The Cluster of Differentiation 163 (CD163) level in the blood has emerged as a potential biomarker for sepsis, reflecting the immune response to infection. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the role of CD163 levels in predicting neonatal sepsis and its correlation with ...
Procalcitonin (PCT) is widely considered to be the most useful marker of severe systemic inflammation [17]. Procalcitonin is normally present in the blood at very low levels; however, its production can be stimulated by inflammatory cytokines and bacterial endotoxins, causing its release in greater ...

reaction syndrome.Continuous blood purification(CBP)is helpful for treatment of sepsis through removing medium and large molecular weight inflammatory mediators.CBP can stabilize cardiopulmonary function as well as other organ functions.CBP has offered a good prospect in treatment of severe sepsis in ...
Changes in red blood cell (RBC) function can contribute to alterations in microcirculatory blood flow and cellular dysoxia in sepsis. Decreases in RBC and neutrophil deformability impair the passage of these cells through the microcirculation. While the role of leukocytes has been the focus of many...
Objective To explore the relationship between mitochondrial function and the severity of sepsis by detecting the platelet mitochondrial permeability transition pore,transmembrane potential and adenosine triphosphate( ATP) levels in peripheral blood. Methods According to random number table,40 male SD rats wer...
