection, which is essential for empiric antimicrobial therapy against sepsis.Feb. 2021, International journal of infectious diseases : IJID : official publication of the International Society for Infectious Diseases, 103, 343 - 351, English, International magazineScientific journal

- Current research regarding the association between body mass index (BMI) and altered clinical outcomes of sepsis in Asian populations is insufficient. We investigated the association between BMI and clinical outcomes using two Japanese cohorts of severe sepsis (derivation cohort, Chiba University Hospital, n = 614; validation cohort, multicenter cohort, n = 1561). Participants were categorized into the underweight (BMI < 18.5) and non-underweight (BMI ≥ 18.5) groups. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. Univariate analysis of the derivation cohort indicated increased 28-day mortality trend in the underweight group compared to the non-underweight group (underweight 24.4% [20/82 cases] vs. non-underweight 16.0% [85/532 cases]; p = 0.060). In the primary analysis, multivariate analysis adjusted for baseline imbalance revealed that patients in the underweight group had a significantly increased 28-day mortality compared to those in the non-underweight group (p = 0.031, adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.91, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-3.46). In a repeated analysis using a multicenter validation cohort (underweight n = 343, non-underweight n = 1218), patients in the underweight group had a significantly increased 28-day mortality compared to those in the non-underweight group (p = 0.045, OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.00-1.97). In conclusion, patients with a BMI < 18.5 had a significantly increased 28-day mortality compared to those with a BMI ≥ 18.5 in Japanese cohorts with severe sepsis.Jan. 2021, Scientific reports, 11(1) (1), 1615 - 1615, English, International magazineScientific journal

- Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI)-associated coagulopathy is a widely recognized risk factor for secondary brain damage and contributes to poor clinical outcomes. Various theories, including disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), have been proposed regarding its pathomechanisms; no consensus has been reached thus far. This study aimed to elucidate the pathophysiology of TBI-induced coagulopathy by comparing coagulofibrinolytic changes in isolated TBI (iTBI) to those in non-TBI, to determine the associated factors, and identify the clinical significance of DIC diagnosis in patients with iTBI. Methods: This secondary multicenter, prospective study assessed patients with severe trauma. iTBI was defined as Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) scores ≥4 in the head and neck, and ≤2 in other body parts. Non-TBI was defined as AIS scores ≥4 in single body parts other than the head and neck, and the absence of AIS scores ≥3 in any other trauma-affected parts. Specific biomarkers for thrombin and plasmin generation, anticoagulation, and fibrinolysis inhibition were measured at the presentation to the emergency department (0 h) and 3 h after arrival. Results: We analyzed 34 iTBI and 40 non-TBI patients. Baseline characteristics, transfusion requirements and in-hospital mortality did not significantly differ between groups. The changes in coagulation/fibrinolysis-related biomarkers were similar. Lactate levels in the iTBI group positively correlated with DIC scores (rho = -0.441, p = 0.017), but not with blood pressure (rho = -0.098, p = 0.614). Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that the injury severity score was an independent predictor of DIC development in patients with iTBI (odds ratio = 1.237, p = 0.018). Patients with iTBI were further subdivided into two groups: DIC (n = 15) and non-DIC (n = 19) groups. Marked thrombin and plasmin generation were observed in all patients with iTBI, especially those with DIC. Patients with iTBI and DIC had higher requirements for massive transfusion and emergency surgery, and higher in-hospital mortality than those without DIC. Furthermore, DIC development significantly correlated with poor hospital survival; DIC scores at 0 h were predictive of in-hospital mortality. Conclusions: Coagulofibrinolytic changes in iTBI and non-TBI patients were identical, and consistent with the pathophysiology of DIC. DIC diagnosis in the early phase of TBI is key in predicting the outcomes of severe TBI.2021, Frontiers in medicine, 8, 767637 - 767637, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Frailty is associated with morbidity and mortality in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). However, the characteristics of frail patients with suspected infection remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the characteristics and outcomes of frail patients with suspected infection in ICUs. METHODS: This is a secondary analysis of a multicenter cohort study, including 22 ICUs in Japan. Adult patients (aged ≥16 years) with newly suspected infection from December 2017 to May 2018 were included. We compared baseline patient characteristics and outcomes among three frailty groups based on the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score: fit (score, 1-3), vulnerable (score, 4), and frail (score, 5-9). We conducted subgroup analysis of patients with sepsis defined as per Sepsis-3 criteria. We also produced Kaplan-Meier survival curves for 90-day survival. RESULTS: We enrolled 650 patients with suspected infection, including 599 (92.2%) patients with sepsis. Patients with a median CFS score of 3 (interquartile range [IQR] 3-5) were included: 337 (51.8%) were fit, 109 (16.8%) were vulnerable, and 204 (31.4%) were frail. The median patient age was 72 years (IQR 60-81). The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores for fit, vulnerable, and frail patients were 7 (IQR 4-10), 8 (IQR 5-11), and 7 (IQR 5-10), respectively (p = 0.59). The median body temperatures of fit, vulnerable, and frail patients were 37.5 °C (IQR 36.5 °C-38.5 °C), 37.5 °C (IQR 36.4 °C-38.6 °C), and 37.0 °C (IQR 36.3 °C-38.1 °C), respectively (p < 0.01). The median C-reactive protein levels of fit, vulnerable, and frail patients were 13.6 (IQR 4.6-24.5), 12.1 (IQR 3.9-24.9), 10.5 (IQR 3.0-21.0) mg/dL, respectively (p < 0.01). In-hospital mortality did not statistically differ among the patients according to frailty (p = 0.19). Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed little difference in the mortality rate during short-term follow-up. However, more vulnerable and frail patients died after 30-day than fit patients; this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.25). Compared with the fit and vulnerable groups, the rate of home discharge was lower in the frail group. CONCLUSION: Frail and vulnerable patients with suspected infection tend to have poor disease outcomes. However, they did not show a statistically significant increase in the 90-day mortality risk.Nov. 2020, BMC geriatrics, 20(1) (1), 485 - 485, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) increases not only morbidity and mortality but has been associated with long-lasting mental impairment after hospital discharge in septic patients. Recently, studies have shown that these mental impairments are caused by infection-induced neuroinflammation. However, the role of T cells in the pathogenesis of SAE and mental impairments remains unclear. Thus, in this study, we aimed to clarify how immune cells, especially T cells, influence the development and recovery of these disorders. In the cecal slurry (CS)-induced septic mouse model, we performed three different kinds of behavioral tests, open-field test, marble burying test, and forced swimming test, and observed anxiety-like behavior in septic mice. Additionally, increased interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 expression levels, and infiltration of neutrophils and T cells were examined in the brain of septic mice, 10 days after sepsis onset. Twenty days after sepsis onset, the septic mice could recover the number of astrocytes. At day 30, expression levels of IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α returned to normal levels in the cerebral cortex of septic mice. Interestingly, resolution of neuroinflammation and alleviation of depression were delayed in septic mice treated with FTY720, which inhibits sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)-dependent lymphocyte egress from lymph nodes. On analyzing the brain T cells with or without FTY720 in septic mice, the FTY720 untreated mice presented increased regulatory T cells (Treg) and Th2 cells in the brain, whereas the FTY720 treated mice demonstrated increased Th17 in the brain at day 30. Furthermore, in FTY720 treated septic mice, the number of astrocytes in the cerebral cortex remained reduced at day 30.

