Project description:Delirium is a common postoperative complication among older patients with many adverse outcomes. Due to lack of validated biomarkers, prediction and monitoring of delirium by biological testing is not currently feasible. Circulating proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may reflect biological processes causing delirium. Our goal was to discover and investigate candidate protein biomarkers in preoperative CSF that were associated with development of postoperative delirium in older surgical patients. We employed a nested case–control study design coupled with high multiplex affinity proteomics analysis to measure 1305 proteins in preoperative CSF. Twenty-four matched delirium cases and non-delirium controls were selected from the Healthier Postoperative Recovery (HiPOR) cohort and the associations between preoperative protein levels and postoperative delirium were assessed using t-test statistics with further analysis by systems biology to elucidate delirium pathophysiology. Proteomics analysis identified 32 proteins in preoperative CSF that significantly associate with delirium (t-test p<0.05). Due to the limited sample size these proteins did not remain significant by multiple hypothesis testing using the Benjamini-Hochberg correction and q-value method. Three algorithms were applied to separate delirium cases from non-delirium controls. Hierarchical clustering classified 40/48 case-control samples correctly, principal components analysis separated 43/48. The receiver operating characteristic curve yielded an area under the curve [95% confidence interval] of 0.91 [0.80-0.97]. Systems biology analysis identified several key pathways associated with risk of delirium: inflammation, immune cell migration, apoptosis, angiogenesis, synaptic depression and neuronal cell death. Proteomics analysis of preoperative CSF identifies 32 proteins that might discriminate individuals who subsequently develop postoperative delirium from matched control samples. These proteins are potential candidate biomarkers for delirium and may play a role in its pathophysiology.

Project description:Treatment options and reliable predictive marker to determine patients at risk to develop postoperative LD and to define the optimal time point of liver resection are limited. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for an easily assessable preoperative test to predict postoperative liver function recovery, specifically as current markers are often expensive, time consuming and sometimes invasive. Emerging evidence suggests that microRNA (miRNA) signatures represent potent diagnostic, prognostic and treatment response biomarkers for several diseases. Using next-generation sequencing as an unbiased systematic approach 554 miRNAs were detected in preoperative plasma of 21 patients suffering from postoperative LD after liver resection and 27 matched controls. Subsequently, we identified a miRNA signature - consisting of miRNAs 151a-5p, 192-5p and 122-5p - that highly correlated with patients developing postoperative LD after liver resection. The predictive potential for postoperative LD was subsequently confirmed using real-time PCR in an independent validation cohort of 98 patients. Ultimately, a regression model of the two miRNA ratios 151a-5p to 192-5p and 122-5p to 151a-5p was found to reliably predict postoperative LD, severe morbidity, prolonged intensive care unit and hospital stay and even mortality prior to surgery with a remarkable accuracy, thereby outperforming established markers of postoperative LD. Ultimately, we documented that miRNA ratios closely followed liver function recovery after partial hepatectomy. Conclusion: Given the clinical relevance of predicting potentially fatal postoperative clinical outcome after liver resection, our data demonstrate the clinical utility of a novel miRNA-based biomarker to support the selection of patients undergoing partial hepatectomy. The dynamical changes during liver function recovery indicate a possible role in tailoring the optimal time point of surgery to each individual patient. Thereby, our data might help to tailor surgical strategies to the specific risk profile of individual patients.

Project description:Cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass induce a substantial immune and inflammatory response, the overactivation of which is associated with significant complications. Longitudinal DNA methylation profiling allows the potential to identify changes in gene regulatory mechanisms that are secondary to surgery and to identify molecular processes that predict and/or cause postoperative complications. In this study, we measure DNA methylation in preoperative and postoperative whole blood samples from 96 patients undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass. We identify several loci with statistically significant postoperative changes in methylation. Additionally, two of these loci are associated with new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation, a significant complication after cardiac surgery. This research establishes that there are statistically significant changes in DNA methylation that occur immediately after cardiac surgery and that these acute alterations in DNA methylation have the granularity to identify processes associated with major postoperative complications.

