Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic hyperfibrinolysis is a lethal phenotype of trauma-induced coagulopathy. Its pathogenesis is poorly understood. Recent studies have support a central role of platelets in hemostasis and in fibrinolysis regulation, implying that platelet impairment is integral to the development of postinjury systemic hyperfibrinolysis. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to identify if platelet function is associated with blood clot sensitivity to fibrinolysis. We hypothesize that platelet impairment of the ADP pathway correlates with fibrinolysis sensitivity in trauma patients. METHODS A prospective observational study of patients meeting the criteria for the highest level of activation at an urban trauma center was performed. Viscoelastic parameters associated with platelet function (maximum amplitude [MA]) were measured with native thrombelastography (TEG), and TEG platelet mapping of the ADP pathway (ADP-MA). The contribution of fibrinogen to clotting was measured with TEG (angle) and the TEG functional fibrinogen (FF) assay (FF-MA). Another TEG assay containing tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) (75 ng mL(-1) ) was used to assess clot sensitivity to an exogenous fibrinolytic stimulus by use of the TEG lysis at 30 min (LY30) variable. Multivariate linear regression was used to identify which TEG variable correlated with t-PA-LY30 (quantification of fibrinolysis sensitivity). RESULTS Fifty-eight trauma patients were included in the analysis, with a median injury severity score of 17 and a base deficit of 6 mEq L(-1) . TEG parameters that significantly predicted t-PA-LY30 were related to platelet function (ADP-MA, P = 0.001; MA, P < 0.001) but not to fibrinogen (FF-MA, P = 0.773; angle, P = 0.083). Clinical predictors of platelet ADP impairment included calcium level (P = 0.001), base deficit (P = 0.001), and injury severity (P = 0.001). RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Platelet impairment of the ADP pathway is associated with increased sensitivity to t-PA. ADP pathway inhibition in platelets may be an early step in the pathogenesis of systemic hyperfibrinolysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The safety and efficacy of stored red blood cells (RBCs) transfusion has been long debated due to retrospective clinical evidence and laboratory results, indicating a potential correlation between increased morbidity and mortality following transfusion of RBC units stored longer than 14 days. We hypothesize that storage in Optisol additive solution-5 leads to a unique metabolomics profile in the supernatant of stored RBCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Whole blood was drawn from five healthy donors, RBC units were manufactured, and prestorage leucoreduced by filtration. Samples were taken on days 1 and 42, the cells removed, and mass spectrometry-based metabolomics was performed. RESULTS The results confirmed the progressive impairment of RBC energy metabolism by day 42 with indirect markers of a parallel alteration of glutathione and NADPH homeostasis. Moreover, oxidized pro-inflammatory lipids accumulated by the end of storage. CONCLUSION The supernatants from stored RBCs may represent a burden to the transfused recipients from a metabolomics standpoint.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microparticles (MPs) are submicron size cell fragments that are released from cells. OBJECTIVES We hypothesise that MPs increase during red blood cell (RBC) storage and are part of the pro-inflammatory activity, which accumulates in the RBC supernatant. METHODS/MATERIALS RBC units were separated from whole blood of eight healthy donors: 5 U were split, with 50% undergoing leucoreduction (LR) and the remaining left as unmodified controls. The remaining 3 U were leucoreduced. Samples were obtained at days (D) 1 and 42 and cell-free supernatants separated and stored. The supernatants were centrifuged at 17 000 × g (60 min) or 100 000 × g (120 min) into microparticle-rich (MPR) and microparticle-poor (MPP) portions, resuspended in albumin, incubated with antibodies to CD235 (RBCs), CD45 [white blood cells (WBCs)] and CD41a [platelets (Plts)], and analysed by flow cytometry. Isolated neutrophils were incubated with these samples, and priming activity measured. RESULTS Total MPs increased during storage; however, MPs that marked for precursor cell types did not. Significant priming accumulated in the MPP fraction during storage with some activity present in the MPR fraction from D1 and D42 LR-RBCs. CONCLUSION Most of the pro-inflammatory priming activity from stored RBCs resides in the MPP supernatant, although the MPR fraction from D42 LR-RBCs does contain some priming activity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Injury is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and as much as 40% of injury-related mortality is attributed to uncontrollable hemorrhage. This persists despite establishment of regionalized trauma systems and advances in the management of severely injured patients. Trauma-induced coagulopathy has been identified as the most common preventable cause of postinjury mortality. METHODS A review of the current literature was performed by collecting PUBMED references related to trauma-induced coagulopathy. Data were then critically analyzed and summarized based on the authors' clinical and research perspective, as well as that reported by other institutions and researchers interested in trauma-induced coagulopathy. A particular focus was placed on those aspects of coagulopathy in which agreement among clinical and basic scientists is currently lacking; these include, pathophysiology, the role of blood components and factor therapy, and goal-directed assessment and management. RESULTS Trauma-induced coagulopathy has been recognized in approximately one-third of trauma patients. There is a vast range of severity, and the emergence of viscoelastic assays, such as thrombelastography and rotational thromboelastogram, has refined its diagnosis and management, particularly through the establishment of goal-directed massive transfusion protocols. Despite advancements in the diagnosis and management of trauma-induced coagulopathy, much remains to be understood regarding its pathophysiology. The cell-based model of hemostasis has allowed for characterization of endothelial dysfunction, impaired thrombin generation, platelet dysfunction, fibrinolysis, endogenous anticoagulants such as protein-C, and antifibrinolytic proteins. These concepts collectively compose the contemporary, but still partial, understanding of trauma-induced coagulopathy. CONCLUSION Trauma-induced coagulopathy is a complex pathophysiological condition, of which some mechanisms have been characterized, but much remains to be understood in order to translate this knowledge into improved outcomes for the injured patient.

