Abstract
Acute lung injury is a life-threatening inflammatory response caused by severe infection. Toll-like receptors in alveolar macrophages (AMΦ) recognize the molecular constituents of pathogens and activate the host's innate immune responses. Numerous studies have documented the importance of TLR-TLR cross talk, but few studies have specifically addressed the relationship between TLR4 and TLR3. We explored a novel mechanism of TLR3 up-regulation that is induced by LPS-TLR4 signaling in a dose- and time-dependent manner in AMΦ from C57BL/6 mice, while the LPS-induced TLR3 expression was significantly reduced in TLR4-/- and Myd88-/- mice and following pretreatment with a NF-κB inhibitor. The enhanced TLR3 up-regulation in AMΦ augmented the expression of cytokines and chemokines in response to sequential challenges with LPS and Poly I:C, a TLR3 ligand, which was physiologically associated with amplified AMΦ-induced PMN migration into lung alveoli. Our study demonstrates that the synergistic effect between TLR4 and TLR3 in macrophages is an important determinant in acute lung injury and, more importantly, that TLR3 up-regulation is dependent on TLR4-MyD88-NF-κB signaling. These results raise the possibility that bacterial infections can induce sensitivity to viral infections, which may have important implications for the therapeutic manipulation of the innate immune system.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe pulmonary reaction requiring hospitalization, which is incited by many causes, including bacterial and viral pneumonia as well as near drowning, aspiration of gastric contents, pancreatitis, intravenous drug use, and abdominal trauma. In humans, ARDS is very well defined by a list of clinical parameters. However, until recently no consensus was available regarding the criteria of ARDS that should be evident in an experimental animal model. This lack was rectified by a 2011 workshop report by the American Thoracic Society, which defined the main features proposed to delineate the presence of ARDS in laboratory animals. These should include histological changes in parenchymal tissue, altered integrity of the alveolar capillary barrier, inflammation, and abnormal pulmonary function. Murine ARDS models typically are defined by such features as pulmonary edema and leukocyte infiltration in cytological preparations of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and/or lung sections. Common pathophysiological indicators of ARDS in mice include impaired pulmonary gas exchange and histological evidence of inflammatory infiltrates into the lung. Thus, morphological endpoints remain a vital component of data sets assembled from animal ARDS models.

Abstract
Older patients may experience persisting postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), which is considered to largely depend on surgery-induced (neuro)inflammation. We hypothesize that inflammatory events before surgery could predispose patients to POCD. When part of our aged rats developed Mycoplasma pulmonis, this presented the unique opportunity to investigate whether a pulmonary infection before surgery influences surgery-induced neuroinflammation and POCD. Male 18-mo-old Wistar rats that had recovered from an active mycoplasma infection (infection) and control rats (healthy) were subjected to abdominal surgery and jugular vein catheterization under general anesthesia (surgery) or remained naïve (control). In postoperative week 2, behavioral tests were performed to assess cognitive performance and exploratory behavior. The acute systemic inflammatory response was investigated by measuring plasma IL-6 and IL-12. In the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex and striatum, microglial activity, neurogenesis, and concentrations of IL-6, IL-12, IL1B, and brain-derived neurotropic factor on postoperative day 14 were determined. Rats still showed signs of increased neuroinflammatory activity, as well as cognitive and behavioral changes, 3 wk after the symptoms of infection had subsided. Rats that had experienced infection before surgery exhibited a more generalized and exacerbated postoperative cognitive impairment compared with healthy surgery rats, as well as a prolonged increase in systemic cytokine levels and increased microglial activation in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. These findings support the hypothesis that an infection before surgery under general anesthesia exacerbates POCD. Future studies are necessary to determine whether the found effects are aging specific and to investigate the magnitude and time course of this effect in a controlled manner.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a major component of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome after hemorrhagic shock (HS) resulting from major surgery and trauma. The increased susceptibility in HS patients to the development of ALI suggests not yet fully elucidated mechanisms that enhance proinflammatory responses and/or suppress anti-inflammatory responses in the lung. Alveolar macrophages (AMϕ) are at the center of the pathogenesis of ALI after HS. We have previously reported that HS-activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) interact with macrophages to influence inflammation progress. In this study, we explore a novel function of PMNs regulating AMϕ anti-inflammatory mechanisms involving autophagy. Using a mouse "two-hit" model of HS/resuscitation followed by intratracheal injection of muramyl dipeptide, we demonstrate that HS initiates high mobility group box 1/TLR4 signaling, which upregulates NOD2 expression in AMϕ and sensitizes them to subsequent NOD2 ligand muramyl dipeptide to augment lung inflammation. In addition, upregulated NOD2 signaling induces autophagy in AMϕ, which negatively regulates lung inflammation through feedback suppression of NOD2-RIP2 signaling and inflammasome activation. Importantly, we further demonstrate that HS-activated PMNs that migrate in alveoli counteract the anti-inflammatory effect of autophagy in AMϕ, possibly through NAD(P)H oxidase-mediated signaling to enhance I-κB kinase γ phosphorylation, NF-κB activation, and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain protein 3 inflammasome activation, and therefore augment post-HS lung inflammation. These findings explore a previously unidentified complexity in the mechanisms of ALI, which involves cell-cell interaction and receptor cross talk.

