Does Scheduled Low-Dose Short-Term NSAID (Ketorolac) Modulate Cytokine Levels After Orthopaedic Polytrauma? A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial. J Orthop Trauma 2024; 38:358-365. [PMID: 38506517 DOI: 10.1097/bot.0000000000002807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether scheduled low-dose, short-term ketorolac modulates cytokine concentrations in orthopaedic polytrauma patients. METHODS DESIGN Secondary analysis of a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial. SETTING Single Level I trauma center from August 2018 to October 2022. PATIENT SELECTION CRITERIA Orthopaedic polytrauma patients between 18 and 75 years with a New Injury Severity Score greater than 9 were enrolled. Participants were randomized to receive 15 mg of intravenous ketorolac every 6 hours for up to 5 inpatient days or 2 mL of intravenous saline similarly. OUTCOME MEASURES AND COMPARISONS Daily concentrations of prostaglandin E2 and interleukin (IL)-1a, IL-1b, IL-6, and IL-10. Clinical outcomes included hospital and intensive care unit length of stay, pulmonary complications, and acute kidney injury. RESULTS Seventy orthopaedic polytrauma patients were enrolled, with 35 participants randomized to the ketorolac group and 35 to the placebo group. The overall IL-10 trend over time was significantly different in the ketorolac group ( P = 0.043). IL-6 was 65.8% higher at enrollment compared to day 3 ( P < 0.001) when aggregated over both groups. There was no significant treatment effect for prostaglandin E2, IL-1a, or IL-1b ( P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in clinical outcomes between groups ( P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Scheduled low-dose, short-term, intravenous ketorolac was associated with significantly different mean trends in IL-10 concentration in orthopaedic polytrauma patients with no significant differences in prostaglandin E2, IL-1a, IL-1b, or IL-6 levels between groups. The treatment did not have an impact on clinical outcomes of hospital or intensive care unit length of stay, pulmonary complications, or acute kidney injury. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level II.

Abstract
Background and objectives There is a need to develop objective risk stratification tools to define efficient care pathways for trauma patients. Biomarker-based point of care testing may strengthen existing clinical tools currently available for this purpose. The dysregulation of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis of organ failure is well recognised. This study was carried out to evaluate whether blood concentrations of IL-6, IL-10, and IL-6:IL-10 ratios in the early stages of the illness are significantly different in patients with worsening organ function. Materials and methods In this prospective observational cohort study, plasma concentrations of IL-6 and IL-10 on days 1, 3 and 5 were measured in 91 major trauma patients using a multiplexed cytometric bead array approach. A composite measure of adverse outcome - defined as SOFA ≥ 2 or mortality at 7 days, was the primary outcome. IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations in early samples (days 1, 3 & 5) in patients who developed SOFA ≥ 2 on day 7 were compared against those who did not. Similar composite outcome groups at day 5 and in groups with worsening or improving SOFA scores (ΔSOFA) at days 7 and 5 were undertaken as secondary analyses. Results Stratification on day 7, 44 (48%) patients showed adverse outcomes. These adverse outcomes associated with significantly greater IL-6 concentrations on days 1 and 5 (Day 1: 47.65 [23.24-78.68] Vs 73.69 [39.93 - 118.07] pg/mL, P = 0.040 and Day 5: 12.85 [5.80-19.51] Vs 28.90 [8.78-74.08] pg/mL; P = 0.0019). Similarly, IL-10 levels were significantly greater in the adverse outcome group on days 3 and 5 (Day 3: 2.54 [1.76-3.19] Vs 3.16 [2.68-4.21] pg/mL; P = 0.044 and Day 5: 2.03 [1.65-2.55] Vs 2.90 [2.00-5.06] pg/mL; P <0.001). IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations were also significantly elevated in the adverse outcome groups at day 3 and day 5 when stratified on day 5 outcomes. Both IL-6 and IL-6:IL-10 were found to be significantly elevated on days 1 and 3 when stratified based on ΔSOFA at day 5. This significance was lost when stratified on day 7 scores. Conclusions Early IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations are significantly greater in patients who develop worsening organ functions downstream. These differences may provide an alternate biomarker-based approach to strengthen risk stratification in trauma patients.

Abstract
Significance: The immunoinflammatory responses that follow trauma contribute to clinical trajectory and patient outcomes. While remarkable advances have been made in trauma services and injury management, clarity on how the immune system in humans responds to trauma is lagging. Recent Advances: Multiplexing platforms have transformed our ability to analyze comprehensive immune mediator responses in human trauma. In parallel, with the establishment of large data sets, computational methods have been adapted to yield new insights based on mediator patterns. These efforts have added an important data layer to the emerging multiomic characterization of the human response to injury. Critical Issues: Outcome after trauma is greatly affected by the host immunoinflammatory response. Excessive or sustained responses can contribute to organ damage. Hence, understanding the pathophysiology behind traumatic injury is of vital importance. Future Directions: This review summarizes our work in the study of circulating immune mediators in trauma patients. Our foundational studies into dynamic patterns of inflammatory mediators represent an important contribution to the concepts and computational challenges that these large data sets present. We hope to see further integration and understanding of multiomics strategies in the field of trauma that can aid in patient endotyping and in potentially identifiying certain therapeutic targets in the future.

Stem Cells Int 2021; 2021:2612480. [PMID: 34876907 PMCID: PMC8645412 DOI: 10.1155/2021/2612480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Due to their immunomodulatory and regenerative capacity, human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) are promising in the treatment of patients suffering from polytrauma. However, few studies look at the effects of sera from polytraumatized patients on hBMSCs. The aim of this study was to explore changes in hBMSC properties in response to serum from polytrauma patients taken at different time points after the trauma incident. For this, sera from 84 patients with polytrauma (collected between 2010 and 2020 in our department) were used. In order to test the differential influence on hBMSC, sera from the 1st (D1), 5th (D5), and 10th day (D10) after polytrauma were pooled, respectively. As a control, sera from three healthy donors (HS), matched with respect to age and gender to the polytrauma group, were collected. Furthermore, hBMSCs from four healthy donors were used in the experiments. The pooled sera of HS, D1, D5, and D10 were analyzed by multicytokine array for pro-/anti-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, the influence of the different sera on hBMSCs with respect to cell proliferation, colony forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) assay, cell viability, cytotoxicity, cell migration, and osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation was analyzed. The results showed that D5 serum significantly reduced hBMSC cell proliferation capacity compared with HS and increased the proportion of dead cells compared with D1. However, the frequency of CFU-F was not reduced in polytrauma groups compared with HS, as well as the other parameters. The serological effect of polytrauma on hBMSCs was related to the time after trauma. It is disadvantageous to use BMSCs in polytraumatized patients at least until the fifth day after polytrauma as obvious cytological changes could be found at that time point. However, it is promising to use hBMSCs to treat polytrauma after five days, combined with the concept of "Damage Control Orthopedics" (DCO).

A putative "chemokine switch" that regulates systemic acute inflammation in humans. Sci Rep 2021; 11:9703.

Abstract
Systemic inflammation is complex and likely drives clinical outcomes in critical illness such as that which ensues following severe injury. We obtained time course data on multiple inflammatory mediators in the blood of blunt trauma patients. Using dynamic network analyses, we inferred a novel control architecture for systemic inflammation: a three-way switch comprising the chemokines MCP-1/CCL2, MIG/CXCL9, and IP-10/CXCL10. To test this hypothesis, we created a logical model comprising this putative architecture. This model predicted key qualitative features of systemic inflammation in patient sub-groups, as well as the different patterns of hospital discharge of moderately vs. severely injured patients. Thus, a rational transition from data to data-driven models to mechanistic models suggests a novel, chemokine-based mechanism for control of acute inflammation in humans and points to the potential utility of this workflow in defining novel features in other complex diseases.

