Fujita medical journal 9(2) 95-100 2023年5月OBJECTIVES: Damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) levels are associated with sepsis severity and prognosis. Histone and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) levels are also potential indicators of prognosis. We investigated the relationship between serum histone H3 and HMGB1 levels and the illness severity score and prognosis in postoperative patients. METHODS: Postoperative serum histone H3 and HMGB1 levels in 39 intensive care unit (ICU) patients treated at our institution were measured. The correlation between peak histone H3 and HMGB1 levels in each patient and clinical data (age, sex, surgical time, length of ICU stay, and survival after ICU discharge), which also included the patients' illness severity score, was examined. RESULTS: Histone H3 but not HMGB1 levels were positively correlated with surgical time, the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine acute phase disseminated intravascular coagulation diagnosis score, and the length of ICU stay. Both histone H3 and HMGB1 levels were negatively correlated with age. However, survival post-ICU discharge was not correlated with histone H3 or HMGB1 levels. CONCLUSIONS: Histone H3 levels are correlated with severity scores and the length of ICU stay. Serum histone H3 and HMGB1 levels are elevated postoperatively. These DAMPs, however, are not prognostic indicators in postoperative ICU patients.

Membranes 12(8) 2022年8月22日Blood purification is performed to control cytokines in critically ill patients. The relationship between the clearance (CL) and the membrane area during adsorption is not clear. We hypothesized that the CL increases with the hydrophobic area when hydrophobic binding contributes to cytokine adsorption. We investigated the relationship between the hemofilter membrane area and the CL of the high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). We performed experimental hemofiltration in vitro using polymethyl methacrylate membranes CH-1.8W (1.8 m2) and CH-1.0N (1.0 m2), as well as polysulfone membrane NV-18X (1.8 m2). After adding 100 mg of HMGB1 or 10 μg of IL-6 into the test solution, experimental hemofiltration was conducted for 360 min in a closed-loop circulation system, and the same amount of HMGB1 and IL-6 was added after 180 min. With CH-1.8W and CH-1.0N, both HMGB-1 and IL-6 showed a rapid concentration decrease of more than 70% at 180 min and 360 min after the re-addition. At 15 min, the CL of HMGB-1 was CH-1.8W: 28.4 and CH-1.0N: 19.8, and that of IL-6 was CH-1.8W: 41.1 and CH-1.0N: 25.4. CH-1.8W and CH-1.0N removed HMGB1 and IL-6 by adsorption and CH-1.8W was superior in CL, which increased with a greater membrane area.

Journal of intensive care 9(1) 53-53 2021年8月25日 査読有りThe Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2020 (J-SSCG 2020), a Japanese-specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created as revised from J-SSCG 2016 jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in September 2020 and published in February 2021. An English-language version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese-language version. The purpose of this guideline is to assist medical staff in making appropriate decisions to improve the prognosis of patients undergoing treatment for sepsis and septic shock. We aimed to provide high-quality guidelines that are easy to use and understand for specialists, general clinicians, and multidisciplinary medical professionals. J-SSCG 2016 took up new subjects that were not present in SSCG 2016 (e.g., ICU-acquired weakness [ICU-AW], post-intensive care syndrome [PICS], and body temperature management). The J-SSCG 2020 covered a total of 22 areas with four additional new areas (patient- and family-centered care, sepsis treatment system, neuro-intensive treatment, and stress ulcers). A total of 118 important clinical issues (clinical questions, CQs) were extracted regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. These CQs also include those that have been given particular focus within Japan. This is a large-scale guideline covering multiple fields; thus, in addition to the 25 committee members, we had the participation and support of a total of 226 members who are professionals (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, clinical engineers, and pharmacists) and medical workers with a history of sepsis or critical illness. The GRADE method was adopted for making recommendations, and the modified Delphi method was used to determine recommendations by voting from all committee members.As a result, 79 GRADE-based recommendations, 5 Good Practice Statements (GPS), 18 expert consensuses, 27 answers to background questions (BQs), and summaries of definitions and diagnosis of sepsis were created as responses to 118 CQs. We also incorporated visual information for each CQ according to the time course of treatment, and we will also distribute this as an app. The J-SSCG 2020 is expected to be widely used as a useful bedside guideline in the field of sepsis treatment both in Japan and overseas involving multiple disciplines.

