The innate limitations of sterile technique, vaccines, and antibiotics apparent in host defense enhancement provide fertile ground for the study of other concepts. The goals of this new research are to avoid infection or facilitate recovery in the surgical setting and to develop new, safe, and efficient host defense stimulants. Current laboratory work with surgically simulated infection suggests that nonspecific host defense enhancement may offer genuine improvement in selected clinical situations.
在增强宿主防御方面，无菌技术、疫苗和抗生素存在固有限制，这为研究其他概念提供了丰富的土壤。这项新研究的目标是在手术环境中避免感染或促进康复，并开发新的、安全且高效的宿主防御刺激剂。目前针对手术模拟感染的实验室研究表明，非特异性增强宿主防御可能在某些临床情况下带来切实的改善。
