Active clinical trials for "Sepsis"

The experimental and control group were used different administration of Meropenem through monitoring the Meropenem plasma concentration and clinical data

The purpose of this study is to determine whether thymosin alpha 1 is effective on improving monocyte function and has the desired pharmacologic activity for sepsis

AKI develops frequently in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit, and the biggest risk factor is sepsis. Creatine, which is traditionally used in the diagnosis of AKI, is affected by many factors, causes the diagnosis to be delayed, and its effect in showing the prognosis is limited. Therefore, there is a need to search for new parameters for early diagnosis and prediction of prognosis. Although many biomarkers studied in blood and urine have been reported in the literature, NGAL has been the most emphasized in terms of both diagnosis and prognosis. Although there are publications on the use of the renal resistive index in the diagnosis in new studies, the place of RRI in the diagnosis has not been determined exactly, and its effect on the prognosis has not been studied. In our study, renal resistive index will be measured by renal ultrasonography at the bedside in patients with sepsis at the time of diagnosis, and NGAL will be studied from the blood of the patients, and their values will be compared in terms of detecting patients with AKI in sepsis and showing prognosis. In summary, if the renal resistive index is superior to serum NGAL and parameters such as creatinine level in showing the diagnosis and prognosis of AKI; Early planning of the patient's treatment with a bedside and non-invasive method will also reduce the cost, considering that ultrasonography is now indispensable for all intensive care units.

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of early targeted antibiotic therapy in patients with sepsis and septic shock using the new biomarker Sirtuin 1 and PCR for bacterial resistance detection. The primary outcome is change in SOFA score (ΔSOFA) which will be calculated by subtracting the final SOFA score and sirtuin 1 level at 5 days from the corresponding initial value at enrollment. Secondary outcomes included mortality rates, ventilator free days and length of icu stay.

Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction that is caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Severe sepsis is the most common cause of death among critically ill patients in non-coronary intensive care units (ICU). Sustained excessive inflammation and immune dysfunction have been confirmed to play a key role in organ damage and early death of sepsis patients. Therefore, it is important to reduce excessive inflammatory response mediated by immune cells and pro-inflammatory cytokines in the acute phase of sepsis. Single-cell RNA sequencing performed on both septic patients and mice suggest that changes in Tcm (CD3+ CD8+ CD44+ CD127+ CD62L+) and Tem (CD3+ CD8+ CD44+ CD127+ CD62L -) in the acute phase of sepsis may play an important role in sepsis. In addition, animal researches showed that Tcm and Tem decreased decreased continuously at 24, 48 and 72h after cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) in mice, and the adoptive transfer of Tcm , sorting from spleen of mice 24h after CLP , but not Tem improved 7-day survival rate of sepsis mice. This observational study is aimed to investigate the quantity and proliferation of Tcm and Tem in the acute phase of sepsis and their correlation with severity level and mortality of septic patients in ICU.

Sepsis has emerged as one of the important life-threatening infectious diseases with high morbidity and mortality. Sepsis-associated kidney injury (SAKI) is one of the most common and serious complications of sepsis. It has been found that intestinal flora may affect the occurrence and development of a variety of diseases, and may also affect the pathogenesis of multiple SAKI, which is also regulated by host genetic factors. Therefore, the investigators speculate that gut microbiota composition may be associated with susceptibility to SAKI, and there are no studies reporting the association between gut microbiota and SAKI. The investigators intend to carry out a multicenter study in conjunction with the Department of Intensive Care of Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital. The structure and function of intestinal flora in septic patients with renal injury and septic patients less susceptible to renal injury are studied by 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing technology. The differences in composition, diversity and structural stability of intestinal flora between the two groups are analyzed to explore the genera that play a key role in the occurrence of the disease. By analyzing the differences between renal injury and inflammation levels in each group, the correlation between intestinal flora and SAKI, the possible influencing links involved, and the related factors affecting the prognosis of SAKI were revealed. The results of this study are helpful to further elucidate the pathogenesis of SAKI and provide new ideas and methods for the prevention and treatment of SAKI.

Determine Treatment outcome with antibiotic use and its resistance pattern among neonatal sepsis patients

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Mortality is high and survivors frequently suffer from long-term sequelae. Extracellular histones have been identified as essential mediators in the pathogenesis of sepsis and septic shock. These toxic molecules are released by damaged cells in response to infection and high extracellular levels can induce tissue injury and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Extracellular histones can be neutralized by complexation with the new candidate drug called M6229, a non-anticoagulant heparin, allowing the use of elevated dose levels relative to regular unfractionated heparin. This project aims at the roll-out of a first-in-man clinical study in sepsis patients evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effects of intravenously administered M6229 in subjects suffering from sepsis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Si-Ni-Tang (a Chinese Herbal Formula documented in Shang Han Lun) in treating severe sepsis.

This study assesses the mean difference in fluid balance at ICU discharge and associated patient outcomes, based on a dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness in septic patients with refractory hypotension in an ICU setting.
