Abstract
In this work, the effects of sulfated polysaccharides from Lentinula edodes (SPLE) on zymosan (ZYM)-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) mice were investigated. Using the MODS mice model, biochemical works have already shown that in mice treated with SPLE, the lung parameters of GGT, C3 and hs-CRP were down-regulated and the hepatic parameters of TC, TG, ALT and AST, HDLC, LDL-C and VLDL-C were improved, the serum levels of CK, Cr and Amy were decreased, and the levels of inflammatory factors such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 were also reduced, the activity of antioxidant enzymes SOD and CAT enhanced, and the content of MDA was reduced. In addition, histopathology of the lung and liver confirmed the beneficial effects of SPLE on MODS mice, indicating that SPLE played a role in protecting the organ function of MODS mice. In addition, SPLE was characterized as a sulfated β-glucan linked by β-type glycosidic bonds. These conclusions indicated that SPLE had effective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and could be used as a functional food and medicine to prevent MODS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential changes in the plasma levels of resolvin D1 (RvD1) in patients with trauma and hemorrhage. Having found that trauma results in a profound reduction in plasma RvD1 in patients, we have then investigated the effects of RvD1 on the organ injury and dysfunction associated with hemorrhagic shock (HS) in the rat. BACKGROUND HS is a common cause of death in trauma due to excessive systemic inflammation and multiple organ failure. RvD1 is a member of the resolvin family of pro-resolution mediators. METHODS Blood samples were drawn from critically injured patients (n = 27, ACITII-prospective observational cohort study) within 2 hours of injury for targeted liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. HS rats (removal of blood to reduce arterial pressure to 30 ± 2 mm Hg, 90 minutes, followed by resuscitation) were treated with RvD1 (0.3 or 1 μg/kg intravenous (i.v.)) or vehicle (n = 7). Parameters of organ injury and dysfunction were determined. RESULTS Plasma levels of RvD1 (mg/dL) were reduced in patients with trauma+HS (0.17 ± 0.08) when compared with healthy volunteers (0.76 ± 0.25) and trauma patients (0.62 ± 0.20). In rats with HS, RvD1 attenuated the kidney dysfunction, liver injury, and tissue ischemia. RvD1 also reduced activation of the nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway and reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory proteins such as inducible nitric oxide synthase, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-6. CONCLUSION Plasma RvD1 is reduced in patients with trauma-HS. In rats with HS, administration of synthetic RvD1 on resuscitation attenuated the multiple organ failure associated with HS by a mechanism that involves inhibition of the activation of NF-κB.

Abstract
NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) is one of the most prominent liver diseases in the world. As a metabolic-related disease, the development of NAFLD is closely associated with various degrees of lipid accumulation, oxidation, inflammation, and fibrosis. Ilex chinensis Sims is a form of traditional Chinese medicine which is used to treat bronchitis, burns, pneumonia, ulceration, and chilblains. Kaempferol-3-O-glucuronide (K3O) is a natural chemical present in Ilex chinensis Sims. This study was designed to investigate the antioxidative, fat metabolism-regulating, and anti-inflammatory potential of K3O. A high-cholesterol diet (HCD) was used to establish steatosis in larval zebrafish, whereby 1mM free fatty acid (FFA) was used to induce lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells, while H2O2 was used to induce oxidative stress in HepG2. The results of this experiment showed that K3O reduced lipid accumulation and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) both in vivo (K3O, 40 μM) and in vitro (K3O, 20 μM). Additionally, K3O (40 μM) reduced neutrophil aggregation in vivo. K3O (20 μM) also decreased the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and significantly increased the level of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) in both the HCD-induced larval zebrafish model and H2O2-exposed HepG2 cells. In the mechanism study, keap1, nrf2, tnf-α, and il-6 mRNA were all significantly reversed by K3O (20 μM) in zebrafish. Changes in Keap1 and Nrf2 mRNA expression were also detected in H2O2-exposed HepG2 cells after they were treated with K3O (20 μM). In conclusion, K3O exhibited a reduction in oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, and this may be related to the Nrf2/Keap1 pathway in the NAFLD larval zebrafish model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated the underlying mechanism of crocin in protecting rats with traumatic hemorrhagic shock (THS) from liver injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 20), namely, Sham group, THS group, crocin group, and Sodium Acetate Ringer group. A rat model of THS was induced by hemorrhage from the left femur fracture. The effects of crocin on hemodynamics, cardiac output, blood gas, animal survival rate, and liver function in the rats with THS were determined, and its relationship with oxidative stress was also explored. RESULTS Crocin significantly improved the survival rate, hemodynamic parameters, increased tissue blood flow, and promoted the liver function of the THS rats. Further results indicated that crocin significantly inhibited oxidative stress in serum and liver tissue of THS rats, with increased levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione, and also reduced levels of malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase levels. In addition, crocin greatly increased nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 level in liver tissues of THS rats. CONCLUSIONS The protective mechanism of crocin on the liver of THS rats may be attributed to its abilities to stabilize hemodynamics, improve cardiac output and blood gas, increase antioxidant enzyme activity, reduce serum liver enzyme levels, and promote nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 pathway, thereby reducing oxidative stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trauma-induced shock is associated with endothelial dysfunction. We examined whether the tyrosine kinase inhibitor bosutinib as an adjunct therapy to a balanced blood component resuscitation strategy reduces trauma-induced endothelial permeability, thereby improving shock reversal and limiting transfusion requirements and organ failure in a rat polytrauma transfusion model. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=13 per group) were traumatised and exsanguinated until a MAP of 40 mm Hg was reached, then randomised to two groups: red blood cells, plasma and platelets in a 1:1:1 ratio with either bosutinib or vehicle. Controls were randomised to sham (median laparotomy, no trauma) with bosutinib or vehicle. Organs were harvested for histology and wet/dry (W/D) weight ratio. RESULTS Traumatic injury resulted in shock, with higher lactate levels compared with controls. In trauma-induced shock, the resuscitation volume needed to obtain a MAP of 60 mm Hg was lower in bosutinib-treated animals (2.8 [2.7-3.2] ml kg-1) compared with vehicle (6.1 [5.1-7.2] ml kg-1, P<0.001). Lactate levels in the bosutinib group were 2.9 [1.7-4.8] mM compared with 6.2 [3.1-14.1] mM in the vehicle group (P=0.06). Bosutinib compared with vehicle reduced lung vascular leakage (W/D ratio of 5.1 [4.6-5.3] vs 5.7 [5.4-6.0] (P=0.046) and lung injury scores (P=0.027). CONCLUSIONS Bosutinib as an adjunct therapy to a balanced transfusion strategy reduced resuscitation volume, improved shock reversal, and reduced vascular leak and organ injury in a rat polytrauma model.

