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

Abstract
Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activation is widely implicated in multiple organ failure (MOF); however, a direct inhibitor of IκB kinase (IKK), which plays a pivotal role in the activation of NF-κB, has not been investigated in shock. Thus, the aim of the present work was to investigate the effects of an IKK inhibitor on the MOF associated with hemorrhagic shock (HS). Therefore, rats were subjected to HS and were resuscitated with the shed blood. Rats were treated with the inhibitor of IKK or vehicle at resuscitation. Four hours later, blood and organs were assessed for organ injury and signaling events involved in the activation of NF-κB. Additionally, survival following serum deprivation was assessed in HK-2 cells treated with the inhibitor of IKK. HS resulted in renal dysfunction, lung, liver and muscular injury, and increases in serum inflammatory cytokines. Kidney and liver tissue from HS rats revealed increases in phosphorylation of IKKαβ and IκBα, nuclear translocation of NF-κB and expression of inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). IKK16 treatment upon resuscitation attenuated NF-κB activation and activated the Akt survival pathway, leading to a significant attenuation of all of the above parameters. Furthermore, IKK16 exhibited cytoprotective effects in human kidney cells. In conclusion, the inhibitor of IKK complex attenuated the MOF associated with HS. This effect may be due to the inhibition of the NF-κB pathway and activation of the survival kinase Akt. Thus, the inhibition of the IKK complex might be an effective strategy for the prevention of MOF associated with HS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ethyl alcohol is a substance that is widely used worldwide and known to exert toxic effects on liver. In this study, we aimed to examine the effect of L-ornithine L-aspartate (LOLA) on the toxicity of a single dose of ethyl alcohol in rats. SUBJECTS AND METHOD We used 32 randomly selected male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-250 g. The rats were grouped into four groups with each group containing eight rats: Group 1: the control group, Group 2: the ethyl alcohol group, Group 3: the LOLA group and Group 4: the ethyl alcohol+LOLA group. Ethyl alcohol was administered orally through a nasogastric tube at a dose of 6 g/kg after diluting with distilled water. One hour after ethyl alcohol administration, LOLA was administered to pre-specified groups orally through a nasogastric tube at a dose of 200 mg/kg after diluting with distilled water. Liver tissue and blood samples were obtained from all rats 24 hours later to study total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels in liver samples, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transferase (ALT), TAC, TOS and OSI levels in blood samples. RESULTS Serum TAC, TOS and OSI levels were higher in the groups that were administered ethyl alcohol. In addition, tissue TAC level was higher and TOS and OSI levels were lower in groups that were given ethyl alcohol. No significant changes were observed in serum and tissue TAC, TOS, OSI, ALT and AST levels in the LOLA administered groups. CONCLUSION This study showed that LOLA was not biochemically effective and exerts no oxidative stress reducing activity in liver injury due to acute ethyl alcohol toxicity.

Abstract
Introduction It is well established that obesity-related hormones can have modulatory effects associated with the immune response. Ghrelin, a hormone mainly derived from endocrine cells of the gastric mucosa, regulates appetite, energy expenditure and body weight counteracting leptin, a hormone mainly derived from adipocytes. Additionally, receptors of both have been detected on immune cells and demonstrated an immune regulatory function during sepsis. Methods In the present study, the effect of peripheral ghrelin administration on early immune response and survival was investigated with lean mice and mice with diet-induced obesity using cecal ligation and puncture to induce sepsis. Results In the obese group, we found that ghrelin treatment improved survival, ameliorated hypothermia, and increased hyperleptinemia as compared to the lean controls. We also observed that ghrelin treatment divergently regulated serum IL-1ß and TNF-α concentrations in both lean and obese septic mice. Ghrelin treatment initially decreased but later resulted in increased bacteriaemia in lean mice while having no impact upon obese mice. Similarly, ghrelin treatment increased early neutrophil oxidative burst while causing a decrease 48 hours after sepsis inducement. Conclusion In conclusion, as the immune response to sepsis temporally changes, ghrelin treatment differentially mediates this response. Specifically, we observed that ghrelin conferred protective effects during the early phase of sepsis, but during the later phase deteriorated immune response and outcome. These adverse effects were more pronounced upon lean mice as compared to obese mice.

