Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the immune response influenced by lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) and soluble CD14 (sCD14) in patients undergoing total hip replacement surgery.
  • Blood samples were collected before and after surgery to measure levels of LBP and sCD14, along with inflammatory cytokines.
  • The results showed increased levels of LBP at 24 hours and peaking at 3 days post-surgery, indicating a primed immune response due to the surgical trauma.

Objective And Design: This prospective study aims to identify differences in local and systemic chemokines kinetics within 24 h of a standardised human surgical trauma (total hip arthroplasty) and their impact on systemic polymorphonuclear cells.

Materials And Methods: We examined seven patients with coxarthrosis, but without comorbidity, who had a total hip arthroplasty. Local drained blood and systemic blood samples were collected at wound closure and at 1, 4, and 24 h after surgery.

Systemic and local cytokine kinetics after total hip replacement surgery.

Eur Surg Res

January 2009

Department of Orthopaedics, Rikshospitalet University Clinic, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway.

Background: Trauma induces local and subsequent systemic inflammatory reactions. Aberrant reactions can lead to a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, with a potentially lethal outcome. Our aim was to investigate the early local cytokine kinetic compared to systemic changes in a standardized surgical trauma.
