0347: Beneficial cardiovascular effects of O-GlcNAc stimulation in early phase of septic shock

2016

BackgroundO-GlcNAcylation, a post-translational modification, is the end product of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP). Recent studies showed beneficial effects of its increase in acute pathologies, such as hemorrhagic shock. We postulated that increase in total protein OGlcNAcylation at the early phase of septic shock, a systemic inflammation associated with a cardiovascular dysfunction, could improve cardiovascular function and reduce mortality.MethodsTo induce an endotoxemic shock, rats (n=6-8) received iv either lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 5mg/kg) or saline (CTRL). After 1 h, fluid resuscitation (FR,15mL/kg of colloid, iv) was associated or not with HBP substrate: glucosamine (GlcN,…

Comparison of two delayed strategies for renal replacement therapy initiation for severe acute kidney injury (AKIKI 2): a multicentre, open-label, ra…

2021

International audience; BACKGROUND: Delaying renal replacement therapy (RRT) for some time in critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury and no severe complication is safe and allows optimisation of the use of medical devices. Major uncertainty remains concerning the duration for which RRT can be postponed without risk. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that a more-delayed initiation strategy would result in more RRT-free days, compared with a delayed strategy. METHODS: This was an unmasked, multicentre, prospective, open-label, randomised, controlled trial done in 39 intensive care units in France. We monitored critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury (defined …