Sulforaphane and Albumin Attenuate Experimental Intestinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury. J Surg Res 2021; 262:212-223. [PMID: 33610056 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2021.01.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2020] [Revised: 11/28/2020] [Accepted: 01/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury constitutes a severe disorder, in great part resulting from oxidative stress. Because sulforaphane and albumin were shown to increase antioxidant defenses, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of these agents in an experimental model of I/R injury. METHODS Wistar rats were used to establish a model of intestinal I/R (35 min of ischemia, followed by 45 min of reperfusion) and were treated with albumin (5 mL/kg), sulforaphane (500 μg/kg), or saline intravenously before reperfusion. Animals that were not subjected to I/R served as the sham (laparotomy only) and control groups. Blood samples were analyzed for arterial gas, reactive oxygen species, and reactive nitrogen species using different molecular fluorescent probes. After euthanasia, ileal samples were collected for analysis, including histopathology, immunohistochemistry, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling assays, and lactic dehydrogenase measurement. RESULTS Oxygenation status and hemodynamic parameters were uniform during the experiment. The sulforaphane- or albumin-treated groups showed reduced concentrations of reactive oxygen species (P < 0.04), nitric oxide (P < 0.001), and peroxynitrite (P = 0.001), compared with I/R injury untreated animals. Treatment with sulforaphane or albumin resulted in the preservation of goblet cells (P < 0.03), reductions in histopathologic scores (P < 0.01), macrophage density (P < 0.01), iNOS expression (P < 0.004), NF-kappa B activation (P < 0.05), and apoptotic rates (P < 0.04) in the mucosa and a reduction in the concentration of lactic dehydrogenase (P < 0.04), more pronounced with sulforaphane. CONCLUSIONS Attenuation of intestinal I/R injury in this model probably reflects the antioxidative effects of systemic administration of both sulforaphane and albumin and reinforces their use in future translational research.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text Background: A declining selenium (Se) status constitutes a characteristic of critical illness and may affect disease course and survival. The dynamics of trauma-induced changes in biomarkers of Se status are poorly characterized, and an association with multiple organ failure (MOF) and mortality can be hypothesized. It was the aim of this study to investigate Se and selenoprotein P (SELENOP) concentrations in major trauma patients during the early posttraumatic period. Patients and Methods: Twenty-four patients after major trauma (ISS ≥16) were included at our level one trauma center. Se supplementation ever during the 90-day observation period was defined as an exclusion criterion. Serum samples were drawn within less than 60 min after trauma, and after 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h. Serum Se was analyzed by X-ray fluorescence and SELENOP concentrations by ELISA. The data were correlated to clinical parameters, occurrence of MOF defined by MOF and APACHE II score, lung injury defined by Horowitz index and clinical outcome (90-days survival). Results: Serum Se and SELENOP concentrations of the trauma patients were significantly below the average of healthy European subjects (mean ±SD; Se, 41.2±8.1 vs. 84.7±23.3 μg/L, P < 0.001; SePP, 1.5±0.3 vs. 4.3±1.0 mg/L, P < 0.001). A strong deficit was present already at the first time point (Se; 33.6±10.5 μg/L, SELENOP: 1.4±0.5 mg/L). The clinical scores collectively showed an inverse relation between health status and Se biomarkers. Patients who did not survive the 90-day observation period exhibited significantly lower initial post-trauma Se status than the surviving patients (mean±SD; Se, 24.7±7.2 vs. 39.2±8.4 μg/L, P<0.05; SePP, 1.1±0.4 vs. 1.6±0.4 mg/L, P<0.05). Conclusion: Very low Se and SELENOP concentrations occur fast after major trauma and are associated with poor survival odds. These findings support the notion that early Se substitution may constitute a meaningful adjuvant treatment strategy in trauma patients.

Abstract
Ophiopogonin, including Ophiopogonin A, B, C, D, is an effective active component of traditional Chinese medicine Ophiopogon japonicus which has a wide range of pharmacological effects such as protecting myocardial ischemia, resisting myocardial infarction, immune regulation, lowering blood glucose, and anti-tumor. However, the functions of ophiopogonin A on hemorrhagic shock (HS)-induced renal injury remain unclear. First, this study constructed an HS rat model and hypoxia HK-2 cell model to assess the effects of ophiopogonin A in vivo and in vitro. In vivo, HE and TUNEL staining show that ophiopogonin A dose-dependently inhibits HS-induced tissue damage and apoptosis. Moreover, ophiopogonin A dose-dependently downregulates the levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), KIM-1, NGAL, iNOS, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in HS rats kidney tissues, and decreases the number of MPO-positive cells. In vitro, we get similar results that ophiopogonin A dose-dependently improves hypoxia-induced HK-2 cell apoptosis and damage. In addition, ophiopogonin A dose-dependently increases the expression of NF E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), while knockdown of Nrf2 reverses the functions of ophiopogonin A in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, ophiopogonin A dose-dependently promotes the phosphorylation of ERK in HS kidney tissues and hypoxia-treated HK-2 cells, suggesting that ophiopogonin A functions via the p-ERK/ERK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background Severe injury initiates a complex physiologic response encompassing multiple systems and varies phenotypically between patients. Trauma-induced coagulopathy may be an early warning of a poorly coordinated response at the molecular level, including a deleterious immunologic response and worsening of shock states. The onset of trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) may be subtle however. In previous work, we identified an early warning sign of coagulopathy from the admission thromboelastogram, called the MAR ratio. We hypothesized that a low MAR ratio would be associated with specific derangements in the inflammatory response. Methods In this prospective, observational study, 88 blunt trauma patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) were identified. Concentrations of inflammatory mediators were recorded serially over the course of a week and the MAR ratio was calculated from the admission thromboelastogram. Correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between MAR and inflammatory mediators. Dynamic network analysis was used to assess coordination of immunologic response. Results Seventy-nine percent of patients were male and mean age was 37 years (SD 12). The mean ISS was 30.2 (SD 12) and mortality was 7.2%. CRITICAL patients (MAR ratio ≤14.2) had statistically higher shock volumes at three time points in the first day compared to NORMAL patients (MAR ratio >14.2). CRITICAL patients had significant differences in IL-6 (P=0.0065), IL-8 (P=0.0115), IL-10 (P=0.0316) and MCP-1 (P=0.0039) concentrations compared to NORMAL. Differences in degree of expression and discoordination of immune response continued in CRITICAL patients throughout the first day. Conclusions The admission MAR ratio may be the earliest warning signal of a pathologic inflammatory response associated with hypoperfusion and TIC. A low MAR ratio is an early indication of complicated dysfunction of multiple molecular processes following trauma.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Accumulating evidence supports the use of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), particularly bone marrow derived, as a safe and promising biologic therapy for promoting tissue repair and regeneration in various chronic diseases and disorders. Despite growing evidence that MSCs are potent anti-inflammatory mediators that can provide substantial benefits in acute organ injury, there are limited clinical trials utilizing MSCs in acute care settings, such as in the emergency department (ED) or intensive care unit (ICU). OBJECTIVE This article reviews the current state of MSC-based therapeutics and further explores the untapped potential role to treat various acute, life-threating injuries in the ED and ICU. DISCUSSION All clinical trials using MSCs in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis and acute kidney injury (AKI) demonstrated safety. While some also demonstrate clinical efficacy, efficacy data is inconsistent, with some studies limited by sample size, cell integrity and different dosages, necessitating further studies. CONCLUSION MSCs are potentially promising novel biologic therapeutics for clinical application in AMI, ARDS, sepsis, AKI and COVID-19 that have demonstrated safety in all clinical trials. More rigorous clinical trials are necessary and warranted to determine the efficacy of MSCs as a novel therapeutic in an acute setting, such as the ED.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients on dialysis were susceptible to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and were prone to severe clinical characteristics after infection; acute kidney injury was related to mortality in COVID-19 cases. Limited is known about the characteristics of COVID-19 patients with end-stage renal disease not requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT). AIM Evaluate clinical characteristics, course and outcomes of COVID-19 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who did not require RRT and those on dialysis. DESIGN A two-center retrospective study. METHODS A total of 836 adult patients with COVID-19 (24 CKD not on dialysis; 15 dialysis-dependent CKD) were included. The study includes no patients with renal transplantation. Risk factors were explored. RESULTS CKD not requiring RRT is an independent risk factor for in-hospital death [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 7.35 (95% CI 2.41-22.44)] and poor prognosis [aOR 3.01 (95% CI 1.23-7.33)]. Compared with COVID-19 cases without CKD, those with CKD not requiring RRT showed similar percentage of initial moderate cases (75.00% vs. 73.65%) but higher incidence of in-hospital neutrophilia (50.00% vs. 27.30%) or death (50.00% vs. 9.03%). The odds ratio of dialysis associated to mortality in CKD patients was 2.00 (95% CI 0.52-7.63), suggesting COVID-19 patients with dialysis-dependent CKD were at greater risk of in-hospital death. For COVID-19 patients with CKD not requiring RRT, statins reduced the risk of neutrophilia [OR 0.10 (95% CI 0.01-0.69)] while diuretics increased the risk of neutrophilia [OR 15.4 (95% CI 1.47-160.97)], although both showed no association to mortality. CONCLUSION COVID-19 patients with CKD presented high incidence of neutrophilia, poor prognosis and in-hospital death, with dialysis patients being more vulnerable.

