Objective: To explore the effect of aminoguanidine (AG) on hemodynamics and nitric oxide (NO) in hemorrhagic shock in rabbit.
Methods: Shock was produced in twenty rabbits by femoral artery blood letting, and they were randomly divided into two groups with treatment with saline (control group) or AG (each n=10). Pclab system and nitric acid reductase methods were performed to detect hemodynamics parameters and NO levels at preshock, postshock (30 minutes and 150 minutes) and 30 minutes and 180 minutes after resuscitation respectively.
Results: No significant differences were observed in hemodynamics parameters and NO levels between the two groups before resuscitation. Whereas after resuscitation, hemodynamics parameters such as systolic arterial pressure (SAP), heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and the max and minimum first derivative of left ventricular pressure (+/-dp/dt max) were all improved greatly in the two groups. AG decreased serum NO level significantly, while saline did not have such effect, suggesting that AG had a longer and more efficient effect against hemorrhagic shock (P<0.05 or P<0.01).
Conclusion: AG can improve hemodynamics parameters and decrease NO level in hemorrhagic shock in rabbit.

In this study, we developed and validated a hybrid quantitative model for simulating upper extremity junctional hemorrhage in swine, aiming to advance the development of pre-hospital hemostatic products. Utilizing 12 healthy 8-month-old male Yorkshire swine, we demonstrated the feasibility of a swine axillary artery injury model for evaluating hemostatic efficacy. Animals were divided into three groups to undergo volume-controlled hemorrhage (VCH), mimicking Class I-III hemorrhagic shock by withdrawing blood at different rates.

Dengue fever, caused by the dengue virus and transmitted by mosquitoes, poses a significant global health threat, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Severe cases can manifest as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome, leading to complications such as plasma leakage, fluid accumulation, respiratory distress, severe bleeding, and organ impairment. Among these complications, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is particularly concerning due to its potential to rapidly deteriorate the patient's condition.

Edwardsiella tarda is a Gram-negative intracellular pathogen within the Enterobacterales order, recognized as a causative agent of hemorrhagic septicemia in fish but also pathogenic to humans. However, the clinical course and prognostic factors of E. tarda bacteremia are not fully understood.

Background: The relationship between the nadir platelet count within the first 48 h after intensive care unit (ICU) admission and the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hemorrhagic shock patients remains unclear. This study investigated this association in adult patients admitted to the surgical ICU for hemorrhagic shock.
Methods: We included 124 hemorrhagic shock patients, excluding those with pre-existing AKI or chronic kidney disease (CKD), admitted to two affiliated hospitals between January 2019 and May 2022.

Normal shear stress produced by blood flow is sensed by the vascular endothelium and required for maintenance of the homeostatic functions of the endothelium in systemic conduit and resistance vessels. Many critical illnesses are characterised by periods of abnormally reduced or absent shear stress in the lung (e.g.
