    (2018) DIAS, Olivia Meira; BALDI, Bruno Guedes; PENNATI, Francesca; ALIVERTI, Andrea; CHATE, Rodrigo Caruso; SAWAMURA, Marcio Valente Yamada; CARVALHO, Carlos Roberto Ribeiro de; ALBUQUERQUE, Andre Luis Pereira de
    Introduction: Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is a disease with variable clinical presentation in which inflammation in the lung parenchyma is caused by the inhalation of specific organic antigens or low molecular weight substances in genetically susceptible individuals. Alterations of the acute, subacute and chronic forms may eventually overlap, and the diagnosis based on temporality and presence of fibrosis (acute/inflammatory HP vs. chronic HP) seems to be more feasible and useful in clinical practice. Differential diagnosis of chronic HP with other interstitial fibrotic diseases is challenging due to the overlap of the clinical history, and the functional and imaging findings of these pathologies in the terminal stages.Areas covered: This article reviews the essential features of HP with emphasis on imaging features. Moreover, the main methodological limitations of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) interpretation are discussed, as well as new perspectives with volumetric quantitative CT analysis as a useful tool for retrieving detailed and accurate information from the lung parenchyma.Expert commentary: Mosaic attenuation is a prominent feature of this disease, but air trapping in chronic HP seems overestimated. Quantitative analysis has the potential to estimate the involvement of the pulmonary parenchyma more accurately and could correlate better with pulmonary function results.

    Short-term effects of stored homologous red blood cell transfusion on cardiorespiratory function and inflammation: an experimental study in a hypovolemia model
    (2018) BIAGINI, S.; DALE, C. S.; REAL, J. M.; MOREIRA, E. S.; CARVALHO, C. R. R.; SCHETTINO, G. P. P.; WENDEL, S.; AZEVEDO, L. C. P.
    The pathophysiological mechanisms associated with the effects of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on cardiopulmonary function and inflammation are unclear. We developed an experimental model of homologous 14-days stored RBC transfusion in hypovolemic swine to evaluate the short-term effects of transfusion on cardiopulmonary system and inflammation. Sixteen healthy male anesthetized swine (68 +/- 3.3 kg) were submitted to controlled hemorrhage (25% of blood volume). Two units of non-filtered RBC from each animal were stored under blood bank conditions for 14 days. After 30 min of hypovolemia, the control group (n=8) received an infusion of lactated Ringer's solution (three times the removed volume). The transfusion group (n=8) received two units of homologous 14-days stored RBC and lactated Ringer's solution in a volume that was three times the difference between blood removed and blood transfusion infused. Both groups were followed up for 6 h after resuscitation with collection of hemodynamic and respiratory data. Cytokines and RNA expression were measured in plasma and lung tissue. Stored RBC transfusion significantly increased mixed oxygen venous saturation and arterial oxygen content. Transfusion was not associated with alterations on pulmonary function. Pulmonary concentrations of cytokines were not different between groups. Gene expression for lung cytokines demonstrated a 2-fold increase in mRNA level for inducible nitric oxide synthase and a 0.5-fold decrease in mRNA content for IL-21 in the transfused group. Thus, stored homologous RBC transfusion in a hypovolemia model improved cardiovascular parameters but did not induce significant effects on microcirculation, pulmonary inflammation and respiratory function up to 6 h after transfusion.

    Driving pressure and long-term outcomes in moderate/severe acute respiratory distress syndrome
    (2018) TOUFEN JUNIOR, Carlos; SANTIAGO, Roberta R. De Santis; HIROTA, Adriana S.; CARVALHO, Alysson Roncally S.; GOMES, Susimeire; AMATO, Marcelo Brito Passos; CARVALHO, Carlos Roberto Ribeiro
    BackgroundAcute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients may present impaired in lung function and structure after hospital discharge that may be related to mechanical ventilation strategy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between functional and structural lung impairment, N-terminal-peptide type III procollagen (NT-PCP-III) and driving pressure during protective mechanical ventilation. It was a secondary analysis of data from randomized controlled trial that included patients with moderate/severe ARDS with at least one follow-up visit performed. We obtained serial measurements of plasma NT-PCP-III levels. Whole-lung computed tomography analysis and pulmonary function test were performed at 1 and 6months of follow-up. A health-related quality of life survey after 6months was also performed.ResultsThirty-three patients were enrolled, and 21 patients survived after 6months. In extubation day an association between driving pressure and NT-PCP-III was observed. At 1 and 6months forced vital capacity (FVC) was negatively correlated to driving pressure (p<0.01). At 6months driving pressure was associated with lower FVC independently on tidal volume, plateau pressure and baseline static respiratory compliance after adjustments (r(2)=0.51, p=0.02). There was a significant correlation between driving pressure and lung densities and nonaerated/poorly aerated lung volume after 6months. Driving pressure was also related to general health domain of SF-36 at 6months.ConclusionEven in patients ventilated with protective tidal volume, higher driving pressure is associated with worse long-term pulmonary function and structure.

