Hemorrhage decreases macrophage inflammatory protein 2 and interleukin-6 release: a possible mechanism for increased wound infection. (4/649)

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether alteration in wound exudate cell immune function occurs after trauma-hemorrhage. BACKGROUND: Although clinical and experimental studies indicate that the rate of wound infection is increased after trauma and hemorrhagic shock, the underlying mechanism for this increased susceptibility remains unknown. METHODS: Male C3H/HeN mice were subjected to a midline laparotomy and polyvinyl alcohol sponges were implanted subcutaneously in the abdominal wound before hemorrhage (35+/-5 mm Hg for 90 minutes and resuscitation) or sham operation. The wound exudate cells from the sponges were harvested on the first, third, and fifth postoperative day and cultured for 24 hours in the presence of lipopolysaccharide (10 microg/ml) or heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus. Interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, monocyte chemotactic protein 1, macrophage inflammatory protein 2, and nitrite levels were determined in the supernatants. The distribution of macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes was assessed in the sponge with and without in vivo injection of S. aureus. The phagocytic activity of isolated wound exudate cells was determined using fluorescent S. aureus. RESULTS: The composition of exudate cells was unaltered by hemorrhagic shock; however, in vivo injection of S. aureus significantly decreased the percentage of macrophages under such conditions. Wound exudate cell phagocytic activity and the release of IL-1beta, IL-6, monocyte chemotactic protein 1, and macrophage inflammatory protein 2 was decreased on the first postoperative day. The release of IL-1beta and IL-6 was also decreased on the third postoperative day in hemorrhaged mice. On the fifth postoperative day, wound exudate cell cytokine production was comparable to that in shams. CONCLUSIONS: Because most wound infections occur early after severe trauma, these results suggest that the dysfunction of wound exudate cells after hemorrhage might contribute to the increased incidence of wound infections. Therefore, attempts to enhance or restore wound cell immune function might be helpful for decreasing the incidence of wound infections in trauma victims.  (+info)

Antibacterial activity of honey against strains of Staphylococcus aureus from infected wounds. (8/649)

The antibacterial action of honey in infected wounds does not depend wholly on its high osmolarity. We tested the sensitivity of 58 strains of coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus, isolated from infected wounds, to a pasture honey and a manuka honey. There was little variation between the isolates in their sensitivity to honey: minimum inhibitory concentrations were all between 2 and 3% (v/v) for the manuka honey and between 3 and 4% for the pasture honey. Thus, these honeys would prevent growth of S. aureus if diluted by body fluids a further seven-fold to fourteen-fold beyond the point where their osmolarity ceased to be completely inhibitory. The antibacterial action of the pasture honey relied on release of hydrogen peroxide, which in vivo might be reduced by catalase activity in tissues or blood. The action of manuka honey stems partly from a phytochemical component, so this type of honey might be more effective in vivo. Comparative clinical trials with standardized honeys are needed.  (+info)

Wound healing involves a complex interaction between immunity and other natural host processes, and to succeed it requires a well-defined cascade of events. Chronic wound infections can be mono- or polymicrobial but their major characteristic is their ability to develop a biofilm. A biofilm reduces the effectiveness of treatment and increases resistance. A biofilm is an ecosystem on its own, enabling the bacteria and the host to establish different social interactions, such as competition or cooperation. With an increasing incidence of chronic wounds and, implicitly, of chronic biofilm infections, there is a need for alternative therapeutic agents. Nanotechnology shows promising openings, either by the intrinsic antimicrobial properties of nanoparticles or their function as drug carriers. Nanoparticles and nanostructured coatings can be active at low concentrations toward a large variety of infectious agents; thus, they are unlikely to elicit emergence of resistance. Nanoparticles might contribute to

TIBBS » Infection DetectionTIBBS » Infection Detection
The material in "intelligent" wound dressings is a mixture of agarose and synthetic lipid vesicles that contain a self-quenching fluorescent dye. When present at high concentrations inside the vesicles, the dye is quenched and does not fluoresce. The lipid vesicles holding the dye are sensitive to cytotoxic virulence factors produced by major wound pathogens. When virulence factors from bacteria in an infected wound reach clinically relevant levels, the vesicles are lysed and the dye is dispersed. Once released, the dye is no longer at a high enough concentration to self-quench, and a fluorescence color change becomes visible. This color change can be detected through vision alone and thus is a simple yet powerful indication of clinical colonization and the need for immediate treatment. At left, the detergent Triton is used to fully lyse the vesicles, and the activated dye is visible under UV light.. The virulence factors that interact with the wound dressing occur in bacterial biofilms. ...

