Overview
Sepsis is a clinical syndrome with high morbidity and high fatality rate in emergency department. Patients with acute liver or kidney injury are more likely to develop Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome(MODS) secondary to the non-hepatic injury group, and the prognosis deteriorates significantly. At present, there is no unified diagnostic criteria for acute liver injury associated with sepsis, and the commonly used prognostic evaluation system is rarely included in liver injury indicators, which is not good for practicality.
Description
The project intends to collect the peripheral blood of the normal population, 24 hours after the onset of sepsis and patients in the recovery period. We will separate and extract plasma, Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell(PBMC), and plasma exosomal miRNA, and sequence to find indicators related to disease deterioration and prognosis. And then, we will construct and verify the early warning and prognosis evaluation system.
On this basis, the researcher explore cellular and molecular mediated pathological mechanisms of sepsis, and then clarify the treatment target of sepsis.
