<abstract>
<p>If a trauma (or infection) exceeds the body&#x2019;s evolutionary design limits, a stress response is activated to quickly restore homeostasis. However, when the injury severity score is high, death is often imminent. The goal of this review is to provide an update on the effect of small-volume adenosine, lidocaine and Mg<sup>2+</sup> (ALM) therapy on increasing survival and blunting secondary injury after non-compressible hemorrhagic shock and other trauma and infective/endotoxemic states. Two standout features of ALM therapy are: (1) resuscitation occurs at permissive hypotensive blood pressures (MAPs 50&#x2013;60&#x2009;mmHg), and (2) the drug confers neuroprotection at these low pressures. The therapy appears to reset the body&#x2019;s baroreflex to produce a high-flow, hypotensive, vasodilatory state with maintained tissue O<sub>2</sub> delivery. Whole body ALM protection appears to be afforded by NO synthesis-dependent pathways and shifting central nervous system (CNS) control from sympathetic to parasympathetic dominance, resulting in improved cardiovascular function, reduced immune activation and inflammation, correction of coagulopathy, restoration of endothelial glycocalyx, and reduced energy demand and mitochondrial oxidative stress. Recently, independent studies have shown ALM may also be useful for stroke, muscle trauma, and as an adjunct to Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA). Ongoing studies have further shown ALM may have utility for burn polytrauma, damage control surgery and orthopedic surgery. Lastly, we discuss the clinical applications of ALM fluid therapy for prehospital and military far-forward use for non-compressible hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury (TBI).</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>We have been developing ALM therapy for hypotensive resuscitation for over 15&#x2009;years. In 2016 we summarized the developments to that date, which included treatment for myocardial ischemia&#x2013;reperfusion injury, cardiac arrest, polymicrobial sepsis and hemorrhagic shock (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>). The present update focuses on ALM development for hypotensive resuscitation and traumatic brain injury (TBI) with the goal for clinical translation as a small-volume prehospital therapy for civilian and military far-forward use.</p>

<p>L&#x00E9;on Fredericq (1885) Quoted from Cannon (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>), p. 399</p>
</disp-quote>
<p>Although Fredericq&#x2019;s ideas have been lost to the archives for over 130&#x2009;years, his writings on design agency still resonate in Walter Cannon&#x2019;s concept of homeostasis, which was formulated around 1926 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>). Cannon acknowledged Fredericq&#x2019;s ideas and those of Claude Bernard, Eduard Pfluger and Charles Richet, in developing his principles of the steady-state and self-regulation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>). Design agency helps define the limits an organism can tolerate when placed under environmental or physiological stress. If a trauma (or infection) exceeds the body&#x2019;s evolutionary design limits, a stress response activates the sympathetic nervous system and secondary processes in an attempt to quickly restore whole body homeostasis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>). Multiple factors that influence the body&#x2019;s ability to restores homeostasis, including the type and severity of injury, prehospital and medical care proficiencies and the patient&#x2019;s physiological reserve, which itself depends upon age, sex and other genetic and non-genetic influences (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6">6</xref>). In addition, if a patient requires emergent surgery, the surgery itself can elicit further traumatic stress from the barrage of damage signals triggered by intervention, despite a successful operation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6">6</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7">7</xref>). Our working hypothesis to successfully treat an injury (or infection) is to prevent the system from &#x2018;overshooting&#x2019; its design limits, and thereby reduce the impact of the primary trauma and secondary injury complications. Before we discuss the development of ALM therapy in treating trauma, we will briefly discuss the importance of the system in this context.</p>