- Rapid induction and maintaining a target temperature of 32.0-36.0°C within a narrow range for <24 hours are essential, but those are very hard to perform in postcardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) patients. We investigated the usability of an intravascular temperature management (IVTM) system with neurolept-anesthesia (NLA; droperidol and fentanyl). Single-arm, prospective multicenter trial was carried out in the seven university and the three affiliated hospitals. In the 24 comatose PCAS patients, the target temperature (33.0°C) was rapidly induced and maintained for 24 hours using an IVTM system with NLA. The rewarming speed was 0.1°C/h until 36.5°C and was maintained for 24 hours. The primary end point was the ability to achieve ≤34.0°C for <3 hours after starting cooling, and the secondary end points were the cooling rate, deviation from the target temperature, and adverse events. Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) score at 14 days was also evaluated. Statistical analyses were performed by SPSS software, using the intention-to-treat data sets. The target temperature of ≤34.0°C was reached by 45 minutes (35-73 minutes) and was within 3 hours in all patients. The cooling rate from 36.4°C to 33.0°C was 2.7°C/h (2.4-3.6°C/h). The temperature of 33.1°C (33.1-33.1°C) and 36.7°C (36.6-36.9°C) for 24 hours each was held during the maintenance and the after rewarming phases, respectively. Temperature deviations >0.2°C from 33.0°C in the maintenance phase occurred once each in two patients. The favorable neurological outcomes (CPC1, 2) were relatively good (50%). Five patients experienced serious adverse events; none was device related. We rapidly achieved therapeutic hypothermia within a narrow temperature range without major complications using the IVTM system with NLA in PCAS patients.Sep. 2020, Therapeutic hypothermia and temperature management, 10(3) (3), 179 - 185, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is a predominant cause of death in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is recognized as a syndrome that frequently develops MODS. To test the hypothesis that DIC scores are useful for predicting MODS development and that DIC is associated with MODS, we retrospectively analyzed the data of a prospective, multicenter study on ARDS. METHODS: Patients who met the Berlin definition of ARDS were included. DIC scores as well as the disease severity and the development of MODS on the day of the diagnosis of ARDS (day 0) and day 3 were evaluated. The primary and secondary outcomes were the development of MODS and the hospital mortality. RESULTS: In the 129 eligible patients, the prevalence of DIC was 45.7% (59/129). DIC patients were more seriously ill and exhibited a higher prevalence of MODS on days 0 and 3 than non-DIC patients. The DIC scores on day 0 detected the development of MODS with good area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.714, p<.001). DIC on day 0 was significantly associated with MODS on days 0 and 3 (odds ratio 1.53 and 1.34, respectively). Patients with persistent DIC from days 0 to 3 had higher rates of both MODS on day 3 (p=.035) and hospital mortality (p=.031) than the other patients. CONCLUSIONS: DIC scores were able to predict MODS, and DIC was associated with MODS during the early stage of ARDS. Persistent DIC may also have role in this association.Jul. 2020, Thrombosis research, 191, 15 - 21, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Elderly patients have a blunted host response, which may influence vital signs and clinical outcomes of sepsis. This study was aimed to investigate whether the associations between the vital signs and mortality are different in elderly and non-elderly patients with sepsis. METHODS: This was a retrospective observational study. A Japanese multicenter sepsis cohort (FORECAST, n = 1148) was used for the discovery analyses. Significant discovery results were tested for replication using two validation cohorts of sepsis (JAAMSR, Japan, n = 624; SPH, Canada, n = 1004). Patients were categorized into elderly and non-elderly groups (age ≥ 75 or < 75 years). We tested for association between vital signs (body temperature [BT], heart rate, mean arterial pressure, systolic blood pressure, and respiratory rate) and 90-day in-hospital mortality (primary outcome). RESULTS: In the discovery cohort, non-elderly patients with BT < 36.0 °C had significantly increased 90-day mortality (P = 0.025, adjusted hazard ratio 1.70, 95% CI 1.07-2.71). In the validation cohorts, non-elderly patients with BT < 36.0 °C had significantly increased mortality (JAAMSR, P = 0.0024, adjusted hazard ratio 2.05, 95% CI 1.29-3.26; SPH, P = 0.029, adjusted hazard ratio 1.36, 95% CI 1.03-1.80). These differences were not observed in elderly patients in the three cohorts. Associations between the other four vital signs and mortality were not different in elderly and non-elderly patients. The interaction of age and hypothermia/fever was significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In septic patients, we found mortality in non-elderly sepsis patients was increased with hypothermia and decreased with fever. However, mortality in elderly patients was not associated with BT. These results illuminate the difference in the inflammatory response of the elderly compared to non-elderly sepsis patients.Jun. 2020, Critical care (London, England), 24(1) (1), 387 - 387, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Although the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) has been recommended for identifying patients at higher risk of hospital death, it has only a 60% sensitivity for in-hospital mortality. On the other hand, hypothermia associates with increased mortality and organ failure in patients with sepsis. This study aimed to assess the predictive validity of qSOFA for identifying patients with sepsis at higher risk of multiple organ dysfunction or death and the complementary effect of hypothermia. METHODS: Patients with severe sepsis admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) were retrospectively analyzed. The predictive validities of qSOFA (≥2, positive) and the complementary effect of hypothermia (body temperature ≤36.5°C) for the identification of death or multiorgan dysfunction were evaluated. RESULTS: Of the 624 patients, 230 (36.9%) developed multiorgan dysfunction and 144 (23.1%) died within 28 days; 527 (84.5%) had a positive qSOFA. The 28-day mortality rates of patients with positive and negative qSOFA were 25.4% and 10.3%, respectively (P = .001). The rate of positive qSOFA was higher in patients with multiorgan dysfunction (sensitivity, 0.896; specificity, 0.185) and among patients who died within 28 days (sensitivity, 0.931; specificity, 0.181); 10 (6.9%) of 144 deaths were not identified. In cases of positive qSOFA without hypothermia, positive qSOFA + hypothermia, or negative qSOFA with hypothermia, the predictive value for 28-day mortality improved (sensitivity, 0.979). Among the 144 patients who died, only 3 were not identified. CONCLUSION: A qSOFA score ≥2 may identify >90% of 28-day deaths among patients with severe sepsis; hypothermia may complement the predictive ability of qSOFA.May 2020, Journal of intensive care medicine, 35(5) (5), 502 - 510, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Clinical manifestations of sepsis differ between patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM), and these differences could influence the clinical behaviors of medical staff. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether pre-existing DM was associated with the time to antibiotics or sepsis care protocols.This was a retrospective cohort study.It conducted at 53 intensive care units (ICUs) in Japan.Consecutive adult patients with severe sepsis admitted directly to ICUs form emergency departments from January 2016 to March 2017 were included.The primary outcome was time to antibiotics.Of the 619 eligible patients, 142 had DM and 477 did not have DM. The median times (interquartile ranges) to antibiotics in patients with and without DM were 103 minutes (60-180 minutes) and 86 minutes (45-155 minutes), respectively (P = .05). There were no significant differences in the rates of compliance with sepsis protocols or with patient-centred outcomes such as in-hospital mortality. The mortality rates of patients with and without DM were 23.9% and 21.6%, respectively (P = .55). Comparing patients with and without DM, the gamma generalized linear model-adjusted relative difference indicated that patients with DM had a delay to starting antibiotics of 26.5% (95% confidence intervals (95%CI): 4.6-52.8, P = .02). The gamma generalized linear model-adjusted relative difference with multiple imputation for missing data of sequential organ failure assessment was 19.9% (95%CI: 1.0-42.3, P = .04). The linear regression model-adjusted beta coefficient indicated that patients with DM had a delay to starting antibiotics of 29.2 minutes (95%CI: 6.8-51.7, P = .01). Logistic regression modelling showed that pre-existing DM was not associated with in-hospital mortality (odds ratio, 1.26; 95%CI: 0.72-2.19, P = .42).Pre-existing DM was associated with delayed antibiotic administration among patients with severe sepsis or septic shock; however, patient-centred outcomes and compliance with sepsis care protocols were comparable.Mar. 2020, Medicine, 99(11) (11), e19446, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The clinical implications of bacteremia among septic patients remain unclear, although a vast amount of data have been accumulated on sepsis. We aimed to compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes of severe sepsis patients with and without bacteremia. This secondary analysis of a multicenter, prospective cohort study included 59 intensive care units (ICUs) in Japan between January 2016 and March 2017. The study cohort comprised 1,184 adults (aged ≥ 16 years) who were admitted to an ICU with severe sepsis and diagnosed according to the Sepsis-2 criteria. Of 1,167 patients included in the analysis, 636 (54.5%) had bacteremia. Those with bacteremia had significantly higher rates of septic shock (66.4% vs. 58.9%, p = 0.01) and higher sepsis severity scores, including the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA). No significant difference in in-hospital mortality was seen between patients with and without bacteremia (25.6% vs. 21.0%, p = 0.08). In conclusion, half of severe sepsis patients in ICUs have bacteremia. Although patients with bacteremia had more severe state, between-group differences in patient-centered outcomes, such as in-hospital mortality, have not been fully elucidated.Feb. 2020, Scientific reports, 10(1) (1), 2983 - 2983, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Aging is a grave problem in sepsis, and T cell exhaustion is the main cause of sepsis-induced immunosuppression. Sepsis- and aging-induced T cell exhaustion is related to secondary infection with a poor long-term outcome in the elderly. However, the trend, impact, and mechanism of T cell exhaustion are still unclear. Interleukin (IL)-15 improves survival rate of septic mice via its antiapoptotic effect on T cells; however, it is still unclear how IL-15 reverses prolonged T cell exhaustion in aged septic mice. The purpose of this study was to clarify the trend of sepsis-induced T cell exhaustion and whether IL-15 prevents aging-induced persistent T cell exhaustion in septic mice. Preserved cecal slurry was injected intraperitoneally into young (6-week-old) and aged mice (18-24-month-old) 4 times, to induce clinically relevant repeated sepsis. IL-15 (1.5 μg) or phosphate-buffered saline was injected subcutaneously 3 times, body weight was serially measured, and peripheral blood cells from their cheek were serially collected for 50 days. Sepsis-induced T cell exhaustion was significantly severe in aged mice than in young mice and was accompanied with decreased naive CD4 and CD8 T cells (P < 0.01) and increased expression of program death 1 on T cell (P < 0.01) and regulatory T cell population (P < 0.01). IL-15 significantly improved sepsis-induced T exhaustion, with significantly increased numbers of natural killer cells and macrophages, and significantly enhanced phagocytosis activity in aged septic mice (P < 0.05). It decreased the long-term mortality associated with sepsis survivors by improving T cell exhaustion over an extended duration and also ameliorated aging-induced persistent T cell exhaustion in septic mice.Feb. 2020, Shock (Augusta, Ga.), 53(2) (2), 228 - 235, English, International magazineScientific journal

