Heat shock inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced tissue factor activity in human whole blood [PDF]
Background During gram-negative sepsis, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces tissue factor expression on monocytes. The resulting disseminated intravascular coagulation leads to tissue ischemia and worsens the prognosis of septic patients.

An overview of the mechanisms and potential roles of extracellular vesicles in septic shock
Septic shock, a subset of sepsis, is a fatal condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, the pathophysiology of septic shock is not fully understood. Moreover, the diagnostic markers employed for identifying septic shock lack optimal

Characterization of Early Peripheral Immune Responses in Patients with Sepsis and Septic Shock
(1) Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by an abnormal host response to infection that produces altered physiological responses causing tissue damage and can result in organ dysfunction and, in some cases, death.

Abstract The problems associated with septic shock are highlighted, including those which arose during a 3-year prospective study. Mortality in the first year of the study was 71 per cent, falling to 38 per cent in the third year. The reasons, for this fall are detailed. The pattern of survival times changed over the 3 years, giving rise

Sepsis and septic shock stimulate a massive inflammatory response during which neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) release citrullinated histone H3 (CitH3) into the circulation, leading to tissue damage, coagulopathy, and organ failure.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

For more than two decades, sepsis was defined as a microbial infection that produces fever (or hypothermia), tachycardia, tachypnoea and blood leukocyte changes. Sepsis is now increasingly being considered a dysregulated systemic inflammatory and immune response to microbial invasion that produces organ injury for which mortality rates are declining to