Abstract
Alarmins are endogenous molecules that are constitutively available and released upon tissue damage and activate the immune system. Current evidence indicates that uncontrolled and excessive release of alarmins contributes to the dysregulated processes seen in many inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, as well as tumorigenesis and cancer spread. Conversely, alarmins have also been found to play a major role in the orchestration of tissue homeostasis, including repair and remodeling in the heart, skin, and nervous system. Here, we provide an update and overview on alarmins, highlighting the areas that may benefit from this clinical translation.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a serious health concern, and TBI is one of the leading causes of death and disability, especially among young adults. Although preventive education, increased usage of safety devices, and TBI management have dramatically increased the potential for surviving a brain injury, there is still a need to develop reliable methods to diagnose TBI, the secondary pathologies associated with TBI, and predicting the outcomes of TBI. Biomarkers (changes of amount or activity in a biomolecule that reflect injury or disease) have shown promise in the diagnosis of several conditions, including cancer, heart failure, infection, and genetic disorders. A variety of proteins, small molecules, and lipid products have been proposed as potential biomarkers of brain damage from TBI. Although some of these changes have been reported to correlate with mortality and outcome, further research is required to identify prognostic biomarkers. This need is punctuated in mild injuries that cannot be readily detected using current techniques, as well as in defining patient risk for developing TBI-associated secondary injuries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mechanical ventilation is associated with overwhelming inflammatory responses that are associated with ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The activation of adenosine A2A receptors has been reported to attenuate inflammatory cascades. HYPOTHESIS The administration of A2A receptors agonist ameliorates VILI. METHODS Rats were subjected to hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation as a first hit to induce systemic inflammation. The animals randomly received the selective A2A receptor agonist CGS-21680 or a vehicle control in a blinded fashion at the onset of resuscitation phase. They were then randomized to receive mechanical ventilation as a second hit with a high tidal volume of 20 mL/kg and zero positive end-expiratory pressure, or a low tidal volume of 6 mL/kg with positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cm H2O. RESULTS The administration of CGS-21680 attenuated lung injury as evidenced by a decrease in respiratory elastance, lung edema, lung injury scores, neutrophil recruitment in the lung, and production of inflammatory cytokines, compared with the vehicle-treated animals. CONCLUSIONS The selective A2A receptor agonist may have a place as a novel therapeutic approach in reducing VILI.

