| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We focused on necleophomin (NPM) among DAMPs which are released from injured cells and exacerbate organ damage and prognosis and compared the relationship with existing DAMPs, HMGB 1 and histones with hemodynamics and prognosis. In the rat sepsis model, blood HMGB1 increased after 4 hours, histones increased after 8 hours and gradually peaked in 12 hours, but NPM did not increase in the blood. High correlation was observed between HMGB1 and histones. Blood NPM of patients with septic shock increased significantly compared to non-shocked patients and correlation with SOFA score was the highest among three DAMPs. NPM is an important parameter in the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis as organ dysfunction is emphasized in newly defined Sepsis-3.
