The protective effect of dexmedetomidine in a rat ex vivo lung model of ischemia-reperfusion injury

Acta cir. bras; 33 (1), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine (Dex) in a rat ex vivo lung model of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods: An IL-2 ex vivo lung perfusion system was used to establish a rat ex vivo lung model of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Drugs were added to the perfusion solution for r...

Systemic administration of curcumin nanoparticles protects ischemia-reperfusion injury in ovaries: An animal model study

Summary Objective: Ovarian torsion must be diagnosed and treated as early as possible. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of intraperitoneal administration of nanocurcumin on ischemia-reperfusion injury in ovaries. Method: Thirty-five (35) healthy female Wistar rats weighing ap...

Effect of atenolol pre-treatment in heart damage in a model of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion

Acta cir. bras; 32 (11), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effects of atenolol in inflammatory mediator and oxidative stress in a myocardial injury by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion in rat model. Methods: Adult Wistar male rats were randomly (n=8), anesthetized and divided in: Sham: submitted to operation only; group SS+...

Tadalafil protector effect during ischemia-reperfusion in rats

Acta cir. bras; 32 (11), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate histological parameters in rat renal tissue after tadalafil use during hot ischemia for 45 minutes and reperfusion for 24 hours. Methods: Twenty rats were divided into 2 groups. In the experimental group 10 mg/kg of tadalafil was used per gavage before the procedure. All...

The effects of local ischemic preconditioning and topical hypothermia in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats

Acta cir. bras; 32 (10), 2017
Abstract Purpose: Topical hypothermia and local ischemic preconditioning have been shown to reduce renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury individually. We examined whether combination of both strategies lessens renal I/R injury. Methods: Post right nephrectomy, 40 male Wistar rats were randomly assi...

Impact of propofol on renal ischemia/reperfusion endoplasmic reticulum stress

Acta cir. bras; 32 (7), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the protective mechanisms of propofol (Pro) on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury by studying its impact on renal I/R endoplasmic reticulum stress. Methods: Eighteen male Sprague-Dawley rats (SD rats) were randomly divided into three groups: the I/R group, the Pro...

The role of ischemic preconditioning and pentoxifylline in intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury of rats

Acta cir. bras; 32 (7), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the role of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and pentoxifylline (PTX) in intestinal mucosa ischemia/reperfusion injury (IR). Methods: Thirty rats were assigned to 5 groups (N=6): (CG): no clamping of the superior mesenteric artery (90 min.); (IR-SS): saline + ischemia (3...

Resultados preliminares de hipotermia tópica do fígado em modelo de isquemia/reperfusão hepática em ratos

Arq. gastroenterol; 54 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Ischemia/reperfusion causes organ damage but it is mandatory in hepatic transplantation, trauma and other complex liver surgeries, when Pringle maneuver is applied to minimize bleeding during these procedures. It is well known that liver ischemia/reperfusion leads to microcirculator...

Avoiding liver injury with papaverine and ascorbic acid due to infrarenal cross-clamping: an experimental study

Abstract Objective: Ischemia-reperfusion injury after acute ischemia treatment is a serious condition with high mortality and morbidity. Ischemia-reperfusion injury may result in organ failure particularly in kidney, lung, liver, and heart. In our study, we investigated the effects of papaverine and vit...

Intraperitoneal administration of silymarin protects end organs from multivisceral ischemia/reperfusion injury in a rat model

Abstract Objective: To determine whether intraperitoneal silymarin administration has favorable effects on the heart, lungs, kidney, and liver and on oxidative stress in a rat model of supraceliac aorta ischemia/reperfusion injury. Methods: Thirty male Wistar albino rats were divided equally into three...
