Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: The optimal management strategies for patients with polytraumatic injuries that include traumatic brain injury (TBI) are not well defined. Specific interventions including tranexamic acid (TXA), propranolol, and hypertonic saline (HTS) have each demonstrated benefits in patient mortality after TBI, but have not been applied to TBI patients with concomitant hemorrhage. The goals of our study were to determine the inflammatory effects of resuscitation strategy using HTS or shed whole blood (WB) and evaluate the cerebral and systemic inflammatory effects of adjunct treatment with TXA and propranolol after combined TBI + hemorrhagic shock. Methods: Mice underwent TBI via weight drop and were subsequently randomized into six experimental groups: three with HTS resuscitation and three with WB resuscitation. Mice were then subjected to controlled hemorrhagic shock for 1 h to a goal MAP of 25 mmHg. Mice were then treated with an i.p. dose of 4 mg/kg propranolol, 100 mg/kg TXA, or normal saline (NS) as a control. Mice were killed at 1, 6, or 24 h for serum and cerebral biomarker evaluation by multiplex ELISA and serum neuron-specific enolase, a biomarker of cerebral cellular injury. Results: Mice resuscitated with HTS had elevated serum proinflammatory cytokines compared with WB resuscitated groups at 6 and 24 h after injury, with no significant difference in cerebral cytokine levels. Within the TBI/shock + HTS groups, the addition of propranolol or TXA did not significantly alter serum cytokine concentration, but cerebral IL-2, IL-12, and macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) decreased after propranolol administration. In the TBI/shock + WB cohorts, the addition of both propranolol and TXA increased systemic proinflammatory cytokine levels at 6 and 24 h after injury as demonstrated by serum IL-2, IL-12, MIP-1α, and IL-1β compared with NS control. By contrast, TBI/shock + WB mice demonstrated a significant reduction in cerebral IL-2, IL-12, and MIP-1α in propranolol treated mice 6 h after injury compared with NS group. While serum neuron-specific enolase was significantly increased 1 and 24 h after injury in TBI/shock + HTS + TXA cohorts compared with NS control, it was significantly reduced in the TBI/shock + WB + propranolol mice compared with NS control 24 h after injury. Conclusions: Whole blood resuscitation can reduce the acute postinjury neuroinflammatory response after combined TBI/shock compared with HTS. The addition of either propranolol or TXA may modulate the postinjury systemic and cerebral inflammatory response with more improvements noted after propranolol administration. Multimodal treatment with resuscitation and pharmacologic therapy after TBI and hemorrhagic shock may mitigate the inflammatory response to these injuries to improve recovery.

Hypotheses about sub-optimal hydration in the weeks before coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as a risk factor for dying from COVID-19. Med Hypotheses 2020; 144:110237. [PMID: 33254543 PMCID: PMC7467030 DOI: 10.1016/j.mehy.2020.110237] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2020] [Revised: 08/20/2020] [Accepted: 08/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
To address urgent need for strategies to limit mortality from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), this review describes experimental, clinical and epidemiological evidence that suggests that chronic sub-optimal hydration in the weeks before infection might increase risk of COVID-19 mortality in multiple ways. Sub-optimal hydration is associated with key risk factors for COVID-19 mortality, including older age, male sex, race-ethnicity and chronic disease. Chronic hypertonicity, total body water deficit and/or hypovolemia cause multiple intracellular and/or physiologic adaptations that preferentially retain body water and favor positive total body water balance when challenged by infection. Via effects on serum/glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) signaling, aldosterone, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), aquaporin 5 (AQP5) and/or Na+/K+-ATPase, chronic sub-optimal hydration in the weeks before exposure to COVID-19 may conceivably result in: greater abundance of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors in the lung, which increases likelihood of COVID-19 infection, lung epithelial cells which are pre-set for exaggerated immune response, increased capacity for capillary leakage of fluid into the airway space, and/or reduced capacity for both passive and active transport of fluid out of the airways. The hypothesized hydration effects suggest hypotheses regarding strategies for COVID-19 risk reduction, such as public health recommendations to increase intake of drinking water, hydration screening alongside COVID-19 testing, and treatment tailored to the pre-infection hydration condition. Hydration may link risk factors and pathways in a unified mechanism for COVID-19 mortality. Attention to hydration holds potential to reduce COVID-19 mortality and disparities via at least 5 pathways simultaneously.

