Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare early outcomes and 24-hour survival after LVR with the novel polyethylene glycol-20k-based crystalloid (PEG-20k), WB, or hextend in a preclinical model of lethal HS. BACKGROUND Posttraumatic HS is a major cause of preventable death. Current resuscitation strategies focus on restoring oxygen-carrying capacity (OCC) and coagulation with blood products. Our lab shows that PEG-20k is an effective non-sanguineous, LVR solution in acute models of HS through mechanisms targeting cell swelling-induced microcirculatory failure. METHODS Male pigs underwent splenectomy followed by controlled hemorrhage until lactate reached 7.5-8.5 mmol/L. They were randomized to receive LVR with PEG-20k, WB, or Hextend. Surviving animals were recovered 4 hours post-LVR. Outcomes included 24-hour survival rates, mean arterial pressure, lactate, hemoglobin, and estimated intravascular volume changes. RESULTS Twenty-four-hour survival rates were 100%, 16.7%, and 0% in the PEG-20k, WB, and Hextend groups, respectively (P = 0.001). PEG-20k significantly restored mean arterial press, intravascular volume, and capillary perfusion to baseline, compared to other groups. This caused complete lactate clearance despite decreased OCC. Neurological function was normal after next-day recovery in PEG-20k resuscitated pigs. CONCLUSION Superior early and 24-hour outcomes were observed with PEG-20k LVR compared to WB and Hextend in a preclinical porcine model of lethal HS, despite decreased OCC from substantial volume-expansion. These findings demonstrate the importance of enhancing microcirculatory perfusion in early resuscitation strategies.

Abstract
Trauma remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among all age groups in the United States. Hemorrhagic shock and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are major causes of preventable death in trauma. Initial treatment involves fluid resuscitation to improve the intravascular volume. Although crystalloids may provide volume expansion, they do not have any pro-survival properties. Furthermore, aggressive fluid resuscitation can provoke a severe inflammatory response and worsen clinical outcomes. Due to logistical constraints, however, definitive resuscitation with blood products is often not feasible in the prehospital setting-highlighting the importance of adjunctive therapies. In recent years, histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) have shown promise as pharmacologic agents for use in both trauma and sepsis. In this review, we discuss the role of histone deacetylases (HDACs) and pharmacologic agents that inhibit them (HDACis). We also highlight the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of action of HDACis in hemorrhagic shock, TBI, polytrauma, and sepsis. With further investigation and translation, HDACis have the potential to be a high-impact adjunctive therapy to traditional resuscitation.

Abstract
Single trauma injuries or isolated fractures are often manageable and generally heal without complications. In contrast, high-energy trauma results in multi/poly-trauma injury patterns presenting imbalanced pro- and anti- inflammatory responses often leading to immune dysfunction. These injuries often exhibit delayed healing, leading to fibrosis of injury sites and delayed healing of fractures depending on the intensity of the compounding traumas. Immune dysfunction is accompanied by a temporal shift in the innate and adaptive immune cells distribution, triggered by the overwhelming release of an arsenal of inflammatory mediators such as complements, cytokines and damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) from necrotic cells. Recent studies have implicated this dysregulated inflammation in the poor prognosis of polytraumatic injuries, however, interventions focusing on immunomodulating inflammatory cellular composition and activation, if administered incorrectly, can result in immune suppression and unintended outcomes. Immunomodulation therapy is promising but should be conducted with consideration for the spatial and temporal distribution of the immune cells during impaired healing. This review describes the current state of knowledge in the spatiotemporal distribution patterns of immune cells at various stages during musculoskeletal wound healing, with a focus on recent advances in the field of Osteoimmunology, a study of the interface between the immune and skeletal systems, in long bone fractures. The goals of this review are to (1) discuss wound and fracture healing processes of normal and delayed healing in skeletal muscles and long bones; (2) provide a balanced perspective on temporal distributions of immune cells and skeletal cells during healing; and (3) highlight recent therapeutic interventions used to improve fracture healing. This review is intended to promote an understanding of the importance of inflammation during normal and delayed wound and fracture healing. Knowledge gained will be instrumental in developing novel immunomodulatory approaches for impaired healing.

Abstract
Chronic stress and accelerated aging have been shown to impact the inflammatory response and related outcomes like sepsis and organ failure, but data are lacking in the trauma literature. The purpose of this study was to investigate potential relationships between pretrauma stress and posttrauma outcomes. The hypothesis was that pretrauma chronic stress accelerates aging, which increases susceptibility to posttrauma sepsis and organ failure. In this prospective, correlational study, chronic stress and accelerated biologic aging were compared to the occurrence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, and organ failure in trauma patients aged 18-44 years. Results supported the hypothesis with significant overall associations between susceptibility to sepsis and accelerated biologic aging (n = 142). There were also significant negative associations between mean cytokine levels and chronic stress. The strongest association was found between mean interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), r(101) = -0.28), p = .004. Significant negative associations were found between mean cytokine levels, IL-12p70, r(108) = -0.20, p = .034; and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), r(108) = -0.20, p = .033, and positive life events via the behavioral measure of chronic stress. Results may help identify individuals at increased risk for poor outcomes of trauma and inform interventions that may reduce the risk for sepsis and organ failure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Organ dysfunction remains a major cause of morbidity after trauma. The development of organ dysfunction is determined by the inflammatory response, in which neutrophils are important effector cells. A femoral fracture particularly predisposes for the development of organ dysfunction. This study investigated the chronologic relation between neutrophil characteristics and organ dysfunction in trauma patients with a femoral fracture. METHODS Patients with a femoral fracture presenting at the University Medical Center Utrecht between 2007 and 2013 were included. Data of neutrophil characteristics from standard hematological analyzers were recorded on a daily basis until the 28th day of hospital stay or until discharge. Generalized Estimating Equations were used to compare outcome groups. RESULTS In total 157 patients were analyzed, of whom 81 had polytrauma and 76 monotrauma. Overall mortality within 90 days was 6.4% (n = 10). Eleven patients (7.0%) developed organ dysfunction. In patients who developed organ dysfunction a significant increase in neutrophil count (P = 0.024), a significant increase in neutrophil cell size (P = 0.026), a significant increase in neutrophil complexity (P < 0.004), and a significant decrease in neutrophil lobularity (P < 0.001) were seen after trauma. The rise in neutrophil cell size preceded the clinical manifestation of organ dysfunction in every patient. CONCLUSION Patients who develop organ dysfunction postinjury show changes in neutrophil characteristics before organ dysfunction becomes clinically evident. These findings regarding post-traumatic organ dysfunction may contribute to the development of new prognostic tools for immune-mediated complications in trauma patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, etiologic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients often develop infectious complications after severe trauma. No biomarkers exist that enable early identification of patients who are at risk. Neutrophils are important immune cells that combat these infections by phagocytosis and killing of pathogens. Analysis of neutrophil function used to be laborious and was therefore not applicable in routine diagnostics. Hence, we developed a quick and point-of-care method to assess a critical part of neutrophil function, neutrophil phagosomal acidification. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this method was able to analyze neutrophil functionality in severely injured patients and whether a relation with the development of infectious complications was present. RESULTS Fifteen severely injured patients (median ISS of 33) were included, of whom 6 developed an infection between day 4 and day 9 after trauma. The injury severity score did not significantly differ between patients who developed an infection and patients who did not (p = 0.529). Patients who developed an infection showed increased acidification immediately after trauma (p = 0.006) and after 3 days (p = 0.026) and a decrease in the days thereafter to levels in the lower normal range. In contrast, patients who did not develop infectious complications showed high-normal acidification within the first days and increased tasset to identify patients at risk for infections after trauma and to monitor the inflammatory state of these trauma patients. CONCLUSION Neutrophil function can be measured in the ICU setting by rapid point-of-care analysis of phagosomal acidification. This analysis differed between trauma patients who developed infectious complications and trauma patients who did not. Therefore, this assay might prove a valuable asset to identify patients at risk for infections after trauma and to monitor the inflammatory state of these trauma patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common acute abdominal disease, and different types of AP have a different prognosis. The immune response and imbalanced immunity in AP patients are related to its severity. Inflammatory factors and related immune cells are of great importance in the pathogenesis of AP. Therefore, finding inflammatory cells and new inflammatory immune factors is of great significance for accurate treatment of AP.
AIM To explore the clinical significance of CD14+CD16+ monocytes expressing B7-H2 in peripheral blood of patients with AP.
METHODS A total of 63 patients with AP were enrolled in the study group, including 25 mild AP (MAP) cases, 20 moderately severe AP (MSAP) cases, and 18 severe AP (SAP) cases. Twenty healthy subjects were included as a control group. Flow cytometry was used for detection of B7-H2 expression on CD14+CD16+ cell subsets to evaluate its relevance to the severity of pancreatitis and clinical significance.
RESULTS At 24 h after disease onset in patients with AP, CD14+CD16+cells expressing B7-H2 experienced abnormally high expression, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (t = 11.10, P < 0.001). B7-H2 expression on CD14+CD16+ cell membrane in each group of AP patients was significantly higher than that on CD14+CD16- cell membrane(P < 0.01); B7-H2 expression on CD14+CD16+ and CD14+CD16- cells (373.30 ± 89.72 and 78.62 ± 13.05) in the SAP group was the highest, followed by that in the MSAP group (279.55 ± 76.95 and 44.92 ± 12.44) and the MAP group (181.15 ± 35.75 and 23.32 ± 4.28), and the difference between any two of the three groups was significant (P < 0.01). At 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after disease onset in the MAP group and MSAP group, there was no significant difference in B7-H2 expression on CD14+CD16+ and CD14+CD16- monocyte membrane (P > 0.05). However, B7-H2 expression on CD7+CD16+ or CD14+CD16- cell membrane in the SAP group at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h showed a clear upward trend, and the difference was significant (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION B7-H2 is highly expressed on CD14+CD16+ and CD14+CD16- monocyte membrane in patients with AP, which is closely related to the severity of AP. B7-H2 expression on CD14+CD16+ monocyte membrane in patients with AP is significantly increased compared with that on CD14+CD16- monocytes, providing new clues for further recognition of immune response and imbalance in AP and for accurate targeted therapy of AP.

