Description:
Hepcidin, a key regulator of iron metabolism, plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of anemia of chronic disease. Although it is produced mainly in the liver, its recently described expression in adipose tissue has been shown to be enhanced in massive obesity due to chronic low-grade inflammation. Our objective was to study the changes in hepcidin expression in adipose tissue during acute-phase reaction. We measured hepcidin mRNA expression from isolated subcutaneous and epicardial adipose tissue at the beginning and at the end of the surgery. The expression of mRNAs for hepcidin and other iron-related genes (transferrin receptor 1, divalent metal transporter 1, ferritin, ferroportin) were measured by real-time RT-PCR. Hepcidin expression significantly increased at the end of the surgery in subcutaneous but not in epicardial adipose tissue. Apart from the increased levels of cytokines, the parameters of iron metabolism showed typical inflammation-induced changes. We suggest that acute inflammatory changes could affect the regulation of hepcidin expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue and thus possibly contribute to inflammation-induced systemic changes of iron metabolism., M.

Description:
Hepcidin is a key regulator of iron metabolism and a mediator of anemia in inflammation. Recent in vitro studies recognized prohepcidin as a type II acute phase protein regulating via interleukin-6. The aim of the present study was to investigate the time course of plasma prohepcidin after a large cardiac surgery in relation to IL-6 and other inflam matory parameters. Patients with chronic thromboembolic hypertension (n=22, males/females 14/8, age 51.9±10.2 years) underwent pulmonary endarterectomy using cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest were included into study. Arterial concentrations of prohepcidin, IL-1β , IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-α , and C-reactive protein were measured before/after sternotomy, after circulatory arrest, after separation from bypass, and then 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 h and 72 h after the separation from bypass. Hemodynamic parameters, hematocrit and markers of iron metabolism were followed up. Pulmonary endarterectomy induced a 48 % fall in plasma prohepcidin; minimal concentrations were detected after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass. Prohepcidin decline correlated with an extracorporeal circulation time (p<0.01), while elevated IL-6 levels were inversely associated with duration of prohepcidin decline. Postoperative prohepcidin did not correlate with markers of iron metabolism or hemoglobin concentrations within a 72-h period after separation from CPB. Prohepcidin showed itself as a negative acute phase reactant during systemic inflammatory response syndrome associated with a cardiac surgery. Results indicate that the evolution of prohepcidin in postoperative period implies the antagonism of stimulatory effect of IL-6 and contraregulatory factors inhibiting prohepcidin synthesis or increasing prohepcidin clearance., P.

Description:
Our aim was to analyze the correlation of early postoperative cortisol levels in patients after transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma surgery compared to the standard dose ACTH test and Insulin tolerance test (ITT) several months later. We retrospectively reviewed data from 94 patients operated for pituitary adenoma in years 2009-2012. The comparison of day 7 (median) postoperative basal cortisol levels and 3.6 months (median) after pituitary adenoma surgery stimulation test - standard dose 250 μg 1-24ACTH test in 83 patients or ITT in 11 patients were performed. All 16 patients with early postoperative cortisol levels >500 nmol/l proved a sufficient response in the stimulation tests. At basal cortisol levels of 370-500 nmol/l the sufficient response was found in 96 % (27/28) of patients. In the postoperative basal cortisol levels 200-370 nmol/l we found a preserved corticotroph axis later on in 88 % (28/32) of cases. Patients with basal cortisol levels 100-200 nmol/l had a maintained corticotroph axis function in 8/11 cases - 73 %. All patients with an early postoperative basal cortisol level above 500 nmol/l proved in the stimulation tests a preserved corticotroph axis function. The interval 370-500 nmol/l showed a minimal risk of postoperative adrenal insufficiency., V. Hána Jr., J. Ježková, M. Kosák, M. Kršek, J. Marek, D. Netuka, M. Hil, V.
