Abstract

Systemic inflammation plays an important role in pathogenesis of Covid-19, especially in development of ARDS which is characterized by decrease of PaO2/FiO2 ratio. CRP and procalcitonin are inflammatory markers that are closely associated with severity and mortality of Covid-19. Although several studies have addressed benefit of CRP and procalcitonin as markers on Covid-19 severity, the benefit of these inflammatory markers for in-hospital mortality remain inadequately understood. The aim of this study was to analyze PaO2/FiO2 ratio,comorbidity,CRP,and procalcitonin as risk factors that affect time of in-hospital mortality Covid-19 patient. This was a retrospective observational cohort study of 250 Covid-19 patients who died during hospitalization and data was retrieved from medical record. Laboratory data was collected from three different times, including at time of admission,third day of hospital care,and before patient’s death. Data were analyzed using Chi square test,Mann Whitney test,Wilcoxon test, Friedman test, and binary logistic regresion. There were significant differences between CRP and procalcitonin at admission and time of in-hospital mortality (p<0.001; p=0.007). Binary logistic regression  analysis revealed significant relationship between CRP and time of in-hospital mortality with p=0.007. ROC curve showed optimal threshold of 11.75mg/L with sensitivity 72.3%; specificity 59.6%, RR 3.24(95% CI: 1.84-5.70). Significant changes were observed regarding PaO2/FiO2 ratio,CRP,and procalcitonin at admission as compared to before patient’s death with p<0.001;p=0.017;p<0.001 respectively. This study showed significant decrease of PaO2/FiO2 ratio, elevated CRP and procalcitonin at admission as compared to before patient’s death. The increase of CRP could serve as predictor for time of in-hospital mortality for Covid-19 patient.

Abstract

Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a crucial role in COVID-19 disease progression. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) works throughout several GSH-mediated mechanisms and is known to eliminate oxidative stress in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19. This study aims to analyze the effect of the N-Acetylcysteine as Adjuvant Therapy to reduce TNF-α levels and Increase SpO2/FiO2 ratio in Improving hypoxemia in COVID-19 Patients. This is a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group design study. There were 91 subjects selected using non-random sampling, which consisted of 75 patients in the NAC group and 16 patients in the control group. The TNF-α level was measured using the ELISA method, and SpO2/FiO2 ratio was calculated on day 1 (on admission) and day eight after NAC 5000mg/ 72 hours was given. Statistical analysis was conducted using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U Test. There is a significant decrease in TNF-α level in the treatment group (median 1.49±5.22) (p=0.016) compared with the control group (median 1.64±1.99) (p=0.005). The Median SpO2/FiO2 ratio on day 1 is 163.70±69.64 in the control group and 121.49±40.41 in the treatment group (p=0.005). The Median SpO2/FiO2 ratio on day 8 is 249.69±132.26 in the control group and 151.29±59.18 in the treatment group (p=0.001). There is a positive correlation between serum TNF-α level and SpO2/FiO2 ratio after administration of adjuvant therapy NAC (r=0.240, p=0.038). There is a positive correlation and significant decrease of serum TNF-α and SpO2/FiO2 ratio after adjuvant NAC therapy, which improves hypoxemia in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory disorder characterized by increasing Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and eosinophil counts. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have shown promise as non-invasive biomarkers, reflecting COPD pathophysiology. Identifying specific VOCs associated with increased LTB4 and eosinophil counts could lead to the discovery of potential biomarkers for COPD severity or progression. AIMS: This study aims to investigate the correlation between VOCs and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) levels, as well as eosinophil counts counts in COPD patients. METHOD: Using an observational-analytic method with a case-control approach, 20 COPD patients and 20 controls were enrolled from the respiratory outpatient department of Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital, Malang. VOC levels were measured using a breath analyzer, while LTB4 levels were determined through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Spearman’s correlation tests examined associations between VOCs, LTB4, eosinophil counts, and comorbidity, with Mann-Whitney tests comparing results against the control group. Data significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULT: There were 40 COPD patients and 40 controls in this study. There were significant differences between VOCs in the COPD group and the control group (p < 0.05). LTB4 level significantly increased in the COPD group than in the control group (p < 0.001), and there was no difference in the eosinophil level. There was a correlation between LTB4 and VOC level of C2H5OH in COPD patients (p = 0.009; r = 0.410). There was no correlation between eosinophil counts and VOCs (p = 0.939). The level of VOCs was significantly different between patients with only COPD and patients with COPD and comorbid lung cancer (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: There is a correlation between VOC and LTB4 in COPD patients.

Abstract

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance, which are associated with increased risk for pulmonary fibrosis. This study investigates the impact of MetS on pulmonary fibrosis in a rat model using Partial Least Squares (PLS) path analysis. Methods: Sprague Dawley rats were fed a high-fat, high-fructose diet for 37 weeks to induce MetS. Key metabolic parameters, including body weight, lipid profiles, fasting blood glucose, fibrosis markers and Aschroft scores, were assessed. PLS path analysis was conducted to explore the relationships between these variables and their influence on pulmonary fibrosis. Results: PLS path analysis identified a strong correlation between increased body weight and MetS development (path coefficient=0.977). Dyslipidemia, characterized by elevated triglycerides and reduced HDL cholesterol, was also associated with MetS. A novel association was found between glucose dysregulation and pulmonary fibrosis (R2=0.908; path coefficient=0.947), suggesting that hyperglycemia contributes to lung fibrosis. Reduced PPARγ expression was associated with insulin resistance and inflammation, implicating it in fibrotic processes. Conclusion: This study highlights the role of metabolic disturbances in promoting pulmonary fibrosis in MetS. PLS path analysis effectively identified key metabolic pathways, suggesting potential targets for therapeutic intervention to mitigate MetS effects and prevent fibrosis. Further research is warranted to explore these pathways and develop targeted therapies.

Abstract

Introduction: Distinguishing between malignant and non-malignant pleural effusions is often challenging due to overlapping biochemical profiles. Conventional diagnostic methods, including cytology and biopsy, are limited by their invasive nature, high costs, and potential complications. Emerging biomarkers, such as tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and pleural fluid glucose levels, show promise as alternative diagnostic tools, but their clinical utility requires further validation. This study investigated the diagnostic value of TIMP-1 and pleural fluid glucose levels in differentiating malignant from non-malignant pleural effusions and explored their correlation in malignant cases. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study included patients with exudative pleural effusion, categorized as malignant or non-malignant based on cytology and/or biopsy results. Biomarker levels of TIMP-1 and pleural fluid glucose were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and biochemical analysis. Diagnostic thresholds for both biomarkers were determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: Among 88 patients studied (33 malignant, 55 non-malignant), pleural fluid glucose levels were significantly lower in malignant cases (55.97 vs. 93.71 mg/dL; p=0.001), while TIMP-1 levels were notably higher (13.88 vs. 13.34 pg/mL; p<0.001). Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy (86.5%) compared to glucose (70.6%) and the combined biomarker model (76.5%), with the sensitivity and specificity of 84.8% and 83.6%, respectively. Conclusion: Elevated TIMP-1 levels and reduced pleural fluid glucose levels are promising diagnostic biomarkers for malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 exhibited the highest diagnostic accuracy, highlighting its potential as a non-invasive diagnostic tool in clinical practice.