- Circulating lipopolysaccharide (LPS) concentrations are often elevated in patients with sepsis or various endogenous diseases related to bacterial translocation from the gut. Systemic inflammatory responses induced by endotoxemia induce severe involuntary loss of skeletal muscle, termed muscle wasting, which adversely affects the survival and functional outcomes of these patients. Currently, no drugs are available for the treatment of endotoxemia-induced skeletal muscle wasting. Here, we tested the effects of TAK-242, a Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-specific signalling inhibitor, on myotube atrophy in vitro and muscle wasting in vivo induced by endotoxin. LPS treatment of murine C2C12 myotubes induced an inflammatory response (increased nuclear factor-κB activity and interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-α expression) and activated the ubiquitin-proteasome and autophagy proteolytic pathways (increased atrogin-1/MAFbx, MuRF1, and LC-II expression), resulting in myotube atrophy. In mice, LPS injection increased the same inflammatory and proteolytic pathways in skeletal muscle and induced atrophy, resulting in reduced grip strength. Notably, pretreatment of cells or mice with TAK-242 reduced or reversed all the detrimental effects of LPS in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, our results indicate that pharmacological inhibition of TLR4 signalling may be a novel therapeutic intervention for endotoxemia-induced muscle wasting.Jan. 2020, Scientific reports, 10(1) (1), 694 - 694, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Dysglycemia is frequently observed in patients with sepsis. However, the relationship between dysglycemia and outcome is inconsistent. We evaluate the clinical characteristics, glycemic abnormalities, and the relationship between the initial glucose level and mortality in patients with sepsis. METHODS: This is a retrospective sub-analysis of a multicenter, prospective cohort study. Adult patients with severe sepsis (Sepsis-2) were divided into groups based on blood glucose categories (<70 (hypoglycemia), 70-139, 140-179, and ≥180 mg/dL), according to the admission values. In-hospital mortality and the relationship between pre-existing diabetes and septic shock were evaluated. RESULTS: Of 1158 patients, 69, 543, 233, and 313 patients were categorized as glucose levels <70, 70-139, 140-179, ≥180 mg/dL, respectively. Both the Acute Physiological and Chronic Health Evaluation II and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores on the day of enrollment were higher in the hypoglycemic patients than in those with 70-179 mg/dL. The hepatic SOFA scores were also higher in hypoglycemic patients. In-hospital mortality rates were higher in hypoglycemic patients than in those with 70-139 mg/dL (26/68, 38.2% vs 43/221, 19.5%). A significant relationship between mortality and hypoglycemia was demonstrated only in patients without known diabetes. Mortality in patients with both hypoglycemia and septic shock was 2.5-times higher than that in patients without hypoglycemia and septic shock. CONCLUSIONS: Hypoglycemia may be related to increased severity and high mortality in patients with severe sepsis. These relationships were evident only in patients without known diabetes. Patients with both hypoglycemia and septic shock had an associated increased mortality rate.2020, PloS one, 15(3) (3), e0229919, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Background: Diagnosing sepsis remains difficult because it is not a single disease but a syndrome with various pathogen- and host factor-associated symptoms. Sepsis-3 was established to improve risk stratification among patients with infection based on organ failures, but it has been still controversial compared with previous definitions. Therefore, we aimed to describe characteristics of patients who met sepsis-2 (severe sepsis) and sepsis-3 definitions. Methods: This was a multicenter, prospective cohort study conducted by 22 intensive care units (ICUs) in Japan. Adult patients (≥ 16 years) with newly suspected infection from December 2017 to May 2018 were included. Those without infection at final diagnosis were excluded. Patient's characteristics and outcomes were described according to whether they met each definition or not. Results: In total, 618 patients with suspected infection were admitted to 22 ICUs during the study, of whom 530 (85.8%) met the sepsis-2 definition and 569 (92.1%) met the sepsis-3 definition. The two groups comprised different individuals, and 501 (81.1%) patients met both definitions. In-hospital mortality of study population was 19.1%. In-hospital mortality among patients with sepsis-2 and sepsis-3 patients was comparable (21.7% and 19.8%, respectively). Patients exclusively identified with sepsis-2 or sepsis-3 had a lower mortality (17.2% vs. 4.4%, respectively). No patients died if they did not meet any definitions. Patients who met sepsis-3 shock definition had higher in-hospital mortality than those who met sepsis-2 shock definition. Conclusions: Most patients with infection admitted to ICU meet sepsis-2 and sepsis-3 criteria. However, in-hospital mortality did not occur if patients did not meet any criteria. Better criteria might be developed by better selection and combination of elements in both definitions.

