Effect of protective ventilation throughout the intubation period on perioperative oxygenation in patients undergoing MIDCABG: a randomised controlled trial.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting (MIDCABG) requires prolonged one-lung ventilation (OLV), increasing postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) risk. We investigated whether protective lung ventilation (PLV) throughout intubation benefits MIDCABG patients. METHODS: In this single-center randomized study, MIDCABG patients received PLV (low tidal volume of 6-8&#x2009;mL&#xb7;kg-1, PEEP of 6&#x2009;cm H2O, alveolar recruitment maneuvers) or conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV, tidal volume of 8-10&#x2009;mL&#xb7;kg-1, without PEEP or maneuvers) from tracheal intubation to extubation. The primary outcome was perioperative oxygenation, assessed by the PaO2/FiO2 ratio. RESULTS: Sixty patients (n = 30 per group) were enrolled. Compared with CMV, PLV improved PaO2/FiO2 ratios (mean difference at OLV60: 34.56&#x2009;mmHg; 95% CI: 11.78-57.33; p&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.01), shortened median durations of postoperative mechanical ventilation (median difference: -4.5&#x2009;h, 95% CI: -8.5 to -0.5; p&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.013) and hospital stay (median difference: -3.0&#x2009;days, 95% CI: -5.0 to -1.0; p&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.019). PLV also reduced driving pressure, airway pressure and intrapulmonary shunt during OLV (all p&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.05). Desaturation occurred in 23.3% of CMV patients and 13.3% of PLV patients (p&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.506). Hemodynamic parameters were generally comparable between groups, except for lower MPAP and PVRI in the PLV group during OLV and after ICU admission (p&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.05). The incidence of PPCs did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing MIDCABG, PLV applied throughout intubation improved perioperative oxygenation and shortened the duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation and hospital stay, but did not reduce PPCs.

Opposite metabolic and gut responses to oral glutamine in male and female mice with diet-induced obesity.

Obesity is often associated with sex-dependent metabolic complications, to which altered intestinal barrier function and gut microbiota contribute. Glutamine supplementation has previously shown beneficial effects on gut barrier function and glycemic control. We thus aimed to characterize, in male and female mice, the effects of oral glutamine supplementation during high-fat-diet-induced obesity. Male and female C57BL/6 mice received a standard (SD) or high-fat diet (HFD; 60 % kcal from fat) for 14&#xa0;weeks (W14). From W12 onward, mice received glutamine in drinking water (2&#xa0;g/kg/day) or no supplementation. Body composition, glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, intestinal permeability, colonic inflammatory response, cecal microbiota and inflammatory/endocrine adipose response were assessed. In both male and female mice, glutamine supplementation failed to improve body weight and body composition. However, glutamine reduced glucose intolerance in HFD-fed males (AUC reduced by 14.57 %) that was associated with a partial restoration of plasma resistin and insulin and a trend toward limiting adipose inflammatory response. In males, glutamine did not affect gut microbiota composition and colonic response. Conversely, in HFD-fed females, glutamine supplementation led to gut microbiota changes (increase in Bacteroidota and Pseudomonadota phyla; increase in Muribaculaceae and Tannerellaceae families), increased colonic inflammatory markers (Il1b, Tlr4, Myd88, Irf3), increased inflammatory response in subcutaneous adipose tissue and increased HOMA-IR. Finally, HFD-fed mice exhibited sex-specific responses to glutamine supplementation with protective effects in males and harmful effects in females that need to be further deeply explored.

Male accessory gland proteins in Grapholita molesta: Identification and reproductive functional validation of four accessory gland-specific lipases.

Accessory gland proteins (Acps), synthesized in the male accessory glands (AGs), are transferred to females via spermatophores during mating and elicit diverse post-mating physiological and behavioral responses. However, Acps have not been comprehensively characterized in Grapholita molesta, a cosmopolitan orchard pest. Here, using data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry, we describe an integrated proteomic approach combining comparative AG analyses (virgin vs. newly mated) with spermatophore profiling to identify Acps in G. molesta. According to the established screening criteria, we identified 83 confirmed Acps, which were classified into nine categories. Tissue-specific expression patterns of 20 randomly selected Acp genes were evaluated, revealing that these genes were specifically or highly expressed in male AGs. Among the 83 confirmed Acps, four Acps harbored the PLN02872 superfamily domain and were classified into the canonical lipase family. Notably, their transcripts were all highly expressed in the AGs during the pre-maturation stage. These four Acps were selected for preliminary validation of their male reproductive functions. RNAi-mediated knockdown of three out of four lipase genes in G. molesta males significantly decreased the fertility of mated females, with phenotypes including a significant reduction in egg production and egg hatching rate. This study provides a comprehensive catalog of high-confidence Acps, lays a foundation for subsequent in-depth functional characterization of these reproductive proteins, and offers promising molecular targets for the development of novel genetic regulation-based integrated pest management strategies.

Sex-stratified mortality trends in preterm birth complications in Sierra Leone: progress, persistence, and equity implications.

BACKGROUND: Preterm birth complications remain a leading cause of neonatal mortality in Sierra Leone, despite recent health system gains. Evidence on long-term sex-specific disparities in mortality due to preterm birth complications is limited, constraining equitable neonatal care planning. OBJECTIVE: To examine two&#x2011;decade trends in sex&#x2011;stratified mortality from preterm birth complications using standardized equity indicators. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective longitudinal analysis of sex-disaggregated mortality estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Health Estimates (GHE), accessed through the WHO Health Equity Assessment Toolkit (HEAT), Built-in Database Edition (Version 6.0). Mortality rates per 100,000 population were extracted for 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016, and 2021. Inequality was assessed using absolute difference (D), relative ratio (R), population attributable risk (PAR), and population attributable fraction (PAF). RESULTS: Mortality declined substantially between 2001 and 2021 for both males (85.1-49.3 per 100,000) and females (71.2-39.9 per 100,000). Male mortality remained consistently higher across all years, with relative ratios indicating approximately 20-25% excess mortality among male neonates. Absolute inequalities narrowed modestly over time, whereas relative inequalities remained largely unchanged. PAR and PAF remained close to zero throughout the study period. Wider uncertainty intervals in earlier years reflected limited empirical data availability. CONCLUSION: Although preterm mortality declined over two decades, a persistent male disadvantage remained in Sierra Leone. These findings highlight the importance of integrating sex-disaggregated equity monitoring into neonatal policies and programmes. Future research should evaluate strategies to reduce the persistent excess mortality among male neonates while sustaining overall improvements in neonatal survival and progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 3.2.
