Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between bacteriological findings and wound healing after minor amputation in the treatment of chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) with infection. Methods: This single-center retrospective study analyzed 135 consecutive limbs with tissue loss and infection from 120 patients who underwent endovascular therapy (EVT) and minor forefoot amputation for CLTI with wound infection between November 2017 and August 2021. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to assess the rate of wound healing after the procedure. The Cox proportional-hazards model was used to examine the impact of bacteriological findings and baseline characteristics on wound healing. Results: The wound healing rate at 6 months was 72.6%. In a multivariate analysis, in addition to hemodialysis (hazard ratio [HR]=1.73; p=0.009) and amputation above the metatarsophalangeal (MP) joint (HR=1.81; p=0.006), antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infection (HR=1.80, p=0.004) and polymicrobial infection (H=1.51; p=0.049) were predictors of delayed wound healing. Conclusion: Antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infection, polymicrobial infection, hemodialysis, and amputation above the MP joint were independent predictors of delayed wound healing after EVT and minor forefoot amputation in patients with CLTI and bacterial wound infection. Clinical Impact: In this single-center retrospective study, we analyzed 136 consecutive limbs with tissue loss and infection from 120 patients who underwent endovascular therapy and minor forefoot amputation for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) with wound infection between November 2017 and August 2021. Our main findings were that antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infection, polymicrobial infection, hemodialysis, and amputation above the metatarsophalangeal joint were independent predictors of delayed wound healing after minor amputation. This is the first report of the association between bacteriological studies and wound healing in CLTI with infection, and will be of great help in the future clinical practice.

Abstract

Purpose: To directly compare the clinical outcomes of aortobifemoral bypass surgery (ABF) and endovascular treatment (EVT) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the infrarenal abdominal aorta (IAA). Materials and Methods: In this retrospective, multicenter study, we used an international database of 436 patients who underwent revascularization for CTO of the IAA between 2007 and 2017 at 30 Asian cardiovascular centers. After excluding 52 patients who underwent axillobifemoral bypass surgery, 384 patients (139 ABFs and 245 EVTs) were included in the analysis. Propensity score-matched analysis was performed to compare clinical results in the periprocedural period and the long-term. Results: Propensity score matching extracted 88 pairs. Procedure time (ABF; 288 [240–345] minutes vs EVT; 159 [100–205] minutes, p<0.001) and length of hospital stay (17 [12–23] days vs 5 [4–13] days, p<0.001) were significantly shorter in the EVT group than in the ABF group, while the proportions of procedural success (98.9% versus 96.6%, p=0.620), complications (9.1% versus 12.3%, p=0.550), and mortality (2.3% versus 3.8%, p=1.000) were not different between the groups. At 1 months, ABI significantly increased more in the ABF group for both in a limb with the lower (0.56 versus 0.50, p=0.018) and the higher (0.49 versus 0.34, p=0.001) baseline ABI, while the change of the Rutherford category was not significantly different between the groups (p=0.590). At 5 years, compared with the EVT group, the ABF group had significantly better primary patency (89.4±4.3% versus 74.8±4.3%, p=0.035) and survival rates (86.9±4.5% versus 66.2±7.5%, p=0.007). However, there was no significant difference between the groups for secondary patency (100.0%±0.0% versus 93.5%±3.9%, p=0.160) and freedom from target lesion revascularization (TLR) (89.3±4.3% vs 77.3±7.3%, p=0.096). Conclusion: Even with recent advancements in EVT, primary patency was still significantly better for ABF in CTO of the IAA. However, there was no difference between the groups in terms of secondary patency and freedom from TLR at 5 years. Furthermore, there was no difference in procedural success, complications, mortality, and improvement in the Rutherford classification during the periprocedural period, with significantly shorter procedure time and hospital stay in the EVT group.

Abstract

Brewing yeasts have an essential role in beer production as they convert sugar into ethanol and carbon dioxide and impart flavor to beer during brewing. Brewing yeasts can be classified into the following two types: ale yeast (or top-fermenting yeast; Saccharomyces cerevisiae), which is used for ale-type beer production; lager yeast (or bottom-fermenting yeast; Saccharomyces pastorianus), which is used for lager-type beer production. Globally, approximately 90% of beer is produced using lager yeast. The entire genomes of S. cerevisiae S288C and S. pastorianus Weihenstephan 34/70 were sequenced in 1996 and 2009, respectively. Saccharomyces eubayanus, a parent strain of the lager yeast, was discovered in 2011. These advances have markedly contributed to the studies on brewing characteristics and brewing yeast genes and the rapid development of the field of yeast genetics. To contribute to the development of the beer industry, this review summarizes the genetics of brewer's yeast with a special focus on its genomic structure and the genes involved in brewing characteristics.

Abstract

Objective: Unusual setting of medical care Background: Subacute lower limb ischemia occurs more than 14 days and less than 3 months from symptom onset. Although endovascular procedures are the preferred treatment choice for a viable and not immediately threatened limb in patients with acute lower limb ischemia (<14 days), percutaneous catheter-directed thrombolysis, percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy, or percutaneous thromboaspiration are not recommended, and no treatment strategy has yet been established for nonacute lower limb ischemia (>14 days). A percutaneous Fogarty thrombectomy, an endovascular thrombus removal procedure with the use of a large-caliber sheath and a Fogarty balloon catheter, has recently been reported as a less invasive alternative to open surgery in patients with acute lower limb ischemia. In this report, we use this technique for a case of subacute lower limb ischemia caused by a resistant thrombus. Case Report: A 73-year-old man with a diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia presented with symptoms of right lower limb ischemia, which started about a month before. The diagnosis was subacute lower limb ischemia due to a resistant thrombus in the popliteal artery. First, we attempted percutaneous thromboaspiration and prolonged dilation with a large-caliber balloon catheter, but there were still severe residual stenoses with delayed blood flow. Although vascular scaffold implantation might have achieved complete revascularization, we avoided it because of a high probability of stent fracture in the popliteal artery. Thus, we performed a subsequent percutaneous Fogarty thrombectomy immediately after the conventional endovascular recanalization failed, achieving complete revascularization and next-day discharge without any complications. Conclusions: A percutaneous Fogarty thrombectomy could be a new treatment option for subacute lower limb ischemia due to a resistant thrombus, which can be performed immediately after failure of the conventional endovascular recanalization.
