Improved outcomes for index cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis following a dedicated emergency surgery and trauma service (ESAT).

Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) has shown to reduce length of stay and improve patients’ satisfaction as compared to delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC). However, logistics and manpower limitations often preclude ELC.A retrospective study was conducted in a single institute to compare outcomes of AC before (August 2013-2014) and after (August 2017-2018) establishment of emergency surgery and trauma (ESAT).There were 82 patients in pre-ESAT period and 172 patients in ESAT period. Mean age was 52.3 ± 11.6 and 55.7 ± 13.8 years, respectively, p = 0.369. There were more patients with moderate-severe grading of cholecystitis based on Tokyo Guidelines (TG 18) in ESAT 143/172 (83.1%) as compared to pre-ESAT 65/82 (79.3%), p = 0.042. Index cholecystectomy was performed in 145/172 (84.3%) of patients in the ESAT vs 34/82 (41.5%) of patients in the pre-ESAT period (p = 0.001). Time interval between booking to surgery was 180 ± 56 min in ESAT vs 197 ± 98 min in pre-ESAT, p = 0.014. Operative duration was shorter in ESAT 121 ± 38.5 min vs 139 ± 53.4, in pre-ESAT period, p = 0.030. Conversion rates were lower in ESAT (4/172, 2.3%) vs (9/72, 11%) in pre-ESAT, p = 0.003. Length of stay was shorter in ESAT (DLC 1.89 ± 1.6 and ELC ± 2.9 days) as compared to pre-ESAT (DLC 4.55 ± 2.2 and ELC 5.03 ± 2.6 days), p = 0.001. 30-day readmissions were lower in ESAT (3/172, 1.7%) vs pre-ESAT (8/72, 9.8%).The ESAT model provided more early laparoscopic cholecystectomies with improved efficiency and clinical outcomes.

EspM Is a Conserved Transcription Factor That Regulates Gene Expression in Response to the ESX-1 System.
Journal: mBio
Februar/5/2020
Pathogenic mycobacteria encounter multiple environments during macrophage infection. Temporally, the bacteria are engulfed into the phagosome, lyse the phagosomal membrane, and interact with the cytosol before spreading to another cell. Virulence factors secreted by the mycobacterial ESX-1 (ESAT-6-system-1) secretion system mediate the essential transition from the phagosome to the cytosol. It was recently discovered that the ESX-1 system also regulates mycobacterial gene expression in Mycobacterium marinum (R. E. Bosserman, T. T. Nguyen, K. G. Sanchez, A. E. Chirakos, et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 114:E10772-E10781, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1710167114), a nontuberculous mycobacterial pathogen, and in the human-pathogenic species M. tuberculosis (A. M. Abdallah, E. M. Weerdenburg, Q. Guan, R. Ummels, et al., PLoS One 14:e0211003, 2019, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0211003). It is not known how the ESX-1 system regulates gene expression. Here, we identify the first transcription factor required for the ESX-1-dependent transcriptional response in pathogenic mycobacteria. We demonstrate that the gene divergently transcribed from the whiB6 gene and adjacent to the ESX-1 locus in mycobacterial pathogens encodes a conserved transcription factor (MMAR_5438, Rv3863, now espM). We prove that EspM from both M. marinum and M. tuberculosis directly and specifically binds the whiB6-espM intergenic region. We show that EspM is required for ESX-1-dependent repression of whiB6 expression and for the regulation of ESX-1-associated gene expression. Finally, we demonstrate that EspM functions to fine-tune ESX-1 activity in M. marinum Taking the data together, this report extends the esx-1 locus, defines a conserved regulator of the ESX-1 virulence pathway, and begins to elucidate how the ESX-1 system regulates gene expression.IMPORTANCE Mycobacterial pathogens use the ESX-1 system to transport protein substrates that mediate essential interactions with the host during infection. We previously demonstrated that in addition to transporting proteins, the ESX-1 secretion system regulates gene expression. Here, we identify a conserved transcription factor that regulates gene expression in response to the ESX-1 system. We demonstrate that this transcription factor is functionally conserved in M. marinum, a pathogen of ectothermic animals; M. tuberculosis, the human-pathogenic species that causes tuberculosis; and M. smegmatis, a nonpathogenic mycobacterial species. These findings provide the first mechanistic insight into how the ESX-1 system elicits a transcriptional response, a function of this protein transport system that was previously unknown.