    Accuracy of Invasive and Noninvasive Parameters for Diagnosing Ventilatory Overassistance During Pressure Support Ventilation*
    (2018) PLETSCH-ASSUNCAO, Renata; PEREIRA, Mayra Caleffi; FERREIRA, Jeferson George; CARDENAS, Leticia Zumpano; ALBUQUERQUE, Andre Luis Pereira de; CARVALHO, Carlos Roberto Ribeiro de; CARUSO, Pedro
    Objective: Evaluate the accuracy of criteria for diagnosing pressure overassistance during pressure support ventilation. Design: Prospective clinical study. Setting: Medical-surgical ICU. Patients: Adults under mechanical ventilation for 48 hours or more using pressure support ventilation and without any sedative for 6 hours or more. Overassistance was defined as the occurrence of work of breathing less than 0.3 J/L or 10% or more of ineffective inspiratory effort. Two alternative overassistance definitions were based on the occurrence of inspiratory esophageal pressure-time product of less than 50 cm H2O s/min or esophageal occlusion pressure of less than 1.5 cm H2O. Interventions: The pressure support was set to 20 cm H2O and decreased in 3-cm H2O steps down to 2 cm H2O. Measurements and Main Results: The following parameters were evaluated to diagnose overassistance: respiratory rate, tidal volume, minute ventilation, peripheral arterial oxygen saturation, rapid shallow breathing index, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, change in esophageal pressure during inspiration, and esophageal and airway occlusion pressure. In all definitions, the respiratory rate had the greatest accuracy for diagnosing overassistance (receiver operating characteristic area = 0.92; 0.91 and 0.76 for work of breathing, pressure-time product and esophageal occlusion pressure in definition, respectively) and always with a cutoff of 17 incursions per minute. In all definitions, a respiratory rate of less than or equal to 12 confirmed overassistance (100% specificity), whereas a respiratory rate of greater than or equal to 30 excluded overassistance (100% sensitivity). Conclusion: A respiratory rate of 17 breaths/min is the parameter with the greatest accuracy for diagnosing overassistance. Respiratory rates of less than or equal to 12 or greater than or equal to 30 are useful clinical references to confirm or exclude pressure support overassistance.

    Immunohistological features related to functional impairment in lymphangioleiomyomatosis
    (2018) NASCIMENTO, Ellen Caroline Toledo do; BALDI, Bruno Guedes; MARIANI, Alessandro Wasum; ANNONI, Raquel; KAIRALLA, Ronaldo Adib; PIMENTA, Suzana Pinheiro; SILVA, Luiz Fernando Ferraz da; CARVALHO, Carlos Roberto Ribeiro; DOLHNIKOFF, Marisa
    Background: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a low-grade neoplasm characterized by the pulmonary infiltration of smooth muscle-like cells (LAM cells) and cystic destruction. Patients usually present with airway obstruction in pulmonary function tests (PFTs). Previous studies have shown correlations among histological parameters, lung function abnormalities and prognosis in LAM. We investigated the lung tissue expression of proteins related to the mTOR pathway, angiogenesis and enzymatic activity and its correlation with functional parameters in LAM patients. Methods: We analyzed morphological and functional parameters of thirty-three patients. Two groups of disease severity were identified according to FEV1 values. Lung tissue from open biopsies or lung transplants was immunostained for SMA, HMB-45, mTOR, VEGF-D, MMP-9 and D2-40. Density of cysts, density of nodules and protein expression were measured by image analysis and correlated with PFT parameters. Results: There was no difference in the expression of D2-40 between the more severe and the less severe groups. All other immunohistological parameters showed significantly higher values in the more severe group (p <= 0.002). The expression of VEGF-D, MMP-9 and mTOR in LAM cells was associated with the density of both cysts and nodules. The density of cysts and nodules as well as the expression of MMP-9 and VEGF-D were associated with the impairment of PFT parameters. Conclusions: Severe LAM represents an active phase of the disease with high expression of VEGF-D, mTOR, and MMP-9, as well as LAM cell infiltration. Our findings suggest that the tissue expression levels of VEGF-D and MMP-9 are important parameters associated with the loss of pulmonary function and could be considered as potential severity markers in open lung biopsies of LAM patients.
