Bone marrow (BM) dysfunction is common in severely injured trauma patients, resulting from elevated catecholamines and plasma granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) as well as prolonged mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). We have previously shown that propranolol (β-blocker [BB]) reduces HPC mobilization in a rodent model of injury and hemorrhagic shock. We hypothesize that BB would prevent BM dysfunction in humans following severe injury.
Forty-five severely injured trauma patients were studied in a prospective, randomized pilot trial. Twenty-five patients received BB, and 20 served as untreated controls. The dose of propranolol was adjusted to decrease the heart rate by 10% to 20% from baseline. Blood was analyzed for the presence of HPC (blast-forming unit erythroid cells [BFU-E] and colony-forming unit erythroid cells) and G-CSF. Demographic data, Injury Severity Score (ISS), hemoglobin, reticulocyte number, and outcome data were obtained.
The mean age of the study population was 33 years; 87% were male, with a mean ISS of 29. There is a significant increase in BFU-E in peripheral blood immediately following traumatic injury, and this mobilization persists for 30 days. The use of BB significantly decreases BFU-E and colony-forming unit erythroid cells at all time points. G-CSF is significantly elevated in both groups on admission; the use of BB decreases G-CSF levels by 51% as compared with 37% for controls. The average hemoglobin is nearly 1 g higher on the day of discharge with propranolol treatment (BB, 9.9 ± 0.4 g/dL vs. no BB, 9.1 ± 0.6 g/dL).
Following severe trauma, early treatment with propranolol following resuscitation is safe. The use of propranolol blunts early tachycardia, reduces HPC mobilization, and results in a faster return to baseline of the G-CSF peak seen after injury. There is also a trend toward faster recovery and resolution of anemia. Propranolol may be the first therapeutic agent to show improved BM function after severe injury.

骨髓(BM)功能障碍在严重创伤患者中很常见,这是由于儿茶酚胺和血浆粒细胞集落刺激因子(G-CSF)升高以及造血祖细胞(HPC)的长期动员所致。我们之前已经表明,普萘洛尔(β受体阻滞剂[BB])可减少啮齿动物创伤和失血性休克模型中的 HPC 动员。我们假设 BB 会防止严重创伤后人体的 BM 功能障碍。
在一项前瞻性、随机试验中研究了 45 名严重创伤的患者。25 名患者接受了 BB 治疗,20 名患者作为未治疗的对照组。普萘洛尔的剂量调整为使心率从基线降低 10%至 20%。分析血液中 HPC(红系爆式形成单位细胞[BFU-E]和红系集落形成单位细胞)和 G-CSF 的存在。获得人口统计学数据、损伤严重程度评分(ISS)、血红蛋白、网织红细胞计数和结果数据。
研究人群的平均年龄为 33 岁;87%为男性,平均 ISS 为 29。创伤后外周血中 BFU-E 立即显著增加,这种动员持续 30 天。BB 的使用在所有时间点均显著减少 BFU-E 和红系集落形成单位细胞。两组入院时 G-CSF 均显著升高;与对照组的 37%相比,BB 降低 G-CSF 水平 51%。接受普萘洛尔治疗的患者在出院当天的平均血红蛋白水平高出 1g(BB,9.9±0.4g/dL 与无 BB,9.1±0.6g/dL)。
在严重创伤后,复苏后早期使用普萘洛尔进行治疗是安全的。普萘洛尔的使用可减轻早期心动过速,减少 HPC 动员,并导致损伤后 G-CSF 峰值更快恢复至基线。贫血的恢复和缓解也呈上升趋势。普萘洛尔可能是第一个显示严重创伤后骨髓功能改善的治疗药物。