Abstract
Polytrauma, with combined traumatic brain injury (TBI) and systemic damage are common among military and civilians. However, the pathophysiology of peripheral organs following polytrauma is poorly understood. Using a rat model of TBI combined with hypoxemia and hemorrhagic shock, we studied the status of peripheral redox systems, liver glycogen content, creatinine clearance, and systemic inflammation. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to hypoxemia and hemorrhagic shock insults (HH), penetrating ballistic-like brain injury (PBBI) alone, or PBBI followed by hypoxemia and hemorrhagic shock (PHH). Sham rats received craniotomy only. Biofluids and liver, kidney, and heart tissues were collected at 1 day, 2 days, 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days post-injury (DPI). Creatinine levels were measured in both serum and urine. Glutathione levels, glycogen content, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and cytochrome C oxidase enzyme activities were quantified in the peripheral organs. Acute inflammation marker serum amyloid A-1 (SAA-1) level was quantified using western blot analysis. Urine to serum creatinine ratio in PHH group was significantly elevated on 7-28 DPI. Polytrauma induced a delayed disruption of the hepatic GSH/GSSG ratio, which resolved within 2 weeks post-injury. A modest decrease in kidney SOD activity was observed at 2 weeks after polytrauma. However, neither PBBI alone nor polytrauma changed the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase activity. Hepatic glycogen levels were reduced acutely following polytrauma. Acute inflammation marker SAA-1 showed a significant increase at early time-points following both systemic and brain injury. Overall, our findings demonstrate temporal cytological/tissue level damage to the peripheral organs due to combined PBBI and systemic injury.

Abstract
Background: The complement system is part of the innate immunity, is activated immediately after trauma and is associated with adult respiratory distress syndrome, acute lung injury, multiple organ failure, and with death of multiply injured patients. The aim of the study was to investigate the complement activation in multiply injured pigs as well as its effects on the heart in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, the impact of reamed vs. non-reamed intramedullary nailing was examined with regard to the complement activation after multiple trauma in pigs. Materials and Methods: Male pigs received multiple trauma, followed by femoral nailing with/without prior conventional reaming. Systemic complement hemolytic activity (CH-50 and AH-50) as well as the local cardiac expression of C3a receptor, C5a receptors1/2, and the deposition of the fragments C3b/iC3b/C3c was determined in vivo after trauma. Human cardiomyocytes were exposed to C3a or C5a and analyzed regarding calcium signaling and mitochondrial respiration. Results: Systemic complement activation increased within 6 h after trauma and was mediated via the classical and the alternative pathway. Furthermore, complement activation correlated with invasiveness of fracture treatment. The expression of receptors for complement activation were altered locally in vivo in left ventricles. C3a and C5a acted detrimentally on human cardiomyocytes by affecting their functionality and their mitochondrial respiration in vitro. Conclusion: After multiple trauma, an early activation of the complement system is triggered, affecting the heart in vivo as well as in vitro, leading to complement-induced cardiac dysfunction. The intensity of complement activation after multiple trauma might correlate with the invasiveness of fracture treatment. Reaming of the femoral canal might contribute to an enhanced “second hit” response after trauma. Consequently, the choice of fracture treatment might imply the clinical outcome of the critically injured patients and might be therefore crucial for their survival.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the provision of imaging in severely injured patients and com pliance with national guidelines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two data collection tools were sent to all Royal College of Radiologist audit leads in radiology departments with an emergency department throughout the UK. The first focused on configuration of radiology departments, number of patients scanned for major trauma and service configuration for major trauma. The second focused on reporting times for 30 patients scanned for major trauma. RESULTS Eighty-five out of 191 (45%) eligible departments responded: 16 (19%) from major trauma centres, 52 (61%) from trauma units and 17 (20%) from other hospitals with an emergency department. Data were collected for 2,161 scans: 450 from major trauma centres, 1,400 from trauma units and 311 from emergency departments. Seven hundred and eighty-four (36%) scans were performed in hours and 1361 (63%) out of hours. Two hundred and forty (11%) scans had a primary survey report documented, of which 53 (22%) were unavailable to clinicians after 20 minutes. Time to final consultant report was within 1 hour for 1,033 (48%) scans and within 2 hours for an additional 540 (25%) scans. 34/85 (40%) departments have registrars first on call for major trauma who report scans out of hours and have a consultant final report the next day. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights significant deficiencies in care and imaging of severely injured patients within major trauma centres and trauma units. Infrastructure and staffing have been underfunded and under resourced to meet rapidly changing best practice requirements in the management of major trauma.

