Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) has brought attention to flap failure in reconstructive surgery. To improve the prognosis of skin transplantation, we performed experimental IRI by surgical obstruction of blood flow and used sodium ferulate (SF) to prevent IRI in rats. After SF treatment, the morphological and histological changes of the skin flaps were observed by H&E and Masson's trichrome staining. We also detected the expression levels of COX-1, HO-1, and Ki67 by immunohistochemical and western blot analysis. Moreover, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to identify the content of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, myeloperoxidase (MPO), malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitric oxide (NO) in peripheral blood and skin tissue. Compared with the model group, SF treatment significantly improved the recovered flap area (%) and promoted collagen synthesis. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression was significantly inhibited by heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) induction after SF treatment. Furthermore, SF significantly inhibited the levels of TNF-α in peripheral blood, MPO and MDA in the skin tissue, and the increased synthesis of NO. Our results showed the protective effects of SF on IRI after flap transplantation and we believe that the protective effects of SF was closely related to the alleviation of the inflammatory response and the inhibition of the oxidative stress injury.

Hypoxic Air Inhalation and Ischemia Interventions Both Elicit Preconditioning Which Attenuate Subsequent Cellular Stress In vivo Following Blood Flow Occlusion and Reperfusion. Front Physiol 2017; 8:560.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is valid technique which elicits reductions in femoral blood flow occlusion mediated reperfusion stress (oxidative stress, Hsp gene transcripts) within the systemic blood circulation and/or skeletal muscle. It is unknown whether systemic hypoxia, evoked by hypoxic preconditioning (HPC) has efficacy in priming the heat shock protein (Hsp) system thus reducing reperfusion stress following blood flow occlusion, in the same manner as IPC. The comparison between IPC and HPC being relevant as a preconditioning strategy prior to orthopedic surgery. In an independent group design, 18 healthy men were exposed to 40 min of (1) passive whole-body HPC (FiO2 = 0.143; no ischemia. N = 6), (2) IPC (FiO2 = 0.209; four bouts of 5 min ischemia and 5 min reperfusion. n = 6), or (3) rest (FiO2 = 0.209; no ischemia. n = 6). The interventions were administered 1 h prior to 30 min of tourniquet derived femoral blood flow occlusion and were followed by 2 h subsequent reperfusion. Systemic blood samples were taken pre- and post-intervention. Systemic blood and gastrocnemius skeletal muscle samples were obtained pre-, 15 min post- (15PoT) and 120 min (120PoT) post-tourniquet deflation. To determine the cellular stress response gastrocnemius and leukocyte Hsp72 mRNA and Hsp32 mRNA gene transcripts were determined by RT-qPCR. The plasma oxidative stress response (protein carbonyl, reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio) was measured utilizing commercially available kits. In comparison to control, at 15PoT a significant difference in gastrocnemius Hsp72 mRNA was seen in HPC (−1.93-fold; p = 0.007) and IPC (−1.97-fold; p = 0.006). No significant differences were observed in gastrocnemius Hsp32 and Hsp72 mRNA, leukocyte Hsp72 and Hsp32 mRNA, or oxidative stress markers (p > 0.05) between HPC and IPC. HPC provided near identical amelioration of blood flow occlusion mediated gastrocnemius stress response (Hsp72 mRNA), compared to an established IPC protocol. This was seen independent of changes in systemic oxidative stress, which likely explains the absence of change in Hsp32 mRNA transcripts within leukocytes and the gastrocnemius. Both the established IPC and novel HPC interventions facilitate a priming of the skeletal muscle, but not leukocyte, Hsp system prior to femoral blood flow occlusion. This response demonstrates a localized tissue specific adaptation which may ameliorate reperfusion stress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury can have detrimental effects on skeletal muscle. We have shown that vessel permeability can be minimized in a hypothermic setting and also by administering the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) stimulator, L-arginine, at physiologic temperatures. The purpose of this study was to examine and compare skeletal muscle contractility after an I/R insult during hypothermic conditions, warm conditions, and also with the administration of L-arginine at physiologic temperatures. We hypothesized that hypothermia and L-arginine administration will also demonstrate protective effects to skeletal muscle contractility. METHODS Using Sprague-Dawley rats, the extensor digitorum longus muscle was rotated on its vascular pedicle to a thermo-controlled stage. Ischemia was established using an atraumatic femoral artery tourniquet. Reperfusion was performed under control and experimental conditions including local hypothermia and intravenous L-arginine. After harvesting experimental muscles, contractility was then quantified by using a tissue bath stimulator with force transducers. RESULTS Warm reperfusion resulted in marked decrease in muscle contractility compared with sham animals. Local hypothermia showed statistically significant preservation of contractility compared with the sham group. This protective effect was recapitulated by the application of NOS inducers (L-arginine) at warm conditions. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that hypothermia and L-arginine are protective of skeletal muscle contractility after an I/R injury. The results presented may have profound effects on future therapeutic recommendations and suggest possible pathways for clinical intervention to modulate I/R injury, which is commonplace in orthopaedic trauma and reconstructive surgery.

