Deane 202 The metabolic and nutritional response to critical illness 956 Linda-Jayne Mottram and Gavin G. Lavery CHAPTER 201 Normal physiology of nutrition Annika Reintam Blaser and Adam M. Deane Key points ◆ Ingested carbohydrate, glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis are essential for function of brain and anaerobic tissues that depend on glucose as their main energy source ◆ Fat is the most energy-rich nutrient, but most of ingested lipids will be stored in adipose tissue because the oxidative capacity for lipids is low ◆ During periods of inadequate energy delivery, ingested or endogenous proteins are diverted into glucose metabolism, and this provides a rationale to deliver more protein during these periods ◆ Basic metabolic rate (BMR) is the largest component of total daily energy requirements, even in the case of very high physical activity or acute illness ◆ Daily energy requirements range from 1800 to 2800 kcal/ day or 25 to 30 kcal/kg body weight (BW)/day roughly— carbohydrates should provide 55–60%, lipids 25–30%, and proteins 10–15% Body composition Water (approximately 60% in adult males and 50% in females [1]), protein, minerals, and fat are the main components of human body Essential fat is contained in bone marrow, the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys, intestines, muscles, and central nervous system Fat located in adipose tissue is called storage fat The two-component model distinguishes between fat and fat-free mass (FFM), while the three-component model further divides FFM into body cell mass and extracellular mass [2] Lean body mass is an indirect estimation of the weight of bones, muscles, ligaments, and internal organs, which can be calculated using various equations [3] Direct methods of assessing body composition, such as skinfolds, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and hydrostatic weighing are not routinely used in the critically ill While being underweight is associated with poorer outcomes in the critically ill, obesity does not appear to be harmful (and may be beneficial) [4] Estimation of the ideal body weight [5]is often inaccurate, but the range may be useful and can be calculated (Broca’s index): (Height (cm) − 100) ± 15% for women or 10% for men [eqn 1] Clinical examination and laboratory tests General clinical examination of skin, hair, eyes, gums, tongue, bones, muscles, and thyroid gland tends only to reveal signs in cases of marked malnutrition or vitamin/mineral deficiencies Laboratory tests such as blood haemoglobin, total lymphocyte count, glucose, serum albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, total protein measurements, and calculation of nitrogen balance have limitations, but have been used Nitrogen balance is considered the most dynamic nutritional indicator Essential nutrients: substrate and energy metabolism Essential nutrients are substances that are not synthesized (or are synthesized in too small amounts) within the body and must, therefore, be ingested or administered They include essential fatty acids, essential amino acids, vitamins, and dietary minerals Energy Energy is derived from three major categories of macronutrient— protein, carbohydrate, and lipids—and is released by breaking down carbon–carbon bonds created in plants via photosynthesis Energy requirements to maintain stable weight can be estimated, using calculations or measured using calorimetry Oxidative (burning for energy) and non-oxidative (storage, synthesis) substrate metabolism occur to a different extent according to the type of macronutrient and state of energy stores [2] Respiratory quotient (RQ) is used to describe oxidative substrate metabolism Estimation of nutritional status Carbohydrates Body mass index (BMI) = weight (kg)/height (m) and provides a rough estimation of nutritional status [2] A limitation of BMI is that the calculation does not distinguish between muscle and fat mass A BMI of 18.5–24.9 kg/m2 is considered ‘normal’ regardless of age or population [1] BMI has a U-shape relation to morbidity and mortality [2] In persons >60 years old being slightly heavier (BMI 26–27) is associated with the longer life expectancy [2] Carbohydrates are compounds comprised of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen Depending on the composition of these molecules, carbohydrates are divided into mono-, di-, oligo-, and polysaccharides While carbohydrates are non-essential nutrients, they comprise a substantial proportion of calories (4.1 kcal/g) in a normal diet [1] In plants, carbohydrate is stored as starch, whereas in animals it is stored as glycogen

