Abstract:
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is a serious complication with higher mortality in patients with burns and trauma. It is important to study the mechanism of MODS for prevention and control of it. Mesenteric lymph mechanism of MODS is a new viewpoint of gut-derived mechanism of MODS in recent years. In this review, we elucidate the mechanism of gut-derived origin of MODS and role of mesenteric lymph path in development of MODS after burns and trauma injury.
