Abstract
INTRODUCTION The progression of pulmonary contusions remains poorly understood. This study aimed to measure the radiographic change in pulmonary contusions over time and evaluate the association of the radiographic change with clinical outcomes and surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF). METHODS This retrospective cohort study included adults admitted with three or more displaced rib fractures or flail segment on trauma CT and when a chest CT was repeated within one week after trauma. Radiographic severity of pulmonary contusions was assessed using the Blunt Pulmonary Contusion Score (BPC18). Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the relation between SSRF and worsening contusions on repeat CT, adjusted for potential confounders. RESULTS Of 231 patients, 56 (24%) had a repeat CT scan. Of these, 55 (98%) had pulmonary contusion on the first CT scan with a median BPC18 score of 5 (P25-P75 3-7). Repeat CTs showed an overall decrease of the median BPC18 score to 4 (P25-P75 2-6, P = .02), but demonstrated a worsening of the pulmonary contusion in 16 patients (29%). All repeat CTs conducted within 12 hours post-injury demonstrated increasing BPC18. Radiographic worsening of pulmonary contusions was not associated with SSRF, nor with worse respiratory outcomes or intensive care length of stay, compared to patients with radiographically stable or improving contusions. DISCUSSION In patients with severe rib fracture patterns who undergo repeat imaging, pulmonary contusions are prevalent and become radiographically worse within at least the first 12 hours after injury. No association between radiographic worsening and clinical outcomes was found.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) can make intelligent decisions in a manner akin to that of the human mind. AI has the potential to improve clinical workflow, diagnosis, and prognosis, especially in radiology. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a very diverse illness that is characterized by interstitial opacities, mostly in the dependent areas, decreased lung aeration with alveolar collapse, and inflammatory lung edema resulting in elevated lung weight. As a result, lung imaging is a crucial tool for evaluating the mechanical and morphological traits of ARDS patients. Compared to traditional chest radiography, sensitivity and specificity of lung computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound are higher. The state of the art in the application of AI is summarized in this narrative review which focuses on CT and ultrasound techniques in patients with ARDS. A total of eighteen items were retrieved. The primary goals of using AI for lung imaging were to evaluate the risk of developing ARDS, the measurement of alveolar recruitment, potential alternative diagnoses, and outcome. While the physician must still be present to guarantee a high standard of examination, AI could help the clinical team provide the best care possible.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Previous preclinical models of multicompartmental injury have investigated its effects for durations of less than 72 h and the long-term effects have not been defined. We hypothesized that a model of multicompartmental injury would result in systemic inflammation and multiorgan dysfunction that persists at 1 wk. METHODS Male and proestrus female Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 16/group) underwent polytrauma (PT) (unilateral right lung contusion, hemorrhagic shock, cecectomy, bifemoral pseudofractures) and were compared to naive controls. Weight, hemoglobin, plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and plasma toll-like receptor 4 were evaluated on days two and seven. Bilateral lungs were sectioned, stained and assessed for injury at day seven. Comparisons were performed in Graphpad with significance defined as ∗P <0.05. RESULTS Rats who underwent PT had significant weight loss and anemia at day 2 (P = 0.001) compared to naïve rats which persisted at day 7 (P = 0.001). PT rats had elevated plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin at day 2 compared to naïve (P <0.0001) which remained elevated at day 7 (P <0.0001). Plasma toll-like receptor 4 was elevated in PT compared to naïve at day 2 (P = 0.03) and day 7 (P = 0.01). Bilateral lungs showed significant injury in PT cohorts at day 7 compared to naïve (P <0.0004). PT males had worse renal function at day seven compared to females (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Multicompartmental trauma induces systemic inflammation and multiorgan dysfunction without recovery by day seven. However, females demonstrate improved renal recovery compared to males. Long-term assessment of preclinical PT models are crucial to better understand and evaluate future therapeutic immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung contusion caused by blunt chest trauma evokes a severe inflammatory reaction in the pulmonary parenchyma that may be associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Although hydrogen gas has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and is protective against multiple types of lung injury at safe concentrations, the effects of inhaled hydrogen gas on blunt lung injury have not been previously investigated. Therefore, using a mouse model, we tested the hypothesis that hydrogen inhalation after chest trauma would reduce pulmonary inflammation and acute lung injury associated with lung contusion. METHODS Inbred male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham with air inhalation, lung contusion with air inhalation, and lung contusion with 1.3% hydrogen inhalation. Experimental lung contusion was induced using a highly reproducible and standardized apparatus. Immediately after induction of lung contusion, mice were placed in a chamber exposed to 1.3% hydrogen gas in the air. Histopathological analysis and real-time polymerase chain reaction in lung tissue and blood gas analysis were performed 6 hours after contusion. RESULTS Histopathological examination of the lung tissue after contusion revealed perivascular/intra-alveolar hemorrhage, perivascular/interstitial leukocyte infiltration, and interstitial/intra-alveolar edema. These histological changes and the extent of lung contusion, as determined by computed tomography, were significantly mitigated by hydrogen inhalation. Hydrogen inhalation also significantly reduced inflammatory cytokine and chemokine mRNA levels and improved oxygenation. CONCLUSION Hydrogen inhalation therapy significantly mitigated inflammatory responses associated with lung contusion in mice. Hydrogen inhalation therapy may be a supplemental therapeutic strategy for treating lung contusion.

Abstract
Thoracic blunt trauma is evident in up to one fifth of all hospital admissions, and is second only to head trauma in motor vehicle crashes. One of the most problematic injury mechanisms associated with blunt thoracic trauma is pulmonary contusion, occurring in up to 75% of blunt thoracic trauma cases. The source and effects of pulmonary contusion caused by blunt lung injury are not well defined, especially within the field of continuum biomechanics. This, paired with unreliable diagnostics for pulmonary contusion, leads to uncertainty in both the clinical entity and mechanics of how to predict presence of injury. There is a distinct need to combine the clinical aspects with mechanical insights through the identification and mitigation of blunt lung trauma and material testing and modeling. This is achieved through using the mechanical insights of lung tissue behavior in order to better understand the injurious mechanisms and courses of treatment of blunt-caused pulmonary contusion. This paper hopes to act as a step forward in connecting two perspectives of blunt lung injury, the clinical entity and mechanical testing and modeling, by reviewing the known literature and identifying the unknowns within the two related fields. Through a review of related literature, clinical evidence is correlated to mechanical data to gain a better understanding of what is being missed in identification and response to blunt lung injury as a whole.