Abstract
PURPOSE Viscoelastic hemostatic assays are emerging as the standard-of-care in the early detection of post-injury coagulopathy. TEG and ROTEM are most commonly used. Although similar in technique, each uses different reagents, which may affect their sensitivity to detect fibrinolysis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the ability of each device to detect fibrinolysis. METHODS TEG (Rapid, Kaolin, Functional Fibrinogen) and ROTEM (EXTEM, INTEM, FIBTEM) were run simultaneously on normal blood as well as blood containing tPA from healthy volunteers (n = 10). A two-tailed, paired t-test and ANOVA were used to determine the significance between parameters obtained from normal blood and blood with tPA, and individual TEG and ROTEM assays, respectively. RESULTS TEG detected significant changes in clot strength and 30-min lysis after the addition of tPA (p < 0.0001). All ROTEM assays detected changes in the 30-min lysis (p < 0.0001), but only INTEM detected changes in clot strength (p < 0.05). Kaolin and Rapid TEG assays detected greater changes in clot strength and lysis, but INTEM and EXTEM had decreased lysis onset times compared to TEG (p < 0.001). Functional Fibrinogen and FIBTEM assays detected lysis sooner than other TEG/ROTEM assays, and were comparable. CONCLUSIONS TEG assays detect greater changes in clot strength compared to ROTEM. Despite this, Functional Fibrinogen and FIBTEM assays detect fibrinolysis sooner than their corresponding intrinsic and extrinsic assays. Therefore, fibrinogen assays should be employed in actively bleeding trauma patients in order to provide timely antifibrinolytic therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is a life-saving intervention for critically ill patients; however, it has been linked to increased morbidity and mortality. We hypothesize that a number of important proteins accumulate during routine storage of RBCs, which may explain some of the adverse effects seen in transfused patients. STUDY DESIGN Five RBC units were drawn and divided (half prestorage leucoreduced (LR-RBC) and half left as an unmodified control (RBC). The supernatant was separated on days 1 and 42 of storage and proteomic analyses completed with in-gel tryptic digestion and nano-liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS In RBC supernatants, 401 proteins were identified: 203 increased with storage, 114 decreased, and 84 were unchanged. In LR-RBC supernatant, 231 proteins were identified: 84 increased with storage, 30 decreased, and 117 were unchanged. Prestorage leucoreduction removed many platelet- and leucocyte-derived structural proteins; however, a number of intracellular proteins accumulated including peroxiredoxins (Prdx) 6 and latexin. The increases were confirmed by immunoblotting, including the T-phosphorylation of Prdx-6, indicating that it may be functioning as an active phospholipase. Active matrix metalloproteinase-9 also increased with a coinciding decrease in the metalloproteinase inhibitor 1 and cystatin C. CONCLUSION We conclude that a number of proteins increase with RBC storage, which is partially ameliorated with leucoreduction, and transfusion of stored RBCs may introduce mediators that result in adverse events in the transfused host.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Plasma and platelet concentrates are disproportionately implicated in transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI). Platelet-derived pro-inflammatory mediators, including soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L), accumulate during storage. We hypothesized that platelet contamination induces sCD40L generation that causes neutrophil [polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMN)] priming and PMN-mediated cytotoxicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Plasma was untreated, centrifuged (12,500 g) or separated from leucoreduced whole blood (WBLR) prior to freezing. Platelet counts and sCD40L concentrations were measured 1-5 days post-thaw. The plasma was assayed for PMN priming activity and was used in a two-event in vitro model of PMN-mediated human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell (HMVEC) cytotoxicity. RESULTS Untreated plasma contained 42±4·2×10(3)/μl platelets, which generated sCD40L accumulation (1·6-eight-fold vs. controls). Priming activity and HMVEC cytotoxicity were directly proportional to sCD40L concentration. WBLR and centrifugation reduced platelet and sCD40L contamination, abrogating the pro-inflammatory potential. CONCLUSION Platelet contamination causes sCD40L accumulation in stored plasma that may contribute to TRALI. Platelet reduction is potentially the first TRALI mitigation effort in plasma manufacturing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Substantial investigation has implicated mesenteric lymph as the mechanistic link between gut ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and distant organ injury. Specifically, lymph diversion prevents acute lung injury (ALI) in vitro, and bioactive lipids and proteins isolated from postshock mesenteric lymph (PSML) maintain bioactivity in vitro. However, Koch's postulates remain to be satisfied via direct cross-transfusion into a naïve animal. We therefore hypothesized that real time cross-transfusion of postshock mesenteric lymph provokes acute lung injury. METHODS One set of Sprague-Dawley rats (lymph donors) was anesthetized, with the mesenteric lymph ducts cannulated and exteriorized to drain freely into a siliconates plastic cup; concurrently, a second group of rats ( lymph recipients) was anesthetized, with a cannula inserted into the animal's right internal jugular vein. Blood was removed from the donor rats to induce hemorrhagic shock (MAP of 35 mmHg × 45 min). The recipient rats were positioned 10 cm below the plastic cup, which emptied into the jugular vein cannula. Thus, mesenteric lymph from the shocked donor rat was delivered to the recipient rat at the rate generated during shock and the subsequent 3 h of resuscitation. RESULTS Neutrophil (PMN) accumulation in the lungs was substantially elevated in the postshock lymph cross-transfusion group compared to both sham lymph cross-transfusion and instrumented control (MPO: 9.42 ± 1.55 versus 2.81 ± 0.82 U/mg lung tissue in postshock versus sham lymph cross-transfusion, n = 6 in each group, P = 0.02). Additionally, cross-transfusion of PSML induced oxidative stress in the lung (0.21 ± 0.03 versus 0.10 ± 0.01 micromoles MDA per mg lung tissue in lymph cross-transfusion versus instrumented control, n = 6 in each group, P = 0.046). Furthermore, transfusion of PSML provoked lung injury (BAL protein 0.77 ± 0.18 versus 0.15 ± 0.02 mg/mL protein in BALF, postshock versus sham lymph cross-transfusion, n = 6 in each group, P = 0.004). CONCLUSION Cross-transfusion of PSML into a naïve animal leads to PMN accumulation and provokes ALI. These data provide evidence that postshock agents released into mesenteric lymph are capable of provoking distant organ injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Even with the introduction of specific risk-reduction strategies, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) continues to be a leading cause of transfusion-related morbidity and mortality. Existing small animal models have not yet investigated TRALI resulting from the infusion of heat-treated supernatant from whole blood platelet concentrates. In this study, our objective was the development of a novel in vivo two-event model of TRALI in sheep. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 15 μg/kg) as a first event, modelled clinical infection. Transfusion (estimated at 10% of total blood volume) of heat-treated pooled supernatant from date-of-expire human whole blood platelet concentrates (d5-PLT-S/N) was used as a second event. TRALI was defined by both hypoxaemia that developed either during the transfusion or within two hours of its completion and post-mortem histological evidence of pulmonary oedema. RESULTS LPS infusion did not cause lung injury itself, but did result in decreased circulating levels of lymphocytes and neutrophils with evidence of the latter becoming sequestered in the lungs. Sheep that received LPS (first event) followed by d5-PLT-S/N (second event) displayed decreased pulmonary compliance, decreased end tidal CO(2) and increased arterial partial pressure of CO(2) relative to control sheep, and 80% of these sheep developed TRALI. CONCLUSIONS This novel ovine two-event TRALI model presents a new tool for the investigation of TRALI pathogenesis. It represents the first description of an in vivo large animal model of TRALI and the first description of TRALI caused by transfusion with heat-treated pooled supernatant from human whole blood platelet concentrates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mirasol Pathogen Reduction Technology (PRT) treatment uses riboflavin and UV light to inactivate pathogens in blood components. Neutrophil [polymorphonuclear cells (PMN)] priming activity accumulates during routine storage of cellular blood components, and this activity has been implicated in transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI). We hypothesize that PRT-treatment of blood components affects the priming activity generated during storage of packed RBCs (PRBCs) or platelet concentrates (PCs), which can elicit ALI in vivo. METHODS Plasma, PRBCs and PCs were isolated from healthy donor's whole blood or by apheresis. Half of a collected unit was treated with PRT treatment and the remainder was left as an unmodified control. Supernatant was collected during storage of PCs and PRBCs and assayed for PMN priming activity and used as the second event in a two-event in vivo model of TRALI. RESULTS PRT treatment did not induce priming activity in plasma or affect the priming activity generated during storage of PCs or PRBCs as compared with the unmodified controls. The supernatants from stored, but not fresh, PCs and PRBCs did cause ALI as the second event in a two-event animal model of TRALI, which was unaffected by PRT treatment. We conclude that the PRT treatment does not induce priming activity in plasma nor does it affect the priming activity generated during storage of PCs or PRBCs or their ability to cause ALI as the second event in a two-event in vivo model of TRALI. Moreover, the amount of priming activity in TRIMA-isolated PCs was significantly less than SPECTRA-isolated PCs.

