Apoptosis as an early event in the development of multiple organ failure?
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have recently developed a simple method of plasma free DNA detection, which enables us to distinguish between apoptotic and genomic (necrotic) DNA. After applying this method to the critically ill, we revealed apoptotic DNA on the day of admission to be higher than later when multiple-organ failure developed. Moreover, apoptotic DNA contributed to total plasma DNA much more than DNA from necrotic cells and its increase predicted future development of multiple-organ failure and death.

Multiple Organ Damage Due to Boric Acid Toxicity
Background: Boric acid (BA) is commonly used as pesticide, disinfectant and wood preservative. Its ingestion can cause serious organ damages resulting in death. Case report: A 19 year old man was found dead with two empty packs of BA tablets in vicinity of his body. On autopsy examination, brownish stains along with right angle of mouth and right nostril were found. Stomach was damaged with hem...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that inflammation, demyelination, oligodendrocyte loss, gliosis, axonal injury and neurodegeneration are the main histopathological hallmarks of the disease. Although MS was classically thought as a demyelinating disease, but axonal injury occurs commonly in acute inflammatory lesions. In MS mi...

In cancer-bearing animals, we previously demonstrated that skeletal muscle apoptosis may be involved in muscle wasting and that Bax may play a role in skeletal muscle cell apoptosis at an early stage. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of apoptosis in the liver, kidney, spleen, lung and heart during cancer cachexia as well as the associations between apoptosis and the expression leve...

Background: Interleukin 6 (IL-6) functions as both a pro-inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory cytokine. Objective: To evaluate the levels of IL-6 in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Methods: Level of IL-6 was assessed and recorded for 14 days subsequent to the injury in 161 multiple trauma patients. MODS were diagnosed using Marshal Score. Injury Severity Scor...
متن کاملDecreased Liver Tissue Wasting following High-Intensity Interval Training through Apoptosis Signaling Suppression in Breast Tumor–Bearing Female Mice
Introduction: Cachexia is a cancer complication that is associated with increased weight loss. Apoptosis has been known as one of the tissue-wasting pathways that cause weight loss and multiple organ failure in cancer-related cachexia. Various factors, including exercise training, can be effective in the reduction of cancer cachexia. In the present study, the effect of four weeks of high-intens...
