Introduction: The ideal ventilation strategy for patients with massive brain damage requires better elucidation. We hypothesized that in the presence of massive brain injury, a ventilation strategy using low (6 mL/kg) tidal volume (VT) ventilation with open lung positive end-expiratory pressure set ...

Background: Dopamine has intrinsic receptor-independent anti-inflammatory properties when used at high concentrations. Since cellular uptake of N-octanoyl dopamine (NOD) is far better than of dopamine, NOD might display anti-inflammatory effects already at relative low concentrations. The present st...

Because the vagus nerve is implicated in control of inflammation, we investigated if brain death causes impairment of the parasympathetic nervous system, hence contributing to inflammation. Brain death (BD) was induced in rats. Anaesthetised ventilated rats (NBD) served as control. Heart rate varia...

N-octanoyl dopamine (NOD), but not dopamine dose dependently induces the UPR. This was also found for other synthetic N-Acyl dopamine derivates (NADD). Induction of the UPR was dependent on the redox activity of NADD and was not caused by selective activation of a particular UPR sensor. UPR inductio...

Carbon monoxide (CO) abrogates TNF-alpha mediated inflammatory responses in endothelial cells, yet, the underlying mechanism hereof is still elusive. We sought to explore potential mechanisms by which CO down-regulates VCAM-1 expression on TNF-alpha stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells ...
