DESIGN: Experimental, prospective study.
SETTING: Medical center research laboratory.
SUBJECTS: Sprague Dawley male rats.
INTERVENTIONS: Series 1: femur fracture was induced in anesthetized rats, followed by pressure-controlled hemorrhage (40 mm Hg for 20 minutes) and resuscitation. Groups: 1) no therapy; 2) 15 mL/kg hetastarch; and 3) 3 mg/kg benzamide, N-(aminoiminomethyl)-4-[4-(2-furanylcarbonyl)-1-piperazinyl]-3-(methylsulfonyl), methanesulfonate (BIIB513) (NHE-1 inhibitor) + 15 mL/kg hetastarch infusion over 40 minutes. The experiment was terminated at 6 hours after resuscitation. Series 2: the rats received laparotomy and closure under anesthesia and subsequently remained conscious for the rest of the study. The rats were subjected to volume-controlled hemorrhage (2.5 mL/100 g) followed by resuscitation as described in series 1. The experiment was terminated at 24 hours after resuscitation.
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Series 1: all animals in the no-therapy group died within 2 hours. Compared with hetastarch infusion alone, the addition of NHE-1 inhibitor improved the hemodynamic response to fluid resuscitation, increased blood oxygen content, prevented metabolic acidosis, and improved 6-hour survival (42% in hetastarch group vs. 80% in BIIB513 + hetastarch group). NHE-1 inhibition also resulted in reduced plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and C-reactive protein, and attenuated neutrophil infiltration in the liver. Series 2: all animals in the no-therapy group died within 4 hours after hemorrhage. Compared with hetastarch infusion alone, the addition of BIIB513 improved 24-hour survival (44% in hetastarch group vs. 78% in BIIB513 + hetastarch group). NHE-1 inhibition also reduced plasma levels alanine aminotransferase at 24 hours after resuscitation.
CONCLUSIONS: NHE-1 inhibition facilitated the hemodynamic response to fluid resuscitation, attenuated tissue inflammatory injury, and organ dysfunction, but most importantly improved survival. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