Abstract
The volatile anesthetic sevoflurane is capable of inducing preconditioning and postconditioning effects in the brain. In this study, we investigated the effects of sevoflurane postconditioning on antioxidant and immunity indexes in cerebral ischemia reperfusion (CIR) rats. Rats were randomly assigned to five separate experimental groups I–V. In the sham group (I), rats were subjected to the same surgery procedures except for occlusion of the middle cerebral artery and exposed to 1.0 MAC sevoflurane 90 min after surgery for 30 min. IR control rats (group II) were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 90 min and exposed to O2 for 30 min at the beginning of reperfusion. Sevoflurane 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 groups (III, IV, V) were all subjected to MCAO for 90 min, but at the beginning of reperfusion exposed to 0.5 MAC, 1.0 MAC or 1.5 MAC sevoflurane for 30 min, respectively. Results showed that sevoflurane postconditioning can decrease serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), nitric oxide (NO), nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and increase serum interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels in cerebral ischemia reperfusion rats. In addition, sevoflurane postconditioning can still decrease blood lipid, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, infarct volume and increase antioxidant enzymes activities, normal pyramidal neurons density in cerebral ischemia reperfusion rats. It can be concluded that sevoflurane postconditioning may decrease blood and brain oxidative injury and enhance immunity indexes in cerebral ischemia reperfusion rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute compartment syndrome (CS) is a limb-threatening disease that results from increased intracompartmental pressure. The pathophysiologic mechanisms by which this occurs are poorly understood. This study was designed to measure the effects of increased intracompartmental pressure on skeletal muscle microcirculation, inflammation and cellular injury using intravital videomicroscopy (IVVM) in a clinically relevant small animal model. METHODS We induced CS in 10 male Wistar rats (175-250 g), using a saline infusion technique. Intracompartmental pressure was controlled between 30 and 40 mm Hg and maintained for 45 minutes. After fasciotomy, the extensor digitorum longus muscle was visualized using IVVM, and perfusion was quantified. We quantified leukocyte recruitment to measure the inflammatory response. We measured muscle cellular injury using a differential fluorescent staining technique. RESULTS The number of nonperfused capillaries increased from 12.7 (standard error of the mean [SEM] 1.4 ) per mm in the control group to 30.0 (SEM 6.7) per mm following 45 minutes of elevated intracompartmental pressure (CS group; p = 0.031). The mean number of continuously perfused capillaries (and SEM) decreased from 78.4 (3.2) per mm in the control group to 41.4 (6.9) per mm in the CS group (p = 0.001). The proportion of injured cells increased from 5.0% (SEM 2.1%) in the control group to 16.3% (SEM 6.8%) in the CS group (p = 0.006). The mean number of activated leukocytes increased from 3.6 (SEM 0.7) per 100 μm(2) in the control group to 8.6 (SEM 1.8) per 100 μm(2) in the CS group (p = 0.033). CONCLUSION Early CS-induced microvascular dysfunction resulted in a decrease in nutritive capillary perfusion and an increase in cellular injury and was associated with a severe acute inflammatory component.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) results in a rapid onset of diaphragmatic atrophy that is primarily due to increased proteolysis. Although MV-induced protease activation can involve several factors, it is clear that oxidative stress is a required signal for protease activation in the diaphragm during prolonged MV. However, the oxidant-producing pathways in the diaphragm that contribute to MV-induced oxidative stress remain unknown. We have demonstrated that prolonged MV results in increased diaphragmatic expression of a key stress-sensitive enzyme, heme oxygenase (HO)-1. Paradoxically, HO-1 can function as either a pro-oxidant or an antioxidant, and the role that HO-1 plays in MV-induced diaphragmatic oxidative stress is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that HO-1 acts as a pro-oxidant in the diaphragm during prolonged MV. METHODS To determine whether HO-1 functions as a pro-oxidant or an antioxidant in the diaphragm during MV, we assigned rats into three experimental groups: (1) a control group, (2) a group that received 18 h of MV and saline solution, and (3) a group that received 18 h of MV and was treated with a selective HO-1 inhibitor. Indices of oxidative stress, protease activation, and fiber atrophy were measured in the diaphragm. RESULTS Inhibition of HO-1 activity did not prevent or exacerbate MV-induced diaphragmatic oxidative stress (as indicated by biomarkers of oxidative damage). Further, inhibition of HO-1 activity did not influence MV-induced protease activation or myofiber atrophy in the diaphragm. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that HO-1 is neither a pro-oxidant nor an antioxidant in the diaphragm during MV. Furthermore, our findings reveal that HO-1 does not play an important role in MV-induced protease activation and diaphragmatic atrophy.