Abstract
Hypertonic saline (HS) resuscitation has been studied as a possible strategy to reduce polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) activation and tissue damage in trauma patients. Hypertonic saline blocks PMNs by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release and stimulation of A2a adenosine receptors. Here, we studied the underlying mechanisms in search of possible reasons for the inconsistent results of recent clinical trials with HS resuscitation. Purified human PMNs or PMNs in whole blood were treated with HS to simulate hypertonicity levels found after HS resuscitation (40 mmol/L beyond isotonic levels). Adenosine triphosphate release was measured with a luciferase assay. Polymorphonuclear neutrophil activation was assessed by measuring oxidative burst. The pannexin-1 (panx1) inhibitor panx1 and the gap junction inhibitor carbenoxolone (CBX) blocked ATP release from PMNs in purified and whole blood preparations, indicating that HS releases ATP via panx1 and gap junction channels. Hypertonic saline blocked N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-induced PMN activation by 40% in purified PMN preparations and by 60% in whole blood. These inhibitory effects were abolished by panx1 but only partially reduced by CBX, which indicates that panx1 has a central role in the immunomodulatory effects of HS. Inhibition of the ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73 abolished the suppressive effect of HS on purified PMN cultures but only partially reduced the effect of HS in whole blood. These findings suggest redundant mechanisms in whole blood that may strengthen the immunomodulatory effect of HS in vivo. We conclude that HS resuscitation exerts anti-inflammatory effects that involve panx1, CD39, CD73, and other ectonucleotidases, which produce the adenosine that blocks PMNs by stimulating their A2a receptors. Our findings shed new light on the immunomodulatory mechanisms of HS and suggest possible new strategies to improve the clinical efficacy of hypertonic resuscitation.

Abstract
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and nosocomial infection following trauma-hemorrhage are among the most important causes of mortality in hemorrhagic shock patients. Dysregulation of the immune system plays a central role in MODS and a fluid having an immunomodulatory effect could be advantageous in hemorrhagic shock resuscitation. Hypertonic saline (HS) is widely used as a resuscitation fluid in trauma-hemorrhagic patients. Besides having beneficial effects on the hemodynamic parameters, HS has modulatory effects on various functions of immune cells such as degranulation, adhesion molecules and cytokines expression, as well as reactive oxygen species production. This article reviews clinical evidence for decreased organ failure and mortality in hemorrhagic shock patients resuscitated with HS. Despite promising results in animal models, results from pre-hospital and emergency department administration in human studies did not show improvement in survival, organ failure, or a reduction in nosocomial infection by HS resuscitation. Further post hoc analysis showed some benefit from HS resuscitation for severely-injured patients, those who received more than ten units of blood by transfusion, patients who underwent surgery, and victims of traumatic brain injury. Several reasons are suggested to explain the differences between clinical and animal models.

Abstract
Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOC) and hypertonic saline solutions (HSS) are used for resuscitation of trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock. In this review, the clinical application, dosing, administration, and side effects of these solutions are discussed. Although HBOC and HSS are not ideal resuscitation fluids, until rapidly thawed universal donor frozen blood and blood component therapy becomes widely available in North America, these fluids should to be considered immediately after injury and throughout the spectrum of care for patients with hemorrhagic shock, until blood and blood components become available.

