Comparison of ready-to-eat "organic" antimicrobials, sodium bisulfate, and sodium lactate, on Listeria monocytogenes and the indigenous microbiome of organic uncured beef frankfurters stored under refrigeration for three weeks.
Listeria monocytogenes has been implicated in several ready-to-eat (RTE) foodborne outbreaks, due in part to its ability to survive under refrigerated conditions. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sodium bisulfate (SBS), sodium lactate (SL), and their combination as short-duration antimicrobial dips (10-s) on L. monocytogenes and the microbiome of inoculated organic frankfurters (8 Log10 CFU/g). Frankfurters were treated with tap water (TW), SBS0.39%, SBS0.78%, SL0.78%, SL1.56%, SBS+SL0.39%, SBS+SL0.78%. In addition, frankfurters were treated with frankfurter solution water (HDW)+SBS0.78%, HDW+SL1.56%, and HDW+SBS+SL0.78%. After treatment, frankfurters were vacuum packaged and stored at 4°C. Bacterial enumeration and 16S rDNA sequencing occurred on d 0, 7, 14, 21. Counts were Log10 transformed and calculated as growth potential from d 0 to d 7, 14, and 21. Data were analyzed in R using mixed-effects model and One-Way ANOVA (by day) with differences separated using Tukey's HSD at P ≤ 0.05. The 16S rDNA was sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq and analyzed in Qiime2-2018.8 with significance at P ≤ 0.05 and Q ≤ 0.05 for main and pairwise effects. An interaction of treatment and time was observed among the microbiological plate data with all experimental treatments reducing the growth potential of Listeria across time (P < 0.0001). Efficacy of treatments was inconsistent across time; however, on d 21, SBS0.39% treated franks had the lowest growth potential compared to the control. Among diversity metrics, time had no effect on the microbiota (P > 0.05), but treatment did (P < 0.05). Thus, the treatments potentially promoted a stable microbiota across time. Using ANCOM, Listeria was the only significantly different taxa at the genus level (P < 0.05, W = 52). Therefore, the results suggest incorporating SBS over SL as an alternative antimicrobial for the control of L. monocytogenes in organic frankfurters without negatively impacting the microbiota. However, further research using multiple L. monocytogenes strains will need to be utilized in order to determine the scope of SBS use in the production of RTE meat.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparison of fluid balance and hemodynamic and metabolic effects of sodium lactate versus sodium bicarbonate versus 0.9% NaCl in porcine endotoxic shock: a randomized, open-label, controlled study.
BACKGROUND
Sodium lactate has been shown to improve hemodynamics and avoid fluid overload. The objective of this study was to confirm a beneficial effect on fluid balance with sodium lactate infusion and to specify whether the advantage of lactate is related to a negative chloride balance, its particular metabolism, or simply its energy load.
METHODS
This was an interventional, randomized, open-label, controlled experimental study. Fifteen female "large white" pigs (2 months old) were challenged with intravenous infusion of Escherichia coli endotoxin. Three groups of five animals were randomly assigned to receive different fluids: a treatment group received sodium lactate 11.2% (SL group); an isotonic control group received 0.9% NaCl (NC group); and a hypertonic control group, with the same amount of osmoles and sodium as the SL group, received sodium bicarbonate 8.4% (SB group). In order to provide the same energy load in the three groups, control groups were perfused with an equivalent energy supply. Statistical analysis was performed with non-parametric tests and the Dunn correction for multiple comparisons at p < 0.05.
RESULTS
Fluid and chloride balance, hemodynamics, oxygenation markers, and microcirculatory parameters were measured over a 5-h period. Cumulative fluid balance was significantly lower in the SL group (550 (415-800) mL; median (interquartile range)) compared to the NC group (1100 (920-1640) mL, p = 0.01) and the SB group (935 (790-1220) mL, p = 0.03). Hemodynamics, cardiac efficiency, and microcirculation were significantly enhanced in the SL group, resulting in a significant improvement in oxygen delivery (SL group 417 (305-565) mL/min/m at 300 min versus the NC (207 (119-272) mL/min/m, p = 0.01) and the SB (278, (211-315) mL/min/m, p = 0.03) groups). Oxygenation markers (arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO)/inspired oxygen fraction (FiO), mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO), and venoarterial carbon dioxide tension difference (Pv-aCO) were enhanced with sodium lactate infusion. Chloride balance was equivalent in both hypertonic groups and significantly reduced compared to the NC group.
CONCLUSION
Sodium lactate infusion improves fluid balance and hemodynamics. The advantage of lactate does not seem to be explained by its energy load or by the induced negative chloride balance with subsequent water movements.