<title>Trauma: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts</title>
<disp-quote>
<p>After physiology has taken Humpty Dumpty apart, it is difficult perhaps (even unfashionable) to put him back together again. Consequently, traditional analytical approaches like those in physiology can be positively misleading when applied to problems involving the performance of intact organism.</p>
</disp-quote>
<disp-quote>
<p>George Bartholomew (1919&#x2013;2006) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">8</xref>), p. 327</p>
</disp-quote>
<p>Bartholomew&#x2019;s point is important. Currently, the price we pay for drilling deeper and deeper into life&#x2019;s inner workings is having less and less information on how the individual parts make up the whole (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref9">9</xref>). This reductionist way of thinking has crept into the way we problem-solve, diagnose, treat and prevent diseases (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10">10</xref>). Reductionism is the general principle that complex phenomena can be explained by conceptually reducing them to a set of simple variables (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">8</xref>). It assumes that understanding the isolated parts, and their structures, have sufficient explanatory power to provide an understanding of the system. As noted by Bartholomew, however, this process can be misleading or incomplete when applied to the intact organism (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">8</xref>). After major trauma or disease, the practice of identifying and treating one clinical defect at a time, and so on down the line, is an example of this way of thinking, which can often lead to what US surgeon William C. Shoemaker considered: &#x201C;an uncoordinated and sometimes contradictory therapeutic outcome&#x201D; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref11">11</xref>). Lack of more systems-based approaches in medicine and biology may contribute to why there are so few effective drugs translate from animals to humans (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref12">12</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref13">13</xref>). The key point is that despite an overwhelming amount of mechanistic data being generated from basic scientific research, its relevance to the workings of the whole animal has not kept pace. Reductionism is important in breaking a complex system into its simpler parts, but it does not do away with the system. We have argued elsewhere that the failure to reconstruct the system can be traced back to the molecular revolution of the 20th century, which began in earnest around 1953 after the discovery of DNA (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>). Nobel Laureate Sir Francis Crick embodied this position when he wrote &#x201C;the ultimate aim of the modern movement in biology is to explain all biology in terms of physics and chemistry&#x201D; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">14</xref>). A more detailed historical discussion of the subject of reductionism, and its limitations, can be found in our recent review (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>).</p>

<title>Early work on alm: cardioplegic arrest to resuscitation</title>

<p>In 1998, GPD asked if it was possible to make the human heart operate more like the heart of a natural hibernator to improve its protection during cardiac surgery (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>). For over 60&#x2009;years, cardioplegia have been based on high potassium (K<sup>+</sup>) solutions to depolarize the heart from &#x2212;84 to &#x2212;50&#x2009;mV, and thereby induce diastolic arrest (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref16">16</xref>). High K<sup>+</sup> can induce ischemia during arrest and reperfusion injury after reanimation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref16">16</xref>). An alternative idea to arrest the heart more naturally at or near its resting membrane potential was to use: (1) adenosine (A) to inhibit the sinoatrial (SA) node and reduce action potential (AP) duration via the adenosine A1 receptor-linked opening of K<sub>ATP</sub> channels; (2) lidocaine (L) to reduce AP amplitude by blocking voltage-dependent Na<sup>+</sup> fast channels, and (3) magnesium (M) to stabilize the cardiac membrane and protect against reperfusion arrhythmias via its ability to raise the threshold for fibrillation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref16">16</xref>). The ALM Zero K<sup>+</sup> cardioplegia idea was subsequently translated from the isolated rat heart to human cardiac surgery (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">17</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref18">18</xref>) and supported by two prospective, randomized, clinical trials in high- and low-risk patients, which showed that ALM cardioplegia was superior to Buckberg high K<sup>+</sup> solution (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">17</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref18">18</xref>).</p>
<p>The second ALM idea came after observing the rapid reanimation of the human heart following cardiac surgery when 10-times lower concentrations of ALM were infused into the heart for 2&#x2013;5 min (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref16">16</xref>). Could this lower dose ALM resuscitate and protect the heart after major trauma? Over the past 12&#x2009;years, we have shown that small-volume low dose ALM IV infusion protects the heart and whole body against cardiac arrest, regional myocardial ischemia, hemorrhagic shock (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>), polymicrobial sepsis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref19">19</xref>), endotoxemia (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">20</xref>), TBI (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref21">21</xref>) and the trauma of major surgery (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref22">22</xref>). Importantly, the individual actives, A, L or M failed to confer these benefits; it is only the combination that resuscitates and confers whole body protection (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref23">23</xref>). In our earliest studies, the vehicle was 7.5% NaCl to assist in raising mean arterial pressure (MAP) in shock states and possibly reduce brain edema and intra cranial pressure after TBI. This was later changed to 3% NaCl, which is approved by the FDA, and reportedly reduces oxidative stress (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref24">24</xref>). Below, we provide a brief update on ALM therapy&#x2019;s ability to improve central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular function, protect the endothelium glycocalyx, and confer mitochondrial metabolic support after different trauma states from studies conducted in our laboratory, as well as others around the world. We will further argue that ALM is emerging as a systems-acting therapy that has wide applications by reducing the progression of secondary injury after trauma, surgery or infection. Lastly, we will discuss possible mechanisms underlying ALM&#x2019;s short- and long-term benefits which appear to involve NO synthesis pathways (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref25">25</xref>).</p>

