Core Tip

Core tip: After intestine ischemia-reperfusion, general inflammatory injury of the intestinal tract, and the ensuing multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, are correlated with a strong innate immune response, which is mediated by the extensive activation of the Toll-like receptor-nuclear factor-κB-cytokine pathway throughout the whole system.
