Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as key regulators of immune function across multiple diseases. Severe burn injury is a devastating trauma with significant immune dysfunction that results in an ∼12% mortality rate due to sepsis-induced organ failure, pneumonia, and other infections. Severe burn causes a biphasic immune response: an early (0-72 h) hyper-inflammatory state, with release of damage-associated molecular pattern molecules, such as high-mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1), and proinflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1β), followed by an immunosuppressive state (1-2+ wk post injury), associated with increased susceptibility to life-threatening infections. We have reported that early after severe burn injury HMGB1 and IL-1β are enriched in plasma EVs. Here we tested the impact of EVs isolated after burn injury on phenotypic and functional consequences in vivo and in vitro using adoptive transfers of EV. EVs isolated early from mice that underwent a 20% total body surface area burn injury (burn EVs) caused similar hallmark cytokine responses in naïve mice to those seen in burned mice. Burn EVs transferred to RAW264.7 macrophages caused similar functional (i.e., cytokine secretion) and immune gene expression changes seen with their associated phase of post-burn immune dysfunction. Burn EVs isolated early (24 h) induced MCP-1, IL-12p70, and IFNγ, whereas EVs isolated later blunted RAW proinflammatory responses to bacterial endotoxin (LPS). We also describe significantly increased HMGB1 cargo in burn EVs purified days 1 to 7 after injury. Thus, burn EVs cause immune outcomes in naïve mice and macrophages similar to findings after severe burn injury, suggesting EVs promote post-burn immune dysfunction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Combined burn injury and hemorrhagic shock are a common cause of injury in wounded warfighters. Current protocols for resuscitation for isolated burn injury and isolated hemorrhagic shock are well defined, but the optimal strategy for combined injury is not fully established. Direct peritoneal resuscitation (DPR) has been shown to improve survival in rats after hemorrhagic shock, but its role in a combined burn/hemorrhage injury is unknown. We hypothesized that DPR would improve survival in mice subjected to combined burn injury and hemorrhage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male C57/BL6J mice aged 8 weeks were subjected to a 7-second 30% total body surface area scald in a 90°C water bath. Following the scald, mice received DPR with 1.5 mL normal saline or 1.5 mL peritoneal dialysis solution (Delflex). Control mice received no peritoneal solution. Mice underwent a controlled hemorrhage shock via femoral artery cannulation to a systolic blood pressure of 25 mm Hg for 30 minutes. Mice were then resuscitated to a target blood pressure with either lactated Ringer's (LR) or a 1:1 ratio of packed red blood cells (pRBCs) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP). Mice were observed for 24 hours following injury. RESULTS Median survival time for mice with no DPR was 1.47 hours in combination with intravascular LR resuscitation and 2.08 hours with 1:1 pRBC:FFP. Median survival time significantly improved with the addition of intraperitoneal normal saline or Delflex. Mice that received DPR followed by 1:1 pRBC:FFP required less intravascular volume than mice that received DPR with LR, pRBC:FFP alone, and LR alone. Intraperitoneal Delflex was associated with higher levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha and macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha and lower levels of interleukin 10 and intestinal fatty acid binding protein. Intraperitoneal normal saline resulted in less lung injury 1 hour postresuscitation, but increased to similar severity of Delflex at 4 hours. CONCLUSIONS After a combined burn injury and hemorrhage, DPR leads to increased survival in mice. Survival was similar with the use of normal saline or Delflex. DPR with normal saline reduced the inflammatory response seen with Delflex and delayed the progression of acute lung injury. DPR may be a valuable strategy in the treatment of patients with combined burn injury and hemorrhage.

Abstract
Traumatic injuries are a leading cause of death and disability in both military and civilian populations. Given the complexity and diversity of traumatic injuries, novel and individualized treatment strategies are required to optimize outcomes. Cellular therapies have potential benefit for the treatment of acute or chronic injuries, and various cell-based pharmaceuticals are currently being tested in preclinical studies or in clinical trials. Cellular therapeutics may have the ability to complement existing therapies, especially in restoring organ function lost due to tissue disruption, prolonged hypoxia or inflammatory damage. In this article we highlight the current status and discuss future directions of cellular therapies for the treatment of traumatic injury. Both published research and ongoing clinical trials are discussed here.

Abstract
Background: Burn injury continues to be a significant cause of morbidity and death, with infectious complications being the primary cause of death. Patients are susceptible to overwhelming infection secondary to both the physical breakdown of the skin and mucosal barrier and the immune dysfunction that accompanies the inflammatory response to a major burn. With resistance to traditional antibiosis looming as a serious threat to patient outcome, advancement in the treatment of burn infections is imperative. Methods: Between February 15 and March 15, 2020, a search of Pubmed and clinicaltrials.gov was performed using search terms such as "burn immunotherapy," "therapeutic microorganisms in burn," "burn infection clinical trials," and applicable variations. Results: Topical antimicrobial drugs continue to be standard of care for burn wound injuries, but personalized and molecular treatments that rely on immune manipulation of the host show great promise. We discuss novel therapeutics for the treatment of burn infection: Probiotics and therapeutic microorganisms, immune modulators, tailored monoclonal antibodies, and extracellular vesicles and proteins. Conclusions: The treatment strategies discussed employ manipulation of structure and function in host immune cells and pathogen virulence for improved outcomes in burn infection.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening inflammatory lung condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, the current treatment for this disease is mainly supportive. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) due to their immunomodulatory properties are increasingly being studied for the treatment of ARDS and have shown promise in multiple animal studies. The therapeutic effects of MSCs are exerted in part in a paracrine manner by releasing extracellular vesicles (EVs), rather than local engraftment. MSC-derived EVs are emerging as potential alternatives to MSC therapy in ARDS. In this review, we will introduce EVs and briefly discuss current data on EVs and MSCs in ARDS. We will discuss current literature on the role of MSC-derived EVs in pathogenesis and treatment of ARDS and their potential as a treatment strategy in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE This review compiles what is known about extracellular vesicles (EVs), their bioactive cargo, and how they might be used to treat radiation-induced brain injury. Radiotherapy (RT) is effective in cancer treatment, but can cause substantial damage to normal central nervous system tissue. Stem cell therapy has been shown to be effective in treating cognitive dysfunction arising from RT, but there remain safety concerns when grafting foreign stem cells into the brain (i.e. immunogenicity, teratoma). These limitations prompted the search for cell-free alternatives, and pointed to EVs that have been shown to have similar ameliorating effects in other tissues and injury models. CONCLUSIONS EVs are nano-scale and lipid-bound vesicles that readily pass the blood-brain barrier. Arguably the most important bioactive cargo within EVs are RNAs, in particular microRNAs (miRNA). A single miRNA can modulate entire gene networks and signalling within the recipient cell. Determining functionally relevant miRNA could lead to therapeutic treatments where synthetically-derived EVs are used as delivery vectors for miRNA. Stem cell-derived EVs can be effective in treating brain injury including radiation-induced cognitive deficits. Of particular interest are systemic modes of administration which obviate the need for invasive procedures.