Abstract
e20575 Background: Increasing epidemiologic data suggest association of vitamin D deficiency with influenza epidemic. Vitamin D acts as an immune modulator and stimulates the expression of protective anti-microbial peptides. We conducted a prospective influenza vaccination study to determine the influence of vitamin D status on serological response to flu vaccine in cancer patients. Methods: Cancer patients at Roswell Park Cancer Institute were offered trivalent (H1N1, H3N2, B/Malaysia) Flu vaccine (Fluzone, 2006–7) and sera collected for hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay titers. Response to vaccination was defined as ≥ 1:40 titer ratio or a 4 fold increase in HI titer at 3 months post vaccination, against any of the 3 strains. Chi-square tests were performed to compare serological response between the groups with lowest and highest quartiles of baseline 25 (OH) vitamin D (D) level. Logistic regression model was used using other covariates such as age, gender, cancer type, and chemotherapy (CT) as controls. Results: 85 patients with colorectal, 35 with prostate, 1 with anal and 1 with gastric adenocarcinoma participated in the study. Median age was 62 years (range: 24–87 years), 85 (70%) were males. Overall serological response was 59%. Median baseline D level was 42.9 ng/mL (range: 4.0–92.8 ng/mL); lowest and highest quartiles were 26.9 and 53.4 ng/mL. There was no association between serological response and baseline D level (p=0.42) or the lowest and highest quartiles of D level (p=0.6). The odds of response did not vary by sex (p=0.95). CRC patients (OR-0.051; 95% CI-0.013 to 0.209; p<0.0001) were less likely to respond. Few patients (n=20; 16%) were D deficient (<20ng/mL), 43 had D < 32ng/mL .70 patients (54.7%) were on vitamin D supplements. Among those in whom the dose of supplement was known (46),the median daily vitamin D supplement dose was 2000 IU (800–9000 IU).There was no association between serological response and dose (p=0.09). There was no difference in the response rates among patients on D supplement 44/70 (62.9%) versus those not on any D supplement 28/52 (53.8%)(p=0.32). Conclusions: Vitamin D status, in a population in which vitamin D supplementation was commonly used, did not affect serological response to influenza vaccine. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Transfusion of autologous blood is associated with fewer complications, although all untoward events of transfusion may not be negated with this strategy. We report a case of acute pulmonary insufficiency and hypotension following transfusion of autologous packed red blood cells (PRBCs) in a patient, who was undergoing major surgery. Anti-HLA class-I and class-II and anti-granulocyte antibodies were measured in the unit and in the recipient. Neutrophil (PMN)-priming activity was measured as the augmentation of the formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-activated respiratory burst. No immunoglobulins were identified; however, significant lipid-priming activity was present in the implicated, autologous PRBC unit that primed PMNs from both healthy people and the recipient. In addition, lipids, identical to those that accumulate during PRBC storage, caused significant hypotension when infused into rats at similar concentrations found in stored PRBCs. We conclude that the observed transfusion-related acute lung injury reaction with significant hypotension may be the result of two independent events: the first is related to inherent host factors, in this case major surgery, and the second is the infusion of lipids that accumulate during the routine storage of PRBCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed apoptosis of primed neutrophils (PMNs) may facilitate PMN-mediated tissue injury leading to multiple organ failure (MOF). We previously reported delayed apoptosis and priming of PMNs in severely injured patients at risk for MOF. Our in vitro and in vivo data have implicated phospholipids in PMN cytotoxicity following trauma and shock. The phospholipid signaling pathway remains to be elucidated, but may involve protein kinase C (PKC). We hypothesized that circulating platelet-activating factor (PAF) and PAF-like proinflammatory phospholipids mediate delayed postinjury PMN apoptosis and that PKC is integral to the signaling pathway. METHODS Blood was drawn from severely injured patients (n = 6; mean injury severity score = 21 and transfusion = 10 units) at 6 h postinjury. The plasma fraction was isolated and incubated (5% CO(2), 37 degrees C, 24 h) with PMNs harvested from healthy volunteers. Some PMNs were preincubated with a PAF receptor antagonist (WEB 2170, 400 microM) or a PKC inhibitor (Bis I, 1 microM). Apoptotic index (% PMNs undergoing apoptosis) was assessed morphologically. RESULTS Trauma patients' plasma delayed PMN apoptosis compared with plasma from controls. The PMN apoptotic index was not altered by WEB 2170 or Bis I alone; however, WEB 2170 or Bis I pretreatment abrogated delayed PMN apoptosis in response to trauma patients' plasma. CONCLUSION Trauma patients' plasma delays apoptosis of PMNs. Our data implicate PAF-like phospholipids in this effect, and PKC appears to be integral in the signaling process. Further elucidation of specific lipids and signaling pathways may reveal clinically accessible therapeutic targets to prevent PMN-mediated hyperinflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic shock-induced splanchnic hypoperfusion has been implicated as a priming event in the two event model of multiple organ failure (MOF). We have previously shown that early postinjury neutrophil (PMN) priming identifies the injured patient at risk for MOF. Recent in vitro studies have demonstrated that postshock mesenteric lymph primes isolated human neutrophils. We hypothesize that lymphatic diversion before hemorrhagic shock abrogates systemic PMN priming and subsequent lung injury. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats (n >or= 5 per group) underwent hemorrhagic shock (MAP 40 mm Hg x 30 min) and resuscitation (shed blood + 2x crystalloid) with and without mesenteric lymphatic duct diversion. Sham animals underwent anesthesia and laparotomy. Whole blood was taken 2 hours after resuscitation, heparinized, and incubated for 5 min at 37 degrees C. Surface expression of CD11b (a marker for PMN priming) was determined by flow-cytometry compared with isotype controls. In addition, lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) was measured for PMN sequestration, and Evans blue lung leak was assessed in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in sham, and shock +/- lymph diversion animals. RESULTS Hemorrhagic shock resulted in increased surface expression of PMN CD11b relative to sham (23.8 +/- 6.7 vs. 9.9 +/- 0.6). Mesenteric lymphatic diversion before hemorrhagic shock abrogated this effect (8.0 +/- 2.6). Lung PMN accumulation, as assessed by MPO, was greater in the lungs of nondiverted (113 +/- 14 MPO/mg lung) versus sham (55 +/- 4 MPO/mg lung, p < 0.05); lymph diversion reduced lung PMNs to control levels (71 +/- 6.5 MPO/mg lung, p < 0.05). Evans blue lung leak was 1.6 times sham in the hemorrhagic shock group; this was