Does short-Term Curcumin Gavage sensitize Insulin Signaling in Dexamethasone-Treated C57BL/6 Mice?
These observations suggest that the early beneficial effect of curcumin intervention in dexamethasone-treated mice is the sensitization of insulin signaling, involving the stimulation of FGF21 production, a known insulin sensitizer.
It is suggested on the basis of our study that the fluid amount for delayed rapid fluid resuscitation in patients with burn shock should be calculated as follows: (1) in the first 24h, the amount of fluid (ml) is equal to TBSA (%) x body weight (kg) x 2.6. The ratio between colloid and electrolytes is 1:1, each of the two fluid types is 1.3 ml per (%) TBSA per kg body weight. The volume of water required is 2000 ml. Half of the total amount of fluid is proposed should be infused in the first 2 h after hospitalization under strict monitoring of hemodynamic indices. (2) In the second 24 h, the amount of fluid (ml) is equal to TBSA (%) x body weight (kg) x 1. The ratio between colloid and electrolytes 1:1, each of the two is 0.5 ml. Water volume is 2000 ml.