Abstract
AIMS The primary aim of this study was to compare the postoperative systemic inflammatory response in conventional jig-based total knee arthroplasty (conventional TKA) versus robotic-arm assisted total knee arthroplasty (robotic TKA). Secondary aims were to compare the macroscopic soft tissue injury, femoral and tibial bone trauma, localized thermal response, and the accuracy of component positioning between the two treatment groups. METHODS This prospective randomized controlled trial included 30 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee undergoing conventional TKA versus robotic TKA. Predefined serum markers of inflammation and localized knee temperature were collected preoperatively and postoperatively at six hours, day 1, day 2, day 7, and day 28 following TKA. Blinded observers used the Macroscopic Soft Tissue Injury (MASTI) classification system to grade intraoperative periarticular soft tissue injury and bone trauma. Plain radiographs were used to assess the accuracy of achieving the planned postioning of the components in both groups. RESULTS Patients undergoing conventional TKA and robotic TKA had comparable changes in the postoperative systemic inflammatory and localized thermal response at six hours, day 1, day 2, and day 28 after surgery. Robotic TKA had significantly reduced levels of interleukin-6 (p < 0.001), tumour necrosis factor-α (p = 0.021), ESR (p = 0.001), CRP (p = 0.004), lactate dehydrogenase (p = 0.007), and creatine kinase (p = 0.004) at day 7 after surgery compared with conventional TKA. Robotic TKA was associated with significantly improved preservation of the periarticular soft tissue envelope (p < 0.001), and reduced femoral (p = 0.012) and tibial (p = 0.023) bone trauma compared with conventional TKA. Robotic TKA significantly improved the accuracy of achieving the planned limb alignment (p < 0.001), femoral component positioning (p < 0.001), and tibial component positioning (p < 0.001) compared with conventional TKA. CONCLUSION Robotic TKA was associated with a transient reduction in the early (day 7) postoperative inflammatory response but there was no difference in the immediate (< 48 hours) or late (day 28) postoperative systemic inflammatory response compared with conventional TKA. Robotic TKA was associated with decreased iatrogenic periarticular soft tissue injury, reduced femoral and tibial bone trauma, and improved accuracy of component positioning compared with conventional TKA.

Abstract
Systemic inflammation ensues following traumatic injury, driving immune dysregulation and multiple organ dysfunction (MOD). While a balanced immune/inflammatory response is ideal for promoting tissue regeneration, most trauma patients exhibit variable and either overly exuberant or overly damped responses that likely drive adverse clinical outcomes. We hypothesized that these inflammatory phenotypes occur in the context of severe injury, and therefore sought to define clinically distinct endotypes of trauma patients based on their systemic inflammatory responses. Using Patient-Specific Principal Component Analysis followed by unsupervised hierarchical clustering of circulating inflammatory mediators obtained in the first 24 h after injury, we segregated a cohort of 227 blunt trauma survivors into three core endotypes exhibiting significant differences in requirement for mechanical ventilation, duration of ventilation, and MOD over 7 days. Nine non-survivors co-segregated with survivors. Dynamic network inference, Fisher Score analysis, and correlations of IL-17A with GM-CSF, IL-10, and IL-22 in the three survivor sub-groups suggested a role for type 3 immunity, in part regulated by Th17 and γδ 17 cells, and related tissue-protective cytokines as a key feature of systemic inflammation following injury. These endotypes may represent archetypal adaptive, over-exuberant, and overly damped inflammatory responses.

Computational evidence for an early, amplified systemic inflammation program in polytrauma patients with severe extremity injuries. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0217577. [PMID: 31163056 PMCID: PMC6548366 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0217577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2019] [Accepted: 05/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Extremity and soft tissue injuries contribute significantly to inflammation and adverse in-hospital outcomes for trauma survivors; accordingly, we examined the complex association between clinical outcomes inflammatory responses in this setting using in silico tools. Two stringently propensity-matched, moderately/severely injured (Injury Severity Score > 16) patient sub-cohorts of ~30 patients each were derived retrospectively from a cohort of 472 blunt trauma survivors and segregated based on their degree of extremity injury severity (above or below 3 on the Abbreviated Injury Scale). Serial blood samples were analyzed for 31 plasma inflammatory mediators. In addition to standard statistical analyses, Dynamic Network Analysis (DyNA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were used to model systemic inflammation following trauma. Patients in the severe extremity injury sub-cohort experienced longer intensive care unit length of stay (LOS), total LOS, and days on a mechanical ventilator, with higher Marshall Multiple Organ Dysfunction (MOD) Scores over the first 7 days post-injury as compared to the mild/moderate extremity injury sub-cohort. The higher severity cohort had statistically significant elevated lactate, base deficit, and creatine phosphokinase on first blood draw, along with significant changes in multiple circulating inflammatory mediators. DyNA pointed to a sustained role for type 17 immunity in both sub-cohorts, along with IFN-γ in the severe extremity injury group. DyNA network complexity increased over 7 days post-injury in the severe injury group, while generally decreasing over this same time period in the mild/moderate injury group. PCA suggested a more robust activation of multiple pathways in the severe extremity injury group as compared to the mild/moderate injury group. These studies thus point to the possibility of self-sustaining inflammation following severe extremity injury vs. resolving inflammation following less severe extremity injury.

Abstract
Once damaged, articular cartilage has a limited potential to repair. Clinically, a repair tissue is formed, yet, it is often mechanically inferior fibrocartilage. The use of monolayer expanded versus naïve cells may explain one of the biggest discrepancies in mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (MSC) based cartilage regeneration. Namely, studies utilizing monolayer expanded MSCs, as indicated by numerous in vitro studies, report as a main limitation the induction of type X collagen and hypertrophy, a phenotype associated with endochondral bone formation. However, marrow stimulation and transfer studies report a mechanically inferior collagen I/II fibrocartilage as the main outcome. Therefore, this review will highlight the collagen species produced during the different therapeutic approaches. New developments in scaffold design and delivery of therapeutic molecules will be described. Potential future directions towards clinical translation will be discussed. New delivery mechanisms are being developed and they offer new hope in targeted therapeutic delivery.

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
The pathophysiology of acute illness and injury recognizes three main effectors: infection, trauma, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Each of them can act by itself or in combination with the other two in developing a systemic inflammatory reaction syndrome (SIRS) that is a generalized reaction to the morbid event. The time course of SIRS is variable and influenced by the number and severity of subsequent insults (e.g., reparative surgery, acquired hospital infections). It occurs simultaneously with a complex of counter-regulatory mechanisms (compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome, CARS) that limit the aggressive effects of SIRS. In adjunct, a progressive dysfunction of the acquired (lymphocytes) immune system develops with increased risk for immunoparalysis and associated infectious complications. Both humoral and cellular effectors participate to the development of SIRS and CARS. The most important humoral mediators are pro-inflammatory (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12) and anti-inflammatory (IL-4, IL-10) cytokines and chemokines, complement, leukotrienes, and PAF. Effector cells include neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes, and endothelial cells. The endothelium is a key factor for production of remote organ damage as it exerts potent chemo-attracting effects on inflammatory cells, allows for leukocyte trafficking into tissues and organs, and promotes further inflammation by cytokines release. Moreover, the loss of vasoregulatory properties and the increased permeability contribute to the development of hypotension and tissue edema. Finally, the disseminated activation of the coagulation cascade causes the widespread deposition of microthrombi with resulting maldistribution of capillary blood flow and ultimately hypoxic cellular damage. This mechanism together with increased vascular permeability and vasodilation is responsible for the development of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