- Background: Predisposing conditions and risk modifiers instead of causes and risk factors have recently been used as alternatives to identify patients at a risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, data regarding risk modifiers among patients with non-pulmonary sepsis is rare. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of the multicenter, prospective, Focused Outcomes Research in Emergency Care in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Sepsis and Trauma (FORECAST) cohort study that was conducted in 59 intensive care units (ICUs) in Japan during January 2016-March 2017. Adult patients with severe sepsis caused by non-pulmonary infection were included, and the primary outcome was having ARDS, defined as meeting the Berlin definition on the first or fourth day of screening. Multivariate logistic regression modeling was used to identify risk modifiers associated with ARDS, and odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals were reported. The following explanatory variables were then assessed: age, sex, admission source, body mass index, smoking status, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, steroid use, statin use, infection site, septic shock, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score. Results: After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 594 patients with non-pulmonary sepsis were enrolled, among whom 85 (14.3%) had ARDS. Septic shock was diagnosed in 80% of patients with ARDS and 66% of those without ARDS (p = 0.01). APACHE II scores were higher in patients with ARDS [26 (22-33)] than in those without ARDS [21 (16-28), p < 0.01]. In the multivariate logistic regression model, the following were independently associated with ARDS: ICU admission source [OR, 1.89 (1.06-3.40) for emergency department compared with hospital wards], smoking status [OR, 0.18 (0.06-0.59) for current smoking compared with never smoked], infection site [OR, 2.39 (1.04-5.40) for soft tissue infection compared with abdominal infection], and APACHE II score [OR, 1.08 (1.05-1.12) for higher compared with lower score]. Conclusions: Soft tissue infection, ICU admission from an emergency department, and a higher APACHE II score appear to be the risk modifiers of ARDS in patients with non-pulmonary sepsis.2020, Journal of intensive care, 8, 7 - 7, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Time to antibiotic administration is a key element in sepsis care; however, it is difficult to implement sepsis care bundles. Additionally, sepsis is different from other emergent conditions including acute coronary syndrome, stroke, or trauma. We aimed to describe the association between time to antibiotic administration and outcomes in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock in Japan. METHODS: This prospective observational study enrolled 1184 adult patients diagnosed with severe sepsis based on the Sepsis-2 criteria and admitted to 59 intensive care units (ICUs) in Japan between January 1, 2016, and March 31, 2017, as the sepsis cohort of the Focused Outcomes Research in Emergency Care in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Sepsis and Trauma (FORECAST) study. We compared the characteristics and in-hospital mortality of patients administered with antibiotics at varying durations after sepsis recognition, i.e., 0-60, 61-120, 121-180, 181-240, 241-360, and 361-1440 min, and estimated the impact of antibiotic timing on risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality using the generalized estimating equation model (GEE) with an exchangeable, within-group correlation matrix, with "hospital" as the grouping variable. RESULTS: Data from 1124 patients in 54 hospitals were used for analyses. Of these, 30.5% and 73.9% received antibiotics within 1 h and 3 h, respectively. Overall, the median time to antibiotic administration was 102 min [interquartile range (IQR), 55-189]. Compared with patients diagnosed in the emergency department [90 min (IQR, 48-164 min)], time to antibiotic administration was shortest in patients diagnosed in ICUs [60 min (39-180 min)] and longest in patients transferred from wards [120 min (62-226)]. Overall crude mortality was 23.4%, where patients in the 0-60 min group had the highest mortality (28.0%) and a risk-adjusted mortality rate [28.7% (95% CI 23.3-34.1%)], whereas those in the 61-120 min group had the lowest mortality (20.2%) and risk-adjusted mortality rates [21.6% (95% CI 16.5-26.6%)]. Differences in mortality were noted only between the 0-60 min and 61-120 min groups. CONCLUSIONS: We could not find any association between earlier antibiotic administration and reduction in in-hospital mortality in patients with severe sepsis.Nov. 2019, Critical care (London, England), 23(1) (1), 360 - 360, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Anticoagulant therapy has seldom been achieved in randomized trials targeting nonspecific overall sepsis patients. Although the key components to identify the appropriate target in sepsis may be disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and high disease severity, the interaction and relation of these two components for the effectiveness of therapy remain unknown. OBJECTIVE: This article identifies the optimal target of anticoagulant therapy in sepsis. METHODS: We used a prospective nationwide cohort targeting consecutive adult severe sepsis patients in 59 intensive care units in Japan to assess associations between anticoagulant therapy and in-hospital mortality according to DIC (International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis [ISTH] overt and Japanese Association for Acute Medicine DIC scores) and disease severity (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II [APACHE II] and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores). Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analysis with nonlinear restricted cubic spline including a two-way interaction term (treatment × each score) and three-way interaction term (treatment × ISTH overt DIC score × APACHE II score) was performed. RESULTS: The final study cohort comprised 1,178 sepsis patients (371 received anticoagulants and 768 did not). The regression model including the two-way interaction term showed significant interaction between intervention and disease severity as indicated by the ISTH overt DIC score and APACHE II score (p = 0.046 and p = 0.101, respectively). Three-way interaction analysis revealed that risk hazard was suppressed in the anticoagulant group compared with the control group in the most severe subset of both scores. CONCLUSION: Anticoagulant therapy was associated with better outcome according to the deterioration of both DIC and disease severity, suggesting that anticoagulant therapy should be restricted to patients having DIC and high disease severity simultaneously.Nov. 2019, Thrombosis and haemostasis, 119(11) (11), 1740 - 1751, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

Commencement of a new academic cycle is presumed to be associated with poor patient outcomes. However, supportive evidence is limited for trauma patients treated in under-resourced hospitals, especially those who require specialized interventions and with little physiological reserve. We examined whether a new academic cycle affects the survival outcomes of injured patients in a typical Japanese teaching hospital.
METHODS:
This historical cohort study was conducted at a Japanese community emergency department (ED). All injured patients brought to the ED from April 2002 to March 2018 were included in the analysis. The primary exposure was presentation to the ED during the first quartile of the academic cycle (April-June). The primary outcome measure was the hospital mortality rate.
RESULTS:
Of the 20,945 eligible patients, 5282 (25.2%) were admitted during the first quartile. In the univariable analysis, the hospital mortality rate was similar between patients admitted during the first quartile of the academic year and those admitted during the remaining quartiles (4.1% vs. 4.4%, respectively; odds ratio [OR], 0.931; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.796-1.088). After adjusting for the potential confounding factors of the injury severity score, age, sex, Glasgow coma scale score, systolic blood pressure, trauma etiology (blunt or penetrating), and admission phase (2002-2005, 2006-2009, 2010-2013, and 2014-2018), no statistically significant association was present between first-quartile admission and trauma death (adjusted OR 0.980; 95% CI 0.748-1.284). Likewise, when patients were subgrouped according to age of > 55 years, injury severity score of > 15, Glasgow coma scale score of < 9, systolic blood pressure of < 90 mmHg, requirement for doctor car system dispatches, emergency operation, emergency endotracheal intubation, and weekend and night presentation, no significant associations were present between first-quartile admission and hospital mortality in both the univariable and multivariable analysis.
CONCLUSIONS:
At a community hospital in Japan, admission at the beginning of the academic year was not associated with an increased risk of hospital mortality among trauma patients, even those requiring specialized interventions and with little physiological reserve. Our results support the uniformity of trauma care provision throughout the academic cycle in a typical Japanese trauma system.[Refereed]Scientific journal - Jul. 2019, INTERNATIONAL SURGERY, 104(7-8) (7-8), 358 - 363, EnglishScientific journal