Abstract
Background Major trauma is associated with high incidence of septic complications and multiple organ dysfunction (MOD), which markedly influence the outcome of injured patients. Early identification of patients at risk of developing posttraumatic complications is crucial to provide early treatment and improve outcomes. We sought to evaluate the prognostic value of serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels after trauma as related to severity of injury, sepsis, organ dysfunction, and mortality. Methods We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Database, and references of included articles. Two investigators independently identified eligible studies and extracted data. We included original studies that assessed the prognostic value of serum PCT levels in predicting severity of injury, sepsis, organ dysfunction, and mortality among critically injured adult patients. Results Among 2015 citations, 19 studies (17 prospective; 2 retrospective) met inclusion criteria. Methodological quality of included studies was moderate. All studies showed a strong correlation between initial PCT levels and Injury Severity Score (ISS). Twelve out of 16 studies demonstrated significant elevation of initial PCT levels in patients who later developed sepsis after trauma. PCT level appeared a strong predictor of MOD in seven out of nine studies. While two studies did not show association between PCT levels and mortality, four studies demonstrated significant elevation of PCT levels in non-survivors versus survivors. One study reported that the PCT level of ≥ 5 ng/mL was associated with significantly increased mortality (OR 3.65; 95% CI 1.03–12.9; p = 0.04). Conclusion PCT appears promising as a surrogate biomarker for trauma. Initial peak PCT level may be used as an early predictor of sepsis, MOD, and mortality in trauma population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polytrauma patients are at risk of considerable harm from malnutrition due to the metabolic response to trauma. However, there is little knowledge of (the risk of) malnutrition and its consequences in these patients. Recognition of sub-optimally nourished polytrauma patients and their nutritional needs is crucial to prevent complications and optimize their clinical outcomes. AIM The primary objective is to investigate whether polytrauma patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) who have or develop malnutrition have a higher complication rate than patients who are and remain well nourished. Secondary objectives are to determine the prevalence of pre-existent and in-hospital acquired malnutrition in these patients, to assess the association between malnutrition and long-term outcomes, and to determine the association between serum biomarkers (albumin and pre-albumin) and malnutrition. METHODS This international observational prospective cohort study will be performed at three Level-1 trauma centers in the United States and two Level-1 centers in the Netherlands. Adult polytrauma patients (Injury Severity Score ≥16) admitted to the ICU of one of the participating centers directly from the Emergency Department are eligible for inclusion. Nutritional status and risk of malnutrition will be assessed using the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) scale and Nutritional Risk in Critically Ill (NUTRIC) score, respectively. Nutritional intake, biomarkers and complications will be collected daily. Patients will be followed up to one year after discharge for long-term outcomes. CONCLUSIONS This international prospective cohort study aims to gain more insight into the effect and consequences of malnutrition in polytrauma patients admitted to the ICU.

World J Emerg Surg 2019; 14:49. [PMID: 31832083 PMCID: PMC6868704 DOI: 10.1186/s13017-019-0267-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2019] [Accepted: 09/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Hemorrhagic shock can lead to intestinal damage with subsequent hyperinflammation and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). The intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) is solely expressed in the intestine and is released extracellulary after tissue damage. This study evaluates the validity of I-FABP as an early biomarker to detect hemorrhagic shock and abdominal injury. Patients and methods Severely injured patients with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 16 points and an age ≥ 18 years, admitted from January 2010 to December 2016, were included. Overall, 26 patients retrospectively presented with hemorrhagic shock to the emergency room (ER): 8 patients without abdominal injury ("HS noAbd") and 18 patients with abdominal injury ("HS Abd"). Furthermore, 16 severely injured patients without hemorrhagic shock and without abdominal injury ("noHS noAbd") were retrospectively selected as controls. Plasma I-FABP levels were measured at admission to the ER and up to 3 days posttraumatic (d1-d3). Results Median I-FABP levels were significantly higher in the "HS Abd" group compared with the "HS noAbd" group (28,637.0 pg/ml [IQR = 6372.4-55,550.0] vs. 7292.3 pg/ml [IQR = 1282.5-11,159.5], p < 0.05). Furthermore, I-FABP levels of both hemorrhagic shock groups were significantly higher compared with the "noHS noAbd" group (844.4 pg/ml [IQR = 530.0-1432.9], p < 0.05). The time course of I-FABP levels showed a peak on the day of admission with a subsequent decline in the post-traumatic course. Furthermore, significant correlations between I-FABP levels and clinical parameters of hemorrhagic shock, such as hemoglobin, lactate value, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and shock index, were found.The optimal cut-off level of I-FABP for detection of hemorrhagic shock was 1761.9 pg/ml with a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 81%. Conclusion This study confirmed our previous observation that I-FABP might be used as a suitable early biomarker for the detection of abdominal injuries in general. In addition, I-FABP may also be a useful and a promising parameter in the diagnosis of hemorrhagic shock, because of reflecting low intestinal perfusion.

Abstract
After severe trauma, the resulting excessive inflammatory response is countered by compensatory anti-inflammatory mechanisms. The systemic inflammatory response to trauma enhanced by inappropriately timed surgical second hits may be detrimental for the patient. On the other hand, overwhelming anti-inflammatory mechanisms may put patients at increased risk from secondary local and systemic infections. The ensuing sepsis and organ dysfunction due to immune dysregulation remain the leading causes of death after injury. To date, there are no clinically applicable techniques to monitor the pro-/anti-inflammatory immune status of the patients and the remaining ability to react to microbial stimuli. Therefore, in the present study, we used a highly standardized and easy-to-use system to draw peripheral whole blood from polytraumatized patients (ISS ≥ 32, n = 7) and to challenge it with bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Secreted cytokines were compared with those in samples from healthy volunteers. We observed a significant decrease in the release of monocyte-derived mediators. Surprisingly, we detected stable or even increased concentrations of cytokines related to T cell maturation and function. For clinical practicability, we reduced the incubation time before supernatants were collected. Even after an abbreviated stimulation period, a stable release of almost all analysed parameters in patient blood could be detected. In conclusion, the data are indicative of a clinically well-applicable approach to monitor the immune status in severely injured patients in a short time. This may be used to optimize the timing of necessary surgical interventions to avoid a boost of proinflammation and reduce risk of secondary infections.

Abstract
The critically ill polytrauma patient is characterized by a series of metabolic changes induced by inflammation, oxidative stress, sepsis, and primary trauma, as well as associated secondary injuries associated. Metabolic and nutritional dysfunction in the critically ill patient is a complex series of imbalances of biochemical and genetic pathways, as well as the interconnection between them. Therefore, the equation changes in comparison to other critical patients or to healthy individuals, in which cases, mathematical equations can be successfully used to predict the energy requirements. Recent studies have shown that indirect calorimetry is one of the most accurate methods for determining the energy requirements in intubated and mechanically ventilated patients. Current research is oriented towards an individualized therapy depending on the energy consumption (kcal/day) of each patient that also takes into account the clinical dynamics. By using indirect calorimetry, one can measure, in real time, both oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. Energy requirements (kcal/day) and the respiratory quotient (RQ) can be determined in real time by integrating these dynamic parameters into electronic algorithms. In this manner, nutritional therapy becomes personalized and caters to the patients’ individual needs, helping patients receive the energy substrates they need at each clinically specific time of treatment.

