项目摘要

Sepsis diagnosis poses significant clinical and scientific challenges. The incidence of sepsis in the US is twice the rate of congestive heart failure, six times the rate of colon cancer, and 20 times the incidence of AIDS, and sepsis is the single most significant expense in Medicare budget. Early and more accurate diagnostic of sepsis could save lives, reduce costs, and improve treatment. However, the precision of early sepsis diagnosis today is ~70% (one in every three patients is misdiagnosed). Blood cultures are the gold standard, but their results are available 3-4 days after clinical decisions have been made. Towards the goal of early and accurate sepsis diagnosis, we will focus on microfluidic tools that measure neutrophil inflammatory and anti-microbial functions. We will pursue three enabling technologies to better understand the functionality of neutrophils in the context of sepsis. We will increase the sensitivity and reduce the duration of a new assay for sepsis based on the spontaneous neutrophil migration, we will make precision measurements of neutrophil cooperation against live microbes using new swarming arrays, and we will design devices to trap neutrophil-derived chromatin from blood (cNETs) and identify bacteria in blood during sepsis.

败血症诊断带来了重大的临床和科学挑战。美国败血症的发生率是两次充血性心力衰竭的发生率，结肠癌发生率的六倍，是艾滋病发病率的20倍败血症是医疗保险预算中最重要的费用。败血症的早期，更准确的诊断可以挽救生命，降低成本并改善治疗。但是，当今败血症早期诊断的精度〜70％（每三个患者中有一个被误诊）。血液培养是黄金标准，但它们的结果在做出临床决策后3-4天可用。实现早期和准确的败血症的目标诊断，我们将专注于测量中性粒细胞炎症和抗菌功能的微流体工具。我们将追求三种能力技术，以更好地了解中性粒细胞的功能败血症。我们将提高灵敏度，并根据自发性嗜中性粒细胞迁移，我们将对中性粒细胞合作进行精确测量使用新的蜂群阵列的微生物，我们将设计设备以捕获中性粒细胞衍生的染色质血液（CNET）并鉴定败血症中血液中的细菌。
