Evaluation of Cytokine Dynamics in Patients With Multiple and Concomitant Closed Chest Injuries

Abstract

Aim of the study. An actual problem of the modern approach to the management of patients in the post-traumatic period with the aim of predicting, preventing and treating complications of post-traumatic pneumonia is the assessment of the dynamics of the cytokine profile in this period.Material and methods. Investigations were carried out at the time of hospitalization prior medical interventions. During the research the following methods were used: clinical, physical, instrumental, follow-up, radiation (MRI, CT, X-Ray), endoscopic, laboratory. Blood was taken from the peripheral vein on the first, third, fifth, seventh and ninth day of hospitalization to determine the interlikin profile. The definition of Proinflammatory cytokines: IL-1, IL-6 and IL-10 in the blood serum performed by ELISA on the immunofermental analyzer Abbott AXSYM using standard kits ProCon (“Protein contour”, St. Petersburg, Russia). Data were processed statistically using Student’s t-test.Results. Analysis of the results of determination of IL-1 in the serum of patients DK showed that in all stages of the disease, in addition to IV, the contents of this cytokine exceeded the control values in varying degrees of severity. While the levels of IL-1 in the serum of patients with the 1ststage of the disease was 4.0 times; stage 2–3.4 times; the third stage is 1.5 times higher than normal. And only in patients with very severe stage of pneumonia contents IL-1 did not differ from the norm. A similar picture was observed when determining the serum content of patients with a very severe stage of pneumonia, and only in contrast to the level of IL-1 in patients with a very severe stage of pneumonia, the IL-6 content remained significantly higher than normal. So, the content of IL-10 in patients with a very severe stage of pneumonia of stage I, II, III and IV of the disease averaged 330.7±24.5, respectively; 210.5±17.3; 123.4±15.3 and 98.5±12.7 pg/ml (in all cases p<0.05). CONCLUSION The results obtained in a comparative study of contents of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-a) in the blood serum showed that the determination of the spectrum of cytokines in peripheral blood, in our opinion, is the most perspective and can be a key marker for early detection of inflammation. Key words: post-traumatic pneumonii, interlikin profile, peripheral blood serum>˂0.05).Conclusion. The results obtained in a comparative study of contents of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-a) in the blood serum showed that the determination of the spectrum of cytokines in peripheral blood, in our opinion, is the most perspective and can be a key marker for early detection of inflammation.

Effects of Damage Control Resuscitation Combined with Alanyl Glutamine on Complications and Survival in Sufferers with Severe Multiple Trauma

“…DCR uses plasma for fluid resuscitation to restore blood volume in the sufferer's blood vessels, which not only maintains stable blood pressure and urine output, corrects metabolic abnormalities, but also regulates the sufferer's coagulation mechanism, breaking hypothermia, acidosis and coagulation. That is to say, the scheme will form a vicious circle between disorders, thereby correcting the disordered physiological environment [29][30][31] . At the same time, the use of DCR can minimize crystalloid infusion, thereby reducing the risk and mortality of traumatic coagulopathy [5,6,32] .…”