Abstract
A significant amount of clinical and research interest in thrombosis is focused on large vessels (eg, stroke, myocardial infarction, deep venous thrombosis, etc.); however, thrombosis is often present in the microcirculation in a variety of significant human diseases, such as disseminated intravascular coagulation, thrombotic microangiopathy, sickle cell disease, and others. Further, microvascular thrombosis has recently been demonstrated in patients with COVID-19, and has been proposed to mediate the pathogenesis of organ injury in this disease. In many of these conditions, microvascular thrombosis is accompanied by inflammation, an association referred to as thromboinflammation. In this review, we discuss endogenous regulatory mechanisms that prevent thrombosis in the microcirculation, experimental approaches to induce microvascular thrombi, and clinical conditions associated with microvascular thrombosis. A greater understanding of the links between inflammation and thrombosis in the microcirculation is anticipated to provide optimal therapeutic targets for patients with diseases accompanied by microvascular thrombosis.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2020; 7:568096. [PMID: 33072784 PMCID: PMC7542230 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2020.568096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2020] [Accepted: 08/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Circulating microRNAs (miRNA) alterations have been reported in severe trauma patients but the pathophysiological relevance of these changes is still unclear. miRNAs are critical biologic regulators of pathological events such as hypoxia and inflammation, which are known to induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. ER stress is emerging as an important process contributing to the development of single and/or multiple organ dysfunction after trauma hemorrhagic shock (THS) accompanied by impaired tissue microcirculation and inflammation. Here, we aim to bring new insights into the involvement of miRNAs associated with ER stress in THS. THS was induced in rats by a median laparotomy and blood withdrawal until mean arterial pressure (MAP) dropped to 30-35 mmHg followed by a restrictive (40 min) and full reperfusion (60 min) with Ringer's solution. Tunicamycin was used to induce ER stress. Blood samples were collected 24 h after THS for the determination of pathological changes in the blood (PCB) and circulating miRNAs. Plasma levels of circulating miRNAs were compared between THS, tunicamycin, and sham groups and correlated to biomarkers of PCB. MiRNA profile of THS animals showed that 40 out of 91 (44%) miRNAs were significantly upregulated compared to sham (p < 0.01). The data showed a very strong correlation between liver injury and miR−122-5p (r = 0.91, p < 0.00001). MiR-638, miR−135a-5p, miR−135b-5p, miR-668-3p, miR-204-5p, miR−146a-5p, miR−200a-3p, miR−17-5p, miR−30a-5p, and miR−214-3p were found positively correlated with lactate (r > 0.7, p < 0.05), and negatively with base excess (r ≤ 0.8, p < 0.05) and bicarbonate (r ≤ 0.8, p < 0.05), which are clinical parameters that reflected the shock severity. Tunicamycin significantly modified the microRNA profile of the animals, 33 out of 91 miRNAs were found differentially expressed. In addition, principal component analysis revealed that THS and tunicamycin induced similar changes in plasma miRNA patterns. Strikingly, the data showed that 15 (25.9%) miRNAs were regulated by both THS and tunicamycin (p < 0.01). This included miR−122-5p, a liver-specific microRNA, but also miR−17-5p and miR-125b-5p which are miRNAs remarkably involved in unfolded protein response (UPR)-mediating pro-survival signaling (IRE1α). Since miRNAs associated with ER stress are clearly correlated with THS, our data strongly suggest that interaction between miRNAs and ER stress is an important pathologic event occurring during THS. Overall, we consider that the miRNA profile developed in this study can provide a rationale for the development of bench-to-bedside strategies that target miRNAs in critical care diseases or be used as biomarkers in the prognosis of trauma patients.

Abstract
Immune dysfunction can occur during sepsis or following major trauma. Decreased monocyte HLA-DR expression and cytokine responses are associated with mortality. Recent studies have shown that adaptive immune system defects can also occur in such patients, characterised by increased PD-L1 expression and associated T-cell anergy. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of an immune adjuvant, interferon-gamma, on monocyte PD-L1 expression and T-cell activation in an ex-vivo human whole blood model of infection. We found that with interferon-gamma treatment, monocytes had increased HLA-DR expression and augmented TNF-α production in response to LPS stimulation, with a decrease in IL-10 levels. Both LPS and interferon-gamma increased the level of monocyte PD-L1 expression, and that a combination of both agents synergistically stimulated a further increase in PD-L1 levels as measured by flow cytometry. However, despite elevated PD-L1 expression, both CD4 and CD8 T-cell activation was not diminished by the addition of interferon-gamma treatment. These findings suggest that PD-L1 may not be a reliable marker for T-cell anergy, and that interferon-gamma remains an adjuvant of interest that can improve the monocyte inflammatory response while preserving T-cell activation.

Abstract
In 1994, the "danger model" argued that adaptive immune responses are driven rather by molecules released upon tissue damage than by the recognition of "strange" molecules. Thus, an alternative to the "self versus non-self recognition model" has been provided. The model, which suggests that the immune system discriminates dangerous from safe molecules, has established the basis for the future designation of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), a term that was coined by Walter G. Land, Seong, and Matzinger. The pathological importance of DAMPs is barely somewhere else evident as in the posttraumatic or post-surgical inflammation and regeneration. Since DAMPs have been identified to trigger specific immune responses and inflammation, which is not necessarily detrimental but also regenerative, it still remains difficult to describe their "friend or foe" role in the posttraumatic immunogenicity and healing process. DAMPs can be used as biomarkers to indicate and/or to monitor a disease or injury severity, but they also may serve as clinically applicable parameters for optimized indication of the timing for, i.e., secondary surgeries. While experimental studies allow the detection of these biomarkers on different levels including cellular, tissue, and circulatory milieu, this is not always easily transferable to the human situation. Thus, in this review, we focus on the recent literature dealing with the pathophysiological importance of DAMPs after traumatic injury. Since dysregulated inflammation in traumatized patients always implies disturbed resolution of inflammation, so-called model of suppressing/inhibiting inducible DAMPs (SAMPs) will be very briefly introduced. Thus, an update on this topic in the field of trauma will be provided.

Abstract
The measurement of RBC indices is of particular importance as an indirect intermediate component of the recovery process after exposure to hypoxia, ischemia, hypothermia in patients with traumatic disease due to polytrauma.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the parameters of the morphologic state of red blood cells as a reaction of patients with traumatic disease.
Materials and methods.A prospective study was carried out evaluation of 120 patients suffering from polytrauma. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the principle of using additional substances as a part of IC. The parameters of morphologic state of red blood cells were studied.
Results and discussion. The course of acute and early periods of traumatic disease has accompanied variability morphological forms of red blood cells, as evidenced by a decrease in MCV and RDW increased levels of the 3rd to 5th day. The optimized therapy used in the treatment of patients, has a positive effect on the parameters of red blood cells, contributes to a better recovery of red blood cells after hypoxia resulting multiple trauma.
Conclusion. The study has demonstrated variations in the morphologic properties of red blood cells in the acute and early period of traumatic disease, as confirmed by pathological changes of the erythrocyte indices. The administration of the proposed therapy with the use of D-fructose-1.6-diphosphate sodium salt of hydrate has a positive effect on the parameters of red blood cells, contributes to a better recovery after hypoxia resulting multiple trauma. Given this, the calculations of the red blood cell indices may carry additional diagnostic information, which allows identify trends for not obvious pathological changes and quality of treatment.