- OBJECTIVES: To investigate the impact of body temperature on disease severity, implementation of sepsis bundles, and outcomes in severe sepsis patients. DESIGN: Retrospective sub-analysis. SETTING: Fifty-nine ICUs in Japan, from January 2016 to March 2017. PATIENTS: Adult patients with severe sepsis based on Sepsis-2 were enrolled and divided into three categories (body temperature < 36°C, 36-38°C, > 38°C), using the core body temperature at ICU admission. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Compliance with the bundles proposed in the Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines 2012, in-hospital mortality, disposition after discharge, and the number of ICU and ventilator-free days were evaluated. Of 1,143 enrolled patients, 127, 565, and 451 were categorized as having body temperature less than 36°C, 36-38°C, and greater than 38°C, respectively. Hypothermia-body temperature less than 36°C-was observed in 11.1% of patients. Patients with hypothermia were significantly older than those with a body temperature of 36-38°C or greater than 38°C and had a lower body mass index and higher prevalence of septic shock than those with body temperature greater than 38°C. Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores on the day of enrollment were also significantly higher in hypothermia patients. Implementation rates of the entire 3-hour bundle and administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics significantly differed across categories; implementation rates were significantly lower in patients with body temperature less than 36°C than in those with body temperature greater than 38°C. Implementation rate of the entire 3-hour resuscitation bundle + vasopressor use + remeasured lactate significantly differed across categories, as did the in-hospital and 28-day mortality. The odds ratio for in-hospital mortality relative to the reference range of body temperature greater than 38°C was 1.760 (95% CI, 1.134-2.732) in the group with hypothermia. The proportions of ICU-free and ventilator-free days also significantly differed between categories and were significantly smaller in patients with hypothermia. CONCLUSIONS: Hypothermia was associated with a significantly higher disease severity, mortality risk, and lower implementation of sepsis bundles.May 2019, Critical care medicine, 47(5) (5), 691 - 699, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a leading cause of death and long-term disability in developed countries. A comprehensive report on the incidence, clinical characteristics, and evolving management of sepsis is important. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients with severe sepsis in Japan. METHODS: This is a cohort study of the Focused Outcomes Research in Emergency Care in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Sepsis, and Trauma (FORECAST) study, which was a multicenter, prospective cohort study conducted at 59 intensive care units (ICUs) from January 2016 to March 2017. We included adult patients with severe sepsis based on the sepsis-2 criteria. RESULTS: In total, 1184 patients (median age 73 years, interquartile range (IQR) 64-81) with severe sepsis were admitted to the ICU during the study period. The most common comorbidity was diabetes mellitus (23%). Moreover, approximately 63% of patients had septic shock. The median Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was 9 (IQR 6-11). The most common site of infection was the lung (31%). Approximately 54% of the participants had positive blood cultures. The compliance rates for the entire 3-h bundle, measurement of central venous pressure, and assessment of central venous oxygen saturation were 64%, 26%, and 7%, respectively. A multilevel logistic regression model showed that closed ICUs and non-university hospitals were more compliant with the entire 3-h bundle. The in-hospital mortality rate of patients with severe sepsis was 23% (21-26%). Older age, multiple comorbidities, suspected site of infection, and increasing SOFA scores correlated with in-hospital mortality, based on the generalized estimating equation model. The length of hospital stay was 24 (12-46) days. Approximately 37% of the patients were discharged home after recovery. CONCLUSION: Our prospective study showed that sepsis management in Japan was characterized by a high compliance rate for the 3-h bundle and low compliance rate for central venous catheter measurements. The in-hospital mortality rate in Japan was comparable to that of other developed countries. Only one third of the patients were discharged home, considering the aging population with multiple comorbidities in the ICUs in Japan. TRIAL REGISTRATION: UMIN-CTR, UMIN000019742 .

- Complication of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a determinant of the prognosis for patients with sepsis. The purpose of this study was to find DIC-related peptides in blood for prediction and early diagnosis of DIC in patients with sepsis. The participants were 20 patients with sepsis (age: 68.9 ± 11.4 years) and they were divided into 2 groups with (n = 8) and without (n = 12) a complication of DIC. Peptides in the serum of the patients were inclusively analyzed by a new method for peptidome analysis using a target plate, BLOTCHIP. By differential analysis of peptides in the blood from patients in the groups with and without DIC, we selected 13 mass spectrometry (MS) peaks as candidate marker peptides for prediction of DIC. By subsequent MS/MS structural analysis, 8 peptides were successfully identified as marker peptides for DIC in patients with sepsis. The peptides were fragments of serum amyloid A-2 protein, α2-HS-glycoprotein, fibrinogen α chain, fibrinogen β chain, serum albumin, collagen α1 (I) chain, collagen α1 (III) chain, and coagulation factor XIII A chain. In receiver-operating characteristic analysis for the relationships between the marker peptides and DIC, the area under the curve for each of these peptides was 0.594 to 0.760. We identified 8 blood marker peptides for prediction of DIC complication in patients with sepsis. Further studies by direct measurements of the serum peptide levels in larger numbers of patients with sepsis-induced DIC are needed to confirm the findings of this study.Oct. 2018, Clin Appl Thromb Hemost, 24(9_suppl) (9_suppl), 223S-229S, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2016 (J-SSCG 2016), a Japanese-specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in February 2017 and published in the Journal of JSICM, [2017; Volume 24 (supplement 2)] 10.3918/jsicm.24S0001 and Journal of Japanese Association for Acute Medicine [2017; Volume 28, (supplement 1)] http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jja2.2017.28.issue-S1/issuetoc.This abridged English edition of the J-SSCG 2016 was produced with permission from the Japanese Association of Acute Medicine and the Japanese Society for Intensive Care Medicine. METHODS: Members of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine were selected and organized into 19 committee members and 52 working group members. The guidelines were prepared in accordance with the Medical Information Network Distribution Service (Minds) creation procedures. The Academic Guidelines Promotion Team was organized to oversee and provide academic support to the respective activities allocated to each Guideline Creation Team. To improve quality assurance and workflow transparency, a mutual peer review system was established, and discussions within each team were open to the public. Public comments were collected once after the initial formulation of a clinical question (CQ) and twice during the review of the final draft. Recommendations were determined to have been adopted after obtaining support from a two-thirds (> 66.6%) majority vote of each of the 19 committee members. RESULTS: A total of 87 CQs were selected among 19 clinical areas, including pediatric topics and several other important areas not covered in the first edition of the Japanese guidelines (J-SSCG 2012). The approval rate obtained through committee voting, in addition to ratings of the strengths of the recommendation, and its supporting evidence were also added to each recommendation statement. We conducted meta-analyses for 29 CQs. Thirty-seven CQs contained recommendations in the form of an expert consensus due to insufficient evidence. No recommendations were provided for five CQs. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the evidence gathered, we were able to formulate Japanese-specific clinical practice guidelines that are tailored to the Japanese context in a highly transparent manner. These guidelines can easily be used not only by specialists, but also by non-specialists, general clinicians, nurses, pharmacists, clinical engineers, and other healthcare professionals.2018, Journal of intensive care, 6, 7 - 7, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

Although chest compression is an effective emergency maneuver for cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA), it carries a risk of complications such as rib fracture, sternal fracture, and organ injury. Two cases of CPA due to pulmonary thromboembolism were admitted to our department. Spontaneous circulation was restored with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) including chest compression. After use of an anticoagulant drug and indication of veno-arterial extra corporeal membrane oxygenation, contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated infra-diaphragmatic liver injury in both cases. One patient could survive with damage control surgery (DCS), while the other patient could not survive without surgical management. As a conclusion, patients with hemorrhagic diathesis are at critical risk for complications from chest compression. Aggressive treatments, including DCS, may be effective even for patients treated with anticoagulant drugs.

- Aim: Gastrointestinal dysmotility frequently occurs during sepsis and multiple organ failure, remaining a major cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Previous studies have shown that hydrogen, a new therapeutic gas, can improve various organ damage associated with sepsis. In this study, we investigated the protective efficacies of inhaled hydrogen against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ileus. Methods: Sepsis was induced in rats and mice by a single i.p. injection of LPS at 15 mg/kg for mice and 5 mg/kg for rats. Four groups of rats and mice including sham/air, sham/hydrogen, LPS/air, and LPS/hydrogen were analyzed. Hydrogen (1.3%) was inhaled for 25 h beginning at 1 h prior to LPS treatment. Gastrointestinal transit was quantified and cytokine levels, as well as neutrophil extravasation, in the intestinal muscularis propria were determined. Results: Lipopolysaccharide challenge remarkably delayed gastrointestinal transit of non-absorbable dextran, associated with increased leukocyte recruitment and upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA expressions in the muscularis propria. Hydrogen significantly prevented LPS-induced bowel dysmotility and reduced leukocyte extravasation, as well as inhibition of inflammatory cytokine expression. In vitro analysis of cytokine levels after LPS treatment of cultured macrophages showed an increase of interleukin-10 by hydrogen regardless of the presence of nitric oxide. Conclusions: This study showed the protective effects of hydrogen inhalation on LPS-induced septic ileus through inhibition of inflammation in the muscularis propria. These inhibitory effects on the pro-inflammatory response may be partially derived from anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 induction.Jun. 2016, Acute Med Surg, 4(1) (1), 38 - 45, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Traumatic abdominal hernia is rare and difficult to diagnose from physical symptoms. PATIENT: A 60-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with complaints of vomiting after falling off a bicycle and hitting her abdomen against one of the handlebars 2 days earlier. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated abdominal wall hernia from blunt trauma to the left upper abdomen. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, and the herniated bowel loop was not found to be perforated or gangrenous. Primary hernia repair without resection of the bowel loop was performed. RESULTS: Postoperative course was uneventful. CONCLUSION: Surgical exploration with primary repair of the defect is the definitive treatment in the present case, as the hernia contained an incarcerated loop of small bowel. The use of abdominal CT to confirm the diagnosis before operative repair of the hernia appears to be a safe and efficacious adjunct to physical examination.Dec. 2015, Surgical case reports, 1(1) (1), 15 - 15, English, International magazineScientific journal