Abstract
Substantial inflammatory disturbances following major trauma have been found throughout the posttraumatic course of polytraumatized patients, which was confirmed in experimental models of trauma and in vitro settings. As a consequence, the principle of damage control surgery (DCS) has developed over the last two decades and has been successfully introduced in the treatment of severely injured patients. The aim of damage control surgery and orthopaedics (DCO) is to limit additional iatrogenic trauma in the vulnerable phase following major injury. Considering traumatic brain and acute lung injury, implants for quick stabilization like external fixators as well as decided surgical approaches with minimized potential for additional surgery-related impairment of the patient's immunologic state have been developed and used widely. It is obvious, that a similar approach should be undertaken in the case of spinal trauma in the polytraumatized patient. Yet, few data on damage control spine surgery are published to so far, controlled trials are missing and spinal injury is addressed only secondarily in the broadly used ATLS(R) polytrauma algorithm. This article reviews the literature on spine trauma assessment and treatment in the polytrauma setting, gives hints on how to assess the spine trauma patient regarding to the ATLS(R) protocol and recommendations on therapeutic strategies in spinal injury in the polytraumatized patient.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical of physiological significance. The changes in the production of NO during the fracture healing process are not well known. This clinical prospective study was planned to determine these changes in patients with fractured long bone(s), who underwent surgery in the 3rd week after fracture. The patients were divided into two groups: 20 patients with an isolated femoral fracture and 20 patients with multiple fractures, including a femoral fracture. Venous blood was drawn from the healthy volunteers (n = 20) once, and from the patients seven times during 21 days after fracture. NO level was measured as nitrite in each serum sample. The serum NO levels at all measurements of the patients were significantly higher than those of the control subjects. The time-dependent changes in the NO levels were similar in both patient groups. The serum NO levels were highest in the first 6 hrs, and then decreased to the lowest level on the 3rd day. Subsequently, there was an increasing trend on the 5th, 7th and 14th days. At all times of the measurements, the NO levels were higher in patients with multiple fractures than in those with the femoral fracture, with the significant difference observed at the 6 hrs and on the 7th day. The NO levels were decreased on the 21st day after surgery. The present study suggests that NO production may be increased in considerable amounts during the first 2 weeks of fracture healing, particularly in the first 6 hrs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There has been an increased awareness of the presence and clinical importance of abdominal compartment syndrome. It is now appreciated that elevations of abdominal pressure occur in a wide variety of critically ill patients. Full-blown abdominal compartment syndrome is a clinical syndrome characterized by progressive intra-abdominal organ dysfunction resulting from elevated intra-abdominal pressure. This review provides a current, clinically focused approach to the diagnosis and management of abdominal compartment syndrome, with a particular emphasis on intensive care. METHODS Source data were obtained from a PubMed search of the medical literature, with an emphasis on the time period after 2000. PubMed "related articles" search strategies were likewise employed frequently. Additional information was derived from the Web site of the World Society of the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (http://www.wsacs.org). SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS The detrimental impact of elevated intra-abdominal pressure, progressing to abdominal compartment syndrome, is recognized in both surgical and medical intensive care units. The recent international abdominal compartment syndrome consensus conference has helped to define, characterize, and raise awareness of abdominal compartment syndrome. Because of the frequency of this condition, routine measurement of intra-abdominal pressure should be performed in high-risk patients in the intensive care unit. Evidence-based interventions can be used to minimize the risk of developing elevated intra-abdominal pressure and to aggressively treat intra-abdominal hypertension when identified. Surgical decompression remains the gold standard for rapid, definitive treatment of fully developed abdominal compartment syndrome, but nonsurgical measures can often effectively affect lesser degrees of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome.

Abstract
Introduction Axillary artery injury in the shoulder region following blunt trauma without association with either shoulder dislocation or fracture of the humeral neck has been previously reported. Axillary artery injury might also be accompanied with brachial plexus injury. However, delayed onset of brachial plexus palsy caused by a compressive hematoma associated with axillary injury after blunt trauma in the shoulder region has been rarely reported. In previous reports, this condition only occurred in old patients with sclerotic vessels. We present a case of a young patient who suffered axillary artery injury associated with brachial plexus palsy that occurred tardily due to compressive hematoma after blunt trauma in the shoulder region without association of either shoulder dislocation or humeral neck fracture. Case presentation A 16-year-old male injured his right shoulder in a motorbike accident. On initial physical evaluation, the pulses on the radial and ulnar arteries in the affected arm were palpable. Paralysis developed later from 2 days after the injury. Functions in the right arm became significantly impaired. Angiography showed complete occlusion of the axillary artery. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a mass measuring 4 × 5 cm that was suspected to be a hematoma compressing the brachial plexus in a space between the subscapular muscle and the pectoralis minor muscle. Surgery was performed on the third day after injury. In intraoperative observations, the axillary artery was occluded with thrombus along 5 cm; a subscapular artery was ruptured; the brachial plexus was compressed by the hematoma. After evacuation of the hematoma, neurolysis of the brachial plexus, and revascularization of the axillary artery, the patient had an excellent functional recovery of the affected upper limb, postoperatively. Conclusion Surgeons should be aware that axillary artery injuries may even occur in young people after severe blunt trauma in the shoulder region and can be associated with secondary brachial plexus injury due to a hematoma. For treatment in cases with progressive nervous deficit after trauma, not only reconstruction of the injured artery but also immediate evacuation of the hematoma, and exploration of the brachial plexus are necessary to avoid irreversible neurological damage.

