Does therapeutic administration of thoracic epidural anesthesia reduce cardiopulmonary deterioration in ovine pulmonary embolism?
Thoracic epidural anesthesia administered after the occurrence of pulmonary artery embolism thus significantly reduces hemodynamic deterioration in awake, spontaneously breathing sheep and may represent an additional option in the treatment of pulmonary embolism.
EPO improved renal function and structure in IRI rats via reducing neutrophils in the tubulointerstitium, the production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokine, as well as the activation and nuclear-translocation of NF-κB. EPO may have potential clinical applications as an anti-inflammation agent clinically for a wide range of injury.
