Objective: Septic shock, the most severe stage of sepsis, is a deadly inflammatory disorder with high mortality. Ciclopirox (CPX) is a broad-spectrum antimycotic agent which also exerts anti-inflammatory effects in human diseases. However, whether CPX can relieve inflammatory response in LPS-induced septic shock remains unclear.
Materials And Methods: Male C57BL/6 mice LPS were injected intraperitoneally with LPS to simulate septic shock in vivo. RAW264.7 cells and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were subject to LPS treatment to simulate septic shock in vitro. ELISA was applied to detect the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay. Protein levels was detected by western blotting.
Results: CPX enhanced the survival rate and attenuated inflammation in mice with LPS-induced septic shock. Similarly, CPX dose-dependently mitigated LPS-induced inflammation in BMDMs. It was also found that Sortilin 1 (SORT1) was upregulated in both and models of LPS-induced septic shock. In addition, SORT1 overexpression counteracted the alleviative effects of CPX on the inflammation response of LPS-challenged BMDMs by activating the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling. Furthermore, BML-284 (a Wnt/β-Catenin agonist) treatment also abrogated CPX-mediated moderation of LPS-triggered inflammatory reaction in BMDMs.
Conclusions: In sum, we found that CPX protected against LPS-induced septic shock by mitigating inflammation SORT1-mediated Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway.

Background: Although surviving sepsis campaign (SSC) guidelines are the standard for sepsis and septic shock management, outcomes are still unfavourable. Given that perfusion pressure in sepsis is heterogeneous among patients and within the same patient; we evaluated the impact of individualized hemodynamic management via the transcranial Doppler (TCD) pulsatility index (PI) on mortality and outcomes among sepsis-induced encephalopathy (SIE) patients.
Methods: In this prospective, single-center randomized controlled study, 112 patients with SIE were randomly assigned.

Sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Among the various types of end-organ damage associated with sepsis, hepatic injury is linked to significantly higher mortality rates compared to dysfunction in other organ systems. This study aimed to investigate potential biomarkers of hepatic injury in sepsis patients through a multi-center, case-control approach.

Sepsis often leads to vasoplegia and a hyperdynamic cardiac state, with treatment focused on restoring vascular tone. However, sepsis can also cause reversible myocardial dysfunction, particularly in the elderly with pre-existing heart conditions. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines recommend using dobutamine with norepinephrine or epinephrine alone for patients with septic shock with cardiac dysfunction and persistent hypoperfusion despite adequate fluid resuscitation and stable blood pressure.

Sepsis, characterized as a systemic inflammatory response triggered by pathogen invasion, represents a continuum that may progress from mild systemic infection to severe sepsis, potentially culminating in septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. A pivotal element in the pathogenesis and progression of sepsis involves the significant disruption of oncological metabolic networks, where cells within the pathological milieu exhibit metabolic functions that diverge from their healthy counterparts. Among these, purine metabolism plays a crucial role in nucleic acid synthesis.