source, glucose is oxidized to CO2 and water: C 6H12O6 + 6O2 + 32ADP + 32P − > CO2 + 6H2O ( + 32ATP + heat RQ = 6CO2 / 6O2 = 1.0 ) [eqn 2] At rest, the maximum oxidative capacity is approximately g glucose/ kg BW/day [2] If the glucose intake is greater non-oxidative metabolism occurs, resulting in glycogenesis (glycogen store is limited to 200–500 g; storing consumes about 6% of energy stored in glucose) and, after reaching the limit, in lipogenesis (storing costs 23% of energy) [6] As an isolated energy source blood glucose covers energy needs for about 30 minutes, whereas glycogen would last for approximately one day [2] Glycogen is stored in hydrated form, making it less energy-efficient, but easily available Hepatic or muscle glycogenolysis occurs rapidly in response to hypoglycaemia or anaerobic demands Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from non-hexose precursors (lactate, pyruvate, intermediates of the citric acid cycle, 18 of 20 amino acids and glycerol) [1] Leucin and lysine together with fatty acids are not gluconeogenic, but ketogenic Their breakdown-product is acetyl coenzyme A (CoA), which cannot generate pyruvate or oxalo-acetate Gluconeogenesis is essential for the brain and anaerobic tissues (blood cells, bone marrow, renal medulla) that depend on glucose as their main energy source [1], but is energy-expensive, consuming 24% of energy contained in amino acids (AA) [6] Lipids Lipids are hydrophobic compounds that are soluble in organic solvents such as acetone Lipids contain 9.4 kcal/g of energy and can be ingested as triglycerides, sterol esters or phospholipids [1] To generate energy, fatty acids are oxidized to CO2 and water C15H31COOH ( palmitic acid ) + 23O2 + 106ADP + 106P −> 16CO2 + 16H2O ( + 106ATP + heat RQ = 16CO2 /23O2 = 0.70 ) [eqn 3] In resting humans the oxidative capacity for lipids is 0.7 g/kg BW/ day [2] Greater amounts of ingested lipid will be stored as triglycerides in fat tissue Fat constitutes approximately 20% of body weight, and the standard triglyceride store has the capacity to cover the body’s energy requirements for about 2 months Ketone bodies are produced when accelerated oxidation of fatty acids leads to incomplete breakdown, producing acetyl CoA faster than the citric acid cycle can utilize it [1] Ketone bodies (acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone) may serve as an alternative energy resource, e.g during starvation up to 50% of brain energy demands might be met via ketone bodies [2] Protein Nitrogen differentiates protein from carbohydrates and fats The major source of endogenous protein is muscle, which is converted into energy via complex metabolic pathways When AA, either endogenous proteins or ingested, are metabolized to CO2 and water, 4.3 kcal/g of energy can be released [1] Protein metabolism in cells additionally results in the production of energy-containing metabolites (urea, ureic acid, and creatinine) The RQ for protein oxidation is 0.80–0.85 [1] Protein stores are about 14% of body weight, but only half of it is available as an energy source, lasting for 10 days approximately In health, protein catabolism contributes less than 5% of energy requirements, but this increases to 15% during starvation The body constantly breaks down proteins to AAs and synthesizes other proteins according to the current needs of the body (protein turnover) Nine out of 20 AAs are essential—the body cannot synthesize them at sufficient rates for long-term survival and they must be ingested to replace the proteins oxidized during daily turnover Excess protein is converted to glycogen or triacylglycerols [1] To maintain nitrogen balance in an average adult individual, ingestion of 0.6–0.8 g/kg BW/day of protein is needed [2] However, during periods of inadequate energy delivery greater amounts of protein are diverted into glucose metabolism and, in catabolic states, there is a marked increase in endogenous protein breakdown Accordingly, more protein either ingested or administered may be beneficial during these periods [7] 953 954 Section 7 nutrition: physiology Nitrogen (N) balance is the sum of protein degradation and protein synthesis, reflecting the changes in protein stores where: N Balance = N int ake − N losses, N intake = protein intake ( g/day ) /6.25, and N losses = urinary urea N ( UUN ) , g/day, determined from a 24-hour urine collection) + g miscellaneous other N losses from skin, mucosa and with faeces [eqn 4] N balance is used to estimate current protein requirements Positive or negative N balances indicate anabolic or catabolic states respectively As in patients with renal replacement therapy (RRT) measurement of UUN is not applicable; the total nitrogen appearance (TNA) is used to express nitrogen losses [8]: urea nitrogen loss + TNA in a patient with RRT = oss during RRT ( g ) AA nitrogen lo change in interdialytic blood urea + × nitrogen BUN g/L total body water L ( )( ) ( ) [eqn 5] Protein energy wasting [9]due to inadequate protein intake and high catabolism is thought to occur frequently in the critically ill While preventing or limiting protein deficiency in this group is often proposed as beneficial, it is not yet established that such an approach improves outcomes Other Other essential nutrients include inorganic elements like calcium, potassium, iodine, iron, trace elements (dietary minerals that are needed in very small quantities) and vitamins, which are necessary for normal functioning of the body The role, recommended daily allowances and signs of deficiency of these essential vitamins and minerals are presented in Table 201.1 Vitamins Vitamins