Serial circulating endotoxin measurements (quantitative chromogenic limulus assay) were performed in sera from 19 burned patients to determine the profile of circulating serial circulating endotoxin after burn and the effect of early wound excision on serial circulating endotoxin level. Results indicate an early endotoxemia with the peak serial circulating endotoxin levels 7 to 12 hours and 4 days after burn. More importantly, the level of circulating serial circulating endotoxin can be diminished by early excision; late wound excision was associated with a transient increase of serial circulating endotoxin level. Early excision, therefore, may play a critical role in limiting endotoxemia after burn injury.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007959 Lymphocyte Culture Test, Mixed Measure of histocompatibility at the HL-A locus. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from two individuals are mixed together in tissue culture for several days. Lymphocytes from incompatible individuals will stimulate each other to proliferate significantly (measured by tritiated thymidine uptake) whereas those from compatible individuals will not. In the one-way MLC test, the lymphocytes from one of the individuals are inactivated (usually by treatment with MITOMYCIN or radiation) thereby allowing only the untreated remaining population of cells to proliferate in response to foreign histocompatibility antigens.
