Intravenous clarithromycin did not affect overall mortality; however, administration shortened the time to resolution of infection and decreased the hospitalization costs.

Subcutaneous administration of infliximab reduces the inflammatory activity as well as tissue TNF-alpha and MDA levels in chemical colitis in rats. Infliximab at a dose of 5 mg/kg BW achieves better histological results and produces higher reduction of the levels of TNF-alpha than at a dose of 10 mg/kg BW. Infliximab at a dose of 5 mg/kg BW produces higher reduction of tissue MDA levels than at a dose of 15 mg/kg BW.

Acute myocardial ischemia and left heart failure significantly contribute to the circulatory shock that follows intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury and are attenuated by hypoxemic reperfusion.