are divided into water-soluble (B,C) and fat-soluble (A, D, E and K) groups Bonds between fat-soluble vitamins with proteins are broken by the acidity of gastric juice and proteolysis Assimilation of fat-soluble vitamins relies on lipid absorption and their deficiency occurs in various fat malabsorption states Thiamine (B1) with its phosphorylated derivatives plays a fundamental role in energy metabolism and is used in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters Its best-characterized derivate thiamine pyrophosphate is a coenzyme in the catabolism of sugars and amino acids Thiamine derivatives and thiamine-dependent enzymes are present in all cells of the body, but the nervous system and the heart are particularly sensitive to its deficiency Thiamine deficiency may occur because of concomitant chronic disease or alcoholism and can lead to severe neurological impairment and contribute to increased mortality [10] Vitamin K is pivotal for synthesis of coagulation factors VII, IX, X, protein C and protein S in liver, acting as a co-factor for carboxylation Its deficiency occurs with fat malabsorption, but also during severe bleeding (disseminated intravascular coagulation) Previous treatment with vitamin K antagonists, blocking carboxylation of prothrombin (factor II), factors VII, IX and X, and making their complexes with Ca2+ and therefore usage for coagulation impossible, is common in hospitalized patients Supplementation of vitamins E and C has been proposed as having beneficial antioxidant effects in the critically ill [11] This has yet to be established and particularly in patients with renal failure excessive vitamin C may lead to oxalosis Minerals Calcium is necessary for the structure (calcium phosphate in bones), signalling, and enzymatic processes (co-enzyme for clotting factors, pre-synaptic release of acetylcholine) in the body Magnesium is essential for energy in every cell type in organism, as ATP, the main source of energy in cells, must be bound to a magnesium ion in order to be biologically active Supplementation of minerals such as selenium and zinc has been described in the critically ill and warrants further study [12] Next to the essential nutrients food includes fibres and other ballast substances, carotinoides, bioflavonoids etc considered important for health, but their functions are clarified incompletely Energy consumption Estimation of energy consumption Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is an estimation of metabolism, measured under standardized conditions in the absence of stimulation Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is measured during less strict conditions and is therefore higher than BMR [1] BMR and RMR are measured by gas analysis through either direct (the body is positioned in a chamber to measure the body’s heat production) or indirect (CO2 production is measured) calorimetry [13] BMR can be estimated by a number of calculations of Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE) with Harris-Benedict equation being the most frequently used in critical care: Adult males: ( ) ) [eqn 6] ) ( ) BEE ( kcal/day ) = 13.8 × weight in kg ( + × height in cm − (6.8 x age ) + 66.5 Adult females: ( BEE ( kcal/day ) = 9.6 × weight in kg + 1.8 × height in cm − 4.7 × age + 655 [eqn 7] ( ) As body weight is the major factor that determines BEE, a simplified estimate of 25 kcal/kg BW/day is often used and our experience is that the latter approach is adequate for clinical purposes The BMR is the largest component of total daily energy requirements, even in case of very high physical activity, as well as in the most hypermetabolic patients The various estimations of stress/ activity factors available to calculate the total energy expenditure (TEnE = BEE × stress/activity factor) tend to overestimate the TEnE in ICU patients, as measured TEnE is often close to calculated BEE [6] Chapter 201

metabolic and nutritional response to critical illness Linda-Jayne Mottram and Gavin G. Lavery Key points ◆ The metabolic response to critical illness is biphasic, the acute stage being accompanied by increased hypothalamic pituitary function and peripheral resistance to effector hormones ◆ The acute phase has been considered adaptive, increasing the availability of glucose, free fatty acids, and amino acids as substrates for vital organs ◆ Prolonged critical illness results in damped hypothalamic responses that are implicated in the critical illness wasting syndrome ◆ Cytokines can stimulate the hypothalamic pituitary axis directly as part of the stress response in critical illness ◆ Gastrointestinal failure may in part be a neuroendocrine phenomenon, with disordered hormonal and enteric nervous system responses Introduction The metabolic response to critical illness is complex and affects every body system The response to acute critical illness differs from the response to more prolonged states These differences or the dynamic complexity of the neuroendocrine changes themselves, may explain the failure of pharmacological manipulation to date The gut response to critical illness is also an example of