Abstract
Multiorgan failure is a major cause of late morbidity and mortality after trauma. Reactive oxygen species generated during shock/resuscitation contribute to tissue injury by priming the immune system for an exaggerated response to subsequent inflammatory stimuli such as LPS. Stilbazulenyl nitrone (STAZN) is a novel second-generation azulenyl nitrone that has been shown to have potent antioxidant properties in a rat model of brain ischemia. We hypothesized that STAZN may confer protection against lung injury after shock/resuscitation and LPS by reducing oxidative stress and lowering the production of NF-kappaB-dependent pro-inflammatory cytokines. Sprague-Dawley rats were submitted to a two-hit model of lung injury involving hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation and subsequent intratracheal LPS injection, with and without intraperitoneal injections of STAZN. STAZN reduced overall lung injury in response to LPS alone and also after shock/resuscitation plus LPS. STAZN also reduced plasma levels of 8-isoprostane, a proxy measure of oxidative stress, indicating its antioxidant activity in vivo. The effect of STAZN was, at least in part, related to its effect on nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB and generation of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha. Azulenyl nitrones such as STAZN represent a promising novel class of antioxidants for treating organ injury.

The Evaluation of Protective Effects of FK-506 on Neural Ischemic-Reperfusion Injury: an Experimental Study. Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg 2007; 33:414-21. [PMID: 26814736 DOI: 10.1007/s00068-007-6089-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2006] [Accepted: 09/18/2006] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to delineate the mode of neuroprotective action of FK-506, and demonstrated that FK-506 could decrease oxidative stress and apoptotic cell death in an in vivo rat model of neural ischemia-reperfusion after hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Thirty rats were used as experimental subjects and divided into five equal groups. Group A rats (sham group, n = 6) were anesthetized and craniotomies were performed for collecting brain tissue samples. In group B ischemia-reperfusion (I/R + 1 h, n = 6), group C (I/R + 24 h, n = 6), group D (I/ R + 1 h FK-506, n = 6) and group E (I/R + 24 h FK-506, n = 6), systolic blood pressure of the rats decreased to 40-50% of the normal level via bleeding from the femoral vein. Thus, a hemorrhagic shock and ischemic neural tissue model was formed. The bloodwas retained and given to the remaining animals in groups B, C,Dand E via femoral vein for reperfusion 20 min after the procedure. In group D and E, 1 mg/kg FK-506 in 0.5 ml isotonic solution was administered to the rats 5 min before reperfusion. Group B and D rats were sacrificed after 1 h and group Cand E rats were sacrificed 24 h after reperfusion; the rats were sacrificed via bleeding associated with intracardiac puncture. Craniotomy was also performed in groups B, C, D and E and brain tissue samples were fixed using neutral buffered 10% formaldehyde solution for immunohistopathological examination as in group A. Brain tissue superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, tissue myeloperoxydase (MPO) activities and apoptotic cell analyses with Apo 2.7 immunohistochemically were also performed in all groups. RESULTS The result of the study revealed that the SOD activities were lower for groups B (I/R + 1 h) and C (I/ R + 24 h) than for group A (sham group) (p < 0.05). In addition, SOD activities were higher in groups D (I/ R + 1 h FK-506) and E (I/R + 24 h FK-506) than in groups B (I/R + 1 h) and C (I/R + 24 h) (p < 0.05). MDA levels, MPO activities and the number of apoptotic cells were lower in group A (sham group) than in groups B (I/R + 1 h) and C (I/R + 24 h) (p < 0.05). In addition to these MDA levels, MPO activities and the number of apoptotic cells were higher in groups B (I/R + 1 h) and C (I/R + 24 h) as compared to groups D (I/R + 1 h FK-506) and E (I/R + 24 h FK-506) (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The results suggest that the prophylactic use of FK-506 in an in situ ischemic neural tissue may prevent reperfusion injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major trauma affects the immune system, and immunosuppression may render the patients susceptible to septic complications. The purpose of this study was to investigate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced releases of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in whole blood in patients undergoing total hip replacement. METHODS Seven patients (6 females) who underwent elective total hip replacement were included. Ex vivo LPS-induced releases of TNF-alpha and IL-6 were measured in a whole blood assay at days 1, 6, 9 and 12 postoperatively, using low- and high-dose LPS incubation. At the same time, white blood cell counts were analyzed. RESULTS