Abstract
Although platelets play a central role in haemostasis, the dynamics of platelet counts during haemostatic resuscitation, the response to platelet transfusion, and effects on clinical outcome are poorly described for trauma patients. As a sub-study of the already published randomized controlled RETIC Study "Reversal of Trauma-induced Coagulopathy using First-line Coagulation Factor Concentrates or Fresh-Frozen Plasma" trial, we here analysed whether the type of first-line haemostatic resuscitation influences the frequency of platelet transfusion and determined the effects of platelet transfusion in coagulopathic patients with major trauma. Patients randomly received first-line plasma (FFP) or coagulation factor concentrates (CFC), mainly fibrinogen concentrate. In both groups, platelets were transfused to maintain platelet counts between 50 and 100 × 109 /L. Transfusion rates were significantly higher in the FFP (n = 44) vs. CFC (n = 50) group (FFP 47.7% vs. CFC 26%); p = 0.0335. Logistic regression analysis adjusted for the stratification variables injury severity score (ISS) and brain injury confirmed that first-line FFP therapy increases the odds for platelet transfusion (odds ratio (OR) 5.79 (1.89 to 20.62), p = 0.0036) and this effect was larger than a 16-point increase in ISS (OR 4.33 (2.17 to 9.74), p =0.0001). In conclusion, early fibrinogen supplementation exerted a platelet-saving effect while platelet transfusions did not substantially improve platelet count and might contribute to poor clinical outcome.

Abstract
Following major trauma, sepsis or surgery, some patients exhibit an impaired monocyte inflammatory response that is characterized by a decreased response to a subsequent bacterial challenge. To investigate this poorly understood phenomenon, we adopted an in-vitro model of endotoxin tolerance utilising primary human CD14 + monocytes to focus on the effect of impairment on IκKα/β, a critical part of the NFκB pathway. Impaired monocytes had decreased IκKα mRNA and protein expression and decreased phosphorylation of the IκKα/β complex. The impaired monocyte secretome demonstrated a distinct cytokine/chemokine footprint from the naïve monocyte, and that TNF-α was the most sensitive cytokine or chemokine in this setting of impairment. Inhibition of IκKα/β with a novel selective inhibitor reproduced the impaired monocyte phenotype with decreased production of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-12p70, IL-10, GM-CSF, VEGF, MIP-1β, TNF-β, IFN-α2 and IL-7 in response to an LPS challenge. Surgical patients with infection also exhibited an impaired monocyte phenotype and had decreased SITPEC, TAK1 and MEKK gene expression, which are important for IκKα/β activation. Our results emphasize that impaired monocyte function is, at least in part, related to dysregulated IκKα/β activation, and that IκKα/β is likely involved in mounting a sufficient monocyte inflammatory response. Future studies may wish to focus on adjuvant therapies that augment IκKα/β function to restore monocyte function in this clinically important problem.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The major components of ERAS attenuate the inflammatory response and modulate metabolism in direction of sparing body protein and preserving function. However, these perioperative interventions might have limited effectiveness on postoperative outcomes if preoperative risk factors are not addressed and optimized. RECENT FINDINGS The preoperative metabolic perturbations characterized by insulin resistance and sarcopenia might predispose patients to a higher degree of postoperative catabolism. High-risk populations for such metabolic disturbances include elderly and frail patients, and patients with metabolic syndrome. Research on the effect of prehabilitation on perioperative metabolism is limited, but recent findings suggest that interventions designed to improve insulin sensitivity prior to surgery might represent a promising therapeutic target to minimize surgical complications. SUMMARY The present paper will discuss the metabolic implications of modulating preoperative risk factors with elements of multimodal prehabilitation, such as exercise training and nutrition.

Abstract
This opinion article discusses the increasing attention paid to the role of activating damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in initiation of inflammatory diseases and suppressing/inhibiting DAMPs (SAMPs) in resolution of inflammatory diseases and, consequently, to the future roles of these novel biomarkers as therapeutic targets and therapeutics. Since controlled production of DAMPs and SAMPs is needed to achieve full homeostatic restoration and repair from tissue injury, only their pathological, not their homeostatic, concentrations should be therapeutically tackled. Therefore, distinct caveats are proposed regarding choosing DAMPs and SAMPs for therapeutic purposes. For example, we discuss the need to a priori identify and define a context-dependent “homeostatic DAMP:SAMP ratio” in each case and a “homeostatic window” of DAMP and SAMP concentrations to guarantee a safe treatment modality to patients. Finally, a few clinical examples of how DAMPs and SAMPs might be used as therapeutic targets or therapeutics in the future are discussed, including inhibition of DAMPs in hyperinflammatory processes (e.g., systemic inflammatory response syndrome, as currently observed in Covid-19), administration of SAMPs in chronic inflammatory diseases, inhibition of SAMPs in hyperresolving processes (e.g., compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome), and administration/induction of DAMPs in vaccination procedures and anti-cancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As more patients are surviving the initial effects of traumatic injury clinicians are faced with managing the systemic complications of severe tissue injury. Of these, acute kidney injury (AKI) may be a sentinel complication contributing to adverse outcomes. OBJECTIVE To establish the incidence of AKI in patients admitted to critical care after major trauma, to explore any risk factors and to evaluate the association of AKI with outcomes. DATA SOURCES Systematic search of MEDLINE, Excerpta Medica database and Cochrane library from January 2004 to April 2018. STUDY SELECTION Studies of adult major trauma patients admitted to critical care that applied consensus AKI criteria (risk injury failure loss end stage [RIFLE], AKI network, or kidney disease improving global outcomes) and reported clinical outcomes were assessed (PROSPERO Registration: CRD42017056781). Of the 35 full-text articles selected from the screening, 17 (48.6%) studies were included. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS We followed the PRISMA guidelines and study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa score. The pooled incidence of AKI and relative risk of death were estimated using random-effects models. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Incidence of AKI was the primary outcome. The secondary outcome was study-defined mortality. RESULTS We included 17 articles describing AKI outcomes in 24,267 trauma patients. The pooled incidence of AKI was 20.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 16.5-24.9). Twelve studies reported the breakdown of stages of AKI with 55.7% of patients classified as RIFLE-R or stage 1, 30.3% as RIFLE-I or stage 2, and 14.0% as RIFLE-F or stage 3. The pooled relative risk of death with AKI compared was 3.6 (95% CI, 2.4-5.3). In addition, there was a concordant increase in odds of death among six studies that adjusted for multiple variables (adjusted odds ratio, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.9-3.8; p = <0.01). CONCLUSION Acute kidney injury is common after major trauma and associated with increased mortality. Future research is warranted to reduce the potential for harm associated with this subtype of AKI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Systematic review and meta-analysis, level III.

The Impact of Statins before High-Risk CABG on Postoperative Multiple Organ Function. Cardiol Res Pract 2020; 2020:9519736. [PMID: 32411451 PMCID: PMC7201446 DOI: 10.1155/2020/9519736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2019] [Accepted: 11/06/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The purpose of this cohort study was to investigate the independent relationship between preoperative statin therapy (PST) and postoperative severe multiorgan failure, measured by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) maximum greater than 11, in high-risk patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods The present study is a perspective, single-center, cohort analysis enrolling high-risk patients undergoing CABG from Jan 1, 2018, to Dec 31, 2018, in Beijing Anzhen hospital. Results Among a total of 880 high-risk patients undergoing isolated CABG included in this study, 503 (57.2%) experienced statin therapy before CABG. The SOFA maximum was significantly lower in the PST group compared with the control group (7.8 ± 3.0 v 9.2 ± 3.4, P < 0.0001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated the incidence of the severe multiorgan dysfunction, measured by SOFA maximum ≥11, was dramatically reduced in the PST group (OR, 0.68, 95% CI 0.50-0.92, P=0.013). Furthermore, preoperative statin therapy (PST) might be associated with a decreased risk of postoperative major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events and acute kidney injury, but an increased risk of postoperative hepatic inadequacy. Conclusion SOFA maximum was significantly lower in the PST group compared with the control group and the incidence of the severe multiorgan dysfunction was dramatically reduced in the PST group. The findings of this study might shed new light on questions of positive or negative effects of PST on multiple organ function after high-risk CABG, so as to ultimately improve high-risk patient in-hospital outcomes from CABG.