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
OBJECTIVES Sustained changes in resuscitation and transfusion management have been observed since the turn of the millennium, along with an ongoing discussion of surgical management strategies. The aims of this study are threefold: a) to evaluate the objective changes in resuscitation and mass transfusion protocols undertaken in major level I trauma centers; b) to summarize the improvements in diagnostic options for early risk profiling in multiply injured patients and c) to assess the improvements in surgical treatment for acute major fractures in the multiply injured patient. METHODS I. A systematic review of the literature (comprehensive search of the MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases) and a concomitant data base (from a single Level I center) analysis were performed. Two authors independently extracted data using a pre-designed form. A pooled analysis was performed to determine the changes in the management of polytraumatized patients after the change of the millennium. II. A data base from a level I trauma center was utilized to test any effects of treatment changes on outcome. INCLUSION CRITERIA adult patients, ISS > 16, admission < less than 24 h post trauma. Exclusion: Oncological diseases, genetic disorders that affect the musculoskeletal system. Parameters evaluated were mortality, ICU stay, ICU complications (Sepsis, Pneumonia, Multiple organ failure). RESULTS I. From the electronic databases, 5141 articles were deemed to be relevant. 169 articles met the inclusion criteria and a manual review of reference lists of key articles identified an additional 22 articles. II. Out of 3668 patients, 2694 (73.4%) were male, the mean ISS was 28.2 (SD 15.1), mean NISS was 37.2 points (SD 17.4 points) and the average length of stay was 17.0 days (SD 18.7 days) with a mean length of ICU stay of 8.2 days (SD 10.5 days), and a mean ventilation time of 5.1 days (SD 8.1 days). Both surgical management and nonsurgical strategies have changed over time. Damage control resuscitation, dynamic analyses of coagulopathy and lactate clearance proved to sharpen the view of the worsening trauma patient and facilitated the prevention of further complications. The subsequent surgical care has become safer and more balanced, avoiding overzealous initial surgeries, while performing early fixation, when patients are physiologically stable or rapidly improving. Severe chest trauma and soft tissue injuries require further evaluation. CONCLUSIONS Multiple changes in management (resuscitation, transfusion protocols and balanced surgical care) have taken place. Moreover, improvement in mortality rates and complications associated with several factors were also observed. These findings support the view that the management of polytrauma patients has been substantially improved over the past 3 decades.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock is the leading cause of preventable death after trauma. Hibernation-based treatment approaches have been of increasing interest for various biomedical applications. Owing to apparent similarities in tissue perfusion and metabolic activity between severe blood loss and the hibernating state, hibernation-based approaches have also emerged for the treatment of hemorrhagic shock. Research has shown that hibernators are protected from shock-induced injury and inflammation. Utilizing the adaptive mechanisms that prevent injury in these animals may help alleviate the detrimental effects of hemorrhagic shock in non-hibernating species. This review describes hibernation-based preclinical and clinical approaches for the treatment of severe blood loss. Treatments include the delta opioid receptor agonist D-Ala-Leu-enkephalin (DADLE), the gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide, combinations of adenosine, lidocaine, and magnesium (ALM) or D-beta-hydroxybutyrate and melatonin (BHB/M), and therapeutic hypothermia. While we focus on hemorrhagic shock, many of the described treatments may be used in other situations of hypoxia or ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Background and objective: The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10) measured once at the baseline with changes in nutritional status of patients with traumatic head injury (THI) assessed at three consecutive times (24 h after admission, day 6 and day 13) during hospital stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). Materials and Methods: Sixty-four patients with THI were recruited for the current study (over 10 months). The nutritional status of the patients was determined within 24 h after admission and on days 6 and 13, using actual body weight, body composition analysis, and anthropometric measurements. The APACHE II score and SOFA score were also assessed within 24 h of admission and on days 6 and 13 of patients staying in the ICU. Circulatory serum levels of cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-10) were assessed once within 24 h of admission. Results: The current study found a significant reduction in BMI, FBM, LBM, MAUAC, and APM, of THI patients with high serum levels the cytokines, over the course of time from the baseline to day 7 and to day 13 in patients staying in the ICU (p < 0.001). It was also found that patients with low levels of some studied cytokines had significant improvement in their nutritional status and clinical outcomes in term of MAUAC, APM, APACHE II score and SOFA score (p < 0.001 to p < 0.01). Conclusion: THI patients who had high serum levels of studied cytokines were more prone to develop a reduction of nutritional status in terms of BMI, FBM, LBM MAUAC and APM over the course of time from patient admission until day 13 of ICU admission.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Older adults enduring a polytrauma have an increased mortality risk. Apart from age, the role of other predisposing factors on mortality are mainly described for the total polytrauma population. This study aimed to describe the mortality pattern of older polytrauma patients, its associated risk factors, and the role and etiology of in-hospital complications. METHODS An eight-year retrospective cohort was constructed from 380 polytrauma patients aged ≥65 in a Dutch level 1 trauma center and linked to the national trauma database (DTR). Demographics, injury characteristics, comorbidity, clinical characteristics, in-hospital mortality, mortality etiology and complications scored according to the Clavien-Dindo classification were analyzed. Primary outcome was the identification of risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality, followed by identification of in-hospital complications and their nature. RESULTS Overall in-hospital mortality was 36.3%, rising significantly with age. For patients aged ≥85 in-hospital mortality was 60.8%. Polytrauma patients aged ≥75 showed a peak of late-onset deaths one week following trauma. Age, a Glasgow coma score ≤8, coagulopathy, acidosis, injury severity score and the presence of a large subdural hematoma were significant risk factors influencing in-hospital mortality. Respiratory failure was the most prevalent severe and fatal complication. The proportion of fatal complications grew significantly with age (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Age is strongly associated with in-hospital mortality in polytraumatized elderly. Coagulopathy, acidosis, a low Glasgow coma score, presence of a large subdural hematoma and injury severity score were independently of age associated with an increased mortality. Patients older than 75 years showed a unique trimodal distribution of mortality with a late onset one week following the initial trauma. Elderly were more susceptible for fatal complications. Respiratory failure was the most prevalent severe and fatal complication. Aggressive monitoring and treatment of the pulmonary status is therefore of utmost importance.

A systematic review of large animal models of combined traumatic brain injury and hemorrhagic shock. Neurosci Biobehav Rev 2019; 104:160-177.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and severe blood loss (SBL) frequently co-occur in human trauma, resulting in high levels of mortality and morbidity. Importantly, each of the individual post-injury cascades is characterized by complex and potentially opposing pathophysiological responses, complicating optimal resuscitation and therapeutic approaches. Large animal models of poly-neurotrauma closely mimic human physiology, but a systematic literature review of published models has been lacking. The current review suggests a relative paucity of large animal poly-neurotrauma studies (N = 52), with meta-statistics revealing trends for animal species (exclusively swine), characteristics (use of single biological sex, use of juveniles) and TBI models. Although most studies have targeted blood loss volumes of 35-45%, the associated mortality rates are much lower relative to Class III/IV human trauma. This discrepancy may result from potentially mitigating experimental factors (e.g., mechanical ventilation prior to or during injury, pausing/resuming blood loss based on physiological parameters, administration of small volume fluid resuscitation) that are rarely associated with human trauma, highlighting the need for additional work in this area.

Abstract
Background Trauma leads to a complex inflammatory cascade that induces both immune activation and a refractory immune state in parallel. Although both components are deemed necessary for recovery, the balance is tight and easily lost. Losing the balance can lead to life-threatening infectious complications as well as long-term immunosuppression with recurrent infections. Neutrophils are known to play a key role in these processes. Therefore, this review focuses on neutrophil characteristics and function after trauma and how these features can be used to identify trauma patients at risk for infectious complications. Results Distinct neutrophil subtypes exist that play their own role in the recovery and/or development of infectious complications after trauma. Furthermore, the refractory immune state is related to the risk of infectious complications. These findings change the initial concepts of the immune response after trauma and give rise to new biomarkers for monitoring and predicting inflammatory complications in severely injured patients. Conclusion For early recognition of patients at risk, the immune system should be monitored. Several neutrophil biomarkers show promising results and analysis of these markers has become accessible to such extent that they can be used for point-of-care decision making after trauma.

Abstract
Severe inflammation may lead to multiple organs dysfunction syndrome, which has a high mortality. MicroRNA is found participated in this process. In this study we developed a lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation cell model on macrophages and a lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation mouse model. It was found that during inflammation, microRNA-9 was increased, accompanied with the up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Down-regulation of microRNA-9 inhibited the up-regulation of inflammatory cytokines, promoted the up-regulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines and induced the remission of organ damage, showing a protective effect in inflammation. Bioinformatics analysis combined with luciferase reporter assay showed that SIRT1 was the target gene of microRNA-9. Transfection of microRNA-9 inhibitor could increase the level of SIRT1 and decrease the activation of NF-κB pathway in macrophages. Myeloid specific sirt1 knockout mice were included and we found that lack of SIRT1 in mice macrophages led to aggravated inflammation, cell apoptosis and organ injury, and eliminated the protective property of microRNA-9 inhibitor. In conclusion, we demonstrated that inhibition of microRNA-9 could alleviate inflammation through the up-regulation of SIRT1 and then suppressed the activation of NF-κB pathway. This is a meaningful explore about the specific mechanism of microRNA-9 in inflammation.

