Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors prevent sepsis-induced refractoriness to vasoconstrictors in the cecal ligation and puncture model in rats

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...

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...

Protective effects of curcumin on hepatocytes in cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis in rats

We aim to observe the protective effects of curcumin in hepatocytes in septic rat. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups of 20 rats each: sham group; model group; xuebijing group; low dose group (50 mg/kg), middle dose group (100 mg/kg) and high dose group (150 mg/kg). Another 60 rats were randomly divided into the six above-mentioned experimental groups of 10 rats each to d...

PD-L1 Blockade Attenuated Sepsis-Induced Liver Injury in a Mouse Cecal Ligation and Puncture Model

Liver plays a major role in hypermetabolism and produces acute phase proteins during systemic inflammatory response syndrome and it is of vital importance in host defense and bacteria clearance. Our previous studies indicated that programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) are crucial modulators of host immune responses during sepsis. Our current study was design...