returned to sham levels after lymph diversion (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Post-hemorrhagic shock mesenteric lymph primes circulating PMNs, promotes lung PMN accumulation, and provokes acute lung injury. Lymphatic diversion abrogates these pathologic events. These observations further implicate the central role of mesenteric lymph in hemorrhagic shock-induced lung injury. Characterizing the PMN priming agents could provide insight into the pathogenesis of postinjury MOF and ultimately new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Investigation of hypertonic saline (HTS) modulation of neutrophils (PMN) cytotoxic responses has generated seemingly contradictory results. Clinically relevant levels of HTS attenuate receptor-mediated p38 MAPK signaling, whereas higher levels activate p38 MAPK. Concurrently, HTS exerts a dose-dependent attenuation of the PMN respiratory burst, most notably at concentrations where p38 MAPK is activated. We hypothesized that HTS-mediated p38 MAPK activation augments the PMN respiratory burst on return to normotonicity. We found that although clinically relevant levels of HTS (Na+ > or = 200 mM) did not activate p38 MAPK, higher concentrations (Na+ > or = 300 mM) resulted in activation comparable with that after PAF stimulation. Transient stimulation with high levels of HTS primed the PMN respiratory burst in response to fMLP and PMA. This effect was attenuated by pretreatment with SB 203580, a p38 MAPK specific inhibitor. We conclude that severe osmotic shock primes the respiratory burst via p38 MAPK signaling, further supporting the role of this signaling cascade in PMN priming.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock induced mesenteric hypoperfusion has long been implicated as a key event in the pathogenesis of the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multiple organ failure (MOF). Previous work links post-hemorrhagic shock mesenteric lymph (PHSML) lipids and neutrophil (PMN) priming in the pathogenesis of ARDS. We hypothesize that gut phospholipase A2 (PLA2) liberates proinflammatory lipids following hemorrhagic shock, which are responsible for enhanced PMN cytotoxicity. Mesenteric lymph was collected from rats (n > or = 5) before hemorrhagic shock, during hemorrhagic shock (MAP 40 mm Hg x 30 min), and after resuscitation (shed blood + 2x lactated Ringers). PMNs were incubated with physiologic concentrations (1-5%, v:v) of (a) buffer control, (b) sham (c) pre-shock lymph, (c) PHSML, (d) PHSML lipid extracts, (e) heat-denatured PSHML, and (f) PHSML harvested after i.v. pretreatment with a known PLA2 inhibitor (quinacrine, 10 mg/kg). PMNs were activated with fMLP (1 micromol), and the maximal rate of superoxide production measured by reduction of cytochrome c. Gut morphology was assessed histologically using hematoxalin and eosin (HE) staining. PHSML and PHSML lipid extracts (5%, v:v) primed for enhanced superoxide production compared to buffer controls (2.5-fold and 3.6-fold), sham (2.5-fold) and pre-shock lymph (2.0-fold). Lymph collected after systemic PLA2 inhibition, in contrast, abrogated the PMN priming response. Gut mucosal morphology, at end-resuscitation, was intact on HE staining both with and without PLA2 inhibition. Heat denaturing the PHSML (eliminating cytokines and complement), on the other hand, did not reduce PMN priming. Physiologic concentrations of PHSML lipids prime the PMN respiratory burst. Lymph priming is diminished with systemic PLA2 inhibition, implicating gut PLA2 as a source of proinflammatory lipids that may be central in the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic shock induced ARDS/MOF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some human malignancies such as virus-related hepatocellular cancer arise in a setting of chronic inflammation. Upregulation of ICAM-1 is a seminal late event in malignant transformation following chronic inflammation. Cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) is a lipid-mediator activated by inflammatory stimuli, which has been shown to mediate ICAM-1 upregulation. As lipid mediators are known to work via calcium-dependent mechanisms in nearly all mammalian cells, we hypothesize that inflammatory-mediated ICAM-1 upregulation is dependent on both cPLA(2) and intracellular calcium. MATERIALS AND METHODS HUVEC were chosen as a representative cell line as they emulate hepatic sinusoids and are a well-established cell model. These were grown to confluence in T-25 flasks and stimulated with TNF-alpha or LPS for 6 h. Additional groups were preincubated with AACOCF3 (a specific cPLA(2) inhibitor) or BAPTA A.M. (a specific inhibitor of intracellular Ca(2+)) prior to being exposed to inflammatory stimuli. ICAM-1 expression was determined by mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) as measured by FITC-labeled moAb to ICAM-1 via FACS. The role of intracellular Ca(2+) on cPLA(2) activity was determined by thin-layer chromatography. Groups were compared using ANOVA with Scheffe's post hoc analysis; *P < 0.05 vs control, daggerP < 0.05 vs LPS and TNF-alpha was considered significant; N > or = 4 all experimental groups. RESULTS Both cPLA(2) and Ca(2+) inhibition significantly inhibited inflammatory upregulation of ICAM-1. Pretreatment with BAPTA A.M. attenuated HUVEC cPLA(2) activity in response to LPS. These findings suggest that appropriate molecular target suppression may prevent malignant degeneration in the presence of chronic inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous work identified posthemorrhagic shock mesenteric lymph (PHSML) lipids as key elements in polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN)--provoked acute lung injury. We hypothesize that gut phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) is responsible for the generation of proinflammatory lipids in PHSML that primes circulating PMNs for enhanced oxidative burst. METHODS Mesenteric lymph was collected from rats (n = 5) before (preshock), during the induction of hemorrhagic shock (mean arterial pressure, 40 mm Hg x 30 minutes), and at resuscitation (shed blood + 2x lactated Ringer's solution). PLA(2) inhibition (quinacrine, 10 mg/kg, intravenously) was given before shock was induced. Extracted lipids were separated by normal phase high-pressure liquid chromatography and resuspended in albumin. PMNs were exposed to a 5% vol:vol concentration of eluted lipids and activated with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (1 micromol/L). Superoxide production was assessed by cytochrome C reduction. RESULTS High-pressure liquid chromatography--extracted neutral lipids of lymph collected before hemorrhagic shock did not prime the PMN oxidase, whereas isolated neutral lipids of postshock lymph primed PMNs 2.6- +/- 0.32-fold above baseline (P <.05). PLA(2) inhibition returned PHSML neutral lipid priming to baseline levels. CONCLUSIONS PLA(2) inhibition before hemorrhagic shock abrogates the neutrophil priming effects of PHSML through reduction of the accumulation of proinflammatory neutral lipids. Identification of these PLA(2)-dependent lipids provides a mechanistic link that may have therapeutic implications for postshock acute lung injury.