PLoS One 2015; 10:e0122096. [PMID: 25830444 PMCID: PMC4382161 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0122096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2014] [Accepted: 02/17/2015] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Methods Male rats were ‘pretreated’ with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; i.p.) or LPS (1 mg/kg; i.p.) 24 h prior to HS. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was maintained at 30 ± 2 mmHg for 90 min or until 25% of the shed blood had to be re-injected to sustain MAP. This was followed by resuscitation with the remaining shed blood. Four hours after resuscitation, parameters of organ dysfunction and systemic inflammation were assessed. Results HS resulted in renal dysfunction, and liver and muscular injury. At a first glance, LPS preconditioning attenuated organ dysfunction. However, we discovered that HS-rats that had been preconditioned with LPS (a) were not able to sustain a MAP at 30 mmHg for more than 50 min and (b) the volume of blood withdrawn in these animals was significantly less than in the PBS-control group. This effect was associated with an enhanced formation of the nitric oxide (NO) derived from inducible NO synthase (iNOS). Thus, a further control group in which all animals were resuscitated after 50 min of hemorrhage was performed. Then, LPS preconditioning aggravated both circulatory failure and organ dysfunction. Most notably, HS-rats pretreated with LPS exhibited a dramatic increase in NF-κB activation and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Conclusion In conclusion, LPS preconditioning predisposed animals to an earlier vascular decompensation, which may be mediated by an excess of NO production secondary to induction of iNOS and activation of NF-κB. Moreover, LPS preconditioning increased the formation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which is likely to have contributed to the observed aggravation of organ injury/dysfunction caused by HS.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock (HS) following acute alcohol intoxication can increase proinflammatory cytokine production and induce marked immunosuppression. We investigated the effects of ethanol on physiopathology and cytokine levels following HS in acutely alcohol-intoxicated rats. Rats received an intravenous injection of 5 g/kg ethanol over 3 h followed by HS induced by withdrawal of 40% of total blood volume from a femoral arterial catheter over 30 min. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were monitored continuously for 48 h after the start of blood withdrawal. Biochemical parameters, including hemoglobin, ethanol, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cre), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), and creatine phosphokinase (CPK), were measured at 30 min before induction of HS and 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, and 48 h after HS. Serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were measured at 1 and 12 h after HS. The liver, kidneys, and lungs were removed for pathology at 48 h later. HS significantly increased HR, blood GOT, GPT, BUN, Cre, LDH, CPK, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels and decreased hemoglobin and MAP in rats. Acute ethanol intoxication further increased serum levels of GOT, GPT, BUN, Cre, LDH, CPK, TNF-α and IL-6 elevation following HS. Acutely intoxicated rats exacerbated the histopathologic changes in the liver, kidneys, and lungs following HS.

