Ancuța DL, Lovati AB, Coman C. The clinical significance of inflammatory biomarkers, IL6 cytokine, and systemic immune inflammatory index in rabbit model of acute and chronic Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis-induced osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Infections are a major complication of open fractures and fracture fixation. In this study, an innovative bioactive medical device was used to experimentally treat MRSE-induced osteomyelitis in rabbit tibia. This paper investigates the clinical significance of inflammatory biomarkers (NLR, PLR, MLR and PMR), SII and IL-6 and assesses their role in the development of osteomyelitis. The main objective is to identify the utility of hematological reports derived from neutrophils, leukocytes, monocytes and platelets in the evolution of implant-related osteomyelitis and the estimation of treatment efficiency. In particular, this study compares the response of these inflammatory markers to different treatments in the presence or absence of bioactive materials and/or topical antibiotics over time. The analysis of the threads showed that NLR, PLR and SII had high values in the acute phase of the disease, so that after chronicization, they decrease. The animals treated with vancomycin nano-functionalized peptide-enriched silk fibroin-coated implants showed lower levels of inflammatory biomarkers compared to the other groups (empty implants and peptide-enriched silk fibroin-coated implants). NLR, PLR and SII, complemented by IL-6 can be used as fairly accurate biomarkers for the diagnosis of osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Mandibular reconstruction requires functional and aesthetic repair and is further complicated by contamination from oral and skin flora. Antibiotic-releasing porous space maintainers have been developed for the local release of vancomycin and to promote soft tissue attachment. In this study, mandibular defects in six sheep were inoculated with 106 colony forming units of Staphylococcus aureus; three sheep were implanted with unloaded porous space maintainers and three sheep were implanted with vancomycin-loaded space maintainers within the defect site. During the same surgery, 3D-printed in vivo bioreactors containing autograft or xenograft were implanted adjacent to rib periosteum. After 9 weeks, animals were euthanized, and tissues were analyzed. Antibiotic-loaded space maintainers were able to prevent dehiscence of soft tissue overlying the space maintainer, reduce local inflammatory cells, eliminate the persistence of pathogens, and prevent the increase in mandibular size compared to unloaded space maintainers in this sheep model. Animals with an untreated mandibular infection formed bony tissues with greater density and maturity within the distal bioreactors. Additionally, tissues grown in autograft-filled bioreactors had higher compressive moduli and higher maximum screw pull-out forces than xenograft-filled bioreactors. In summary, we demonstrated that antibiotic-releasing space maintainers are an innovative approach to preserve a robust soft tissue pocket while clearing infection, and that local infections can increase local and remote bone growth.

Abstract
Diagnosis and management of bone and joint infections (BJI) is a challenging task. The high intra and inter patient's variability in terms of clinical presentation makes it impossible to rely on a systematic description or classical statistical analysis for its diagnosis. Advances can be achieved through a better understanding of the system behavior that results from the interactions between the components at a micro-scale level, which is difficult to mastered using traditional methods. Multiple studies from the literature report factors and interactions that affect the dynamics of the BJI system. The objectives of this study were (i) to perform a systematic review to identify relevant interactions between agents (cells, pathogens) and parameters values that characterize agents and interactions, and (ii) to develop a two dimensional computational model of the BJI system based on the results of the systematic review. The model would simulate the behavior resulting from the interactions on the cellular and molecular levels to explore the BJI dynamics, using an agent-based modeling approach. The BJI system's response to different microbial inoculum levels was simulated. The model succeeded in mimicking the dynamics of bacteria, the innate immune cells, and the bone mass during the first stage of infection and for different inoculum levels in a consistent manner. The simulation displayed the destruction in bone tissue as a result of the alteration in bone remodeling process during the infection. The model was used to generate different patterns of system behaviors that could be analyzed in further steps. Simulations results suggested evidence for the existence of latent infections. Finally, we presented a way to analyze and synthesize massive simulated data in a concise and comprehensive manner based on the semi-supervised identification of ordinary differential equations (ODE) systems. It allows to use the known framework for temporal and structural ODE analyses and therefore summarize the whole simulated system dynamical behavior. This first model is intended to be validated by in vivo or in vitro data and expected to generate hypotheses to be challenged by real data. Step by step, it can be modified and complexified based on the test/validation iteration cycles.