Abstract
Excessive NaCl intake is associated with a variety of fibrosing diseases such as renal and cardiac fibrosis. This association has been attributed to increased blood pressure as the result of high NaCl intake. However, studies in patients with high NaCl intake and fibrosis reveal a connection between NaCl intake and fibrosis that is independent of blood pressure. We find that increasing the extracellular concentration of NaCl to levels that may occur in human blood after high-salt intake can potentiate, in serum-free culture conditions, the differentiation of freshly-isolated human monocytes into fibroblast-like cells called fibrocytes. NaCl affects the monocytes directly during their adhesion. Potassium chloride and sodium nitrate also potentiate fibrocyte differentiation. The plasma protein Serum Amyloid P (SAP) inhibits fibrocyte differentiation. High levels of extracellular NaCl change the SAP Hill coefficient from 1.7 to 0.8, and cause a four-fold increase in the concentration of SAP needed to inhibit fibrocyte differentiation by 95%. Together, our data suggest that NaCl potentiates fibrocyte differentiation. NaCl-increased fibrocyte differentiation may thus contribute to NaCl-increased renal and cardiac fibrosis.

Abstract
Objective This study was designed to investigate the effect of hypertonic fluid administration on inflammatory mediator gene expression in patients with septic shock. Design and setting Prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical study in a 15-bed mixed intensive care unit in a tertiary referral teaching hospital. Interventions Twenty-four patients, who met standard criteria for septic shock, were randomized to receive a bolus of hypertonic fluid (HT, 250 ml 6% HES/7.2% NaCl) or isotonic fluid (IT, 500 ml 6% HES/0.9% NaCl) administered over 15 minutes. Randomization and study fluid administration was within 24 hours of ICU admission for all patients. This trial is registered with ANZCTR.org.au as ACTRN12607000259448. Results Blood samples were taken immediately before and 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after fluid administration. Real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT rtPCR) was used to quantify mRNA expression of different inflammatory mediators in peripheral leukocytes. In the HT group, compared with the IT group, levels of gene expression of MMP9 and L-selectin were significantly suppressed (p = 0.0002 and p = 0.007, respectively), and CD11b gene expression tended to be elevated (p = NS). No differences were found in the other mediators examined. Conclusions In septic shock patients, hypertonic fluid administration compared with isotonic fluid may modulate expression of genes that are implicated in leukocyte-endothelial interaction and capillary leakage. The study was performed at the Intensive Care Department, Waikato Hospital, and at the Molecular Genetics Laboratory, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand.

Abstract
The question of specific immunomodulating qualities of hypertonic saline (HTS) has not been settled. It has proven difficult to distinguish between immunomodulation directly attributable to HTS and influence because of favorable circulatory effects. The nature of immune activator may also play a role. In a whole-blood model, we have investigated these relations further, with special emphasize on osmolalities usually found after recommended dosing. Blood from 10 healthy donors was exposed to osmolalities ranging from 295 to 480 mOsm/kg and stimulated with the two clinically relevant stimulators peptidoglycan (1 µg/mL) or LPS (10 ng/mL) for 6 h at 37°C. Leukocyte response was evaluated by measuring selected cytokines in the supernatant. Moderate hyperosmolality alone boosted the release of CXCL8/IL-8. The peptidoglycan-stimulated synthesis of pivotal proinflammatory cytokines was inhibited in an osmolality-dependent way, but statistically significant only at osmolalities above those attained after routine use of HTS, i.e., 310 mOsm/kg or greater: IL-6 (P < 0.05 at 315 mOsm/kg), IL-1ß, and TNF-α (P < 0.05 at 335 mOsm/kg). Similar effects were seen for the chemokine CCL3 and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. In contrast, the effects in cells stimulated with LPS were either lower or absent. Thus, osmolalities usually found after clinical use of HTS only modestly influenced the selected immune parameters, regardless of stimulator.

Abstract
Object
Spinal cord injury (SCI) continues to be a problem without a definitive cure. Research based on improved understanding of the immunological aspects of SCI has revealed targets for treating and ameliorating the extent of secondary injury. Hypertonic saline (HTS), a substance both easy to create and to transport, has been investigated as an immunologically active material that can be used in a clinically relevant interval after injury. In this pilot study, HTS was investigated in a murine model for its abilities to ameliorate secondary injury after a severe spinal cord contusion.
Methods
Female C57Bl/6 mice with severe T8–10 contusion injuries were used as the model subjects. A group of 41 mice were studied in a blinded fashion. Mice received treatments with HTS (HTS, 7.5%) or normal saline solution (NSS, 0.9%) at 2 discreet time points (3 and 24 hours after injury.) A separate group of 9 untreated animals were also used as controls. Animals were assessed for autonomic outcome (bladder function). In a group of 33 mice, histological assessment (cellular infiltration) was also measured.
Results
Bladder function was found to be improved significantly in those treated with HTS compared with those who received NSS and also at later treatment times (24 hours) than at earlier treatment times (3 hours). Decreased cellular infiltration in each group correlated with bladder recovery.
Conclusions
The increased effectiveness of later administration time of the more osmotically active and immunomodulatory substance (HTS) suggests that interaction with events occurring around 24 hours after injury is critical. These events may be related to the invasion of leukocytes peaking at 8–24 hours postinjury and/or the peak benefit time of subject rehydration.