Abstract
Many receptor-linked agents that prime or activate the NADPH oxidase in polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) elicit changes in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and activate mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases. To investigate the role of Ca2+ in the activation of p38 and p42/44 MAP kinases, we examined the effects of the Ca2+-selective ionophore ionomycin on priming and activation of the PMN oxidase. Ionomycin caused a rapid rise in cytosolic Ca2+ that was due to both a release of cytosolic Ca2+ stores and Ca2+ influx. Ionomycin also activated (2 microM) and primed (20-200 nM) the PMN oxidase. Dual phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase and phosphorylation of its substrate activating transcription factor-2 were detected at ionomycin concentrations that prime or activate the PMN oxidase, while dual phosphorylation of p42/44 MAP kinase and phosphorylation of its substrate Elk-1 were elicited at 0.2-2 microM. SB-203580, a p38 MAP kinase antagonist, inhibited ionomycin-induced activation of the oxidase (68 +/- 8%, P < 0.05) and tyrosine phosphorylation of 105- and 72-kDa proteins; conversely, PD-98059, an inhibitor of MAP/extracellular signal-related kinase 1, had no effect. Treatment of PMNs with thapsigargin resulted in priming of the oxidase and activation of p38 MAP kinase. Chelation of cytosolic but not extracellular Ca2+ completely inhibited ionomycin activation of p38 MAP kinase, whereas chelation of extracellular Ca2+ abrogated activation of p42/44 MAP kinase. These results demonstrate the importance of changes in cytosolic Ca2+ for MAP kinase activation in PMNs.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Postinjury multiple organ failure (MOF) may result from overwhelming systemic hyperinflammation. Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) produces many inflammatory lipid mediators, and levels have been correlated with both the severity of patient injury and postinjury mortality. The objective of this study was to characterize the plasma activity of sPLA2 type IIa in severely injured patients and to determine whether the activity of this enzyme correlates with the subsequent development of MOF. PATIENTS Seventeen severely injured patients at known risk for MOF had blood sampled on postinjury days 0, 1, 2, 3, and 5. DESIGN sPLA2 activity was sequentially measured and correlated with MOF scores. RESULTS Six patients (35%) developed MOF. In comparison with non-MOF patients, MOF patients had elevated sPLA2 activity beginning 36 hrs postinjury (MOF sPLA2, 2.4 +/- 0.97, vs. non-MOF sPLA2, 0.86 +/- 0.16 active units (AU); p < .05) and continuing over the ensuing 5 days. To rule out the possibility that stored blood components required for patient resuscitation was the source of sPLA2, the sPLA2 was measured in packed red blood cells, platelet concentrates, and fresh frozen plasma over the routine storage time. None of the products tested had elevated levels of sPLA2 compared with fresh plasma from healthy adult volunteers. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that increased sPLA2 activity is associated with the development of postinjury MOF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertonic saline (HTS) resuscitation, in addition to enhancing hemodynamic recovery, modulates postinjury hyperinflammation in the critically injured. The polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) cytotoxic response, a key element in the pathogenesis of postinjury organ dysfunction, is attenuated under hypertonic conditions. Although plasma Na(+) rises to 180 mmol/L after HTS infusion, baseline levels are reestablished within 24 hours. We hypothesized that HTS attenuation of the PMN cytotoxic response (beta2-integrin expression, elastase release, and O2- production) is reversed upon return to normotonicity, but can be reestablished by repeated HTS challenge. METHODS Isolated human PMNs were incubated in HTS (Na(+) = 180 mmol/L) for 5 minutes at 37 degrees C then returned to normotonicity by centrifugation and resuspension in isotonic buffer. Stimulated (PAF) beta2-integrin expression was measured by flow cytometry. Stimulated (PAF/fMLP) elastase release and O2- production were measured by cleavage of N-methoxysuccinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val p-nitroanilide and reduction of cytochrome c (Cyt c). Protein tyrosine phosphorylation in PMN cell lysates was assessed by Western blot. RESULTS Clinically relevant levels of HTS induced tyrosine phosphorylation in resting PMNs and attenuated cytotoxic responses. Reestablishment of normotonicity returned these functions to baseline. A repeated HTS challenge after restoration of normotonicity also induced tyrosine phosphorylation and suppressed the cytotoxic response. CONCLUSIONS HTS attenuation of the PMN cytotoxic response is reversible but can be reestablished by repeated HTS treatment. This phenomenon may provide the unique opportunity to selectively and temporarily decrease the postinjury inflammatory response when patients are at greatest risk for PMN-mediated tissue damage.