Abstract
Bone infections are difficult to diagnose and treat, especially when a prosthetic joint replacement or implant is involved. Bone loss is a major complication of osteomyelitis, but the mechanism behind has mainly been investigated in cell cultures and has not been confirmed in human settings. Inflammation is important in initiating an appropriate immune response to invading pathogens. However, many of the signaling molecules used by the immune system can also modulate bone remodeling and contribute to bone resorption during osteomyelitis. Our current knowledge of the inflammatory response relies heavily on animal models as research based on human samples is scarce. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common causes of bone infections and is the pathogen of choice in animal models. The regulation of inflammatory genes during prosthetic joint infections and implant-associated osteomyelitis has only been studied in rodent models. It is important to consider the validity of an animal model when results are extrapolated to humans, and both bone composition and the immune system of pigs has been shown to be more similar to humans, than to rodents. Here in vivo studies on the inflammatory response to prosthetic joint infections and implant-associated osteomyelitis are reviewed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fracture is a common consequence of osteoporosis and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Recently, increasing evidence has suggested that polymorphisms in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) gene were associated with osteoporosis risk and bone mineral density (BMD), but results remain conflicting. We herein performed a meta-analysis based on evidence currently available from the literature to make a more precise estimation of these relationships. METHODS The PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) and Wan Fang databases were searched for eligible studies. Articles meeting the inclusion criteria were comprehensively reviewed and all available data were accumulated. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) or mean differences (MDs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to assess the strength of the relationships. RESULTS A total of 15 studies involving 5273 subjects were included in our meta-analysis. The GG genotype of TNF-α G308A was associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis under a mutant model (GG vs GA+AA: OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.51-0.77, P < 0.0001, I2 = 31%). Additionally, we also observed a significant association between G308A polymorphism and BMD of lumbar spine (AA vs GG: P = 0.01, I2 = 53%). However, TNF-α T1031C, C857T and C863A polymorphisms had no obvious impacts on osteoporosis risk. CONCLUSIONS The present meta-analysis demonstrated that TNF-α G308A polymorphism may act as a potential candidate biomarker for screening, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis, which will help improve individualized therapy of osteoporosis patients in clinics.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation may cause endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis, resulting in subsequent erectile dysfunction (ED). We examined the relationship between chronic osteomyelitis, which is a chronic inflammatory disease, and ED. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the National Health Insurance Research Database. After excluding patients <40 years of age, 677 male patients newly diagnosed with chronic osteomyelitis (COM) from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2011 were identified for the study. The non-osteomyelitis comparison cohort consisted of 2706 male participants. The incidence of ED was 2.66-fold higher in the COM cohort than in the non-osteomyelitis cohort (4.01 vs 1.51 per 10 000 person-years). After adjusting for age and comorbidities of coronary heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, depression, stroke, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, the patients with COM had a 2.82-fold risk of ED (95% confidence interval=1.44-5.56). The incidence of ED increased with that of comorbidities in both cohorts. The highest hazard ratio was in patients between 40 and 59 years of age who had COM. Our data showed, for the first time, that COM is a possible risk factor for the development of ED.

