Serum kynurenic acid is associated with poor outcomes after infant cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), but comprehensive mapping of the kynurenine pathway (KP) after CPB has yet to be performed.
To map changes in the KP induced by infant CPB.
Compared changes in serum KP metabolites through 48hrs post-op with liquid-chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
Infant CPB results in marked increase in proximal, but not distal metabolites of the KP.
Infant CPB leads to accumulation of circulating KP metabolites, which have important neurologic and immunologic activities. Thus, further exploration of the KP is warranted in these high-risk infants.
血清犬尿氨酸酸与婴儿体外循环(CPB)后的不良预后相关,但 CPB 后犬尿氨酸途径(KP)的综合图谱尚未完成。
绘制婴儿 CPB 诱导的 KP 变化图谱。
通过液相色谱-串联质谱法比较术后 48 小时内血清 KP 代谢物的变化。
婴儿 CPB 导致 KP 的近端代谢物而非远端代谢物明显增加。
婴儿 CPB 导致循环 KP 代谢物的积累,这些代谢物具有重要的神经和免疫活性。因此,在这些高危婴儿中进一步探索 KP 是有必要的。