Abstract
Cluster of differentiation 5 antigen-like (CD5L), derived from alveolar epithelial cells partly, is a secreted protein. It is shown that CD5L is associated with lung inflammation and systemic inflammatory diseases, but the relationship between CD5L and trauma-related acute lung parenchymal injury (PLI), acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is unclear. This study aims to explore the value of serum CD5L levels in predicting trauma-associated PLI/ARDS and its potential clinical significance.This is a prospective observational study, and a total of 127 trauma patients were recruited from the emergency department (ED), and among them, 81 suffered from PLI/ARDS within 24 hours after trauma, and 46 suffered from trauma without PLI/ARDS. Fifty healthy subjects from the medical examination center were also recruited as controls for comparison. The serum CD5L level was measured within 24 hours of admission. The receiver operating characteristic analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to identify the correlation between high CD5L and trauma associated-PLI/ARDS within 24 hours following trauma.The trauma associated-PLI/ARDS subjects showed a significantly higher level of serum CD5L on emergency department admission within 24 hours after trauma compared with its level in non-trauma associated-PLI/ARDS subjects and healthy subjects. The initial CD5L concentration higher than 150.3 ng/mL was identified as indicating a high risk of PLI/ARDS within 24 hours following trauma (95% confidence interval: 0.674-0.878; P < .001). Moreover, CD5L was an independent risk factor for trauma associated-PLI/ARDS within 24 hours following trauma.CD5L could predict PLI/ARDS within 24 hours following trauma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) constitutes a major factor determining the clinical outcome in polytraumatized patients. Early prediction of ARDS is crucial for timely supportive therapy to reduce morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to develop and test a machine learning-based method for the early prediction of ARDS derived from the first computed tomography scan of polytraumatized patients after admission to the hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred twenty-three patients (86 male and 37 female, age 41.2 ± 16.4) with an injury severity score (ISS) of 16 or higher (31.9 ± 10.9) were prospectively included and received a CT scan within 1 h after the accident. The lungs, including air pockets and pleural effusions, were automatically segmented using a deep learning-based algorithm. Subsequently, we extracted radiomics features from within the lung and trained an ensemble of gradient boosted trees (GBT) to predict future ARDS. RESULTS Cross-validated ARDS prediction resulted in an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.79 for the radiomics score compared to 0.66 for ISS, and 0.68 for the abbreviated injury score of the thorax (AIS-thorax). Prediction using the radiomics score yielded an f1-score of 0.70 compared to 0.53 for ISS and 0.57 for AIS-thorax. The radiomics score achieved a sensitivity and specificity of 0.80 and 0.76. CONCLUSIONS This study proposes a radiomics-based algorithm for the prediction of ARDS in polytraumatized patients at the time of admission to hospital with an accuracy that competes and surpasses conventional scores despite the heterogeneous, and therefore more realistic, scanning protocols. KEY POINTS • Early prediction of acute respiratory distress syndrome in polytraumatized patients is possible, even when using heterogenous data. • Radiomics-based prediction resulted in an area under the curve of 0.79 compared to 0.66 for the injury severity score, and 0.68 for the abbreviated injury score of the thorax. • Highlighting the most relevant lung regions for prediction facilitates the understanding of machine learning-based prediction.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 80%-85% of all lung malignancies and good diagnosis and prognosis of NSCLC are critical to the increase of its survival rate. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) abundantly present in numerous cancer types, and the role of TAMs in tumor biology and their prognostic value in cancer become major topics of interest. After various stimulations in the tumor microenvironment, TAMs develop into a M1 (tumor-inhibitory) phenotype or M2 (tumor-promoting) phenotype. Recent studies show that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) monomers have markedly inhibitory actions for NSCLC through M1/M2 modulation. Due to the TCM monomers mainly covered five categories, i.e. terpenoids, flavonoids, polysaccharides, natural polyphenols, and alkaloids. Thus, we will discuss the regulation of TCM monomers on TAM involve in these five parts in this review. In addition, the potential role of TAMs as therapeutic targets will be discussed.

Abstract
Acid aspiration-induced lung injury is a common disease in the intensive care unit (ICU) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α is a major transcription factor responsible for regulating the cellular response to changes in oxygen tension. A clear understanding of the function of HIF-1α in lung inflammatory response is currently lacking. Here, we sought to determine the role of HIF-1α in type 2 alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) in the generation of the acute inflammatory response following gastric aspiration (GA). GA led to profound hypoxia at very early time points following GA. This correlated to a robust increase in HIF-1α, tissue albumin and pro-inflammatory mediators following GA in AECs. The extent of lung injury and the release of pro/anti-inflammatory cytokines were significantly reduced in HIF-1α (-/-) mice. Finally, we report that HIF-1α upregulation of the acute inflammatory response is dependent on NF-κB following GA.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the most severe form of acute lung injury, is associated with reduced lung compliance and hypoxemia. Curcumin exhibits potent anti-inflammatory properties but has poor solubility and rapid plasma clearance. To overcome these physiochemical limitations and uncover the full therapeutic potential of curcumin in lung inflammation, in this study we utilized a novel water-soluble curcumin formulation (CDC) and delivered it directly into the lungs of C57BL/6 mice inoculated with a lethal dose of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP). Administration of CDC led to a significant reduction in mortality, in bacterial presence within blood and lungs, as well as in lung injury, inflammation, and oxidative stress. The expression of Klebsiella hemolysin gene; TNF-α; IFN-β; nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-containing family, pyrin domain-containing-3; hypoxia-inducible factor 1/2α; and NF-κB were also decreased following CDC treatment, suggesting modulation of the inflammasome complex and hypoxia signaling pathways as an underlying mechanism by which CDC reduces the severity of pneumonia. On a cellular level, CDC led to diminished cell death, improved viability, and protection of human lung epithelial cells in vitro. Overall, our studies demonstrate that CDC administration improves cell survival and reduces injury, inflammation, and mortality in a murine model of lethal gram-negative pneumonia. CDC, therefore, has promising anti-inflammatory potential in pneumonia and likely other inflammatory lung diseases, demonstrating the importance of optimizing the physicochemical properties of active natural products to optimize their clinical application.-Zhang, B., Swamy, S., Balijepalli, S., Panicker, S., Mooliyil, J., Sherman, M.

Abstract
Trauma is the leading cause of mortality in humans below the age of 40. Patients injured by accidents frequently suffer severe multiple trauma, which is life-threatening and leads to death in many cases. In multiply injured patients, thoracic trauma constitutes the third most common cause of mortality after abdominal injury and head trauma. Furthermore, 40-50% of all trauma-related deaths within the first 48 h after hospital admission result from uncontrolled hemorrhage. Physical trauma and hemorrhage are frequently associated with complex pathophysiological and immunological responses. To develop a greater understanding of the mechanisms of single and/or multiple trauma, reliable and reproducible animal models, fulfilling the ethical 3 R's criteria (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement), established by Russell and Burch in 'The Principles of Human Experimental Technique' (published 1959), are required. These should reflect both the complex pathophysiological and the immunological alterations induced by trauma, with the objective to translate the findings to the human situation, providing new clinical treatment approaches for patients affected by severe trauma. Small animal models are the most frequently used in trauma research. Rattus norvegicus was the first mammalian species domesticated for scientific research, dating back to 1830. To date, there exist numerous well-established procedures to mimic different forms of injury patterns in rats, animals that are uncomplicated in handling and housing. Nevertheless, there are some physiological and genetic differences between humans and rats, which should be carefully considered when rats are chosen as a model organism. The aim of this review is to illustrate the advantages as well as the disadvantages of rat models, which should be considered in trauma research when selecting an appropriate in vivo model. Being the most common and important models in trauma research, this review focuses on hemorrhagic shock, blunt chest trauma, bone fracture, skin and soft-tissue trauma, burns, traumatic brain injury and polytrauma.

Abstract
The targeted pharmacological modulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) is of major medical interest. These innate immune cells play a central role in the defense against pathogenic microorganisms. However, their excessive chemotactic recruitment into tissues after traumatic injury is detrimental due to local and systemic inflammation. Rho-GTPases, being the master regulators of the actin cytoskeleton, regulate migration and chemotaxis of PMNs, are attractive pharmacological targets. Herein, supramolecular protein complexes are assembled in a "mix-and-match" approach containing the specific Rho-inhibiting clostridial C3 enzyme and three PMN-binding peptides using an avidin platform. Selective delivery of the C3 Rho-inhibitor with these complexes into the cytosol of human neutrophil-like NB-4 cells and primary human PMNs ex vivo is demonstrated, where they catalyze the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribosylation of Rho and induce a characteristic change in cell morphology. Notably, the complexes do not deliver C3 enzyme into human lung epithelial cells, A549 lung cancer cells, and immortalized human alveolar epithelial cells (hAELVi), demonstrating their cell type-selectivity. The supramolecular complexes represent attractive molecular tools to decipher the role of PMNs in infection and inflammation or for the development of novel therapeutic approaches for diseases that are associated with hyperactivity and reactivity of PMNs such as post-traumatic injury.

