Figure 4From: Effects of continuous renal replacement therapy on intestinal mucosal barrier function during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a porcine model Colonies of bacterial culture in liver, spleen, kidney and mesenteric lymphnode. VV ECMO therapy (E group) induced a significant increase of colonies of bacterial culture in liver and mesenteric lymphnode than C group (P < 0.01), which was attenuated significantly in liver (P < 0.01) and partially in mesenteric lymphnode after combination with CRRT therapy (EC group). (Compared to control group, *P < 0.01; compared to S group, ◆P < 0.05; compared to E group, #P < 0.05).Back to article page