Control of wound sepsis is an important challenge in traumatology. However, increase in the drug-resistant bacteria makes this challenge considerably difficult in recent years. In this study, we attempted to control burn wound sepsis in rats by photodynamic treatment, which has been reported to be effective against some drug-resistant bacteria. A 20% TBSA (total body surface area) full-thickness burn was made in rat dorsal skin, and five days after injury, a suspension of P. aeruginosa was applied to the wound surface. At 30 min after infection, a methylene blue (MB) solution was applied to the wound surface; 5 min afterwards, the wound was illuminated with a 665-nm light emitting diode (LED) array for 10 min. This treatment (application of MB and illumination) was repeated 3 times successively. The averaged light intensity on the wound surface was 3.3 mW/cm2, the corresponding total light dose being 5.9 J/cm2. One week after injury, the numbers of bacteria in the blood and liver were counted by ...

Chronic wounds affect millions of people and cost billions of dollars in the United States each year. These wounds harbor polymicrobial biofilm communities, which can be difficult to elucidate using culturing methods. Clinical molecular microbiological methods are increasingly being employed to investigate the microbiota of chronic infections, including wounds, as part of standard patient care. However, molecular testing is more sensitive than culturing, which results in markedly different results being reported to clinicians. This study compares the results of aerobic culturing and molecular testing (culture-free 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing), and it examines the relative abundance score that is generated by the molecular test and the usefulness of the relative abundance score in predicting the likelihood that the same organism would be detected by culture. Parallel samples from 51 chronic wounds were studied using aerobic culturing and 16S DNA sequencing for the identification of bacteria. One hundred

Chronic wound - WikipediaChronic wound - Wikipedia
A chronic wound is a wound that does not heal in an orderly set of stages and in a predictable amount of time the way most wounds do; wounds that do not heal within three months are often considered chronic. Chronic wounds seem to be detained in one or more of the phases of wound healing. For example, chronic wounds often remain in the inflammatory stage for too long. To overcome that stage and jump-start the healing process a number of factors need to be addressed such as bacterial burden, necrotic tissue, and moisture balance of the whole wound. In acute wounds, there is a precise balance between production and degradation of molecules such as collagen; in chronic wounds this balance is lost and degradation plays too large a role. Chronic wounds may never heal or may take years to do so. These wounds cause patients severe emotional and physical stress and create a significant financial burden on patients and the whole healthcare system. Acute and chronic wounds are at opposite ends of a ...

A significant feature of all wounds is the likelihood of pathological infection occurring. Surgical wounds are no exception, and average levels of infection of surgical wounds are 7%-10% dependent on the procedure. These infections can be prevented by appropriate cleanliness, surgical discipline and skill, wound care therapy, and antibiotic prophylaxis. Infections usually lead to more extensive wound care time, the use of more expensive products and drugs, significantly increased therapist time, and increased morbidity and rehabilitation time. A large number of wounds will also be sutured to accelerate closure, and a proportion of these will undergo dehiscence and require aftercare for healing to occur.. Traumatic Wounds. There are estimated to be 1.5 million cases of traumatic wounding every year. These wounds require cleansing and treatment with low adherent dressings to cover them, prevent infection, and allow healing by primary intention.