- INTRODUCTION: Hemorrhagic shock followed by fluid resuscitation (HS/R) triggers an inflammatory response and causes pulmonary inflammation that can lead to acute lung injury (ALI). Hydrogen, a therapeutic gas, has potent cytoprotective, antiinflammatory, and antioxidant effects. This study examined the effects of inhaled hydrogen on ALI caused by HS/R. METHODS: Rats were subjected to hemorrhagic shock by withdrawing blood to lower blood pressure followed by resuscitation with shed blood and saline to restore blood pressure. After HS/R, the rats were maintained in a control gas of similar composition to room air or exposed to 1.3% hydrogen. RESULTS: HS/R induced ALI, as demonstrated by significantly impaired gas exchange, congestion, edema, cellular infiltration, and hemorrhage in the lungs. Hydrogen inhalation mitigated lung injury after HS/R, as indicated by significantly improved gas exchange and reduced cellular infiltration and hemorrhage. Hydrogen inhalation did not affect hemodynamic status during HS/R. Exposure to 1.3% hydrogen significantly attenuated the upregulation of the messenger RNAs for several proinflammatory mediators induced by HS/R. Lipid peroxidation was reduced significantly in the presence of hydrogen, indicating antioxidant effects. CONCLUSION: Hydrogen, administered through inhalation, may exert potent therapeutic effects against ALI induced by HS/R and attenuate the activation of inflammatory cascades.Aug. 2015, Surgery, 158(2) (2), 399 - 407, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Case: A 73-year-old woman was transferred to our department due to severe abdominal pain with peritonitis. Her laboratory data showed that her white blood cell count was elevated to more than 50,000/mm3. Antibodies to HTLV-I were positive and we made the diagnosis of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). Outcome: Emergency laparotomy was performed and revealed two separate small perforations of the ileum, requiring bowel resection. Immunohistochemistry for cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigen revealed positive staining in the intestinal stromal cells. Despite surgery and antiviral therapy with ganciclovir, she died after 28 days. Conclusion: Adult T-cell leukemia patients may present acute abdominal pain due to intestinal perforation caused by CMV infection. We should be aware of CMV infection as one of the pathogens causing acute abdominal crises such as massive hemorrhage or visceral perforation.Aug. 2015, Acute Med Surg, 3(2) (2), 178 - 181, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND: The pathophysiologic features of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are attributed to neutrophil accumulation and over-activation. Low blood immunoglobulin G concentrations in septic shock patients are associated with higher risk of developing ARDS. This study showed the effects of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) on neutrophil apoptosis and accumulation in the lung during murine endotoxemia. METHODS: Male C57BL/6J mice were injected with saline or 7 mg/kg of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and 3 h later also were injected with saline, IVIg 300 mg/kg, or IVIg 1000 mg/kg intraperitoneally. At 12 h after LPS injection, mice were sacrificed and peripheral blood and lungs were collected. The lung messenger ribonucleic acid expression (tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α], inducible nitric oxide synthase [iNOS], and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 [ICAM-1]) was determined using quantitative realtime reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Lungs were immersed in 4% paraformaldehyde and then embedded in paraffin. Tissue slices were prepared and stained with naphthol AS-D chloroacetate esterase to detect neutrophils. The numbers of neutrophils (characterized by the segment number of their nuclei) were counted. Peripheral neutrophil apoptosis was detected by annexin V using flow cytometry and lung neutrophil apoptosis was detected by cleaved caspase-3 using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The survival rates of the saline group, LPS group, and IVIg group were all 100%. Apoptosis of peripheral blood neutrophils was inhibited by LPS. Neutrophil accumulation in the lung was decreased by both IVIg 300 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg. Segmented neutrophils were reduced by IVIg during endotoxemia. However, IVIg 300 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg had no influence on the lung messenger ribonucleic acid expression of TNF-α, iNOS, or ICAM-1. Cleaved-caspase-3-positive neutrophils were increased in the IVIg 300 mg/kg group during endotoxemia. The 1000 mg/kg IVIG dose reduced the number of segmented neutrophils, but did not induce cleaved-caspase 3-positive neutrophils. CONCLUSION: A therapeutic IVIg dose can attenuate neutrophil accumulation and regulate neutrophil apoptosis in the lung during endotoxemia. It is possible that the pathways by which IVIG induces neutrophil apoptosis may differ depending on the IVIg concentration.Feb. 2014, Surgical infections, 15(1) (1), 36 - 42, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- The increasing demand for organ allografts to treat end-stage organ failure has driven changes in traditional donor criteria. Patients who have succumbed to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, a common cause of toxicological mortality, are usually rejected as organ donors. To fulfill the increasing demand, selection criteria must be expanded to include CO-poisoned donors. However, the use of allografts exposed to high CO concentrations is still under debate. Basic research and literature review data suggest that patients with brain death caused by CO poisoning should be considered appropriate organ donors. Accepting organs from CO-poisoned victims could increase the number of potential donors and lower the death rate of patients on the waiting lists. This review and reported cases may increase awareness among emergency department physicians, as well as transplant teams, that patients dying of CO exposure may be acceptable organ donors.2014, Medical gas research, 4, 13 - 13, English, International magazineScientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Overactivated neutrophils are causes of acute lung injury, which is a major clinical problem with significant morbidity and mortality in sepsis. Serum interleukin (IL)-18 levels correspond to severity of systemic inflammation. AIM: To elucidate the roles of endogenous IL-18 in lung injury during endotoxin-induced systemic inflammation. METHODS: Wild-type (WT) and IL-18 gene knockout (KO) mice were injected with lipopolysaccharide (40 mg/kg) intraperitoneally and killed. Lungs were collected at 0 and 12 h to assess mRNA for intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, inducible nitric oxide synthase, myeloperoxidase, immunohistochemistry (cleaved caspase-3, 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine), and wet/dry ratio. Blood was collected at 0, 1, 12, 18, and 24 h to assess plasma cytokine levels. RESULTS: The survival rates at 24 h were approximately 43% and 76% in the WT and KO mice, respectively. Plasma IL-18 levels were induced time-dependently only in the WT mice. Plasma interferon-γ levels were significantly higher in the WT than in the KO mice at 12 h, but IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α levels did not differ between the WT and KO mice. At 12 h, the WT mice showed higher myeloperoxidase activity (P < 0.05), ICAM-1, and wet/dry ratios than KO mice. Cleaved caspase-3 positive neutrophils, which migrated in the lung interstitium, were lower in WT mice than in KO mice. CONCLUSIONS: Endogenous IL-18 induced neutrophil accumulation, accompanied by induction of ICAM-1 expression, inhibition of neutrophil apoptosis, and increased inducible nitric oxide synthase-induced oxidative tissue injury in the lung, leading to lung edema and poor outcome during endotoxemia.Jan. 2014, Acute medicine & surgery, 1(1) (1), 23 - 30, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Midgut malrotation is an anomaly of intestinal rotation that occurs during fetal development and usually presents in the neonatal period. We present a rare case of malrotation in a 14-year-old patient who presented with cramping, generalized right abdominal pain, and vomiting for a duration of one day. A computed tomography abdominal scan and upper gastrointestinal contrast studies showed malrotation of the small bowel without volvulus. Laparoscopy revealed typical Ladd's bands and a distended flabby third and fourth duodenal portion extrinsically obstructing the misplaced duodeno-jejunal junction. The Ladd procedure, including widening of the mesenteric base and appendectomy, was performed. Symptoms completely resolved in a half-year follow up period. Patients with midgut malrotation may present with vague abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, or intestinal ischemia. The laparoscopic Ladd procedure is feasible and safe, and it appears to be as effective as the standard open Ladd procedure in the diagnosis and treatment of teenage or adult patients with intestinal malrotation.May 2013, World journal of emergency surgery : WJES, 8(1) (1), 19 - 19, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- INTRODUCTION: Glucose control to prevent both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia is important in an intensive care unit. Arterial blood gas analyzers and glucose meters are commonly used to measure blood-glucose concentration in an intensive care unit; however, their accuracies are still unclear. METHODS: We performed a systematic literature search (January 1, 2001, to August 31, 2012) to find clinical studies comparing blood-glucose values measured with glucose meters and/or arterial blood gas analyzers with those simultaneously measured with a central laboratory machine in critically ill adult patients. RESULTS: We reviewed 879 articles and found 21 studies in which the accuracy of blood-glucose monitoring by arterial blood gas analyzers and/or glucometers by using central laboratory methods as references was assessed in critically ill adult patients. Of those 21 studies, 11 studies in which International Organization for Standardization criteria, error-grid method, or percentage of values within 20% of the error of a reference were used were selected for evaluation. The accuracy of blood-glucose measurements by arterial blood gas analyzers and glucose meters by using arterial blood was significantly higher than that of measurements with glucose meters by using capillary blood (odds ratios for error: 0.04, P<0.001; and 0.36, P<0.001). The accuracy of blood-glucose measurements with arterial blood gas analyzers tended to be higher than that of measurements with glucose meters by using arterial blood (P=0.20). In the hypoglycemic range (defined as <81 mg/dl), the incidence of errors using these devices was higher than that in the nonhypoglycemic range (odds ratios for error: arterial blood gas analyzers, 1.86, P=0.15; glucose meters with capillary blood, 1.84, P=0.03; glucose meters with arterial blood, 2.33, P=0.02). Unstable hemodynamics (edema and use of a vasopressor) and use of insulin were associated with increased error of blood glucose monitoring with glucose meters. CONCLUSIONS: Our literature review showed that the accuracy of blood-glucose measurements with arterial blood gas analyzers was significantly higher than that of measurements with glucose meters by using capillary blood and tended to be higher than that of measurements with glucose meters by using arterial blood. These results should be interpreted with caution because of the large variation of accuracy among devices. Because blood-glucose monitoring was less accurate within or near the hypoglycemic range, especially in patients with unstable hemodynamics or receiving insulin infusion, we should be aware that current blood glucose-monitoring technology has not reached a high enough degree of accuracy and reliability to lead to appropriate glucose control in critically ill patients.Mar. 2013, Critical care (London, England), 17(2) (2), R48, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Feasibility of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography for preoperative evaluation of biliary tract cancer.(18)F-Labeled fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (FDG-PET), a rapidly evolving functional imaging modality, has recently been shown to be useful in the diagnosis and staging of various malignant tumors due to focal uptake of FDG-labeled glucose in malignant cell populations. However, the role of FDG-PET in the diagnosis and staging of biliary tract cancer is still controversial and has not yet been fully evaluated. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical importance of FDG-PET in the preoperative evaluation of biliary tract cancer and retrospectively clarify the characteristics of false-negative and false-positive cases. We retrospectively analyzed data for 73 consecutive patients diagnosed with cancer of the biliary tract and were admitted to the Department of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery at Kobe University Hospital for treatment, from January 2007 to August 2009. Since the sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) of FDG-PET in the diagnosis of bile duct carcinoma are usually relatively high, FDG-PET is considered to be a useful tool in diagnosing biliary tract cancer. FDG-PET also seems to be useful in clinical decision-making, regarding treatment strategy, including surgery. Our results showed that FDG-PET is highly sensitive in delineating the primary focus of biliary cancer and is a useful tool in preoperative examination. A disadvantage of FDG-PET is its inability to indicate small metastases and false-positive findings of inflamed gallbladder and bile duct lesions.Nov. 2012, Anticancer research, 32(11) (11), 5105 - 5110, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Both Intensive Insulin Therapy (IIT) and the low-dose hydrocortisone administration for septic shock are the hot stocks in the Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines 2004. However, the questions have occurred along with the accumulation of the recent evidences, and the recommendation levels for these treatments had been withdrawn. In contrast, although not included in the international guidelines, the treatments such as the direct-hemoperfusion with polymyxin B-immobilized column (PMX-DHP), anticoagulant therapy for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and sivelestat sodium for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which are widely applied in Japan, attracts attention. Indeed, there are some significant differences in the therapeutic strategies for severe sepsis between Japan and other advanced countries. With regard to the PMX-DHP, although it has been ignored in the other countries, the recent randomized controlled study (RCT) performed in Italy proved its efficacy. Antithrombin was recommended not to administrate in DIC patients in the European guideline, while its administration is recommended in Japanese one. The efficacy of sivelestat sodium was proven again in the post-marketing surveillance performed in Japan, after the contrastive results from USA. Under these confusing situations, we clinicians must realize that the evidences for severe sepsis are quite unstable. There should not be any doubt for the importance of the evidence based medicine, however, we should recognize the differences of the genetics, health care systems and the historic backgrounds as well, and when we apply the certain treatment to the patients, we must consider not only the clinical evidences but also follow the individual experiences and the scientific knowledge. Actually, we think that the tailor-made medicine is just required for treatment of severe sepsis, and the uniform guideline treatment is not suitable.Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, Dec. 2009, Nihon Kyukyu Igakukai Zasshi, 20(12) (12), 915 - 922, Japanese

