PROPHYLACTIC n CMT-3 ATTENUATES SEPSIS-INDUCED ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY IN ASSOCIATION WITH NLRP3 INFLAMMASOME ACTIVATION AND APOPTOSIS.

Background: The kidney is the most common extrapulmonary organ injured in sepsis. The current study examines the ability of aerosolized nanochemically modified tetracycline 3 (nCMT-3), a pleiotropic anti-inflammatory agent, to attenuate acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by intratracheal LPS. Methods: C57BL/6 mice received aerosolized intratracheal nCMT-3 (1 mg/kg) or saline, followed by intratracheal LPS (2.

Nano-chemically Modified Tetracycline-3 (nCMT-3) Attenuates Acute Lung Injury via Blocking sTREM-1 Release and NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation.

Background: Intratracheal (IT) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) causes severe acute lung injury (ALI) and systemic inflammation. CMT-3 has pleiotropic anti-inflammatory effects including matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition, attenuation of neutrophil (PMN) activation, and elastase release. CMT-3's poor water solubility limits its bioavailability when administered orally for treating ALI.

Artificial Intelligence for Clinical Decision Support in Sepsis.

Sepsis is one of the main causes of death in critically ill patients. Despite the continuous development of medical technology in recent years, its morbidity and mortality are still high. This is mainly related to the delay in starting treatment and non-adherence of clinical guidelines.

α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Agonists Regulate Inflammation and Growth Hormone Resistance in Sepsis.

During sepsis the normal induction of circulating insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) by growth hormone (GH) action on liver is attenuated, a phenomenon called hepatic GH resistance. Hepatic GH resistance can be caused by cytokine-mediated activation of the NF-κB pathway which interferes with normal GH-signaling. The afferent and efferent fibers of the vagus nerve are integral to the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) which attenuates hepatic TNFα production by activating the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR).
