| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) basically play beneficial roles to maintain host homeostasis against external disturbance including infection, excessive ROS generation by activated neutrophils can cause organ damage. We investigated the role of burn-induced ROS generation in the injured hosts, focusing on postburn infection. Inhibition of the ROS production during/immediately after injury did not improve the burn-induced susceptibility to infection or the neutrophil dysfunction. Interestingly, inhibition of the subsequent ROS production potently restored the neutrophil functions and hematopoietic function of the bone marrow cells, thereby improving the postburn infection. Although the inhibition of burn-evoked ROS generation is effective against burn-induced organ injury, it may be ineffective against postburn infection. Preservation of the immediate burn-evoked ROS production, but the inhibition of subsequent ROS production, may be crucial to protect against postburn infection.
