Effects of hydroxyethyl starch (130 kD) on brain inflammatory response and outcome during normotensive sepsis.
Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: Without obvious influence on systemic macrohemodynamics, HES could markedly attenuate BBB dysfunction and brain edema. Meanwhile, HES could significantly reduce TNF-alpha, IL-6, and ICAM-1 mRNA, inhibit NF-kappaB activation, and down-regulate TLR2 and TLR4 expression in the brain. In addition, CLP-induced increase in weight loss, and clinical symptoms was not reduced after treatment with HES. CONCLUSIONS: HES could ameliorate BBB dysfunction and inflammation mediators by modulating brain TLR2 and TLR4 expression during sepsis. However, HES could not improve clinical outcome.
