Abstract
Iron is an important microelement in human and microbial life activities. During the pathophysiological process of sepsis, iron metabolism changes and the body undergoes a series of changes to fight microbial infection. Meanwhile, alterations in iron metabolism during sepsis lead to the development of some diseases, such as transfusion-induced siderosis and anemia. In recent years, several studies have demonstrated the use of iron-chelating agents to fight microbial infections, and new antimicrobial agents have been developed using "Trojan horse" and siderophores immunity. In addition, the use of iron-based nanomaterials as drug delivery systems for gene delivery may be applied to the treatment of sepsis in the future. In this review, we describe the pathophysiological changes in the development and course of sepsis, focusing on the potential of iron in the treatment of sepsis.
期刊介绍:
Biointerphases emphasizes quantitative characterization of biomaterials and biological interfaces. As an interdisciplinary journal, a strong foundation of chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, theory, and/or modelling is incorporated into originated articles, reviews, and opinionated essays. In addition to regular submissions, the journal regularly features In Focus sections, targeted on specific topics and edited by experts in the field. Biointerphases is an international journal with excellence in scientific peer-review. Biointerphases is indexed in PubMed and the Science Citation Index (Clarivate Analytics). Accepted papers appear online immediately after proof processing and are uploaded to key citation sources daily. The journal is based on a mixed subscription and open-access model: Typically, authors can publish without any page charges but if the authors wish to publish open access, they can do so for a modest fee.
Topics include:
bio-surface modification
nano-bio interface
protein-surface interactions
cell-surface interactions
in vivo and in vitro systems
biofilms / biofouling
biosensors / biodiagnostics
bio on a chip
coatings
interface spectroscopy
biotribology / biorheology
molecular recognition
ambient diagnostic methods
interface modelling
adhesion phenomena.
