Blast injuries are an increasing problem in both military and civilian practice. Primary blast injury to the lungs (blast lung) is found in a clinically significant proportion of casualties from explosions even in an open environment, and in a high proportion of severely injured casualties following explosions in confined spaces. Blast casualties also commonly suffer secondary and tertiary blast injuries resulting in significant blood loss. The presence of hypoxaemia owing to blast lung complicates the process of fluid resuscitation. Consequently, prolonged hypotensive resuscitation was found to be incompatible with survival after combined blast lung and haemorrhage. This article describes studies addressing new forward resuscitation strategies involving a hybrid blood pressure profile (initially hypotensive followed later by normotensive resuscitation) and the use of supplemental oxygen to increase survival and reduce physiological deterioration during prolonged resuscitation. Surprisingly, hypertonic saline dextran was found to be inferior to normal saline after combined blast injury and haemorrhage. New strategies have therefore been developed to address the needs of blast-injured casualties and are likely to be particularly useful under circumstances of enforced delayed evacuation to surgical care. 相似文献

This work focuses on the development of a surrogate lung material (SLM) that reproduces the dynamic response of a human lung under various loading conditions and also allows for the analysis of the extent and distribution of damage. The SLM consists of polyurethane foam used to mimic the spongy lung tissue and fluid-filled gelatine microcapsules used to simulate the damage of alveoli.The bursting pressure of the microcapsules was investigated by conducting low and high rate compression tests on single microcapsules. A bursting pressure of around 5 bar was measured which is comparable to the reported lung overpressure at injury level.Low and high rate compression tests were conducted on the SLMs. From the measured mechanical properties and mass density, the stress wave speed was calculated and found to be well in the range of the reported values for human lungs (16–70 m/s).In order to study the extent and distribution of damage in the SLMs, as represented by burst microcapsules, a CT scan analysis was carried out before and after the impacts. The CT scan results clearly demonstrated the magnitude and distribution of damage within the specimen. The results are then compared to the Bowen curves, the most often used criteria for predicting blast injuries in humans. An excellent agreement was found between the observed damage in the surrogate lungs and the expected damage in real human lungs.In general, the SLM showed similar stress wave speed, bursting pressure and damage to that of the real lungs. 相似文献

Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) was found to attenuate ventilator or oleic acid induced lung injury. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of exogenous H2S donor, sodium Hydrosulphide (NaHS), on lung injury following blast limb trauma and the underlying mechanisms. For in vitro experiments, pulmonary micro-vessel endothelial cells (PMVECs) were cultured and treated with NaHS or vehicle in the presence of TNF-α. For in vivo, blast limb traumatic rats, induced by using chartaceous electricity detonators, were randomly treated with NaHS, cystathionine gamma-lyase inhibitor (PAG) or vehicle. In vitro, NaHS (100 µM) treatment increased PMVECs viability and decreased LDH release into culture media after tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α challenge. In addition, NaHS treatment prevented the increase of nitric oxide, Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1(ICAM-1) and interleukin (IL)-6 production and inducible nitric oxide synthase activation induced by TNF-α. Knock-down of NF-E2-Related Factor 2 (Nrf2) partially abolished the protective effect of NaHS. In vivo, NaHS treatment significantly alleviated lung injury following blast limb trauma, demonstrated by a decreased histopathological score and lung water content. Furthermore, NaHS treatment reversed the decrease of H2S concentration in plasma, prevented the increase of TNF-α, IL-6, malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase, increased the Nrf2 downstream effector glutathione in both plasma and lungs, and reversed the decrease of superoxide dismutase in both plasma and lungs induced by blast limb trauma. Our data indicated that NaHS protects against lung injury following blast limb trauma which is likely associated with suppression of the inflammatory and oxidative response and activation of Nrf2 cellular signal. 相似文献

A key role of neurokinin 1 receptors in acute pancreatitis and associated lung injury 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Earlier studies have shown that mice deficient in NK1 receptors or its ligand, substance P, are protected against acute pancreatitis and associated lung injury. In the current study, the protective effect of NK1 receptor blockage against acute pancreatitis and associated lung injury was investigated, using a specific receptor antagonist, CP-96345. Acute pancreatitis was induced in mice by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of caerulein. Substance P levels in plasma, pancreas, and lungs were found to be elevated in a caerulein dose-dependent manner. Mice treated with CP-96345, either prophylactically, or therapeutically, were protected against acute pancreatitis and associated lung injury as evident by attenuation in plasma amylase, pancreatic and pulmonary myeloperoxidase activities, and histological evidence of pancreatic and pulmonary injuries. Pulmonary microvascular permeability was also reduced as a result of CP-96345 treatment. These results point to a key role of NK1 receptors in acute pancreatitis and associated lung injury. 相似文献