Abstract
Neutrophils (PMNs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple organ failure (MOF). The two-insult model of MOF is based on the fundamental concept that two sequential and independent insults that are individually innocuous against the host can cause overwhelming inflammation. The in vitro PMN priming/activation sequence simulates the two-insult model. Our work has demonstrated that transfusion is an early consistent risk factor for post-injury MOF and lysophosphatidylcholines (lyso-PCs) are generated in stored blood components. Additionally, platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a key inflammatory agent produced in severely injured patients. We therefore hypothesize that two events, trauma and transfusion, enhance PMN cytotoxicity irrespective of the sequence. Superoxide (O2-) production was measured by reduction of cytochrome c, adherence to fibrinogen was assessed by the radioactivity of adherent Na2(51)CrO4 (51Cr)-labeled PMNs, and endothelial cell (EC) damage by measuring the radioactivity released from 51Cr-labeled human umbilical vein endothelial cells monolayers. Isolated PMNs were primed with buffer, PAF (2 microM), or lyso-PCs (4.5, 15, and 30 microM) followed by activation with buffer, N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) (1 microM), PAF (2 microM), or lyso-PCs (4.5, 15, and 30 microM). Neither PAF nor lyso-PCs alone stimulated O2- production. While PAF alone caused PMN adherence, lyso-PCs alone did not allowed PMNs to adhere to fibrinogen. However, both combinations of PAF/lyso-PCs and lyso-PCs/PAF significantly augmented O2- production and PMN adherence. Furthermore, these enhanced PMN cytotoxic responses significantly caused EC damage. These findings suggest that in the scenario of the two-insult model, early or late transfusion administered following trauma can provoke PMN cytotoxicity via priming or activation, thereby increasing the risk of post-injury MOF.

Abstract
Transfusion-related acute lung injury is seen following the transfusion of blood components. The reported incidence is approximately 1 in 2000 transfusions. Clinically, it is similar to adult respiratory distress syndrome. The pathophysiology is unclear but has been attributed to HLA antibodies, granulocyte antibodies, and more recently to biologically active mediators in stored blood components. We report a case with laboratory evidence that supports the role of biologically active mediators in the pathogenesis of transfusion-related acute lung injury. To our knowledge, the case reported here is the first to use lipid extractions of patient samples to determine that lipid-priming activity was present at the time transfusion-related acute lung injury was identified clinically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood transfusion-particularly that of older stored red blood cells (RBCs)--is an independent risk factor for postinjury multiple organ failure. Immunomodulatory effects of RBC transfusion include neutrophil (PMN) priming for cytotoxicity, an effect exacerbated by longer RBC storage times. We have found that delayed PMN apoptosis in trauma patients is provoked by transfusion, independent of injury severity. We hypothesized that aged stored RBCs delay PMN apoptosis, but that prestorage leukodepletion or poststorage washing could abrogate the effect. METHODS Healthy volunteers each donated 1 unit of blood. One half was leukodepleted, and RBC units were processed in the usual fashion and stored at 4 degrees C. Aliquots were removed on days 1, 14, 21, and 42 and the plasma fraction isolated. Selected aliquots were washed with normal saline before plasma isolation. PMNs harvested from healthy controls were incubated (5% CO2, 37 degrees C) with unmodified, leukoreduced, or washed RBC plasma (20% plasma/80% RPMI 1640), and apoptosis assessed by morphology after 24 hours. Apoptotic index (apoptotic PMNs/total PMNs) was compared. PMN priming for superoxide release was also assessed after plasma exposure. RESULTS PMN apoptosis was delayed by RBCs stored for 21 or 42 days. Prestorage leukodepletion did not alter the effect. However, washing 42-day-old RBCs abrogated the effect. PMN priming for superoxide was provoked by stored packed RBCs in an identical pattern to delayed apoptosis. CONCLUSION Plasma from stored RBCs-even if leukoreduced-delays apoptosis and primes PMNs. The effect becomes evident at 21 days and worsens through product outdate (42 days), but may be prevented by poststorage washing. Inflammatory agents contaminating stored blood likely mediate the effect. Modification of transfusion practices (e.g., giving fresher or washed RBCs or blood substitutes) may attenuate adverse immunomodulatory effects of transfusion in trauma patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resuscitation with oxygen-carrying fluids is critically important in the patient with hemorrhagic shock caused by trauma. However, it is clear that a number of biologic mediators present in stored blood (packed red blood cells [PRBCs]) have the potential to exacerbate early postinjury hyperinflammation and multiple organ failure through priming of circulating neutrophils (PMNs). PolyHeme (Northfield Laboratories, Evanston, IL), a hemoglobin-based substitute that is free of priming agents, provides an alternative. We hypothesized that PMN priming would be attenuated in patients resuscitated with PolyHeme in lieu of stored blood. METHODS Injured patients requiring urgent transfusion were given either PolyHeme (up to 20 units) or PRBCs. Early postinjury PMN priming was measured via beta-2 integrin expression, superoxide production, and elastase release. RESULTS Treatment groups were comparable with respect to extent of injury and early physiologic compromise. PMNs from patients resuscitated with PRBCs showed priming in the early postinjury period by all three measures. No such priming was evident in patients resuscitated with PolyHeme. CONCLUSION The use of a blood substitute in the early postinjury period avoids PMN priming and may thereby provide an avenue to decrease the incidence or severity of postinjury multiple organ failure.

Abstract
Dysfunctional neutrophil (PMN) apoptosis facilitates hyperinflammatory tissue injury. Previous work has demonstrated that post-hemorrhagic shock mesenteric lymph (PHSML) provokes PMN-mediated acute lung injury in animal models, but the mechanism remains unclear. We have documented that the lipid fraction of PHSML is responsible for PMN priming of the respiratory burst. In this study, we hypothesized that PHSML lipids delay PMN apoptosis and thereby further enhance PMN cytotoxic potential. Mesenteric lymph was collected from rats (n = 5) before (control), during non-lethal hemorrhagic shock (MAP 40 mmHg, 30 min), and during resuscitation (shed blood + 2x crystalloid). Human PMNs were incubated with control, PHSML, PHSML lipid extracts, and heat-treated PHSML (60 degrees C, 30 min.) at 1-10% (v:v) in RPMI 1640 for 24 h. Apoptosis was assessed using acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining and fluorescence microscopy. Priming of the respiratory burst was evaluated by incubating PMNs with (a) control PHSML or (b) PHSML lipid extracts for 24 h and by activating with fMLP (1 micromol/L). PHSML and PHSML lipid extracts (5-10%) inhibited PMN apoptosis. Heat denaturing the PHSML (to eliminate cytokines and complement) had no effect on the inhibition of PMN apoptosis. Similarly, incubation with polymixin B at a concentration that binds endotoxin had no effect. Both the PHSML and PHSML lipids (5%) following 24-h incubation primed the fMLP-activated oxidase. At physiologic concentrations, both PHSML and the lipid fraction of PHSML delay PMN apoptosis and prime the NADPH oxidase. These data further implicate the lipid components of mesenteric lymph as central in the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic shock induced PMN-mediated acute lung injury.

