Summary: This study investigated the toxic effects of repeated oral administration of histamine on lung and heart tissues in rats. The results showed that daily or weekly consumption of histamine could cause significant cardiopulmonary toxicity, leading to inflammation, oxidative stress damage, and apoptosis of these organs. The upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines in response to histamine may contribute to the overgeneration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induce oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-related lung injury in rats. The results showed that PHC treatment significantly improved hemodynamic indexes, blood gas indexes, and lung wet-day ratio in rats. Additionally, the levels of inflammatory factors in the serum decreased, while the oxidative stress indexes in lung tissue improved.

Summary: Nicorandil demonstrates myocardial protection by attenuating IR-induced LV dysfunction associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and organ injury. It should be further explored as a potential therapeutic strategy for limiting global IR injury during open-heart surgery in humans.

Summary: This study evaluated the cardioprotective efficacy of Xuebijing injection (XBJ), a Chinese medicine preparation, in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The results showed that XBJ administration was associated with improved cardiac function, reduced cardiac injury markers, and decreased inflammation and oxidative stress. The length of ICU stay and hospitalization time were also shorter in the XBJ group. These findings suggest that XBJ may provide cardioprotection during CPB.

Summary: A study on neonatal patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) revealed differential expression of multiple miRNAs in circulating leukocytes during and after bypass. These miRNAs are predicted to modulate pathways related to inflammation and signal transduction, contributing to the systemic inflammatory response post-CPB.

Summary: This study showed that circulating microparticles (MPs) concentration could be a potential new biomarker for predicting acute heart failure (AHF) after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). In patients with AHF, the plasma levels of MPs significantly increased at 12 hours post-operation, while this increase was not seen in non-AHF patients. Logistic regression analysis confirmed that MPs concentration at 12 hours post-operation was an independent risk factor for AHF, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 10%.

Summary: This pilot study investigated the efficacy of cytokine adsorption in controlling early inflammation cascade in patients undergoing open thoracoabdominal aortic repair. The results suggest that intraoperative hemoadsorption may be feasible and safe, but larger trials are needed to evaluate its clinical outcomes.

Summary: The study demonstrates that astaxanthin-loaded microparticles are radiation-resistant, well-tolerated by J774A.1 macrophages, significantly reduce intracellular reactive oxygen species, and inhibit the release of active TGF beta. This indicates that micro-encapsulation of bioactive molecules is a promising strategy to specifically target phagocytic cells and modulate their functions.

Summary: Patients undergoing coronary revascularization with extracorporeal circulation or cardiopulmonary bypass may develop systemic inflammatory response due to biochemical changes in the microcirculation. Inflammatory signaling pathways can be activated by surgical incision, reperfusion injury, and blood contact with non-endothelial membranes, leading to the production and activation of inflammatory cells, cytokine production, and oxidative stress. Addressing new perspectives for intraoperative treatment and management may reduce this inflammatory storm, improve prognosis, and potentially lower mortality rates in these patients.

Summary: The past decade has seen significant progress in medical field, making cardiac surgery more common and safer. However, postoperative delirium remains a major concern, with research focusing on potential triggers like inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as perioperative risk factors and interventions.

Summary: This systematic review aims to explore the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in routine cardiac operations, especially cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The results show that MMP levels are significantly correlated with CPB and the gelatinases MMP-2 and MMP-9 are highly released during cardiac surgery with CPB. Increased MMP levels are associated with adverse post-operative outcomes. Future large-scale prospective multicenter randomized clinical trials are needed to investigate the impact of mechanical and pharmacological strategies on the inflammatory response and postoperative outcomes in cardiac surgery and CPB.

Summary: This study compares the hemorheological and inflammatory changes before and after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and finds that hyperviscosity persists for almost one week after the surgery. Inflammatory markers are also correlated with hemorheological changes. Understanding the interplay between inflammation and hemorheological properties is crucial for patient care.

Summary: This study investigated the role of TREM-1 in systemic inflammation during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). They found that TREM-1 expression on neutrophils decreased, while soluble TREM-1 levels increased after CPB. The study also showed that baseline sTREM-1 levels and early kinetics after cardiac surgery were associated with post-operative complications and prolonged length of stay.

Summary: This study found that pre-conditioning with remifentanil can partially attenuate cardiopulmonary bypass-induced brain nerve injury in rats, and this effect may be mediated by regulating inflammation factors and oxidative stress markers.
