Early recovery from shock improves prognosis in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. During this period, cytokine imbalances mediate the development of organ damage and mortality. In Japan, we have access to hemoperfusion using an immobilized polymyxin B fiber column for endotoxin removal (PMX-DHP) and continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) as artificial support for patients with septic shock,...
Many cases of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) on hemodialysis are known to be infected with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) from the sites of blood vessel puncture for hemodialysis and the custody of the vascular access catheter. S. aureus produces superantigens, such as toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1), which may influence the sensitivity of peripheral-blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)...
