Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (i-IRI) involves a blood flow interruption in an intestinal segment followed by restoration. When is restored, oxidative and inflammatory molecules are distributed throughout the bloodstream, triggering both local systemic damage. Our goal was to evaluate potential of three antioxidant and/or anti-inflammatory compounds (curcumin, dexmedetomidine α-tocopherol) prevent or reverse damage induced i-IRI.i-IRI placing microvascular clip superior mesenteric...
Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (i-IRI) is a rare disorder with high mortality rate, resulting from the loss of blood flow to an intestinal segment. Most damage triggered by restoration and arrival cytokines reactive oxygen species (ROS), among others. Inactivation these molecules before tissue reperfusion could reduce damage. The aim this work was analyze preventive effect allopurinol nitroindazole on mucosal after i-IRI. Wag/RijHsd rats were subjected i-IRI clamping superior...
Abstract Current methodology described to mimic lower limb ischaemia–reperfusion injury (LL-IRI) does not accurately define the procedures and pressures exerted induce maintain ischaemia. In this piece of work, we propose a well-defined detailed rat model that simulates conditions established in clinical practice guidelines for tourniquet application allows us test treatments aim prevent/reduce LL-IRI. Eighty-six male WAG/RijHsd rats were subjected hind IRI (LL-IRI), using mechanical system...
Surgery under ischemic conditions, lasting up to 3 h, is routinely performed in orthopedic surgery, causing undesirable injury due ischemia-reperfusion syndrome, with short and medium-term functional repercussions. To date, there no established prophylactic treatment. In this work we evaluated folinic acid (FA) a rodent model of lower limb (IRI-LL). 36 male WAG rats underwent h ischemia. the saline group, received intraperitoneal administration (used as vehicle for treatment). experimental...
Retinal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury occurs in pathological situations that interrupt the blood flow to retina, such as is case during central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). The animal models described literature are based on pressure produced by weight of a given quantity saline elevated certain height; however, establish these parameters it necessary perform mathematical calculations cannot be easily redone punctual variations intraocular (IOP). aim this study was present new system...
Background: Lower limb ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI-LL) is a common major complication of orthopedic surgery, especially in elderly patients.