Historically, blast overpressure is known to affect primarily gas-containing organs such as the lung and ear. More recent interests focus on its ability to cause damage to solid organs such as the brain, resulting in neurological disorders. Returning veterans exposed to blast but without external injuries are being diagnosed with mild traumatic brain injury (Warden 2006) and with cortical dysfunction (Cernak et al 1999). Decades of studies have been conducted to elucidate the effects of primary blast wave on the central nervous system. These studies were mostly concerned with systemic effects (Saljo et al 2000-2003; Kaur et al 1995-1997, 1999; Cernak et al 1996, 2001). The molecular mechanism of blast-induced neurotrauma is still poorly understood. This paper reviews studies related to primary blast injury to the nervous system, particularly at the cellular level. It starts with a general discussion of primary blast injury and blast wave physics, followed by a review of the literature related to 1) the blast wave/body interaction, 2) injuries to the peripheral nervous system, 3) injuries to the central nervous system, and 4) injury criteria. Finally, some of our preliminary data on cellular injury from in vitro and in vivo studies are presented. Specifically, we report on the effects of overpressure on astrocytes. In the discussion, possible mechanisms of blast-related brain injury are discussed, as well as the concerns and limitations of the published studies. A clearer understanding of the injury mechanisms at both the molecular and macroscopic (organ) level will lead to the development of new treatment, diagnosis and preventive measures. 相似文献

We present a method for identifying biomarkers in human lung injury. The method is based on high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy applied to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) collected from lungs of critically ill patients. This biological fluid can be obtained by bronchoscopic and non-bronchoscopic methods. The type of lung injury in acute respiratory failure presenting as acute lung injury (ALI) and its severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), continues to challenge critical care physicians. We characterize different metabolites in BAL fluid by non-bronchoscopic method (mBALF) for better diagnosis and understanding of ALI/ARDS by NMR spectroscopy. NMR spectra of mBALF collected from 30 patients (9 controls, 10 ARDS and 11 ALI) were analyzed for the identification of biomarkers. Statistical methods such as principal components analysis and partial least square discriminant analysis were carried out on 1H NMR spectrum of mBALF to identify biomarker responsible for separation among different lung injuries classes (ALI and ARDS) and normal lungs. The corresponding correlation of biomarkers with metabolic cycle has given insight into metabolism of lung injuries in critically ill patients. Our study shows statistically significant differentiation of various metabolites concentration in mBALF collected from lungs of ALI, ARDS and healthy control patients, making NMR spectroscopy as a possible new method of characterizing human lung injury. 相似文献

Background
Glutamate is a major neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). Large amount of glutamate can overstimulate N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), causing neuronal injury and death. Recently, NMDAR has been reported to be found in the lungs. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of memantine, a NMDAR channel blocker, on bleomycin-induced lung injury mice.Methods
C57BL/6 mice were intratracheally injected with bleomycin (BLM) to induce lung injury. Mice were randomized to receive saline, memantine (Me), BLM, BLM plus Me. Lungs and BALF were harvested on day 3 or 7 for further evaluation.Results
BLM caused leukocyte infiltration, pulmonary edema and increase in cytokines, and imposed significant oxidative stress (MDA as a marker) in lungs. Memantine significantly mitigated the oxidative stress, lung inflammatory response and acute lung injury caused by BLM. Moreover, activation of NMDAR enhances CD11b expression on neutrophils.Conclusions
Memantine mitigates oxidative stress, lung inflammatory response and acute lung injury in BLM challenged mice. 相似文献10.

Blast pulmonary trauma are common consequences of modern war and terrorism action. To better protect soldiers from that threat, the injury risk level when protected and unprotected must be assessed. Knowing from the literature that a possible amplification of the blast threat would be provided by some thoracic protective systems, the objective is to propose an original approach to correlate a measurable parameter on a manikin with a pulmonary risk level. Using a manikin whose response is correlated with the proposed tolerance limits should help in the evaluation of thoracic protective system regarding injury outcomes.A database including lung injury data from large mammals have been created, allowing the definition of iso-impulse tolerance limits from no lung injury to severe ones (∼60% of ecchymosis). As the use of this metric is not sufficient to evaluate the performance of protective systems on a manikin, the iso-impulse tolerance limits were associated with the thoracic response of post-mortem swine under blast loading. It was found that the lung injury threshold in terms of incident impulse is 58.3 kPa·ms, corresponding to a chest wall peak of acceleration/velocity/displacement of 7350 m/s2, 3.7 m/s and 6.4 mm respectively. Lung injuries are considered as severe (30–60% of ecchymosis) when the incident impulse exceed 232.8 kPa·ms, leading to a chest wall peak of acceleration/velocity/displacement of 79.7 km/s2, 14.7 m/s and 30.1 mm respectively.The defined lung tolerance limits are valid for a 50 kg swine (unprotected) exposed side-on to the blast threat and against a wall. 相似文献