Abstract
Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between trauma severity and platelet indices (PI) and white blood cell (WBC) count to identify traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children with minor head trauma (MHT). Materials and methods: This prospective study included children with acute isolated MHT who underwent head computed tomography (CT) based on Pediatric Emergency Care Research Network (PECARN) criteria. Mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), MPV to platelet ratio (MPV/PL), MPV to white blood cell ratio (MPV/WBC), and MPV to Neutrophil ratio (MPV/Neu) were evaluated. Results: 86 children with MHT and 245 controls were included the study. WBC, Neu count, MPV, MPV/WBC, MPV/Neu and MPV/PI ratios were statistically different among patients with abnormal CT, patients with normal CT and healthy controls (p < 0.05). For predicting abbreviated injury score (AIS) > 1, the AUC values of WBC, neutrophil, MPV/WBC and MPV/Neu were 0.746, 0.739, 0.726 and 0.724, respectively. Conclusion: In children with MHT who underwent CT, WBC, Neu counts, MPV/WBC and MPV/Neu ratios may be helpful for predicting the severity of trauma in pediatric emergency department.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the expression of microRNA (miRNA) 26a in blood mononuclear cells and serum in neonatal sepsis, as well as its role in the disease pathogenesis. In total 28 cases of neonatal sepsis were included in the study. The mRNA expression levels of miRNA-26a and interleukin (IL)-6 in the blood mononuclear cells and serum samples were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The protein expression of IL-6 was detected by western blot analysis and ELISA. The in vitro septic environment was simulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in THP-1 cells, and the expression of miRNA-26a and IL-6 were determined. Interaction between miRNA-26a and IL-6 was confirmed by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Compared with the control group, the mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-6 in the blood mononuclear cells and serum samples from the neonates with sepsis were significantly elevated, while the expression of miRNA-26a was significantly decreased. In addition, similar results were observed in the LPS-induced septic models in THP-1 cells. Furthermore, the results of the dual-luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that IL-6 was the direct target of miRNA-26a. The expression of IL-6 was significantly upregulated in the blood mononuclear cells and serum in neonatal sepsis, which may be associated with the downregulation of miRNA-26a. miRNA-26a may regulate the disease pathogenesis and immune responses.

Abstract
In the present study, the expression of microRNA (miR)-365 and interleukin (IL)-6 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and serum from patients with sepsis following multiple trauma has been investigated. A total of 26 patients with sepsis following multiple trauma were included as the experimental group, whereas 21 contemporaneous patients without sepsis following multiple trauma were included as the negative control group. The expression of IL-6 mRNA and miR-365 was determined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and western blot analysis was used to measure IL-6 protein expression. ELISA was performed to determine the secretion of IL-6 protein. Following stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 h, THP-1 cells were used to examine the expression of miR-365 and the levels of IL-6 protein and mRNA in cells simulating sepsis. A dual luciferase reporter assay revealed that IL-6 mRNA was a direct target of miR-365. Patients with sepsis following multiple trauma exhibited significantly higher IL-6 mRNA and protein levels than patients without sepsis (P<0.05). In addition, miR-365 expression in patients with sepsis following trauma was significantly lower than in patients without sepsis (P<0.05). Similar effects were observed in THP-1 cells treated with LPS. The present study demonstrated that increased expression of IL-6 in patients with sepsis following multiple trauma is associated with decreased expression of miR-365. miR-365 may regulate the occurrence and immune response of sepsis following multiple trauma via IL-6. These results may elucidate agents for clinical diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE It has been suggested that patients with traumatic insults are resuscitated into a state of an early systemic inflammatory response. We aimed to evaluate the influence of hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HSR) upon the inflammatory response capacity assessed by overall TNF-α secretion capacity of the host compared to its release from circulating leukocytes in peripheral circulation. METHODS Rats (8/group) subjected to HS (MAP of 30-35 mmHg for 90 min followed by resuscitation over 50 min) were challenged with Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), 1 μg/kg intravenously at the end of resuscitation (HSR-LPS group) or 24 h later (HSR-LPS24 group). Control animals were injected with LPS without bleeding (LPS group). Plasma TNF-α was measured at 90 min after the LPS challenge. In addition, whole blood (WB) was obtained either from healthy controls (CON) immediately after resuscitation (HSR), or at 24 h post-shock (HSR 24). WB was incubated with LPS (100 ng/mL) for 2 h at 37 °C. TNF-α concentration and LPS binding capacity (LBC) was determined. RESULTS Compared to LPS group, HSR followed by LPS challenge resulted in suppression of plasma TNF-α in HSR-LPS and HSR-LPS24 groups (1835 ± 478, 273 ± 77, 498 ± 200 pg/mL, respectively). Compared to CON the LPS-induced TNF-α release capacity of circulating leukocytes ex vivo was strongly declined both at the end of resuscitation (HSR) and 24 h later (HSR24) (1012 ± 259, 313 ± 154, 177 ± 63 ng TNF/mL, respectively). The LBC in WB was similar between CON and HSR and only moderately enhanced in HSR24 (57 ± 6, 56 ± 6, 71 ± 5 %, respectively). CONCLUSION Our data suggest that the overall inflammatory response capacity is decreased immediately after HSR, persisting up to 24 h, and is independent of LBC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pelvic fractures contribute to morbidity and mortality following injury. We sought to study the impact of pelvic fractures on the clinical course and outcomes of trauma patients with a pelvic fracture in comparison to patients with similar injury severity without pelvic fracture to identify potential parameters to track patients' clinical course post-injury. METHODS A cohort of 206 consecutive blunt trauma survivors, studied over a 5-year period in a level I trauma center of which 75 patients (36.4%) had a pelvic fracture, was included in the study. To perform a retrospective cohort study with matched controls, 60 patients of the pelvic fracture group [(PF), 41 males and 19 females; age: 40 ± 17; injury severity score (ISS): 26.6 ± 9.3] were compared to 60 patients without pelvic fracture (non-PF) trauma as controls (41 males and 19 females; age: 40 ± 13; ISS: 26.9 ± 7.7), both with matching age (±5 years), sex, and ISS (±5 points). RESULTS Statistically significant differences were observed in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), total LOS, and Marshall MOD score between PF and non-PF groups, respectively. Acid-base markers such as pH, lactate, LDH, and base deficit were all significantly altered in PF compared to non-PF cohort upon admission. Moreover, our analysis showed significant differences in inflammatory biomarkers (Prolactin, CRP, and IL-6), and clinical parameters (CPK, Hgb, Platelets count, and WBC) over the 7-day clinical course in patients with PF when compared to non-PF cohort. CONCLUSION In this matched cohort, patients with pelvic fractures exhibited biochemical and physiological alterations upon admission. Furthermore, our results suggest that pelvic fracture affects the clinical outcomes in severely injured patients, independently of injury severity, mechanism of injury, age or gender.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate posttraumatic cytokine alterations and their value for predicting complications and mortality in polytraumatized patients.
METHODS: Studies on the use of specific cytokines to predict the development of complications and mortality were identified in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library. Of included studies, relevant data were extracted and study quality was scored.
RESULTS: Forty-two studies published between 1988 and 2015 were identified, including 28 cohort studies and 14 “nested” case-control studies. Most studies investigated the cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α). IL-6 seems related to muliorgan dysfunction syndrome, multiorgan failure (MOF) and mortality; IL-8 appears altered in acute respiratory distress syndrome, MOF and mortality; IL-10 alterations seem to precede sepsis and MOF; and TNF-α seems related to MOF.
CONCLUSION: Cytokine secretion patterns appear to be different for patients developing complications when compared to patients with uneventful posttraumatic course. More research is needed to strengthen the evidence for clinical relevance of these cytokines.

