Outline of Final Research Achievements

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is known to cause systemic inflammatory reaction following cardiac surgery that can be associated with organ failure. In a standard “open”circuit system, blood makes contact to the air in the reservoir, which can trigger inflammatory response induced by oxidant stress. In the first series, we performed a randomized controlled study to compare the outcomes of heart valve surgery between open and closed circuit system (open circuit group, n=11, closed circuit group, n=10). There were no differences in the primary endpoints (open vs. closed, length of mechanical ventilation; 9.4 hours vs. 14.0 hours, P=0.21, length of ICU stay; 2.3 days vs. 2.4 days, P=0.87). In the second series, we conducted gene expression profiling of monocytes purified from post-CPB blood using DNA-microarray. Of note, multi-inflammatory mediators, including cytokins and chemokines related to neutrophil recruitment, were down-expressed in the closed circuit monocytes.
