“…Respiratory burst was measured spectrofluorometrically using an excitation wavelength of 488 nm and an emission wavelength of 530 nm. A detailed description can be found elsewhere [23]. Briefly, freshly isolated PMN (2ϫ10 6 cells/reaction) were applied into the cuvette containing DHR 123 (15 ng/ml).…”

“…The value of these tests has been well established in a variety of disease processes. Marked differences have been observed in leukocyte CD11b expression (3–6) and oxidative burst response (7–9) between patients and healthy volunteers. However, empirical observations have suggested that considerable variability exists among individuals in the degree of oxidative burst and CD11b expression in leukocytes.…”

“…Although this mechanism was not investigated further, mechanical injury to vascular endothelial cells as a result of bone marrow and fragment emboli could lead to increased vascular congestion, permeability, and the accumulation of leukocytes in the pulmonary vessels. Systemically and locally, pulmonary neutrophil infiltration has been linked to the cytokine IL-8 23,24. Although not formally investigated, heightened levels of IL-8 seen in this study may be secondary to pulmonary vascular congestion and perivascular leukocyte infiltration (although the amount of marrow emboli was not quantified), which can be associated with long bone fracture or reperfusion.…”

“…In a pulmonary tissue injury model (lung reperfusion syndrome), elevation in IL-8 levels were associated with neutrophil infiltration into lung tissue and increased levels of neutrophils in bronchoalveloar lavage fluid, suggesting that IL-8 is a major mediator involved in neutrophil recruitment and neutrophil-dependent tissue damage 23. In addition to the pulmonary injury, fracture fluid (hematoma combined with fracture-generated cellular debris) released into circulation has been shown to contain significant levels of IL-8 and initiates the release of oxidative mediators (respiratory burst) within pulmonary tissue 24. Clinically, IL-8 levels have been shown to be elevated in traumatic deaths,7 but not in nontraumatic deaths, and serum levels at admission have been identified as the most important determinant of post-injury mortality in children following blunt trauma 8…”
