Low dose of lipopolysaccharide pretreatment can alleviate the in?ammatory response in wound infection mouse model / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

ABSTRACT

<p><b>PURPOSE</b>To assess the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) pretreatment on wound infection mouse model and evaluate the biological safety of the optimal pretreatment dose in vivo.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Mice were pretreated with LPS of different doses at 48 and 24 h before femoral medial lon- gitudinal incision was made and infected with different bacteria.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>It is showed that 0.5 mg/kg/time of LPS pretreatment can significantly alleviate the inflammation in mouse model infected with methicillin-resistances Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-sensitive S. aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,or Escherichia coli compared with doses of 0.25 mg/kg/time, 1 mg/ kg/time, and 1.5 mg/kg/time.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>LPS pretreatment can alleviate the inflammation in mouse model and the optimal dose is 0.5 mg/kg/time, and meanwhile it does not damage organs' function.</p>
