1 | [Effects of pre-operative administration of steroids on the serum interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and organ injuries in replacement of thoracic aorta]. | Steroids | C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 | Homo sapiens |
2 | To investigate whether pre-operative steroids administration decreases the post-operative serum IL-6, IL-8 and prevents organ injuries, we prospectively studied patients undergoing elective replacement of thoracic aorta using an extracorporeal circulation. | Steroids | C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 | Homo sapiens |
3 | These findings show that in replacement of thoracic aorta, pre-operative steroid administration decreases the post-operative elevations of serum inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and IL-8) and may prevent organ injuries. | Steroids | C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 | Homo sapiens |