Abstract
In this study, we assessed the effectiveness of inflammatory markers to diagnose and monitor the treatment of osteomyelitis in the diabetic foot. We evaluated 35 consecutive patients admitted to our hospital with infected foot ulcers. Patients were divided in two groups based on the results of bone culture and histopathology: osteomyelitis and no osteomyelitis. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP1α) were measured at baseline after 3 and 6 weeks of standard therapy. PCT levels in the osteomyelitis group were significantly higher at baseline than in the group with no osteomyelitis (P = 0·049). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the levels of the other markers. CRP, ESR, PCT and IL-6 levels significantly declined in the group with osteomyelitis after starting therapy, while MCP-1 increased (P = 0·002). TNFα and MIP1α levels were below range in 80 out of 97 samples and therefore not reported. Our results suggest that PCT might be useful to distinguish osteomyelitis in infected foot ulcers. CRP, ESR, PCT and IL-6 are valuable when monitoring the effect of therapy.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis is a significant complication of sickle cell disease (SCD), and several factors contribute to its pathogenesis, including altered expression of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. In view of the role of interleukin-10 (IL-10) as an anti-inflammatory cytokine, we tested the notion that SCD osteomyelitis is associated with a reduction in IL-10 secretion and, hence, precipitation of a proinflammatory state. Study subjects comprised 52 SCD patients with confirmed diagnosis of osteomyelitis and 165 age- and gender-matched SCD patients with negative histories of osteomyelitis. Results obtained showed that IL-10 serum levels in SCD osteomyelitis patients were significantly lower than those of control SCD patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrated that altered IL-10 serum levels predicted the development of osteomyelitis, and the mean area under ROC curves of IL-10 was 0.810 among SCD patients with osteomyelitis. A systematic shift in IL-10 serum levels toward lower values was seen in osteomyelitis cases, with an increased osteomyelitis risk associated with decreased IL-10 levels. Multivariate logistic regression analyses confirmed the independent association of reduced IL-10 with osteomyelitis after controlling for sickle hemoglobin (HbS), fetal hemoglobin (HbF), platelet count, and white blood cell (WBC) count. These data support the strong association of decreased IL-10 levels with osteomyelitis, thereby supporting a role for IL-10 in osteomyelitis follow-up.

Abstract
In bacterial bone infections, excessively formed oxidants may result in local and systemic oxidative stress. Vitamin C is the major extracellular nonenzymatic antioxidant, also implicated in bone cells metabolism and viability. The physiological functions of vitamin C largely depend on its redox status. We sequentially assessed oxidative stress markers, hydroperoxides and malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant activity (AOA), total vitamin C, ascorbic acid (Asc), and oxidized/reduced vitamin C ratio in 137 patients with acute osteomyelitis (OM). Compared to 52 healthy controls, in OM group baseline serum hydroperoxides, MDA and oxidized/reduced vitamin C ratio were higher whilst Asc and AOA were lower (P < 0.05, resp.). On the other side, total vitamin C levels in patients and controls were similar (P > 0.05), thereby suggesting a relative rather than absolute vitamin C deficiency in OM. During the follow-up, oxidative stress markers, AOA, and oxidizedreduced vitamin C ratio were gradually returned to normal, while there was no apparent change of total vitamin C concentrations. Persistently high values of oxidized/reduced vitamin C ratio and serum MDA were found in subacute OM. In conclusion, acute OM was associated with enhanced systemic oxidative stress and the shift of vitamin C redox status towards oxidized forms.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation is a well-known risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The influence of chronic osteomyelitis (COM), an inflammatory disease, on the risk of developing T2DM remains unknown. This study investigated the risk of developing T2DM among COM patients. Using a retrospective cohort study, we identified 20,641 patients with COM and 82,564 age- and sex-matched controls for comparison from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database (NHIRD) from 1997 to 2010. We followed up the COM cohort and the comparison cohort to compare the incidences of diabetes (ICD-9-CM code 250) until the end of 2010 or until the patients were censored because of death or withdrawal from the insurance program. The diabetes risk was analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. The incidence of T2DM was 1.6-fold higher in the group of COM patients than in the comparison group (29.1 vs. 18.2 per 10,000 person-years). The COM patients exhibited a higher diabetes risk [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.64, 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.44-1.87] after controlling for the baseline and comorbidities. Younger and higher income patients exhibited a higher COM-to-reference incidence rate ratio (IRR) for T2DM compared with that of their counterparts. We also observed an increased risk of T2DM in COM patients with comorbidities (aHR = 1.70, 95 % CI = 1.47-1.96) compared with that of their non-COM counterparts. This is the first study to report the association between COM and an increased risk of developing T2DM, particularly among younger and higher income patients.

