Abstract
Appropriate polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) recruitment is essential for host defense against infection. We investigated the significance of the preoperative PMN adhesion-migration process, as assessed by the flow chamber method, on postoperative infectious complications. Thirty-one consecutive patients with gastrointestinal malignancies, 21 colorectal and 10 gastric, who were undergoing elective surgery were enrolled. PMNs, isolated preoperatively from each patient's venous blood, were perfused onto a tumor necrosis factor alpha-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) monolayer through the flow chamber. We evaluated the adherent PMN number, the migrated PMN number, and the stuck PMN number by directly inspecting PMN interactions with a HUVEC monolayer under continuous shear flow simulating postcapillary venules. The expression of adhesion molecules on circulating PMNs was also measured. Patients were grouped into an infectious and a noninfectious group according to the occurrence of postoperative infectious complications defined by the Centers for Disease Control criteria. Eleven patients developed postoperative infectious complications. Although the number of preoperative in vitro adherent PMNs in patients...Continue Reading
