Abstract Bacterial infection and excessive inflammation following abdominal injury can cause life‐threatening complications that lead to multiple organ failure death. Removing bacteria proinflammatory factors—which are predominantly negatively charged—from the wound site with a cationic, antibiotic‐containing hydrogel dressing is therefore promising treatment approach for severe trauma. Here an injectable, self‐healing composed of gel‐forming glycosaminoglycan oxidized chondroitin sulfate (OCS), cationic polyethylenimine (PEI), antibiotic tobramycin (Tob) via Schiff's base reaction developed. Compared hydrogels lacking either PEI or Tob, only Tob/PEI/OCS exhibit large binding capacity negatively‐charged factors including cell‐free DNA, lipopolysaccharides, TNF‐α, high mobility group box 1 protein, reduction in bacterial populations vitro. In murine model trauma, exhibits good biodegradability biosafety, reduced local systemic infection, prevents failure, resulting 100% survival. This thus biomaterial preventing improving outcomes

Recognizing the importance of leukocyte trafficking in inflammation led to some therapeutic breakthroughs. However, many inflammatory pathologies remain without specific therapy. This review discusses leukocytes context sterile inflammation, a process caused by (non-microbial) molecules, comprising damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). DAMPs bind receptors activate and start highly optimized sequence immune cell recruitment neutrophils monocytes initiate effective tissue repair. When are cleared, recruited change from proinflammatory reparative program, switch that is locally supervised invariant natural killer T cells. In addition, exit site reverse transmigrate back bloodstream. Inflammation persists when program or transmigration fails, coordinated effort cannot clear immunostimulatory molecules. The latter causes inappropriate activation, driver associated with poor lifestyle choices. We discuss lifestyle-associated diseases their corresponding (LAMPs) distinguish them DAMPs.

Trauma remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Hemorrhagic shock and direct injury to vital organs are responsible for early mortality whereas most delayed deaths secondary complex pathophysiological processes. These processes result from imbalanced systemic reactions the multiple aggressions associated with trauma. results in uncontrolled local release endogenous mediators acting as danger signals (damage-associated molecular patterns; DAMPs). Their recognition by innate immune system triggers pro-inflammatory response paradoxically concomitant immunosuppression. responses, ranging intensity inappropriate overwhelming, promote propagation injuries remote organs, organ failure death. Some numerous DAMPs released after trauma trigger assembly intracellular multiprotein complexes named inflammasomes. Once activated ligand, inflammasomes lead activation caspase. Activated caspases allow mature forms interleukin-1β interleukin-18 specific cell termed pyroptosis.

The immune system is an evolutionary hallmark of higher organisms that defends the host against invading pathogens and exogenous infections. This defense includes recruitment cells to site infection initiation inflammatory response contain eliminate pathogens. However, may also be triggered by noninfectious stimuli such as major surgery, and, in case overshooting, still not comprehensively understood reaction, lead tissue destruction organ dysfunction. Unfortunately, some cases, effectively distinguish between elicited which ideally should only require a modest response, those trauma or pathogenic infection. Surgical procedures thus represent potential trigger for systemic inflammation causes secretion proinflammatory cytokines, endothelial dysfunction, glycocalyx damage, activation neutrophils, ultimately multisystem destruction.

Abstract In 1994, the “danger model” argued that adaptive immune responses are driven rather by molecules released upon tissue damage than recognition of “strange” molecules. Thus, an alternative to “self versus non-self has been provided.

It contributes to organ development, such sculpting neuron synapses, promoting tissue regeneration and repair, rapidly engaging synergizing with number processes, including hemostasis leading thromboinflammation. double-edged sword.

The heightened risk of ionizing radiation exposure, stemming from accidents and potential acts terrorism, has spurred growing interests in devising effective countermeasures against injury. High-dose exposure triggers acute syndrome (ARS), manifesting as hematopoietic, gastrointestinal, neurovascular ARS. Hematopoietic ARS typically presents with neutropenia thrombocytopenia, while gastrointestinal results intestinal mucosal injury, often culminating lethal sepsis bleeding. This deleterious impact can be attributed to radiation-induced DNA damage oxidative stress, leading various forms cell death, such apoptosis, necrosis ferroptosis. Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are intrinsic molecules released by cells undergoing injury or the process dying, either through passive active pathways. These then interact pattern recognition receptors, triggering inflammatory responses. Such a cascade events ultimately further tissue organ damage, contributing elevated mortality rate. Notably, infection develop cases, increasing release DAMPs. Given that stands major contributor ARS, DAMPs hold function mediators, exacerbating consequently worsening overall survival. review describes intricate mechanisms underlying Furthermore, it discusses detrimental effects on immune system explores DAMP-targeting therapeutic strategies alleviate

Abstract Background C-reactive protein (CRP) represents a routine diagnostic marker of inflammation. Dissociation native pentameric CRP (pCRP) into the monomeric structure (mCRP) liberates proinflammatory features, presumably contributing to excessive immune cell activation via unknown molecular mechanisms. Results In multi-translational study systemic inflammation, we found time- and inflammation-dependent pCRP dissociation mCRP. We were able confirm that mCRP co-localizes with leukocytes at site injury after polytrauma therefore assessed whether conformation potentiates neutrophil activation. mCRP-induced neutrophil-extracellular trap formation in vitro ex vivo involving nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase activation, p38/mitogen-activated kinase signaling, histone H3 citrullination. Mimicking trauma milieu human whole blood model, significant generation as well NET formation, prevented by blocking conformational changes.
