          Abstract

          Background: To clarify the effects of post-treatment with direct hemoperfusion using a CTR column on the mortality and inflammatory responses to endotoxin-induced shock in rats. Methods: Thirty-six male rats were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups (n = 12/group): the endotoxemic group, receiving intravenous Escherichia coli endotoxin (15 mg/kg over 2 min); the control column group, treated without CTR for 120 min at 2 h after endotoxin injection, and CTR-post-treatment group, treated with CTR for 120 min at 2 h after endotoxin injection. Hemodynamics, arterial blood gases, and mortality were recorded for the 8-hour observation period, and plasma cytokine concentrations were measured every 4 h. Results: The mortality rates were 83, 83 and 33% for the endotoxemic, control column, and CTR post-treatment groups, respectively. The increases in IL-6 concentrations were less for the CTR post-treatment group than the other 2 groups. Conclusion: The present study shows that CTR post-treatment inhibited hypotension and elevations in IL-6 concentrations, reducing the mortality rate of rats with endotoxin-induced shock.

          Endotoxin and tumor necrosis factor challenges in dogs simulate the cardiovascular profile of human septic shock

          Survivors of both human and animal bacterial shock develop a characteristic pattern of progressive changes in cardiovascular function over a period of 7-10 d. In this present study, we examined whether endotoxin (a product of Gram-negative bacteria) or TNF (a cytokine released from macrophages) could reproduce the same complex cardiovascular changes observed in septic shock over a period of 7-10 d. To test this hypothesis, we implanted a thrombin-fibrin clot containing purified endotoxin from E. coli into the peritoneal cavity of eight dogs, and infused TNF into eight different dogs. Over the next 10 d, serial simultaneous heart scans and thermodilution cardiac outputs were performed in these awake nonsedated animals. By day 2 after challenge with either endotoxin or TNF, animals developed a decrease (p less than 0.05) in both mean arterial pressure and left ventricular ejection fraction. With fluid resuscitation, animals manifested left ventricular dilatation (increased [p less than 0.05] end diastolic volume index), increased or normal cardiac index, and decreased or normal systemic vascular resistance index. In surviving animals, these changes returned to normal with 7-10 d. The time course of these changes was concordant (p less than 0.05) with that previously described in a canine model of septic shock using viable bacteria. During the 10-d study, control animals receiving sterile clots or heat- inactivated TNF had not significant changes in hemodynamics. The results from this canine model demonstrate that either endotoxin or TNF alone can produce many of the same hemodynamic abnormalities seen in human septic shock and in a canine septic shock model induced by live bacteria. These findings support the hypothesis that the action of endogenous mediators (TNF) responding to bacterial products (endotoxin) is the common pathway that produces the serial cardiovascular changes found in septic shock.

            Tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-1 serum levels during severe sepsis in humans.

            In a study of serum levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in patients developing sepsis in the ICU, high TNF alpha levels were found in patients with septic shock. Normal values are 75 +/- 15 pg/ml; in these patients, TNF alpha serum level ranged from 100 to 5000 pg/ml with a mean of 701 +/- 339 pg/ml and a median of 250 pg/ml. There was a correlation between TNF alpha level and sepsis severity score as well as with mortality. In contrast, IL-1 beta serum levels were only slightly increased and were not correlated with severity or mortality.

              Circulating interleukin-8 concentrations in patients with multiple organ failure of septic and nonseptic origin.

              Interleukin (IL)-8, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is a potent chemoattractant factor and an activator of neutrophils produced by many cell types after stimulation by IL-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), or microbial products such as endotoxins. We investigated whether the presence of measurable IL-8 in plasma was associated with the clinical status of severely ill septic or nonseptic patients susceptible to the development of multiple organ failure. Cohort study. A collaborative study between an intensive care unit and a research laboratory. Circulating IL-8 concentrations were measured in the plasma of 27 patients with sepsis syndrome and in 16 patients with noninfectious shock because these two conditions put patients at risk for the development of multiple organ failure. Sixteen of 27 patients with severe infection and 13 of 16 patients with noninfectious pathologies developed multiple organ failure. A specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for IL-8 was set up with a monoclonal and a rabbit polyclonal antihuman IL-8 using a sandwich technique. High concentrations of circulating IL-8 were found in the plasma of patients with sepsis syndrome. Among septic patients, a significant difference was observed between concentrations of IL-8 in survivors (n = 16) and nonsurvivors (n = 11) (81 +/- 13 pg/mL vs. 3326 +/- 1219 pg/mL, respectively; p = .001). A correlation was noticed between plasma IL-8 and IL-6 concentrations (r2 = .42; p = .001), while no correlation was observed between IL-8 and TNF-alpha values, or between IL-8 and IL-1 beta. Although the mortality rate of nonseptic, multiple organ failure patients was 92%, low plasma concentrations of IL-8 were found (78 +/- 34 pg/mL), while high plasma concentrations were measured in septic, multiple organ failure patients (mortality rate 69%) who were sampled at a similar stage. By contrast, increased IL-6 values were observed in both septic and nonseptic, multiple organ failure patients. In septic patients, high amounts of circulating IL-8 concentrations correlate with fatal outcome, whereas only low plasma concentrations of IL-8 are present in patients with nonseptic, multiple organ failure. This finding suggests that the signals involved in the exacerbation of IL-8 production are different, depending on infectious or noninfectious etiology.