<title>Addressing a major gap in resuscitation: permissive hypotension</title>
<disp-quote>
<p>The concept of &#x201C;permissive hypotension&#x201D; refers to managing trauma patients by restricting the amount of resuscitation fluid and maintaining blood pressure in the lowest than normal range if there is continuing bleeding during the acute period of injury.</p>
</disp-quote>
<disp-quote>
<p>Kudo et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref26">26</xref>), p. 1</p>
</disp-quote>
<p>Most trauma deaths are secondary to CNS injury, non-compressible bleeding, airway insufficiency, and multiple organ failure (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>). Hemorrhage contributes to 33&#x2013;56% of pre hospital deaths (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref27">27</xref>), which increases to 90% in far-forward military environments (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref28">28</xref>). The first goal of first responders is to stop the bleeding, raise MAP if the patient is in shock, prevent rebleeding, and stabilize the casualty. Currently, there is no fluid therapy to effectively resuscitate and stabilize the patient. Key features of ALM&#x2019;s anti-shock therapy in rats and pigs is its capability to resuscitate the heart, provide neuroprotection and reduce internal bleeding <italic>at hypotensive MAPs</italic> (50&#x2013;60&#x2009;mmHg) after hemorrhagic shock (<xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Figure 1</xref>) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref29 ref30 ref31">29&#x2013;31</xref>). A concern with past hypotensive therapies is brain ischemia and functional loss from insufficient cerebral blood flow (CBF) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref32">32</xref>). Neuronal dysfunction occurs when cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) falls to ~40% of normal, and irreversible damage occurs at 20% CPP if sustained for &#x003E;1&#x2009;h (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref32">32</xref>). Hypotensive resuscitation is especially contraindicated in patients with TBI for the same reasons (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref26">26</xref>).</p>

<p>To our knowledge, ALM is the first fluid therapy that resuscitates into the permissive hypotension range. In the pig model of non-compressible hemorrhagic shock, despite a significant decrease in CPP (~25%), ALM-treated animals has significantly reduced cerebral oxygen consumption (28%), reduced brain glycerol (60%) and lactate (47%), and lowered relative gene expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1&#x03B1; (HIF-1&#x03B1;) (38%) compared with saline controls (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref31">31</xref>). ALM therapy appears to solve four problems in damage control resuscitation; (1) MAP is raised to hypotensive MAPs (~60&#x2009;mmHg) using small volumes (1&#x2013;4&#x2009;mL/kg), (2) non-compressible blood loss is reduced (presumably via ALM coagulopathy correction), (3) rebleeding or &#x2018;popping the clot&#x2019; is minimized, and (4) cerebral protection is afforded at these lower pressures (<xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Figure 1</xref>). ALM-induced neuroprotection also occurs after moderate TBI with 3-fold increases in cortical blood flow, lower cortical and systemic inflammation (up to 70% fall) and significantly reduced neuronal injury compared to saline controls (see below) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref21">21</xref>).</p>