Ischemic stroke is caused by insufficient blood flow to the brain. Astrocytes have a role in bidirectionally converting pyruvate, generated via glycolysis, into lactate and then supplying it to neurons through astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle (ANLS). Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is an enzyme that dephosphorylates phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate during glycolysis in astrocytes. We hypothesized that a reduction in lactate supply in astrocyte PKM2 gene deletion exacerbates neuronal death. Mice harboring a PKM2 gene deletion were established by administering tamoxifen to Aldh1l1-Cre; PKM2 mice. Upon development of global cerebral ischemia, mice were immediately injected with sodium l-lactate (250 mg/kg, i.p.). To verify our hypothesis, we compared oxidative damage, microtubule disruption, ANLS disruption, and neuronal death between the gene deletion and control subjects. We observed that PKM2 gene deletion increases the degree of neuronal damage and impairment of lactate metabolism in the hippocampal region after GCI. The lactate administration groups showed significantly reduced neuronal death and increases in neuron survival and cognitive function. We found that lactate supply via the ANLS in astrocytes plays a crucial role in maintaining energy metabolism in neurons. Lactate administration may have potential as a therapeutic tool to prevent neuronal damage following ischemic stroke.

Review
Panic disorder (PD), a complex anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent panic attacks, represents a poorly understood psychiatric condition which is associated with significant morbidity and an increased risk of suicide attempts and completed suicide. Recently however, neuroimaging and panic provocation challenge studies have provided insights into the pathoetiology of panic phenomena and have begun to elucidate potential neural mechanisms that may underlie panic attacks. In this regard, accumulating evidence suggests that acidosis may be a contributing factor in induction of panic. Challenge studies in patients with PD reveal that panic attacks may be reliably provoked by agents that lead to acid-base dysbalance such as CO2 inhalation and sodium lactate infusion. Chemosensory mechanisms that translate pH into panic-relevant fear, autonomic, and respiratory responses are therefore of high relevance to the understanding of panic pathophysiology. Herein, we provide a current update on clinical and preclinical studies supporting how acid-base imbalance and diverse chemosensory mechanisms may be associated with PD and discuss future implications of these findings.

The purpose of this study was to determine local sweat rate (LSR) and sweat composition during heat acclimation (HA). For ten consecutive days of HA, eight participants cycled in 33 °C and 65% relative humidity at an intensity such that a rectal temperature of 38.5 °C was reached within ~40 min, followed by a 60-min clamp of this rectal temperature (i.e., controlled hyperthermia). Four participants extended HA by a 28-day decay period and five consecutive days of heat re-acclimation (HRA) using controlled hyperthermia. Sweat from the upper arm and upper back was collected three times during each heat exposure session. LSR and sweat sodium, chloride, lactate, and potassium concentrations were determined. Relative to HA day 1, LSR was increased at the final day of HA (day 10) (arm: +58%, P < 0.001; back: +36%, P < 0.05). Concentrations of sodium, chloride, and lactate significantly (P < 0.05) decreased to ~60% at HA day 10 compared to day 1 on the arm and back. Potassium concentration did not significantly differ on HA day 10 compared to day 1 (arm: +11%, P > 0.05; back: +8%, P > 0.05). The induction patterns of the sudomotor adaptations were different. Whilst LSR increased from HA day 8 on the arm and from HA day 7 on the back, sodium and chloride conservation already occurred from HA day 3 on both skin sites. Lastly, the sweat lactate reduction occurred from HA day 6 on the arm and back. Initial evidence is provided that adaptations were partly conserved after decay (28 days) and that a 5-day HRA may be sufficient to restore HA adaptations. In conclusion, ten days of exercise-induced HA using controlled hyperthermia led to increases in LSR and concomitant reductions of sweat sodium, chloride, and lactate concentrations, whilst potassium concentrations remained relatively constant.

INTRODUCTION
Impaired awareness of hypoglycemia, clinically reflected by the inability to timely detect hypoglycemia, affects approximately 25% of the people with type 1 diabetes. Both altered brain lactate handling and increased cerebral blood flow (CBF) during hypoglycemia appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of impaired awareness of hypoglycemia. Here we examine the effect of lactate on CBF during hypoglycemia.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Nine people with type 1 diabetes and normal awareness of hypoglycemia underwent two hyperinsulinemic euglycemic-hypoglycemic (3.0 mmol/L) glucose clamps in a 3T MR system, once with sodium lactate infusion and once with sodium chloride infusion. Global and regional changes in CBF were determined using pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling.
RESULTS
Lactate (3.3±0.6 vs 0.9±0.2 mmol/L during lactate infusion vs placebo infusion, respectively) suppressed the counter-regulatory hormone responses to hypoglycemia. Global CBF increased considerably in response to intravenous lactate infusion but did not further increase during hypoglycemia. Lactate also blunted the hypoglycemia-induced regional redistribution of CBF towards the thalamus.
CONCLUSIONS
Elevated lactate levels enhance global CBF and blunt the thalamic CBF response during hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes, mimicking observations of impaired awareness of hypoglycemia. These findings suggest that alteration of CBF associated with lactate may play a role in some aspects of the development of impaired awareness of hypoglycemia.