Abstract
Minimally invasive functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRs) technology was utilized to assess the effects of mannitol and hypertonic saline (HS) in treating traumatic brain edema (TBE). Rats with TBE models were given mannitol or HS in different dosages for different groups. The reduced scattering coefficient (μ(s)') of the local cortex of rats was simultaneously monitored and recorded in vivo and real time by the minimally invasive fNIRs system. Brain water content (BWC) was measured by the wet and dry weight method at 1, 6, 24, 72, and 120 h after injury and treatment. Effects of treating TBE with different dehydration agents were then assessed by recording μ(s)' and BWC before and after administration of dehydration. In this study, the dynamic changes of brain edema and the effects of dehydration therapy were continuously monitored. Results implied that μ(s)' of the local cortex in rats is a good indicator for assessing effects of treatment of TBE. By recording changes in the value of μ(s)', the following conclusions were obtained: HS is more effective than mannitol in reducing cerebral edema. The effect of dehydration of HS is only related to osmotic gradient and has no correlation with concentration.

Abstract
Tonicity responsive binding protein (TonEBP) is a transcription factor that plays a key role in osmoprotection. Here, we demonstrate enhanced activity of prosurvival NF-κB—at the onset of hypertonic challenge that depends on p38 kinase—and Akt-dependent formation of p65-TonEBP complexes that bind to elements of NF-κB-responsive genes. Tonicity-responsive binding-protein (TonEBP or NFAT5) is a widely expressed transcription factor whose activity is regulated by extracellular tonicity. TonEBP plays a key role in osmoprotection by binding to osmotic response element/TonE elements of genes that counteract the deleterious effects of cell shrinkage. Here, we show that in addition to this “classical” stimulation, TonEBP protects cells against hypertonicity by enhancing nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity. We show that hypertonicity enhances NF-κB stimulation by lipopolysaccharide but not tumor necrosis factor-α, and we demonstrate overlapping protein kinase B (Akt)-dependent signal transduction pathways elicited by hypertonicity and transforming growth factor-α. Activation of p38 kinase by hypertonicity and downstream activation of Akt play key roles in TonEBP activity, IκBα degradation, and p65 nuclear translocation. TonEBP affects neither of these latter events and is itself insensitive to NF-κB signaling. Rather, we reveal a tonicity-dependent interaction between TonEBP and p65 and show that NF-κB activity is considerably enhanced after binding of NF-κB-TonEBP complexes to κB elements of NF-κB–responsive genes. We demonstrate the key roles of TonEBP and Akt in renal collecting duct epithelial cells and in macrophages. These findings reveal a novel role for TonEBP and Akt in NF-κB activation on the onset of hypertonic challenge.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review is to address and summarize some key issues and recent insights into the hemodynamic support of the trauma patient related to fluid administration. RECENT FINDINGS Colloids are not superior to crystalloids in treating hypovolemia in the trauma patient and show no survival benefit. Furthermore, several adverse effects (renal failure, bleeding complications and anaphylaxis) have been reported with the use of artificial colloids. Hypertonic saline is effective and well tolerated in the treatment of hypovolemic shock and traumatic brain injury. Potential benefits are reduced fluid requirements and immune modulation. Resuscitation strategies should depend on the type of injury (penetrating vs. blunt; concomitant brain injury). Excessive fluid resuscitation, which can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome, abdominal compartment syndrome and brain edema, should be avoided. Dynamic parameters to guide volume therapy are probably more reliable than static parameters and minimally invasive techniques to monitor the microcirculation are becoming more important to determine the endpoints of resuscitation. SUMMARY Hemodynamic support is an early goal in the treatment of the trauma patient. The use of crystalloids is currently recommended in trauma resuscitation. The amount of fluid we give should be tailored to the individual trauma patient in which clear endpoints of resuscitation are of vital importance to maximize the chances of survival.