Abstract
We investigated the cytokine profile of peripheral mononuclear cells from chronic osteomyelitis (OST) patients following in vitro stimulation with staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA). We demonstrate that stimulation with SEA induced prominent lymphocyte proliferation and high levels of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10 secretion in both OST and non-infected individuals (NI). Even though stimulation with SEA had no impact on IL-6 production in either patient group, the baseline level of IL-6 production by cells from OST patients was always significantly less than that produced by cells from NI. After classifying the osteomyelitic episodes based on the time after the last reactivation event as "early" (1-4 months) or "late" osteomyelitis (5-12 months), we found that increased levels of TNF-α and IL-4 in combination with decreased levels of IL-6 were observed in the early episodes. By contrast, increased levels of IL-10, IL-2 and IL-6 were hallmarks of late episodes. Our data demonstrate that early osteomyelitic episodes are accompanied by an increased frequency of "high producers" of TNF-α and IL-4, whereas late events are characterised by increased frequencies of "high producers" of IL-10, IL-6 and IL-2. These findings demonstrate the distinct cytokine profiles in chronic osteomyelitis, with a distinct regulation of IL-6 production during early and late episodes.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is the single most common cause of osteomyelitis in humans. Incidences of osteomyelitis caused by S. aureus have increased dramatically in recent years, in part due to the appearance of community-acquired antibiotic resistant strains. Therefore, understanding the pathogenesis of this organism has become imperative. Recently, we have described the surprising ability of bone-forming osteoblasts to secrete a number of important immune mediators when exposed to S. aureus in vitro. In the present study, we provide the first evidence for the in vivo production of such molecules by osteoblasts during bacterial infection of bone. These studies demonstrate the expression of the key inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 by osteoblasts in organ cultures of neonatal mouse calvaria, and in vivo using a mouse model that closely resembles the pathology of trauma-induced staphylococcal osteomyelitis, as determined by confocal microscopic analysis. Importantly, we have established the clinical relevancy of these findings in infected human bone tissue from patients with S. aureus-associated osteomyelitis. As such, these studies demonstrate that bacterial challenge of osteoblasts during bone diseases, such as osteomyelitis, induces cells to produce inflammatory molecules that can direct appropriate host responses or contribute to progressive inflammatory damage.

Abstract
Bone infection or osteomyelitis is characterized by uncontrolled inflammation and destructive bone loss although little is known about immunopathogenesis of infection. We investigated control of chemokine secretion from osteoblasts infected with either Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which normally elicits a granulomatous host response, or Staphylococcus aureus, which drives a host response dominated by neutrophil influx. We show that M. tuberculosis infection of cultured and primary osteoblasts induces extensive secretion of the chemokines interleukin (IL)-8, inducible protein (IP) 10, RANTES, and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP) 1 within 72 h (1630 +/- 280 pg/ml per 4 x 10(5) cells, 74,130 +/- 8480 pg/ml per 4 x 10(5) cells, 18,330 +/- 3040 pg/ml per 4 x 10(5) cells, and 138,670 +/- 13,340 pg/ml per 4 x 10(5) cells, respectively, for MG-63 osteoblasts). S. aureus infection also results in secretion of these chemokines but secretion is delayed and of lesser magnitude (210 +/- 10 pg/ml per 4 x 10(5) cells, 11,570 +/- 1240 pg/ml per 4 x 10(5) cells, 930 +/- 34 pg/ml per 4 x 10(5) cells, and 13,770 +/- 720 pg/ml per 4 x 10(5) cells for IL-8, IP-10, RANTES, and MCP-1, respectively). The minimal up-regulation of secretion of the neutrophil attractant IL-8 in staphylococcal infection is both striking and unexpected. In both infections, chemokine secretion was dependent on the presence of live organisms. Differences in kinetics and magnitude of chemokine secretion are associated with distinct patterns of mRNA expression, as assessed by ribonuclease protection assay (RPA) and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In addition, nuclear localization of the transcription factor activator protein (AP) 1 in M. tuberculosis-infected osteoblasts also is distinct as compared with S. aureus-infected cells. In summary, this study shows that osteoblasts have an important pathogen-specific role in control of chemokine gene expression and secretion during the human immune response to osteomyelitis.