- The effects of short-chain fatty acids (butyrate, propionate, and acetate) and trichostatin A (TSA), a typical histone deacetylase inhibitor, on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha secretion and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells induced with lipopolysaccharide were evaluated in relation to prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) secretion. Treatment of cells with butyrate; tributyrin, a prodrug of butyrate; propionate; acetate; and TSA down-regulated TNF-alpha secretion but all up-regulated PGE(2) secretion. Butyrate, propionate, and TSA inhibited NF-kappaB activation. The effects of the cyclooxygenase-nonspecific inhibitor, indomethacin; the cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor, N-[2-(cyclohexyloxy)-4-nitro-phenyl] methanesulfonamide; and the general lipoxygenase inhibitor, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, varied in cells treated with each short-chain fatty acids. N-[2-(cyclohexyloxy)-4-nitro-phenyl] methanesulfonamide inhibited the effect of propionate on TNF-alpha secretion, and nordihydroguaiaretic acid inhibited that of acetate. The results showed that butyrate, propionate, and TSA inhibited TNF-alpha production via PGE(2) secretion and down-regulated NF-kappaB activation by lipopolysaccharide. These data suggest that the mechanism of butyrate and propionate action is through histone deacetylation and acetate through lipoxygenase activation in the regulation of proinflammatory responses in cells.May 2008, Nutrition research (New York, N.Y.), 28(5) (5), 321 - 8, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Background: Several advanced and developing countries are now entering a superaged society, in which the percentage of elderly people exceeds 20% of the total population. In such an aging society, the number of age-related diseases such as malignant tumors, diabetes, and severe infections including sepsis is increasing, and patients with such disorders often find themselves in the ICU. Main body: Age-related diseases are closely related to age-induced immune dysfunction, by which reductions in the efficiency and specificity of the immune system are collectively termed "immunosenescence." The most noticeable is a decline in the antigen-specific acquired immune response. The exhaustion of T cells in elderly sepsis is related to an increase in nosocomial infections after septicemia, and even death over subacute periods. Another characteristic is that senescent cells that accumulate in body tissues over time cause chronic inflammation through the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, termed senescence-associated secretory phenotype. Chronic inflammation associated with aging has been called "inflammaging," and similar age-related diseases are becoming an urgent social problem. Conclusion: In neuro ICUs, several neuro-related diseases including stroke and sepsis-associated encephalopathy are related to immunosenescence and neuroinflammation in the elderly. Several advanced countries with superaged societies face the new challenge of improving the long-term prognosis of neurocritical patients.Oct. 2018, J Intensive Care, 6, 65 - 65, English, International magazine[Refereed]Introduction scientific journal

