Different Proinflammatory Cytokine Serum Pattern in Neonate Patients Undergoing Open Heart Surgery. Relevance of IL-8

Abstract: The purpose of this work was to investigate the clinical significance of serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines in pediatric patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. We divided the patients in two groups: 8 neonates, and 19 non-newborn children. IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF serum levels were quantified before sternotomy, at admission to the PICU (30 min postoperatively), 24 h after the onset of surgery and 3 days after the operation. Surgical cardiac stress elicits significant increments of IL-6, IL-8 a… Show more

“…There would likely be an IL-8 concentration gradient between blood and inflamed local tissue, so neutrophils could be chemo-attracted to inflammatory sites. In contrast, surgical cardiac stress elicits an increase in IL-8 serum concentration (Alcaraz et al, 2005). In conclusion, BAND, BURD, and CORT did not induce leukocytosis, whereas BURD induced a modest neutrophilia; neutrophil functioning in terms of phagocytosis and respiratory burst and serum IL-8 concentration were not compromised by BAND, BURD, or CORT.…”

“…al. 6 investigated 8 neonates and 19 infants undergoing CPB and demonstrated significant increases in IL-6, IL-8 and TNF in both groups postoperatively. The magnitude of the inflammatory response was greater in the neonates, particularly for IL-8.…”

“…The SIRS is further exacerbated in neonates due to morbidity factors of smaller patient size, greater hemodilution, hypothermia, and longer CPB times, resulting in a postoperative recovery period that is longer and more complex than similar operations performed in older infants and children. 4-6 …”

“…Neonatal CPB is associated with increased plasma concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which have been shown to correlate with deleterious clinical outcomes [1718]. Patients with low IgG had increased plasma concentrations of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-8 and IL-12, hypoalbuminemia, and increased fluid overload consistent with SIRS [19].…”
