AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of oxygen-derived free radicals on stomach damage caused by haemorrhagic shock and the protective effects of scavengers like allopurinol and ranitidine.
- Forty-five rabbits were subjected to a 30-minute haemorrhagic shock followed by blood reinfusion, and their gastric health was evaluated post-treatment.
- Results showed that while all control animals had gastric lesions, those pre-treated with scavengers had significantly smaller lesions, highlighting the protective role of oxygen radical antagonists.
Article Abstract
The role of oxygen derived free radicals in gastric lesions induced by haemorrhagic shock and the protective effect of oxygen radical scavengers, allopurinol and ranitidine, were investigated. Forty five rabbits underwent haemorrhagic shock for 30 minutes and reinfusion of shed blood. They were killed 30 minutes later. The animals were divided in five groups: A (n = 10): Control, B (n = 10): intravenous ranitidine pretreatment, C (n = 10): oral allopurinol, 24 and 2 h before surgery; D (n = 10): intravenous pretreatment with superoxide Dismutase plus catalase, E (n = 5): 60 minute haemorrhagic shock without reinfusion and treatment. Erosions and/or petechiae in all animals in Group A were observed. Three animals in group B and C and 2 in group D (p less than 0.005, p less than 0.001) had gastric lesions. The lesions in the pretreatment groups were significantly smaller than in controls. Oxygen radicals plus HCl play an important role in shock induced gastric lesions. Oxygen radical antagonists show a significant protective role.

Background: Burn-hemorrhagic shock combined injury, a severe condition causing complex stress responses and metabolic disturbances that significantly affect clinical outcomes in both military and civilian settings, was modeled in swine to investigate the associated metabolomic and proteomic changes and identify potential biomarkers for disease prognosis.
Methods: Eight clean-grade adult male Landrace pigs (4-5 months, average weight 60-70 kg) were used to model burn-hemorrhagic shock combined injury. Serum samples collected at 0 h and 2 h post-injury were analyzed using metabolomic and proteomic measurements.

Hemorrhage is a leading cause of preventable death in military and civilian trauma medicine. Fluid resuscitation is the primary treatment option, which can be difficult to manage when multiple patients are involved. Traditional vital signs needed to drive resuscitation therapy being unavailable without invasive catheter placement is a challenge.

Hemorrhagic shock is caused by rapid loss of a significant blood volume, which leads to insufficient blood flow and oxygen delivery to organs and tissues, resulting in severe physiological derangements, organ failure, and death. Physiologic derangements after hemorrhage are due in a large part to the body's strong inflammatory response, which leads to severe immune dysfunction, and secondary complications such as chronic immunosuppression, increased susceptibility to infection, coagulopathy, multiple organ failure, and unregulated inflammation. Immediate management of hemorrhagic shock includes timely control of the source of bleeding, restoring intravascular volume, preferably with whole blood, and prevention of ischemia and organ failure by optimizing tissue oxygenation.

Hemorrhagic shock remains a leading cause of preventable death worldwide, with mortality patterns varying significantly based on injury mechanisms and severity. This comprehensive review examines the complex pathophysiology of hemorrhagic shock, focusing on the temporal evolution of inflammatory responses, biomarker utility, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions. The inflammatory cascade progresses through distinct phases, beginning with tissue injury and endothelial activation, followed by a systemic inflammatory response that can transition to devastating immunosuppression.

: Exsanguination is a leading cause of preventable death in military and civilian settings due to extensive blood loss and hemorrhagic shock, which trigger systemic effects such as impaired tissue perfusion, hypoxia, inflammation, and multi-organ dysfunction. Standard resuscitation restores blood volume but fails to address critical aspects of hemorrhagic shock, including inflammation, coagulopathy, and reperfusion injury. To address these limitations, novel phospholipid nanoparticle (PNP)-based resuscitative fluids, VBI-S and VBI-1, were developed to modulate nitric oxide (NO) levels, improving hemodynamic stability, tissue oxygenation, and reducing inflammatory injury.
