Article Synopsis
- PCT is a reliable biomarker for diagnosing sepsis and infection in patients with traumatic brain injury, showing higher levels correlated with injury severity.
- 71 out of 105 patients (67.6%) developed sepsis, and initial PCT levels were significantly higher in these patients than those with similar inflammatory responses (SIRS).
- PCT emerged as an independent risk factor for septic complications and could help predict mortality during ICU stays.
To evaluate the effects of Pseudomonas aeruginosa mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin (PA-MSHA) injection on the survival rate of rats post cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were subcutaneously injected with 0.125 ml, 0.25 ml or 0.

- Glycyrrhizin (GL) was shown to reduce organ injury and inflammatory response in pigs with endotoxemia by directly binding to and lowering levels of HMGB1 and pro-inflammatory cytokines.
- The study involved monitoring 21 pigs divided into four groups, with some receiving GL or ethyl pyruvate after being infused with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to simulate endotoxemia.
- GL demonstrated beneficial effects on hemodynamics and oxygen exchange, indicating its potential as a treatment for sepsis through inflammatory modulation.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and the potential molecular mechanism of sustained inflation (SI) recruitment maneuvers in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in beagle dog following endotracheal suctioning.
Methods: ARDS was induced in 24 beagle dogs with oleic acid. They had mechanical ventilation support.