<title>The CNS stress response: first pillar to control sympathetic hyperdrive</title>
<disp-quote>
<p>Shock is the &#x201C;a rude unhinging of the machinery of life.&#x201D;</p>
</disp-quote>
<disp-quote>
<p>Samuel Gross (1862) Quoted from (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref33">33</xref>), p. 437</p>
</disp-quote>
<p>The importance of CNS control of traumatic injury cannot be overstated (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref34">34</xref>). The extent of CNS &#x2018;unhinging&#x2019; depends on stress signals being received from damaged peripheral nerves and circulating damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), cytokines and chemokines from the site of injury, which can move across the blood brain barrier (BBB) and alter CNS autoregulatory functions (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref35">35</xref>). If this early stress response can be suppressed, it is possible that the secondary injury processes driven by uncontrolled sympathetic discharge may be attenuated (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref36">36</xref>).</p>
<p>Five lines of evidence from animal models suggest ALM therapy blunts the CNS stress response [<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Figure 2</xref>; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref36">36</xref>)]: (1) ALM infusion led to a 30-fold increase in parasympathetic/sympathetic receptor expression ratio in the heart reflecting a switch from sympathetic to parasympathetic dominance responsible for the improved cardiac function and reduced systemic inflammation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref36">36</xref>); (2) its ability to protect the cerebral cortex in the pig model of non-compressible hemorrhagic shock by significantly lowering ischemic biomarkers (see above) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref31">31</xref>); (3) from an independent study of Wang and colleagues showing that ALM therapy led to a significant reduction of neuronal injury markers neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S100 calcium binding protein (S100B) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-9) in a rat ischemic stroke model (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref37">37</xref>), (4) its ability to significantly reduce release of the DAMP high mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) and brain injury markers (NSE, syndecan-1), following moderate TBI in a rat model (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref21">21</xref>); and (5) its ability to prevent TBI-induced neurogenic cardiac failure and provide multiorgan protection [<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Figure 2</xref>; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref38">38</xref>)]. ALM-CNS modulation in different trauma models by us, and others, support further translational studies to human safety trials.</p>