The amount of TNF-alpha release was significantly reduced at days 6 and 12. Compared to monocyte counts, TNF-alpha release was significantly decreased also at day 9 in low- and high-dose LPS stimulation. IL-6 in plasma was significantly increased at day 1 and normalized thereafter. There were no differences in LPS-induced IL-6 levels compared to the levels before surgery. CONCLUSION This in vivo/ex vivo study shows a reduced capacity of whole blood to release LPS-induced TNF-alpha at day 6 through to day 12 after major orthopedic surgery. Attenuated TNF-alpha release may contribute to an increased postoperative susceptibility to gram-negative sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies found hypertonicity to affect neutrophils in intact laboratory animals and in human blood cell cultures. We investigated whether infusion of hypertonic saline in a clinical relevant dose before hysterectomy affected peripheral blood neutrophils and their response to surgery. METHODS Fifteen women scheduled for open abdominal hysterectomy were randomized double-blindly to infusion of 4 mL/kg 7.5% NaCl, 4 mL/kg 0.9% NaCl, or 32 mL/kg 0.9% NaCl over 20 minutes. Blood was collected at baseline, after infusion, 1, 4, and 24 hours postoperatively for the determination of leukocyte and differential count, neutrophil membrane expression of endothelial adhesion molecules by flow cytometry, and O2- -generation by superoxide dismutase-inhibitable reduction of cytochrome C. RESULTS Surgery induced well-known changes in the number and distribution of white blood cells, reduced the expression of adhesion molecules, and halved the superoxide production unrelated to the tonicity or volume of the infused fluids. CONCLUSION Infusion of a clinically relevant dose of hypertonic saline has no detectable effect on the membrane expression of endothelial adhesion molecules or O2- -generation in circulating neutrophils after elective abdominal hysterectomy.

Abstract
Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is an acute-phase protein, which can be produced by a variety of tissue cells at the site of infection or inflammation. It plays an important role in innate immunity in the lung and in mediating acute lung injury. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of mechanical ventilation on PTX3 expression in multiple lung injury models. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were challenged with intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or hemorrhage followed by resuscitation (HS). The animals were then subjected to either relatively higher (12 ml/kg) or lower (6 ml/kg, positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cmH(2)O) volume ventilation for 4 h. High-volume ventilation significantly enhanced PTX3 expression in the lung, either alone or in combination with LPS or hemorrhage. A significant increase of PTX3 immunohistochemistry staining in the lung was seen in all injury groups. The PTX3 expression was highly correlated with the severity of lung injury determined by blood gas, lung elastance, and wet-to-dry ratio. To determine the effects of HS, LPS, or injurious ventilation (25 ml/kg) alone on PTX3 expression, another group of rats was studied. Injurious ventilation significantly damaged the lung and increased PTX3 expression. A local expression of PTX3 induced by high-volume ventilation, either alone or in combination with other pathological conditions, suggests that it may be an important mediator in ventilator-induced lung injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hemorrhagic shock followed by resuscitation (HSR) commonly triggers an inflammatory response that leads to acute respiratory distress syndrome. HYPOTHESIS HSR exacerbates mechanical stress-induced lung injury by rendering the lung more susceptible to ventilator-induced lung injury. METHODS Rats were subjected to HSR, and were randomized into an HSR + high tidal volume and zero positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) or a HSR + low tidal volume with 5 cm H(2)O PEEP. A sham-operated rat + high tidal volume and zero PEEP served as a control. RESULTS HSR increased susceptibility to ventilator-induced lung injury as evidenced by an increase in lung elastance and the wet/dry ratio and a reduction in Pa(O(2)) as compared with the other groups. The lung injury observed in the HSR + high tidal volume group was associated with a higher level of interleukin 6 in the lung and blood, increased epithelial cell apoptosis in the kidney and small intestine villi, and a tendency toward high levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and creatinine in plasma. CONCLUSIONS HSR priming renders the lung and kidney more susceptible to mechanical ventilation-induced organ injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation trigger a global ischemia/reperfusion phenomenon, in which various inflammatory processes critically contribute to the ensuing tissue damage. Adenosine is an endogenous nucleoside that is