Abstract
Background To assess, whether arterial blood gas measurements during trauma patient's pre-hospital shock resuscitation yield useful information on haemodynamic response to fluid resuscitation by comparing haemodynamic and blood gas variables in patients undergoing two different fluid resuscitation regimens. Methods In a prospective randomised study of 37 trauma patients at risk for severe hypovolaemia, arterial blood gas values were analyzed at the accident site and on admission to hospital. Patients were randomised to receive either conventional fluid therapy or 300 ml of hypertonic saline. The groups were compared for demographic, injury severity, physiological and outcome variables. Results 37 patients were included. Mean (SD) Revised Trauma Score (RTS) was 7.3427 (0.98) and Injury Severity Score (ISS) 15.1 (11.7). Seventeen (46%) patients received hypertonic fluid resuscitation and 20 (54%) received conventional fluid therapy, with no significant differences between the groups concerning demographic data or outcome. Base excess (BE) values decreased significantly more within the hypertonic saline (HS) group compared to the conventional fluid therapy group (mean BE difference -2.1 mmol/l vs. -0.5 mmol/l, p = 0.003). The pH values on admission were significantly lower within the HS group (mean 7.31 vs. 7.40, p = 0.000). Haemoglobin levels were in both groups lower on admission compared with accident site. Lactate levels on admission did not differ significantly between the groups. Conclusion Pre-hospital use of small-volume resuscitation led to significantly greater decrease of BE and pH values. A portable blood gas analyzer was found to be a useful tool in pre-hospital monitoring for trauma resuscitation.

BACKGROUND Because platelet CD40 ligand (CD40L) expression plays an important role in inflammatory conditions, reduction of CD40L expression may be beneficial for patients with sepsis. Although hypertonic saline, mannitol, and hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions have been shown to modulate inflammatory responses, their effects on platelet CD40L expression are unclear. We assessed the effects of hypertonic saline, mannitol, and HES solutions on platelet CD40L expression. METHODS Platelet-rich plasma samples were obtained from septic patients and diluted to 1%, 2.5%, 5%, or 7.5% (vol/vol) with 7.5% saline, 3% saline, 0.9% saline, 20% mannitol, 10% HES (200/0.5), or Ringer's solution. Twenty-five samples were used per dilution. To determine platelet CD40L expression, platelet samples were stimulated with thrombin (0.1 U/mL), incubated with fluorochrome-conjugated platelet antibodies, and analyzed using flow cytometry. RESULTS Preconditioning of platelet-rich plasma with hypertonic saline, mannitol, and HES attenuated CD40L expression at dilution ratios of 5%, 1%, and 1%, respectively. The decreases were concentration dependent. The effects of mannitol and HES on CD40L expression were almost identical and were superior to those of 3% saline. In contrast, 0.9% saline and Ringer's solution had no effect on CD40L expression. CONCLUSIONS Our data show that resuscitation fluids, such as hypertonic saline, mannitol, and HES, inhibit agonist-induced CD40L expression on platelets. These resuscitation fluids may have an anti-inflammatory action when administered to septic patients.

