-Background -The leading cause of death in patients with sepsis in surgery is syndrome of multiple organ dysfunction. Thus, experimental models that simulate organic changes of sepsis in humans are required. Aim -To present two models that induce the syndrome of multiple organ dysfunction and to compare, the changes induced, by intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharide or cell 36UE of viable Escherichia coli in relation to mortality and survival, level of lipopolysaccharide, release of tumor necrosis factor alpha ; hematological, liver and kidney function. Method -The study lasted seven days and it was used on it 50 male Wistar rats divided into three groups: control, lipopolysaccharide and Escherichia coli. The experimental groups were inoculated and divided into two subgroups, with inocuation with 24 or 48 hours. On the seventh day were proceeded blood collection and histopathologic analysis of liver, kidneys and lungs. Results -There was a survival of ten animals in the control group; zero in bacteria group of 24 hours and six in 48 hours; ten of lipopolysaccharide in 24 hours and six in 48 hours. In the experimental groups, levels of endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor alpha, leukocytes, platelets, renal and liver levels were higher than the control group. There were histopathological changes in the bacterial group. Conclusion -The two models of sepsis induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome; yet the administration 36UE endotoxin every 48 hours could be utilized in advantage over the other for not induce death in significant numbers during the period of seven days.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
