Objective • Clinical Spectrum of SIRS. • Signaling – Humoral – Neural – Hormonal • Inflammatory Mediators. • Cell Mediated Inflammatory response. • Surgical Metabolism. Introduction • Inflammatory response to injury – to restore tissue function – Eradicate invading microorganisms • Local- limited duration, restores function • Major – overwhelming inflammatory response – Potential multi-organ failure Clinical Spectrum of SIRS • Infection – Identifiable source of microbial insult • Sepsis – • SIRS = 2 or more: – – – – Temp ≥38˚C or ≤36˚C HR ≥ 90 bpm RR ≥ 20 breaths/min or PaCO2 ≤ 32 mmHg or mechanical ventilation WBC ≥ 12,000 or ≤ 4000 or ≥ 10% immature forms Infection + SIRS • Severe Sepsis – Sepsis + Organ Dysfunction • Septic Shock – Sepsis + Cardiovascular Collapse (requires vasopressors) Signaling • Humoral – inflammatory mediators in the circulation can induce fever and anorexia i.e. TNF-α • Neural – parasympathetic vagal stimulation attenuates the inflammatory response via Ach release – Reduces HR, increases gut motility, dilates arterioles, constricts pupils, and decreases inflammation – Reduces macrophage activation – Reduces macrophage release of pro-inflammatory mediators (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-18) Hormone Signaling Adrenocorticotropic Hormone • Synthesized anterior pituitary • Regulated by circadian signals • Pattern is dramatically altered in injured patients • Elevation is proportional to injury severity • Released by: pain, anxiety, vasopressin, angiotensin II, cholecystokinin, catecholamines, and pro-inflammatory cytokines • ACTH signals increase glucocorticoid Glucocorticoids • Cortisol – elevated following injury, – duration of elevation depends on severity of injury • Potentiates hyperglycemia – Hepatic gluconeogenesis – Muscle and adipose tissue –> induces insulin resistance – Skeletal m.–> protein degradation, lactate release – Adipose -> reduces release of TG, FFA, Exogenous administration • Adrenal suppression in the acutely ill – – – – Acute Adrenal Insufficiency Atrophy of the adrenal glands Weakness, n/v, fever, hypotension Hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia • Immunosuppression – Decreased T-killer and NK fcn, graft vs host rxns, delayed hypersensitivity responses, inability of monocyte intracellular killing, inhibition of superoxide reactivity and chemotaxis in neutrophils Macrophage Inhibitory Factor • Glucocorticoid antagonist • produced by anterior pituitary & Tlymphocytes • Reverses immunosuppressive effects of glucocorticoids Growth Hormone • During stress -> protein synth, fat mobilization, and skeletal cartilage growth • Injury reduces IGF1 levels • IGF1 inhibited by pro-inflammatory cytokines – TNF-α, IL-1α, IL-6 Aldosterone • Synthesized, stored, released from the adrenal zona glomerulosa • Maintains intravascular volume – Conserves Na. – Eliminates potassium and hydrogen ions – Acts on the early distal convoluted tubules • Deficiency- hypotension, hyperkalemia • Excess- edema, HTN, hypokalemia, metab alkalosis Insulin • Stress inhibited release + peripheral insulin resistance = hyperglycemia • Injury has 2 phases of insulin release – Within hours- release is suppressed – Later- normal/xs insulin production with peripheral insulin resistance • Activated lymphocytes have insulin receptors -> enhanced Tcell proliferation and cytotoxicity • Tight control of glucose levels esp. in Acute Phase Proteins • • • • • Nonspecific markers Produced by hepatocytes Response to injury, infection, inflammation Induced by IL-6 C-reactive protein best reflects inflammation – No diurnal variation, not affected by feeding – Affected only by preexisting hepatic failure – Accuracy surpasses that of ESR Inflammatory Mediators • • • • • • •

metals, and hemorrhage • Requires gene induction by a transcription factor • ACTH sensitive • Production seems to decline with age Reactive Oxygen Metabolites • Cause tissue injury by oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids within cell membranes • Produced by anaerobic glucose oxidation and reduction to superoxide anion in leukocytes • Further metabolized to hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals

injury, direct tissue injury, endotoxin, norepinephrine, vasopressin, ang II, bradykinin, serotonin, ACh, cytokines, histamine • Diverse systemic effects • Adverse effects include acute lung injury, pancreatitis, renal failure Fatty Acid Metabolites • Omega 6 FA – precursors of inflammatory mediators (PG, platelet activating factor) – found in enteral nutrition formulas • Substituting Omega 3 FA attenuate the inflammatory response – Reduces TNFα, IL6, PGE2 – Reduces the metabolic rater, normalizes glucose metabolism, attenuates weight loss, improves nitrogen balance, reduces endotoxin induced acute lung injury, minimizes reperfusion injury to the myocardium, small intestine, and skeletal muscles. Kallikrein-Kinin System • Bradykinins are potent vasodilators • Stimulated by hypoxic and ischemic injury – Hemorrhage, sepsis, endotoxemia, tissue injury – Magnitude proportional to severity of injury • Produced by kininogen degradation by kallikrein • Kinins increase capillary permeability Serotonin • Present in intestinal chromaffin cells & platelets • Vasoconstriction, bronchoconstriction, platelet aggregation • Myocardial chronotrope and ionotrope • Unclear role in inflammation Histamine • Stored in neurons, skin, gastric mucosa, mast cells, basophils, and platelets • H1 – bronchoconstriction, VD, increases intestinal motility and myocardial contractility • H2 – stimulates gastric parietal cell acid secretion. • H3 – downregulation of histamine release.

injury – Produce histamine, cytokines, eicosanoids, proteases, chemokines, TNF-α (stored in granules) – Cause vasodilation, capillary leakage, and Cell Mediated Inflammation • Monocytes – Downregulation of receptor TNFR is clinically and experimentally correlated with CHF, nonsurvival in sepsis • Neutrophils – – – – Modulate acute inflammation Maturation is stimulated by G-CSF Rolling (L-selectin (fast), P-selectin (slow) Adhesion/transmigration – ICAM 1, 2, PECAM 1, VCAM 1, CD18 Endothelium-Mediated Injury • Neutrophil-Endothelium Interaction – Increased vascular permeability – facilitate oxygen delivery and immunocyte migration – Accumulation of neutrophils at injury sites can cause cytotoxicity to vital organs – Ischemia-reperfusion injury potentiates this response by

Shorter FA chains directly enter portal circulation and are transported via albumin Under stress, hepatocytes utilize FFA as fuel Systemically TG and chylomicrons are used from hydrolysis with lipoprotein lipase (suppressed by trauma and sepsis) Fatty Acid Oxidation • FFA + acyl-CoA = LCT are transported across the mitochondrial inner membrane via the carnitine shuttle • Medium-chain TG (MCT) 6-12 carbons long, freely cross the mitochondrial membrane • Fatty acyl-CoA undergoes β-oxidation to acetyl-CoA to enter TCA cycle for oxidation to ATP, CO2, and water • Excess acetyl-CoA is used for ketogenesis Carbohydrate Metabolism • Carbohydrates + pancreatic intestinal enzymes yield dimeric units (sucrase, lactase, maltase) • Intestinal brush border disaccharidases break them into simple hexose units which are transported into the intestinal mucosa • Glucose and galactose are absorbed via a sodium dependent active transport pump • Fructose absorption via facilitated Carbohydrate Metabolism • 1g carbohydrate = 4 kcal energy • IV/parenteral nutrition 3.4 kcal/g dextrose • In surgical patients dextrose administration is to minimize muscle wasting • Glucose can be utilized in a variety of pathways – phosphorylation to G6P then glycogenesis or glycogenolysis, pyruvic acid pathway, or pentose shunt Protein and Amino Acid Metabolism • Average adult protein intake 80-120 g/day – every 6 g protein yields 1 g nitrogen – 1g protein = 4 kcal energy • Following injury, glucocorticoids increase urinary nitrogen excretion (>30g/d), peak at 7d, persist 3-7 wks The effect of injury severity on nitrogen wasting References The material was directly adapted from: Schwartz's Principles of Surgery, 8th ed.