Human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells initiate hepatocyte differentiation in a medium without glucose and supplemented with galactose, oncostatin M and small molecules [hepatocyte differentiation inducer (HDI)]. To clarify the metabolic differences between iPS cells in HDI and ReproFF (undifferentiated state), a metabolome analysis was performed. iPS cells were cultured in a medium without glucose and supplemented with galactose, as well as 1 mM of calcium lactate, sodium lactate or lactic acid. After 7 days of culture, the cells were subjected to reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis. The galactose-1-phosphate concentration was significantly higher in cells cultured in HDI than in those cultured with ReproFF. The lactate concentration in the HDI group was significantly lower than that in the ReproFF group. The expression levels of α-feto protein and albumin were significantly higher in the groups cultured with calcium lactate, sodium lactate and lactic acid as compared with ReproFF. It was suggested that lactate promoted the survival of iPS cells cultured in a medium without glucose and supplemented with galactose. Under these conditions, iPS cells begin to differentiate into a hepatocyte lineage. Lactate may be applied to produce hepatocytes from iPS cells more efficiently.

The plasma lactate concentration in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes is often higher than that in nondiabetic individuals. Although it is known that increased lactate concentration is an independent risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Because inflammation plays an important role in the development of type 2 diabetes, we postulated that increased lactate level might contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes by enhancing inflammation. In the present study, we demonstrated that preexposure of U937 macrophage-like cells to sodium lactate increased LPS-stimulated matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, IL-1beta, and IL-6 secretion. Augmentation of LPS-stimulated MMP-1 secretion was diminished when sodium lactate was replaced by lactic acid that reduced pH in the culture medium. Furthermore, quantitative real-time PCR indicated that the increased secretion of MMP-1, IL-1beta, and IL-6 was due to increased mRNA expression. To explore the underlying signaling mechanism, blocking studies using specific inhibitors for NF-kappaB and MAPK cascades were performed. Results showed that blocking of either NF-kappaB or MAPK pathways led to the inhibition of MMP-1, IL-1beta, and IL-6 expression stimulated by sodium lactate, LPS, or both. Finally, electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed a synergy between sodium lactate and LPS on AP-1 and NF-kappaB transcriptional activities. In conclusion, this study has demonstrated for the first time that sodium lactate and LPS exert synergistic effect on MMP and cytokine expression through NF-kappaB and MAPK pathways and revealed a novel mechanism potentially involved in the development of type 2 diabetes and its complications.

Lactate Clearance and Vasopressor Seem to Be Predictors for Mortality in Severe Sepsis Patients with Lactic Acidosis Supplementing Sodium Bicarbonate: A Retrospective Analysis.
INTRODUCTION
Initial lactate level, lactate clearance, C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin in critically ill patients with sepsis are associated with hospital mortality. However, no study has yet discovered which factor is most important for mortality in severe sepsis patients with lactic acidosis. We sought to clarify this issue in patients with lactic acidosis who were supplementing with sodium bicarbonate.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Data were collected from a single center between May 2011 and April 2014. One hundred nine patients with severe sepsis and lactic acidosis who were supplementing with sodium bicarbonate were included.
RESULTS
The 7-day mortality rate was 71.6%. The survivors had higher albumin levels and lower SOFA, APACHE II scores, vasopressor use, and follow-up lactate levels at an elapsed time after their initial lactate levels were checked. In particular, a decrement in lactate clearance of at least 10% for the first 6 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours of treatment was more dominant among survivors than non-survivors. Although the patients who were treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics showed higher illness severity than those who received conventional antibiotics, there was no significant mortality difference. 6-hour, 24-hour, and 48-hour lactate clearance (HR: 4.000, 95% CI: 1.309-12.219, P = 0.015) and vasopressor use (HR: 4.156, 95% CI: 1.461-11.824, P = 0.008) were significantly associated with mortality after adjusting for confounding variables.
CONCLUSIONS
Lactate clearance at a discrete time point seems to be a more reliable prognostic index than initial lactate value in severe sepsis patients with lactic acidosis who were supplementing with sodium bicarbonate. Careful consideration of vasopressor use and the initial application of broad-spectrum antibiotics within the first 48 hours may be helpful for improving survival, and further study is warranted.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the chemical, microbiological, and sensory effects of different sodium lactate (SL) and lactic acid (LA) combinations on marinated chicken thigh. The latter were treated with SL and LA combined at various concentrations, namely 0.3 and 0.03; 0.5 and 0.05; 0.6 and 0.06; 0.75 and 0.075; and 0.9 and 0.09%, respectively. The findings indicated that those combinations were efficient (P < 0.05) against the proliferation of various spoilage microorganisms, including aerobic plate count, psychrotrophic populations, Pseudomonas spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacteriaceae, and Salmonella spp. The results from chemical analyses revealed that the treated thigh underwent significant decreases (P < 0.05) in terms of pH values and total volatile base nitrogen contents. Significant differences (P < 0.05) were, however, detected with regard to their sensory attributes, with SL-LA concentrations of 0.9 and 0.09 yielding the highest scores for the color, texture, and flavor attributes. Overall, the findings demonstrated that the addition of 0.9% SL and 0.09% LA to marinated chicken can help delay the proliferation of spoilage microorganisms, prevent the generation of undesirable chemicals, improve the levels of sensory attributes, and extend the shelf life of products during refrigerated storage.
