Background. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a proinflammatory lipid mediator correlates well with the acute phase of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Therefore, LTB4-levels were investigated to determine whether they might be a useful clinical marker in predicting pulmonary complications (PC) in multiply traumatized patients. Methods: Plasma levels of LTB4 were determined in 100 patients on admission (ED) and for five consecutive days (daily). Twenty healthy volunteers served as control. LTB4-levels were measured by ELISA. Thirty patients developed PC (pneumonia, respiratory failure, acute lung injury (ALI), ARDS, pulmonary embolism) and 70 had no PC (ØPC). Results. LTB4-levels in the PC-group [127.8 pg/mL, IQR: 104–200pg/ml] were significantly higher compared to the ØPC-group on admission [95.6 pg/mL, IQR: 55–143 pg/mL] or control-group [58.4 pg/mL, IQR: 36–108 pg/mL]. LTB4 continuously declined to basal levels from day 1 to 5 without differences between the groups. The cutoff to predict PC was calculated at 109.6 pg/mL (72% specificity, 67% sensitivity). LTB4 was not influenced by overall or chest injury severity, age, gender or massive transfusion. Patients with PC received mechanical ventilation for a significantly longer period of time, and had prolonged intensive care unit and overall hospital stay. Conclusion. High LTB4-levels indicate risk for PC development in multiply traumatized patients
Electrical stimulation shifts healing/scarring towards regeneration in a rat limb amputation model
(2019)
Different species respond differently to severe injury, such as limb loss. In species that regenerate, limb loss is met with complete restoration of the limbs’ form and function, whereas in mammals the amputated limb’s stump heals and scars. In in vitro studies, electrical stimulation (EStim) has been shown to promote cell migration, and osteo- and chondrogenesis. In in vivo studies, after limb amputation, EStim causes significant new bone, cartilage and vessel growth. Here, in a rat model, the stumps of amputated rat limbs were exposed to EStim, and we measured extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, macrophage distribution, cell proliferation and gene expression changes at early (3 and 7 days) and later stages (28 days). We found that EStim caused differences in ECM deposition, with less condensed collagen fibrils, and modified macrophage response by changing M1 to M2 macrophage ratio. The number of proliferating cells was increased in EStim treated stumps 7 days after amputation, and transcriptome data strongly supported our histological findings, with activated gene pathways known to play key roles in embryonic development and regeneration. In conclusion, our findings support the hypothesis that EStim shifts injury response from healing/scarring towards regeneration. A better understanding of if and how EStim controls these changes, could lead to strategies that replace scarring with regeneration.
Introduction Loss of intestinal integrity has been implicated as an important contributor to the development of excessive inflammation following severe trauma. Thus far, clinical data concerning the occurrence and significance of intestinal damage after trauma remain scarce. This study investigates whether early intestinal epithelial cell damage occurs in trauma patients and, if present, whether such cell injury is related to shock, injury severity and the subsequent inflammatory response. Methods Prospective observational cohort study in 96 adult trauma patients. Upon arrival at the emergency room (ER) plasma levels of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (i-FABP), a specific marker for damage of differentiated enterocytes, were measured. Factors that potentially influence the development of intestinal cell damage after trauma were determined, including the presence of shock and the extent of abdominal trauma and general injury severity. Furthermore, early plasma levels of i-FABP were related to inflammatory markers interleukin-6 (IL-6), procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP). Results Upon arrival at the ER, plasma i-FABP levels were increased compared with healthy volunteers, especially in the presence of shock (P < 0.01). The elevation of i-FABP was related to the extent of abdominal trauma as well as general injury severity (P < 0.05). Circulatory i-FABP concentrations at ER correlated positively with IL-6 and PCT levels at the first day (r2 = 0.19; P < 0.01 and r2 = 0.36; P < 0.001 respectively) and CRP concentrations at the second day after trauma (r2 = 0.25; P < 0.01). Conclusions This study reveals early presence of intestinal epithelial cell damage in trauma patients. The extent of intestinal damage is associated with the presence of shock and injury severity. Early intestinal damage precedes and is related to the subsequent developing inflammatory response.
Treating large bone defects represents a major challenge in traumatic and orthopedic surgery. Bone tissue engineering provides a promising therapeutic option to improve the local bone healing response. In the present study tissue biocompatibility, systemic toxicity and tumorigenicity of a newly developed composite material consisting of polylactic acid (PLA) and 20% or 40% bioglass (BG20 and BG40), respectively, were analyzed. These materials were seeded with mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) and tested in a rat calvarial critical size defect model for 3 months and compared to a scaffold consisting only of PLA. Serum was analyzed for organ damage markers such as GOT and creatinine. Leukocyte count, temperature and free radical indicators were measured to determine the degree of systemic inflammation. Possible tumor occurrence was assessed macroscopically and histologically in slides of liver, kidney and spleen. Furthermore, the concentrations of serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and sodium oxide dismutase (SOD) were assessed as indicators of tumor progression. Qualitative tissue response towards the implants and new bone mass formation was histologically investigated. BG20 and BG40, with or without progenitor cells, did not cause organ damage, long-term systemic inflammatory reactions or tumor formation. BG20 and BG40 supported bone formation, which was further enhanced in the presence of EPCs and MSCs.