neuro endocrine derangement The interaction between body systems becomes apparent when gastrointestinal failure and inadequate nutrition combine to exacerbate the catabolic state Ultimately, the consequence is to lengthen the illness, prolong intensive care stay, and hamper the recovery process The somatotrophic axis Normal physiology Human growth hormone (GH) is produced in the somatotrophic cells of the anterior pituitary in response to hypoglycaemia, exercise, sleep, high protein intake, and acute stress This process is regulated by the stimulatory effect of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) from the hypothalamus and also by the hunger-stimulating hormone, ghrelin Inhibitory effects on GH release occur via somatostatin secretion from the hypothalamus GH acts directly on the tissues causing lipolysis, anti-insulin effects, sodium and water retention, and immunomodulation It also acts indirectly via hepatic production of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) to bring about protein synthesis and thus protect lean body mass Acute critical illness Serum GH levels are elevated overall and demonstrate increased pulsatility However, IGF-1 levels are lower and GH receptor expression is reduced, which together produce a state of peripheral GH resistance Energy-consuming anabolic processes are halted, permitting the release of amino acids for use as an energy substrate The direct effects of lipid breakdown and antagonism of insulin are permitted, which again favourably releases energy reserves in the acute phase of critical illness [1] Prolonged critical illness Levels of GH are reduced with a more erratic and less pulsatile pattern of secretion, a process that is compounded by low ghrelin levels Despite less peripheral resistance to GH, a state of relative deficiency persists and contributes to critical illness wasting [2] The return of peripheral responsiveness to GH was thought to provide a therapeutic target for exogenous GH administration, but actually results in higher morbidity and mortality These findings may be a function of timing of GH administration and remain under investigation Greater abnormalities are seen in the male GH axis, which has been theorized to account for some gender differences in ICU outcome The thyrotropic axis Normal physiology In health, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is released from the hypothalamus and in turn the anterior pituitary secretes thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), with negative feedback via the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) Acute critical illness The adaptive response of the thyroid to critical illness is an energy conservation strategy, reducing expenditure on metabolic processes It is often called ‘non-thyroidal illness syndrome’, but may also be known as ‘low T3 syndrome’ or ‘sick euthyroid syndrome’ Laboratory parameters include low serum T3 levels, increased reverse T, while TSH and free T4 remain largely normal [3] Low T3 levels are partly due to reduced peripheral conversion from T4 The enzyme 5’-monodeiodinase catalyses this peripheral Chapter 202 conversion and accounts for 80% of free T3 in the circulation This enzyme is inhibited during the stress response and in particular by glucocorticoids It contains the novel amino acid selenocysteine and so may be affected by selenium deficiency Prolonged critical illness As the illness progresses, free T4 decreases and is a reflection of illness severity Those with the lowest T3 and T4 levels in critical care have the highest mortality [4] There is dampening of the normal negative feedback loop TSH fails to increase and loses its pulsatile secretion pattern, only doing so as the patient starts to recover Non-thyroidal illness syndrome is associated with prolongation of mechanical ventilation in the ICU population [5] Despite the biological rationale for treating such a state of continued relative hypothyroidism, there is little convincing proof of efficacy Others [6] have argued for treatment with hypothalamic releasing peptides, rather than thyroid hormone per se, but again definitive evidence to support this strategy is lacking The adrenocortictrophic axis In health, corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) from the paraventricular nucleus is carried in the hypophyseal-portal tract and stimulates release of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ATCH) Cortisol is produced in the zona fasiculata of the adrenal cortex and a negative feedback loop exists to regulate secretion and synthesis Acute critical illness Plasma ACTH and cortisol levels increase with loss of the normal circadian rhythm The hypothalamus is stimulated by a direct effect of cytokines The typical effects of glucocorticoids are manifest in order to maintain homeostasis after the stressful insult These include use of alternative energy strategies, such as mobilization of amino acids from extrahepatic tissues, lipolysis, and subsequent utilization of glycerol, and gluconeogenesis in the liver They have a regulatory role in the acute inflammatory response, by blocking