<title>Cardiovascular support: second pillar to improve trauma outcomes</title>
<disp-quote>
<p>Little evidence exists to guide the use of crystalloid in the setting of prehospital resuscitation after injury, and a universal approach to prehospital resuscitation does not exist.</p>
</disp-quote>
<disp-quote>
<p>Weykamp et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref39">39</xref>), p. 28</p>
</disp-quote>
<p>Concern over crystalloid (ab)use use has a long history. In 1911, Evans wrote the following in JAMA: &#x201C;One cannot fail to be impressed with the danger of&#x2026;the utter recklessness with which salt solution is frequently prescribed, particularly in the postoperative period&#x2026;&#x201D; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref40">40</xref>). We argue the same applies today. The main goal of fluid resuscitation is to support cardiovascular function to deliver adequate oxygen to the tissues of the body. However, current therapies fail to increase cardiac output (CO) in up to 50% of trauma patients (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref41">41</xref>), which is particularly problematic in hemorrhaging patients with aggravation of coagulopathy, inflammation and tissue hypoperfusion (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref42">42</xref>). Smaller resuscitation fluid volumes are now recommended (200&#x2013;500&#x2009;mL) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref43">43</xref>), however, this does not assist non-responders. In addition, an unappreciated fact is that around one-third of major trauma patients have abnormal echocardiographic ventricular wall motion, lower CO, and increased plasma troponin 1, despite inotrope and vasopressor support (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref42">42</xref>). Restoring cardiac function and tissue O<sub>2</sub> delivery following hemorrhagic shock is a major gap in prehospital trauma care.</p>
<p>In rat models of up to 60% blood loss and pig models of 75% blood loss, improved cardiovascular function during small-volume ALM resuscitation was associated with significant increases in stroke volume (SV), CO and systolic ejection time, which was associated with improved tissue O<sub>2</sub> delivery and reduced blood lactate (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref44">44</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref45">45</xref>). A standout feature of ALM resuscitation is a fall in systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and therefore afterload on the left ventricle compared to saline controls [<xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Figures 1</xref>, <xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref31">31</xref>)]. A more compliant system with higher arterial elastance may be the result of the following: (1) ALM&#x2019;s ability to reduce sympathetic outflows and oscillations from the CNS to the periphery, and (2) ALM&#x2019;s effect to reduce arteriolar tone and opening of vascular beds. A reduced arterial tone is supported by recent studies showing ALM solution relaxes rat thoracic aortic rings and guinea pig mesenteric arteries, and this vasodilatory effect of ALM may contribute to lowering SVR (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref46">46</xref>). A lower SVR after ALM treatment has also been shown in pigs during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxemia (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">20</xref>). ALM therapy decreased SVR by 60% compared to 20% in saline controls, and surprisingly maintained CO and O<sub>2</sub> delivery at a hypotensive MAPs of ~47&#x2009;mmHg over 4&#x2009;h (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">20</xref>). A MAP of 47&#x2009;mmHg typically is considered the lower limit of vascular autoregulation and incompatible with life (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref47">47</xref>). This ALM hypotensive state during hemorrhage and endotoxemia is in direct contrast to systemic hypotension that develops from failure of cardiovascular function after major trauma.</p>
<p>We termed this new ALM-induced set-point as: &#x201C;a high-flow, hypotensive, vasodilatory state with improved O<sub>2</sub> delivery and cerebral protection&#x201D; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref31">31</xref>). O<sub>2</sub> delivery was maintained in part by ALM&#x2019;s ability to optimize ventriculo-arterial (VA) coupling [<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Figure 2</xref>; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">17</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">20</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref45">45</xref>)]. VA coupling is the ratio of arterial elastance (Ea) to left-ventricular (LV) elastance (Ees) and reflects the efficiency of the heart to eject blood and the ability of the arterial system to receive it (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref48">48</xref>). When the Ees/Ea ratio is close to unity, the efficiency of transfer is considered optimal. If the ratio is excessively low or high, the heart as a pump and the vascular load become uncoupled and tissue O<sub>2</sub> perfusion is compromised (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">17</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref45">45</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref48">48</xref>). In the case of CNS dysregulation, if the proximal arteries become less compliant and afterload increases or if the heart cannot relax optimally, the heart&#x2019;s ability to eject blood is reduced with subsequent loss of SV, CO and tissue O<sub>2</sub> delivery (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>). <italic>The clinical advantage of VA coupling over ejection fraction (EF) is that it provides both LV function</italic> and <italic>arterial load properties</italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref48">48</xref>).</p>
<p>From a system&#x2019;s perspective, we propose that ALM maintains VA coupling by resetting the CNS-baroreflex, dilating the arterial system (indicated by a fall in SVR, see above), restoring LV contractility and improving LV relaxation (<xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Figures 1</xref>, <xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>). Relaxing the myocardium and increasing systolic ejection time appears to be a unique property of ALM therapy and occurs during reanimation of the heart following cardiac surgery (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">17</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref18">18</xref>). University of Verona Hospital cardiac surgeons, who conducted two prospective randomized ALM cardioplegia trials in high and low-risk patients, also reported restoration of ALM-linked VA coupling, increased contractility and relaxation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">17</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref18">18</xref>). More studies are required to examine the underlying molecular mechanisms including Ca<sup>2+</sup> handling during the cardiac cycle and arterial compliance, as well as a role of nitric oxide (NO) (see below) and mitochondrial integrity. Future studies in trauma care will hopefully provide more context and utility of VA coupling (Ees/Ea ratio) for goal-directed resuscitation to potentially predict and improve patient outcomes (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>). In summary, ALM&#x2019;s resuscitative effect to produce a high flow, hypotensive, vasodilatory state to maintain tissue O<sub>2</sub> delivery appears to be unique compared to other fluid therapies, and provides the preclinical support to the next steps of human translation.</p>

