Objective To study the efect of IH764-3 on ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rat liver. Methods Rats were divided into 3 groups, the control group was not subjected to ischemia and no treatment was given. I/R injury group was subjected to 40 minutes ischemia followed by reperfusion for 120 minutes. The IH7643 group (40mg/kg) was administred at ischemia and reperfusion. Results In the IH764-3 group, sereum levels of ALT, AST, AKP and γ-GT were significantly lower than those in the I/R group. Energy charge level recovery was significantly higher with IH7643 (P＜0.05), hepatic ultrastructure was better preserved with IH764-3. Conclusion IH764-3 may be useful in the treatment of hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury
Objective To observe the protective role of the ectogenesis zinc on the cells in rat flap with ischemia reperfusion injury and study the mechanisms. Methods A right low abdominal island flap was created in Wistar rats. Fortyeight rats were randomly divded into 3 groups (n=16):the control group, the ischemia reperfusion group and adding zinc ischemia reperfusion group.The content of malondialdehyde(MDA) and the activity of myeloperoxidase(MPO) were measured by thiobarbituric acid methods and colorimetry. The location of expression of MT was observed,and the image analysis was performed. The quantity of MT was represented by the integratial optical density. The ultrastructure changes of skin flap with ischemia reperfusion injury and the flap viability were observed. Results In the ischemia reperfusion injury flaps, the content of MDA and MPO show no statistically significant difference among the control group,IR group and the adding-zinc-IR group (P＞0.05). Compared with the control group at 1 h and 24 h of reperfusion, the level of MDA increased 62.2% and 136.4%(P＜0.01) in the IR group, which increased 11.3% and 33.2%(P＜0.01) in the adding-zinc-IR group. The activity of MPO increased 238.4% and 503.4%(P＜0.01)in the IR group when compared with the control group, and increased 17.9%and 24.1%(P＜0.05) when compared with the adding-zinc-IR group. In the ischemia reperfusion injury falps, the content of MT in the control group and the IR group is too minimal to measure. While the content ofMT in the adding-zinc-IR group is 45.30±7.60. At 1 h and 24 h of reperfusiion, the content of MT in the adding-zinc-IR group increased 41.5% and 44.9% (P＜0.01) compared with the IR group, and increased 119.9% and 234.6% (P＜0.01) compared with the control group. The flap viability is 100% in the control group, 19.65%±4.38% in the IR group, and 24.99%±5.12% in the adding-zinc-IR group, which increased 27.2% (P＜0.05) compared with IR group. Conclusion Many kinds of cells in skin flap with ischemiareperfusion injury can be protected by ectogenesis zinc and the flap viability increases significantly.
To investigate the protective effect of propofol on ischemia/reperfusion induced spinal cord injury in rabbits and its influence on excitatory amino acid (EAA). Methods Sixty New Zealand white rabbits weighing 2.0-2.5 kg, half males and half females, were selected. The infrarenal circumaortic clamping model was used. And 6 mL/kg different fluids were continuously infused through a catheter into the aorta distal to the clamping site at a speed of 12 mL/(kg•h) during the 30 minutes ischemia period. According to the different infusing l iquids, the rabbits were randomized into 6 groups(n=10 per group): group A, normal sal ine; group B, 10% intral ipid; group C, propofol 30 mg/kg; group D, propofol 40 mg/kg; group E, propofol 50 mg/kg; group F, propofol 60 mg/kg. At 0, 6, 24, and 48 hours after reperfusion, neurologic outcomes were scored on a Tarlov scale system. At 48 hours after reperfusion, the number of normal neurons in the anterior spinal cord was counted, and concentration of EAA in the lumbar spinal cord was measured by high performance l iquid chromatography. Results The neuroethological score was better in groups C, D, E and F than that of groups A and B (P lt; 0.05), the score of group E was the highest (P lt; 0.05), and there was no significant difference between group A and group B (P gt; 0.05). The number of normal neurons in the anterior spinal cord of groups C, D, E and F was greater than that of groups A and B (P lt; 0.05), and group E was greater than groups C, D and F (P lt; 0.05). The concentration of EAA in groups A, B, C, D, E and F was greater than that of normal tissue, the group E was the lowest (P lt; 0.05), the groups A and B were the highest (P lt; 0.05), and there was no significant difference between group A and group B (P gt; 0.05). Concentrations of glutamate and aspartic acid were negatively correlated to normal neuron numbers in the anterior spinal cord and neuroethological scores 48 hours after reperfusion, and the corresponding correlation coefficient was — 0.613, — 0.536, — 0.874 and — 0.813, respectively (P lt; 0.01). Conclusion Propofol can significantly inhibit the accumulation of EAA in spinal cord and provide a protective effect against the ischemia/reperfusion injury induced spinal cord in rabbits.
ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effects of glycine on rat sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) after hepatic warm ischemiareperfusion and its mechanism.MethodsSeventytwo male SD rats were randomly divided into the normal control,ischemiareperfusion,glycine plus strychnine treated and glycine treated groups. The changes of endothelin (ET),hyaluronic acid (HA),tumor necrosis factorα (TNFα) content and alanine aminotransterase (ALT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity as well as morphology of SECs under light microscope were observed at the time point 1,3,24 h after hepatic reperfusion. The effects of glycine on the above parameters were also observed. ResultsThe group using glycine treated, the abnormal changes of all above parameters were improved remarkably (P＜0.01 or P＜0.05). Strychnine can antagonize these effects partly.ConclusionGlycine can prevent the injury to rat SECs after hepatic warm ischemiareperfusion.It most likely acts through glycine receptor on SECs and Kupffer cells.
To investigate the role of platelet-activating factor (PAF), neutrophils in ischemia-reperfusion-induced liver injury and their possible mechanism, PAF and the degree of neutrophil infiltration in liver tissue and the preventive effects of PAF antagonist kadsurenone were evaluated in this study by means of a partial liver ischemia model, in which it was induced by clamping only left and median lobes of the liver without causing intestinal congestion. The present study was undertaken to find out the mechanism of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury and preventive effect of kadsurenone. The results indicate that in early stage of reperfusion liver injury possibly caused by the generation of free radicals, declined of autioxidant defence and increased Ca２＋ influx, and in the later stage of reperfusion injury was mainly mediated by accumulation of PAF in the liver, which elicits the release of polymorphonuclear leukocytes induced toxical free radical, endothelial damage, microcirculatory collapse. The authors conclude that the effectiveness of antagonist kadsurenone in protecting against ischemiareperfusioninduced liver injury is due not only to their action in preventing the direct effects of PAF, but also to their ability to inhibit both PAF priming and PAF dependent feedback processes, thus preventing escalation of auto generated inflammatory damage.

Objective To summarize the function of Kupffer cell for the ischemia reperfusion injury after liver’s transplatation. Methods The literatures which about the function of Kupffer cell for the ischemia reperfusion injury after liver’s transplatation were reviewed. Results Kupffer cells are the resident macrophages of the liver, which can be activated to generate a range of inflammatory mediators, including cytokines, reactive oxygen intermediates, chemokines, and other factors to startup the ischemia reperfusion injury （IRI）, and to cause the liver graft dysfunction. On the other hand, Kupffer cells can protect the ischemia reperfusion injury by release NO and HO-1. The CO, which is the byproduct of heme degradation by the heme oxygenases （HO-1），has the same function for IRI. Conclusions The Kupffer cells have bidirectional function for the ischemia reperfusion injury of liver’s transpatation. Thus, how to decrease the harmful factors and up-regulate the beneficial substances by Kupffer cells will be the key points in preventing IRI after liver transplantation in future.