cytokine gene expression and up-regulating specific anti-inflammatory processes The cardiovascular effects of glucocorticoids include the maintenance of vascular responsiveness to catecholamines, endothelial integrity, and intravascular volume via their mineralocorticoid actions [7] These anti-inflammatory and vascular effects explain the biological rationale for the use of low-dose corticosteroids in septic shock [8] Prolonged critical illness When critical illness is protracted, plasma cortisol levels remain high, but ACTH decreases It is likely that this effect is mediated via peripheral mechanisms, such as substance P, atrial natriuretic peptide, endothelin, and cytokines The adverse effects of sustained hypercortisolism, such as muscle wasting, hyperglycaemia, hypokalaemia, poor wound healing, and psychiatric sequelae become apparent and can be seen as a maladaptive response [9,10] Sex hormones and prolactin In health gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GNRH) is secreted in a pulsatile pattern and stimulates the anterior pituitary to release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the gonadotroph cells In males, LH drives testosterone production in the Leydig cells of the testes metabolic and nutritional response In the acute phase of critical illness, serum testosterone levels are low (in spite of elevated LH levels) and prolactin is high Low testosterone switches off the anabolic processes that maintain skeletal muscle mass High oestradiol levels are found—an adaptation that was originally thought to be beneficial as oestrogens inhibit proinflammatory cytokine production Recent findings appear to contradict this and there is an association with increased mortality [11] In prolonged critical illness there is a state of hypogonadal hypogonadism and prolactin deficiency T- and B-lymphocytes possess prolactin receptors, requiring it for their function Hypoprolactinaemia may play a role in the immune paralysis seen in illnesses of longer duration The use of exogenous dopamine could theoretically suppress prolactin secretion and negatively impact immune function Despite these concerns and a higher incidence of adverse events in shocked patients treated with dopamine, the evidence falls short of it having an adverse impact on mortality [12] The role of the autonomic nervous system The classical ‘fight or flight’ response is mediated via adrenaline and noradrenaline A variety of physiological insults, such as pain, hypotension, hypoxia, acidosis, and hypercarbia can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system Pre-ganglionic sympathetic fibres terminate in the adrenal medulla and cathecholamines are released rapidly from synaptic vesicles The leukocyte itself can be an additional source of cathecholamines Cardiovascular responses occur via B1 receptors and include positive inotropy and chronotropy Stimulation of the reninangiotensoin system at the juxta-glomerular cells acts to maintain intravascular volume and tone B2 receptor activation results in gluconeogensesis and glycongenolysis B2 stimulation dampens the pro-inflammatory cytokine response and in sepsis it alters the balance of T helper cells from THC1 to THC2 Some regulation also occurs via α-receptors Alpha-1-mediated vasconstriction acts to maintain blood pressure, but reduced gut perfusion and motility are adverse consequences discussed in ‘Loss of Barrier Function’ The parasympathetic response to traumatic and infectious insults is largely anti-inflammatory and occurs through the activation of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors This acetylcholine-mediated reduction in cytokine production occurs, not only from a direct effect on macrophages, but also indirectly via vagal splenic innervation Vitamin D metabolism Vitamin D deficiency is common in critical illness for two reasons: ◆ Vitamin D is lost through lack of serum binding proteins in acute illness ◆ Many chronic conditions predisposing to critical illness will reduce sunlight exposure and thus synthesis of Vitamin D in the skin The clinical consequences of Vitamin D deficiency are bone resorption, hypercalcaemic immune dysfunction, namely reduced innate responses and heightened adaptive responses, such as prolonged hypercytokinaemia [13] The role of cytokines Cytokines are intercellular messenger proteins that act on various cell types to bring about pro- and anti-inflammatory responses 957 958 Section 7 nutrition: physiology during critical illness They can have local (autocrine or paracrine) or widespread (endocrine) effects Cytokines are produced via stimulation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which may be a future pharmacological target At the cellular level, TLRs are activated not only by the presence of microbial proteins as part of the innate immune response, but also by non-infectious insults, such as tissue injury Here, endogenous intracellular proteins released from dying cells are the trigger, and are known as ‘alarmins’ The cell surface TLRs initiate the nuclear factor kappa-beta (NF-κβ) transcription pathway, which ultimately generates cytokine