Our previous work has demonstrated that endothelial injury is closely associated with MODS development and mortality in septic patients. The sepsis-induced damage of endothelial cell membrane gives rise to increased capillary permeability. Evidence suggests that increased capillary permeability in patients with sepsis was associated with higher incidence of MODS and death during the ICU stay than those with decreased permeability. Angiopoietin (Ang) system is the key mediator for maintaining capillary permeability. Ang-2 triggers an inflammatory response and inducing permeability by activating the endothelium. In contrast, Ang-1 is anti-inflammatory, can inhibit adhesion molecule expression and attenuate permeability increase in different stimuli. The disrupted angiopoietin system has been reported in patients with sepsis, but the association between angiotension and MODS in septic patients has not been well addressed.\n\nThis study is designated to determine serum concentrations of Ang-1, Ang-2, Ang-1/Ang-2 ratio, and Tie-2 in patients with sepsis-induced MODS and to investigate the association among increased permeability, inflammatory mediators,autonomic dysfunction, and these serum mediators in development of organ failure. In addition, the study will incubate endothelial cells with septic patients' serum or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alfa, and determine the effects of ang-1 administration and blockade of ang-2 on disruption of endothelial cell structure, permeability increase, and expression of adhesion molecules. The study will also determine the signaling pathways and altered NF-kB dimmer composition that is responsible for the inhibitory effect for ang-1 administration on TNF-alfa-induced intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 expression on endothelial surface."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '90 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'patients admitted to ICU due to sepsis', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients must have known origin of infection plus at least 2 of the following criteria of systemic inflammatory response syndrome:\n\n * fever \\> 38C or hypothermia \\< 36C;\n * heart rate \\> 90 beats/ minute;\n * respiratory rate \\> 20 breaths/minute or PaCO2\\< 32 mmHg or mechanical ventilation for an acute process;\n * WBC count \\> 12x109/L or \\< 4x109/L or \\> 10% immature neutrophils.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age less than 18 years,\n* Pregnant,\n* Inability to provide informed, written consent,\n* Patients with urologic trauma resulting in frank hematuria, urinary infection, or existing chronic renal disease (serum creatinine level \\> 2.0 mg/dL),\n* Patients receiving nephrotoxic drugs, admitted to the hospital following a surgical procedure, or remaining in the ICU for \\< 72 hours will be also excluded.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00908635', 'briefTitle': 'The Role of Angiopoietin, Tie-2, and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in Sepsis-Induced Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS)', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Chang Gung Memorial Hospital'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Role of Angiopoietin, Angiopoietin Receptor Tie-2, and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Sepsis-Induced Multi-Organ Dysfunction Syndrome', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '96-1483B'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'survivor', 'description': 'survivors of patients'}, {'label': 'fatalities', 'description': 'non-survivors of patients'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '333', 'city': 'Taoyuan District', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'Taiwan', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Shu-Min Lin, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'smlin100@gmail.com', 'phone': '88633281200', 'phoneExt': '8467'}, {'name': 'Shu-Min Lin, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR'}], 'facility': 'Chang Gung Memorial Hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 24.9896, 'lon': 121.3187}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Shu-Min Lin, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Chang Gung Memorial Hospital'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Chang Gung Memorial Hospital', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'oldNameTitle': 'Shu-Min Lin', 'oldOrganization': 'Chang Gung Memorial Hospital'}}}}