Abstract
Polytrauma (PT) is a life-threatening disease and a major global burden of injury. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) might be a therapeutic option for PT patients due to their anti-inflammatory and regenerative potential. We hypothesised that the inflammatory response of MSC is similar after exposure to selected trauma-relevant factors to sera from PT patients (PTS). Therefore, we investigated the effects of a mixture of defined factors, supposed to play a role on MSC in the early phase of PT. Additionally, in a translational approach we investigated the effect of serum from PT patients on MSC in vitro. MSC were incubated with a PT cocktail in physiological (PTCL) and supra-physiological (PTCH) concentrations or PTS. The effect on gene expression and protein secretion of MSC was analysed by RNA sequencing, ELISA and Multiplex assays of cell culture supernatant. Stimulation of MSC with PTCH, PTCL or IL1B led to significant up- or downregulation of 470, 183 and 469 genes compared to unstimulated MSC at 6 h. The intersection of differentially expressed genes in these groups was very high (92% overlap with regard to the PTCL group; treated for 6 h). Cytokine secretion profile of MSC revealed that IL1B mimics the effect of a more complex PT cocktail as well. However, there was only a minor proportion of overlapping differentially expressed genes between the MSC group stimulated with early times of PTS and the MSC group stimulated with PTCH, PTCL and IL1B. In conclusion, the effect of sera from PT patients on MSC activation cannot be simulated by the chosen trauma-relevant factors. Furthermore, we conclude that while IL1B might be useful to prime MSC prior to therapeutic application, it might not be as useful for the in vitro study of functional properties of MSC in the context of PT.

Abstract
Sepsis is a complex of life-threating organ dysfunction in critically ill patients, with a primary infectious cause or through secondary infection of damaged tissues. The systemic consequences of sepsis have been intensively examined and evidences of local alterations and repercussions in the intestinal mucosal compartment is gradually defining gut-associated changes during sepsis. In the present review, we focus on sepsis-induced dysfunction of the intestinal barrier, consisting of an increased permeability of the epithelial lining, which may facilitate bacterial translocation. We discuss disturbances in intestinal vascular tonus and perfusion and coagulopathies with respect to their proposed underlying molecular mechanisms. The consequences of enzymatic responses by pancreatic proteases, intestinal alkaline phosphatases, and several matrix metalloproteases are also described. We conclude our insight with a discussion on novel therapeutic interventions derived from crucial aspects of the gut mucosal dynamics during sepsis.

Abstract
Trauma remains a major cause of death throughout the world, especially for patients younger than 45 years. Due to rapid advances in clinical management, both in the acute and prehospital settings, trauma patients survive devastating injuries at unprecedented rates. However, these patients can often face life threatening complications that stem from the robust innate immune response induced by severe hemorrhage, leading to further tissue injury rather than repair. The complement and coagulation cascades are key mediators in this disordered reaction, which includes the development of trauma‐induced coagulopathy. There is increasing evidence that cross‐talk between these two pathways allows rapid amplification of their otherwise targeted responses and contributes to overwhelming and prolonged systemic inflammation. In this article, we summarize the initial steps of innate immune response to trauma and review the complex complement and coagulation cascades, as well as how they interact with each other. Despite progress in understanding these cascades, effective therapeutic targets have yet to be found and further research is needed both to improve survival rates as well as decrease associated morbidity.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes a wide variety of neuroinflammatory events. These neuroinflammatory events depend, to a greater extent, on the severity of the damage. Our previous studies have shown that the liver produces serum amyloid A (SAA) at high levels in the initial hours after controlled cortical impact (CCI) injury in mice. Clinical studies have reported detectable SAA in the plasma of brain injury patients, but it is not clear if SAA levels depend on TBI severity. To evaluate this question, we performed a mild to severe CCI injury in wild-type mice. We collected blood samples and brains at 1, 3, and 7 days after injury for protein detection by western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, or immunohistochemical analysis. Our results showed that severe CCI injury compared to mild CCI injury or sham mice caused an increased neuronal death, larger lesion volume, increased microglia/macrophage density, and augmented neutrophil infiltration. Furthermore, we found that the serum levels of SAA protein ascended in the blood in correlation with high neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative responses. Altogether, these results suggest that serum SAA may be a novel neuroinflammation-based, and severity-dependent, biomarker for acute TBI.

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 We sought to evaluate the role of soluble ST2 (suppression of tumorigenicity) serum concentrations in polytraumatized patients and its potential role as biomarker for pulmonary complications. METHODS We included severely injured patients (injury severity score≥16) admitted to our level I trauma center and analyzed serum samples obtained on the day of admission and on day 2. Furthermore, patients with isolated thoracic injury and healthy probands were included and served as control groups. Serum samples were analyzed for soluble ST2 concentrations with a commercially available ELISA kit. RESULTS A total of 130 patients were included in the present study. Five patients with isolated thoracic injury and eight healthy probands were further included. Serum analyses revealed significantly elevated concentrations of soluble ST2 in polytraumatized patients compared to patients suffering from isolated thoracic trauma and healthy probands. In polytraumatized patients who developed pulmonary complications (acute respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia) and in patients who died, significantly higher serum concentrations of soluble ST2 were found on day 2 (p<0.001). Serum concentrations of soluble ST2 on day 2 were of prognostic value to predict pulmonary complications in polytraumatized patients (area under the curve=0.720, 95% confidence interval=0.623-0.816). Concomitant thoracic trauma had no further impact on serum concentrations of soluble ST2. CONCLUSIONS Serum concentrations of soluble ST2 are upregulated following polytrauma. Increased concentrations were associated with worse outcome.

Abstract
This study aims to elaborate the relevance of trauma severity and traumatic injury pattern in different multiple and/or polytrauma models by comparing five singular trauma to two different polytrauma (PT) models with high and one multiple trauma (MT) model with low injury-severity score (ISS). The aim is to provide a baseline for reducing animal harm according to 3Rs by providing less injury as possible in polytrauma modeling. Mice were randomly assigned to 10 groups: controls (Ctrl; n = 15), Sham (n = 15); monotrauma groups: hemorrhagic shock (HS; n = 15), thoracic trauma (TxT; n = 18), osteotomy with external fixation (Fx; n = 16), bilateral soft tissue trauma (bSTT; n = 16) or laparotomy (Lap; n = 16); two PT groups: PT I (TxT + HS + Fx; ISS = 18; n = 18), PT II (TxT + HS + Fx + Lap; ISS = 22; n = 18), and a MT group (TxT + HS + bSTT + Lap, ISS = 13; n = 18). Activity and mortality were assessed. Blood gas analyses and organ damage markers were determined after 6 h. Significant mortality occurred in TxT, PT and MT (11.7%). Activity decreased significantly in TxT, HS, both polytrauma and MT vs. Ctrl/Sham. PT-groups and MT had significantly decreased activity vs. bsTT, Lap or Fx. MT had significantly lower pCO2vs. Ctrl/Sham, Lap or bsTT. Transaminases increased significantly in PT-groups and MT vs. Ctrl, Sham or monotrauma. Traumatic injury pattern is of comparable relevance as injury severity for experimental multiple or (poly)trauma modeling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Blunt chest (thoracic) trauma (TxT) is known to contribute to the development of secondary pulmonary complications. Of these, acute lung injury (ALI) is common especially in multiply injured patients and might not only be due to the direct trauma itself, but seems to be caused by ongoing and multifactorial inflammatory changes. Nevertheless, the exact mechanisms and contributing factors of the development of ALI following blunt chest trauma are still elusive. METHODS 60 CL57BL/6N mice sustained either blunt chest trauma combined with laparotomy without further interventions or a double hit (DH) including TxT and cecal ligation puncture (CLP) after 24 h to induce ALI. Animals were killed either 6 or 24 h after the second procedure. Pulmonary expression of inflammatory mediators cxcl1, cxcl5, IL-1β and IL-6, neutrophil infiltration and lung tissue damage using the Lung Injury Score (LIS) were determined. RESULTS Next to a moderate increase in other inflammatory mediators, a significant increase in CXCL1, neutrophil infiltration and lung injury was observed early after TxT, which returned to baseline levels after 24 h. DH induced significantly increased gene expression of cxcl1, cxcl5, IL-1β and IL-6 after 6 h, which was followed by the postponed significant increase in the protein expression after 24 h compared to controls. Neutrophil infiltration was significantly enhanced 24 h after DH compared to all other groups, and exerted a slight decline after 24 h. LIS has shown a significant increase after both 6 and 24 h compared to both control groups as well the late TxT group. CONCLUSION Early observed lung injury with moderate inflammatory changes after blunt chest trauma recovered quickly, and therefore, may be caused by mechanical lung injury. In contrast, lung injury in the ALI group did not undergo recovery and is closely associated with significant changes of inflammatory mediators. This model may be used for further examinations of contributing factors and therapeutic strategies to prevent ALI.

