Fetal Inflammatory Response

Overview Objective: Fetal Inflammatory Response Syndrome (FIRS) is a serious complication accompanied by increased neonatal mortality and morbidity. Early dia­gnosis of FIRS is essential to detect high risk infants. The aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between interleukin-6 
(IL-6), procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) in cord blood and histologically proven funisitis/ chorioamnionitis in high-risk infants after preterm birth. Methods: Blood sampling for the measurement of inflammatory bio­markers was performed immediately after placental delivery and umbilical cutting. Umbilical and placental inflammatory changes were assessed using a recently released scoring system (Amsterdam Placental Workshop Group Consensus). Results: One hundred preterm infants (30.5 ± 2.5 gestational week, birth weight 1,443 ± 566 grams) and 21 health term infants were analyzed. Histologic chorioamnionitis was confirmed in 19% cases and chorioamnionitis with funisitis in 7% cases. Thirty-three infants (33%) fulfilled criteria of FIRS (funistis and/ or umbilical IL-6 > 11 ng/ L). The presence of FIRS correlated significantly with maternal leukocytosis (P < 0.001), preterm premature rupture of membrane (P < 0.001) and preterm uterine contraction (P < 0.0001). In comparison to preterm and healthy term infants we found statistically significant higher levels of umbilical inflammatory bio­markers (IL-6, PCT, CRP) in FIRS group (P < 0.0001). Composite mortality and morbidity (bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular haemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia) was higher in FIRS group (28.1 vs 22.4% in preterm group). However, the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.53). Conclusion: Our study confirmed the correlation of umbilical inflammatory bio­markers levels (IL-6, PCT, CRP) and the presence of FIRS. We did not find significant adverse impact of FIRS on neonatal mortality and morbidity. Nevertheless, our results could be influenced by the size of study group and strict inclusion criteria (only cases after C-section were analyzed).

BACKGROUND: Ozone as a strong oxidant may induce an inflammatory response.Aim: The hypothesis was verified as to whether ozonated autohemotherapy using an ozone dose in therapeutic range changes the plasma concentration of C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, markers of inflammation.Methods: In a controlled, single-blind, cross-over study, 12 chronically hemodialyzed patients with peripheral arterial disease were exposed to nine sessions of autohemotherapy with blood exposure to oxygen as a control followed by nine sessions of ozonated autohemotherapy with an ozone concentration of 50 μg/ml.Results: There was no statistical difference between C-reactive protein levels at baseline (1.53±1.01 mg/l), after nine sessions of control autohemotherapy (1.48±0.96 mg/l), and after nine sessions of ozonated autohemotherapy (1.55±0.84 mg/l). There was also no statistical difference between the interleukin-6 serum concentration at baseline (438±118 pg/ml), after nine sessions of control autohemotherapy (444±120 pg/ml), and after nine sessions of ozonated autohemotherapy (466±152 pg/ml).Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that ozonated autohemotherapy using an ozone concentration of 50 μg/ml does not induce an inflammatory response.

Fetal Inflammatory Response

Anatomopathologic studies have failed to define the fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) as a cause of fetal death. Here, liver fragments of perinatal autopsies were collected at a university hospital from 1990 to 2009 and classified according to the cause of death, perinatal stress, and gestational age (GA) of the fetus. IL-6, TNF-α, and C-reactive protein (CRP) expression were immunostained, respectively, with primary antibody. Cases with congenital malformation, ascending infection, and perinatal anoxia showed increased IL-6, CRP, and TNF-α, respectively. Prematures presented higher expression of IL-6 whereas term births showed higher expression of CRP. Cases classified as acute stress presented higher expression of IL-6 and TNF-αand cases with chronic stress presented higher expression of CRP. GA correlated negatively with IL-6 and positively with CRP and TNF-α. Body weight correlated negatively with IL-6 and positively with CRP and TNF-α. Despite the diagnosis of FIRS being clinical and based on serum parameters, the findings in the current study allow the inference of FIRS diagnosis in the autopsied infants, based on anin situliver analysis of these markers.

Markers Of Inflammation

Criteria of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) are known to include patients without systemic inflammation. Our aim was to explore additional markers of inflammation that would distinguish SIRS patients with systemic inflammation from patients without inflammation. The study included 100 acutely ill patients with SIRS. Peripheral blood neutrophil and monocyte CD11b expression, serum interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, tumour necrosis factor-α and C-reactive protein were determined, and severity of inflammation was evaluated by systemic inflammation composite score based on CD11b expression, C-reactive protein and cytokine levels. Levels of CD11b expression, C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 were higher in sepsis patients than in SIRS patients who met two criteria (SIRS2 group) or three criteria of SIRS (SIRS3 group). The systemic inflammation composite score of SIRS2 patients (median 1.5; range 0–8, n = 56) was lower than that of SIRS3 patients (3.5; range 0–9, n = 14, P = 0.013) and that of sepsis patients (5.0; range 3–10, n = 19, P< 0.001). The systemic inflammation composite score was 0 in 13/94 patients. In 81 patients in whom systemic inflammation composite scores exceeded 1, interleukin-6 was increased in 64 (79.0%), C-reactive protein in 59 (72.8%) and CD11b in 50 (61.7%). None of these markers, when used alone, identified all patients but at least one marker was positive in each patient. Quantifying phagocyte CD11b expression and serum interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein concurrently provides a means to discriminate SIRS patients with systemic inflammation from patients without systemic inflammation.

Kondisi Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) berkebahyaan terjadinya sepsis dan kegagalan multi organ. Inflamasidapat menyebabkan terjadinya redistribusi zinc ke jaringan sehingga terjadi penurunan kadar zinc plasma. Kadar CRP pada SIRSmeningkat sebagai respons peningkatan protein tahap akut. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui apakah kadar zinc dan CRP serummerupakan faktor kebahayaan kematian di pasien SIRS. Penelitian observasional analitik dengan pendekatan kohort prospektif di 30pasien SIRS berusia 27–64 tahun. Kadar zinc serum diperiksa dengan metode atomic absorbance spectrophotometer (AAS) dan CRPserum dengan metode latex agglutination immunoassay menggunakan alat autoanaliser. Kejadian kematian subjek dinilai setelah 28hari perawatan. Data dilakukan uji statistik Chi-Kwadrat, bila tidak memenuhi maka dilakukan uji alternatif Fisher. Besarnya nilaifaktor kebahyaan dilakukan perhitungan kebahayaan relatif. Rerata kadar zinc dan CRP berturut-turut 81,24 ± 8,72 μg/dL, dan 8,13± 8,12 mg/dL. Kematian dalam 28 hari adalah 33,3%. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kadar zinc plasma < 80 μg/dL bukanmerupakan faktor kebahayaan terjadinya kematian (p=0,114), sedangkan kadar CRP ≥ 10 mg/dL merupakan faktor kebahayaanterjadinya kematian di pasien SIRS (RR=3,28, 95% CI 1,33-8,13, p=0,015). Kadar zinc plasma bukan merupakan faktor kebahayaanterjadinya kematian pada SIRS, sedangkan kadar CRP merupakan faktor kebahayaan terjadinya kematian di pasien SIRS.