Blast injuries are becoming increasingly common in military conflicts as the nature of combat changes from conventional to asymmetrical warfare and counter-insurgency. This article describes a retrospective database review of cases from the UK joint theatre trauma registry from 2003 to 2009, containing details of over 3000 patients, mainly injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. During this period, 1678 patients were injured by explosion of whom 113 had evidence of blast lung injury. Of the 50 patients who survived to reach a medical facility, 80 per cent required ventilatory support. Injuries caused by explosion are increasing when compared with those caused by other mechanisms, and blast lung represents a significant clinical problem in a deployed military setting. Management of these patients should be optimized from point of wounding to definitive care. 相似文献

冲击波负压对大鼠肺致伤效应的初步观察 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
观察了不同的冲击波负压峰值对大鼠肺的影响。各种条件下的冲击波负压值可由负压发生装置来模拟调节,这种装置可满足化爆、核爆和爆炸性减压下负压参数的一般要求,参数稳定,重复性好。冲击波负压峰值范围为-13~-90kPa,下降时间为1~90ms,持续时间为14~2 000ms。6组Wistar系大鼠,分别暴露在-47.2~-84.0kPa的冲击波负压环境中,伤后立即解剖动物,重点观察肺伤情。实验结果显示,在上述冲击波负压环境中,肺可出现从无伤至极重度伤;出血、充血以及肺表面压痕酷似肺冲击伤的病理表现。随着冲击波负压峰值的变化,各组肺伤情亦随着变化,冲击波负压峰值(△P)和减压倍数(P_i/P_a)分别与肺出血面积和动物死亡率相关显著或非常显著。本实验提示,一定条件下的冲击波负压具有明显的致伤作用,且伤情变化范围与超压所致肺伤情变化范围相同,超压和冲击波负压在一定条件下可通过伤情指标等效。 相似文献

Peripheral nerve injury has remained a substantial clinical complication with no satisfactory treatment options.Despite the great development in the field ofmicrosurgery,some severe types of neural injuries cannot be treated without causing tension to the injured nerve.Thus current studies have focused on the new approaches for the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries.Stem cells with the ability to differentiate into a variety of cell types have brought a new perspective to this matter.In this review,we will discuss the use of three main sources of mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. 相似文献

We previously reported that ultraviolet light B (UVB)-treated human platelets (hPLTs) can cause acute lung injury (ALI) in a two-event SCID mouse model in which the predisposing event was Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection and the second event was infusion of UVB-treated hPLTs. To delineate contributions of host mouse platelets (mPLTs) and neutrophils in the pathogenesis of ALI in this mouse model, we depleted mPLTs or neutrophils and measured hPLT accumulation in the lung. We also assessed lung injury by protein content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). LPS injection followed by infusion of UVB-treated hPLTs resulted in sequestration of both mPLTs and hPLTs in the lungs of SCID mice, although the numbers of neutrophils in the lung were not significantly different from the control group. Depletion of mouse neutrophils caused only a mild reduction in UVB-hPLTs accumulation in the lungs and a mild reduction in protein content in BALF. In comparison, depletion of mPLTs almost completely abolished hPLTs accumulation in the lung and significantly reduced protein content in BALF. UVB-treated hPLTs bound to host mPLTs, but did not bind to neutrophils in the lung. Aspirin treatment of hPLTs in vitro abolished hPLT accumulation in the lung and protected mice from lung injury. Our data indicate that host mPLTs accumulated in the lungs in response to an inflammatory challenge and subsequently mediated the attachment of transfused UVB-hPLTs. Neutrophils also recruited a small percentage of platelets to the lung. These findings may help develop therapeutic strategies for ALI which could potentially result from transfusion of UV illuminated platelets. 相似文献

Iron is an essential requirement for the growth, development, and long term survival of most aerobic organisms. When control over safe iron sequestration is lost or compromised, leading to the release of low molecular mass forms of iron, the heart appears to be particularly sensitive to iron toxicity with cardiomyopathies often developing as a consequence. Iron toxicity, leading to iron-overload, is often treated in humans with the iron chelator desferrioxamine mesylate. Such treatment regimens designed to protect the heart can, however, often lead to lung injury and, in fact, several compounds with known iron chelating properties can induce severe lung dysfunction and injury. Based on these clinical observations and our recent laboratory data, we propose that the lungs actively accumulate reactive forms of iron for use in cellular growth and proliferation, and for the oxidative destruction of microbes, whereas the heart responds in the opposite way by actively removing iron which it finds extremely toxic. 相似文献