Abstract
Objective: To compare clinical effects of thoracoscopic surgery and thoracotomy in the treatment of thoracic trauma. Methods: Two hundred and fourteen patients with thoracic trauma were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, 107 in each group. The control group was treated with conventional thoracotomy, while the observation group was treated with thoracoscopic surgery. The operation-related indications, hospitalization, postoperative complications and inflammatory factor level were observed and compared between the two groups. The study was conducted from April 2016 to February 2018. Results: The duration of operation of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group, the amount of bleeding during operation of the observation group was less than that of the control group, and the postoperative visual analogue score (VAS) of the observation group was lower than that of the control group; the difference were statistically significant (P<0.05). The hospitalization time, time of off-bed activity and time of resuming daily life of the observation group were shorter than those of the control group, and the amount of drainage fluid of the observation group within 24 hours after operation was less than that of the control group; the differences had statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05). The levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a and interleukin (IL)-6 in both groups after surgery were higher than those before surgery, but the indicators in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Thoracoscopic surgery can reduce pains of patients, speed up recovery, and reduce incidence of surgical infection in the treatment of thoracic trauma. It is a safe and effective treatment method, which is worth clinical application.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Unilateral chest trauma has been perfectly described in the literature while bilateral chest trauma has never been specifically probed, the aim of this study is to highlight the specificities, presentations, the difference in the therapeutic algorithm and outcome of patients with bilateral thoracic trauma. PATIENTS AND METHODS A single center, prospective study was carried out in four years. The data were taken directly from the patients, patient's relatives and the medical records. All patients presenting with bilateral chest trauma, admitted to the hospital overnight, were included in this study. The patients were managed according to the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) protocol which consists of primary and secondary surveys. For those patients who diagnosed to have either haemo or pneumothorax or both, thoracostomy tube was inserted. Descriptive and analytical analyses were calculated. RESULTS The study included 107 patients. Bilateral blunt trauma was found in 72 (67.3%) cases while bilateral penetrating trauma was found in 35 (32.7%) patients. The most common mechanism of trauma was road traffic accidents (RTA) accounting for 68 (63.6%) victims. Overall 30-day mortality was 14.9%. In blunt trauma, 3 or more rib fracture, pulmonary contusion, intubation, and intensive care unit admission were among the predictors of increased risk of mortality. CONCLUSION Bilateral thoracic trauma has comparable patterns of presentation, choices of investigation, strategies of management, predictors of the outcome, morbidity and mortality with unilateral chest trauma.

Abstract
Background While the incidence and aspects of pneumonia in ICU patients has been extensively discussed in the literature, studies on the occurrence of pneumonia in severely injured patients are rare. The aim of the present study is to elucidate factors associated with the occurrence of pneumonia in severely injured patients with thoracic trauma. Setting Level-I University Trauma Centres associated with the TraumaRegister DGU®. Methods A total of 1162 severely injured adult patients with thoracic trauma documented in the TraumaRegister DGU® (TR-DGU) were included in this study. Demographic data, injury severity, duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), duration of ICU stay, occurrence of pneumonia, bronchoalveolar lavage, aspiration, pathogen details, and incidences of mortality were evaluated. Statistical evaluation was performed using SPSS (Version 25.0, SPSS, Inc.) software. Results The overall incidence of pneumonia was 27.5%. Compared to patients without pneumonia, patients with pneumonia had sustained more severe injuries (mean ISS: 32.6 vs. 25.4), were older (mean age: 51.3 vs. 47.5) and spent longer periods under MV (mean: 368.9 h vs. 114.9 h). Age, sex (male), aspiration, and duration of MV were all independent predictors for pneumonia occurrence in a multivariate analysis. The cut-off point for duration of MV that best discriminated between patients who would and would not develop pneumonia during their hospital stay was 102 h. The extent of thoracic trauma (AISthorax), ISS, and presence of pulmonary comorbidities did not show significant associations to pneumonia incidence in our multivariate analysis. No significant difference in mortality between patients with and without pneumonia was observed. Conclusions Likelihood of pneumonia increases with age, aspiration, and duration of MV. These parameters were not found to be associated with differences in outcomes between patients with and without pneumonia. Future studies should focus on independent parameters to more clearly identify severely injured subgroups with a high risk of developing pneumonia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the fate and regulation of hypoxic type II alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) after lung contusion (LC). BACKGROUND LC due to thoracic trauma is a major risk factor for the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome. AECs have recently been implicated as a primary driver of inflammation in LC. The main pathological consequence of LC is hypoxia, and a key mediator of adaptation to hypoxia is hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1. We have recently published that HIF-1α is a major driver of acute inflammation after LC through type II AEC. METHODS LC was induced in wild-type mice (C57BL/6), luciferase-based hypoxia reporter mice (ODD-Luc), and HIF-1α conditional knockout mice. The degree of hypoxia was assessed using hypoxyprobe and in vivo imaging system. The fate of hypoxic AEC was evaluated by luciferase dual staining with caspases-3 and Ki-67, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling, and flow cytometry with ApoStat. NLRP-3 expression was determined by western blot. Laser capture microdissection was used to isolate AECs in vivo, and collected RNA was analyzed by Q-PCR for HIF-related pathways. RESULTS Global hypoxia was present after LC, but hypoxic foci were not uniform. Hypoxic AECs preferentially undergo apoptosis. There were significant reductions in NLRP-3 in HIF-1α conditional knockout mice. The expression of proteins involved in HIF-related pathways and inflammasome activation were significantly increased in hypoxic AECs. CONCLUSIONS These are the first in vivo data to identify, isolate, and characterize hypoxic AECs. HIF-1α regulation through hypoxic AECs is critical to the initiation of acute inflammation after LC.

Abstract
There is association between lung contusion (lC) and a progressive inflammatory response. The protective effect of vitamin C and vitamin E, as strong free radical scavengers on favourite outcome of (LC) in animal models, has been confirmed. Design to evaluate the effect of vitamins, E and C on arterial blood gas (ABG) and ICU stay, in (LC), with injury severity score (ISS) 18 ± 2, due to blunt chest trauma. Methods This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Patients with (ISS) 18 ± 2 blunt chest trauma, who meet criteria, participated in the study. A total of 80 patients from Feb 2015 to Jun2018and were randomly divided into 4 groups. Patients received intravenous vitamin E (1000IU mg), was (group I); intravenous vitamin C (500) (group II). Vitamin C + vitamin E = (group III), and intravenous distilled water = (control group) or (group IV). ABG, serum cortisol, and CRP levels were determined at baseline, 24 h and 48 h after the intervention. Results a significant decrease in ICU stay in group III compared to other groups (p < 0.001). Co-administration of vitamin C and vitamin E showed significant increases pH (values to reference range from acidemia”), oxygen pressure, and oxygen saturation in group III compared to other groups (p < 0.001). A significant decrease in carbon dioxide pressure was also detected after receiving vitamin C and vitamin E in group III, compared to other groups (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference cortisol and CRP levels between groups after the intervention. Conclusion Co-administration of vitamin C and vitamin E, improve the ABG parameters and reduce ICU stay. Most previous studies about pulmonary contusion were performed on animal model, this is a human study in surgery ICU. Administration of vitamin C and vitamin E showed protective effects on pulmonary contusion, co-administration of them also was more effective. PH values, oxygen pressure, and oxygen saturation was significantly increase in group III compared to other groups (p < 0.001). carbon dioxide pressure also was significantly decrease in group III. Mean ICU stay in group III (co-administration of vit C + E compare with control group, significantly decreased, p < 0.001).