- Background and Purpose: The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2016 (J-SSCG 2016), a Japanese-specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in February 2017 in Japanese. An English-language version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese-language version. Methods: Members of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine were selected and organized into 19 committee members and 52 working group members. The guidelines were prepared in accordance with the Medical Information Network Distribution Service (Minds) creation procedures. The Academic Guidelines Promotion Team was organized to oversee and provide academic support to the respective activities allocated to each Guideline Creation Team. To improve quality assurance and workflow transparency, a mutual peer review system was established, and discussions within each team were open to the public. Public comments were collected once after the initial formulation of a clinical question (CQ), and twice during the review of the final draft. Recommendations were determined to have been adopted after obtaining support from a two-thirds (>66.6%) majority vote of each of the 19 committee members. Results: A total of 87 CQs were selected among 19 clinical areas, including pediatric topics and several other important areas not covered in the first edition of the Japanese guidelines (J-SSCG 2012). The approval rate obtained through committee voting, in addition to ratings of the strengths of the recommendation and its supporting evidence were also added to each recommendation statement. We conducted meta-analyses for 29 CQs. Thirty seven CQs contained recommendations in the form of an expert consensus due to insufficient evidence. No recommendations were provided for 5 CQs. Conclusions: Based on the evidence gathered, we were able to formulate Japanese-specific clinical practice guidelines that are tailored to the Japanese context in a highly transparent manner. These guidelines can easily be used not only by specialists, but also by non-specialists, general clinicians, nurses, pharmacists, clinical engineers, and other healthcare professionals.Jan. 2018, Acute medicine & surgery, 5(1) (1), 3 - 89, English, International magazine[Refereed]Introduction scientific journal

On day 8 after sepsis induction with the mouse, significant expression of inflammatory cytokines was observed in the brain, but IL-18 was not changed. Microglia, astrocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, and γδ T cells, which are predicted to induce brain inflammation, increased immediately after the induction of sepsis. Significant cognitive, mental, and physical impairments were observed in each behavioral test of septic mice performed one week after sepsis induction. 6, 12, and 18 months after sepsis induction, significant cognitive and physical impairments were observed in the septic mice compared with control mice.

Twenty patients with sepsis were divided into two groups of patients with and those without a complication of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). By differential analysis of peptides in blood for these groups, we selected thirteen MS peaks as candidate marker peptides for prediction of DIC. By further ROC analysis, eleven sets, each consisting of four peak peptides, were found to show AUC of 1. Among the thirteen peptides, four frequently detected peptides were subjected to precision mass measurement and subsequent MS/MS analysis. Consequently, two peptides of m/z = 2743 and m/z = 2886 were identified to be α2-HS-glycoprotein and fibrinogen β chain, respectively, both of which consist of 27 amino acids. These peptides are expected to be biomarkers for prediction of DIC in patients with sepsis.

Only sex, APACHE II score, and plasma IL-18 level were identified as independent predictors of mortality by multivariate analysis. The plasma IL-18 levels were correlated with APACHE II score, and the patients who did not survive showed significantly higher levels of plasma IL-18 as compared with survivors. Patients who did not survive and had the -607 CA genotype (CA/GC or CA/GG) showed significantly higher plasma IL-18 levels than survivors with the same genotype. However, there were no relationship between IL-18 promoter genotypes and pathological conditions (non-sepsis, sepsis, septic shock). And there were also no relationship between IL-18 promoter genotypes and the neutrophil ability or gender difference. Plasma IL-18 levels may be predictive of outcome in patients with sepsis.

Hydrogen, atherapeutic gas, has potent cytoprotective, antiinflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Rats were subjected to hemorrhagic shock by withdrawing blood to lower blood pressure followed by resuscitation with shed blood and saline to restore blood pressure. After HS/R, the rats were maintained in a control gas of similar composition to room air or exposed to 1.3% hydrogen. HS/R induced ALI, as demonstrated by significantly impaired gas exchange, congestion, edema, cellular infiltration, and hemorrhage in the lungs. Exposure to 1.3% hydrogen significantly attenuated the upregulation of neutrophil accumulation, alveolar cell wall thickness, oxidative stress, the mRNAs for several proinflammatory mediators induced by HS/R. Hydrogen, administered through inhalation, may exert potent therapeutic effects against ALI induced by HS/R and attenuate the activation of inflammatory cascades.
- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Exploratory Research, Hyogo Medical University, 2011 - 2012The effect of IL-18 and gender difference on inflammation-related insulin resistance.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of endogenous IL-18 and its gender difference on inflammation-related insulin resistance. The endogenous IL-18 might inhibit hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia during acute inflammation. The plasma insulin concentration was higher in male than in female mice, however, the relation of IL-18 to this gender differencve has not been elucidated clearly yet. Further studies are needed to investigate the role ofendogenous IL-18 on the gender difference in inflammation-related insulin resistance.

- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Hyogo College of Medicine, 2004 - 2005The role of Il-18 In Inducing or preventing apoptosis in neutrophils during acute endotoxemia1.The role of TNR receptors in bone marrow cell apoptosis during endotoxin-induced systemic inflammatory state. Apoptosis of myeloid cells in the bone marrow during endotoxemia is minimized as these cells undergo differentiation, which in turn, may be due to the attenuation of the pro-apoptotic effect of TNFR-p55 shown herein to occur with myeloid differentiation. In contrast, TNFR-p75 appears to play a minimal role in apoptosis induction in Grl(-) myeloid cells during endotoxemia. One explanation for a decrease in bone marrow cell numbers during endotoxemia may be via induction of apoptosis in immature myeloid cells. 2.The role of IL-18 in bone marrow cell apoptosis during endotoxin-induced systemic inflammatory state. It has been demonstrated that IL-18 plays a anti-apoptotic role in mature and immature myeloid cells in the bone marrow during endotoxin-induced systemic inflammatory state. 3.The role of IL-18 in both nitric oxide production and pancreatic damage during acute pancreatitis. IL-18 appears to protect the pancreas during early caerulein-induced AP in mice, probably through induction of NO release from an iNOS source. IL-18 may be a target for new AP therapeutics. 4.Establishment of the technique of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in rats. We have developed the techniques to insert and fix the silicon tube into the jugular vein, transfuse TPN solution for three days safely without restriction in Wister rats. 5.Apoptosis induction in the bone marrow cells during endotoxin-induced systemic inflammatory state in rats. We have confirmed that apoptosis is induced in both immature and mature bone marrow cells after intra-peritoneal injection of endotoxin like apoptosis induction in the bone marrow cells in mouse acute endotoxemia model. 6.The influence of pretreatment with TPN with n-6 and n-3 poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on apoptosis in bone marrow cells and peripheral neutrophils during endotoxin-induced systemic inflammatory state. The HPLC analysis revealed that three days TPN could change the cell wall components of spleen cells and red blood cells. Furthermore, we have found that pretreatment with TPN with n-3 PUFAs appears to increase apoptotic cell rate in the immature and mature bone marrow cells and peripheral neutrophils compared to TPN with n-6 PUFAs although the mechanisms have not been elucidated. 7.The role of IL-18 in human neutrophils apotosis. IL-18, like LPS, inhibits PMN apoptosis by activating PI3-kinase and ERK pathways. However, PI3-kinase plays more important role(s) in IL-18-induced inhibition of apoptosis than in LPS-induced apoptosis inhibition. 8.The influence of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Butyrate activates caspase cascade and induces apoptosis via signal transduction(s) other than GPR and MAPKs. It is most likely that butyrate modulate apoptosis via HDAC inhibition.