Rapid Identification of Key Pathogens in Wound Infection by Molecular Means - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.govRapid Identification of Key Pathogens in Wound Infection by Molecular Means - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
Background: Wound infections are typically mixed, with both anaerobic and non-anaerobic bacteria present and there are usually more anaerobes than aerobes (for example, in perforated or gangrenous appendicitis, we have found an average of 9 anaerobes and 3 aerobes). Many clinical laboratories do limited anaerobic bacteriology, using commercial kits based on inadequate phenotypic characteristics and inaccurate taxonomy. As a result, physicians and surgeons must treat wound infections empirically and tend to use drugs active against the most resistant anaerobes which leads to increased resistance to antimicrobials. Molecular techniques now available permit accurate and rapid characterization of microorganisms, both aerobic and anaerobic.. Objective/Hypothesis: The use of molecular biology techniques will provide identification of the microorganisms responsible for wound infection both more rapidly and more accurately. The current conventional method of culture and identification by phenotypic ...

Animal models can not simulate the complex set of pre-existing conditions in each individual that results in failed wound healing. Therefore, human subjects must be used to obtain valid data. Adequate wound vascularization that permits blood vessels to deliver oxygen to the wound is a requirement for wound healing to occur. This protocol will attempt to gain greater understanding of the mechanisms of chronic wounds through 3 specific aims: 1) identify the angiogenic mechanisms in wound site macrophages, which are required for healing, 2) determine the impact of stress and glucocorticoid resistance on endothelial cell and macrophage biology and ultimately wound healing outcomes, 3) identify patterns of gene expression in wound endothelial cells that are found in healing versus non-healing wounds. This data will be correlated with the wound oxygenation status to determine the impact of wound vascularization on the ...

Wound healing is a complex process which is further complicated by the influence of microorganisms. Most wounds become contaminated following the initial trauma but only small numbers develop infection. Wound infection can be readily identified following acute injury and the typical tell-tale signs of redness, swelling, pain, and exudate make diagnosis straightforward. Acute wound infections usually respond to antibiotic treatment, albeit with the increasing numbers of antimicrobial-resistant strains, some may need more intensive treatment. However, some wounds fail to heal and become chronic. These do not respond well to antibiotics and require a dedicated team of wound care specialists, using a variety of topical antimicrobial treatments and dressings, to help heal the wound. Some chronic wounds fail to heal and depending upon the site of the wound may necessitate amputation or surgery, leading to immense problems for the patient in quality of life issues.

TY - JOUR. T1 - Stress-induced susceptibility to bacterial infection during cutaneous wound healing. AU - Rojas, Isolde Gina. AU - Padgett, David A.. AU - Sheridan, John F.. AU - Marucha, Phillip T.. PY - 2002/1/1. Y1 - 2002/1/1. N2 - Psychological stress delays wound healing and decreases immune/inflammatory responses required for bacterial clearance. To determine if stress increases the susceptibility to wound infection, female SKH-1 mice were subjected to restraint stress (RST) beginning 3 days prior to the placement of cutaneous wounds. Viable bacteria were quantified from harvested wounds. RST delayed healing by 30% and caused a 2- to 5-log increase in opportunistic bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus) when compared to wounds from control animals (p , .05). By day 7, 85.4% of the wounds from RST mice had bacterial counts predictive of infection compared to 27.4% from control mice (p , .001). To assess the role of RST-induced glucocorticoids in bacterial clearance, mice were treated with ...

Most wounds are diagnosed as arterial, venous, pressure, neuropathic, surgical, or burn and are treated according to the principles that have been discussed in the previous chapters. If a wound has a different appearance or does not respond to standard care, the clinician is challenged to determine either the factors that are inhibiting healing or to consider a different diagnosis. This chapter reviews the basic morphology of skin disease, red flags of atypical wounds, and characteristics of different diagnostic categories. The pathophysiology, clinical presentation with photographs, differential diagnosis, medical management, and wound management of each wound category are provided to assist the clinician in making sound clinical decisions. ...

A non-contact heated wound covering preferably having a peripheral sealing ring covered by a layer to which is attached a heater and this assembly is attached to the skin with an adhesive so that the heater is held proximate the wound area in a non-contact position. The layer and peripheral sealing ring together define a treatment volume proximate the wound. The wound covering includes a programmable active heater control and the sealing ring may dispense water to control the humidity of the treatment volume. One form of active heat is an electrical resistive filament in variable geometric shapes providing versatility in application of heat to different types of wounds and wound area geometries. Another form of active heat is the transfer of a heated gas to the wound covering.