Abstract
PURPOSE Trauma is the most common cause of death of young people in the world. As known, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) accelerate tissue regeneration mechanisms. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effects of MSCs transplantation on the healing of liver and bone tissue by considering trauma secondary inflammatory responses. METHODS 56 adult Wistar-albino rats were divided into two groups: the polytrauma (liver and bone) (n = 28), and the liver trauma group (n = 28). At 36 h and 5th day after surgery, both rats with polytrauma and with isolated liver injury received either intravenous (IV) or intraperitoneal (IP) injections of MSCs (one million cells per kg body weight). Untreated groups received IV and IP saline injections. At day 21 after surgery, liver, tibia and fibula of the subjects were excised and evaluated for histopathologic and histomorphometric examination. Additionally, whole blood count (white blood cells, hemoglobin and platelets), C-reactive protein (CRP), glucose, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), albumin, blood gas, and trauma markers interleukin-1B (IL-1B), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) levels were investigated. RESULTS In general, MSC transplantations were well tolerated by the subjects. It was found that ALT, CRP, albumin were significantly lower in rats which received MSCs (p < 0.001). Inflammation of the liver and bone tissue in the MSC-injected rats were significantly lower than that of the untreated groups. CONCLUSIONS Herewith we have shown that MSC infusion in posttraumatic rats leads to less aggressive and more effective consequences on liver and bone tissue healing. Human MSC treatment for trauma is still in early stages of development; thus standard protocols, and patient inclusion criteria should be established beforehand clinical trials.

Changes in the temporal distribution of in-hospital mortality in severely injured patients-An analysis of the TraumaRegister DGU. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0212095. [PMID: 30794579 PMCID: PMC6386341 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0212095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2017] [Accepted: 01/28/2019] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The temporal distribution of trauma mortality has been classically described as a trimodal pattern with an immediate, early and late peak. In modern health care systems this time distribution has changed. Methods Data from the TraumaRegister DGU was analysed retrospectively. Between 2002 and 2015, all registered in-hospital deaths with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 16 were evaluated considering time of death, trauma mechanism, injured body area, age distribution, rates of sepsis and multiple organ failure. Pre-hospital and post-discharge trauma deaths were not considered. Results 78 310 severely injured patients were registered, non-survivors constituted 14 816, representing an in-hospital mortality rate of 18.9%. Mean ISS of non-survivors was 36.0±16.0, 66.7% were male, mean age was 59.5±23.5. Within the first hour after admission to hospital, 10.8% of deaths occurred, after 6 hours the percentage increased to 25.5%, after 12 hours 40.0%, after 24 hours 53.2% and within the first 48 hours 61.9%. Mortality showed a constant temporal decrease. Severe head injury (defined by Abbreviated Injury Scale, AIS-Head≥3) was found in 76.4% of non-survivors. Patients with an isolated head injury showed a more distinct decrease in survival rate, which was accentuated in the first days after admission. The correlation of age and time of death showed a proportional increase with age (55-74a). The rate of sepsis and multiple organ failure among non-survivors was 11.5% and 70.1%, respectively. Conclusion In a modern trauma care system, the mortality distribution of severely injured patients has changed its pattern, where especially the third peak is no longer detectable.

Abstract
Multiple trauma (MT) associated with hemorrhagic shock (HS) might lead to cerebral hypoperfusion and brain damage. We investigated cerebral alterations using a new porcine MT/HS model without traumatic brain injury (TBI) and assessed the neuroprotective properties of mild therapeutic hypothermia. Male pigs underwent standardized MT with HS (45% or 50% loss of blood volume) and resuscitation after 90/120 min (T90/T120). In additional groups (TH90/TH120) mild hypothermia (33°C) was induced following resuscitation. Normothermic or hypothermic sham animals served as controls. Intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and cerebral oxygenation (PtiO2) were recorded up to 48.5 h. Serum protein S-100B and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) were measured by ELISA. Cerebral inflammation was quantified on hematoxylin and eosin -stained brain slices; Iba1, S100, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression was assessed using immunohistochemistry. Directly after MT/HS, CPP and PtiO2 were significantly lower in T90/T120 groups compared with sham. After resuscitation both parameters showed a gradual recovery. Serum protein S-100B and NSE increased temporarily as a result of MT/HS in T90 and T90/T120 groups, respectively. Cerebral inflammation was found in all groups. Iba1-staining showed significant microgliosis in T90 and T120 animals. iNOS-staining indicated a M1 polarization. Mild hypothermia reduced cerebral inflammation in the TH90 group, but resulted in increased iNOS activation. In this porcine long-term model, we did not find evidence of gross cerebral damage when resuscitation was initiated within 120 min after MT/HS without TBI. However, trauma-related microglia activation and M1 microglia polarization might be a consequence of temporary hypoxia/ischemia and further research is warranted to detail underlying mechanisms. Interestingly, mild hypothermia did not exhibit neuroprotective properties when initiated in a delayed fashion.

Abstract
Hypoxia-induced apoptosis occurs in various diseases. Cobalt chloride (CoCl2) is a hypoxia mimic agent that is frequently used in studies investigating the mechanisms of hypoxia. Nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF-1) is a transcription factor with an important role in the expression of mitochondrial respiratory and mitochondria-associated genes. However, few studies have evaluated the effects of NRF-1 on apoptosis, particularly with regard to damage caused by CoCl2. In the present study, the role of NRF-1 in mediating CoCl2-induced apoptosis was investigated using cell viability analysis, flow cytometry, fluorescence imaging, western blotting analysis, energy metabolism analysis and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The present results revealed that the apoptosis caused by CoCl2 could be alleviated by NRF-1. Furthermore, overexpression of NRF-1 increased the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2, hypoxia inducible factor-1α and NRF-2. Also, cell damage induced by CoCl2 may be associated with depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential, and NRF-1 suppressed this effect. Notably, the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was reduced in CoCl2-treated cells, whereas overexpression of NRF-1 enhanced the OCR, suggesting that NRF-1 had protective effects. In summary, the present study demonstrated that NRF-1 protected against CoCl2-induced apoptosis, potentially by strengthening mitochondrial function to resist CoCl2-induced damage to H9C2 cells. The results of the present study provide a possible way for the investigation of myocardial diseases.

Abstract
Trauma-induced hemorrhagic shock (HS) plays a decisive role in the development of immune, coagulation, and organ dysfunction often resulting in a poor clinical outcome. Imbalanced complement activation is intricately associated with the molecular danger response and organ damage after HS. Thus, inhibition of the central complement component C3 as turnstile of both inflammation and coagulation is hypothesized as a rational strategy to improve the clinical course after HS.Applying intensive care conditions, anaesthetized, monitored, and protectively ventilated nonhuman primates (NHP; cynomolgus monkeys) received a pressure-controlled severe HS (60 min at mean arterial pressure 30 mmHg) with subsequent volume resuscitation. Thirty minutes after HS, animals were randomly treated with either an analog of the C3 inhibitor compstatin (i.e., Cp40) in saline (n = 4) or with saline alone (n = 4). The observation period lasted 300 min after induction of HS.We observed improved kidney function in compstatin Cp40-treated animals after HS as determined by improved urine output, reduced damage markers and a tendency of less histopathological signs of acute kidney injury. Sham-treated animals revealed classical signs of mucosal edema, especially in the ileum and colon reflected by worsened microscopic intestinal injury scores. In contrast, Cp40-treated HS animals exhibited only minor signs of organ edema and significantly less intestinal damage. Furthermore, early systemic inflammation and coagulation dysfunction were both ameliorated by Cp40.The data suggest that therapeutic inhibition of C3 is capable to significantly improve immune, coagulation, and organ function and to preserve organ-barrier integrity early after traumatic HS. C3-targeted complement inhibition may therefore reflect a promising therapeutic strategy in fighting fatal consequences of HS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Orthopedic injuries are a growing epidemic affecting predominantly, the young population, after trauma. Polytrauma patients with a femoral fracture and with Injury Severity Score of >15 are of special concern because of complications like Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), Multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and sepsis. Against this background. We aimed to assess the role of monocytic cytokines in the development of complications in patients, having isolated diapheseal fracture of femur as compared to those having diapheseal fracture of femur along with ISS score >15. METHODOLOGY Patients were divided into to two groups: in first group, only those patients who had isolated femur fracture were included (named as 'Group A'). In the second groups patients having femur fracture along with ISS >15 at the time of admission (named as 'Group B'), were included. The study used flowcytometry based intracellular cytokine assay to circumvent the problem associated with extracellular cytokine assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION A total of 20 patients aged between 20 and 55 years, presenting to the emergency department within 24 h of injury were enrolled in Group 'A' and 'B' as per criteria mentioned above. Intracellular expression of cytokines in isolated femur fracture tends to normalize towards healthy control in the late phase of trauma. Elevated levels of IL-8 and IL-6 levels in late phase (Day 10) of trauma. IL-8 and IL-6 may increases to compensate the higher levels of IL-1β. The effect of cytokines on the severity of injury was observed. This complex action of immune cells and proinflammatory cytokines were seen in initial and later stage of trauma.

