Abstract

Background

No systematic investigations of interactions of postoperative infections and liver regeneration after resection are available.

Materials and methods

Male Sprague–Dawley rats underwent sham operation, 70% partial hepatectomy (PH), cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), or synchronous PH + CLP and were killed at regular intervals. Liver regeneration and function were measured by the mitotic index, Bromo-deoxy-uridine labeling, and Ki-67 as well as bilirubin, albumin, and indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate. The inflammatory response was evaluated by determination of IL-1β and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Bacterial concentrations in different organs were quantified.

Results

Simultaneous CLP + PH resulted in a significantly delayed regeneration kinetic, which was most pronounced at 24 h. This was preceded by hyperinflammation with increased liberation of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the PH + CLP group at 6 h. After 48 h, the pro-inflammatory response declined, and regeneration proceeded also in the PH + CLP group. Liver function was found impaired in both groups; however, it was significantly worse in the PH + CLP group. Especially after 48 h, when regeneration peaked in this group, liver function significantly declined. At 96 h, only minor differences were seen, but the persistently elevated proliferative activity indicated the delay of regeneration after PH + CLP.

Conclusion

The present analysis shows that infectious conditions delay liver regeneration. Our data suggest a cross-linkage of both conditions via the functional liver capacity. A direct role of microorganisms seems unlikely; however, the inhibitory effect of the pro-inflammatory cytokines may be involved.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
