Gut lymph hypothesis of early shock and trauma-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome: a new look at gut origin sepsis

Deitch, Edwin A., Xu, Da-Zhong, Lu, Qi·2006·Journal of Organ Dysfunction

Abstract

Trauma is the leading cause of death in people aged < 40 years and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is the leading cause of death in intensive care units. Consequently, understanding the mechanisms by which trauma/hemorrhagic shock (T/HS) leads to acute (non-infectious) MODS is of major health importance in the USA. One of the major hypotheses being studied to explain the development of sepsis and MODS after trauma is the gut hypothesis of MODS. Additionally, there is recent experimental and clinical information that the response to injury and sepsis may differ between males and females. Thus, the overall global hypothesis of this review is that T/HS-induced early distant organ injury and cellular dysfunction is secondary to gut injury and is primarily mediated by factors exiting the gut via the mesenteric lymphatics. A secondary major hypothesis which will be presented is that gender and sex hormones modulate gut and hence distant organ and cellular dysfunction after T/HS. These hypotheses are supported by our studies indicating that T/HS-induced lung injury and endothelial cell activation/dysfunction, neutrophil activation, red blood cell dysfunction and bone marrow failure in male rats are mediated primarily by factors exiting the gut in the mesenteric lymph. Additionally, our studies show that proestrus female rats are resistant to these T/HS-induced injuries. Based on these results supporting the gut lymph hypothesis of systemic inflammatory response syndrome and MODS, and studies showing that female rats are more resistant to T/HS than male rats, the effects of gut-derived factors in lymph, as well as the effects of gender and sex hormones on cellular and organ dysfunction after T/HS, appear to be fruitful areas for further investigation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
