Background: Sepsis is often associated with liver dysfunction, which is an indicator of poor outcomes. Specific diagnostic tools that detect hepatic dysfunction in its early stages are scarce. So far, the immune modulatory effects of hemoadsorption with CytoSorb on liver function are unclear.
Method: We assessed the hepatic function by using the dynamic LiMAx test and biochemical parameters in 21 patients with sepsis or septic shock receiving CytoSorb in a prospective, observational study. Points of measurement: T: diagnosis of sepsis or septic shock; T and T: 24 h and 48 h after the start of CytoSorb; T: 24 h after termination of CytoSorb.
Results: The hepatic biotransformation capacity measured by LiMAx was severely impaired in up to 95 % of patients. Despite a rapid shock reversal under CytoSorb, a significant improvement in LiMAx values appeared from T to T. This decline and recovery of liver function were not reflected by common parameters of hepatic metabolism that remained mostly within the normal range.
Conclusions: Hepatic dysfunction can effectively and safely be diagnosed with LiMAx in ventilated ICU patients under CytoSorb. Various static liver parameters are of limited use since they do not adequately reflect hepatic dysfunction and impaired hepatic metabolism.

Background: Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory syndrome that can cause coagulation abnormalities, leading to damage in multiple organs. Vascular endothelial cells (VECs) are crucial in the development of sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC). The role of Parthenolide (PTL) in regulating SIC by protecting VECs remains unclear.

Introduction: While various factors leading to prolonged length of stay (LOS) have been identified for emergency general surgery (EGS), there is limited literature on specific factors for individual emergent specialties. This study aimed to identify patient factors and in-hospital complications associated with prolonged LOS for gastrointestinal (GI) and non-GI-related EGS presentations in a low-resource setting.
Methods: Data from 2010 to 2019 were retrieved from one of the largest tertiary care centers in Pakistan.

Sepsis is a common systemic infectious disease followed by extremely high incidence and mortality with no effective treatment and clinical drugs. As a key mediator involved in infection and immunity, it has been reported that sepsis patients are accompanied by increased heat shock protein 70 (HSP70). Trained immunity is a novel innate immunity approach that can be activated by β-glucan to fight against sepsis.

Pulmonary endothelial cell (EC) activation is a key factor in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In sepsis, increased glycolysis leads to lactate buildup, which induces lysine lactylation (Kla) on histones and other proteins. However, the role of protein lactylation in EC dysfunction during sepsis-induced ARDS remains unclear.

Intestinal injury is an important complication of burn sepsis with limited therapeutic choices. Phellodendrine is a promising compound for gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases and is extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine phellodendron bark. The study aimed to explore the role of phellodendrine against oxidative stress and autophagy in burn sepsis-induced intestinal injury.