Journal of artificial organs : the official journal of the Japanese Society for Artificial Organs 2021年8月16日Infection during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a common complication that leads to increased mortality. Thus, antimicrobial prophylaxis during ECMO is often performed to prevent of nosocomial infections. However, the current status of antimicrobial prophylaxis during ECMO in Japan is unclear. Therefore, we conducted a national survey of members of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine (JSICM) to clarify the current status of antimicrobial prophylaxis during ECMO in intensive care units. An 11-question survey was devised to assess antimicrobial prophylaxis and surveillance practices during ECMO. A total of 253 hospitals responded. Of these, 235 hospitals were the JSICM-certified hospitals, and the response rate was 64%. A total of 96 hospitals (39%) administered antimicrobial prophylaxis during ECMO, and 17% of hospitals had a standardized protocol for antimicrobial prophylaxis during ECMO. Of these 96 hospitals, 79% used single agents. First-generation cephalosporins were the most commonly used (54%), followed by penicillins or penicillin-derived combinations (24%), second-generation cephalosporins (7%), and anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus agents (6%). In conclusion, our survey revealed 39% of hospitals administered antimicrobial prophylaxis during ECMO in Japan. First-generation cephalosporins were the agents most commonly used.

Therapeutic apheresis and dialysis : official peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy 25(4) 401-406 2021年8月Myoglobin, which can cause acute kidney injury, has a relatively high molecular weight and is poorly cleared by diffusion. We compared and examined myoglobin clearance by changing the blood purification membrane and modality in patients with a myoglobin blood concentration ≥ 1000 ng/ml. We retrospectively analyzed three patient groups based on the following three types of continuous hemofiltration (CHF): AN69ST membrane, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) membrane, and high-flow hemodiafiltration (HDF) with increased dialysate flow rate using the PMMA membrane. There was no significant difference in clearance in CHF between AN69ST and PMMA membranes. However, the high-flow HDF group showed the highest myoglobin clearance (p = 0.003). In the PMMA membrane, changing the treatment modality to high-flow HDF increased clearance above the theoretical value, possibly due to internal filtration. To remove myoglobin by kidney replacement therapy from patients with hypermyoglobinemia, a modality such as high-flow HDF would be desirable.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia 2021年7月8日OBJECTIVES: Hyperchloremia is a potential risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients. However, the relationship between hyperchloremia and postoperative AKI in adult patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains unclear. The authors aimed to determine whether postoperative hyperchloremia was associated with postoperative AKI in these populations. OBJECTIVES: Retrospective, single-center study. SETTING: Tertiary care hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Adult patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery with CPB. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Patients with and without postoperative hyperchloremia were matched (1:1). The primary outcome was the rate of postoperative AKI diagnosed using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes consensus criteria. Postoperative hyperchloremia was defined as postoperative serum chloride levels of >110 mmol/L during the first 48 hours. An increase in serum chloride levels (Δ[Cl-]) was defined as the difference between the preoperative and maximum postoperative serum chloride levels during the first 48 hours ([Cl-]max). Propensity-score matching and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed. A total of 323 patients were included. Propensity-score matching selected 55 pairs for the final comparison. The incidence of postoperative AKI did not differ between the two groups (47% v 46%, p = 1.0). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, Δ[Cl-] was associated independently with the development of postoperative AKI (odds ratio, 1.13; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-1.21; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to postoperative hyperchloremia was not associated with postoperative AKI in adult patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery with CPB. However, an increase in the serum chloride level might be associated with postoperative AKI.

Journal of artificial organs : the official journal of the Japanese Society for Artificial Organs 24(2) 282-286 2021年6月Spontaneous abdominal wall hematomas are relatively rare and mainly attributed to anticoagulation and severe cough. Despite the high incidence of anticoagulation-related bleeding complications, there are no reports of spontaneous abdominal wall hematomas during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We report a case of a spontaneous rectus sheath hematoma caused by alternation of the lateral semi-prone position during ECMO in a 76-year-old female patient with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Unfractionated heparin 12,000-14,000 units/day was administered for anticoagulation during ECMO. From Day 6 of ECMO, the patient who was under deep sedation was alternately placed in the left and right lateral semi-prone positions every 4 h, for approximately 20 h per day. On Day 12 of ECMO, the patient developed hypotension with anemia and a palpable mass in the right lower abdomen. Abdominal ultrasonographic imaging revealed a huge echo-free space centered in the right lower abdomen. Emergency contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scanning showed extravasation from the superior and inferior epigastric arteries as well as a rectus sheath hematoma. Despite no apparent contrast leakage, an inferior epigastric artery embolization was undertaken because the patient was on ECMO. On Day 13 after ECMO initiation, ECMO and anticoagulation were discontinued. On CT scanning a week later, the hematoma had reduced. In conclusion, spontaneous abdominal wall hematoma is a rare and important complication that might occur during ECMO. Thus, careful physical examination should be routinely conducted when the patient is semi-prone during ECMO.