Abstract
During the brain's innate immune response microglia, astroglia and ependymal cells resolve/repair damaged tissue and control infection. Released interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) reaching cerebroventricles stimulates circumventricular organs (CVOs; subfornical organ, SFO; organum vasculosum lamina terminalis, OVLT), the median preoptic nucleus (MePO), and magnocellular and parvocellular neurons in the supraoptic (SON) and paraventricular (PVN) nuclei. Hypertonic saline (HS) also activates these osmosensory CVOs and neuroendocrine systems, but, in contrast to IL-1beta, inhibits the peripheral immune response. To examine whether the brain's innate immune response is attenuated by osmotic stimulation, sterile acidic perfusion fluid was microdialyzed (2 microl/min) in the SON area of conscious rats for 6 h with sterile HS (1.5 M NaCl) injected subcutaneously (15 ml/kg) at 5 h. Immunohistochemistry identified cytokine sources (IL-1beta(+); OX-42(+) microglia) and targets (IL-1R(+); inducible cyclooxygenase, COX-2(+); c-Fos(+)) near the probe, in CVOs, MePO, ependymal cells, periventricular hypothalamus, SON, and PVN. Inserting the probe stimulated magnocellular neurons (c-Fos(+); SON; PVN) via the MePO (c-Fos(+)), a response enhanced by HS. Microdialysis activated microglia (OX-42(+); amoeboid/hypertrophied; IL-1beta(+)) in the adjacent SON and bilaterally in perivascular areas of the PVN, periventricular hypothalamus and ependyma, coincident with c-Fos expression in ependymal cells and COX-2 in the vasculature. These microglial responses were attenuated by HS, coincident with activating parvocellular and magnocellular neuroendocrine systems and elevating circulating IL-1beta, oxytocin, and vasopressin. Acidosis-induced cellular injury from microdialysis activated the brain's innate immune response by a mechanism inhibited by peripheral osmotic stimulation.

Abstract
In treatment of hemorrhagic shock, small-volume infusion of 7.5% NaCl gives immediate hemodynamic improvement, but in vitro experiments suggest it depresses the hemostatic system. Since previous reports showed that hyperosmotic glycine solutions preserved the platelet function better than hyperosmotic NaCl solutions, we investigated whether glycine changes the intracellular calcium ([Ca]i) signal. Platelets were incubated in hyperosmotic solutions containing sodium glycine or glycine base and stimulated with 0.1 IU/ml thrombin. [Ca]i increases were compared with an isosmotic control. Platelets incubated in zero calcium/EGTA were used to study separately the effect of glycine on calcium mobilization from intracellular stores and extracellular calcium entry. When NaCl was replaced by sodium glycine, the [Ca]i increase produced by thrombin was enhanced, because the calcium entry increased without changes in the mobilization of stored calcium. The addition of 50 mmol/l glycine base to the HEPES-buffered media increases the thrombin-induced entry of calcium or manganese. This study demonstrates that hyperosmotic glycine solutions increase the entry of calcium. This effect contrasts with the impairment of the thrombin-induced calcium signals by NaCl. The addition of low amounts of glycine in resuscitation solutions would be useful to reduce dysfunctional inflammatory responses without the risk of bleeding; however, concentrated solutions could cause toxic effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of resuscitation with hypertonic saline/dextran (HSD) on the innate immune response after injury. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Hypovolemic shock causes a whole body ischemia/reperfusion injury, leading to dysregulation of the inflammatory response and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Hypertonicity has been shown to modulate the innate immune response in vitro and in animal models of hemorrhagic shock, but the effect on the inflammatory response in humans is largely unknown. METHODS Serial blood samples were drawn (12, 24, 72 hours and 7 days after injury) from patients enrolled in a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial of traumatic hypovolemic shock, HSD (250 mL) versus lactated Ringer's solution (LR) as the initial resuscitation fluid. Neutrophil (PMN) CD11b/CD18 expression was assessed via whole blood FACS analysis with and without stimulation (fMLP 5 micromol/L or PMA 5 micromol/L). PMN respiratory burst was assessed using the nitro-blue tetrazolium assay. Monocytes stimulated with 100 ng LPS for 18 hours were assessed for cytokine production (TNF-alpha, IL-1Beta, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12). RESULTS Sixty-two patients (36 HSD, 26 LR) and 20 healthy volunteers were enrolled. CD11b expression, 12 hours after injury, was increased 1.5-fold in patients resuscitated with LR compared with controls. Those resuscitated with HSD had a significant reduction in CD11b expression 12 hours after injury, compared with LR. There was no difference in respiratory burst early after injury. Monocytes from injured patients expressed lower levels of all cytokines in comparison to normal controls. Patients give HSD showed a trend toward higher levels of IL-1beta and IL10 production in response to LPS, 12 hours after injury. CONCLUSION HSD resuscitation results in transient inhibition of PMN CD11b expression and partial restoration of the normal monocyte phenotype early after injury.

