Abstract
Abstract: Sepsis remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although many more patients are surviving the acute event, a substantial number enters a state of persistent inflammation and immunosuppression, rendering them more vulnerable to infections. Modulating the host immune response has been a focus of sepsis research for the past 50 years, yet novel therapies have been few and far between. Although many septic patients have similar clinical phenotypes, pathways affected by the septic event differ not only between individuals but also within an individual over the course of illness. These differences ultimately impact overall immune function and response to treatment. Defining the immune state, or endotype, of an individual is critical to understanding which patients will respond to a particular therapy. In this review, we highlight current approaches to define the immune endotype and propose that these technologies may be used to "prescreen" individuals to determine which therapies are most likely to be beneficial.
期刊介绍:
SHOCK®: Injury, Inflammation, and Sepsis: Laboratory and Clinical Approaches includes studies of novel therapeutic approaches, such as immunomodulation, gene therapy, nutrition, and others. The mission of the Journal is to foster and promote multidisciplinary studies, both experimental and clinical in nature, that critically examine the etiology, mechanisms and novel therapeutics of shock-related pathophysiological conditions. Its purpose is to excel as a vehicle for timely publication in the areas of basic and clinical studies of shock, trauma, sepsis, inflammation, ischemia, and related pathobiological states, with particular emphasis on the biologic mechanisms that determine the response to such injury. Making such information available will ultimately facilitate improved care of the traumatized or septic individual.