Acute medicine & surgery e664 2021年5月4日The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread worldwide since early 2020, and there are still no signs of resolution. The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock (J-SSCG) 2020 Special Committee created the Japanese Rapid/Living recommendations on drug management for COVID-19 using the experience of creating the J-SSCGs. The Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to determine the certainty of the evidence and strength of the recommendations. The first edition of this guideline was released on September 9, 2020, and this document is the revised edition (ver. 3.1) (released on March 30, 2021). Clinical questions (CQs) were set for the following seven drugs: favipiravir (CQ1), remdesivir (CQ-2), hydroxychloroquine (CQ-3), corticosteroids (CQ-4), tocilizumab (CQ-5), ciclesonide (CQ-6), and anticoagulants (CQ-7). Favipiravir is recommended for patients with mild COVID-19 not requiring supplemental oxygen (GRADE 2C); remdesivir for moderate COVID-19 patients requiring supplemental oxygen/hospitalization (GRADE 2B); hydroxychloroquine is not recommended for all COVID-19 patients (GRADE 1B); corticosteroids are recommended for moderate COVID-19 patients requiring supplemental oxygen/hospitalization (GRADE 1B) and severe COVID-19 patients requiring ventilator management/intensive care (GRADE 1A); however, their administration is not recommended for mild COVID-19 patients not requiring supplemental oxygen (GRADE 1B); tocilizumab is recommended for moderate COVID-19 patients requiring supplemental oxygen/hospitalization (GRADE 2B); and anticoagulant therapy for moderate COVID-19 patients requiring supplemental oxygen/hospitalization and severe COVID-19 patients requiring ventilator management/intensive care (GRADE 2C). We hope that these clinical practice guidelines will aid medical professionals involved in the care of COVID-19 patients.

Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland) 10(10) 2020年10月15日ABO blood groups have been implicated as potential risk factors for various diseases. However, no study has investigated the association between sepsis mortality and ABO blood types. We aimed to evaluate the impact of these blood types on mortality in patients with sepsis and septic shock. This retrospective observational study was conducted at two general hospitals in Japan. Patients diagnosed with sepsis or septic shock were included and divided into four groups based on blood type (O, A, B, and AB). The association between type O vs. other types and 28- and 90-day mortalities was evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, and Sequential (Sepsis-related) Organ Failure Assessment score. This study included 415 patients, of whom 131 (31.6%), 171 (41.2%), 81 (19.5%), and 32 (7.7%) had type O, A, B, and AB, respectively. Blood type O was not associated with 28-day (odds ratio: 1.7 p = 0.08) or 90-day mortality (odds ratio: 1.53, p = 0.091). However, type O was significantly associated with higher 90-day mortality (odds ratio: 3.26, p = 0.009) in patients with septic shock. The role of ABO blood type in risk stratification for septic shock and the mechanisms that potentially affect the prognosis of sepsis patients need further investigation.

Therapeutic apheresis and dialysis : official peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy 24(5) 499-502 2020年10月Patients who undergo renal replacement therapy often exhibit a high plasma linezolid concentration. Linezolid is metabolized via oxidation. Nafamostat mesilate has antioxidant effects and is frequently used as an anticoagulant during renal replacement therapy. We aimed to investigate the effect of nafamostat mesilate on plasma linezolid concentration. We examined whether the co-administration of linezolid and nafamostat had any effect on plasma linezolid concentration. Mice were randomly allocated to two groups (n = 18/group): linezolid (100 mg kg-1 , subcutaneous injection) + nafamostat (30 mg kg-1 , intraperitoneal injection) and linezolid + saline. At 5 hours, the linezolid concentration was significantly higher in the linezolid + nafamostat co-administration group than that in the linezolid + saline group (20.6 ± 9.8 vs 3.6 ± 1.2 μg/mL, respectively P < .001). The antioxidant effects of nafamostat may inhibit linezolid metabolism, resulting in the adverse event of high linezolid concentration if both are administered concurrently during renal replacement therapy.

