Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate changes in high mobility group 1 (HMG 1) protein in postburn Staphylococcus aureus infection and its potential signaling mechanism. A total of 61 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups as follows: normal control group ( n =6), scald control group ( n =9), postburn sepsis group ( n =36) and rapamycin (RPM) treatment group ( n =10). Tissue samples from the liver and kidney were collected to determine tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF ?) and HMG 1 mRNA expression. The results showed that, after Staphylococcus aureus challenge, TNF ? mRNA expression was up regulated rapidly in both the liver and the kidney, peaking at 2 hours ( P
