Correlation of Serum Interleukin-6, TNF-α, Procalcitonin and Leukocyte Count in Patients with Suspected Sepsis [PDF]
Sepsis is a cause of non-cardiac death in the hospital. Early and rapid diagnosis of septic patients is a challenge toincrease the expectancy of life. IL-6 and TNF-α are groups of pro inflammatory cytokines that initiate an initial inflammatoryresponse. Procalcitonin is a specific marker of bacterial infection.

Tumor necrosis factor-α promotes cholestasis-induced liver fibrosis in the mouse through tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 production in hepatic stellate cells. [PDF]
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, which is a mediator of hepatotoxicity, has been implicated in liver fibrosis. However, the roles of TNF-α on hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and liver fibrosis are complicated and remain controversial.

Pulmonary artery perfusion with anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha antibody reduces cardiopulmonary bypass-induced inflammatory lung injury in a rabbit model. [PDF]
Inflammatory lung injury is one of the main complications associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is one of the key factors mediating the CPB-induced inflammatory reactions.
