Abstract
Burn patients over the age of 60 are at a greater risk for developing pulmonary complications than younger patients. The mechanisms for this, however, have yet to be elucidated. The objective of this study was to determine whether increased chemoattraction plays a role in the age-related differences in pulmonary inflammation after burn injury. At 6 or 24 h after receiving sham or 15% total body surface area scald injury, lungs from young and aged mice were analyzed for leukocyte content by histological examination and immunostaining. Lungs were then homogenized, and levels of neutrophil chemokines, MIP-2 and KC, were measured. At 6 h after burn, the number of neutrophils was four times higher in the lungs of both burn groups compared with aged-matched controls (P<0.05), but no age difference was evident. At 24 h, in contrast, neutrophils returned to sham levels in the lungs of young, burn-injured mice (P<0.05) but did not change in the lungs of aged, burn-injured mice. Pulmonary levels of the neutrophil chemokine KC but not MIP-2 were consistently three times higher in aged, burn-injured mice compared with young, burn-injured mice at both time-points analyzed. Administration with anti-CXCR2 antibody completely abrogated the excessive pulmonary neutrophil content by 24 h (P<0.05), while not affecting the inflammatory response of the wounds. These studies show that CXCR2-mediated chemoattraction is involved in the pulmonary inflammatory response after burn and suggest that aged individuals sustaining a burn injury may benefit from treatment strategies that target neutrophil chemokines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The molecular mechanisms of lung damage following thermal injury are not clear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether interleukin (IL)-1 mediates burn-induced inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, peroxynitrite production, and lung damage through c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling. DESIGN Prospective, experimental study. SETTING Research laboratory at a university hospital. SUBJECTS Thermal injury models in the mice. INTERVENTIONS IL-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1) mice, Tnfrsf1a mice, and wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to 30% total body surface area third-degree burn. The JNK inhibitor, SP600125, was given to mice to study the involvement of the JNK pathway in thermal injury-induced lung damage. WT --> WT, WT --> IL-1R1, and IL-1R1 --> WT chimeric mice were generated to determine the role of hematopoietic cells in IL-1-mediated lung damage. Neutrophils were harvested and treated in vitro with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS IL-1R1 mice rather than Tnfrsf1a mice showed less thermal injury-induced lung damage. IL-1R1 mice displayed less lung JNK activity; intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM), chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2), and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP2), messenger RNA expression; myeloperoxidase activity; and neutrophil p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation after thermal injury. SP600125 significantly reduced thermal injury-induced blood dihydrorhodamine (DHR) 123 oxidation, iNOS expression, and lung permeability in WT mice but not in IL-1R1 mice. IL-1R1 --> WT chimeric mice rather than WT --> IL-1R1 chimeric mice showed less thermal injury-induced lung damage. fMLP increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production of neutrophils in WT mice but not in IL-1R1 mice. SP600125 decreased ROS production of neutrophils in WT mice but not in IL-1R1 mice. CONCLUSIONS Thermal injury-induced lung JNK activation; lung ICAM, VCAM, CXCR2, and MIP2 expression; and DHR 123 oxidation are IL-1 dependent. JNK inhibition decreases IL-1-mediated thermal injury-induced lung damage. Given that the IL-1 receptor is critical in thermal injury-induced p38 MAPK phosphorylation and ROS production of neutrophils, we conclude that IL-1 mediates thermal injury-induced iNOS expression and lung damage through the JNK signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether burn-induced peroxynitrite production and expression of lung inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, CXCR2, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2, and neutrophil chemokine (KC) are mediated by the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK). DESIGN Prospective, experimental study. SETTING Research laboratory at a university hospital. SUBJECTS Thermal injury models in the mice. INTERVENTIONS In experiment 1, specific pathogen-free C57/BL6 mice were subjected to 30% total body surface area third-degree burn over shaved back. At 0 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, and 6 hrs after burn, lung tissues of those mice were harvested for JNK activity assay, AP-1 DNA-binding activity, and pJNK immunohistochemistry. In experiment 2, a specific JNK inhibitor, SP600125, was given (30 mg/kg intraperitoneally) to mice immediately postburn to suppress the JNK activity. At 8 hrs after burn, blood was assayed for the peroxynitrite-mediated dihydrorhodamine (DHR) 123 oxidation. Lung tissues were harvested for myeloperoxidase (MPO) determination, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, CXCR2, KC, MIP-2, interleukin-1beta, and interleukin-6 messenger RNA expression; iNOS immunohistochemical staining; and histologic studies. Pulmonary microvascular dysfunction was quantified by measuring the extravasations of Evans blue dye. