Aim: To evaluate the protective effect of NF-kappaB decoy oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rat liver graft.
Methods: Orthotopic syngeneic rat liver transplantation was performed with 3 h of cold preservation of liver graft in University of Wisconsin solution containing phosphorothioated double-stranded NF-kappaB decoy ODNs or scrambled ODNs. NF-kappaB decoy ODNs or scrambled ODNs were injected intravenously into donor and recipient rats 6 and 1 h before operation, respectively.
Objective: To determine the serum level and mRNA expression of type-1/type-2 cytokines of T lymphocytes in spleens of rats after thermal injury and to investigate the effects of escharectomy during burn shock stage on IFN-gamma and IL-4.
Methods: One hundred and sixty male Wistar rats were randomized into four groups. In group A, animals were not subjected to escharectomy.
Objective: To investigate the effect of the escharectomy during burn shock stage on expression of glucose translator-4 (GLUT4) mRNA in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue.
Methods: 30% TBSA scalded rats were employed. Escharectomy were conducted at 8 h, 24 h, 168 h after burns respectively.

Objective: To determine the type-1/type-2 cytokine response of helper T lymphocytes after thermal injury, and to investigate the effects of escharectomy during burn shock stage on the polarization of Th cells.
Methods: One hundred and sixty male Wistar rats were randomized into four groups. In group A, animals were subjected to a 30 percent full-thickness thermal injury without escharectomy.
