Innate immunity of surfactant proteins A and D in urinary tract infection with uropathogenic Escherichia coli

F Hu, G Ding, Z Zhang, LA Gatto, S Hawgood… – Innate Immunity, 2015

UTI was induced as previously described, 30 with some modifications. In brief, mice were

anesthetized by ip injection with ketamine/xylazine (90 mg/kg ketamine and 10 mg/kg xylazine),

and were gently massaged and pushed down on the bladder to expel urine.

Propofol is administered as an infusion instead of in repeated doses, which prevents

dose-dependent respiratory and cardiovascular system depression and pro- vides controlled

sedation [1]. Ketamine is preferred for premedication, anesthesia induction and main- tenance

While agents such as ketamine (complication rates approaching 23-24%) have been used

in the past, other agents such as propofol and volatile anesthetics have lower complication

rates due to improved drug side effect profiles (0.01-3.5%).

ketamine-xylazine (50 mg/kg ketamine and 5 mg/kg xylazine), and blood samples

were obtained directly from the heart ventricle in anesthetized animals.

The currently used regimens include propofol, benzodiazepines (such as midazolam and

diazepam), opioids (such as fentanyl and remifentanil), ketamine, and de-dexmedetomidine

[3], [4], [5] and [6]. Among them propofol has become popular in developed countries, because

For instance, ablation success for atrial tachycardias (a ‘simple’ disorder) may be as low as 70%.

Thus, ablating the cause of a heart rhythm disorder can be challenging, and even experienced

practitioners may require hours to ablate certain ‘simple’ rhythm disorders