released during shock. Activation of adenosine A(2A) receptors can broadly inactivate inflammatory cascades. The current study was designed to evaluate the effect of A(2A) receptor activation on organ injury and inflammation in the setting of global ischemia/reperfusion elicited by trauma/hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation. DESIGN Prospective animal study with concurrent control. SETTING Small animal laboratory. SUBJECTS Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. INTERVENTIONS The rats were subjected to a laparotomy (trauma) and 90 mins of hemorrhagic shock or trauma/sham shock. The selective A(2A) receptor agonist CGS-21680 (2-p-(2-carboxyethyl) phenethylamino-5'-N-ethyl-carboxamidoadenosine; 0.5 mg/kg) or its vehicle was injected 30 mins before shock or immediately after resuscitation. At 3 hrs following resuscitation, animals were killed and tissue was harvested for analysis. Lung permeability and pulmonary myeloperoxidase levels were used to quantitate lung injury. Intestinal injury was determined by histologic analysis of terminal ileum. Red blood cell deformability was measured by a laser-assisted ektacytometer. In this assay, a decrease in the elongation index is a marker of decreased red blood cell deformability. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Pretreatment with CGS-21680 protected the lung but not the gut against shock-induced injury and prevented the shock-induced decrease in red blood cell deformability. Posttreatment with CGS-21680 ameliorated shock-induced lung injury but failed to prevent gut injury and preserve red blood cell deformability. CONCLUSION A(2A) receptor agonists may represent a novel therapeutic approach in preventing organ injury following trauma/hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
Tissue hypoxia is a common sequel of trauma-hemorrhage but can occur even without blood loss under hypoxic conditions. Although hypoxia is known to upregulate Kupffer cells (KC) to release cytokines, the precise mechanism of release remains unknown. We hypothesized that Src family kinases play a role in mediating KC mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling and their cytokine production after hypoxia. Male C3H/HeN mice received either Src inhibitor PP1 (1.5 mg/kg body wt) or vehicle 1 h before hypoxia. KCs were isolated 1 h after hypoxia, lysed, and immunoblotted with antibodies to Src, p38, ERK1/2, or JNK proteins. In addition, KCs were cultured to measure interleukin-6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) production. Hypoxia produced a significant increase in KC Src and MAPK (p38, ERK, JNK) activity compared with normoxic controls. This was associated with an increase in IL-6 and MCP-1 production. Treatment with PP1 abolished the increase in KC Src activation as well as p38 activity. However, PP1 did not prevent the increase in KC ERK1/2 or JNK phosphorylation. Furthermore, administration of PP1 prevented the hypoxia-induced increase in IL-6 but not MCP-1 release by KC. Additional in vitro results suggest that p38 but not ERK1/2 or JNK are critical for KC IL-6 production. In contrast, the production of MCP-1 by KC was found to be independent of MAPK. Thus hypoxia increases KC IL-6 production by p38 MAPK activation via Src-dependent pathway. Src kinases may therefore be a novel therapeutic target for preventing immune dysfunction following low-flow conditions in trauma patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential immunologic and anti-inflammatory effects of hypertonic saline plus dextran (HSD) in hemorrhagic trauma patients. BACKGROUND Unbalanced inflammation triggered by shock has been linked to multiorgan dysfunction (MOD) and death. In animal and cellular models, HSD alters the inflammatory response to shock, attenuating MOD and improving outcome. It remains untested whether HSD has similar effects in humans. METHODS A single 250-mL dose of either HSD (7.5% NaCl, 6% dextran-70) or placebo (0.9% NaCl) was administered to adult blunt trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock. The primary outcome was to measure changes in immune/inflammatory markers, including neutrophil activation, monocyte subset redistribution, cytokine production, and neuroendocrine changes. Patient demographics, fluid requirements, organ dysfunction, infection, and death were recorded. RESULTS A total of 27 patients were enrolled (13 HSD) with no significant differences in clinical measurements. Hyperosmolarity was modest and transient, whereas the immunologic/anti-inflammatory effects persisted for 24 hours. HSD blunted neutrophil activation by abolishing shock-induced CD11b up-regulation and causing CD62L shedding. HSD altered the shock-induced monocyte redistribution pattern by reducing the drop in "classic" CD14 and the expansion of the "pro-inflammatory" CD14CD16 subsets. In parallel, HSD significantly reduced pro-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production while increasing anti-inflammatory