Abstract EN
Trauma complicated by seawater immersion is a complex pathophysiological process with higher mortality than trauma occurring on land.
This study investigated the role of vascular endothelial cells (VECs) in trauma development in a seawater environment.
An open abdominal injury rat model was used.
The rat core temperatures in the seawater (SW, 22°C) group and normal sodium (NS, 22°C) group declined equivalently.
No rats died within 12 hours in the control and NS groups.
However, the median lethal time of the rats in the SW group was only 260 minutes.
Among the 84 genes involved in rat VEC biology, the genes exhibiting the high expression changes (84.62%, 11/13) on a qPCR array were associated with thrombin activity.
The plasma activated partial thromboplastin time and fibrinogen and vWF levels decreased, whereas the prothrombin time and TFPI levels increased, indicating intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation pathway activation and inhibition, respectively.
The plasma plasminogen, FDP, and D-dimer levels were elevated after 2 hours, and those of uPA, tPA, and PAI-1 exhibited marked changes, indicating disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
Additionally, multiorgan haemorrhagia was observed.
It indicated that seawater immersion during trauma may increase DIC, elevating mortality.
VECs injury might play an essential role in this process.