Abstract
Background Acute lung injury (ALI) and subsequent pulmonary infection are the most severe and usually fatal complications for elderly hip fracture patients. It is necessary to find some biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of it. Objective This study is aimed at examining the differential expression of miR-146a, miR-150, and cytokines (IL-6 and IL-10) between younger and elderly rats suffering from hip fracture and investigating the possible meaning of them in early diagnosis and prognosis of ALI after hip fracture. Methods and Subjects Elderly rats and younger rats were randomly divided into sham group and fracture group, respectively. Two fracture groups received hip fracture operations. The damage degree of ALI was evaluated by histological observation and pathological score. Cytokines were measured by ELISA; miR-146a and miR-150 were analysed by qRT-PCR. Results After treatment, compared with the corresponding sham groups, the pulmonary histological score, the serum miR-146a concentrations, and the cytokine (IL-6 and IL-10) levels in serum and BALF were significantly higher (the miR-150 were lower) in the fracture groups (with the exception of IL-6 of the younger fracture group at 72 h, all P < 0.05). Meanwhile, compared with the younger fracture group, the aforementioned variables were significantly higher (the miR-150 levels were lower) in the elderly fracture group (with the exception of serum IL-10 and pulmonary histological score at 8 h, all P < 0.05). The results of linear regression analysis showed that serum miR-146a and miR-150 were significantly associated with pulmonary histological score. Conclusion Hip fracture can result in significant systemic inflammation and ALI in the rats. Compared to the younger rats, the elderly rats suffered a more remarkable ALI after hip fracture. It may be related to the abnormal expression of miR-146a and miR-150. Serum miR-146a and miR-150 are potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of ALI after hip fracture.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is the most modern and sophisticated method of temporary abdominal closure. The aim of the study was to determine the significant predictors for mortality in patients with NPWT. SETTING University Clinical Centre Maribor, Slovenia MATERIALS AND METHODS:: The authors performed a retrospective cohort study of all patients treated with NPWT between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2014. RESULTS In the univariate analysis, the type of wound closure, more than 7 NPWT changes, the total days with NPWT, and time to wound closure were significantly associated with death of the patient. In the multivariate analysis, only the number of more than 7 NPWT changes was found as a significant predictor for death (P = .038). CONCLUSIONS Negative-pressure wound therapy is a method of choice for the treatment of open abdomen if there is a clear indication. However, clinicians should try all measures to remove the NPWT system and close the abdomen as soon as possible because prolonged use is associated with significantly higher mortality.

Abstract
Duck reovirus (DRV), a member of the genus Orthoreovirus in the family Reoviridae, was first isolated from Muscovy ducks. The disease associated with DRV causes great economic losses to the duck industry. However, the responses of duck (Cairna moschata) to the classical/novel DRV (C/NDRV) infections are largely unknown. To reveal the relationship of pathogenesis and immune response, the proteomes of duck spleen cells under the control and C/NDRV infections were compared. In total, 5986 proteins were identified, of which 5389 proteins were quantified. The different accumulated proteins (DAPs) under the C/NDRV infections showed displayed various biological functions and diverse subcellular localizations. The proteins related to the serine protease system were siginificantly changed, suggesting that the activated serine protease system may play an important role under the C/NDRV infections. Furthermore, the differences in the responses to the C/NRDV infections between the duck liver and spleen tissues were compared. Only a small number of common DAPs were identified in both liver and spleen tissues, suggesting diversified pattern involved in the responses to the C/NRDV infections. However, the changes in the proteins involved in the serine protease systems were similar in both liver and spleen cells. Our data may give a comprehensive resource for investigating the responses to C/NDRV infections in ducks. SIGNIFICANCE: A newly developed MS/MS-based method involving isotopomer labels and 'tandem mass' has been applied to protein accurate quantification in current years. However, no studies on the responses of duck (Cairna moschata) spleen tissue to the classical/novel DRV (C/NDRV) infections have been performed. As a continued study of our previous report on the responses of duck liver tissue to the C/NDRV infections, the current study further compared the differences in the responses to the C/NRDV infections between the duck liver and spleen tissues. Our results will provide an opportunity to reveal the relationship of pathogenesis and immune response and basic information on the pathogenicity of C/NDRV in ducks.

Abstract
Though circulating antioxidant capacity in plasma is homeostatically regulated, it is not known whether acute stressors (i.e. trauma) affecting different anatomical locations could have quantitatively different impacts. For this reason, we evaluated the relationship between the anatomical location of trauma and plasma total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in a prospective study, where the anatomical locations of trauma in polytraumatic patients (n = 66) were categorized as primary affecting the brain -traumatic brain injury (TBI)-, thorax, abdomen and pelvis or extremities. We measured the following: plasma TAC by 2 independent methods, the contribution of selected antioxidant molecules (uric acid, bilirubin and albumin) to these values and changes after 1 week of progression. Surprisingly, TBI lowered TAC (919 ± 335 μM Trolox equivalents (TE)) in comparison with other groups (thoracic trauma 1187 ± 270 μM TE; extremities 1025 ± 276 μM TE; p = 0.004). The latter 2 presented higher hypoxia (PaO2/FiO2 272 ± 87 mmHg) and hemodynamic instability (inotrope use required in 54.5%) as well. Temporal changes in TAC are also dependent on anatomical location, as thoracic and extremity trauma patients’ TAC values decreased (1187 ± 270 to 1045 ± 263 μM TE; 1025 ± 276 to 918 ± 331 μM TE) after 1 week (p < 0.01), while in TBI these values increased (919 ± 335 to 961 ± 465 μM TE). Our results show that the response of plasma antioxidant capacity in trauma patients is strongly dependent on time after trauma and location, with TBI failing to induce such a response.

Abstract
Neutrophils are main players in the effector phase of the host defense against micro-organisms and have a major role in the innate immune response. Neutrophils show phenotypic heterogeneity and functional flexibility, which highlight their importance in regulation of immune function. However, neutrophils can play a dual role and besides their antimicrobial function, deregulation of neutrophils and their hyperactivity can lead to tissue damage in severe inflammation or trauma. Neutrophils also have an important role in the modulation of the immune system in response to severe injury and trauma. In this review we will provide an overview of the current understanding of neutrophil subpopulations and their function during and post-infection and discuss the possible mechanisms of immune modulation by neutrophils in severe inflammation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Maxillofacial injuries are commonly encountered in the practice of emergency medicine. More than 50% of patients with these injuries have multisystem trauma that requires coordinated management between emergency physicians and surgical specialists in oral and maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, and trauma surgery. The aim of this study is to identify the patterns of brain injuries associated with maxillofacial trauma and its outcome. METHODS This descriptive study (cross-sectional) was carried out among 90 polytrauma patients with maxillofacial fractures attending the Emergency Department at Suez Canal university Hospital and fulfilling our inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS This study demonstrates the relation between type of maxillofacial fracture and type of traumatic brain injuries in which the majority of patients with epidural hemorrhage presented with mid face fractures (60%), while the minority of them presented with upper and lower face fractures (20% for each of them). The majority of patients with subdural hemorrhage were associated with mid face fractures (75%), the majority of patients with brain contusions associated with mid face fractures (75%), and all of the patients presented by pneumocephalus were associated with mid face fractures (100%). CONCLUSION The results of this study confirm the value of quick diagnosis and early intervention, which is fundamental to prevent morbidity as well as mortality especially with regards to prevention of traumatic brain injury as even a short duration of hypoxia and edema will lead to significant permanent neurological deficits.