Abstract
Hypertonic saline solution (HS solution, NaCl 7.5%) has shown to restore hemodynamic parameters in hemorrhagic shock and to decrease the inflammation triggered by ischemia-reperfusion injury (I-R). Therefore, our objective was to investigate the effects of HS solution on the mechanisms involved in I-R, in an experimental model of controlled hemorrhagic shock. Wistar rats (280-350 g) were submitted to controlled bleeding, keeping the mean arterial pressure around 40 mmHg, for 1 h. After that, rats were randomized and treated with HS solution (4 mL/kg) or normal saline (34 mL/kg). There were no differences in hemodynamic parameters between both groups for at least 2 h after shock. No difference either was observed in reactive oxygen species generation (measured indirectly by malondialdehyde concentration) or cytokines (interleukins 6 and 10) production (measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Quantitative analysis of lung tissue showed a smaller neutrophil infiltration in animals that received HS solution. Moreover, the animals in the HS group showed an increased expression of heat shock protein 70. Therefore, we concluded that treatment of hemorrhagic shock with HS solution can decrease pulmonary inflammation and increase cellular protection by up-regulating heat shock protein 70 expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential and early effect of hypertonic saline resuscitation on T-lymphocyte subpopulations in rats with hemorrhagic shock. METHODS A model of rat with severe hemorrhagic shock was established in 18 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The rats were randomly divided into Sham group, HTS group (hypertonic saline resuscitation group) and NS group (normal saline resuscitation group). Each group contained 6 rats. The CD4(+) and CD8(+) subpopulations of T-lymphocytes in peripheral blood were detected respectively before shock and after resuscitation by double antibody labelling and flow cytometry. RESULTS In the early stage after hemorrhagic shock, fluid resuscitation and emergency treatment, the CD4(+) lymphocytes of peripheral blood in HTS and NS groups markedly increased. Small volume resuscitation with HTS also induced peripheral CD8(+) lymphocytes to a certain extent, whereas NS resuscitation showed no effect in this respect. Consequently, compared with Sham and HTS groups, CD4(+)/CD8(+) ratio of peripheral blood in NS group was obviously increased, and showed statistically differences. CONCLUSION In this model of rat with severe hemorrhagic shock, small volume resuscitation with HTS is more effective than NS in reducing immunologic disorders and promoting a more balanced profile of T-lymphocyte subpopulations regulating network.

Abstract
Despite decades of studies and experiences, an evidence-based medicine consensus on the more appropriate treatment of trauma patients in the out-of-hospital setting has not yet been achieved. Different approaches exist and no one has been demonstrated clearly superior over the others for all circumstances and for all patients. A number of factors likely account for this finding.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The beneficial effect of hypertonic saline solutions in the emergency treatment of shock and traumatic brain injury is well described. The present study determines effects of a single bolus of hypertonic saline on long-term survival, neurologic function, and neuronal survival 10 days after global cerebral ischemia. In addition, we evaluated the therapeutic window for hypertonic saline treatment (early vs. delayed application). DESIGN Laboratory experiment. SETTING University laboratory. SUBJECTS Male Wistar rats weighing 240-330 g. INTERVENTIONS Rats were submitted to temporal global cerebral ischemia using temporary bilateral carotid occlusion combined with hypobaric hypotension. Animals received 7.5% saline/6% hydroxyethyl starch (HHS) or vehicle (NaCl 0.9%) at either 1.5 mins (early treatment) or 31.5 mins (delayed treatment) of reperfusion. Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and physiologic variables were measured during insult and early reperfusion. Animal survival and neurologic function were evaluated throughout the 10-day observation period. Quantification of brain injury was performed on day 10. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Early treatment with HHS resulted in a robust restoration of rCBF after ischemia, reduced postischemic mortality by 77% (9% vs. 39% in vehicle-treated controls), ameliorated neurologic performance (Neuro-Deficit-Score 10 days after insult, 96 +/- 0.7 vs. 85 +/- 1.4, mean +/- se), and almost blunted neuronal cell death (hippocampal CA1, 2150 +/- 191 vs. 884 +/- 141 neurons/mm; cortex, 1746 +/- 91 vs. 1060 +/- 112). In contrast, delayed treatment resulted in no sustained effects. CONCLUSIONS Timing of HHS treatment is critical after experimental global cerebral ischemia to reduce mortality, improve neurologic function, and neuronal survival. Our results suggest that early application of HHS may be a potential neuroprotective strategy after global cerebral ischemia.