Abstract
The potent anti-inflammatory activities and tissue-protective effects of freshwater clams (Corbicula fluminea) have been well reported. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of freshwater clam extract (FCE) supplementation on time to exhaustion, muscle damage, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and liver injury in rats after exhaustive exercise. Thirty-two rats were divided into four groups: sedentary control (SC); SC group with FCE supplementation (SC+FCE); exhaustive exercise (E); and E group with FCE supplementation (E+FCE). The SC+FCE and E+FCE groups were treated with gavage administration of 20 mg/kg for seven consecutive days. Blood samples were collected for the evaluation of biochemical parameters. The cytokine levels of TNF-α and IL-10 were also examined. Twenty-four hours after exhaustive exercise, the rat livers were removed for H & E staining. The FCE supplementation could extend the time to exhaustion in exercised rats. The levels of CPK, LDH, AST, ALT, lactate, TNF-α and H & E stains of the liver injury were significantly decreased in the E+FCE group, but the blood glucose and IL-10 were significantly higher in comparison with the E group. This study suggests that FCE supplementation may improve endurance performance and reduce exercise-induced muscle damage, inflammatory stress and liver injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Haemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (H/R) induces hepatic injury, strong inflammatory changes and death. Alcohol intoxication is assumed to worsen pathophysiological derangements after H/R. Here, we studied the effects of acute alcohol intoxication on survival, liver injury and inflammation after H/R, in rats. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Rats were given a single oral dose of ethanol (5 g·kg(-1) , 30%) or saline (control), 12 h before they were haemorrhaged for 60 min and resuscitated (H/R). Sham groups received the same procedures without H/R. Measurements were made 2, 24 and 72 h after resuscitation. Survival was assessed 72 h after H/R. KEY RESULTS Ethanol increased survival after H/R three-fold and also induced fatty changes in the liver. H/R-induced liver injury was amplified by ethanol at 2 h but inhibited 24 h after H/R. Elevated serum IL-6 levels as well as hepatic IL-6 and TNF-α gene expression 2 h after H/R were reduced by ethanol. Ethanol enhanced serum IL-1β at 2 h, but did not affect increased hepatic IL-1β expression at 72 h after H/R. Local inflammatory markers, hepatic infiltration with polymorphonuclear leukocytes and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 expression decreased after ethanol compared with saline, following H/R. Ethanol reduced H/R-induced IκBα activation 2 h after H/R, and NF-κB-dependent gene expression of MMP9. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Ethanol reduced H/R-induced mortality at 72 h, accompanied by a suppression of proinflammatory changes after H/R in ethanol-treated animals. Binge-like ethanol exposure modulated the inflammatory response after H/R, an effect that was associated with NF-κB activity.

Abstract
Background Hemorrhagic shock (HS) followed by resuscitation can induce the production of several inflammatory mediators and lead to multiple organ dysfunction. The molecular mechanism of biologic responses to rosiglitazone has an anti-inflammatory effect. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of rosiglitazone on physiopathology and inflammatory mediators after HS in rats. Material/Methods HS was induced in rats by withdrawing 60% of the total blood volume from a femoral artery catheter, immediately followed by intravenous injection of 0.3 mg/kg rosiglitazone. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were monitored continuously for 12 h. Levels of biochemical parameters, including GOT, GPT, BUN, Cre, LDH, CPK, and lactate were measured at 30 min before induction of HS and 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 h after HS, while an equal volume of normal saline was replaced as fluid resuscitation. Inflammatory mediators, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), were measured in serum at 1 and 12 h after HS. The kidneys, liver, lungs, and small intestine were removed for histological assessment by hematoxylin and eosin stained at 48 h after HS. Results HS significantly increased blood GOT, GPT, BUN, Cre, LDH, CPK, lactate, glucose, TNF-α, IL-6 and MCP-1 levels, induced tachycardia, and decreased mean arterial pressure (MAP) in rats. Treatment with rosiglitazone improved survival rate, decreased the markers of organ injury, and suppressed the release of TNF-α, IL-6, and MCP-1 after HS in rats. Conclusions Treatment with rosiglitazone suppresses the release of serum TNF-α, IL-6 and MCP-1, and ameliorates HS-induced organ damage in rats.

