    Abstract:

    Objective To investigate the effectiveness of the affinity adsorption material developed by our team for the specific removal of exogenous endotoxin in the blood circulation. Methods Fifteen beagle dogs were intravenously injected with endotoxin to establish a dog model of endotoxemia, and then they were randomly divided into the treatment group (n = 10) and the control group (n = 5). The treatment group received an extracorporeal perfusion to remove the endotoxin using the self-made disposable hemoperfusion device, while the control group using routine perfusion device. The levels of endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8) in the blood of the dogs were measured at the beginning and 120 min after hemoperfusion for 120 minutes. The vital signs of the dogs were monitored during the hemoperfusion. Results After successful establishment of the endotoxemia model, the level of endotoxin at the beginning of hemoperfusion in the treatment group and control group was 118.63 ±27.98 EU/ mL and 117.16 ±22.95 EU/ mL, respectively. After hemoperfusion for 120 min, it was 0.039 ±0.01 EU/ mL and 131.98 ± 7.01 EU/ mL, showing a significant difference (P ﹤ 0.05). The clearance rate of hemoperfusion in the treatment group was 94.07%. At the beginning of hemoperfusion, the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 in the treatment group were 1.53 ±0.27 ng/ mL, 12. 82 ± 1. 66 ng/ mL, 54.77 ± 3.98 ng/ mL and 0.25 ±0.32 ng/ mL, and the levels in the control group were 1.53 ±0.06 ng/ mL, 13.05 ±0.18 ng/ mL, 54.58 ±0.19 ng/ mL and 0.28 ±0.06 ng/ mL, respectively. After hemoperfusion for 120 min, the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 in the treatment group were 0.13 ±0.06 ng/ mL, 0.70 ± 0.36 ng/ mL, 1.62 ± 0.80 ng/ mL and 0.01 ± 0.00 ng/ mL, respectively, and as for the control group, the levels were 2.26 ±0.15 ng/ mL, 15.12 ±0.18 ng/ mL, 62.54 ±0.93 ng/ mL and 0.73 ±0.93 ng/ mL. There were significant differences between the beginning and after perfusion for 120 min in those two groups ( P < 0.05). Conclusions This affinity adsorption material can effectively remove endotoxin and the inflammatory mediators in the blood of experimental dogs, with a clearance rate of 94.07%.