Abstract
Lung contusion (LC) is a significant risk factor for the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) recognizes specific unmethylated CpG motifs, which are prevalent in microbial but not vertebrate genomic DNA, leading to innate and acquired immune responses. TLR9 signaling has recently been implicated as a critical component of the inflammatory response following lung injury. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the contribution of TLR9 signaling to the acute physiologic changes following LC. Nonlethal unilateral closed-chest LC was induced in TLR9 (-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice. The mice were sacrificed at 5, 24, 48, and 72-h time points. The extent of injury was assessed by measuring bronchoalveolar lavage, cells (cytospin), albumin (permeability injury), and cytokines (inflammation). Following LC, only the TLR9 (-/-) mice showed significant reductions in the levels of albumin; release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and Keratinocyte chemoattractant; production of macrophage chemoattractant protein 5; and recruitment of alveolar macrophages and neutrophil infiltration. Histological evaluation demonstrated significantly worse injury at all-time points for WT mice. Macrophages, isolated from TLR9 (-/-) mice, exhibited increased phagocytic activity at 24 h after LC compared with those isolated from WT mice. TLR9, therefore, appears to be functionally important in the development of progressive lung injury and inflammation following LC. Our findings provide a new framework for understanding the pathogenesis of lung injury and suggest blockade of TLR9 as a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of LC-induced lung injury.

Abstract
Background Blunt trauma is the most frequent mechanism of injury in multiple trauma, commonly resulting from road traffic collisions or falls. Two of the most frequent injuries in patients with multiple trauma are chest trauma and extremity fracture. Several trauma mouse models combine chest trauma and head injury, but no trauma mouse model to date includes the combination of long bone fractures and chest trauma. Outcome is essentially determined by the combination of these injuries. In this study, we attempted to establish a reproducible novel multiple trauma model in mice that combines blunt trauma, major injuries and simple practicability. Methods Ninety-six male C57BL/6 N mice (n = 8/group) were subjected to trauma for isolated femur fracture and a combination of femur fracture and chest injury. Serum samples of mice were obtained by heart puncture at defined time points of 0 h (hour), 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 3 d (days), and 7 d. Results A tendency toward reduced weight and temperature was observed at 24 h after chest trauma and femur fracture. Blood analyses revealed a decrease in hemoglobin during the first 24 h after trauma. Some animals were killed by heart puncture immediately after chest contusion; these animals showed the most severe lung contusion and hemorrhage. The extent of structural lung injury varied in different mice but was evident in all animals. Representative H&E-stained (Haematoxylin and Eosin-stained) paraffin lung sections of mice with multiple trauma revealed hemorrhage and an inflammatory immune response. Plasma samples of mice with chest trauma and femur fracture showed an up-regulation of IL-1β (Interleukin-1β), IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70 and TNF-α (Tumor necrosis factor- α) compared with the control group. Mice with femur fracture and chest trauma showed a significant up-regulation of IL-6 compared to group with isolated femur fracture. Conclusions The multiple trauma mouse model comprising chest trauma and femur fracture enables many analogies to clinical cases of multiple trauma in humans and demonstrates associated characteristic clinical and pathophysiological changes. This model is easy to perform, is economical and can be used for further research examining specific immunological questions.

Abstract
Minimal advances have been made in the management of pulmonary contusions (PCs). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of cyclooxygenase inhibition on outcomes following PC in a rat model. PC was induced in anesthetized adult rats. Ibuprofen was given to the treatment group (TG) and water was given to the control group (CG). Lung injury was assessed with pulse oximetry, arterial blood gases, CT, and histopathologic examination. Inflammation was measured with both serum and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) levels of tumor necrosis factor a and interleukin-6. Rats in the TG did not differ from rats in the CG with respect to oxygenation. Pathologic examination demonstrated a trend toward more inflammatory infiltrate in the CG, yet the sizes of the contusions were larger in the TG. The CG trended toward decreased levels of interleukin-6 in the serum and BAL at both three and seven days. While BAL levels of tumor necrosis factor a were increased in the TG at three days compared to the CG, they trended toward a reduced amount at seven days. Our data do not support cyclooxygenase inhibition for treatment to decrease the respiratory compromise associated with PC in this model of rat PCs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the increase of parenchymal lung injury (PLI) volume between the initial and a follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan and to ascertain which of the 2 scans was more appropriate to predict acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). MATERIAL AND METHODS From 2011 to 2015, polytraumatized patients (≥18 years; ISS ≥ 16) directly admitted to our level I trauma center were included in our prospective study if a follow-up CT scan was possible 24 to 48 hours after the trauma. The PLI volume was measured using volumetric analysis. Statistical calculations were performed to identify patients at risk for ARDS. RESULTS One hundred thirty patients (mean age, 41.3 years; mean ISS, 31.9) met the inclusion criteria. Median relative PLI volume was higher in the follow-up than in the initial CTs (9.65% vs 4.84%; P = .001). The ARDS developed in 42 patients (32.3%). Their initial PLI volume was higher compared with those without ARDS (11.23% vs 2.14%; P < .0001). The ARDS incidence increased with increasing initial PLI volume. Receiver operating characteristic statistics identified initial (area under the curve = 0.753) and follow-up relative PLI volume as a predictor for ARDS (area under the curve = 0.725). CONCLUSIONS The CT scans performed directly after admission are sufficient to define patients at risk for ARDS. Therefore, solely the incidence of PLI does not justify a routine follow-up CT scan.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multiple rib fractures (RFs) and pulmonary contusions (PCs), with resulting systemic lung inflammation, are the most common injuries caused by blunt chest trauma (BCT) in motor vehicle accidents. This study examined levels of the inflammation marker interleukin (IL)-6 and those of the acute-phase reactant surfactant protein (SP)-D in patients with BCT. DESIGN Prospective, cross-sectional, observational study. SETTING Single-centre, tertiary care hospital in the Black Sea Region of Turkey. PARTICIPANTS The study included 60 patients with BCT who were hospitalised in our thoracic surgery department. PARAMETERS MEASURES The SP-D and IL-6 serum levels of patients with RFs (two or more RFs) (n=30) and patients with PCs (n=30) were measured after 6 hours, 24 hours and 7 days, and compared with those of age-matched and gender-matched healthy participants. RESULTS The 6-hour serum SP-D levels of the RFs (p=0.017) and PCs (p<0.001) groups were significantly higher than those of the healthy controls. The 24-hour and 7-day SP-D levels of both groups were also higher than the control group. The serum IL-6 levels of both groups were significantly higher than those of the control group. We have found Injury Severity Score to be independently related to 6-hour IL-6 (β=1.414, p<0.001) and 24-hour IL-6 levels (β=1.067, p<0.001). The development of complications was independently related to 6-hour SP-D level (β=0.211, p=0.047). CONCLUSIONS RFs and PCs after BCT lead to local and systemic inflammation due to lung injury. The levels of the systemic inflammation marker IL-6 and those of the acute-phase reactant SP-D were elevated in the present study. The SP-D level may be used as a marker in the follow-up of BCT-related complications.