Therapeutic apheresis and dialysis : official peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy 24(5) 476-481 2020年10月We aimed to evaluate whether cardiac output assessed by transpulmonary thermodilution during blood purification is affected by the difference between the blood return temperature and core temperature. We applied different blood return temperatures using a thermostat bath during blood purification in four pigs. After the blood return temperature stabilized and blood purification process stopped, the cardiac output assessed by transpulmonary thermodilution was measured. The thermostat bath was set at 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, and 50°C, with the order changed at random; four measurements were made at each temperature. Cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography when ice-cold saline was administered in a pig. A decrease in the blood return temperature resulted in decreased cardiac output assessed by transpulmonary thermodilution, whereas an increase resulted in increased cardiac output assessed by transpulmonary thermodilution. Echocardiography revealed that the change in the blood return temperature did not affect the left ventricular ejection fraction.

Fujita medical journal 6(3) 59-66 2020年OBJECTIVES: Hepatectomy is used to treat several liver diseases, although perioperative mortality and postoperative complication rates remain high. Given the lack of relevant studies to date, the present study aimed to investigate potential predictive factors for postoperative complications in patients undergoing hepatectomies lasting 12 or more hours (termed "extremely long hepatectomies"). METHODS: Adult patients undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) after extremely long hepatectomies at Fujita Health University Hospital between 2014 and 2017 were enrolled in the study. Postoperative complications were classified as "major complications" and "non-major complications" according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification grading system. We also divided our study population into "simple hepatectomy" and "non-simple hepatectomy" subgroups for further analysis. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test, chi-squared test, and multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: In total, 114 patients (Major Complications Group, n=44; Non-Major Complications Group, n=70) were enrolled. In the Simple Hepatectomy Group, there were no significant variables. In the Non-Simple Hepatectomy Group, female sex (odds ratio [OR], 13.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00-1.81×102; p=0.04) and lactate levels at ICU admission (OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 0.99-2.59; p=0.05) were independent factors associated with major postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: In the Simple Hepatectomy Group, there were no significant variables. In the Non-Simple Hepatectomy Group, female sex and lactate levels at ICU admission of patients who underwent extremely long hepatectomies may be independent factors associated with major postoperative complications.

Japan journal of nursing science : JJNS 16(1) 80-87 2019年1月AIM: Endotracheal intubation of critically ill patients increases the risk of aspiration pneumonia, which can be reduced by regular oral care. However, the rinsing of the residual oral contaminants after mechanical cleaning carries the risk of aspirating the residue during the intubation period. Removing the contaminants by wiping with mouth wipes could be an alternative to rinsing with water because of no additional fluid. This study tested: (i) the amount of oral bacteria during endotracheal intubation and after extubation; and (ii) the changes in the bacterial count during oral care procedures. METHODS: Thirty-five mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit were enrolled. The amount of bacteria on the dorsal tongue surface was counted before and following oral care and then after the elimination of contaminants either by rinsing with water and suctioning or by wiping with mouth wipes. The oral bacterial amount was compared statistically between the intubation and extubation status and among set time points during the oral care procedure. RESULTS: The oral bacterial count was significantly decreased after extubation. During the oral care procedure, the oral bacterial amount was significantly lower after eliminating the contaminants either by rinsing or wiping, with no remarkable difference between the elimination techniques. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that the oral bacterial amount is elevated during endotracheal intubation, which could increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia. The significant reduction in the bacterial count by wiping indicates that it might be a suitable alternative to rinsing for mechanically ventilated patients.

Fujita medical journal 5(4) 104-106 2019年OBJECTIVES: Nasal high-flow (NHF) therapy provides continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), flushes the anatomical dead space, and improves mucociliary clearance. CPAP is usually applied at a flow rate at or above an established threshold value with the mouth closed because it is hard to maintain it with an open mouth. We conducted a prospective study to validate our hypothesis that CPAP can be applied with the mouth open through a surgical face mask. METHODS: We inserted 12-Fr nasogastric tubes through the noses of 18 healthy individuals and fixed each tube within the pharynx to monitor the intrapharyngeal pressure. We monitored the pressure during the following two conditions: NHF oxygen with the mouth open (condition O) and NHF oxygen with the mouth open and wearing a surgical face mask (condition OM). We set the NHF rate at 40 L/min and the oxygen concentration at 21%, under all conditions. We measured the intrapharyngeal pressure five times during each inspiration and expiration, and calculated mean values. RESULTS: The mean expiratory intrapharyngeal pressure (median [interquartile range]) increased significantly from the baseline during conditions O (2.08 [1.58-4.02] cm H2O) and OM (3.35 [2.72-3.79] cm H2O). In addition, there was a significant difference in pressure between conditions O and OM (p=0.0263, Wilcoxon signed-rank test). CONCLUSIONS: In our healthy volunteers, the intrapharyngeal pressures increased during expiration with an open mouth while wearing a surgical face mask.