Individual-specific principal component analysis of circulating inflammatory mediators predicts early organ dysfunction in trauma patients. J Crit Care 2016; 36:146-153. [PMID: 27546764 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2016.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2016] [Revised: 06/04/2016] [Accepted: 07/05/2016] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE We hypothesized that early inflammation can drive, or impact, later multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), that patient-specific principal component analysis (PCA) of circulating inflammatory mediators could reveal conserved dynamic responses which would not be apparent from the unprocessed data, and that this computational approach could segregate trauma patients with regard to subsequent MODS. METHODS From a cohort of 472 blunt trauma survivors, 2 separate subcohorts of moderately/severely injured patients were studied. Multiple inflammatory mediators were assessed in serial blood samples in the first 24 hours postinjury. PCA of these time course data was used to derive patient-specific "inflammation barcodes," followed by hierarchical clustering to define patient subgroups. To define the generalizability of this approach, 2 different but overlapping Luminex kits were used. RESULTS PCA/hierarchical clustering of 24-hour Luminex data segregated the patients into 2 groups that differed significantly in their Marshall multiple organ dysfunction score on subsequent days, independently of the specific set of inflammatory mediators analyzed. Multiple inflammatory mediators and their dynamic networks were significantly different in the 2 groups in both patient cohorts, demonstrating that the groups were defined based on "core" early responses exhibit truly different dynamic inflammatory trajectories. CONCLUSION Identification of patient-specific "core responses" can lead to early segregation of diverse trauma patients with regard to later MODS. Hence, we suggest that a focus on dynamic inflammatory networks rather than individual biomarkers is warranted.

Abstract
Post-traumatic bone fractures are commonly fixed with implanted devices to restore the anatomical position of bone fragments and aid in the healing process. Bacterial infection in this situation is a challenge for clinicians due to the need for aggressive antibiotic therapy, debridement of infected tissues, and the need to maintain fracture stability. The aim of this study was to monitor immune responses that occur during healing and during Staphylococcus aureus infection, in a clinically relevant murine model of fracture fixation. Skeletally mature C57bl/6 mice received a transverse osteotomy of the femur, which was treated with commercially available titanium fracture fixation plates and screws. In the absence of infection, healing of the fracture was complete within 35days and was characterized by elevated Interleukin (IL)-4 and Interferon-gamma secretion from bone-derived cells and expression of these same genes. In contrast, mice inoculated with S. aureus could not heal the fracture within the observation period and were found to develop typical signs of implant-associated bone infection, including biofilm formation on the implant and osteolysis of surrounding bone. The immune response to infection was characterized by a TH17-led bone response, and a pro-inflammatory cytokine-led Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, Interleukin (IL)-1β) soft tissue response, both of which were ineffectual in clearing implant related bone and soft tissue infections respectively. In this murine model, we characterize the kinetics of pro-inflammatory responses to infection, secondary to bone trauma and surgery. A divergent local immune polarization is evident in the infected versus non-infected animals, with the immune response ultimately unable to clear the S. aureus infection.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Severe trauma affects the immune system, which in its turn is associated with poor outcome. The mediators driving the immune responses in trauma are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of endogenous microparticles (MPs) in mediating the immune response following severe trauma. METHODS A prospective, observational substudy of the ACIT II (Activation of Coagulation and Inflammation in Trauma II) study was performed at our academic level I trauma center. Adult multiple-trauma patients with an injury severity score of 15 or higher were included between May 2012 and June 2013. Ex vivo whole-blood stimulation with lipopolysaccharide was performed on aseptically collected patient plasma containing MPs and in plasma depleted of MPs. Flow cytometry and transmission electronic microscopy were performed on plasma samples to investigate the numbers and cellular origin of MPs. Healthy individuals served as a control group. RESULTS Ten trauma patients and 10 control subjects were included. Trauma patients were significantly injured with a median injury severity score of 19 (range, 17-45). Patients were neither in shock nor bleeding. On admission to the hospital, the host response to bacterial stimulation was blunted in trauma patients compared with control subjects, as reflected by decreased production of interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor α (P < 0.001). In trauma patients, MP-positive plasma was associated with a significantly higher synthesis of IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor α compared with plasma depleted from MPs (P = 0.047 and 0.002, respectively). Compared with control subjects, the number of circulating MPs was significantly decreased in trauma patients (P = 0.009). Most MPs originated from platelets. Multiple cellular protrusions, which result in MP formation, were observed in plasma from trauma patients, but not in control subjects. CONCLUSIONS On admission, trauma patients have a reduced immune response toward endotoxin challenge, which is, at least in part, mediated by MPs, which circulate in low numbers and in early stages. Most MPs originate from platelets, which indicates that these cells may be the most important source of MPs involved in initiating an inflammatory host response after injury.

Abstract
Severe tissue trauma leads to an early activation of several danger recognition systems, including the complement and the coagulation system, often resulting in an overwhelming almost synchronic pro- and anti-inflammatory response of the host. Although the immune response is associated with beneficial effects at the site of injury including the elimination of exogenous and endogenous danger molecules as well as the initiation of regenerative processes, an exaggerated systemic inflammatory response significantly contributes to posttraumatic complications such as multiple organ failure (MOF) and early death. Besides pre-existing physical conditions, age, gender, and underlying comorbidities, surgical and anesthesiological management after injury is decisive for outcome. Improvements in surgical intensive care have increased number of patients who survive the initial phase after trauma. However, instead of progressing to normal recovery, patients often pass into persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome (PICS). The characterization and management of PICS will require new strategies for direct monitoring and therapeutic intervention into the patient’s immune function. In this chapter, we describe various factors involved in the inflammatory changes after trauma and aim to understand how these factors interact to progress to systemic inflammation, MOF, and PICS.