Abstract
Epigenetic mechanisms including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation, histone modifications (eg, histone acetylation), and microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) have gained much scientific interest in the last decade as regulators of genes expression and cellular function. Epigenetic control is involved in the modulation of inflammation and immunity, and its dysregulation can contribute to cell damage and organ dysfunction. There is growing evidence that epigenetic changes can contribute to the development of multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS), a leading cause of mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). DNA hypermethylation, histone deacetylation, and miRNA dysregulation can influence cytokine and immune cell expression and promote endothelial dysfunction, apoptosis, and end-organ injury, contributing to the development of MODS after a critical injury. Epigenetics processes, particularly miRNAs, are emerging as potential biomarkers of severity of disease, organ damage, and prognostic factors in critical illness. Targeting epigenetics modifications can represent a novel therapeutic approach in critical care. Inhibitors of histone deacetylases (HDCAIs) with anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic activities represent the first class of drugs that reverse epigenetics modifications with human application. Further studies are required to acquire a complete knowledge of epigenetics processes, full understanding of their individual variability, to expand their use as accurate and reliable biomarkers and as safe target to prevent or attenuate MODS in critical disease.

Abstract
The aims of the present study were to examine the clinical significance of serum microRNA-27a (miR-27a) levels in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) caused by acute paraquat poisoning and to investigate the correlation between miR-27a and interleukin (IL)-10. A total of 82 patients with MODS induced by acute paraquat poisoning and 88 healthy controls were recruited in the present study. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was used to measure serum miR-27a expression levels in patients with MODS and the control group. IL-10 serum levels were determined using ELISA. Decreased serum miR-27a level and increased IL-10 expression levels were detected in patients with paraquat poisoning compared with healthy controls (P<0.001). A moderately negative correlation was identified between the serum expression levels of miR-27a and IL-10 (r=-0.5225; P<0.001). miR-27a expression level was found to be associated with blood urea nitrogen, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, arterial blood lactic acid, and the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II score (APACHE II; P<0.05). The area under the curve for miR-27a was 0.946, with a sensitivity of 86.6% and specificity of 87.5% at a cutoff value of 2.10. The non-survival patient group had lower miR-27a expression levels compared with the survival group (P<0.01). Multivariate Cox regression analyses suggested miR-27a expression level and APACHE II score were independent prognostic factors for 30-day mortality (P<0.01). The present results suggested that serum miR-27a level may be a potential novel diagnostic and prognostic factor for MODS caused by paraquat poisoning. Collectively, miR-27a may be involved in the process of MODS induced by paraquat poisoning by regulating the inflammatory response.

Abstract
This paper presents an evidence-based strategy for improving clinical outcomes in COVID-19. Recommendations are based on the phases of the disease, because optimal interventions for one phase may not be appropriate for a different phase. The four phases addressed are: Prevention, Infection, Inflammation and Recovery. Underlying this phased approach is recognition of emerging evidence for two different components of pathophysiology, early infection and late stage severe complications. These two aspects of the disease suggest two different patterns of clinical emphasis that seem on the surface to be not entirely concordant. We describe the application of therapeutic strategies and appropriate tactics that address four main stages of disease progression for COVID-19. Emerging evidence in COVID-19 suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 virus may both evade the innate immune response and kill macrophages. Delayed innate immune response and a depleted population of macrophages can theoretically result in a blunted antigen presentation, delaying and diminishing activation of the adaptive immune response. Thus, one clinical strategy involves supporting patient innate and adaptive immune responses early in the time course of illness, with the goal of improving the timeliness, readiness, and robustness of both the innate and adaptive immune responses. At the other end of the disease pathology spectrum, risk of fatality in COVID-19 is driven by excessive and persistent upregulation of inflammatory mechanisms associated with cytokine storm. Thus, the second clinical strategy is to prevent or mitigate excessive inflammatory response to prevent the cytokine storm associated with high mortality risk. Clinical support for immune system pathogen clearance mechanisms involves obligate activation of immune response components that are inherently inflammatory. This puts the goals of the first clinical strategy (immune activation) potentially at odds with the goals of the second strategy(mitigation of proinflammatory effects). This creates a need for discernment about the time course of the illness and with that, understanding of which components of an overall strategy to apply at each phase of the time course of the illness. We review evidence from early observational studies and the existing literature on both outcomes and mechanisms of disease, to inform a phased approach to support the patient at risk for infection, with infection, with escalating inflammation during infection, and at risk of negative sequelae as they move into recovery.

Abstract
Purpose One of the leading causes of morbidity and early-age mortality across the globe is trauma. It disrupts immune system homeostasis and intensely affects the innate and adaptive immune responses, predisposing patients to posttrauma complications and poor outcomes. Most of the studies on posttrauma cellular immune response have been centered on the T helper-1-T helper-2 imbalances after trauma. This study was conducted to understand the role of circulating novel T helper cells in the acute posttraumatic period and clinical outcome of trauma patients. Materials and methods Signature cytokines and transcription factors of circulating Th (T helper)-9, Th-17, Th-22, and regulatory T helper cells were studied using flowcytometry along with serum biomarkers in 49 patients with polytraumatic injuries admitted to a tertiary care hospital. The patients were followed up until their outcome. The results were correlated with their clinical outcomes. Results In patients who died, higher nTreg, iTreg, Tr1 (early-phase), and higher IRF4+Th-9, IL17+ Th-17, and RORγT+ Th-17 (mid-phase) were seen. However, by the late phase, only RORγT+ Th-17 remained higher. Serum IL-6 and PCT were found to be consistently higher. In survivors, higher Th-3 (early phase), Th-22 (mid-phase), and IRF4+Th-9, IL17+ Th-17, nTreg, Th-3 (late phase) were observed to have played a protective role. Serum IL-2, IL-4, IL-17A and IL-22 were significantly higher in survivors. Conclusion Different T helper subsets were observed to be playing pathogenic and protective roles in different phases of trauma and could be used for early prognostication and make way for noninvasive management of critically injured trauma patients by immunomodulation.