IL-1ra and IL-10. HSD prevented shock-induced norepinephrine surge with no effect on adrenal steroids. CONCLUSIONS This first human trial evaluating the immunologic/anti-inflammatory effects of hypertonic resuscitation in trauma patients demonstrates that HSD promotes a more balanced inflammatory response to hemorrhagic shock, raising the possibility that similar to experimental models, HSD might also attenuate post-trauma MOD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recognition of the limitations of standard crystalloid resuscitation has led to exploration for alternative resuscitation strategies that might better prevent the development of trauma-hemorrhage-induced organ dysfunction and systemic inflammation. Thus, the goal of this study was to compare the effects of two resuscitation strategies alone and in combination with that of standard resuscitation with Ringer's lactate. These two strategies were intravenous injection of amiloride, an inhibitor of Na/H exchange and epithelial Na channels, and resuscitation with hypertonic saline. DESIGN Prospective animal study with concurrent control. SETTING Small animal laboratory. SUBJECTS Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. INTERVENTIONS Rats injected with amiloride or its vehicle were subjected to trauma-hemorrhagic shock (T/HS) or trauma sham-shock (T/SS) and resuscitated with Ringer's lactate or hypertonic saline. The T/HS model consisted of a laparotomy plus 90 mins of shock (mean arterial pressure 30 mm Hg). Three hours after the end of the shock or sham-shock period, lung permeability, lung histology, pulmonary neutrophil sequestration, neutrophil CD11b expression, gut injury, and red blood cell rigidification were assessed. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Both amiloride and hypertonic saline reduced T/HS-induced pulmonary permeability and neutrophil sequestration, and coadministration of these two agents was more efficacious than administration of the individual agents. In contrast, whereas gut injury was attenuated by both amiloride and hypertonic saline, combined administration of amiloride and hypertonic saline failed to further protect the gut. Additionally, hypertonic saline reduced both neutrophil CD11b expression and red blood cell rigidification, whereas amiloride was without effect. CONCLUSIONS Combined administration of amiloride and small-volume resuscitation with hypertonic saline may be a strategy worthy of further evaluation in the therapy of shock-induced distant organ injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) is used for renal replacement and fluid management in critically ill children. A previous small study suggested that survival was associated with less percent fluid overload (%FO) in the intensive care unit (ICU) before hemofiltration. We reviewed our experience with a large series of pediatric CVVH patients to evaluate factors associated with outcome. DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Tertiary children's hospital. PATIENTS CVVH pediatric ICU patients from November 1997 to January 2003. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS %FO was defined as total fluid input minus output (up to 7 days before CVVH for both hospital stay and ICU stay) divided by body weight. One hundred thirteen patients received CVVH; 69 survived (61%). Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) was present in 103 patients; 59 survived (57%). Median patient age was 9.6 yrs (25th, 75th percentile: 2.5, 14.3). Median %FO was significantly lower in survivors vs. nonsurvivors for all patients (7.8% [2.0, 16.7] vs. 15.1% [4.9, 25.9]; p =.02] and in patients with > or =3-organ MODS (9.2% [5.1,16.7] vs. 15.5% [8.3, 28.6]; p =.01). The Pediatric Risk of Mortality Score III at CVVH initiation also was associated with survival in these groups, but by multivariate analysis, %FO was independently associated with survival in patients with > or =3-organ MODS (p =.01). CONCLUSIONS Survival in critically ill children receiving CVVH in this large series was higher than in previous reports. CVVH survival may be associated with less %FO in patients with > or =3-organ MODS. Prospective studies are necessary to determine whether earlier use of CVVH to control fluid overload in critically ill children can improve survival.

Abstract
Traumatic injury is common, and accounts for a large health care burden. Trauma and in particular haemorrhagic shock are closely related to the onset of multiple organ failure, the systemic inflammatory response and sepsis. Despite overall improvements in the care of septic critically ill patients there has been little impact on morbidity and mortality. In recent years our understanding of sepsis both as an illness and at a molecular level has led to the development of a number of therapeutic interventions. This article outlines the current evidence for such interventions and points to possible future research that is required in the diagnosis and management of trauma-related sepsis.