Abstract
Priming of the neutrophil cytotoxic response is central to the pathogenesis of early postinjury multiple organ failure (MOF). Platelet-activating factor (PAF) has been implicated as a key inflammatory mediator in postinjury neutrophil priming and requires p38 MAPK signaling to produce its biologic effects. Hypertonic saline (HTS) resuscitation decreases the postinjury inflammatory response following shock in animals and decreases receptor-mediated neutrophil (PMN) cytotoxic functions in vitro. We hypothesized that HTS attenuates PAF priming of the PMN cytotoxic response by interfering with PAF-mediated p38 MAPK signal transduction. Isolated PMNs were preincubated in isotonic buffer or HTS (Na+ = 180 mM), then primed with PAF. Neutrophil CD11b/CD18 expression was measured by flow cytometry. Receptor-dependent (fMLP), N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, fMLP) and receptor-independent (PMA) O2- production was measured by reduction of cytochrome c in resting and PAF primed PMNs. Total p38 MAPK protein PAF-mediated p38 MAPK activation was assessed by western blot of PMN lysates. Clinically relevant levels of HTS attenuated PAF-mediated beta2-integrin expression. While HTS attenuated receptor-dependent (fMLP and PAF/fMLP) O2- production, receptor-independent (PMA) O2- production was unaffected. Conversely, HTS attenuated PAF priming of PMA-mediated O2- production. PAF and HTS did not alter total cellular p38 MAPK content. Clinically relevant levels of HTS alone did not activate p38 MAPK but inhibited PAF mediated p38 MAPK activation. HTS attenuates PAF priming of the PMN cytotoxic response by altering intracellular signal transduction. Therefore, HTS resuscitation may attenuate postinjury PMN priming and ultimately the risk of developing MOF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential to modulate the inflammatory response has renewed interest in hypertonic saline (HTS) resuscitation of injured patients. However, the effect of the timing of HTS treatment with respect to polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) priming and activation remains unexplored. We hypothesized that HTS attenuation of PMN functions requires HTS exposure before priming and activation. METHODS Isolated PMN were incubated in HTS (180 mM Na+) before L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine, beta-acetyl-gamma-O-alkyl (PAF)/N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) priming/activation, after priming, or after priming/activation. Superoxide production was measured by the reduction cytochrome c, elastase release by cleavage of AAPV-pNA, and beta2-integrin expression by flow cytometry. RESULTS HTS before priming or activation decreased beta2-integrin expression, superoxide production, and elastase release. In contrast, HTS after priming/activation augmented superoxide production and elastase release. CONCLUSION The timing of HTS is a key variable in the attenuation of PMN cytotoxic functions. Maximal attenuation of cytotoxicity is achieved before priming, whereas HTS exposure after activation augments cytotoxicity.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Neutrophil priming has been implicated in the development of multiple organ failure, although the precise intracellular mechanisms that regulate neutrophil priming remain unclear. Our previous work characterized platelet-activating factor (PAF) priming of human neutrophils for concordant superoxide anion (O2-) generation and elastase degranulation. The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is activated by PAF stimulation. We hypothesized that PAF-induced human neutrophil priming for O2- and elastase release is mediated via the p38 MAPK pathway. DESIGN Isolated neutrophils from 6 human donors were preincubated with the specific p38 MAPK inhibitor SB 203580 (1 micromol/L) or buffer (control) for 30 minutes. Cells were then primed with PAF (200 nmol/L), followed by receptor-dependent (N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, 1 micromol/L) or receptor-independent phorbol myristate acetate (PMA, 100 ng/mL) activation. SETTING Urban trauma research laboratory. PATIENTS Healthy volunteer donors of neutrophils. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Maximal rate of O2- generation was measured by superoxide dismutase-inhibitable reduction of cytochrome c and elastase release by the cleavage of N-methoxysuccinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-p-nitroanilide. RESULTS SB 203580 significantly attenuated the generation of O2- and release of elastase from neutrophils activated with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine but not with PMA. Independent of the activator receptor status, SB 203580 almost completely blocked the exaggerated neutrophil cytotoxic response due to PAF priming. CONCLUSIONS The p38 MAPK pathway is required for maximal PAF-induced neutrophil priming for O2- production and elastase degranulation. Therefore, the MAPK signaling cascade may offer a potential therapeutic strategy to preempt global neutrophil hyperactivity rather than attempt to nullify the end products independently.

Abstract
Packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion has been invoked previously with immunosuppression and increased infections, but it has now been demonstrated that stored PRBCs (>14 days) can prime PMNs and provoke multiple organ failure. Recently, the role of PMNs in the genesis of MOF has been extended to their release of inflammatory cytokines, notably IL-1, IL-8, TNFalpha, and secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2). We hypothesize that stored PRBCs can act as a second event via stimulating the release of inflammatory cytokines from PMNs. Isolated human PMNs were incubated for 24 h in RPMI with either 20% fresh plasma or plasma from 42 day old PRBC (day of outdate) and release of IL-8, IL-1beta, TNFalpha, and sPLA2 were measured. Plasma from stored PRBCs contained small amounts of IL-8, sPLA2, and TNFalpha (102.1 +/-5.6 pg/ml, 87.6+/-6.0 pg/ml and 9.7+/-.7 pg/ml). Levels of IL-1beta were below detection (<1 pg/ml). Day 42 PRBC plasma stimulated significant PMN release of both IL-8 and sPLA2 as compared to both control and day 0 plasma (*P < .05), but PRBC plasma did not stimulate PMN release of either IL-1beta or TNFalpha. Transfused blood is emerging as an inflammatory agent that is capable of producing PMN priming. In this study we have demonstrated that PRBC plasma selectively activates PMNs to release both IL-8 and sPLA2. Thus, transfusion of PRBCs may represent a preventable inflammatory insult via modification of both blood banking and transfusion practices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neutrophil (PMN) priming after hemorrhagic shock is predictive of the subsequent development of multiple organ failure, but the mechanism remains unknown. Recently, we and others have demonstrated that mesenteric lymph from shock animals resuscitated with lactated Ringer's solution (LR) is not only a potent PMN priming agent but also causes lung injury. Work by others has shown that resuscitation with hypertonic saline (HTS) protects animals from lung injury after hemorrhagic shock. Therefore, we hypothesize that resuscitation with HTS will abolish PMN priming by postshock mesenteric lymph. METHODS After mesenteric lymph duct catheterization, male rats underwent hemorrhagic shock (mean arterial pressure of 40 mm Hg for 90 minutes) and resuscitation with shed blood plus either LR (2x volume of shed blood) or 4 