Abstract
Background Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are produced during hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (H/R), which may contribute to multiple organ failure. The Aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that green tea (Camellia sinenesis) extract containing 85% polyphenols decreases injury after H/R in rats by scavenging ROS and RNS. Methods Female Sprague Dawley rats were given 100 mg polyphenol extract/kg body weight or vehicle 2 h prior to hemorrhagic shock. H/R was induced by two protocols: 1) withdrawal of blood to a mean arterial pressure of 40 mm Hg followed by further withdrawals to decrease blood pressure progressively to 28 mm Hg over 1 h (severe), and 2) withdrawal of blood to a sustained hypotension of 40 mm Hg for 1 h (moderate). Rats were then resuscitated over 1 h with 60% of the shed blood volume plus twice the shed blood volume of lactated Ringer's solution. Serum samples were collected at 10 min and 2 h after resuscitation. At 2 or 18 h, livers were harvested for cytokine and 3-nitrotyrosine quantification, immunohistochemical detection of 4-hydroxynonenol (4-HNE) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expression. Results After severe H/R, 18-h survival increased from 20% after vehicle to 70% after polyphenols (p < 0.05). After moderate H/R, survival was greater (80%) and not different between vehicle and polyphenols. In moderate H/R, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) increased at 10 min and 2 h postresuscitation to 345 and 545 IU/L, respectively. Polyphenol treatment blunted this increase to 153 and 252 IU/L at 10 min and 2 h (p < 0.01). Polyphenols also blunted increases in liver homogenates of TNFα (7.0 pg/mg with vehicle vs. 4.9 pg/mg with polyphenols, p < 0.05), IL-1β (0.80 vs. 0.37 pg/mg, p < 0.05), IL-6 (6.9 vs. 5.1 pg/mg, p < 0.05) and nitrotyrosine (1.9 pg/mg vs. 0.6 pg/mg, p < 0.05) measured 18 h after H/R. Hepatic 4-HNE immunostaining indicative of lipid peroxidation also decreased from 4.8% after vehicle to 1.5% after polyphenols (p < 0.05). By contrast, polyphenols did not block increased iNOS expression at 2 h after H/R. Conclusion Polyphenols decrease ROS/RNS formation and are beneficial after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation.

Abstract
The identification of early indicators of hemorrhagic hypotension (HH) severity may support early therapeutic approaches and bring insights into possible mechanistic implications. However, few systematic investigations of physiologic variables during early stages of hemorrhage are available. We hypothesized that, in certain subjects, early physiologic responses to blood loss are associated with the ability to survive hemorrhage levels that are lethal to subjects that do not present the same responses. Therefore, we examine the relevance of specific systemic changes during and after the bleeding phase of HH. Stepwise hemorrhage, representing prehospital situations, was performed in 44 rats, and measurements were made after each step. Heart and respiratory rates, arterial and venous blood pressures, gases, acid-base status, glucose, lactate, electrolytes, hemoglobin, O(2) saturation, tidal volume, and minute volume were measured before, during, and after bleeding 40% of the total blood volume. Fifty percent of rats survived 100 min (survivors, S) or longer; others were considered nonsurvivors (NS). Our findings were as follows: (1) S and NS subjected to a similar hemorrhage challenge showed significantly different responses during nonlethal levels of bleeding; (2) survivors showed higher blood pressure and ventilation than NS; (3) although pH was lower in NS at later stages, changes in bicarbonate and base excess occurred already during the hemorrhage phase and were higher in NS; and (4) plasma K(+) levels and glucose extraction were higher in NS. We conclude that cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses, essential for the survival at HH, can differentiate between S and NS even before a lethal bleeding was reached.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-fat enteral nutrition reduces the inflammatory response following hemorrhagic shock in the rat. AIMS We hypothesized that this intervention might also ameliorate the remote organ injury to the liver associated with this model. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were either starved or fed low-fat or high-fat isocaloric isonitrogenous feed prior to nonlethal hemorrhagic shock induced by a 40% reduction in the blood volume. Animals were sacrificed at 90 minutes or 24 hours after injury. Liver cell damage was assessed by histology and long polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect mitochondrial DNA damage. Stress protein expression was measured by Western blot and mRNA expression by real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Animals fed a low-fat diet had the same severity of liver injury as starved animals and increased expression of stress proteins. Animals fed a high-fat diet had minimal liver injury, no evidence of mitochondrial DNA damage, and significantly lower expression of stress proteins. This effect is associated with preservation of hepatocellular morphology, attenuation of mitochondrial DNA damage, and a reduced stress protein response to injury. CONCLUSIONS High-fat enteral nutrition protects the liver from the remote effects of hemorrhagic shock, but the mechanism of this effect is not yet known.