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The JNK activity and AP-1 DNA-binding activity of lung tissue significantly increased to a peak at 2 hrs and 4 hrs, respectively, after thermal injury. Immunohistochemical study demonstrated that the increase of the pJNK was mostly from the bronchiole epithelial cells. This increase of MPO activity in lung, blood DHR 123 oxidation level, and lung permeability increased six-fold, nine-fold, and four-fold after burn. SP600125 administration obliterated the thermal injury-induced JNK activity, AP-1 DNA-binding activity, and iNOS expression in lung tissue. SP600125 treatment also significantly decreased MPO activity, blood DHR 123 oxidation, and lung permeability by 54%, 8%, and 47%, respectively, and markedly decreased the thermal injury-induced perivascular and interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration and septum edema. Furthermore, SP600125 abolished thermal injury-induced ICAM-1, VCAM-1, CXCR2, MIP-2, and KC but not interleukin-1beta and interleukin-6 messenger RNA levels of lung tissues. CONCLUSIONS Thermal injury induces lung tissue JNK activation and AP-1 DNA-binding activity mainly from airway epithelial cells. Thermal injury-induced peroxynitrite production and lung iNOS, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 expression are mediated by the JNK signaling. JNK inhibition decreases thermal injury-induced lung neutrophil infiltration and subsequently pulmonary hyperpermeability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early colloid resuscitation in major burn patients has been stopped because of its deteriorating effect on thermal injury-induced vascular hyperpermeability. We hypothesized that inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) to stabilize endothelial permeability and to retain colloid solution in the vascular space will reverse its effect on lung damage. STUDY DESIGN In experiment 1, specific pathogen free rats underwent 35% total-body surface area burn or sham burn and were given equal volumes (7.5 mL/kg) of normal saline or albumin from femoral veins for fluid resuscitation immediately after burn. In experiment 2, S-methylisothiourea (SMT, 7.5 mg/kg, IP) was given immediately after burn to rats from different groups, as in experiment 1. At 8 hours after burn, blood was assayed for peroxynitrite-mediated dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR 123) oxidation, and lung tissues were harvested for myeloperoxidase (MPO) determination and histologic studies. Pulmonary microvascular dysfunction was quantified by measuring the extravasations of Evans blue dye. RESULTS Blood peroxynitrite level and iNOS expression, MPO activity, permeability, and inflammatory cell infiltration of lungs were significantly induced after thermal injury. Albumin resuscitation after burn without iNOS inhibition enhanced thermal injury-induced lung damage with 10%, 14%, and 5% increases in blood DHR oxidation level, lung MPO activity, and lung permeability, respectively, compared with saline injection. In contrast, burn + SMT rats with albumin injection showed significant, 23%, 37%, and 20%, decreases, respectively, in blood DHR 123 oxidation level, lung MPO activity, and lung permeability compared with burn + SMT + saline rats. CONCLUSIONS Thermal injury induced lung damage. Restoration of extracellular fluid in early burn shock with albumin markedly augmented the lung neutrophil deposition, lung permeability increase, and blood peroxynitrite level. Inhibition of iNOS before albumin supplementation reversed its damaging effects on thermal injury-induced lung dysfunction to beneficial ones.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish the incidence, mortality, and time of onset of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in relation to extent of burn and inhalation injury in patients who required mechanical ventilation. DESIGN Data about burn and inhalation injury were recorded prospectively whereas ARDS and multiple organ dysfunction were assessed by review of patient charts. SETTING National burn intensive care unit at Linkoping University Hospital, Sweden (a tertiary referral hospital). PATIENTS Between 1993 and 1999, we studied all patients with thermal injury (n=553) who required mechanical ventilation for more than two days (n=91). MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Out of the thirty-six burn victims who developed ARDS (40%), 25 (70%) did so early post burn (in less than 6 days). Patients with ARDS had higher multiple organ dysfunction scores (mean 10.5) than those who did not develop ARDS (mean 5.6) (p<0.01). The probable presence of inhalation injury as assessed by an inhalation lung injury score (ILIS) did not contribute to the development of ARDS. Mortality tended to be higher in patients who developed ARDS (14%) compared to those who did not (6%, p=0.2). CONCLUSIONS In our burn patients the incidence of ARDS was high whereas mortality was low. We found no association between inhalation injury as assessed using the ILIS and development of ARDS. Our data support a multi-factorial origin of ARDS in burn victims as a part of a multiple organ failure event.

