The aim of this experimental in vivo study was to examine the effect of topically-used gentamicin bound to microdispersed oxidized cellulose (MDOC) in nanofibre form in the treatment of deep surgical site infections and to compare it with Garamycin Schwamm®. Twelve domestic swine were used in a model of a full-thickness infected dermal wound. The effectiveness of both forms of gentamicin were tested in wound infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The effectiveness of gentamicin-MDOC and Garamycin Schwamm® were comparable according to microbiological culture findings, with no statistically significant differences. When macroscopically assessed, 100% of the infected wounds treated by gentamicin-MDOC were without signs of infection, compared with only 16.7% when Garamycin Schwamm® was used and this was of statistical significance. Therefore when combined with a nanofibre MDOC carrier, topically-used gentamicin is rendered more effective for the treatment of full-thickness skin infections.

The purpose of our study was to evaluate changes of the cerebral microcirculation during the early stages of endotoxemia in mechanically-ventilated rabbits using Sidestream dark-field (SDF) imaging. Images were obtained using SDF imaging from the surface of the brain via craniotomy before and after rapid administration of a high dose of endotoxin or saline (control group). Although endotoxin shock was successfully induced, we have not found any significant alteration of the cerebral microcirculation during the shock. We speculate that either the model of sepsis with a rapid high dose of endotoxin does not reflect the usual progression of septic encephalopathy or some components other than cerebral microcirculatory alteration play a role at the early stage of septic encephalopathy and the cerebral microcirculation is still preserved. Further studies are needed to clarify our findings.