proteins Note that some cytokines can be released more readily in response to catecholamines with no requirement for gene transcription Tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) has a positive effect on NF-κβ and is responsible for triggering further cytokine release, in what is described clinically as the ‘cytokine storm’ There are several cytokine families (Table 202.1) including the interleukins, interferons, tumour necrosis factors, chemokines, and colony-stimulating factors Burns, tissue trauma, or infection results in a cascade of pro-inflammatory cytokines, of which the key players are TNFα, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-8 Levels of these cytokines correlate with illness severity and outcome Cytokine gene polymorphisms and aberrant responses to TLR ligands are partly accountable for the individual response to sepsis and other insults However, despite the wealth of research in this area, modulation of interleukins and TNFα with recombinant pharmacological agents has not been widely successful Pathophysiology of the gastrointestinal tract in critical illness The normal functions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract extend beyond digestion, absorption, and elimination Important immune and metabolic functions are performed by the gut, and crucially it forms a barrier between bacteria in the intestinal lumen and the sterile internal milieu The GI dysfunction associated with critical illness has been poorly defined and lacked universal terminology until recently [14] A number of clinical manifestations of GI dysfunction are recognized, including stress ulceration, gastro-oesophageal reflux, intolerance of enteral nutrition, ileus, acalculous cholecystitis, abdominal compartment syndrome, intestinal ischaemia, and gastrointestinal hypermotility The pathophysiology of these well recognized clinical phenomena can be explained by the complex interplay between the epithelium, commensal bacteria, and the mucosal immune system [15] The gut has been described as the ‘motor’ of multi-organ dysfunction syndrome and a number of key factors in its response to critical illness reinforce that status as a driver of systemic inflammation Loss of barrier function Table 202.1 Effects of cytokines in the inflammatory process Cytokine Effects TNFα ◆ Rises early in response to sepsis and trauma Activates HPA axis ◆ Induces fever and increases insulin resistance ◆ Major trigger for other cytokine release (IL-1 and IL-6) ◆ Promotes phagocytosis and neutrophil chemotaxis ◆ IL-1 ◆ Fever ◆ ◆ IL-6 ◆ ◆ T cell activation and B cell proliferation Activates HPA axis and suppresses anabolic activity Major activator of acute phase protein synthesis B and T cell differentiation IL-8 Neutrophil chemotaxis and activation HMGB1 ◆ Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) ◆ Multiple effects including acting as an alarmin and cytokine ◆ Can be induced via NF-κβ and cell death ◆ Therefore, an initiator and effector of the inflammatory response ◆ Role in vascular endothelium and enterocyte permeability Key link between immune and endocrine system Expressed by leucocytes and stored intracellularly unlike other cytokines ◆ Secreted by HPA axis in response to stress or infection ◆ Antagonizes the immunosuppressive actions of endogenous steroids ◆ Although perfusion of the gut is autoregulated, the gastrointestinal epithelium is predisposed to ischaemia for anatomical reasons Macroscopically, endogenous cathecholamines acting on alpha-receptors constrict the splanchic circulation Arginine vasopressin and angiotensin also contribute to this non-occlusive ischaemia The small bowel is particularly prone to this Microscopically, the mucosa at the tips of the villi are most at risk of hypoxia A countercurrent blood supply to the metabolically active villus via a central arteriole and network of venules renders it extremely supply dependent The damaged enterocytes slough off and permit translocation of endotoxins and bacteria In addition, ischaemia-reperfusion injury and oxidant stress are likely to further exacerbate mucosal injury Even in the absence of epithelial cell death, the barrier function of the intestine can be lost through disruption of cellular tight junctions This paracellular route is another way in which endotoxin and bacteria may enter the circulation or lymphactics, resulting in sepsis or the systemic inflammatory response syndrome Cytokines are likely to be responsible, with IL-4, interferon-gamma and HMGB-1 being implicated Alteration of gut microflora in critical illness can also compromise intestinal barrier function [16] This shift from commensal bacteria to pathogenic strains can occur as a result of antibiotic use, acid suppression or the illness itself It is likely that commensal Gram-negative anaerobes provide protection to the mucosa through promotion of mucosal repair, increased mucus production and the induction of selective bactericidal proteins, which preferentially target Gram-positive pathogens In the stomach, stress ulceration may be regarded as loss of barrier function and classically affects the gastric