Abstract
Background: This review article is important for allergists/immunologists and otolaryngologists. It discussed chronic rhinosinusitis, epidemiology, pathogenesis, innate adaptive immunology, nuclear factor–kappa B related to inflammation, sepsis, complement, reactive oxygen species, asthma, sinusitis, elderly pathogenesis, oxidative stress, depression, seasonal variation, vitamin D, genetic susceptibility and sepsis, hereditary angioedema related to trauma and stress. Objective: The objective of this review is to link chronic rhinosinusitis, epidemiology, innate and adaptive immunology, NF-kappa B related to inflammation, sepsis, complement, reactive oxygen species, asthma and sinusitis. Methods: A literature search was conducted from several articles, prospective studies, recent reviews and earlier reports. A synergistic relationship develops between activation of the innate immune system and the loss of organ barrier functions. Many complex factors, such as genetics, physical agents, mediators in the development of organ failure both in asthma, sinusitis, stress, depression and trauma, leading to posttraumatic organ failure. Asthma and sepsis, a common condition encountered in hospital environments remains an important cause of death at intensive care units where allergists/immunologists and otolaryngologists are frequently consulted. The patient's immune surveillance could fail to eliminate the pathogen, allowing it to spread and there is a proinflammatory mediator release with inappropriate activation. Conclusion: This review discussed chronic rhinosinusitis, sinusitis related to trauma, the innate and adaptive immunology, NF-kappa B related to inflammation, sepsis, complement, inflammation, reactive oxygen species, asthma pathogenesis, and asthma in the elderly, oxidative stress, depression, seasonal variation and vitamin D, cytokines, genetic susceptibility related to sepsis, hereditary angioedema related to trauma and stress.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The susceptibility to adverse outcome from critical injury (occurrence of sepsis, septic shock, organ dysfunction/failure, and mortality) varies dramatically due to different degrees of inflammatory response. We assessed the relationship of the genotype distribution of various cytokine gene polymorphisms (CGP) with regard to the development of sepsis, organ dysfunction or mortality in severely injured patients. METHOD Observational, hospital-based cohort study of 114 severely injured North Indian patients from New Delhi admitted to the Emergency Department (ED) of Trauma Centre, AIIMS. Patients were monitored from day first to discharge or death, measuring SOFA score, sepsis and septic shock occurrences up to one month. We have analyzed 13 cytokine genes, including the SNPs of structural and regulatory regions at 22 positions. RESULTS Sequence-specific primer based PCR indicated that eight polymorphic loci IL-1α /-889, IL-1β/-511, IL-1R (pstI 1970), TGF-β/ code 10, TNF-α/-308, TNF-α/-238, IL-6/+565 and IL-10/-1082, out of 22 SNPs are significantly associated with sepsis morbidity and outcome. Theses SNPs might be used as risk determinants of the outcome. Patients with IL-10 (-1082A/A) genotypes were found significantly higher in post traumatic sepsis patients and had a significantly higher risk to developed sepsis complication (p < 0.05, OR = 0.86, C.I = 0.08-8.8).In case of TNF-α (-308) position, GA and GG genotype patients have a significantly lower risk of poor outcome (p < 0.05, OR = 0.25, C.I = 0.01-1.3) and (p < 0.05, OR = 0.22, C.I = 0.01-0.5) in comparison to AA genotype. In this study, two polymorphisms (IL-1β (-511) and IL-1R) were significantly associated with the development of MOF and mortality, where as IL-1α (-889) polymorphism associated with susceptibility for sepsis. The distribution of haplotypes of TGF-β and IL-6 were also associated with sepsis susceptibility and outcome. CONCLUSION In conclusion, we have found that the alternations in the genotype and allele frequency of IL-1β (-511C/T), TNF-α (-308 G/A), TNF-α (-238 G/A) and IL-10 (-1082 G/A) genes are associated with an higher risk of sepsis development in trauma patients and outcomes.

Abstract
Traumatic injury remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and patients who survived the initial insult are susceptible to an overwhelming inflammatory dysfunction that will lead to acute coagulopathy of trauma (ACOT) and subsequently multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome-related scoring systems, although they measure organ dysfunction, present clinical markers, and single-cytokine estimates are unable to predict accurately the events of MODS in the clinical setting to aid risk stratification. In this study, a pig model comprising the lethal triad of trauma was used to determine prognostic patterns of early circulating trauma markers so as to predict the development of MODS and ACOT. We measured early expression of several biomarkers (neutrophil gelatinase-associated protein, high-mobility group box 1, C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, heart-type fatty acid binding protein, and D-dimers) and clinical parameters for various organ injuries and abnormalities (creatinine, creatine kinase myocardial band, aspartate aminotransferase, and maximum clot firmness) at later time points. The strength of association between the early expression of several biomarkers to the development of MODS and ACOT in polytraumatized pigs was tested using the Spearman correlation coefficient. These biomarkers were found useful to predict the onset of renal, cardiac, hepatic, and hemostatic abnormalities. The findings show that these biomarkers could help to identify, guide, and streamline damage control surgery and earlier intervention to reverse the detrimental outcomes of MODS and ACOT.

Induced Hypothermia Does Not Harm Hemodynamics after Polytrauma: A Porcine Model. Mediators Inflamm 2015; 2015:829195.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The deterioration of hemodynamics instantly endangers the patients' life after polytrauma. As accidental hypothermia frequently occurs in polytrauma, therapeutic hypothermia still displays an ambivalent role as the impact on the cardiopulmonary function is not yet fully understood. METHODS We have previously established a porcine polytrauma model including blunt chest trauma, penetrating abdominal trauma, and hemorrhagic shock. Therapeutic hypothermia (34°C) was induced for 3 hours. We documented cardiovascular parameters and basic respiratory parameters. Pigs were euthanized after 15.5 hours. RESULTS Our polytrauma porcine model displayed sufficient trauma impact. Resuscitation showed adequate restoration of hemodynamics. Induced hypothermia had neither harmful nor major positive effects on the animals' hemodynamics. Though heart rate significantly decreased and mixed venous oxygen saturation significantly increased during therapeutic hypothermia. Mean arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure, pulmonary arterial pressure, and wedge pressure showed no significant differences comparing normothermic trauma and hypothermic trauma pigs during hypothermia. CONCLUSIONS Induced hypothermia after polytrauma is feasible. No major harmful effects on hemodynamics were observed. Therapeutic hypothermia revealed hints for tissue protective impact. But the chosen length for therapeutic hypothermia was too short. Nevertheless, therapeutic hypothermia might be a useful tool for intensive care after polytrauma. Future studies should extend therapeutic hypothermia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The failure rate of tendon-bone healing after repair of rotator cuff tears remains high. A variety of biologic- and cell-based therapies aimed at improving rotator cuff healing have been investigated, and stem cell-based techniques have become increasingly more common. However, most studies have focused on the implantation of exogenous cells, which introduces higher risk and cost. We aimed to improve rotator cuff healing by inducing endogenous stem cell mobilization with systemic administration of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked: (1) Does G-CSF administration increase local cellularity after acute rotator cuff repair? (2) Is there histologic evidence that G-CSF improved organization at the healing enthesis? (3) Does G-CSF administration improve biomechanical properties of the healing supraspinatus tendon-bone complex? (4) Are there micro-MRI-based observations indicating G-CSF-augmented tendon-bone healing? METHODS After creation of full-thickness supraspinatus tendon defects with immediate repair, 52 rats were randomized to control or G-CSF-treated groups. G-CSF was administered for 5 days after repair and rats were euthanized at 12 or 19 postoperative days. Shoulders were subjected to micro-MR imaging, stress relaxation, and load-to-failure as well as blinded histologic and histomorphometric analyses. RESULTS G-CSF-treated animals had significantly higher cellularity composite scores at 12 and 19 days compared with both control (12 days: 7.40 ± 1.14 [confidence interval {CI}, 5.98-8.81] versus 4.50 ± 0.57 [CI, 3.58-5.41], p = 0.038; 19 days: 8.00 ± 1.00 [CI, 6.75-9.24] versus 5.40 ± 0.89 [CI, 4.28-6.51], p = 0.023) and normal animals (12 days: p = 0.029; 19 days: p = 0.019). There was no significant difference between G-CSF-treated animals or control animals in ultimate stress (MPa) and strain, modulus (MPa), or yield stress (MPa) and strain at either 12 days (p = 1.000, p = 0.104, p = 1.000, p = 0.909, and p = 0.483, respectively) or 19 days (p = 0.999, p = 0.964, p = 1.000, p = 0.988, and p = 0.904, respectively). There was no difference in MRI score between G-CSF and control animals at either 12 days (2.7 ± 1.8 [CI, 1.08-4.24] versus 2.3 ± 1.8 [CI, 0.49-4.17], p = 0.623) or 19 days (2.5 ± 1.4 [CI, 1.05-3.94] versus 2.3 ± 1.5 [CI, 0.75-3.91], p = 0.737). G-CSF-treated animals exhibited significantly lower relative bone volume compared with normal animals in the entire humeral head (24.89 ± 3.80 [CI, 20.17-29.60) versus 32.50 ± 2.38 [CI, 29.99-35.01], p = 0.009) and at the supraspinatus insertion (25.67 ± 5.33 [CI, 19.04-32.29] versus 33.36 ± 1.69 [CI, 31.58-35.14], p = 0.027) at 12 days. Further analysis did not reveal any additional significant relationships with respect to regional bone volume or trabecular thickness between groups and time points (p > 0.05). CLINICAL RELEVANCE Postoperative stem cell mobilization agents may be an effective way to enhance rotator cuff repair. Future studies regarding the kinetics of mobilization, the homing capacity of mobilized cells to injured tissues, and the ability of homing cells to participate in regenerative pathways are necessary.

