Title: A longitudinal pilot study on hemodynamically stable isolated chest trauma patients reveals sustained dysregulation of oxidative metabolism
Project Description: Metabolomic dysregulation precedes clinical deterioration following injury. However, despite receiving comparable treatment, patients with similar injury severity often follow different clinical trajectories and outcomes. Metabolic profiling following an injury can aid in detecting systemic changes early and identifying novel biomarkers, enabling targeted interventions to improve patient outcomes. We hypothesized that metabolomic profiling in acutely injured patients would identify the perturbed metabolites and the physiological pathways within the first 72 hours of injury. Hence, this prospective study at a level 1 trauma centre analyzed the differentially regulated urine metabolites in patients with isolated blunt chest injuries and their longitudinal correlation with the severity of the injury. The study screened 1999 acutely injured patients with chest trauma between September 2019 and February 2023. Fifty hemodynamically stable patients with isolated chest trauma were recruited for the final analysis. Urine samples were collected on the injury's day 1, day 3, and day 7 day post-trauma. The study found that twenty metabolites were dysregulated in these patients (p-value <0.001). Twelve metabolites were upregulated, while the other eight showed downregulation. However, only five metabolites showed temporal association. These differentially regulated metabolites were involved in Glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism pathways, glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism, and the Citrate cycle (TCA cycle). These metabolites could serve as biomarkers for early detection of systemic changes following chest injuries.

101 IMSM_100710 n2c Homo sapiens | 9607 Urine The urine samples were thawed during NMR measurements, and 0.5 ml of urine samples were transferred to a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube to eliminate contaminants of larger molecules. The samples were centrifuged at 10000g at 4 °C for 10 minutes to remove solid debris. Next, 180 µl of urine samples in the supernatant (metabolite) were transferred to a fresh centrifuge tube, and 20 µl NMR buffer (1.5 M KH2PO4, 2 mM NaN3, 5.8 mM sodium 3-(trimethylsilyl) propionate-2,2,3,3-d4 in D2O pH 7.4) was gently mixed. The resulting solutions were transferred to separate 3 mm NMR tubes. Trauma patients Male 27 N/A -80
