摘要: Publisher Summary The chapter introduces the pathogenesis of sepsis and various definitions sepsis. status cytokines are discussed wherein proinflammatory (TNF, interleukin-1, interleukin-8); anti-inflammatory (interleukin-6 interleukin- 10); soluble TNF IL-1 receptors, IL-2 receptor antagonists; heat shock proteins (ischemia-reperfusion, ARDS, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome) described. also discusses two vasoactive agents, endothelin, nitric oxide: NO vascular hyporeactivity in sepsis, myocardial contractility experimental septic shock, clinical Hemostasis is role plasma cascade systems (the coagulation system, contact fibrinolytic complement system) endothelium (endothelial cells as regulators therapeutic approaches to attenuate sepsis) Various hormonal regulation—namely, stress hormones (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, catecholamines other hormones); fluid electrolyte homeostasis (vasopressin, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone atrial natriuretic peptide); pituitary-thyroid axis; reproductive axis chapter. interplay mediators presented.
