Objective To explore the recuperative effect of immunological function and nutritional status on the patients treated by immune enteral nutrition in early stage after severe multiple injury (SMI). Method The patients with SMI,in department of Trauma Surgery,Tongji Hospital,Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology,between January 2006 to May 2007 were randomly divided into 2 groups: immune enteral nutrition group (IEN group, 20 cases), enteral nutrition group (EN group, 20 cases). The health persons served as the control group(15 cases) .Since 1st postinjury day, all patients were treated with nutritional support. The T-cell subgroup in periphera blood were detected by FCM and the level of PA, RBP, IL-2 and IL-4 in blood serum were detected by ELASA on the 1st, 3rd,5th, 8th postinjury day. Results After the treatment of IEN and EN,the serum levels of PA, RBP and the proportion of T-cell subgroup were significantly increased on the 8th postinjury day compared with on 1st postinjury day (P ＜ 0.01), but there were no differences between IEN group and EN group. The level of IL-4 were significantly decreased and the level of IL-2 were significantly increased in each group on 8th postinjury day, at same time, the level of IL-2 were significantly increased in IEN group compared with EN group (P ＜ 0.05), and the level of IL-4 were significantly decreased in IEN group compared with EN group (P ＜ 0.05). The duration of SIRS was transient and the infected complication was low on the patients treatment by IEN than EN. Conclusions On the patients with severe multiple injury, IEN was most ascendant than EN to improve the immunosuppression and clinical prognosis.

Objective To observe change of T regulatory cells (Tregs) and its relation with in-jury severity and sepsis following severe muhiple injury. Methods A total of 60 patients were em-ployed in the study and divided into severe group (30 patients) and critical group (30 patients) based on ISS scores and into sepsis group (22 patients) and non-sepsis group (38 patients) based on complication of sepsis. The proportion of Tregs in peripheral blood in different groups was detected by flow cytometry at days 1,3,5 and 8 after injury. Results The proportion of Tregs was significantly increased at day 5 postinjury, with statistical difference compared with that at day 3 postinjury (P < 0.01). The proportion of Tregs remained increasing at day 8 pestinjury (P < 0.05). At day 8 postinjury, the proportion of Tregs in critical group was significantly higher than that in severe group (P < 0.01). At the same time, the proportion of Tregs in sepsis group was significantly higher than that in non-sepsis group (P < 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed a positive correlation of Tregs proportion with ISS score (rs =0.654, P < 0.01). Conclusions Tregs play an important role in suppression of T cell-mediated im-munity after severe injury. The variation of Tregs can help evaluate prognosis and predict the risk of com-plicating sepsis in patients with severe multiple injury.

Objective To study the alteration of microbial population distribution and resistance of clinical bacterial isolates in patients with severity muhiple injuries. Methods The distributed Features of 432 strains of infection germs detected among the patients with severe muhiple iniuries admitted into hospital from January 2004 to December 2006 were statistically analyzed during. Results In the total 432 strains,the G accounted for 62.9%(272/432),dominated mainly by pathogens including Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumanni I and Escherichia Coli.The G+accounted for 37%(160/432),mainly including Staphylococcus anreus,enterococci and coagulase negative staphylococcus (CNS).Mixed infection rate was 41.1%.The isolating rate of enterococci.CNS and Sten Matophilia was obviously upgraded. Conclusions The source of infection in patients with severity multiple injuries is Gram-negative bacterium,suggesting that surveillance of bacterial resistance and rational use of antimicrobial agents should be emphasized during clinical therapy.
