The expressions of HMGB1 mRNA in tissues of rats in each group 24 hours after sham/CLP operation. Liver, lungs, kidneys, and ileum were collected 24 hours after surgery. HMGB1 mRNA expression in multiple organs were measured by real-time PCR. Data were presented as mean ± SD (n = 8).

HMGB1 = high mobility group box 1, PCR = polymerase chain reaction, SD = standard deviation, Sham = sham operation group, CLP = cecal ligation and puncture with normal saline group, Remi = cecal ligation and puncture with remifentanil treatment group.

^*P < 0.05 vs. sham; ^†P < 0.05 vs. CLP.
