Effect of Prostacyclin on Pulmonary Ischemia-reperfusion Injury according to the State of Lung Inflation
نویسنده
چکیده
Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a serious problem which can occur during lung transplantation. Preservation of pulmonary function by reducing ischemia-reperfusion injury is essential for successful lung transplantation. Although the mechanisms responsible for ischemia-reperfusion lung injury are not clear yet, it is commonly accepted that ischemic time, storage conditions and additive usage of some pharmacologic agents are responsible for the severity of ischemia-reperfusion lung injury. There have been numerous investigations about the effective methods to ameliorate ischemiareperfusion injury. In the present study, we focused on the effectiveness of prostacyclin (PGI2) and lung expansion in reducing pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury. The state of inflation of donor lung has been reported to play important role in reducing ischemiareperfusion injury. PGI2, which can be employed with single flush perfusion, has recently been used by many centers and has been proven to provide favorable results. We postulated that the effectiveness of PGI2 would be different according to the application of pulmonary inflation. We evaluated the individual and combined effects of lung expansion and intravenous infusion of PGI2 in warm ischemiareperfusion model. The severity of ischemia-reperfusion injury was assessed by means of pulmonary oxygenation and lung water fraction.

Objective(s):Acute kidney injury (AKI), a syndrome characterized by decreased glomerular filtration, occurs in every 1 of 5 hospitalized patients. Renal ischemia-reperfusion, one of the main causes of AKI, is of particular importance in the setting of kidney transplantation.

Introduction: This study investigated the effect of berberine on renal dysfunction and histological damages of the lung induced by renal ischemia/ reperfusion at an early stage. Methods: There were four experimental groups of adult male rats (n=7). Seven days before induction of ischemia, the Ber+I/R group received oral (by gavage) berberine (15 mg/kg/day) while the I/R group received distil...

We used the isolated-perfused rat lung model to study the influence of pulmonary ventilation and surfactant instillation on the development of postreperfusion lung microvascular injury. We hypothesized that the state of lung inflation during ischemia contributes to the development of the injury during reperfusion. Pulmonary microvascular injury was assessed by continuously monitoring the wet lu...

To study the mechanisms responsible for ischemia-reperfusion lung injury, we developed an anesthetized rabbit model in which the effects of lung deflation, lung inflation, alveolar gas composition, hypothermia, and neutrophils on reperfusion pulmonary edema could be studied. Rabbits were anesthetized and ventilated, and the left pulmonary hilum was clamped for either 2 or 4 h. Next, the left lu...
