The investigators performed single-cell transcriptomic sequencing (BD Rhapsody) on neutrophil and PBMCs extracted from the fresh circulating blood from 3 patients with TLI and 3 patients with ILI at longitudinal timepoints,as well as peripheral blood from 3 health controls(HCs). Three time points are picked by clinical conditions of patients with TLI or ILI: day 1 post hospital admission, day 3 post hospital and the day before discharged which matched to acute stage,progressive stage and convalescence.
The goal of this observational study is to profile the circulating immunological traits of patients with traumatic lung injury (TLI) and inhalation injury (ILI),providing a new direction for the depth research of the pathogenesis, and providing new immune-related targets for diagnosis of the severity of lung injury and treatment.~The investigators performed scRNA-seq of neutrophil and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 10 ml fresh circulating blood from 3 patients with TLI and 3 patients with ILI at longitudinal timepoints,as well as peripheral blood from 3 health controls(HCs).
