Different experimental multiple trauma models induce comparable inflammation and organ injury

Abstract

Multiple injuries appear to be a decisive factor for experimental polytrauma. Therefore, our aim was to compare the inflammatory response and organ damage of five different monotrauma with three multiple trauma models. For this, mice were randomly assigned to 10 groups: Healthy control (Ctrl), Sham, hemorrhagic shock (HS), thoracic trauma (TxT), osteotomy with external fixation (Fx), bilateral soft tissue trauma (bsTT) or laparotomy (Lap); polytrauma I (PT I, TxT + HS + Fx), PT II (TxT + HS + Fx + Lap) and one multi-trauma group (MT, TxT + HS + bsTT + Lap). The inflammatory response and organ damage were quantified at 6 h by analyses of IL-6, IL-1β, IL-10, CXCL1, SAA1, HMGB1 and organ injury. Systemic IL-6 increased in all mono and multiple trauma groups, while CXCL1 increased only in HS, PT I, PT II and MT vs. control. Local inflammatory response was most prominent in HS, PT I, PT II and MT in the liver. Infiltration of inflammatory cells into lung and liver was significant in all multiple trauma groups vs. controls. Hepatic and pulmonary injury was prominent in HS, PT I, PT II and MT groups. These experimental multiple trauma models closely mimic the early post-traumatic inflammatory response in human. Though, the choice of read-out parameters is very important for therapeutic immune modulatory approaches.

Acute Intoxication With Alcohol Reduces Trauma-Induced Proinflammatory Response and Barrier Breakdown in the Lung via the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway

“…Prior studies have shown that severe trauma causes damage to trauma-remote organs such as lungs or liver, mainly by an uncontrolled systemic and local proinflammatory response ( 4 – 6 ). Zhang et al.…”

“…Femur fracture in particular can induce remote organ complications, especially in the lungs ( 4 ). Lung and remote lung injury (RLI), a common complication after surgical procedures post-trauma, have also been shown in the combinatory model of femur fracture accompanied by hemorrhage (THFx) in mice ( 5 , 6 ). Many inflammatory pathways and mediators including cytokines and other damage-associated molecular patterns were found to be important triggers for the development of lung injury.…”

Dynamics of neurospecific autoimmune disorders and cognitive functions in patients with polytrauma and alcohol withdrawal syndrome complicated by alcohol delirium

“…Травма є однією з провідних причин смерті в усіх вікових групах у всьому світі. Незважаючи на значні вдосконалення хірургічних стратегій, а також інтенсивної терапії пацієнтів із політравмами, показники смертності та інвалідності все ще залишаються високими [7,11]. Підвищений рівень алкоголю в крові пов'язаний майже з усіма видами та механізмами травм, включаючи падіння, аварії на велосипеді, автотранспортні аварії, травми голови [8].…”

New Time-Related Insights into an Old Laboratory Parameter: Early CRP Discovered by IBM Watson Trauma Pathway Explorer© as a Predictor for Sepsis in Polytrauma Patients

“…Overwhelming systemic inflammatory reactions, both polytrauma-triggered and/or microbial triggered, contribute to an adverse outcome not only physiologically but also lowering the operative success, especially in the field of trauma [ 1 , 2 ]. The damage control concept in the treatment of polytrauma patients takes account to avoid infectious and inflammatory complications but cannot be monitored in any way.…”
