Interestingly, CAMDs correlated with both lactate levels and mtDNA copy number, which in turn correlated with the NLR. Finally, we identified 13 putative pathogenic variants in the mtDNA of 11 participants with SZ not present in HCs, together with a lactate elevation during exercise that was significantly higher in these 11 carriers than in the noncarriers. CONCLUSIONS These results are consistent with systemic mitochondrial malfunctioning in SZ and pinpoint lactate metabolism and mtDNA as targets for potential therapeutic treatments. V.BACKGROUND Pneumonectomy in the adult patient is associated with a mortality of 1-9%. Death is often due to post pneumonectomy pulmonary oedema (PPPO). The use of balanced chest drainage system (BCD) in the setting of post pneumonectomy has been reported to be of benefit in the prevention of PPPO. This study seeks to compare the incidence of PPPO in patients who underwent pneumonectomy and whose empty pleural space was managed either with CRD or BCD. METHODS This retrospective observational cohort study involved 98 patients who were operated on by one surgeon at Liverpool Hospital, Sydney, Australia from 1997 to 2019. The patients were divided into two groups according to the era in which they had their pneumonectomy. Group 1 consisted of 18 patients managed with clamp-release drainage between 1997 and 2002. Group 2 consisted of 80 patients managed with balanced chest drainage between 2003 and 2019. The primary outcomes of interest were the development of PPPO and death. Demographic and clinico-pathological vndent protective value for PPPO and mortality. CONCLUSION Compared with clamp-release drainage, balanced chest drainage results in a lower incidence of post-pneumonectomy pulmonary oedema and death. Crown V.
