Mucosal damage and recovery of the intestine after prolonged preservation and transplantation in dogs.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Although much is known about the mucosal damage that occurs after intestinal warm ischemia and reperfusion and its recovery, little is known about the effect of cold preservation and transplantation on the mucosa. We studied the electrophysiological, biochemical, and histological changes of the intestinal mucosa after preservation for 24 hr and subsequent transplantation. METHODS The small intestines from adult mongrel dogs were harvested. The intestines were orthotopically autotransplanted immediately (control group) or after preservation for 24 hr (preservation group). Jejunal and ileal tissues were taken before harvesting, at the end of preservation, 1 hr after reperfusion, and on postoperative days 3, 7, 14, and 28. The Ussing chamber method was used to study the electrophysiologic changes. Tissue maltase, diamine oxidase, and ornithine decarboxylase were measured. A histological analysis was also performed. RESULTS Control group grafts showed no evident deterioration in electrophysiology, biochemistry, or morphology. In contrast, preservation group grafts exhibited electrophysiological and biochemical degradation, complete denudation of the villi, and crypt injury (especially in the ileum) after reperfusion. Electrophysiologic function and the mucosa biochemical marker recovered within 3 days in the jejunum and within 7-14 days in the ileum; however, histological recovery of mucosal injury required 28 days in the jejunum and more than 28 days in the ileum. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that despite severe destruction of mucosal integrity by prolonged preservation and transplantation, the intestinal mucosa has an enormous regenerative capacity. Our study also showed that regeneration was more pronounced in the jejunum than in the ileum.

Intestinal neuromuscular function after preservation and transplantation.
While it is well known that prolonged preservation of the intestinal graft causes severe mucosal damage after transplantation, little is known about the effect on neuromuscular function. The entire small intestine of adult hound dogs was flushed and preserved with cold lactated Ringer's solution and autotransplanted either immediately (n = 6) or after 24 hr (n = 6). Animals undergoing sham oper...
متن کاملGlutamine metabolism of intestine grafts: influence of mucosal injury by prolonged preservation and transplantation.
The demand for glutamine increased only in the preserved intestine in the early postoperative period (3 days after transplantation). Glutamine demand of the preserved grafts returned to control and immediate levels 7 and 14 days after transplantation. Three days after intestinal transplantation, when the intestinal mucosa was actively regenerating, the demand for glutamine was markedly enhanced...
متن کاملReduced ischemia-reoxygenation injury in rat intestine after luminal preservation with a tailored solution.
BACKGROUND The intestine is extremely sensitive to ischemic preservation and reoxygenation injury. Current vascular perfusion and cold storage with University of Wisconsin (UW) solution neglect the intestinal lumen and the ongoing mucosal metabolism during hypothermia. This study was designed to test the effects of luminal preservation with an alternative preservation solution in addition to th...
متن کاملRole of xanthine-oxidase system in mucosal injury after intestinal preservation and transplantation.
THE XANTHINE-OXIDASE (XO) system has been considered to be involved in warm ischemia-reperfusion injury of the small intestinal mucosa. 1 Briefly, during warm ischemia in the small intestine. xanthine dehydrogenase (XD) is converted to XO, which produces superoxide radicals in the presence of its" substrate (hypoxanthine and xanthine) and oxygen.2 Meanwhile, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is degr...

The protective effects of Rheum tanguticum polysaccharide 1 (RTP1), which is extracted from the Chinese traditional medicine Rheum tanguticum, on radiation-induced intestinal mucosal injury was investigated. Rat intestinal crypt epithelial cells (IEC-6 cells) and Sprague-Dawley rats were each divided into control, irradiated and RTP1-pretreated irradiated groups. After irradiation, cell surviva...