The new coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), which emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, has reached worldwide pandemic proportions, causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 vary from an asymptomatic disease course to clinical symptoms of acute respiratory distress syndrome and severe pneumonia. The lungs are the primary organ affected by SARS-CoV-2, with a very slow turnover for renewal. SARS-CoV-2 enters the lungs via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors and induces an immune response with the accumulation of immunocompetent cells, causing a cytokine storm, which leads to target organ injury and subsequent dysfunction. To date, there is no effective antiviral therapy for COVID-19 patients, and therapeutic strategies are based on experience treating previously recognized coronaviruses. In search of new treatment modalities of COVID-19, cell-based therapy with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and/or their secretome, such as soluble bioactive factors and extracellular vesicles, is considered supportive therapy for critically ill patients. Multipotent MSCs are able to differentiate into different types of cells of mesenchymal origin, including alveolar epithelial cells, lung epithelial cells, and vascular endothelial cells, which are severely damaged in the course of COVID-19 disease. Moreover, MSCs secrete a variety of bioactive factors that can be applied for respiratory tract regeneration in COVID-19 patients thanks to their trophic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-apoptotic, pro-regenerative, and proangiogenic properties. 相似文献

We induced mild blunt and blast injuries in rats using a custom-built device and utilized in-house diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) software to reconstruct 3-D fiber tracts in brains before and after injury (1, 4, and 7 days). DTI measures such as fiber count, fiber length, and fractional anisotropy (FA) were selected to characterize axonal integrity. In-house image analysis software also showed changes in parameters including the area fraction (AF) and nearest neighbor distance (NND), which corresponded to variations in the microstructure of Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) brain sections. Both blunt and blast injuries produced lower fiber counts, but neither injury case significantly changed the fiber length. Compared to controls, blunt injury produced a lower FA, which may correspond to an early onset of diffuse axonal injury (DAI). However, blast injury generated a higher FA compared to controls. This increase in FA has been linked previously to various phenomena including edema, neuroplasticity, and even recovery. Subsequent image analysis revealed that both blunt and blast injuries produced a significantly higher AF and significantly lower NND, which correlated to voids formed by the reduced fluid retention within injured axons. In conclusion, DTI can detect subtle pathophysiological changes in axonal fiber structure after mild blunt and blast trauma. Our injury model and DTI method provide a practical basis for studying mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in a controllable manner and for tracking injury progression. Knowledge gained from our approach could lead to enhanced mTBI diagnoses, biofidelic constitutive brain models, and specialized pharmaceutical treatments. 相似文献

High tidal volume (HV(T)) ventilation causes pulmonary endothelial barrier dysfunction. HV(T) ventilation also increases lung nitric oxide (NO) and cGMP. NO contributes to HV(T) lung injury, but the role of cGMP is unknown. In the current study, ventilation of isolated C57BL/6 mouse lungs increased perfusate cGMP as a function of V(T). Ventilation with 20 ml/kg V(T) for 80 min increased the filtration coefficient (K(f)), an index of vascular permeability. The increased cGMP and K(f) caused by HV(T) were attenuated by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition and in lungs from endothelial NOS knockout mice. Inhibition of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) in wild-type lungs (10 muM ODQ) also blocked cGMP generation and inhibited the increase in K(f), suggesting an injurious role for sGC-derived cGMP. sGC inhibition also attenuated lung Evans blue dye albumin extravasation and wet-to-dry weight ratio in an anesthetized mouse model of HV(T) injury. Additional activation of sGC (1.5 muM BAY 41-2272) in isolated lungs at 40 min increased cGMP production and K(f) in lungs ventilated with 15 ml/kg V(T). HV(T) endothelial barrier dysfunction was attenuated with a nonspecific phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor (100 muM IBMX) as well as an inhibitor (10 muM BAY 60-7550) specific for the cGMP-stimulated PDE2A. Concordantly, we found a V(T)-dependent increase in lung cAMP hydrolytic activity and PDE2A protein expression with a decrease in lung cAMP concentration that was blocked by BAY 60-7550. We conclude that HV(T)-induced endothelial barrier dysfunction resulted from a simultaneous increase in NO/sGC-derived cGMP and PDE2A expression causing decreased cAMP. 相似文献