Abstract
The use of hypertonic saline (HTS) resuscitation in major trauma patients is still controversial. The objective of this study is to determine if inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) to stabilize the endothelial permeability and to retain HTS in the vascular space will reverse its exacerbating effect on burn-induced lung damage. In Experiment 1, specific pathogen-free (SPF) rats underwent 35% total body surface area (TBSA) burn and were resuscitated with 7.5 mL/kg HTS (7.5% NaCl), 7.5 mL/kg saline, or 50 mL/kg saline (nearly equal sodium load as HTS) via femoral veins for 15 min immediately after the burn. In Experiment 2, S-methylisothiourea (SMT) (7.5 mg/kg, i.p.) was given immediately after the burn to rats from the different groups of Experiment 1. At 8 h after the burn, the permeability and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity of lung tissues were determined, and plasma samples were assayed for peroxynitrite levels. Burn significantly induced lung MPO activity, lung permeability, and blood dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR 123) oxidation in rats. HTS administration after burn significantly increased the blood DHR 123 oxidation level, lung MPO activity, lung permeability, and inflammatory cell infiltration in comparison with those of burn plus 7.5 mg/kg saline and burn plus 50 mL/kg saline rats. In contrast, burn plus SMT rats with HTS injection showed significant 54%, 11%, and 35% decreases in blood DHR 123 oxidation level, lung MPO activity, and lung permeability, respectively, in comparison with burn plus SMT plus 7.5 mg/kg saline rats. In conclusion, restoration of extracellular fluid in early burn shock with HTS supplementation significantly exacerbates burn-induced lung neutrophil deposition, lung hyperpermeability, and blood peroxynitrite production. Inhibition of iNOS before HTS supplementation reverses the deteriorating effects of HTS on thermal injury-induced lung damage to beneficial ones. Using HTS in thermal injury resuscitation without the inhibition of iNOS is dangerous.

Abstract
Drug reactions are well-known complications of antidepressant therapy, often related to photosensitization. Herein is reported a singular case of antidepressant (amoxapine and citalopram) and anxiolytic related (perphenazine) photo-distributed neutrophilic dermatosis and adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The clinicopathologic findings displayed overlapping features with drug-induced Sweet's syndrome, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and so-called sterile neutrophilic folliculitis with perifollicular vasculopathy. Of the three medications, only amoxapine has been associated with AGEP. Treatment with high-dose systemic corticosteroids and cessation of drug therapy was followed by rapid resolution of the cutaneous eruption and respiratory distress. The possibility that neutrophil infiltration of the lung and/or accumulation of neutrophils in the skin and blood served as a source for reactive oxygen species, leading to lung injury and subsequent ARDS, is discussed.

