This survival synergism was observed in bone marrow and the gastrointestinal system, as evidenced by an increase in γ-H2AX expression in bone marrow cell DNA, loss of circulatory blood cells, elevation of serum cytokine concentration, and activation of nuclear factor-κB/inducible nitric oxide synthase, and an earlier onset of bacterial infection and sepsis after RCI than after RI was detected. Here, H2AX is linked to bacterial infectious disease.
