Ischemic preconditioning attenuates lipid peroxidation and apoptosis in the cecal ligation and puncture model of sepsis

Sepsis and septic shock are are among the major causes of mortality in intensive care units. The lung and kidney are the organs most affected by sepsis. Evidence exists that lipid peroxidation and apoptosis may be responsible for the high mortality due to sepsis. Ischemic preconditioning (IP) is a method for the protection of tissues and organs against ischemia/reperfusion injury by reducing re...

A New Approach to Monitoring and Evaluation of Cecal Ligation and Puncture Sepsis Model

Background: Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory disease in response to the pathogens that leads to vital organ failures the failure of vital organs. Appropriate animal models should be developed to measure the effectiveness of therapeutic methods. Cecal Ligation and Puncture (CLP) is the most widely used methods of creating the sepsis model. Some variables interfere in the creation of the CLP mod...

Cecal ligation and puncture induced sepsis

Purpose: Multiresistant and vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) can cause serious infections in hospitalized patients with various co-morbid diseases. We investigated the course of VRE peritonitis after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis and compared this to sham operated mice. Methods: Mice were subjected to CLP or sham surgery. Forty-eight hours thereafter four group...

Cecal ligation puncture procedure.

Human sepsis is characterized by a set of systemic reactions in response to intensive and massive infection that failed to be locally contained by the host. Currently, sepsis ranks among the top ten causes of mortality in the USA intensive care units. During sepsis there are two established haemodynamic phases that may overlap. The initial phase (hyperdynamic) is defined as a massive production...
