Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate whether large volume acute normovolemic hemodilution (L-ANH), compared with moderate acute normovolemic hemodilution (M-ANH), can reduce perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion in patients with intermediate-high risk of transfusion during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). DESIGN Prospective randomized controlled trial. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Patients with transfusion risk understanding scoring tool ("TRUST") ≥2 points undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University from May 2020 to January 2021 were included. INTERVENTIONS The patients were randomly assigned with a 1:1 ratio to M-ANH (5 to 8 mL/kg) or L-ANH (12 to 15 mL/kg). MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion units. The composite outcome included new-onset atrial fibrillation, pulmonary infection, cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) class ≥2, surgical incision infection, postoperative excessive bleeding, and resternotomy. MAIN RESULTS Total 159 patients were screened and 110 (55 L-ANH and 55 M-ANH) were included for final analysis. Removed blood volume of L-ANH is significantly higher than M-ANH (886 ± 152 vs. 395 ± 86 mL, P < 0.001). Perioperative RBC transfusion was median 0 unit ([25th, 75th] percentiles: 0-4.4) in M-ANH group vs. 0 unit ([25th, 75th] percentiles: 0-2.0) in L-ANH group (P = 0.012) and L-ANH was associated with lower incidence of transfusion (23.6% vs. 41.8%, P = 0.042, rate difference: 0.182, 95% confidence interval [0.007-0.343]). The incidence of postoperative excessive bleeding was significantly lower in L-ANH vs. M-ANH (3.6% vs. 18.2%, P = 0.029, rate difference: 0.146, 95% confidence interval [0.027-0.270]) without significant difference for other second outcomes. The volume of ANH was inversely related to perioperative RBC transfusion units (Spearman r = -0.483, 95% confidence interval [-0.708 to -0.168], P = 0.003), and L-ANH in cardiac surgery was associated with a significantly reduced risk of perioperative RBC transfusion (odds ratio: 0.43, 95% confidence interval: 0.19-0.98, P = 0.044). CONCLUSIONS Compared with M-ANH, L-ANH during cardiac surgery inclined to be associated with reduced perioperative RBC transfusion and the volume of RBC transfusion was inversely proportional to the volume of ANH. In addition, LANH during cardiac surgery was associated with a lower incidence of postoperative excessive bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The blood saving efficacy of TXA in cardiac surgery has been proved in several studies, but TXA dosing regimens were varied in those studies. Therefore, we performed this study to investigate if there is a dose dependent in-vivo effect of TXA on fibrinolysis parameters by measurement of fibrinolysis markers in adults undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB. METHODS A double-blind, randomized, controlled prospective trial was conducted from February 11, 2017 to May 05, 2017. Thirty patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery were identified and randomly divided into a placebo group, low-dose group and high-dose group by 1: 1: 1. Fibrinolysis parameters were measured by plasma levels of D-Dimers, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI), plasmin-antiplasmin complex (PAP), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and thrombomodulin (TM). Those proteins were measured at five different sample times: preoperatively before the TXA injection (T(1)), 5 min after the TXA bolus (T(2)), 5 min after the initiation of CPB (T(3)), 5 min before the end of CPB (T(4)) and 5 min after the protamine administration (T(5)). A Thrombelastography (TEG) and standard coagulation test were also performed. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the level of the D-Dimers decreased in the low-dose and high-dose groups when the patients arrived at the ICU and on the first postoperative morning. Over time, the concentrations of PAI-1, TAFI, and TM, but not PAP and tPA, showed significant differences between the three groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the placebo group, the plasma concentrations of PAI-1 and TAFI decreased significantly at the T3 and T4 (P < 0.05); TAFI concentrations also decreased at the T5 in low-dose group (P < 0.05). Compared with the low-dose group, the concentration of TM increased significantly at the T4 in high-dose group. CONCLUSIONS The in-vivo effect of low dose TXA is equivalent to high dose TXA on fibrinolysis parameters in adults with a low bleeding risk undergoing valvular cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, and a low dose TXA regimen might be equivalent to high dose TXA for those patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic blood transfusion-induced immunomodulation (TRIM) and its adverse effect on the prognosis of patients treated surgically for cancer remain complex and controversial. However, the potential risk associated with allogeneic blood transfusion has heightened interest in the use of autologous blood transfusion. In the present study, the serum concentrations of neopterin, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), T lymphocyte subsets (CD3(+), CD4(+), CD8(+), CD4(+)/CD8(+)) and a possible association between these variables were investigated. The purpose was to further evaluate the effect of autologous versus allogeneic blood transfusion on immunological status in patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer. METHODS Sixty ASA I-II (American Society of Anesthesiologists) patients undergoing elective radical resection for stomach cancer were randomly allocated to receive either allogeneic blood transfusion (n=30) or autologous blood transfusion (n=30). Serum concentrations of the neopterin, IFN-gamma and T lymphocyte subsets in the recipients were measured before induction of anesthesia, after operation, and on the 5th postoperative day. RESULTS Both two groups, serum neopterin, IFN-gamma, percentages of T-cell subsets (CD3(+), CD4(+)), and CD4(+)/CD8(+) ratio had significantly decreased after operation, but decreased more significantly in group H (receiving allogeneic blood transfusion) than those in group A (receiving autologous whole blood transfusion) (P<0. 05). On the 5th postoperative day, serum neopterin, IFN-gamma, CD3(+), CD4(+) T-cells, and CD4(+)/CD8(+) ratio returned to the baseline values in group A. In contrast, the above remain decreasing in group H, where there were no significant relations between serum neopterin and IFN-gamma. CONCLUSION Perioperative surgical trauma and stress have an immunosuppressive impact on gastric cancer patients. Allogeneic blood transfusion exacerbates the impaired immune response. Autologous blood transfusion might be significantly beneficial for immune-compromised patients in the perioperative period, clearly showing its superiority over allogeneic blood transfusion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the impact of autologous transfusion on the status of perioperative immune activation in malignant tumor patients. The Serum Neopterin and Interleukin-2 (IL-2) were measured. METHODS Sixty patients undergoing elective radical resection for malignant stomach tumor were enrolled in the prospective study and assigned to the following groups: (1) Group A received autologous transfusion. (2) Group H received allogeneic transfusion. The perioperative course (Before induction of anesthesia, after operation and 5 d after operation) of Neopterin and IL-2 was compared. RESULTS In group A, Serum Neopterin was significantly lower than baseline after operation and IL-2 had no significant changes. In group H, both Serum Neopterin and IL-2 were significantly lower than baseline after operation and 5 d after operation. Compared with group A, Serum Neopterin was significantly lower than baseline after operation and 5 d after operation and IL-2 was significantly lower than baseline 5 d after operation. CONCLUSION Autologous transfusion decreased the perioperative immune suppression in malignant stomach tumor patients.
