Abstract |
The present study compared the effects of direct hemoperfusion (DHP) using a cytokine absorbing (CTR) column with those using an endotoxin absorbing (PMX) column with endotoxin-induced shock in rats. Thirty-six rats were injected intravenously with endotoxin (15 mg/kg), and then allocated into one of the following three groups: control group, treated without CTR; PMX group, treated with a PMX column for 120 min; CTR group, treated with a CTR column for 120 min. The present study showed that CTR treatment decreased the mortality rate 8h after endotoxin injection and inhibited inflammatory responses ( cytokine, hemodynamics and acidosis) similar to PMX treatment.