Methods Twenty-one male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham operation group (Sham group), ischemia-reperfusion group (IR group), and shenfu injection treated group (SF group). The rats were anesthetized with valebarbitone. Bilateral kidneys were exposed through midline incision. The right kidney underwent the nephrectomy and left renal pedicels were occluded for 60 minutes with a traumatic mini-clamp and then unclamped for 24 hours. Animals in SF group received Shenfu injection (10 mL/kg) through intraperitoneal injection every day for 7 days. About 24 hours after reperfusion, superoxide dismutase (SOD), CAT and malonical aldehyde (MDA) were measured. Results The levels of MDA were lower in SF group than those in IR group (Plt;0.05). The level of SOD and CAT in SF group increased more significantly than which did in IR group (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Our finding suggests that antioxidant system in SF group works more efficiently than IR group to overcome oxidative stress in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Objective Isoflurane has an acute preconditioning effectiveness against ischemia in kidney, but this beneficial effectiveness can only last for 2-3 hours. To investigate whether isoflurane produces delayed preconditioningagainst renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and whether this process is mediated by hypoxia inducible factor 1α(HIF- 1α). Methods A total of 52 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n=13 in each group): the controlgroup (group A), PBS/isoflurane treated group (group B), scrambled small interference RNA (siRNA)/isoflurane treated group (group C), and HIF-1α siRNA/isoflurane treated group (group D). In groups C and D, 1 mL RNase-free PBS containing 50 μg scrambled siRNA or HIF-1α siRNA was administered via tail vein 24 hours before gas exposure, respectively. Equivalent RNasefree PBS was given in groups A and B. Then the mice in groups B, C, and D were exposed to 1.5% isoflurne and 25%O2 for 2 hours; while the mice in group A received 25%O2 for 2 hours. After 24 hours, 5 mice in each group were sacrificed to assesse the expressions of HIF-1α and erythropoietin (EPO) in renal cortex by Western blot. Renal I/R injury was induced with bilateral renal pedicle occlusion for 25 minutes followed by 24 hours reperfusion on the other 8 mice. At the end of reperfusion, the serum creatinine (SCr), the blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and the histological grading were measured. Results The expressions of HIF-1α and EPO in groups B and C were significantly higher than those in group A (P lt; 0.01). The concentrations of SCr and BUN in groups B and C were significantly lower than those in group A, as well as the scores of tubules (P lt; 0.01), and the injury of kidney was amel iorated noticeably in groups B and C. The expressions of HIF-1α and the concentrations of SCr and BUN in group D were significantly lower than those in group A (P lt; 0.01). Compared with groups B and C, the expression of HIF- 1α and EPO in group D decreased markedly (P lt; 0.01), the concentrations of SCr and BUN were increased obviously, as well asthe scores of tubules (P lt; 0.01), and the renal injury was aggratived significantly. Conclusion Isoflurane produces delayed preconditioning against renal I/R injury, and this beneficial effectiveness may be mediated by HIF-1α.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research advances of pyroptosis in hepatic ischamia-reperfusion injury (IRI).MethodThe literatures about the studies of mechanism of pyroptosis in hepatic IRI were retrieved and analyzed.ResultsPyroptosis, also known as inflammatory necrocytosis, was proven to play an important role in the hepatic IRI. When hepatic ischemia-reperfusion occurred, the classical pathway of pyroptosis dependenting on caspase-1 and the non-classical pathway of pyroptosis dependenting on caspase-11 were initiated by specific stimulants, and leaded to the activation of gasdermin D, releases of proinflammatory factors such as interleukin-1β, interleukin-18, etc., and the recruitment and activation of neutrophils. Consequently, pyroptosis caused more severe hepatic inflammation and aggravated existing cell injury and dysfunction of liver during hepatic IRI.ConclusionsPyroptosis plays an important role in liver IRI. Further researches about mechanism of pyroptosis will be beneficial to the prevention and treatment of the pyroptosis of related diseases.