Abstract
Objectives Muscle injury due to crushing (muscle compression injury) is associated with systemic manifestations known as crush syndrome. A systemic inflammatory reaction may also be triggered by isolated muscle injury. The aim of this study was to investigate the plasma levels of interleukins (IL) 1, 6 and 10 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), which are markers for possible systemic inflammatory reactions, after isolated muscle injury resulting from lower-limb compression in rats. Methods Male Wistar rats were subjected to 1 h of compression of their lower limbs by means of a rubber band. The plasma levels of IL 1, 6 and 10 and TNF-α were measured 1, 2 and 4 h after the rats were released from compression. Results The plasma levels of IL 10 decreased in relation to those of the other groups, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). The method used did not detect the presence of IL 1, IL 6 or TNF-α. Conclusion Our results demonstrated that the changes in plasma levels of IL 10 that were found may have been a sign of the presence of circulating interleukins in this model of lower-limb compression in rats.

Abstract
Thromboelastometry was used to evaluate blood coagulation in anesthetized rats after intravenous administration of Tityus serrulatus scorpion venom (Tx). Tracheostomy followed by catheterization of the left jugular vein and right carotid artery were performed for Tx or Ringer's lactate solution injection and blood sample harvesting, respectively. Blood samples were obtained at the beginning of the experiments (baseline) and at two, five, 15, 30, and 60 min after intoxication. The following coagulation parameters were analyzed: CT (Clotting Time), CFT (Clotting Formation Time), Alpha Angle (α), MCF (Maximum Clot Firmness) and TPI (Thrombodynamic Potential Index). Toxin-induced hypercoagulability was demonstrated at the 15 and 60 min. We hypothesize Tx-induced hypercoagulability and enhanced clot formation could be explained by catecholamine release, systemic inflammatory response, and complement system activation, at least in the first hour after envenomation. Further studies are needed to determine the molecular mechanism of Tx-induced coagulopathy.

Abstract
Introduction Inflammation plays a major role in the multifactorial process of trauma associated coagulopathy. The vagus nerve regulates the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. We hypothesized that efferent vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can improve coagulopathy by modulating the inflammatory response to hemorrhage. Methods Wistar rats (n = 24) were divided in 3 groups: Group (G1) Sham hemorrhagic shock (HS); (G2) HS w/o VNS; (G3) HS followed by division of the vagus nerves and VNS of the distal stumps. Hemorrhage (45% of baseline MAPx15 minutes) was followed by normotensive resuscitation with LR. Vagus nerves were stimulated (3.5 mA, 5 Hz) for 30 sec 7 times. Samples were obtained at baseline and at 60 minutes for thromboelastometry (Rotem®) and cytokine assays (IL-1 and IL-10). ANOVA was used for statistical analysis; significance was set at p < 0.05. Results Maximum clot firmness (MCF) significantly decreased in G2 after HS (71.5 ± 1.5 vs. 64 ± 1.6) (p < 0.05). MCF significantly increased in G3 compared to baseline (67.3 ± 2.7 vs. 71.5 ± 1.2) (p < 0.05). G3 also showed significant improvement in Alfa angle, and Clot Formation Time (CFT) compared to baseline. IL-1 increased significantly in group 2 and decrease in group 3, while IL-10 increased in group 3 (p < 0.05). Conclusions Electrical stimulation of efferent vagus nerves, during resuscitation (G3), decreases inflammatory response to hemorrhage and improves coagulation.

Abstract
Background Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has been shown to have immunomodulatory effects after hemorrhage and sepsis. The present study analyzes whether DHEA is also involved in the mediation of inflammatory stimuli induced by bilateral femoral shaft fracture. Methods Male C57/BL6 mice (6 per group) were subjected to closed bilateral femoral shaft fracture with intramedullary nailing followed by administration of either 25 mg/kg/24 h DHEA diluted in saline with 0.1% ethanol or saline with 0.1% ethanol. The sham group was treated by isolated intramedullary nailing without fracture. Animals were sacrificed after 6, 24, or 72 h. Serum TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, MCP-1, and KC concentrations were measured by Bio-Plex ProTm analysis. Acute pulmonary inflammation was assessed by histology, pulmonary myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and pulmonary IL-6 concentration. Results DHEA was associated with a decrease in the systemic inflammatory response induced by bilateral femoral fracture, especially systemic IL-6 (322.2 vs. 62.5 pg/mL; P = 0.01), IL-1β (1,422.6 vs. 754.1 pg/mL; P = 0.05), and MCP-1 (219.4 vs. 44.1 pg/mL; P >0.01) levels. No changes in pulmonary inflammation were measured. Conclusion We conclude that DHEA may be a treatment option to reduce systemic inflammation following musculoskeletal injuries although the pulmonary inflammatory reaction was not affected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fulminant changes in cytokine receptor signalling might provoke severe pathological alterations after multiple trauma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the posttraumatic imbalance of the innate immune system with a special focus on the STAT/SOCS family. METHODS 20 polytraumatized patients were included. Blood samples were drawn 0 h-72 h after trauma; mRNA expression profiles of IL-10, STAT 3, SOCS 1, and SOCS 3 were quantified by qPCR. RESULTS IL-10 mRNA expression increased significantly in the early posttraumatic period. STAT 3 mRNA expressions showed a significant maximum at 6 h after trauma. SOCS 1 levels significantly decreased 6 h-72 h after trauma. SOCS 3 levels were significantly higher in nonsurvivors 6 h after trauma. CONCLUSION We present a serial, sequential investigation in human neutrophil granulocytes of major trauma patients evaluating mRNA expression profiles of IL-10, STAT 3, SOCS 1, and SOCS 3. Posttraumatically, immune disorder was accompanied by a significant increase of IL-10 and STAT 3 mRNA expression, whereas SOCS 1 mRNA levels decreased after injury. We could demonstrate that death after trauma was associated with higher SOCS 3 mRNA levels already at 6 h after trauma. To support our results, further investigations have to evaluate protein levels of STAT/SOCS family in terms of posttraumatic immune imbalance.