This investigation reflects good biocompatibility of the biomaterials BG20 and BG40 and provides evidence that additionally seeding EPCs and MSCs onto the scaffold does not induce tumor formation.
Early vascularization is a prerequisite for successful bone healing and endothelial progenitor cells (EPC), seeded on appropriate biomaterials, can improve vascularization. The type of biomaterial influences EPC function with bioglass evoking a vascularizing response. In this study the influence of a composite biomaterial based on polylactic acid (PLA) and either 20 or 40% bioglass, BG20 and BG40, respectively, on the differentiation and survival of EPCs in vitro was investigated. Subsequently, the effect of the composite material on early vascularization in a rat calvarial critical size defect model with or without EPCs was evaluated. Human EPCs were cultured with β-TCP, PLA, BG20 or BG40, and seeding efficacy, cell viability, cell morphology and apoptosis were analysed in vitro. BG40 released the most calcium, and improved endothelial differentiation and vitality best. This effect was mimicked by adding an equivalent amount of calcium to the medium and was diminished in the presence of the calcium chelator, EGTA. To analyze the effect of BG40 and EPCs in vivo, a 6-mm diameter critical size calvarial defect was created in rats (n = 12). Controls (n = 6) received BG40 and the treatment group (n = 6) received BG40 seeded with 5×105 rat EPCs. Vascularization after 1 week was significantly improved when EPCs were seeded onto BG40, compared to implanting BG40 alone. This indicates that Ca2+ release improves EPC differentiation and is useful for enhanced early vascularization in critical size bone defects.
Die doppelblinde Pilotstudie ''Wirksamkeit und Verträglichkeit einer Enzym oder Vitamin ATherapie bei Patienten mit Plattenepithelkarzinom im Kopf/Halsbereich" wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit der HNOKlinik in dem Zeitraum von Oktober 1994 bis Juni 1996 mit 25 Patienten mit Plattenepithelkarzinomen und 15 gesunden Kontrollpersonen durchgeführt. Den Patienten wurde neben der konventionellen Therapie entweder VitaminA (Retinolpalmitat, 150,000 IE/d), die Enzympräparation (proteolytische Gesamtaktivität 20,880 F.I.P.E/d) oder Placebo zugeteilt. In regelmäßigen Abständen wurde das Allgemeinbefinden/ Nebenwirkungen protokolliert, Blutbild und Leberwerte bestimmt, die peripheren Lymphozyten phänotypisiert und die NK LAK, bzw. LAKZellAktivität gemessen. Zur Auswertung gelangten 16 Patienten. Statistisch signifikant war eine Erhöhung der CD2 und CD3Werte der EnzymGruppe (41 Messungen) gegenüber den Patienten der Gruppen VitaminA (18 Messungen), Placebo (12 Messungen) und den Ausgangswerten der Patienten (25 Messungen). Auch im Verlauf konnte die Erhöhung der CD3Werte bei der Enzymgruppe gegenüber den anderen Patientengruppen bestätigt werden. Der Anteil der TZellen im peripheren Blut lag im Bereich der gesunden Kontrollen. Um die Wirkungen der Prüfmedikationen auf Leukozyten (PBL, PMNL, Monozyten) in vitro zu untersuchen, wurde ein Panel durchflußzytometrischer Tests entwickelt, bzw. etabliert, die die Messung der Funktionen NKZellaktivität, LAKAktivität, ADCC, Phagozytose und Sauerstoffradikalbildung ermöglichten bzw. vereinfachten. Die untersuchte Enzympräparation enthielt Papain, Trypsin und Chymotrypsin im Verhältnis 2,5:1:1. In vitroVersuche ergaben eine dosisabhängige Stimulierung der NK, NKLAK, CTL bzw. LAKAktivität und der ADCC durch NKZellen durch die Enzympräparation. Es war möglich, die Lymphozyten mehrfach zu stimulieren, eine Enzymdauergabe, bzw. hohe Enzymdosen führten zu einem Aktivitätsrückgang. Die Enzymmischung verbesserte die Phagozytose und den oxidativen Burst bei PMNL und erhöhte die CD18 und CD54 bzw. erniedrigte die CD16Expression auf PMNL. Mit alltransRetinsäure bzw. Retinol konnten die Lymphozytenaktivitäten in vitro mit den gewählten Versuchsbedingungen kaum beeinflußt werden, Änderungen konnten meist 48h bis 72h nach Zugabe beobachtet werden, die jedoch nicht signifikant waren. Beobachtungen zu VitaminAWirkungen auf PMNL waren nicht möglich, da diese nur maximal 24h kultiviert werden konnten.

