Animal models of sepsis
Sepsis remains a common, serious, and heterogeneous clinical entity that is difficult to define adequately. Despite its importance as a public health problem, efforts to develop and gain regulatory approval for a specific therapeutic agent for the adjuvant treatment of sepsis have been remarkably unsuccessful. One step in the critical pathway for the development of a new agent for adjuvant trea...
متن کاملAdvances in mesenchymal stem cell research in sepsis.
BACKGROUND Sepsis remains a source of morbidity and mortality in the postoperative patient despite appropriate resuscitative and antimicrobial approaches. Recent research has focused upon additional interventions such as exogenous cell-based therapy. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit multiple beneficial properties through their capacity for homing, attenuating the inflammatory response, mod...
متن کاملEffects of volume resuscitation on the microcirculation in animal models of lipopolysaccharide sepsis: a systematic review
BACKGROUND Recent research has identified an increased rate of mortality associated with fluid bolus therapy for severe sepsis and septic shock, but the mechanisms are still not well understood. Fluid resuscitation therapy administered for sepsis and septic shock targets restoration of the macro-circulation, but the pathogenesis of sepsis is complex and includes microcirculatory dysfunction. ...
متن کاملAnimal models of sepsis: setting the stage.
Sepsis is a state of disrupted inflammatory homeostasis that is often initiated by infection. The development and progression of sepsis is multi-factorial, and affects the cardiovascular, immunological and endocrine systems of the body. The complexity of sepsis makes the clinical study of sepsis and sepsis therapeutics difficult. Animal models have been developed in an effort to create reproduc...
متن کاملFluid Resuscitation in Animal Models of Sepsis: A Comprehensive Review of the Current State of Knowledge
Sepsis, the systemic response to infection, is the leading cause of death in intensive care units, worldwide. Mortality rates of sepsis exceed 20%, highlighting the need for new approaches of therapy for this disease. Intravenous fluid resuscitation plays a crucial role in sepsis therapy. Most preclinical studies demonstrate an association between IV fluid therapy and improved outcomes in sepsi...
متن کاملPossible Causes of Ileal Injury in Two Models of Microbial Sepsis and Protective Effect of Phytic Acid
Background: Sepsis related-multiple organ dysfunction is associated with ileum injury. We aimed to determine the causes of ileal injury in two models of microbial sepsis resulted from infection with Aeromonas hydrophila or its endotoxin. We also evaluated the protective effect of phytic acid. Methods: Thin sections of ileum from 60 Swiss male mice in control, bacteria-infected or lipopolysaccha...
