11 In a rat model of Gram-negative bacteremia, PN with LCT increases bacterial growth in the liver and lungs, whereas the rat plasma levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE^sub 2^) and mortality are unaffected. Other topics include the endothelium as a target for infections, genetic regulation of congenital heart disease, lung cancer preneoplasia, calcium in cell injury, the genetics of soft tissue tumors, and the role of gram-negative bacteremia in sepsis. But he foresees a time when physicians may routinely treat gram-negative bacteremia not only be targeting the microbes with antibiotics but also by blocking the fatal effects of endotoxins with antibodies such as HA-1A and other novel compounds now under development. |