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

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Severe acute pancreatitis (AP) is characterized by hemodynamic alterations and a systemic inflammatory response, leading to a high mortality rate. Treatment of hemorrhagic shock with hypertonic saline solutions significantly reduces mortality through an improvement in the hemodynamic conditions and possibly by an anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, hypertonic solutions could be effective in AP. METHODS Wistar rats were divided in 4 groups: group C, control, without AP; group NT, AP, without treatment; group NS, treatment with normal saline solution (NaCl 0.9%) 1 hour after AP; group HTS, treatment with hypertonic saline solution (NaCl 7.5%) 1 hour after AP. AP was induced by injection of 2.5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate were recorded at 0 and 2, 4, 24, and 48 hours after AP. After induction of AP, animals were killed at 2, 12, 24, and 48 hours for serum amylase, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10 analysis, pancreatic tissue culture and histologic analysis, oxidation and phosphorylation of liver mitochondria, pulmonary myeloperoxidase activity (MPO), and mortality study. RESULTS In animals of groups NS and NT, a significant decrease of MAP was observed 48 hours after AP (NS: 91 +/- 3 mm Hg; NT: 89 +/- 3 mm Hg) compared with baseline (C: 105 +/- 2 mm Hg) and to HTS group (HTS: 102 +/- 2 mm Hg; P < 0.05). In animals of group NT, NS, and HTS, serum IL-6 and IL-10 levels were significantly higher at 2 hours after AP compared with the control group. However, IL-6 levels at 12 hours after AP and IL-10 levels at 2 and 12 hours after AP were significant lower in group HTS compared with NS and NT groups (P < 0.05). In group HTS, a decrease of pulmonary MPO activity and of pancreatic infection was observed 24 hours after AP compared with NT and NS groups (P < 0.05). A significant reduction on pancreatic acinar necrosis and mitochondrial dysfunction was observed after 48 hours of AP in animals of group HTS compared with groups NT and NS (P < 0.05). A significant reduction on mortality was observed in HTS (0/14) compared with NS (6/17; 35%) and NT (7/20; 35%). CONCLUSIONS The administration of hypertonic saline solution in experimental AP attenuated hemodynamic alterations, decreased inflammatory cytokines, diminished systemic lesions and pancreatic acinar necrosis, prevented pancreatic infection, and reduced the mortality rate.

Abstract
Small volume hypertonic resuscitation is a relatively new conceptual approach to shock therapy. It was originally based on the idea that a relatively large blood volume expansion could be obtained by administering a relatively small volume of fluid, taking advantage of osmosis. It was soon realized that the physiological vasodilator property of hypertonicity was a useful byproduct of small volume resuscitation in that it induced reperfusion of previously ischemic territories, even though such an effect encroached upon the malefic effects of the ischemia-reperfusion process. Subsequent research disclosed a number of previously unsuspected properties of hypertonic resuscitation, amongst them the correction of endothelial and red cell edema with significant consequences in terms of capillary blood flow. A whole set of actions of hypertonicity upon the immune system are being gradually uncovered, but the full implication of these observations with regard to the clinical scenario are still under study. Small volume resuscitation for shock is in current clinical use in some parts of the world, in spite of objections raised concerning its safety under conditions of uncontrolled bleeding. These objections stem mainly from experimental studies, but there are few signs that they may be of real clinical significance. This review attempts to cover the earlier and the more recent developments in this field.