<p>Another curious finding was that ALM&#x2019;s ability to resuscitate MAP is abolished in the presence of the nonselective NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor L-N<sup>G</sup>-Nitro arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) [<xref rid="fig3" ref-type="fig">Figure 3</xref>; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref25">25</xref>)]. It is widely known that L-NAME increases MAP following hemorrhagic shock via its cardiac and arteriolar vasoconstrictive effects (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref50">50</xref>). We confirmed this MAP-raising effect in our saline controls in a rat hemorrhagic shock model where MAP increased from ~30 to ~60&#x2009;mmHg following bolus administration of 7.5% NaCl + (L-NAME) [<xref rid="fig3" ref-type="fig">Figure 3</xref>; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref25">25</xref>)]. <italic>The inability of ALM to resuscitate MAP in the presence of L-NAME indicates activation of one or more NO-producing pathways for its normal operation</italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref25">25</xref>). Two likely candidates for ALM-NO interactions are possible. First, is the effect of L-NAME on the medulla&#x2019;s NTS, which is known to express both endothelial and neuronal forms of NOS (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref51">51</xref>), and controls the sympathetic and parasympathetic outputs to the heart, which ALM appears to modulate (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref52">52</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref53">53</xref>). Second, NO receptors are implicated in systemic vascular compliance, which would impact on ALM&#x2019;s ability to lower SVR and resuscitate MAP (discussed above).</p>

<p>With respect to the first possible mechanisms, modulation of adenosine A1 receptors within the NTS, and possibly lidocaine&#x2019;s actions, are known to control cardiovascular function <italic>in vivo</italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref54">54</xref>). Activation of adenosine receptors and NO pathways have been shown to differentially inhibit or reset the baroreflex control of MAP, HR, and renal sympathetic nerve activity (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref54">54</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref55">55</xref>). Bilateral microinjections of lidocaine into the NTS have also been shown to increase MAP in alpha-chloralose-anesthetized control rats (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref56">56</xref>). Wang and colleagues further showed that the tonic blockade of cardiac sympathetic afferent reflex by epicardial lidocaine in chronic heart failure experiments can reduce the activity of NTS chemoreceptive neurons, and alter sympathetic outflows to the heart, and possibly other organs (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref57">57</xref>). Thus, ALM&#x2019;s ability to resuscitate MAP following hemorrhagic shock, and other trauma states, appears to involve crosstalk between NO within the NTS, and resetting of the baroreflex and cardiovascular coupling (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref25">25</xref>).</p>

<p>Trauma-associated injury to the endothelial-glycocalyx is termed Endotheliopathy of Trauma (EoT) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref59">59</xref>). EoT is characterized by endothelial activation, heightened vasoreactivity, fluid shifts, leakiness, leukocyte adhesion, inflammation, coagulopathy and mitochondrial dysfunction (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref59">59</xref>). Activation and damage can lead to glycocalyx shedding and the release of endothelial-bound thrombomodulin, tight junction proteins, syndecan-1, heparan sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and other proteoglycans and glycoproteins, into the circulation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref60">60</xref>). These injury markers also indicate widespread tissue damage, including damage to loss of BBB integrity (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref61">61</xref>) and amplification of the CNS stress response (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>).</p>
<p>Independent studies by Dubick and colleagues at the US Army Institute of Surgical Research have reported that ALM therapy almost completely reversed endothelial glycocalyx damage (97%) after severe hemorrhagic shock (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref58">58</xref>). We have also reported similar reductions in endothelial injury marker syndecan-1 after hemorrhagic shock and TBI (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref21">21</xref>). Restoration of the endothelial-glycocalyx is consistent with ALM&#x2019;s rapid correction of coagulopathy and blunting of systemic inflammation (see below) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref21">21</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref23">23</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref36">36</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref62">62</xref>), and resetting of the CNS-cardiovascular and O<sub>2</sub> delivery systems to tissue mitochondria (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>). A healthy endothelial-glycocalyx is essential for rapid recovery after major trauma.

Further work is required to examine the mechanisms underlying ALM&#x2019;s ability to restore and protect the endothelial-glycocalyx, and its relation to secondary injury reduction (coagulopathy, inflammation, immune dysfunction and metabolic stress) (discussed below).</p>

<p>An outstanding feature of ALM is that it significantly reduces local and systemic inflammation and corrects trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) and hyperfibrinolysis after hemorrhage, TBI, sepsis, endotoxemia, burns and major surgery in rat and pig models (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref30">30</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref62">62</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref65">65</xref>).