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

Abstract
Probiotic therapy modulates the composition of the intestinal flora and inhibits the inflammatory response. These properties may be of benefit in the preservation of gut barrier integrity after injury or stress. In this study, we examined the effect of two Lactobacillus strains selected for their pathogen exclusion properties on intestinal barrier integrity following hemorrhagic shock. Additionally, the responsiveness of the macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 to combined exposure to Lactobacillus DNA or oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG motifs (CpG-ODN) and endotoxin was assessed by measuring tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) release. Rats were administered lactobacilli (5 x 10(9) CFU) or vehicle for 7 days and were subjected subsequently to hemorrhagic shock by withdrawal of 2.1 ml blood/100 g tissue. Levels of plasma endotoxin, bacterial translocation to distant organs, and filamentous actin (F-actin) in the ileum were determined 24 h later. Rats treated with Lactobacillus rhamnosus showed reduced levels of plasma endotoxin (8 +/- 2 pg/ml versus 24 +/- 4 pg/ml; P = 0.01), bacterial translocation (2 CFU/gram versus 369 CFU/gram; P < 0.01), and disruption of F-actin distribution following hemorrhagic shock compared with nontreated control rats. In contrast, pretreatment with Lactobacillus fermentum had no substantial effect on gut barrier integrity. Interestingly, DNA preparations from both lactobacilli reduced endotoxin-induced TNF-alpha release dose dependently, whereas CpG-ODN increased TNF-alpha release. In conclusion, the pathogen exclusion properties of both Lactobacillus strains and the reduction of endotoxin-induced inflammation by their DNA in vitro are not prerequisites for a beneficial effect of probiotic therapy on gut barrier function following hemorrhagic shock. Although pretreatment with Lactobacillus spp. may be useful to preserve gut barrier integrity following severe hypotension, a thorough assessment of specific strains seems to be essential.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock causes myocardial contractile depression. Although this myocardial disorder is associated with increased expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), the role of TNF-alpha as a myocardial depressant factor in hemorrhagic shock remains to be determined. Moreover, it is unclear which TNF-alpha receptor mediates the myocardial depressive effects of TNF-alpha. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) regulates cellular expression of proinflammatory mediators following lipopolysaccharide stimulation and may be involved in the tissue inflammatory response to injury. The contribution of TLR4 signaling to tissue TNF-alpha response to hemorrhagic shock and TLR4's role in myocardial depression during hemorrhagic shock are presently unknown. We examined the relationship of TNF-alpha production to myocardial depression in a mouse model of nonresuscitated hemorrhagic shock, assessed the influence of TLR4 mutation, resulting in defective signaling, on TNF-alpha production and myocardial depression, and determined the roles of TNF-alpha and TNF-alpha receptors in myocardial depression using a gene knockout (KO) approach. Hemorrhagic shock resulted in increased plasma and myocardial TNF-alpha (4.9- and 4.5-fold, respectively) at 30 min and induced myocardial contractile depression at 4 h. TLR4 mutation abolished the TNF-alpha response and attenuated myocardial depression (left ventricular developed pressure of 43.0 +/- 6.2 mmHg in TLR4 mutant vs. 30.0 +/- 3.6 mmHg in wild type, P < 0.05). TNF-alpha KO also attenuated myocardial depression in hemorrhagic shock, and the p55 receptor KO, but not the p75 receptor KO, mimicked the effect of TNF-alpha KO. The results suggest that TLR4 plays a novel role in signaling to the TNF-alpha response during hemorrhagic shock and that TNF-alpha through the p55 receptor activates a pathway leading to myocardial depression. Thus TLR4 and the p55 TNF-alpha receptor represent therapeutic targets for preservation of cardiac mechanical function during hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) administration after trauma-hemorrhage (T-H) improves cardiovascular function and decreases cytokine production in male animals. Although androstenediol, one of the metabolites of DHEA, is