Short-term effects of low-volume resuscitation with hypertonic saline and hydroxyethylstarch in an experimental model of lung contusion and haemorrhagic shock. Anaesth Crit Care Pain Med 2016; 37:135-140. [PMID: 27659967 DOI: 10.1016/j.accpm.2016.05.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2016] [Revised: 04/17/2016] [Accepted: 05/28/2016] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the short-term respiratory tolerance and haemodynamic efficiency of low-volume resuscitation with hypertonic saline and hydroxyethylstarch (HS/HES) in a pig model of lung contusion and controlled haemorrhagic shock. We hypothesised that a low-volume of HS/HES after haemorrhagic shock did not impact contused lungs in terms of extravascular lung water 3hours after trauma. METHODS A lung contusion resulting from blunt chest trauma was induced in 28 anaesthetised female pigs with five bolt-shots to the right thoracic cage, followed by haemorrhagic shock and fluid resuscitation. Pigs were randomly allocated into two groups: fluid resuscitation by 4ml/kg of HS/HES, or fluid resuscitation by 10ml/kg of normal saline (NS). Monitoring was based on transpulmonary thermodilution and a pulmonary artery catheter. After 3h, animals were euthanized to measure extravascular lung water (EVLW) by gravimetry. RESULTS Blunt chest trauma was followed by a transient collapse and hypoxaemia in both groups. Post-mortem gravimetric assessment demonstrated a significant difference between EVLW in the NS-group (8.1±0.7ml/kg) and in the HS/HES-group (6.2±0.6ml/kg, P=0.038). Based on a pathological EVLW threshold of > 7ml/kg, results indicated that only the NS-group experienced moderate pulmonary oedema, contrary to the HS/HES-group. After haemorrhagic shock, HS/HES infusion enabled the restoration of effective mean arterial pressure and cardiac index. Intrapulmonary shunting increased transiently after fluid resuscitation but there was no significant impairment of oxygenation. CONCLUSION In this pig model of lung contusion, the short-term assessment of fluid resuscitation after haemorrhagic shock with 4ml/kg of HS/HES showed that pulmonary oedema was avoided compared to fluid resuscitation with 10ml/kg of NS.

Abstract
Injured patients with lung contusion (LC) are at risk of developing bacterial pneumonia (PNA) followed by sepsis and death. A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) showed FER gene expression positively correlating with survival rates among individuals with above conditions. We sought to determine whether electroporation (EP)-mediated delivery of FER gene could indeed improve survival, in a lethal model of combined LC and PNA. C57BL/6 mice sustained unilateral LC, which preceded a 500 Klebsiella colony forming unit (CFU) inoculation by 6 h. In-between these insults, human FER plasmid (pFER) was introduced into the lungs followed by eight EP pulses applied externally (10 ms at 200 V cm-1). Control groups included EP of empty vector (pcDNA3) or Na+/K+-ATPase genes (pPump) and no treatment (LC+PNA). We recorded survival, histology, lung mechanics, bronchial alveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, FER and inflammatory gene expression and bacteriology. The data show that 7-day survival was significantly improved by pFER compared with control groups. pFER increased BAL monocytes and activated antibacterial response genes (nitric oxide synthase (NOS), Fizz). pFER treatment showed decreased lung and blood Klebsiella counts reaching, in some cases, complete sterilization. In conclusion, FER gene delivery promoted survival in LC+PNA mice via recruitment of activated immune cells, improving efficiency of bacterial clearance within contused lung.

Abstract
Blunt chest trauma causes pulmonary and systemic inflammation. It is still a matter of debate whether the long-term course of this inflammatory response is associated with persistent impairment of lung function. We hypothesized that an increase of inflammatory biomarkers may still be present at later time points after blunt chest trauma, eventually, despite normalized lung mechanics and gas exchange. Anesthetized spontaneously breathing male C57BL/6J mice underwent a blast wave-induced blunt chest trauma or sham procedure. Twelve and 24 h later, blood gases and lung mechanics were measured, together with blood, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and tissue cytokine concentrations (multiplex cytokine kit); heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), activated caspase-3, Bcl-xL, and Bax expression (Western blotting); nuclear factor-κB activation (electrophoretic mobility shift assay); nitrotyrosine formation; and purinergic (P2XR4 and P2XR7) receptor expression (immunohistochemistry). Histological damage was assessed by hematoxylin and eosin and periodic acid-Schiff staining. High-resolution respirometry allowed assessing mitochondrial respiration in diaphragm biopsies. Chest trauma significantly increased tissue and BAL cytokine levels, associated with a significant increase in HO-1, purinergic receptor expression, and tissue nitrotyrosine formation. In contrast, lung mechanics, gas exchange, and histological damage did not show any significant difference between sham and trauma groups. Activation of the immune response remains present at later time points after murine blunt chest trauma. Discordance of the increased local inflammatory response and preserved pulmonary function may be explained by a dissociation of the immune response and lung function, such as previously suggested after experimental sepsis.

Abstract
Background After severe blunt chest trauma, the development of an acute lung injury (ALI) is often associated with severe or even lethal complications. Especially in multiple injured patients after blunt chest trauma ALI/ARDS [acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)] is frequent. However, in the initial posttraumatic phase, inflammatory clinical signs are often not apparent and underlying changes in gene-expression profile are unknown. Methods Therefore, inflammation in lung tissue following blunt chest trauma was characterized in a well-defined bilateral lung injury model. Using DNA microarrays representing 9240 genes, the temporal sequence of blunt chest trauma-induced gene-expression patterns in lung tissue was examined. Results The results suggest an activation of a highly complex transcriptional program in response to chest trauma. Chest trauma led to elevated expression levels of inflammatory and coagulatory proteins (such as TNFα receptor, IL-1α, IL-1β, C3, NF-κB and plasminogen activator). However, upregulation of proteins was found, usually incoherent of exerting effects in blunt thoracic trauma (pendrin, resistin, metallothionein and glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper). Furthermore, significant downregulation was observed as early as 10 min after trauma for cytokines and complement factors (LCR-1, C4) as well as for intracellular signaling molecules (inhibitory protein phosphatase) and ion-channels (voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel). Conclusions Taken together, the provided global perspective of the inflammatory response following blunt chest trauma could provide a molecular framework for future research in trauma pathophysiology.