Our current working hypothesis is that ALM acts like a &#x201C;switch&#x201D; at the thrombomodulin (TM)-thrombin&#x2013;annexin II complex located on the endothelium and corrects TIC by shifting the complex&#x2019;s thrombin substrate specificity from the protein C pathway to the TAFI pathway (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref62">62</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref65">65</xref>).

Pgc1a is another sensor that can lead to increased ATP production via activation of mitochondrial respiratory genes, including cytochrome c and &#x03B2;-ATP synthase (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref70">70</xref>).

<title>ALM survival is contradicted in presence of analgesic buprenorphine</title>
<p>Not all trauma research using ALM has shown survival properties. In contrast to our work over a decade in three different rat and pig traumatic hemorrhage models (two pressure-controlled, volume-controlled and one non-compressible hemorrhage), the San Antonio Naval Medical Research Unit (NAMRU) reported ALM therapy was suboptimal to standard TCCC practice (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref72">72</xref>). In a pig model of pressure-controlled bleeding, How and colleagues reported that ALM was inferior to Hextend (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref72">72</xref>), which itself has been shown to be suboptimal (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>). How can our findings be reconciled with theirs? <italic>The short answer appears to be their use of buprenorphine as an analgesic.</italic> Buprenorphine is an opioid and has a number of adverse events including cardiac and respiratory depression, coagulopathy and immunomodulatory effects (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref73">73</xref>).</p>
<p>On the basis of How&#x2019;s findings, and our own sepsis studies, we subsequently conducted a number of ALM studies comparing buprenorphine with the non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) Carprieve&#x00AE; (carprofen). We found similar results to How et al., (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref74">74</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref75">75</xref>), including buprenorphine-linked reduced survival and coagulopathy (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref75">75</xref>). This represented an important advance irrespective of whether ALM is present or not, because buprenorphine is widely used in preclinical animal studies. Based on our studies and the literature findings of others in sepsis and burn models, we have argued that buprenorphine analgesic should not be used in trauma research (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref74 ref75 ref76">74&#x2013;76</xref>). The conflicting results on ALM&#x2019;s resuscitation ability reinforces the clinical importance of performing dose safety studies in small and large animals prior to human translation. In 2020, we successfully completed the first ALM toxicology study according to ICH guidelines and showed no adverse effects in rats or pigs over a range of ALM concentrations up to eight times those expected to be used clinically or in the field. Fortunately, buprenorphine is not used widely as an analgesic in trauma centers around the world or by combat medics in the field or for damage control surgery. The most commonly used analgesic in prehospital civilian and military emergency medicine is ketamine (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref77">77</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref78">78</xref>), which has no contraindications with ALM as reported in our pig studies (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref31">31</xref>).</p>

