Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purposes of this study are as follows.①To investigate the F-actin/DNGR-1 signal in the context of systemic acute inflammation following crush injury and to assess the therapeutic effects of anti- F-actin antibody in a rat model of crush injury. ②To evaluate the F-actin/DNGR-1 signal in the patients with systemic inflammation (Trauma and Sepsis). In this study, the administration of anti-Factin antibody did not improve the 7-day survival rate of crush injury rat model. The circulating F-actin levels significantly increased in the patients with sepsis, suggesting that the signal play a role in the pathogenesis of sepsis.