reported to have estrogen-like activity, it remains unknown whether androstenediol per se has any salutary effects on cytokines and cardiovascular function after T-H. To examine this effect, male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent laparotomy and were bled to and maintained at a mean arterial blood pressure of 35–40 mmHg for ∼90 min. The animals were resuscitated with four times the volume of maximal bleedout volume in the form of Ringer lactate. Androstenediol (1 mg/kg body wt iv) or vehicle was administered at the end of resuscitation. Twenty-four hours after resuscitation, cardiac function and organ blood flow were measured by using 85Sr-microspheres. Circulating levels of nitrate/nitrite and IL-6 were also determined. Cardiovascular function and organ blood flow were significantly depressed after T-H. However, these parameters were restored by androstenediol treatment. The elevated plasma IL-6 levels after T-H were also lowered by androstenediol treatment. In contrast, plasma levels of nitrate/nitrite were the highest in the androstenediol-treated T-H animals. Because androstenediol administration after T-H decreases cytokine production and improves cardiovascular function, this agent appears to be a novel and useful adjunct for restoring the depressed cardiovascular function and for cytokine production in males after adverse circulatory conditions.

Abstract
There is now wide acceptance of the concept that the similarity between many acute infectious diseases, be they viral, bacterial, or parasitic in origin, is caused by the overproduction of inflammatory cytokines initiated when the organism interacts with the innate immune system. This is also true of certain noninfectious states, such as the tissue injury syndromes. This review discusses the historical origins of these ideas, which began with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and spread from their origins in malaria research to other fields. As well the more established proinflammatory mediators, such as TNF, interleukin-1, and lymphotoxin, the roles of nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, which are chiefly inhibitory, are discussed. The established and potential roles of two more recently recognized contributors, overactivity of the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) and the escape of high-mobility-group box 1 (HMGB1) protein from its normal location into the circulation, are also put in context. The pathogenesis of the disease caused by falciparum malaria is then considered in the light of what has been learned about the roles of these mediators in these other diseases, as well as in malaria itself.

Abstract
Studies are needed to provide a rigorous examination of the relevance of monitored variables during prolonged hemorrhagic hypotension (HH). This study was designed to investigate the parameters that describe biochemical and O2 transport patterns in animals subjected to HH. Systemic parameters that could differentiate survivors from nonsurvivors were identified. An aortic flow probe was implanted in rats ( n = 21) for continuous measurement of cardiac output. Experiments were performed 6–9 days after surgery. Rats were bled to a mean arterial pressure of 40 mmHg and kept at that level using Ringer-lactate solution. Arterial and venous blood pressures, gases, acid-base status, glucose, lactate, electrolytes, hemoglobin, O2 saturation, heart and respiratory rates, total peripheral resistance, and O2 delivery and consumption were measured before hemorrhage, soon after 40 mmHg was reached, and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 h later. Fifty-three percent of rats survived ≥3 h (survivors); others were considered nonsurvivors. Nonsurvivors showed a significantly greater degree of metabolic acidosis than survivors. Arterial Po2, respiratory rate, O2 saturation, O2 content, glucose, and pH were significantly higher in survivors. The rate of Ringer-lactate infusion, arterial K+, and Pco2 were lower in survivors. Arterial K+ and respiratory rate were the only parameters significantly different between survivors and nonsurvivors at all time points during HH. Arterial levels of K+ showed the clearest distinction between survivors and nonsurvivors and may explain the sudden death experienced by animals during HH. The data suggest that early respiratory and metabolic compensations are essential for survival of prolonged HH.