Abstract
Polymorphonuclear (PMN) leucocytes participate in acute inflammatory pathologies such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following traumatic injury and shock, which also activates the coagulation system systemically. Trauma can prime the PMN nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex for an enhanced respiratory burst, but the relative role of various priming agents in this process remains incompletely understood. We therefore set out to identify mediators of PMN priming during coagulation and trauma-shock and determine whether PMN reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in this manner could influence organ injury and coagulation. Initial experiments demonstrated that PMN are primed for predominantly extracellular ROS production by products of coagulation, which was abrogated by CD88/C5a receptor(C5aR) inhibition. The importance of this was highlighted further by demonstrating that known PMN priming agents result in fractionally different amounts of extracellular versus intracellular ROS release depending on the agent used. Plasma from trauma patients in haemodynamic shock (n = 10) also primed PMN for extracellular ROS in a C5a-dependent manner, which correlated with both complement alternative pathway activation and thrombin generation. Furthermore, PMN primed by preincubation with products of blood coagulation directly caused loss of endothelial barrier function in vitro that was abrogated by C5aR blockade or NADPH oxidase inhibition. Finally, we show in a murine model of trauma-shock that p47phox knock-out (KO) mice with PMN incapable of generating ROS were protected from inflammatory end-organ injury and activated protein C-mediated coagulopathy. In summary, we demonstrate that trauma-shock and coagulation primes PMN for predominantly extracellular ROS production in a C5a-dependent manner that contributes to endothelial barrier loss and organ injury, and potentially enhances traumatic coagulopathy.

Abstract
The overpowering effect of trauma on the immune system is undisputed. Severe trauma is characterized by systemic cytokine generation, activation and dysregulation of systemic inflammatory response complementopathy and coagulopathy, has been immensely instrumental in understanding the underlying mechanisms of the innate immune system during systemic inflammation. The compartmentalized functions of the innate and adaptive immune systems are being gradually recognized as an overlapping, interactive and dynamic system of responsive elements. Nonetheless the current knowledge of the complement cascade and its interaction with adaptive immune response mediators and cells, including T- and B-cells, is limited. In this review, we discuss what is known about the bridging effects of the complement system on the adaptive immune system and which unexplored areas could be crucial in understanding how the complement and adaptive immune systems interact following trauma.

Abstract
PURPOSE Myeloid dendritic cells (MDC) decline significantly after multiple traumas which might be due to an increased migration into injured regions. Ubiquitin is released from dying cells and is increased in serum after trauma. Ubiquitin can bind to the chemokine receptor CXCR4. Thus, we hypothesized that elevated ubiquitin provides a chemotactic signal for MDC to injured regions. METHODS Surgical wound fluid (SWF) and serum from patients with mono-trauma (n = 20) were used to simulate the humoral situation in injured tissue. MDC were identified by flow cytometry. Chemotaxis was measured using transwell migration assays. Ubiquitin and CXCL12 (natural CXCR4 ligand) were determined by ELISA. RESULTS MDC express CXCR4 and fluorescence-labeled ubiquitin binds to MDC. Ubiquitin exerts a dose-dependent chemotactic effect (fourfold at 100 ng/mL, p < 0.05). Ubiquitin concentration was sixfold higher in SWF (p < 0.05), whereas CXCL12 was increased in serum. MDC migration towards SWF was significantly reduced (- 40%, p < 0.05), if ubiquitin was neutralized by specific antibodies. CONCLUSIONS Ubiquitin is increased in SWF and exerts a significant chemotactic effect on MDC. This mechanism might play a role in attraction of immune cells to injured regions and might contribute to the decline of circulating MDC in multiple traumas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major Trauma remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Blunt Thoracic Injury (BTI) accounts for > 15% of United Kingdom (UK) trauma admissions and is consistently associated with respiratory related complications that include pneumonia and respiratory failure. Despite this, it is unclear in current clinical practice how BTI impacts on the recovering trauma patients after discharge from hospital. This study aimed to investigate the state of knowledge on the impact of BTI on the long-term outcomes and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). METHODS Data were sourced from Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, CINAHL and Science Direct using a pre-defined systematic search strategy. A subsequent hand search of key references was used to identify potentially missed studies. Abstracts were screened for eligibility and inclusion. Fifteen studies met the eligibility criteria and were critically appraised. Data were extracted, analysed and synthesised in categories and sub-categories following a narrative approach. RESULTS Three major themes were identified from the 15 studies included in this review: (i) physical impact of BTI, (ii) psychological impact of BTI and (iii) socio-economic impact of BTI. The bulk of the available data focused on the physical impact where further sub-themes included: (i) physical functioning, (ii) ongoing unresolved pain, (iii) reduced respiratory function, (iv) thoracic structural integrity. Although there was a substantial difference in the length and method of follow up, there remains a general trend towards physical symptoms improving over time, particularly over the first six months after injury. Despite this, where sequelae continued at six months it remained likely that these would also be present at two years after injury. CONCLUSION The literature review demonstrated that BTI is associated with substantial sequelae that impacts on all aspects of daily functioning. Despite this there remains a paucity of data relating to long term outcomes in the BTI population, especially relating to psychological and socio-economic impact. There is also little consensus on the measures, tools and time-frames used to measure outcomes and HRQoL in this population. The full impact of BTI on this population needs further exploration.

Abstract
The emerging field of pathway-based feature selection that incorporates biological information conveyed by gene sets/pathways to guide the selection of relevant genes has become increasingly popular and widespread. In this study, we adapt a gene set analysis method - the significance analysis of microarray gene set reduction (SAMGSR) algorithm to carry out feature selection for longitudinal microarray data, and propose a pathway-based feature selection algorithm - the two-level SAMGSR method. By using simulated data and a real-world application, we demonstrate that a gene's expression profiles over time can be considered as a gene set. Thus a suitable gene set analysis method can be utilized or modified to execute the selection of relevant genes for longitudinal omics data. We believe this work paves the way for more research to bridge feature selection and gene set analysis with the development of novel pathway-based feature selection algorithms.

Abstract
Early after injury, local tissue damage induces a local and systemic inflammatory response that activates the immune system and leads to the development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). This post-traumatic response often results in uncontrolled release of inflammatory mediators and over-activation of the immune system, which occasionally results in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). In parallel, a state of immunosuppression develops. This counter-regulating suppression of different cellular and humoral immune functions has been termed "compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome (CARS)." Both SIRS and CARS occur simultaneously even in the initial phase after injury. Pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines have been suggested to play a major role in development of SIRS, although the degree of involvement of the different cytokines is quite disparate. While TNF-α and IL-1β are quite irrelevant for predicting organ dysfunction, IL-6 is the parameter that best predicts mortality. The hyperinflammatory state seems to be the cause of post-traumatic immunosuppression and heat shock proteins (HSPs), which have been proposed as one of the endogenous stimuli for the deterioration of the immune system acting as danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Extracellular HSPA1A released from injured tissues increase up to ten times immediately after trauma and even more in patients with MODS. It has powerful immune properties that could contribute to post-traumatic immunosuppression through several mechanisms that have been previously described, so HSPs could represent trauma-associated immunomodulatory mediators. For this reason, HSPA1A has been suggested to be a helpful early prognostic biomarker of trauma after severe injury: serial quantification of serum HSPA1A and anti-Hsp70 concentrations in the first hours after trauma is proposed to be used as a predictive biomarker of MODS and immunosuppression development in polytraumatized patients.