Abstract
Abstract In this study, we aimed to evaluate the mean platelet voulme (MPV) levels of trauma patients who were admitted to our emergency department. Of the total 232 trauma patients, 40 females and 192 males over the age of 18 years were included in this study. Of them, 102 patients were mild trauma [Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 15-13)], 40 patients were moderate (GCS 12-9) and 90 patients were severe trauma (GCS 8-3) patients. We also calculated the Revised Trauma Score (RTS) of the patients. MPV levels were evaluated with GCS and RTS values. The control group was constituted of 100 healthy adults. Mean initial MPV value of GCS 15-13 patients was 8.25 fL, 8.25 fL in GCS 12-9 patients and 8.47 fL, in GCS 8-3 patients. Trauma severity was significantly related with initial MPV (iMPV) levels (p<0.05), initial Hb (iHb) levels (p<0.05), initial white blood count (iWBC) (p<0.05) and initial platelet (iPlt) levels (p<0.05). Severity of trauma was related with control MPV (kMPV) levels (p<0.05), control Hb (kHb) (p<0.05), control WBC (kWBC) (p<0.05), control Plt (kPlt) levels (p<0.05). MPV levels (p<0.05), Hb levels (p<0.05), WBC levels (p<0.05), Plt levels (p<0.05) were significantly different between trauma group and healthy group. IMPV and control kMPV levels were not related (p=0.149). But kHb - iHb levels (p<0.05), kWBC - iWBC levels (p<0.05), kPlt - iPlt levels (p<0.05), kGCS - iiGCS (p<0.05) were related to each other. We found a correlation between iMPV and iWBC levels (p<0.05, r=-0.342). Similarly, there was a correlation between severity of trauma and iMPV level (p<0.05, r=-0.224). We determined a significant correlation between iMPV and iPlt levels (p<0.05, r=-0.246). There was not a correlation between kMPV and kWBC (p>0.05, r=0.124). kMPV and kPlt levels (p<0.05, r=-0.174) were correlated. RTS was statistically related with GCS (p<0.05). Similarly, RTS was related with iMPV (p<0.05), iWBC(p<0.05) and iPlt (p<0.05) values, but there was not a relation with iHb (p>0.05). We found correlations between iMPV- trauma severity (p<0.05, r=-0.224), iMPV - RTS (p<0.05, r=0.134), iMPV - iWBC (p<0.05 r=-0.342), iMPV - iPlt (p<0.05, r=-0.246). Control RTS (seventh day of hospitalization) values were not related to kMPV (p>0.05), kHB (p>0.05), kWBC (p>0.05) and kPlt(p>0.05). There was a correlation between kRTS and kMPV (p<0.05, r=-0.169). Similarly, kMPV - kHb (p<0.05, r=-0.141), kMPV - kPlt (p<0.05, r=-0.174) were correlated. KMPV and kPlt were not correlated (p<0.05, r=0.124). Initial RTS and seventh day RTS values were significantly different (p<0.05). MPV may be helpful for emergency physicians for predicting the severity of trauma.

Abstract
Lymph stasis can result in edema and the accumulation of particulate matter, exudates, toxins and bacteria in tissue interstitial fluid, leading to inflammation, impaired immune cell trafficking, tissue hypoxia, tissue fibrosis and a variety of diseases. Previously, we demonstrated that osteopathic lymphatic pump techniques (LPTs) significantly increased thoracic and intestinal duct lymph flow. The purpose of this study was to determine if LPT would mobilize inflammatory mediators into the lymphatic circulation. Under anesthesia, thoracic or intestinal lymph of dogs was collected at resting (pre-LPT), during four minutes of LPT, and for 10 min following LPT (post-LPT), and the lymphatic concentrations of interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, interferon- γ, tissue necrosis factor α, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), keratinocyte chemoattractant, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and nitrotyrosine (NT) were measured. LPT significantly increased MCP-1 concentrations in thoracic duct lymph. Further, LPT increased both thoracic and intestinal duct lymph flux of cytokines and chemokines as compared with their respective pre-LPT flux. In addition, LPT increased lymphatic flux of SOD and NT. Ten minutes following cessation of LPT, thoracic and intestinal lymph flux of cytokines, chemokines, NT and SOD were similar to pre-LPT, demonstrating that their flux was transient and a response to LPT. This re-distribution of inflammatory mediators during LPT may provide scientific rationale for the clinical use of LPT to enhance immunity and treat infection.

Abstract
Critical injury in humans induces a genomic storm with simultaneous changes in expression of innate and adaptive immunity genes. Human survival from injury requires an appropriate inflammatory and immune response. We describe the circulating leukocyte transcriptome after severe trauma and burn injury, as well as in healthy subjects receiving low-dose bacterial endotoxin, and show that these severe stresses produce a global reprioritization affecting >80% of the cellular functions and pathways, a truly unexpected “genomic storm.” In severe blunt trauma, the early leukocyte genomic response is consistent with simultaneously increased expression of genes involved in the systemic inflammatory, innate immune, and compensatory antiinflammatory responses, as well as in the suppression of genes involved in adaptive immunity. Furthermore, complications like nosocomial infections and organ failure are not associated with any genomic evidence of a second hit and differ only in the magnitude and duration of this genomic reprioritization. The similarities in gene expression patterns between different injuries reveal an apparently fundamental human response to severe inflammatory stress, with genomic signatures that are surprisingly far more common than different. Based on these transcriptional data, we propose a new paradigm for the human immunological response to severe injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fractures, particularly intertrochanteric fractures, frequently occur in the elderly, and they are associated with a high incidence of complications and mortality. The development of markers is essential to allow for adjustments to treatment strategies in patients, as it remains unclear why some patients endure organ failure and others do not under seemingly similar clinical conditions. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine the kinetics of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-a, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 during the hospitalisation of patients and to examine the relationship of these parameters to outcome (mortality and complications) 6 months and 12 months postoperatively. METHODS AND SUBJECTS A total of 127 elderly patients, who underwent hip fracture surgery, were prospectively followed up for 12 months, and 60 healthy elderly volunteers were enrolled in the control group to examine the effects of trauma and surgery on the inflammatory response. The epidemiological characteristics, chronic medical conditions and type of operation and anaesthetic were recorded. Cognition was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination, and TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-10 levels were assessed during admission and preoperatively (post-anaesthesia) as well as 1 h, 1 day, 3 days and 5 days postoperatively. During the follow-up period, serious complications and mortality within 1 year were evaluated. RESULTS Overall, 96 patients survived, and 31 died within the 6-month postoperative period; 43 patients died, and 84 survived when examining the 12-month postoperative period. There were significant within-subject effects of time on TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-10 (P<0.001, P<0.001 and P<0.001). The above three cytokines were all significantly increased in the hip fracture patients compared with the control group. There were also differences in the kinetic patterns of all three parameters when the patients who died were compared with those who survived during the 6-month and 12-month postoperative periods. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that TNF-a at 1 day (odds ratio (OR)=1.020, P=0.045) and 3 days (OR=1.034, P=0.037) postoperatively and IL-6 at 1 day (OR=1.048, P=0.000) postoperatively were independent predictors of mortality at 6 months; IL-6 (OR=1.019, P=0.025) and IL-10 (OR=1.018, P=0.042) at 1 day postoperatively were independent predictors of mortality at 1 year. The analysis of the receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) showed that only IL-6 or IL-10 had the highest values for the area under the curve for mortality at 6 months and 12 months. Of the 84 patients who survived, 23 patients had 32 complications. The most common complication was pneumonia infection (11/84, 13%). TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-10 kinetics were found to differ in patients with complications compared to those without complications and in patients with infections compared with patients without complications. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that IL-6 (OR=1.081, P=0.000) at 1 day postoperatively was an independent outcome predictor. CONCLUSION In elderly hip fracture patients, cytokine concentrations (TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-10) represented independent outcome predictors for adverse postoperative outcomes (mortality and complications). The inflammatory response played an important role in postoperative organ dysfunction in elderly hip fracture patients, and further study is needed to define whether decreasing the inflammatory response through cytokine antibodies or damage control strategies would decrease mortality and complication following hip fracture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complex biological processes such as acute inflammation induced by trauma/hemorrhagic shock/ (T/HS) are dynamic and multi-dimensional. We utilized multiplexing cytokine analysis coupled with data-driven modeling to gain a systems perspective into T/HS. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Mice were subjected to surgical cannulation trauma (ST) ± hemorrhagic shock (HS; 25 mmHg), and followed for 1, 2, 3, or 4 h in each case. Serum was assayed for 20 cytokines and NO(2) (-)/NO(3) (-). These data were analyzed using four data-driven methods (Hierarchical Clustering Analysis [HCA], multivariate analysis [MA], Principal Component Analysis [PCA], and Dynamic Network Analysis [DyNA]). Using HCA, animals subjected to ST vs. ST + HS could be partially segregated based on inflammatory mediator profiles, despite a large overlap. Based on MA, interleukin [IL]-12p40/p70 (IL-12.total), monokine induced by interferon-γ (CXCL-9) [MIG], and IP-10 were the best discriminators between ST and ST/HS. PCA suggested that the inflammatory mediators found in the three main principal components in animals subjected to ST were IL-6, IL-10, and IL-13, while the three principal components in ST + HS included a large number of cytokines including IL-6, IL-10, keratinocyte-derived cytokine (CXCL-1) [KC], and tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α]. DyNA suggested that the circulating mediators produced in response to ST were characterized by a high degree of interconnection/complexity at all time points; the response to ST + HS consisted of different central nodes, and exhibited zero network density over the first 2 h with lesser connectivity vs. ST at all time points. DyNA also helped link the conclusions from MA and PCA, in that central nodes consisting of IP-10 and IL-12 were seen in ST, while MIG and IL-6 were central nodes in ST + HS. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE These studies help elucidate the dynamics of T/HS-induced inflammation, complementing other forms of dynamic mechanistic modeling. These methods should be applicable to the analysis of other complex biological processes.