Abstract
Cardiac contusion is usually caused by blunt chest trauma and, although it is potentially a life-threatening condition, the diagnosis of a myocardial contusion is difficult because of non-specific symptoms and the lack of an ideal test to detect myocardial damage. Cardiac enzymes, such as creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase MB fraction (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTn-I), and cardiac troponin T (cTn-T) were used in previous studies to demonstrate the blunt cardiac contusion (BCC). Each of these diagnostic tests alone is not effective for diagnosis of BCC. The aim of this study was to investigate the serum heart-type fatty acid binding protein (h-FABP), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), CK, CK-MB, and cTn-I levels as a marker of BCC in blunt chest trauma in rats. The eighteen Wistar albino rats were randomly allocated to two groups; group I (control) (n=8) and group II (blunt chest trauma) (n=10). Isolated BCC was induced by the method described by Raghavendran et al. (2005). All rats were observed in their cages and blood samples were collected after five hours of trauma for the analysis of serum h-FABP, NT-pro BNP, CK, CK-MB, and cTn-I levels. The mean serum NT-pro BNP was significantly different between group I and II (10.3 ± 2.10 ng/L versus 15.4 ± 3.68 ng/L, respectively; P=0.0001). NT-pro BNP level >13 ng/ml had a sensitivity of 87.5%, a specificity of 70%, a positive predictive value of 70%, and a negative predictive value of 87.5% for predicting blunt chest trauma (area under curve was 0.794 and P=0.037). There was no significant difference between two groups in serum h-FABP, CK, CK-MB and c Tn-I levels. A relation between NT-Pro BNP and BCC was shown in this study. Serum NT-proBNP levels significantly increased with BCC after 5 hours of the blunt chest trauma. The use of NT-proBNP as an adjunct to other diagnostic tests, such as troponins, electrocardiography (ECG), chest x-ray and echocardiogram may be beneficial for diagnosis of BCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The goal of this study was to evaluate effects of exogenous sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) administration on acute lung injury induced by pulmonary contusion in rats. METHODS Eight animals were included in each of the following five groups: control, contusion, contusion phosphate-buffered solution (PBS), contusion SPC 2, contusion SPC 10. SPC was administered 3 days at a daily two different doses of 2 μm/ml and 10 μm/ml intraperitoneally. The severity of lung injury was determined by the neutrophil activation and histological and immunohistochemical changes in the lung. Malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione (GSH) were determined to evaluate the oxidative status in the lung tissue. RESULTS Treatment with 2 μM SPC inhibited the increase in lung MDA and NO levels significantly and also attenuated the depletion of SOD, GPx, and GSH in the lung injury induced by pulmonary contusion. These data were supported by histopathological findings. The inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) positive cells and apoptotic cells in the lung tissue were observed to be reduced with the 2 μM SPC treatment. But, the 10 μM SPC treatment did not provide similar effects. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, these findings suggested that 2 μM SPC can attenuate lung damage in pulmonary contusion by prevention of oxidative stress, inflammatory process and apoptosis. All these findings suggest that low dose SPC may be a promising new therapeutic agent for acute lung injury.

Surgery 2015; 157:944-53. [PMID: 25724093 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2014.12.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2014] [Revised: 12/16/2014] [Accepted: 12/24/2014] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung contusion, which can occur in patients with blunt thoracic trauma, is a leading risk factor for development of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Statins are lipid-lowering drugs with many beneficial antiinflammatory and antioxidative effects. We therefore hypothesized that the administration of statins immediately after trauma will inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators, and thereby alleviate the severity of lung injury. METHODS A model of blunt chest injury in rat was employed. The effects of statins (rosuvastatin) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors (meloxicam) on ALI were assessed by measuring inflammatory mediator levels in the serum and in the bronchoalveolar space. Animals were killed at the end of day 3. Histologic evaluation of lung tissue was performed to confirm the presence and severity of lung contusion as well as the effects of statins, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, and their combination. RESULTS Administration of meloxicam after lung contusion decreased the amount of neutrophil infiltration; however, marked hemorrhage and edema were still noticed. Administration of rosuvastatin decreased significantly cytokine levels that were increased after the blunt chest trauma. Rosuvastatin increased the expression of inducible nitric oxide (iNOS), COX-2, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2) in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the rat contused lungs. Coadministration of meloxicam prevented these changes. CONCLUSION Rosuvastatin treatment after lung contusion attenuated several features of ALI. The enhanced activity of iNOS, COX-2, and HO-1 in the lung may reflect the advent of protective processes that took place in the contused lung. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that prostaglandin pathways play an essential role in the effects of statins in lung injury.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), can result from both direct and indirect pulmonary damage caused by trauma and shock. In the course of ALI/ARDS, mediators released from resident cells, such as alveolar macrophages, may act as chemoattractants for invading cells and stimulate local cells to build up a proinflammatory micromilieu. Depending on the trauma setting, the role of alveolar macrophages is differentially defined. This review focuses on alveolar macrophage function after blunt chest trauma, ischemia/reperfusion, hemorrhagic shock, and thermal burns.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lung contusion is a major risk factor for the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α is the primary transcription factor that is responsible for regulating the cellular response to changes in oxygen tension. We set to determine if hypoxia-inducible factor-1α plays a role in the pathogenesis of acute inflammatory response and injury in lung contusion. DESIGN Nonlethal closed-chest unilateral lung contusion was induced in a hypoxia reporter mouse model and type 2 cell-specific hypoxia-inducible factor-1α conditional knockout mice. The mice were killed at 5-, 24-, 48-, and 72-hour time points, and the extent of systemic and tissue hypoxia was assessed. In addition, injury and inflammation were assessed by measuring bronchoalveolar lavage cells (flow cytometry and cytospin), albumin (permeability injury), and cytokines (inflammation). Isolated type 2 cells from the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α conditional knockout mice were isolated and evaluated for proinflammatory cytokines following lung contusion. Finally, the role of nuclear factor-κB and interleukin-1β as intermediates in this interaction was studied. RESULTS Lung contusion induced profound global hypoxia rapidly. Increased expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α from lung samples was observed as early as 60 minutes, following the insult. The extent of lung injury following lung contusion was significantly reduced in conditional knockout mice at all the time points, when compared with the wild-type littermate mice. Release of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, macrophage inflammatory protein-2, and keratinocyte chemoattractant, was significantly lower in conditional knockout mice. These actions are in part mediated through nuclear factor-κB. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in lung epithelial cells was shown to regulate interleukin-1β promoter activity. CONCLUSION Activation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in type 2 cell is a major driver of acute inflammation following lung contusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study compared three different fluid resuscitation strategies in terms of respiratory tolerance and hemodynamic efficacy in a pig model of blunt chest trauma with lung contusion and controlled hemorrhagic shock. We hypothesized that the choice of fluid resuscitation strategy (type and amount of fluids) may impact differently contused lungs in terms of extravascular lung water (EVLW) 20 h after trauma. METHODS Anesthetized female pigs (n = 5/group) received five bolt shots to the right thoracic cage and allowed to hemorrhage for 30 min, with 25 to 30 mL/kg of blood loss. Pigs were randomly assigned to resuscitation groups that maintained a minimum mean arterial blood pressure of 70 mmHg with one of three methods: normal saline (NS), unrestricted normal saline; NOREPI, low-volume normal saline with norepinephrine; or HS-HES, hypertonic saline with hydroxyethyl starch. Control pigs were anesthetized, but received no injury or treatment. After 20 h, animals were killed to measure EVLW by gravimetry. RESULTS Fluid loading was significantly different in each group. All three treatment groups had higher EVLW than controls. Moderate, bilateral pulmonary edema was observed in the NS and HS-HES groups. The three treatment groups showed similar reductions in oxygenation. Static pulmonary compliance was diminished in the NS and HS-HES groups, but compliance was similar in NOREPI and control groups. The NOREPI group had pathological lactate levels. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the impact of fluid resuscitation on contused lungs. Twenty hours after the trauma, all three resuscitation approaches showed modest clinical consequences, with moderate lung edema and reduced compliance in response to the infused volume.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung contusion (LC) is a common injury resulting from blunt thoracic trauma. LC is an important risk factor for the development acute lung injury, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and ventilator-associated pneumonia, all of which increase mortality from trauma. LC produces a nonspecific immune cellular response. Neutrophil recruitment is known to increase the severity of inflammation during LC. However, the exact role of macrophages in modulating the response to LC has not been well described. METHODS We used a cortical contusion impactor to induce unilateral LC in mice. Thoracic micro computed tomographic scans of these animals were obtained to document radiologic changes over time following LC. To understand the role of macrophages during LC, liposomal clodronate was used to deplete macrophage levels before traumatic insult. Acute inflammatory attributes after LC were assessed, by measuring pressure-volume mechanics; quantifying bronchial alveolar lavage levels of leukocytes, albumin, and cytokines; and finally examining lung specimen histopathology at 5, 24, 48, and 72 hours after injury. RESULTS After LC, alveolar macrophage numbers were significantly reduced and exhibited slowed recovery. Simultaneously, there was a significant increase in bronchial alveolar lavage neutrophil counts. The loss of macrophages could be attributed to both cellular apoptosis and necrosis. Pretreatment with clodronate increased the severity of lung inflammation as measured by worsened pulmonary compliance, increased lung permeability, amplification of neutrophil recruitment, and increases in early proinflammatory cytokine levels. CONCLUSION The presence of regulatory alveolar macrophages plays an important role in the pathogenesis of acute inflammation following LC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung contusion is an important factor that affects mortality and morbidity of lung injury after blunt chest trauma (BCT). The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different treatment regimens on BCT-induced lung injury. METHODS A total of 35 Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five experimental groups (n=7): sham, control; BCT; BCT + MP, BCT group treated with methylprednisolone (MP; 30 mg/kg on first day and 3 mg/kg/d on the following days); BCT + Q, BCT group treated with quercetin (Q; 50 mg/kg/d for seven days); and BCT + MP + Q, BCT group treated with the same doses of MP and Q. Serum Clara Cell Protein-16 (CC-16), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were analyzed to determine histopathological changes in the lung tissues. RESULTS Elevated serum CC-16 and TBARS levels and reduced serum SOD levels were found in the BCT group compared to the Sham group. There was a significant change in the serum CC-16 levels in the BCT + MP group compared to the Sham group. Serum TBARS levels were significantly lower in the BCT + MP and BCT + Q group compared to the BCT group. The combined therapy regimen yielded significantly decreased CC-16 levels and increased serum SOD levels compared to the individual treatment groups. Serum TBARS levels did not significantly differ between the BCT + MP + Q group and the other treatment groups. Compared to the BCT + MP + Q group, the BCT + MP group showed significantly lower alveolar edema (AED) and alveolar exudate (AEX) scores, while the BCT + Q group showed significantly lower peribronchial inflammatory cell infiltration (PICI) and AED scores. CONCLUSIONS The combined usage of quercetin and low dose MP treatment after initial high dose MP at the early stage of lung injury after BCT is more effective.

