Steroid responses in sepsis: some novel thinking that may provide new insight
نویسنده
چکیده
Glucocorticoid use in sepsis is controversial. In contrast to other extracellular signaling molecules, glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) are intra-cytoplasmic. Several GR isoforms have been identified. A study in Critical Care Forum suggests that sepsis alters the abundance of the dominant negative GRβ. Here we discuss GR isoforms and how they may affect cellular responses to glucocorticoids in sepsis.

A New Approach to Monitoring and Evaluation of Cecal Ligation and Puncture Sepsis Model
Background: Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory disease in response to the pathogens that leads to vital organ failures the failure of vital organs. Appropriate animal models should be developed to measure the effectiveness of therapeutic methods. Cecal Ligation and Puncture (CLP) is the most widely used methods of creating the sepsis model. Some variables interfere in the creation of the CLP mod...
متن کاملSteroid-binding receptors in fungi: implication for systemic mycoses
It has been shown that some of the mycotic infections especially systemic mycoses show increased male susceptibility and some steroids have been known to influence the immune response. Researchers found that some fungi including yeasts use "message molecules" including hormones to elicit certain responses, especially in the sexual cycle, but until recently no evidence was available to...
متن کاملSteroids and nitric oxide in sepsis.
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by several cell types and has effects both detrimental and beneficial to the host. Sepsis and septic shock are conditions in which NO plays a central role in physiopathology. Stressful circumstances such as pathogens, toxins, and trauma elicit a wide variety of physiological changes. Steroid hormones and notably glucocorticoids are one of the main players in this o...

The current study reports some interesting growth of novel In2O3 nanostructures using ambient-controlled chemical vapor deposition technique in the presence of a strongly reducing hydrazine ambient. The experiments are systematically carried out by keeping either of the carrier gas flow rate or the source temperature constant, and varying the other. For each of the depositions, the growth is st...