<p>Sir William Osler (1908) Quoted from Criado (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref79">79</xref>)</p>
</disp-quote>
<p>In civilian environments, up to 50% of trauma deaths involve hemorrhage (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref80">80</xref>), and increases to ~90% in forward military environments, where ~25% are potentially preventable (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref28">28</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref81">81</xref>). A recent retrospective study of UK deaths in Afghanistan found that two-thirds of deaths occurred within 10&#x2009;min of injury (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref81">81</xref>). For this reason, austere military and rural and remote environments are particularly challenging. Our goal is to translate ALM therapy for resuscitation and casualty stabilization in these prehospital environments, including mass casualty and terrorist events.</p>
<p>Application of ALM during and following Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) to reduce ischemia, coagulopathy and inflammation, is another emerging area of drug development being investigated by different military surgical teams at the Madigan Army Medical Center (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref82">82</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref83">83</xref>) and San Antonio Military Medical Center (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref84">84</xref>). In a pig model of 20% controlled hemorrhage, followed by 30&#x2009;min of supraceliac balloon occlusion, Conner and colleagues showed that a pre-REBOA bolus of ALM followed by 4&#x2009;h infusion reduced ischemia and significantly improved lactate, base deficit, and pH in the first hour following systemic reperfusion. A year later, the same group showed after 45&#x2009;min of supraceliac balloon occlusion that ALM therapy led to a significant reduction in CO, blunting of systemic inflammation (IL-12, IL-10, IL-4) and reduction of liver injury (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref83">83</xref>). The San Antonio group used a different approach as part of our Naval Medical Research Unit (NAMRU) collaboration with the group. They examined ALM&#x2019;s reversible cardioplegia properties to arrest the heart and buy time before performing REBOA to stop the bleeding (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref84">84</xref>). In an uncontrolled hemorrhage pig model, induced via a 1.5-cm right femoral arteriotomy, Stigall and colleagues showed that ALM-induced cardiac arrest followed 7&#x2009;min later by REBOA inflation significantly decrease the amount of blood loss by 27% at initial presentation, without compromising survival (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref84">84</xref>). These are early days. However, the results appear to be promising and survival outcomes may be improved with different timing and optimization of ALM doses (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>).</p>
<p>Other potential clinical applications of ALM include TBI, burns, improved healing following injury and trauma of surgery. The TBI preclinical data discussed above was from animals that were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated for 5&#x2009;h with no cognitive testing (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref21">21</xref>). Further studies are required in clinically relevant models of mild-to-severe TBI to examine the effect of ALM on blunting secondary injury with conscious monitoring over at least 30&#x2009;days. With respect to injury and the trauma of surgery, we have shown ALM significantly reduces intraarticular fibrosis compared to saline controls in a rat model of total knee arthroplasty (&#x2193;TGF-&#x03B2;1, &#x03B1;-SMA, FGF1, PDGFA, <italic>p</italic>&#x2009;&#x003C;&#x2009;0.05, <italic>n</italic>&#x2009;=&#x2009;6) and it improved range of motion by 2-fold compared to saline controls over the 28-day study period (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref22">22</xref>). We further showed that ALM therapy reduced relative gene expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine NF-&#x03BA;B by 66% (<italic>p</italic> =&#x2009;0.034) and MMP-13 gene expression by 50% in cartilage at day 28, with lesions visualized histologically (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref22">22</xref>). Our overall goal is to protect the knee joint (and other musculoskeletal tissue) from the trauma of surgery and reduce time to heal and later-life complications. Our most recent work shows that ALM appears to have sex-specific joint healing properties following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and reconstruction surgery (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref85">85</xref>). Lastly, we have completed a pilot study showing ALM therapy may have potential for treating burn trauma. We showed that small-volume ALM therapy protected the lung by significantly reducing oxidative stress (75% fall in malondialdehyde concentration), maintained alveolar and epithelial integrity, and improved cardiac function and O<sub>2</sub> delivery in the first 8&#x2009;h following a 30% total body surface area (TBSA) thermal burn in a rat model (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref86">86</xref>). Currently we are working on optimal dosages for ALM resuscitation and recovery after severe burns combined with hemorrhagic shock compared to standard-of-care Lactated Ringers. In summary, ALM may have clinical applications in a number of areas. While appreciating that the success rate of translating new drugs to humans is around 5% or less (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref87">87</xref>), the next phase is ALM drug development product formulation with all attending analytical methods for human application.</p>

<title>Conclusion</title>
<p>ALM therapy is emerging as a systems-acting drug therapy that confers CNS-cardiovascular coupling with endothelial and mitochondrial protection after different trauma and infective states. The first pillar of ALM protection appears to be blunting the CNS stress response and a shift toward parasympathetic dominance, which has an overall effect to reduce secondary injury processes (coagulopathy, inflammation, immunosuppression, oxidative stress) and improve the transfer of O<sub>2</sub> to tissue mitochondria. Future considerations include different roles of sex on ALM&#x2019;s underling ability to treat traumatic injury and understanding how ALM &#x2018;switches&#x2019; the system from an injury phenotype to a survival phenotype in different pathophysiological states. The amassed preclinical data in small and large animal models appears positive and supports future translation into humans after conducting the appropriate safety trials.</p>