Abstract
Routine pulmonary ultrasound for diagnosis of disease or injury relies on interpretation of image features, such as comet-tail artifacts, which can also be indicative of the poorly understood phenomenon of ultrasound-induced pulmonary capillary hemorrhage (PCH). Evans blue extraction and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) were evaluated for assessment of PCH induced by ultrasound scanning. Rats anesthetized with ketamine with or without xylazine received sham or scanning for 5 min with a 7.6 MHz linear array. Evans blue extraction and BAL albumin measurements failed to demonstrate significant increases for scanning, even though the induction of comet-tail artifacts was significant. BAL cell counts had an insignificant increase relative to shams at a near-threshold mechanical index (MI) of 0.52 (P=0.07), but a highly significant increase at MI=0.9 (P=0.001). The possibility of xylazine-induced elevated albumin was tested, but no significant decrease was found for sham or scanned rats with ketamine-only anesthesia. Interestingly, without xylazine, the widths of comet-tail artifacts in the ultrasound images were significantly smaller (P=0.001) and cell counts in BAL fluid also were reduced (P=0.014). The BAL cell-count method provides a valuable additional means of PCH quantification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We studied whether methylene blue (MB) treatment blunts chest trauma-induced lung injury in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats, 200-300g, were used. The rats were divided into five groups (n=8): control, early contusion (EC), early contusion + methylene blue (2 mg/kg, EC+MB), late contusion (LC), and late contusion + methylene blue (2 mg/kg, LC+MB). RESULTS Histopathological analysis showed increased hemorrhage, alveolar wall thickness, edema, and inflammatory cell infiltrates in the EC and LC rats, which decreased upon MB treatment. Immunohistochemical studies revealed that MB reduced activation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and the number of active terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells. A significant increase was observed in the malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in the EC group compared to the control group (p<0.05). In addition, a significant decrease was reported in the glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels (p<0.01), but no significant difference was observed in the catalase (CAT) levels among the groups. The MDA level was significantly higher in the LC group compared to the control group, whereas the GSH level was significantly lower compared to the control group. The NO level in the EC+MB group was significantly lower when compared to the NO level in the EC group (p<0.05). CONCLUSION The present study provides evidence that MB might serve as a therapeutic treatment for blunt chest trauma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung contusion (LC) is a unique direct and focal insult that is considered a major risk factor for the initiation of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. We have shown recently that consumption of nitric oxide (due to excess superoxide) resulting in peroxynitrite formation leads to decreased vascular reactivity after LC. In this study, we set out to determine whether the superoxide scavenger Mn (III) tetrakis (4-benzoic acid) porphyrin chloride (MnTBAP) plays a protective role in alleviating acute inflammatory response and injury in LC. METHODS Nonlethal, closed-chest, bilateral LC was induced in a rodent model. Administration of the superoxide dismutase mimetic MnTBAP concurrently in LC in rats was performed, and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lung samples were analyzed for degree of injury and inflammation at 5 and 24 h after the insult. The extent of injury was assessed by the measurement of cells and albumin with cytokine levels in the BAL and lungs. Lung samples were subjected to H&E and superoxide staining with dihydro-ethidium. Protein-bound dityrosine and nitrotyrosine levels were quantified in lung tissue by tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS The degrees of lung injury after LC as determined by BAL albumin levels were significantly decreased in the MnTBAP-administered rats at all the time points when compared to the corresponding controls. The release of proinflammatory cytokines and BAL neutrophils was significantly less in the rats administered MnTBAP after LC. Administration of MnTBAP decreased tissue damage and decreased necrosis and neutrophil-rich exudate at the 24-h time point. Staining for superoxide anions showed significantly greater intensity in the lung samples from the LC group compared to the LC+ MnTBAP group. High-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry revealed that MnTBAP treatment significantly attenuated dityrosine and nitrotyrosine levels, consistent with decreased oxidant injury. CONCLUSION Superoxide dismutase mimetic-MnTBAP reduced permeability and oxidative injury in LC and may have a therapeutic role in diminishing inflammation in LC.

Abstract
Interstitial lung fibrosis can develop as a consequence of occupational or medical exposure, as a result of genetic defects, and after trauma or acute lung injury leading to fibroproliferative acute respiratory distress syndrome, or it can develop in an idiopathic manner. The pathogenesis of each form of lung fibrosis remains poorly understood. They each result in a progressive loss of lung function with increasing dyspnea, and most forms ultimately result in mortality. To better understand the pathogenesis of lung fibrotic disorders, multiple animal models have been developed. This review summarizes the common and emerging models of lung fibrosis to highlight their usefulness in understanding the cell-cell and soluble mediator interactions that drive fibrotic responses. Recent advances have allowed for the development of models to study targeted injuries of Type II alveolar epithelial cells, fibroblastic autonomous effects, and targeted genetic defects. Repetitive dosing in some models has more closely mimicked the pathology of human fibrotic lung disease. We also have a much better understanding of the fact that the aged lung has increased susceptibility to fibrosis. Each of the models reviewed in this report offers a powerful tool for studying some aspect of fibrotic lung disease.