Abstract
Chronic inflammatory liver disease with an acute deterioration of liver function is named acute-on-chronic inflammation and could be regulated by the metabolic impairments related to the liver dysfunction. In this way, the experimental cholestasis model is excellent for studying metabolism in both types of inflammatory responses. Along the evolution of this model, the rats develop biliary fibrosis and an acute-on-chronic decompensation. The acute decompensation of the liver disease is associated with encephalopathy, ascites, acute renal failure, an acute phase response and a splanchnic increase of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. This multiorgan inflammatory dysfunction is mainly associated with a splanchnic and systemic metabolic switch with dedifferentiation of the epithelial, endothelial and mesothelial splanchnic barriers. Furthermore, a splanchnic infiltration by mast cells occurs, which suggests that these cells could carry out a compensatory metabolic role, especially through the modulation of hepatic and extrahepatic mitochondrial-peroxisome crosstalk. For this reason, we propose the hypothesis that mastocytosis in the acute-on-chronic hepatic insufficiency could represent the development of a survival metabolic mechanisms that mitigates the noxious effect of the hepatic functional deficit. A better understanding the pathophysiological response of the mast cells in liver insufficiency and portal hypertension would help to find new pathways for decreasing the high morbidity and mortality rate of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isoform-specific histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) MC1568 and ACY1083 are comparable to the non-selective HDACI valproic acid (VPA) in improving survival in rodents undergoing lethal hemorrhage. However, the organ-specific properties of isoform-specific HDACIs have not been fully evaluated. Also, whether they can act synergistically is not known. We hypothesized that isoform-specific HDACIs are superior to VPA in attenuating intestinal injury and act synergistically when coadministered. METHODS Sprague Dawley rats were hemorrhaged (40% of total blood volume) and randomized to receive (n=4 per group) (1) MC1568 (5 mg/kg), (2) ACY1083 (30 mg/kg), (3) MC1568+ACY1083 (combination: 5 mg/kg + 30 mg/kg, respectively), (4) VPA (250 mg/kg), or (5) normal saline (NS; vehicle; 250 μL). Animals were observed for 3 hours, after which blood samples were collected and samples of the ileum were harvested. Expression of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant 1 (CINC-1) was assessed in the tissues using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Intestinal cleaved caspase 3 (c-caspase 3) levels were assessed as a marker of apoptosis, and histologic sections of the ileum were examined for signs of bowel injury. Levels of IL-1β and TNF-α were also measured in the serum as global markers of inflammation. RESULTS Treatments with MC1568, ACY1083, MC1568+ACY1083, and VPA were associated with decreased IL-1β levels in the intestine and serum compared with NS. IL-1β and TNF-α levels were significantly lower in the ACY1083 group compared with the VPA group. CINC-1 levels were significantly lower in the isoform-specific HDACI groups compared with the NS; however, no significant differences were seen with VPA. All treatment groups had a lower expression of intestinal c-caspase 3 compared with NS. Furthermore, MC1568 and ACY1083 groups had lower apoptosis compared with the VPA group. Bowel injury scores were significantly lower in the isoform-specific HDACI groups compared with the NS group; however, the attenuation in the VPA-treated animals did not reach statistical significance. DISCUSSION Isoform-specific HDACIs provide superior intestinal protection compared with VPA in a rodent model of hemorrhagic shock. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Preclinical study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who sustain traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concomitant hemorrhagic shock (HS) are at high risk of high-magnitude inflammation which can lead to poor outcomes and death. Blood purification by hemoadsorption (HA) offers an alternative intervention to reduce inflammation after injury. We tested the hypothesis that HA would reduce mortality in a rat model of TBI and HS. METHODS Male Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to a combined injury of a controlled cortical impact to their brain and pressure-controlled HS. Animals were subsequently instrumented with an extracorporeal blood circuit that passed through a cartridge for sham or experimental treatment. In experimental animals, the treatment cartridge was filled with proprietary beads (Cytosorbents, Monmouth Junction, NJ) that removed circulating molecules between 5 kDa and 60 kDa. Sham rats had equivalent circulation but no blood purification. Serial blood samples were analyzed with multiplex technology to quantify changes in a trauma-relevant panel of immunologic mediators. The primary outcome was survival to 96 hours postinjury. RESULTS Hemoadsorption improved survival from 47% in sham-treated rats to 86% in HA-treated rats. There were no treatment-related changes in histologic appearance. Hemoadsorption affected biomarker concentrations both during the treatment and over the ensuing 4 days after injury. Distinct changes in biomarker concentrations were also measured in survivor and nonsurvivor rats from the entire cohort of rats indicating biomarker patterns associated with survival and death after injury. CONCLUSION Blood purification by nonselective HA is an effective intervention to prevent death in a combined TBI/HS rat model. Hemoadsorption changed circulating concentrations of multiple inmmunologically active mediators during the treatment time frame and after treatment. Hemoadsorption has been safely implemented in human patients with sepsis and may be a treatment option after injury.

Abstract
Polytrauma is a common emergency condition in small animals and is frequently associated with higher morbidity and mortality rates compared to minor trauma. Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) is a major complication of extensive traumatic injury, carrying a high risk of death despite intensive care treatment. Little is known about the prevalence and the prognostic impact of MODS in feline polytrauma. The current study aimed to prospectively evaluate the occurrence and the prognostic significance of organ dysfunction at admission in a population of polytraumatized cats. Cats with polytrauma requiring intensive care unit hospitalization were included and categorized according to outcome (survivors/non-survivors). Clinical and clinicopathological data, including scores of disease severity [Animal Trauma Triage Score (ATTS), APPLEfast, and APPLEfull], selected organ dysfunction and presence of MODS were evaluated upon admission, and analyzed with respect to mortality. Non-parametric statistics was performed and P < 0.05 was considered significant. Thirty-eight cats met the inclusion criteria: 8/38 (21%) had penetrating trauma, while 30/38 (79%) had blunt trauma. The overall in-hospital mortality was 37% (14/38). Cats with evidence of MODS upon admission had significantly higher frequency of death compared to cats without MODS (9/14 vs. 2/24 P = 0.0004). Hemostatic dysfunction, respiratory dysfunction, and MODS upon admission were significantly associated with mortality in the univariate logistic regression analysis (P = 0.005, P = 0.001, P = 0.001, respectively). The values of APPLEfast, APPLEfull, and ATTS were independently associated with a higher risk of death and positively correlated with the number of dysfunctional organs (P = 0.025, P = 0.004, P = 0.003, r = 0.57, P = 0.0002; r = 0.59, P = 0.0001; r = 0.55, P = 0.0003, respectively). Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome is a common complication of feline polytrauma and its development is associated with increased disease severity and worse outcomes. The presence of hemostatic dysfunction and respiratory dysfunction upon admission is associated with a higher risk of death. The ATTS and the APPLE scores are useful prognostic tools for the assessment of cats with polytrauma.

[PMID: 31058236 PMCID: PMC6461142 DOI: 10.1136/tsaco-2018-000217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2018] [Revised: 02/08/2019] [Accepted: 02/28/2019] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Complementopathy (rapid complement activation and consumption after trauma) has been reported in trauma patients, but the underlying mechanism of these phenomena and their clinical significance remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the complement/complement pathway activation and identify the association of complement activation with clinical outcomes in trauma patients. Methods We studied 33 trauma patients with mean Injury Severity Score of 25, and 25 healthy volunteers. Sera were collected on patients’ arrival at the emergency department, as well as 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 days after trauma, to measure the levels of terminal complement activation product soluble C5b-9 (sC5b-9) by ELISA. In addition, the functional complement activation pathway was evaluated using a commercial complement system screening kit. Results Serum concentrations of sC5b-9 (complement terminal pathway activity) were significantly increased in trauma patients throughout the entire observation period except on day 1. Complement terminal activities were significantly higher in 27 of 33 patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) than non-SIRS patients on day 2, day 5, and day 7. Increased serum levels of sC5b-9 positively correlated with SIRS. Functional complement analysis revealed that the classical pathway was the predominant pathway responsible for complement activation. Burn patients tended to have a greater and prolonged classical pathway activation than non-burn patients, and burn injury and blunt injury were associated with higher blood levels of sC5b-9 than penetrating injury. Discussion Early complement activation through the classical pathway after trauma is observed and positively correlated with the development of SIRS. Thus, monitoring of the complement system might be beneficial in the care of critically injured patients. Level of evidence III. Study type Prognostic.

Abstract
Background While the incidence and aspects of pneumonia in ICU patients has been extensively discussed in the literature, studies on the occurrence of pneumonia in severely injured patients are rare. The aim of the present study is to elucidate factors associated with the occurrence of pneumonia in severely injured patients with thoracic trauma. Setting Level-I University Trauma Centres associated with the TraumaRegister DGU®. Methods A total of 1162 severely injured adult patients with thoracic trauma documented in the TraumaRegister DGU® (TR-DGU) were included in this study. Demographic data, injury severity, duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), duration of ICU stay, occurrence of pneumonia, bronchoalveolar lavage, aspiration, pathogen details, and incidences of mortality were evaluated. Statistical evaluation was performed using SPSS (Version 25.0, SPSS, Inc.) software. Results The overall incidence of pneumonia was 27.5%. Compared to patients without pneumonia, patients with pneumonia had sustained more severe injuries (mean ISS: 32.6 vs. 25.4), were older (mean age: 51.3 vs. 47.5) and spent longer periods under MV (mean: 368.9 h vs. 114.9 h). Age, sex (male), aspiration, and duration of MV were all independent predictors for pneumonia occurrence in a multivariate analysis. The cut-off point for duration of MV that best discriminated between patients who would and would not develop pneumonia during their hospital stay was 102 h. The extent of thoracic trauma (AISthorax), ISS, and presence of pulmonary comorbidities did not show significant associations to pneumonia incidence in our multivariate analysis. No significant difference in mortality between patients with and without pneumonia was observed. Conclusions Likelihood of pneumonia increases with age, aspiration, and duration of MV. These parameters were not found to be associated with differences in outcomes between patients with and without pneumonia. Future studies should focus on independent parameters to more clearly identify severely injured subgroups with a high risk of developing pneumonia. Level of evidence Level II - Retrospective medical record review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The morbidity and mortality of polytrauma patients are substantially influenced by the extent of the posttraumatic inflammatory reaction. Studies have shown that TIMP‑1 and MMP‑9 play a major role in posttraumatic immune disorder in genome-wide mRNA microarray analyses. Furthermore, both showed differential gene expression profiles depending on the clinical parameters massive blood transfusion and traumatic brain injury. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate TIMP‑1 and MMP‑9 serum concentrations in polytraumatized patients depending on the clinical parameters massive blood transfusion and traumatic brain injury in the early posttraumatic phase. MATERIAL AND METHODS Polytrauma patients (≥18 years) with an "Injury Severity Score" (ISS) ≥ 16 points were enrolled in this prospective study. Serum levels of TIMP‑1 and MMP‑9 were quantified (at 0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Groups were divided according to the clinical parameter massive blood transfusion (≥10 red blood cell units [RBC units] in the first 24-hour posttrauma) and traumatic brain injury (CCT postive [cranial computed tomography]). RESULTS Following massive blood transfusion (n = 21; 50 ± 15.7 years; ISS 39 ± 12.8 points) patients showed overall significantly increased TIMP‑1 levels (p = 0.003) and significantly higher TIMP‑1 values after 12-72 h. Traumatic brain injury patients (n = 28; 44 ± 19 years; ISS 42 ± 10 points) showed significantly higher MMP‑9 levels (p = 0.049) in the posttraumatic period. CONCLUSION Polytraumatized patients who received massive blood transfusions following major trauma showed significantly higher TIMP‑1 levels than patients who did not receive massive transfusions. This seems to be an expression of a massively excessive inflammatory reaction and therefore represents a substantial factor in the pathogenesis of severe posttraumatic immune dysfunction in this collective. Furthermore, the significant increase in MMP‑9 with accompanying traumatic brain injury reflects the pivotal role of matrix metalloproteinases in the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury.

