Abstract:Objective To evaluate the safety of affinity adsorption material for the removal of exogenous endotoxin. Methods Fifteen beagle dogs were randomly divided into treatment group (n = 10) and control group (n = 5) after intravenous infusion of endotoxin. The treatment group was treated with a blood perfusion apparatus developed by our team, while the control group did not use it. Vital signs were monitored before and after the experiment. Blood samples were collected to detect the biochemical indexes, blood routine and coagulation function at the beginning of perfusion, after perfusion for 60 and 120 min. Results After treatment, the body temperature and respiratory rate of the treatment group gradually decreased, while those of the control group increased. At the beginning of perfusion and 120 min of perfusion, PLT was (222.50 ± 14.19) × 109/L and (199.00 ± 18.18) × 109/L in the treatment group, and (233.91 ± 12.22) × 109/L and (222.07 ± 7.62) × 109/L in the control group, there were significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05); WBC was (7.14 ± 0.10) × 109/L and (6.10 ± 0.19) × 109/L in the treatment group, and (7.17 ± 0.11) × 109/L and (5.52 ± 0.54) × 109/L in the control group, there were significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05). Liver function indexes including ALT, AST, ALP, TP and GLO of the treatment group at 120 min of perfusion were significantly lower than those at the beginning of perfusion (P < 0.05), while the indexes of the control group at 120 min of perfusion were higher than those at the beginning of perfusion (P < 0.05). Renal function indices including urea, creatinine and uric acid also showed downward trends after perfusion for 120 min in the treatment group, while increased slightly in the control group. Conclusions It is safe to remove the endotoxin in the blood of the dog by affinity adsorption material.
