Objective  To study the change in serum levels of soluble CD14, tumor necrosis factor-α, E-selectin, interleukin-10 and mean arterial pressure, as well as their relationship to infection during the pathophysiologic process in endotoxemia of rabbits.
Methods  Sixteen rabbits were randomly divided into two groups: group A, as a control group; group B, endotoxemia group. The model of rabbit with endotoxemia were used. Endotoxin at a dose of 1.5 mg/(kg·h) or 3 mg/(kg·h) was continuously infused through external jugular vein within 2 hours, 1 hour respectively. The change of levels of serum soluble CD14, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-10 and E-selectin were observed at 0 (time before infusion of endotoxin), 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 minutes, while mean arterial pressure was measured by polygraphy system.
Results  In the group B,there was an increase of content of soluble CD14,tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-10 and E-selectin following 30, 120 minutes respectively,and mean arterial pressure was lower than that of group A at same time points.
Conclusion  The results suggest that soluble CD14,tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-10 and E-selectin may play an important role during the change of infection and that these changes may be closely related with severe infection.
