Abstract

Sepsis is the leading cause of death for critical ill patients and an essential focus in immunopharmacological research. The cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model is regarded as a golden standard model for sepsis study. However, this animal model is easily affected by variability problems and dramatically affects pharmacological evaluation of anti-sepsis therapies, which requires standardized procedures and stable outcomes. Herein, the traditional syringe needle based puncture method was used as the major unstable factor for CLP models. Syringe needles created varied mortality in parallel experimental groups of CLP rats; they were inconsistent for severity control as mortality in CLP rats was not correlated with change in punctures, ligation lengths, or needle sizes. Moreover, the use of drainage tubes or strips, which was supposed to strengthen drainage stability, also failed to improve consistency of traditional syringe needles. To solve the consistency problem, an improved design of CLP surgery by puncture with newly-developed three-edged needles was described herein. In contrast to traditional syringe needles, these three-edged needles ensured more stable outcomes in repetitive groups. Furthermore, increased severity was ...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
