Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is associated with high mortality in patients with severe sepsis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of recombinant human thrombomodulin (rhTM) in septic patients undergoing continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF). Furthermore, effects of rhTM in acute lung injury, the first target organ in sepsis, were investigated using a sepsis model in rats. ⋯ Additive effects of rhTM treatment were observed in septic patients undergoing CHDF.

Ferroptosis has been found to play an important role in myocardial ischemia reperfusion (MIR) injury (MIRI). This study aimed to explore whether the improvement effect of Etomidate (Eto) on MIRI was related to ferroptosis. ⋯ Eto attenuated the myocardial injury by inhibiting IR-induced ferroptosis via Nrf2 pathway, which may provide a new idea for clinical reperfusion therapy.
