Résumé
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) play a crucial role in T cell dysfunction, which is related to poor outcome in patients with severe trauma. Cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) contributes to immune disorder in trauma and infection via production of prostaglandin E2. However, the role of Cox-2 in the accumulation and function of MDSCs after traumatic stress has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we treated murine trauma model with NS398, a selective Cox-2 inhibitor. Then the percentages of CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells, proliferation and apoptosis of CD4+ T cells were determined. Arginase activity and arginase-1 (Arg-1) protein expression of splenic CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells, and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response were analyzed. The results showed that Cox-2 blockade significantly decreased the percentages of CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells in the spleen and bone marrow 48 and 72 h after traumatic stress. NS398 inhibited arginase activity and down-regulated the Arg-1 expression of splenic CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells. Moreover, NS398 could promote proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of CD4+ T cells. It also restored DTH response of traumatic mice. Taken together, our data revealed that Cox-2 might play a pivotal role in the accumulation and function of MDSC after traumatic stress.

Résumé
Posterior lumbopelvic fixation with iliac screws is the most commonly used method for unstable spinopelvic injuries. It has certain limitations including inability to use distraction along the spinopelvic rod as an indirect reduction maneuver, need for complex 3-dimensional rod contouring and complications such as hardware prominence and soft tissue coverage. In the present case report, we described a surgical technique of lumbopelvic fixation with sacral alar screws for traumatic spinopelvic instability resulted from a unilateral Denis-III comminuted sacral fracture and the L5 burst fracture. On the opposite side of the sacral fracture, caudal screws were implanted into the pedicle of the S1, whereas on the side of sacral fracture, two sacral alar screws were placed parallel to the superior sacral endplate as well as the plane of sacroiliac joint. In addition, horizontal stabilization was conducted with cross-link connections to maintain the longitudinal traction. For sacral fracture associated with traumatic spinopelvic instability, this modified lumbopelvic fixation technique using sacral alar screws makes longitudinal reduction easier, requires less rod contouring, and reduces hardware prominence without compromising the stability.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical manifestations, treatment, complications, and prognosis of patients with multiple injuries.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The clinical data, including the causes of injury, treatment, complications, causes of death, and mortality rate, of 4519 patients were retrospectively analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The major causes of injury were road traffic injury (2410 cases, 53.33%), violence injury (747 cases, 16.53%), and high falling injury (575 cases, 12.72%). The main involved positions included head (2247 cases, 18.71%), abdominal region and pelvis (2118 cases, 17.64%), and thoracic region (1853 cases, 15.43%). The major complications were shock (1497 cases, 33.13%). The main cause of death was sepsis with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome/failure (28 cases, 82.35%) after multiple injuries, significant higher than other causes in the same period (P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The multiple injuries have various causes of disease, and were complicated with their diverse clinical manifestations, numerous complications, and high mortalities. Further research on the integrated rescue mortality is required.</p>
