Abstract:BackgroundAcute lung injury (ALI) is a common complication after THS/R, and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) could alleviate lung injury by activating cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) during traumatic hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation (THS/R). The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of VNS on intestinal epithelial glycocalyx and acute lung injury associated with THS/R.MethodsSprague-Dawley rats were subjected to traumatic hemorrhagic shock/ resuscitation to induce ALI. The measurements of in… Show more