Project description:Colorectal and thoracic surgical patients are susceptible to poor postoperative outcome including complications, mortality and increased length of stay. Preoperative physical fitness is protective against poor postoperative outcome in intra-abdominal and thoracic surgery.
The current colorectal/thoracic pathway from diagnosis to surgery is about 2 weeks and therefore interventions of longer duration are not feasible. Clinicians may be presented with a difficult choice in delaying surgery to perform prehab or cancel the pre-op intervention.
To create greater improvements in aerobic fitness, participants are required to exercise at high levels of VO2peak (e.g. ≥80% VO2peak). High intensity interval training (HIIT) requires participants to exercise at high levels of VO2peak (≥80% VO2peak) for short periods (e.g. 15 seconds) followed by a recovery (active or passive) and typically continue this pattern for 30 minutes or until exhaustion.
HIIT programmes are safe and a recent meta-analysis noted that HIIT produced a more pronounced incremental gain in participants’ mean VO2peak when compared with continuous moderate intensity exercise (+1.78mL/kg/min, 95% CI: 0.45-3.11).
HITT has not been investigated as a preoperative intervention to either optimize fitness prior to surgery or reduce post-surgical complications. Preoperative HIIT is an intense intervention which will require significant participant adherence. The safety, cost and clinical application of such a programme needs to be performed. This feasibility study aims to assess the ability of HIIT to improve aerobic fitness two weeks prior to surgery and determine its feasibility.

Project description:Background: On-pump cardiac surgery triggers sterile inflammation and postoperative complications such as postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). Hematopoietic somatic mosaicism (HSM) is a recently identified risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and results in a shift toward a chronic proinflammatory monocyte transcriptome and phenotype. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence, characteristics, and impact of HSM on preoperative blood and myocardial myeloid cells as well as on outcomes after cardiac surgery. Methods: Blood DNA from 104 patients referred for surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) was genotyped using the HemePACT panel (576 genes). Four screening methods were applied to assess HSM, and postoperative outcomes were explored. In-depth blood and myocardial leukocyte phenotyping was performed in selected patients using mass cytometry and preoperative and postoperative RNA sequencing analysis of classical monocytes. Results: The prevalence of HSM in the patient cohort ranged from 29%, when considering the conventional HSM panel (97 genes) with variant allelic frequencies ≥2%, to 60% when considering the full HemePACT panel and variant allelic frequencies ≥1%. Three of 4 explored HSM definitions were significantly associated with higher risk for POAF. On the basis of the most inclusive definition, HSM carriers exhibited a 3.5-fold higher risk for POAF (age-adjusted OR: 3.5; 95% CI: 1.52-8.03; P = 0.003) and an exaggerated inflammatory response following AVR. HSM carriers presented higher levels of activated CD64+CD14+CD16- circulating monocytes and inflammatory monocyte-derived macrophages in presurgery myocardium. Conclusions: HSM is frequent in candidates for AVR, is associated with an enrichment of proinflammatory cardiac monocyte-derived macrophages, and predisposes to a higher incidence of POAF. HSM assessment may be useful in the personalized management of patients in the perioperative period.

Project description:Age-related declines in cardiorespiratory fitness and physical function are mitigated by regular endurance exercise in older adults. This may be due, in part, to changes in the transcriptional program of skeletal muscle following repeated bouts of exercise. However, the impact of chronic exercise training on the transcriptional response to an acute bout of endurance exercise has not been clearly determined. Here, we characterized baseline differences in muscle transcriptome and exercise-induced response in older adults who were active/endurance trained or sedentary. RNA-sequencing was performed on vastus lateralis biopsy specimens obtained before, immediately after, and 3 h following a bout of endurance exercise (40 min of cycling at 60%–70% of heart rate reserve). Using a recently developed bioinformatics approach, we found that transcript signatures related to type I myofibers, mitochondria, and endothelial cells were higher in active/endurance-trained adults and were associated with key phenotypic features including V̇o2peak, ATPmax, and muscle fiber proportion. Immune cell signatures were elevated in the sedentary group and linked to visceral and intermuscular adipose tissue mass. Following acute exercise, we observed distinct temporal transcriptional signatures that were largely similar among groups. Enrichment analysis revealed catabolic processes were uniquely enriched in the sedentary group at the 3-h postexercise timepoint. In summary, this study revealed key transcriptional signatures that distinguished active and sedentary adults, which were associated with difference in oxidative capacity and depot-specific adiposity. The acute response signatures were consistent with beneficial effects of endurance exercise to improve muscle health in older adults irrespective of exercise history and adiposity.