Abstract
This study was conducted to demonstrate the burn-induced lung neutrophil deposition and damage in rats is affected by the nitric oxide (NO)-dependent downstream cGMP signaling. In experiment 1, 1H-[1,2,4] oxadiazolo [4,3-alpha] quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ) was given (20 mg/kg i.p.) to specific pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley rats immediately postburn to suppress the guanylate cyclase (GC) activity. At 8 h after burn, blood was assayed for the peroxynitrite-mediated dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR 123) oxidation and lung tissues were harvested for myeloperoxidase (MPO) determination and histological studies. Pulmonary microvascular dysfunction was quantified by measuring the extravasations of Evans blue dye. In experiment 2, Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) was given (2 mM, i.p.) to elevate cGMP levels and ODQ (20 mg/kg, i.p.) or methylene blue (100 microM, i.p.) or saline was given. The animals were sacrificed 4 h after injection and lung tissues were harvested for iNOS mRNA study. The MPO activity in lung, blood DHR 123 oxidation level, and lung permeability increased up to 2-fold, 4-fold, and 2.5-fold after burn. Inhibition of GC by ODQ administration significantly decreased MPO activity, blood DHR 123 oxidation, and lung permeability by 55%, 66%, and 53%, respectively, and markedly decreased the thermal injury-induced perivascular and interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration and septum edema. The protective effects of ODQ were comparable to the use of selective iNOS inhibitor as demonstrated previously. Furthermore, ODQ decreased the burn or SNP-induced iNOS mRNA levels at 4 h after burn. These findings suggest that burn-induced lung dysfunction is mediated by the NO/cGMP system because it is abolished by application of either iNOS inhibitor or GC inhibitor. Also, the beneficial effect of ODQ is partly due to the attenuation of burn-induced iNOS expression by GC inhibition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Intestinal ischemia and reperfusion injury was known to cause postinjury multiple organ failure by neutrophil and unclear nonneutrophil factors. Peroxynitrite formed by the rapid reaction between superoxide and nitric oxide, is a toxic substance that contributes to tissue injury in a number of biological systems. In this study, the role of nitric oxide and neutrophils on lung damage after burn was investigated. DESIGN Prospective, experimental study. SETTING Research laboratory at a university hospital. SUBJECTS Thermal injury models in the rat. INTERVENTIONS In experiment 1, specific pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley rats underwent 35% total body surface area burn. At 4, 8, 16, and 24 hrs after burn, intestinal mucosa and lung tissue were harvested for myeloperoxidase (MPO) assay, blood was collected for measurement of peroxynitrite-mediated oxidation of dihydrorhodamine 123, and pulmonary microvascular dysfunction was quantified by measuring the extravasation of Evans blue dye. In experiment 2, polymorphonuclear granulocyte antibody (0.12 mL/100 g administered intraperitoneally 16 hrs before burn), S-methylisothiourea (7.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, immediately after burn), a specific inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, and sterile saline (15 mL/kg, intraperitoneally, immediately after burn) were given to different groups of thermally injured animals individually. The plasma dihydrorhodamine 123 oxidation level, intestinal and lung MPO activity, lung permeability, and lung histology were evaluated at 8 hrs after burn. The cellular localization of nitrotyrosine, a marker for peroxynitrite reactivity, was also examined by immunostaining. In experiment 3, 3-morpholinosydnonimine (10 mM, intraperitoneally), a peroxynitrite donor, was given to nonburned rats to examine the peroxynitrite effect on lung inducible nitric oxide synthase expression. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The level of MPO activity in intestine and lung, blood dihydrorhodamine 123 oxidation, and lung permeability were increased up to 2-fold, 2.5-fold, 2-fold, and 2-fold of normal, respectively, at 8 hrs after burn. S-methylisothiourea injection significantly decreased (p <.05) 31% of the lung MPO activity, 41% of the blood peroxynitrite level, 54% of the lung permeability, and the lung peroxynitrite production in burned rats. Polymorphonuclear granulocyte antibody pretreatment significantly decreased 60% of the intestinal MPO, 92% of the blood peroxynitrite level, and 56% the lung MPO activity in burned rats, but the lung permeability was only slightly decreased by polymorphonuclear granulocyte antibody pretreatment. Furthermore, 3-morpholinosydnonimine increased the lung inducible nitric oxide synthase messenger RNA levels. CONCLUSIONS Thermal injury induces blood dihydrorhodamine 123 oxidation, intestinal and lung neutrophil deposition, lung nitrotyrosine production, and lung damage. Both specific inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase and polymorphonuclear granulocyte antibody pretreatment decrease blood dihydrorhodamine 123 oxidation and intestinal and lung neutrophil deposition, but only inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibition with S-methylisothiourea reduces lung peroxynitrite production and thermal injury-induced lung damage. Nitric oxide and the ensuing peroxynitrite production in lung play a more important role than neutrophil in contributing to thermal injury-induced lung damage.