Abstract
Inflammation is an adaptive process to the noxious stimuli that the human body is constantly exposed to. From the local inflammatory response to a full-blown systemic inflammation, a wide complex sequence of events occurs. Persistent immunosuppression and catabolism may ensue, until multiple organ failure finally sets in. And since clinically useful and specific biomarkers are lacking, diagnosis may come late. A thorough understanding of these events (how they begin, how they evolve, and how to modulate them) is imperative, but as yet poorly studied. This review aims to consolidate current knowledge of these events so that the management of these patients is not only evidence-based, but also built on an understanding of the inner workings of the human body in health and in disease.

Abstract
In critically ill patients, disruption of intestinal epithelial cell function occurs due to exposure of the epithelium to toxic internal and external inflammatory stimuli, which are key factors that trigger sepsis and multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). A greater understanding of how trauma and gut failure lead to sepsis and progression to MODS is much needed. In this issue of the JCI, Armacki and colleagues identify mechanisms by which thirty-eight-negative kinase 1 (TNK1) promotes the progression from intestinal apoptosis and gut failure to bacterial translocation, sepsis, and MODS. Moreover, the results of this study suggest TNK1 as a potential therapeutic target to prevent sepsis and MODS.

Abstract
Trauma remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Hemorrhagic shock and direct injury to vital organs are responsible for early mortality whereas most delayed deaths are secondary to complex pathophysiological processes. These processes result from imbalanced systemic reactions to the multiple aggressions associated with trauma. Trauma results in the uncontrolled local and systemic release of endogenous mediators acting as danger signals [damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs)]. Their recognition by the innate immune system triggers a pro-inflammatory immune response paradoxically associated with concomitant immunosuppression. These responses, ranging in intensity from inappropriate to overwhelming, promote the propagation of injuries to remote organs, leading to multiple organ failure and death. Some of the numerous DAMPs released after trauma trigger the assembly of intracellular multiprotein complexes named inflammasomes. Once activated by a ligand, inflammasomes lead to the activation of a caspase. Activated caspases allow the release of mature forms of interleukin-1β and interleukin-18 and trigger a specific pro-inflammatory cell death termed pyroptosis. Accumulating data suggest that inflammasomes, mainly NLRP3, NLRP1, and AIM2, are involved in the generation of tissue damage and immune dysfunction after trauma. Following trauma-induced DAMP(s) recognition, inflammasomes participate in multiple ways in the development of exaggerated systemic and organ-specific inflammatory response, contributing to organ damage. Inflammasomes are involved in the innate responses to traumatic brain injury and contribute to the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Inflammasomes may also play a role in post-trauma immunosuppression mediated by dysregulated monocyte functions. Characterizing the involvement of inflammasomes in the pathogenesis of post-trauma syndrome is a key issue as they may be potential therapeutic targets. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the roles of inflammasomes in trauma.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) occurs in various clinical settings, such as transplantation, acute mesenteric arterial occlusion, trauma, and shock. I/R injury causes severe systemic inflammation, leading to multiple organ dysfunction associated with high mortality. The ubiquitin proteasome pathway has been indicated in the regulation of inflammation, particularly through the NF-κB signaling pathway. PYR-41 is a small molecular compound that selectively inhibits ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1. A mouse model of intestinal I/R injury by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 45 min was performed to evaluate the effect of PYR-41 treatment on organ injury and inflammation. PYR-41 was administered intravenously at the beginning of reperfusion. Blood and organ tissues were harvested at 4 h after reperfusion. PYR-41 treatment improved the morphological structure of gut and lung after I/R, as judged by hematoxylin and eosin staining. It also reduced the number of apoptotic terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end-labeling-positive cells and caspase-3 activity in the organs. PYR-41 treatment decreased the expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β as well as chemokines keratinocyte chemoattractant and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 in the gut and lung, which leads to inhibition of neutrophils infiltrating into these organs. The serum levels of IL-6, aspartate aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase were reduced by the treatment. The IκB degradation in the gut increased after I/R was inhibited by PYR-41 treatment. Thus, ubiquitination may be a potential therapeutic target for treating patients suffering from intestinal I/R. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Excessive inflammation contributes to organ injury from intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in many clinical conditions. NF-κB signaling is very important in regulating inflammatory response. In an experimental model of gut I/R injury, we demonstrate that administration of a pharmacological inhibitor of ubiquitination process attenuates NF-κB activation, leading to reduction of inflammation, tissue damage, and apoptosis in the gut and lungs. Therefore, ubiquitination process may serve as a therapeutic target for treating patients with intestinal I/R injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe injury can lead to immune dysfunction and predispose patients to infection and death. Micro-RNAs regulate gene expression and may act as biomarkers for susceptibility to infection. The aim of this study was to examine the temporal and differential expression of previously identified dysregulated micro-RNAs in patients with severe injury. METHODS Fourteen severely injured patients requiring transfusion were enrolled prospectively in this study approved by our institutional review board. Inclusion criteria consisted of adult patients deemed clinically to be in hemorrhagic shock necessitating transfusion in the acute phase of their injury care. Peripheral blood samples were obtained after admission to the surgical intensive care unit and again at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after admission. The samples obtained at arrival to the intensive care unit and 24 and 48 hours later were analyzed in this data set. Fourteen healthy volunteers served as controls. The 10 dysregulated micro-RNAs identified in a prior study at the 12-hour time point and important genes in innate immunity were measured using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS The participants were 21-77 years old (median, 42), 78% were male, and their Injury Severity Score ranged from 11 to 43 (median, 27); 11 had blunt and 3 had penetrating injuries. Three were intubated and 5 had received blood products before arrival at the hospital. Base deficit on hospital admission was 3-20 (median, 9). All patients required blood transfusion secondary to blood loss sustained during injury. Eleven of the 14 patients went directly to the operating room from the emergency department for control of the source of hemorrhage. Survival to discharge was 93%. Seven patients developed infection. Compared with healthy controls, miR-106a was downregulated at all time points compared with controls (P < .05). miR-618 was upregulated in initial blood draws (P < .05) and at 24 and 48 hours (P < .06). Tumor necrosis factor α and human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) were downregulated, and interleukin-10 and PD-L1 were upregulated (P < .05). In patients who developed infection, miR-106a levels appeared more downregulated than those who did not develop infection. CONCLUSION miR-106a was downregulated in trauma patients after major injury for up to 48 hours after intensive care unit admission. Tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin-10 are targeted by miR-106a, which are regulators of the immune response. Manipulation of micro-RNA expression may be a therapeutic target for immune dysfunction.

