Vascular endothelial glycocalyx (VEG), a protein-polysaccharide complex located on the cell membrane of vascular endothelial cell lumen, has physiological effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-thrombosis and protection of endothelium.The structural and functional abnormalities of VEG in pulmonary capillaries play an important role in the occurrence and progression of sepsis-mediated acute lung injury (ALI). On one hand sepsis induces ALI by activating heparanase and destroying glycocalyx; on the other hand, it inhibits the repair of lung tissue by preventing the timely reconstruction of glycocalyx. This article summarizes the recent studies to explore the relationship between the structural and functional impairment of VEG and sepsis-related ALI, as well as the value and prospect of glycocalyx in the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis-related ALI.