Abstract
This study was performed to analyze the role of hemorrhage-induced hypotension in the induction of systemic inflammation and remote organ dysfunction. Male C57/BL6 mice (6- to 10-week old and 20-30 g) were used. Animals were either subjected to pseudo-fracture [PF; standardized soft-tissue injury and injection of crushed bone, PF group: n = 9], or PF combined with hemorrhagic shock (HS + PF group: n = 6). Endpoint was 6 h. Systemic inflammation was assessed by IL-6 and IL-10 levels. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and NF-κB activity in the lung and liver tissue were obtained to assess remote organ damage. The increases of systemic cytokines are similar for animals subjected to PF and PF + HS (IL-6: 189 pg/ml ± 32.5 vs. 160 pg/ml ± 5.3; IL-10: 60.3 pg/ml ± 15.8 vs. 88 pg/ml ± 32.4). Furthermore, the features (ALT; NF-κB) of liver injury are equally elevated in mice subjected to PF (76.9 U/L ± 4.5) and HS + PF (80 U/L ± 5.5). Lung injury, addressed by MPO activity was more severe in group HS + PF (2.95 ng/ml ± 0.32) than in group PF (1.21 ng/ml ± 0.2). Both PF and additional HS cause a systemic inflammatory response. In addition, hemorrhage seems to be associated with remote affects on the lung.

Abstract
A central goal of industrialized nations is to provide personalized, preemptive and predictive medicine, while maintaining healthcare costs at a minimum. To do so, we must confront and gain an understanding of inflammation, a complex, nonlinear process central to many diseases that affect both industrialized and developing nations. Herein, we describe the work aimed at creating a rational, engineering-oriented and evidence-based synthesis of inflammation geared towards rapid clinical application. This comprehensive approach, which we call 'Translational Systems Biology', to date has been utilized for in silico studies of sepsis, trauma/hemorrhage/traumatic brain injury, acute liver failure and wound healing. This framework has now allowed us to suggest how to modulate acute inflammation in a rational and individually optimized fashion using engineering principles applied to a biohybrid device. We suggest that we are on the cusp of fulfilling the promise of in silico modeling for personalized medicine for inflammatory disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Modern war ballistics and blast injuries inflict devastating extremity injuries, violating soft tissue, bone, and neurovascular structures. Despite advances in complex wound management, appropriate timing of war wound closure remains subjective. In addition, the pathophysiology of acute wound failure is poorly defined. METHODS Patients with penetrating extremity wounds sustained during combat were prospectively studied and followed for 30 days after definitive wound closure. The primary outcome was wound healing. Wound dehiscence was defined as spontaneous partial or complete wound disruption after closure. Serum, wound effluent, and wound bed tissue biopsy were collected at each surgical wound debridement. Serum and wound effluent were analyzed with a multiplex array of 22 cytokines and chemokines, and wound tissue for corresponding gene transcript expression. RESULTS Fifty-two penetrating extremity war wounds in 33 male patients were investigated. Nine (17%) wounds dehisced. Concomitant vascular injury, increased wound size, and higher injury severity score correlated with wound dehiscence. Both serum and wound effluent cytokine and chemokine protein profiles were statistically associated with healing outcome at various time points. Wound biopsy gene transcript expression demonstrated increased tissue inflammation associated with wound failure. Multiple protein and gene transcript biomarkers predictive of wound healing were identified. CONCLUSIONS The cytokine and chemokine protein and gene transcript expression patterns demonstrate a condition of inflammatory dysregulation associated with war wound failure. A molecular biomarker panel may predict combat wound healing outcome and warrants prospective validation.

Abstract
Despite the enormous efforts to elucidate the mechanisms of the development of multiple organ failure (MOF) following trauma, MOF following trauma is still a leading cause of late post-injury death and morbidity. Now, it has been proven that excessive systemic inflammation following trauma participates in the development of MOF. Fundamentally, the inflammatory response is a host-defence response; however, on occasion, this response turns around to cause deterioration to host depending on exo- and endogenic factors. Through this review we aim to describe the pathophysiological approach for MOF after trauma studied so far and also introduce the prospects of this issue for the future.

An adequately robust early TNF-alpha response is a hallmark of survival following trauma/hemorrhage. PLoS One 2009; 4:e8406.

Abstract
Background Trauma/hemorrhagic shock (T/HS) results in cytokine-mediated acute inflammation that is generally considered detrimental. Methodology/Principal Findings Paradoxically, plasma levels of the early inflammatory cytokine TNF-α (but not IL-6, IL-10, or NO2-/NO3-) were significantly elevated within 6 h post-admission in 19 human trauma survivors vs. 4 non-survivors. Moreover, plasma TNF-α was inversely correlated with Marshall Score, an index of organ dysfunction, both in the 23 patients taken together and in the survivor cohort. Accordingly, we hypothesized that if an early, robust pro-inflammatory response were to be a marker of an appropriate response to injury, then individuals exhibiting such a response would be predisposed to survive. We tested this hypothesis in swine subjected to various experimental paradigms of T/HS. Twenty-three anesthetized pigs were subjected to T/HS (12 HS-only and 11 HS + Thoracotomy; mean arterial pressure of 30 mmHg for 45–90 min) along with surgery-only controls. Plasma obtained at pre-surgery, baseline post-surgery, beginning of HS, and every 15 min thereafter until 75 min (in the HS only group) or 90 min (in the HS + Thoracotomy group) was assayed for TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and NO2-/NO3-. Mean post-surgery±HS TNF-α levels were significantly higher in the survivors vs. non-survivors, while non-survivors exhibited no measurable change in TNF-α levels over the same interval. Conclusions/Significance Contrary to the current dogma, survival in the setting of severe, acute T/HS appears to be associated with an immediate increase in serum TNF-α. It is currently unclear if this response was the cause of this protection, a marker of survival, or both. This abstract won a Young Investigator Travel Award at the SHOCK 2008 meeting in Cologne, Germany.
