Abstract:
Sepsis has become a widespread and very complex issue for modern critical care medicine.It is undoubtedly of great theoretical and clinical significance that we should strengthen the study of sepsis and explore new treatments and drugs.It has been found that curcumin had anti-tumor,anti-inflammatory,anti-virus,antibacterial,antioxidant and other pharmacological effects,low toxicity,and a good potential for clinical application.Moreover,it was thought to be potentially immunomodulatory in the last two decades.A number of experimental studies had elicited that curcumin could be used for sepsis and septic shock.This article reviews the immune regulation mechanism of curcumin in sepsis.