Abstract
Our hypothesis in this study is that desferrioxamine (DFX) has therapeutic effects on experimental lung contusions in rats. The rats were divided into four groups (n = 8): control, control+DFX, contusion, and contusion+DFX. In the control+DFX and contusion+DFX groups, 100 mg/kg DFX was given intraperitoneally once a day just after the contusion and the day after the contusion. Contusions led to a meaningful rise in the malondialdehyde (MDA) level in lung tissue. MDA levels in the contusion+DFX group experienced a significant decline. Glutathione levels were significantly lower in the contusion group than in the control group and significantly higher in the contusion+DFX group. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in the contusion group were significantly lower than those in the control group. In the contusion+DFX group, SOD and GPx levels were significantly higher than those in the contusion group. In light microscopic evaluation, the contusion and contusion+DFX groups showed edema, hemorrhage, alveolar destruction, and leukocyte infiltration. However, histological scoring of the contusion+DFX group was significantly more positive than that of the contusion group. The iNOS staining in the contusion group was significantly more intensive than that in all other groups. DFX reduced iNOS staining significantly in comparison to the contusion group. This study showed that DFX reduced oxidative stress in lung contusions in rats and histopathologically ensured the recovery of the lung tissue.

Abstract
The mechanisms contributing to hypoxia in lung contusion (LC) remain unclear and not temporally associated with the peak onset of acute inflammation. We investigated the role of oxidative stress in alteration of pulmonary arterial (PA) reactivity following LC. In addition, the role of antioxidants in reversing this process was examined. PaO2 and PA reactivity were measured in rats subjected to bilateral LC. Rings were pretreated with a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, L-nitro arginine (10(-3) M), or PEG-superoxide dismutase (SOD) and PEG-catalase (CAT), or both (L-nitro arginine + SOD/CAT). Rings were constricted with norepinephrine and relaxed with an NOS agonist (A23187) or NO donor (SNAP [S-nitrosyl amino penicillamine]). Immunochemical and mass spectrometric quantification for nitrotyrosine was performed. Rats were hypoxemic at 4 h after contusion compared with controls, but recovered by 24 h (PaO(2)/FIO(2) ratio: baseline, 443 ± 28; 4 h, 288 ± 46; and 24 h, 417 ± 23). Pulmonary arterial constriction to NOS inhibition and relaxation to A23187 were impaired 4 h after LC. Pulmonary arterial relaxation to SNAP was decreased at 4 and 24 h after LC. These alterations in PA reactivity were reversed by SOD/CAT pretreatment. SOD1 and 2 mRNA were upregulated, and soluble guanylyl cyclase mRNA was downregulated 24 h after LC. Immunohistochemistry and mass spectrometry revealed that levels of 3-nitrotyrosine were increased markedly at 4 h following LC consistent with superoxide generation and formation of peroxynitrite. Collectively, these data suggest that consumption of NO due to excess superoxide resulting in peroxynitrite formation leads to diminished vascular reactivity following LC.

Abstract
We evaluate the efficacy of urinary trypsin inhibitor (UTI) on inflammation, oxidative stress, hypoxemia, and diseased lesion in a rat model of acute lung injury induced by blunt trauma. Rats were allocated to 4 groups. One group served as normal control. The other 3 groups had a moderate pulmonary contusion. Except for 1 sham group administrated saline, 1 group was administrated low-dose UTI (20,000 U/kg), and another group was administrated high-dose UTI (50,000 U/kg). Twelve hours after contusion, neutrophil counting in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was performed and tumor necrosis factor α level and albumin level in BALF was tested. Lung tissue malondialdehyde levels, superoxide dismutase, and catalase activity was investigated, and blood gas analysis and contusion volume quantification using 3-dimensional computed tomography were performed. High-dose UTI significantly decreased neutrophil count and tumor necrosis factor α level in BALF (P<0.05) and decreased albumin level in BALF but without significance. Lung tissue malondialdehyde levels was significantly reduced, whereas superoxide dismutase and catalase activity were elevated by UTI with significance (P<0.05) especially high-dose UTI. No statistical significance was seen in the change in arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) and contusion volume by UTI (P>0.05). UTI has a dose-dependent trend to ameliorate inflammatory and oxygen stress in pulmonary contusion-induced acute lung injury. However, the effect on hypoxemia and contusion lesion and the best administration regime should be investigated in future study.

Mechanical ventilation increases the inflammatory response induced by lung contusion. J Surg Res 2013; 183:377-84. [PMID: 23374757 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2012.12.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2012] [Revised: 12/10/2012] [Accepted: 12/20/2012] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Posttraumatic lung contusion is common after blunt chest trauma, and patients often need ventilatory support. Lung contusion induces an inflammatory response signified by primed polymorph neutrophil granulocytes (PMNs) in blood and tissue. Mechanical ventilation (MV) can also cause an inflammatory response. The aim of this study was to develop an animal model to investigate the effect of high-volume ventilation on the inflammatory response in blunt chest trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS We assigned 23 male Sprague-Dawley rats to either MV or bilateral lung contusion followed by MV. We used three extra rats as controls. Lung contusion was induced by a blast generator, a device releasing a single pressure blast wave centered on the chest. We determined tissue and systemic inflammation by absolute PMN numbers in blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), myeloperoxidase, interleukin (IL)-6, IL 1β, growth-related oncogene-KC, and IL-10 in both plasma and BALF. RESULTS Survival after blunt chest trauma was correlated to the distance to the blast generator. Compared with controls, both MV and blast plus MV rats showed increased systemic and pulmonary inflammation, expressed by higher PMNs, myeloperoxidase levels, and cytokine levels in both blood and BALF. Blast plus MV rats showed a higher systemic and pulmonary inflammatory response than MV rats. CONCLUSIONS The blast generator generated reproducible blunt chest trauma in rats. Mechanical ventilation after lung contusion induced a larger overall inflammatory response than MV alone, which indicates that local damage contributes not only to local inflammation, but also to systemic inflammation. This emphasizes the importance of lung protective ventilation strategies after pulmonary contusion.

Abstract
Lung contusion is an entity involving injury to the alveolar capillaries, without any tear or cut in the lung tissue. This results in accumulation of blood and other fluids within the lung tissue. The excess fluid interferes with gas exchange leading to hypoxia. The pathophysiology of lung contusion includes ventilation/perfusion mismatching, increased intrapulmonary shunting, increased lung water, segmental lung damage, and a loss of compliance. Clinically, patient's presents with hypoxiemia, hypercarbia and increase in laboured breathing. Patients are treated with supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilation whenever indicated. Treatment is primarily supportive. Computed tomography (CT) is very sensitive for diagnosing pulmonary contusion. Pulmonary contusion occurs in 25-35% of all blunt chest traumas.

Abstract
Background The goal of our study is to evaluate the effects of antioxidant vitamins (vitamin C and E), Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and dexamethasone (Dxm) in experimental rat models with pulmonary contusion (PC). Methods Rats were randomly divided into six groups. Except for the control, all subgroups had a moderate pulmonary contusion. Animals in the group I and group II received intraperitoneal saline, group III received 10mg.kg-1 CoQ10 group IV received 100mg.kg-1 vitamin C, group V received 150mg.kg-1 vitamin E, and group VI received 10mg.kg-1 Dxm. Blood gas analysis, serum nitric oxide (NO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity assays, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and histopathological examination were performed. Results Administration of CoQ10 resulted in a significant increase in PaO2 values compared with the group I (p = 0.004). Levels of plasma MDA in group II were significantly higher than those in the group I (p = 0.01). Early administration of vitamin C, CoQ10, and Dxm significantly decreased the levels of MDA (p = 0.01). Lung contusion due to blunt trauma significantly decreased SOD activities in rat lung tissue compared with group I (p = 0.01). SOD levels were significantly elevated in animals treated with CoQ10, Vitamin E, or Dxm compared with group II (p = 0.01). Conclusions In our study, CoQ10, vitamin C, vitamin E and Dxm had a protective effect on the biochemical and histopathological outcome of PC after experimental blunt thorax trauma.