Abstract
Several factors have been implicated in TNF-alpha induction after haemorrhage, but the precise mechanism is unknown. To assess a possible role of adrenal glands on TNF-alpha induction after haemorrhage, adrenalectomized (ADX) and sham-adrenalectomized (Sham) rats were subjected to 20 ml/kg haemorrhage (approximately 30% of the total blood volume) over 5 min in the conscious state, and changes in serum TNF and hepatic TNF-alpha mRNA were analysed by cytotoxicity against L929 cells and by semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Changes in plasma corticosterone (CS) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) were also detected. Plasma CS levels showed a rapid increase after haemorrhage in Sham rats, whereas there was no response in ADX rats. Responses of MABP were comparable in the two groups. Both serum TNF and hepatic TNF-alpha mRNA showed rapid increases after haemorrhage in the Sham group, and these increases were significantly augmented in the ADX group. Pretreatment with CS (100 microg/h) negated these augmentations in ADX rats. These results show that adrenalectomy enhances the response of TNF-alpha to 20 ml/kg haemorrhage in the conscious rat, and suggest that endogenous glucocorticoids may play an inhibitory role in the induction of TNF-alpha after haemorrhage.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) on cytokine induction after hemorrhage, because hypoxia induces cytokines in vitro. Chronically cannulated conscious rats were subjected to 40 ml/kg of hemorrhage and resuscitated with the shed blood and twice the volume of saline either under room air (room air group) or under 100% oxygen at 3 atmospheres absolute (hyperbaric group). Rats exposed to HBO with no hemorrhage served as controls. Time course changes in plasma endotoxin level, arterial ketone body ratio (AKBR), serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and their hepatic mRNA were detected in the three groups. Plasma endotoxin levels increased significantly after hemorrhage, and there were no significant differences between the room air group and the hyperbaric group. In the room air group, AKBR dropped rapidly after hemorrhage and became minimal at hour 1, which was associated with significant increases in TNF-alpha and IL-6 at both mRNA and circulating levels. HBO significantly attenuated decreases in AKBR after hemorrhage with a significant reduction of mortality and cytokine induction. These results indicate that HBO attenuated the cytokine induction after hemorrhage by improving liver ischemia, and they suggest that tissue hypoxia may be responsible, at least in part, for cytokine induction after massive hemorrhage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether administration of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor after trauma-hemorrhage has any beneficial effects on cardiovascular parameters and hepatocellular function and on survival rate after subsequent sepsis. BACKGROUND Increased inflammatory cytokine release and concomitant activation of intracellular signaling pathways contributes to multiple organ dysfunction and increased susceptibility to subsequent sepsis after severe hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent a midline laparotomy (i.e., soft-tissue trauma induced) and were then bled to and maintained at a mean arterial pressure of 40 mmHg until 40% of the maximal shed blood volume was returned in the form of Ringer's lactate. The rats were then resuscitated with four times the shed blood volume in the form of Ringer's lactate during a 60-minute period. A tyrosine kinase inhibitor, AG 556 (7.5 mg/kg), or vehicle was administered intraperitoneally at the middle of resuscitation. At 24 hours after resuscitation, various in vivo parameters such as heart performance, cardiac index, and hepatocellular function (i.e., the maximum velocity and the overall efficiency of indocyanine green clearance) were determined. Phosphorylation state of the mitogen-activated protein kinases p44/42 and p38 in the liver was assessed by Western blot analysis. In additional groups of rats, sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture at 20 hours after hemorrhage. The necrotic cecum was excised 10 hours thereafter, and the survival rate was monitored for a period of 10 days. RESULTS AG 556 treatment restored the depressed cardiovascular and hepatocellular functions after trauma-hemorrhage and resuscitation, which was associated with reduced phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases p44/42 and p38. Moreover, treatment with AG 556 significantly increased the survival rate of rats after trauma-hemorrhage and induction of subsequent sepsis compared with vehicle-treated rats. CONCLUSION Inhibition of tyrosine kinase signaling after trauma-hemorrhage may represent a novel therapeutic approach for improving organ functions and decreasing the death rate from subsequent sepsis under such conditions.