Fragestellung: Die Behandlung langstreckiger Knochendefekte ist eine große Herausforderung. Die Masquelet-Technik zur Behandlung solcher Defekte ist eine zweizeitige Operationstechnik. Zuerst erfolgt die Insertion eines PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylat)-Zementspacers in den Knochendefekt, der die Bildung einer Membran induziert. Diese Membran enthält Wachstumsfaktoren und regenerative Zellen, die möglicherweise die Knochenheilung unterstützen. Nach einigen Wochen wird der Zementspacer entfernt und der induzierte Membranschlauch mit Beckenkammspongiosa aufgefüllt. Im weiteren Verlauf kommt es zu einer kompletten Knochenheilung. Ziele dieser Untersuchung waren die Etablierung der Masquelettechnik am Rattenmodell und die Definition eines Zeitpunkts, an welchem die Membran eine ausreichende Festigkeit sowie einen signifikanten Gehalt von Vorläuferzellen aufweist.
Methodik: Nach Genehmigung der Experimente wurden die Femura von 24 männlichen SD-Ratten osteotomiert. Die Lücke (10 mm) wurde mit PMMA-Zement aufgefüllt und mittels Miniplatte stabilisiert. Parallel wurden den Versuchstieren gleich große PMMA-Spacer subcutan unter die Rückenhaut implantiert. Nach 2, 4, bzw. 6 Wochen (W) erfolgte die Entnahme der Membranen. Ein Teil der Membran wurde für (immun)histologische Untersuchungen aufbereitet (CD34, vWF, van Giesson), ein Teil für die in vitro Kultur. Auswachsende Vorläuferzellen in vitro wurden über CD34 und STRO-1-Färbung nachgewiesen. Statistik: Mediane, Kruskal-Wallis-Test, p<0,05 ist signifikant.
Ergebnisse und Schlussfolgerungen: Im zeitlichen Verlauf nahmen die Vaskularisierung (vWF-positive Fläche [%]: 2 W: 1,8; 4 W:1.6 vs 6 W: 6,4), die Dicke der Membran ([µm]: 2 W: 350 vs 4W: 517, 6 W: 592) und der Bindegewebsanteil ([µm]: 2W: 201 vs 4W: 324, 6W: 404) signifikant zu. Der Hauptanteil elastischer Fasern war auf der dem Zement zugewandten Seite, Vaskularisierung war eher auf der Weichteil zugewandten Seite zu finden. Der Anteil CD34 positiver Zellen nahm signifikant ab (2W: 5%, 4 W: 4% vs 6 W: 1%). Auswachsende STRO-1 positive Zellen konnten nur in zweiwöchigen Membranen nachgewiesen werden. Ältere Membranen wiesen einen zunehmenden Anteil seneszenter Zellen auf. Subcutan induzierte Membranen waren vergleichbar, wiesen jedoch tendentiell eine geringere Dicke und keine STRO-1 positiven Zellen auf.
Mit dieser Studie wurde erstmalig die Induktion einer Membran nach Masquelet im Rattenmodell etabliert. Es konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass der strukturelle Aufbau sowie die zellulären Komponenten zeitlichen Änderungen unterliegen und der Ort der Induktion Einfluss auf die zellulären Komponenten der Membran hat. Junge Membranen (2W) enthielten CD34 und STRO-1 positive Zellen. 4W-Membranen enthielten nur CD34 positive Zellen wiesen aber einen signifikanten Bindegewebsanteil auf, der für eine erhöhte mechanische Stabilität spricht. Ob 2 bzw. 4 Wochen alte Membranen den Knochenheilungsprozess fördern, muss in weiterführenden Studien untersucht werden.
Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMCs) are suitable for bone tissue engineering. Comparative data regarding the needs of BMC for the adhesion on biomaterials and biocompatibility to various biomaterials are lacking to a large extent. Therefore, we evaluated whether a surface coating would enhance BMC adhesion and analyze the biocompatibility of three different kinds of biomaterials. BMCs were purified from human bone marrow aspirate samples. Beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP, without coating or coated with fibronectin or human plasma), demineralized bone matrix (DBM), and bovine cancellous bone (BS) were assessed. Seeding efficacy on β-TCP was 95% regardless of the surface coating. BMC demonstrated a significantly increased initial adhesion on DBM and β-TCP compared to BS. On day 14, metabolic activity was significantly increased in BMC seeded on DBM in comparison to BMC seeded on BS. Likewise increased VEGF-synthesis was observed on day 2 in BMC seeded on DBM when compared to BMC seeded on BS. The seeding efficacy of BMC on uncoated biomaterials is generally high although there are differences between these biomaterials. Beta-TCP and DBM were similar and both superior to BS, suggesting either as suitable materials for spatial restriction of BMC used for regenerative medicine purposes in vivo.
