The study deals with assessment of LPS-adsorption and haemodialysis with EMiC2-filters use in the complex treatment in cardio-surgery patients with heavy sepsis. 64 adult patients included in the study were divided into two groups. 26 patients of the main group with heavy sepsis (EEA > 0.6; procalcitonin level higher than 2 ng/ml) received LPS-adsorption and haemodialysis with EMiC2-filters. 38 patients of control group with heavy sepsis developed after surgeries on heart and vessels did not receive extracorporeal methods of treatment. Positive effect of combined extracorporeal treatment on haemodynamics, oxygenation, endotoxin activity decreasing, procalcitonin level, inflammatory and antiphlogistic cytokines level was identified Trend of 28-day survival increasing was indentified in the main group.

Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a common organ dysfunction of sepsis, and its incidence and mortality are increasing,which brings heavy economic burden to patients and society. Early diagnosis and effective intervention can block the occurrence and progression of SA-AKI effectively, improve prognosis, and reduce medical costs.

Article Synopsis
- Environmental arsenic contamination often exceeds safety levels in drinking water and is linked to higher rates of H. pylori infections, leading to concerns about the combined effects of both hazards.
- A study using a mouse model found that exposure to both H. pylori and inorganic arsenic resulted in significant changes in intestinal flora composition and metabolic processes.
- The research suggests that H. pylori may worsen the imbalance in gut bacteria and disrupt liver metabolism caused by arsenic, which could heighten sensitivity to heavy metal toxicity.