mL/kg of 7% HTS (isonatremic). Priming for superoxide by PMN was measured after fMLP (1 microM) activation. RESULTS Shock significantly decreased mesenteric lymph flow from preshock levels in both groups. LR resuscitation produced significantly more mesenteric lymph than HTS resuscitation. Mesenteric lymph from LR animals primed PMN for superoxide production, whereas, HTS eliminated this priming. CONCLUSION HTS not only decreases postshock mesenteric lymph production, it eliminates PMN priming by mesenteric lymph, suggesting a mechanism for the beneficial effects of HTS resuscitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood transfusion has repeatedly been demonstrated to be an independent risk factor for postinjury multiple organ failure (MOF). Previously believed to represent a surrogate for shock, packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion has recently been shown to result in neutrophil priming and pulmonary endothelial cell activation. We have previously observed that the generation of inflammatory mediators is related to the length of PRBC unit storage. The purpose of this study was to determine if age of transfused PRBC is a risk factor for the development of postinjury MOF. METHODS Using our prospective database of trauma patients at risk for developing MOF, we identified patients who developed MOF (MOF+) and received 6 to 20 units of PRBCs in the first 12 hours following injury. A similar cohort of patients, matched for ISS and transfusion requirement, who did not develop MOF (MOF-) were also identified. The age of each unit of PRBC transfused in the first 6 hours was determined. Multiple logistic regression was performed to determine if age of transfused blood is an independent risk factor. RESULTS Sixty-three patients were identified, 23 of whom were MOF+. There was no difference in ISS and transfusion requirement between MOF+ and MOF- groups. MOF+ patients, however, were significantly older (46+/-4.7 years versus 33+/-2.3 years). Moreover, mean age of transfused blood was greater in the MOF+ patients (30.5+/-1.6 days versus 24+/-0.5 days). Similarly, the mean number of units older than 14 and 21 days old were greater in the MOF+ patients. Multivariate analysis identified mean age of blood, number of units older than 14 days, and number of units older than 21 days as independent risk factors for MOF. CONCLUSION The age of transfused PRBCs transfused in the first 6 hours is an independent risk factor for postinjury MOF. This suggests that current blood bank processing and storage technique should be reexamined. Moreover, fresh blood may be more appropriate for the initial resuscitation of trauma patients requiring transfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory stimuli rapidly activate mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in neutrophils (PMNs). However, their role in cytotoxic function remains unknown. Elucidating the signals involved in release of cytotoxic agents from PMNs may provide new avenues for therapy in diseases of diminished or excessive PMN function. HYPOTHESIS The p38 MAPK and extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) modulate superoxide generation and elastase release in activated human PMNs. STUDY DESIGN Isolated human PMNs were incubated with specific inhibitors of MAPK pathways, or vehicle control solution, before activation with the bacterial peptide f-Met-Leu-Phe. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The rate of superoxide release from activated PMNs was measured by the superoxide dismutase-inhibitable reduction of cytochrome-c. Elastase release from PMNs was determined by cleavage of the substrate Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-pNA. RESULTS Superoxide release from activated PMNs was inhibited by blockade of p38 MAPK activation but unaffected by blockade of ERK1/2. Conversely, elastase release was unaffected by p38 MAPK inhibition and increased by ERK1/2 inhibition. CONCLUSIONS Activation of p38 MAPK promotes superoxide release from PMNs activated by f-Met-Leu-Phe. The ERK1/2 pathway may serve as a negative feedback mechanism for granule exocytosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and these patients are recognized to be at increased risk for delayed infectious complications. We have documented that circulating neutrophils (PMNs) from patients manifesting SIRS have evidence of early postinjury priming for cytotoxicity. Consequently, we hypothesized that CPB would result in early postoperative PMN hyperresponsiveness (priming). MATERIALS AND METHODS Six patients (mean age 50 +/- 2.9 years) who underwent CPB for CABG had sequential blood samples obtained perioperatively. PMNs were isolated and superoxide anion (O(-)(2)) generation (nmol O(-)(2)/3.75 x 10(5) PMNs/min) was measured by reduction of cytochrome c after exposure to fMLP, C5a, or PMA; elastase release (% total PMN elastase content) was measured by cleavage of AAPV-pNA after exposure to fMLP or C5a. RESULTS PMNs were activated for increased elastase release 6 h after initiation of CPB. Significant PMN priming for O(-)(2) production was discovered at 3, 6, and 12 h following CPB and for elastase release at 3 and 6 h after CPB. At 2 to 3 days after CPB, O(-)(2) generation was significantly less than that of the preoperative control. Neutrophil primability with PAF was detected at 6 h after CPB. A similar defect in PAF-primable O(-)(2) production was seen 2 and 3 days post-CPB. Direct PMN interrogation with the receptor-independent activator PMA revealed loss of integrity of the NADPH oxidase at 2 and 3 days following CPB. CONCLUSIONS A vulnerable window exists between 3 and 12 h after CPB when PMNs are primed for enhanced cytotoxicity via O(-)(2) production and elastase release. Paradoxically, PMN oxidase integrity becomes deficient 48 h post-CPB, while protease degranulation remains intact. These events render the bypass patient at risk for multiple organ failure via both early PMN-mediated tissue injury and delayed infectious complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postinjury multiple organ failure (MOF) is the result of a dysregulated systemic inflammatory response in which primed neutrophils (PMNs) are sequestered in tissues, vulnerable to activation through secondary insults. Apoptosis is critical to the normal clearance of these sequestered PMNs. Conversely, dysfunctional apoptosis prolongs the PMN functional life span, potentially exacerbating PMN-mediated tissue injury and the development of MOF. We hypothesized that severe trauma, in addition to priming PMNs, provokes dysfunctional PMN apoptosis. METHODS Neutrophils were harvested daily from 12 severely injured patients at high risk for MOF, cultured for 24 hours, and assessed for apoptosis with use of acridine orange-ethidium bromide staining and fluorescence microscopy. Priming for elastase release was measured in freshly isolated patient PMNs. Plasma from patients was assessed for its ability to delay apoptosis of normal PMNs. RESULTS Four patients (33%) had MOF. Neutrophil apoptosis was profoundly delayed in severely injured patients throughout the 5-day study period. Priming for elastase release was augmented concomitantly. Patients' plasma delayed apoptosis of normal PMNs. CONCLUSION In patients at high risk for postinjury MOF, PMNs are not only primed for cytotoxicity but also resist apoptosis. The dysfunctional apoptosis is attributed, at least in part, to a plasma-borne mediator. The net effect may facilitate hyperinflammatory organ injury.