Project description:Despite advances in surgical care, the incidence of postoperative complications and prolonged recovery following colorectal surgery remains high. Efforts to improve the recovery process have primarily focused on the intraoperative (eg, minimally invasive surgery, afferent neural blockade) and post-operative periods (eg, "fast track" early nutrition and mobilization. The pre-operative period may in fact be a better time to intervene in the factors that contribute to recovery. The process of enhancing functional capacity of the individual in anticipation of an upcoming stressor has been termed "prehabilitation". Based on the notion that preoperative exercise would have an impact on recovery of functional capacity after colorectal surgery, our group recently conducted a randomized controlled trial. Subgroup analysis identified that patients whose functional exercise capacity improved preoperatively, regardless of exercise technique, recovered well in the postoperative period. However, one-third of patients deteriorated preoperatively despite the exercise regimen, and these patients were also at greater risk for prolonged recovery after surgery. These results suggested that exercise alone is not sufficient to attenuate the stress response in all patients. In the present trial, the impact of a multimodal prehabilitation intervention composed of exercise, nutritional supplement and psychological well-being begun in the preoperative period will be compared to one begun in the postoperative period.

Project description:Mitochondrial function in human skeletal muscle declines with aging, possibly because of damage accumulation caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during oxidative phosphorylation. However, most evidence for such a decline comes from studies based on indirect methods and the clinical relevance of this decline with respect to physical function has not been clearly delineated. We hypothesized that mitochondrial respiration objectively assessed in permeabilized human muscle fibers declines with aging, correlates with phosphocreatine post exercise recovery rate (kPCr) assessed by 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and with muscle performance and aerobic fitness. Mitochondrial respiration was assessed by high resolution respirometry in saponin-permeabilized fibers from vastus lateralis muscle biopsies of 38 participants from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) (21 men, age 24-91 years) who also had available measures of peak oxygen consumption (VO2max) from treadmill tests, gait speed in different tasks, 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy and isokinetic knee extension strength. Results indicated a significant reduction in mitochondrial respiration in older age (p<0.05) that was independent of potential confounders. Mitochondrial respiratory capacity was also associated with VO2max, muscle strength, phosphocreatine post-exercise recovery rate (kPCr), and time in 400m walk (p < 0.05). A moderate negative trend toward significance (p = 0.074) was observed between mitochondrial respiration and BMI. Finally, transcriptional profiling revealed a downregulation of mitochondrial gene networks with aging (p < 0.05). Overall, our findings reinforce the notion that mitochondrial function declines with age and is implicated in the parallel decline of muscle performance and cardiorespiratory fitness.

Project description:We investigated the individual phenotypic predisposition to developing uncomplicated infection or sepsis in a large cohort of non-infected patients undergoing major elective surgery. Whole blood RNA sequencing analysis was performed on preoperative samples taken from 267 patients. These comprised patients who developed postoperative infection with (n=77) or without (n=49) sepsis, non-infectious systemic inflammatory response (n=31), or an uncomplicated postoperative course (n=110). Machine learning classification models built on preoperative transcriptomic signatures predicted postoperative outcomes including sepsis.

Project description:The inflammatory response to surgery is essential for healing and recovery, however hyperinflammation and altered immune competence increases the risk of inflammation mediated complications. We hypothesised that, in some patients, a state of postoperative systemic inflammatory dysregulation (PSID) exists increasing the risk or infection and sepsis, and that this will be associated with, and potentially predicted by, altered patterns of genome-wide peripheral blood mononuclear cell differential DNA methylation and gene expression. In this study we utilised phenotypic extremes of postoperative plasma C-reactive protein levels to define PSID, which manifested clinically in significantly higher rates of sepsis, complications and longer hospital stays following major abdominal surgery. We identified altered DNA methylation and differential gene expression in specific immune and metabolic pathways during PSID. Our findings suggest that dysregulation results in, or from, dramatic changes in differential DNA methylation and highlights potential targets for early detection and treatment. The combination of altered DNA methylation and gene expression confirms that dysregulation is mediated at multiple levels within specific gene sets and hence, non-specific anti-inflammatory treatments such as corticosteroids alone are unlikely to represent an effective therapeutic strategy.