Abstract
Background Siegesbeckia pubescens Makino (SP) is one of the important plant origins for the anti-inflammatory Chinese herbal medicine of Siegesbeckiae Herba. The current investigations indicated that the anti-inflammatory effects of SP were associated with the toll-like receptors (TLRs)-mediated nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways. Methods Raw 264.7 macrophages were pretreated with the 50% ethanol extract of SP (SPE, 50–200 µg/mL) and then co-treated with Pam3CSK4 (200 ng/mL) for another 12 h. The inhibitory effect of SPE on Pam3CSK4-stimulated NO release and post-inflammatory cytokines secretions were determined using Griess reagent and Elisa kits, respectively. The influence of SPE on NF-κB and MAPKs signaling relevant proteins was measured by Western blotting analysis, while the intracellular nitric oxide (NO) generation and NF-κB/p65 nuclear translocation were determined using Leica TCS SP8 laser scanning confocal microscope. Moreover, the effect of SPE on luciferase reporter gene in NF-κB-luc DNA transfected raw 264.7 cells was determined using the Dual-Glo luciferase assay system kit. Results SPE dose-dependently (50–200 µg/mL) attenuated Pam3CSK4-induced NO release, post-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α and MCP-1) secretions and intracellular NO generation in raw 264.7 cells. Biologically, SPE suppressed Pam3CSK4-induced expressions of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), phosphorylation of NF-κB/p65 and IκBα, but did not significantly show effect on the proteins involved in MAPKs signaling (p38, ERK and JNK). The results were further confirmed by NF-κB-luc reporter gene assay and p65 nuclear translocation assay. Conclusions In conclusion, SPE ameliorated Pam3CSK4-induced inflammation in raw 264.7 cells through suppressing TLR 1/2-mediated NF-κB activation.

Valproic acid induces prosurvival transcriptomic changes in swine subjected to traumatic injury and hemorrhagic shock. J Trauma Acute Care Surg 2018; 84:642-649.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Valproic acid (VPA) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor that improves outcomes in large animal models of trauma. However, its protective mechanism of action is not completely understood. We sought to characterize the genetic changes induced by VPA treatment following traumatic injuries. METHODS Six female Yorkshire swine were subjected to traumatic brain injury (controlled cortical impact), polytrauma (liver and splenic laceration, rib fracture, rectus crush), and hemorrhagic shock (HS, 40% total blood volume). Following 2 hours of HS, animals were randomized to resuscitation with normal saline (NS) or NS + 150 mg/kg of intravenous VPA (n = 3/cohort, 18 samples total). Blood samples were collected for isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells at three distinct time points: baseline, 6 hours following injuries, and on postinjury day 1. RNA was extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and sequenced. Differential expression analysis (false discovery rate < 0.001 and p value <0.001) and gene set enrichment (Panther Gene Ontology and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis) was used to compare VPA to non-VPA-treated animals. RESULTS A total of 628 differentially expressed RNA transcripts were identified, 412 of which were used for analysis. There was no difference between treatment groups at baseline. The VPA-induced genetic changes were similar at 6 hours and on postinjury day 1. Upregulated genes were associated with gene expression (p 2.13E-34), cellular development (1.19E-33), cellular growth and proliferation (1.25E-30), and glucocorticoid receptor signaling (8.6E-21). Downregulated genes were associated with cell cycle checkpoint regulation (3.64E-22), apoptosis signaling (6.54E-21), acute phase response signaling (5.84E-23), and the inflammasome pathway (1.7E-19). CONCLUSION In injured swine, VPA increases the expression of genes associated with cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation and decreases those associated with cell death and inflammation. These genetic changes could explain the superior clinical outcomes in VPA-treated animals, including smaller brain lesion size and improved neurologic recovery.

Abstract
Trauma can affect any individual at any location and at any time over a lifespan. The disruption of macrobarriers and microbarriers induces instant activation of innate immunity. The subsequent complex response, designed to limit further damage and induce healing, also represents a major driver of complications and fatal outcome after injury. This Review aims to provide basic concepts about the posttraumatic response and is focused on the interactive events of innate immunity at frequent sites of injury: the endothelium at large, and sites within the lungs, inside and outside the brain and at the gut barrier.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the leading cause of mortality in the United States, trauma management have improved drastically over the past few decades with improved resuscitation and hemorrhage control. Stem cells are being used in an attempt to augment healing from trauma. DATA SOURCES PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for published and registered pre-clinical and clinical trials for the application of stem cells to AKI, ARDS, shock, infection, TBI, wound healing, and bone healing. CONCLUSIONS Stem cell therapy for augmentation of healing traumatic injuries appears safe, as demonstrated by completed phase I/II trials. Further large scale studies are needed to assess the clinical efficacy.

Early Definitive Fracture Fixation is Safely Performed in the Presence of an Open Abdomen in Multiply Injured Patients. J Orthop Trauma 2017; 31:624-630.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the safety and feasibility of performing definitive fracture fixation in multiply injured patients in the presence of an open abdomen after laparotomy. DESIGN Retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING Level-I academic trauma center. PATIENTS Adult polytrauma patients with the presence of an open abdomen after "damage control" laparotomy and associated major fractures of long bones, acetabulum, pelvis, or spine, requiring surgical repair (n = 81). INTERVENTION Timing of definitive fracture fixation in relation to the timing of abdominal wall closure. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Incidence of orthopedic surgical site infections. RESULTS During a 15-year time window from January 1, 2000 until December 31, 2014, we identified a cohort of 294 consecutive polytrauma patients with an open abdomen after laparotomy. Surgical fixation of associated fractures was performed after the index laparotomy in 81 patients. In group 1 (n = 32), fracture fixation occurred significantly sooner despite a concurrent open abdomen, compared with group 2 (n = 49) with abdominal wall closure before fixation (mean 4.4 vs. 11.8 days; P = 0.01). The incidence of orthopaedic surgical site infections requiring a surgical revision was significantly lower in group 1 (3.1%) compared to group 2 (30.6%; P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Definitive fracture fixation in the presence of an open abdomen is performed safely and associated with a significant decrease in clinically relevant surgical site infections, compared with delaying fracture fixation until abdominal wall closure. These data suggest that the strategy of imposing a time delay in orthopaedic procedures while awaiting abdominal wall closure is unjustified. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
In this research agenda on the acute and critical care management of trauma patients, we concentrate on the major factors leading to death, namely haemorrhage and traumatic brain injury (TBI). In haemostasis biology, the results of randomised controlled trials have led to the therapeutic focus moving away from the augmentation of coagulation factors (such as recombinant factor VIIa) and towards fibrinogen supplementation and administration of antifibrinolytics such as tranexamic acid. Novel diagnostic techniques need to be evaluated to determine whether an individualised precision approach is superior to current empirical practice. The timing and efficacy of platelet transfusions remain in question, while new blood products need to be developed and evaluated, including whole blood variants, lyophilised products and novel red cell storage modalities. The current cornerstones of TBI management are intracranial pressure control, maintenance of cerebral perfusion pressure and avoidance of secondary insults (such as hypotension, hypoxaemia, hyperglycaemia and pyrexia). Therapeutic hypothermia and decompressive craniectomy are controversial therapies. Further research into these strategies should focus on identifying which subgroups of patients may benefit from these interventions. Prediction of the long-term outcome early after TBI remains challenging. Early magnetic resonance imaging has recently been evaluated for predicting the long-term outcome in mild and severe TBI. Novel biomarkers may also help in outcome prediction and may predict chronic neurological symptoms. For trauma in general, rehabilitation is complex and multidimensional, and the optimal timing for commencement of rehabilitation needs investigation. We propose priority areas for clinical trials in the next 10 years.
