Abstract
It is known that the systemic response during sepsis is caused by proinflammatory mediators such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα). The inflammatory response in sepsis causes disorders in the brain in addition to multiorgan dysfunctions including the kidneys and liver [1]. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is induced in hepatocytes by sepsis and mediates hepatic injury [2]. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in the formation of sepsis and mediate inflammatory response and tissue damage [3]. On the other hand, there are some cases in which systemic inflammatory response occurs without the presence of infection such as epilepsy. Cytokines are well-known inflammatory mediators in the brain, and they increase following seizures. We previously demonstrated that pentyleneterazol (PTZ)-induced generalized epileptic seizures significantly increased inflammatory markers (TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6) in the brain and S100B in serum [4]. In this preliminary study, we aimed to investigate the MMP2, MMP9, NOS, and myeloperoxidase activity in the liver and kidney and levels of serum proinflammatory cytokines following PTZ-induced generalized clonic-tonic seizures.
Highlights
During the course of systemic inflammation, most of the immune cell types get activated to a certain degree as part of, or contributing to, the cascade of physiopathological events
After the development of sepsis we detected in all patients significantly increased heart rate, respiratory rate per minute, leukocytosis, anemia, worse glucose metabolism and renal function (Table 1)
Free KDO in the used concentration was inactive in regulation of TLR4, CD11b and CD14 expression and did not induce tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) release but its impact in biological activity was detected when KDO was applied as constituent of Re-LPS
Summary
During the course of systemic inflammation, most of the immune cell types get activated to a certain degree as part of, or contributing to, the cascade of physiopathological events. This study aimed to find out whether mean differences of 6-hour, 12-hour, and 24-hour lactate clearance were observed between nonsurvivors and survivors of acute phase mortality in severe sepsis and septic shock patients. Conclusion: A two-phase retrospective chart review study demonstrated that the SSST utilized at a community hospital in Miami had a sensitivity value of 41.49% and a specificity value of 90.53% when evaluating medical surgical patients These results indicate the tool is accurate in detecting patients that are not septic; it is not reliable in identifying patients who are truly septic. This study was aimed to address the association of achieving either one or two targets of microcirculatory end point resuscitation and early mortality in severe sepsis and septic shock patients. Conclusion: Achieving both lactate clearance and ScvO2 targets in 6 hours after onset of resuscitation associates with lowest early mortality risk in severe sepsis and septic shock patients. Other blood samples were collected in blood culture tubes for culturing to verify septicemia depending on the clinical evidence