Abstract
Exposure of HL-60 cells, a human myeloid cell line, to 500μM etomidate for 24h reduced cell viability and increased nitric oxide production and mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening. Preconditioning (1h) with 1μM etomidate 4h before exposure to the 500μM dose of etomidate attenuated those detrimental effects. The mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel (mitoK(ATP) channel) inhibitor 5-hydroxydecanoic acid reduced the etomidate preconditioning effects. The mitoK(ATP) channel opener diazoxide attenuated the mPTP opening caused by the large dose of etomidate. Our results suggest that etomidate can induce a preconditioning effect that may involve mitoK(ATP) channel activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia-reperfusion injury plays an important role in limb salvage following limb ischemia. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of local hypothermia and chemical modulators on microvascular permeability following ischemia-reperfusion injury in skeletal muscle. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into nine groups. Postcapillary venules of the extensor digitorum longus muscle were visualized with use of intravital microscopy. Following an intravenous bolus of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled albumin, the intravascular and extravascular space was examined for leak. Rats in the sham group underwent a one-hour mock ischemic period without the application of a femoral artery tourniquet, followed by one hour of mock reperfusion. The treatment groups (n = 5 in each group) had the tourniquet applied for one hour, followed by one hour of reperfusion at 10 degrees C (cold) alone, at 10 degrees C with nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, at 10 degrees C with heme oxygenase inhibitor, at 10 degrees C with a combination of inhibitors, at 34 degrees C (warm) alone, at 34 degrees C with a heme oxygenase inducer, at 34 degrees C with a nitric oxide synthase inducer, or at 34 degrees C with a combination of inducers. RESULTS Rats in the sham group did not show a significant increase in microvascular permeability. Rats in the warm ischemia/reperfusion group displayed significant increases in microvascular permeability, as did the rats that received inhibitors of heme oxygenase and nitric oxide synthase at 10 degrees C. No significant increase in microvascular permeability was observed in the animals in the cold ischemia/reperfusion group or in animals that received inducers of heme oxygenase and nitric oxide synthase at 34 degrees C. CONCLUSIONS Local hypothermia protects skeletal muscle from increased microvascular permeability following ischemia-reperfusion injury. This protective effect is also seen with the induction of the nitric oxide synthase and heme oxygenase systems at physiologic temperature. We also have shown that the protective effects of hypothermia are blocked by giving heme oxygenase and nitric oxide synthase inhibitors while keeping the muscle hypothermic. These findings demonstrate that heme oxygenase and nitric oxide synthase play a combined role in ischemia-reperfusion injury, suggesting possible pathways for clinical intervention to modulate injury seen following trauma, tourniquet use, vascular surgery, and microvascular surgery.

Abstract
The overexpression of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) provides cytoprotection to cells, making them resistant to otherwise lethal levels of stress. In this review, the role Hsp70 plays in protecting both cardiac and skeletal muscle against the pathophysiological effects of oxidative stress are examined, with a focus on the molecular basis for the cytoprotective effects of Hsp70. The ability of Hsp70 to maintain cell survival undoubtedly involves the regulation of multiple steps within apoptotic pathways, but could also involve the regulation of key upstream mediators of apoptosis (i.e., oxidative stress, Ca2+overload). Hsp70 can stabilize the structure and function of both the skeletal muscle and cardiac Ca2+pump under heat stress conditions. Given that Ca2+overload has long been implicated in cell death, Hsp70 might protect muscle cells by maintaining cellular Ca2+homeostasis, thereby preventing the initiation of apoptosis. The functional interaction between Hsp70 and Ca2+pumps might also promote improvements in muscle contractility after exposure to oxidative stress.

Abstract
Brief limb ischemia was reported to protect neurons against injury induced by subsequent cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, and this phenomenon is known as limb ischemic preconditioning (LIP). To explore the role of nitric oxide (NO) in neuroprotection of LIP in rats, we observed changes in the content of nitric oxide (NO) and activity of NO synthase (NOS) in the serum and CA1 hippocampus of rats after transient limb ischemic preconditioning (LIP), and the influence of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME), a NOS inhibitor, on the neuroprotection of LIP against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Results showed that NO content and NOS activity in serum increased significantly after LIP compared with the sham group. The increase showed a double peak pattern, in which the first one appeared at time 0 (immediate time point) and the second one appeared at 48 h after the LIP (P < 0.01). The NO content and NOS activity in the CA1 hippocampus in LIP group showed similar change pattern with the changes in the serum, except for the first peak of up-regulation of NO content and NOS activity appeared at 6 h after LIP. Pretreatment with L-NAME before LIP blocked the neuroprotection of LIP against subsequent cerebral ischemic insult. The blocking effect of L-NAME was abolished with pretreatment of L-Arg. These findings indicated that NO may be associated with the tolerance of pyramidal cells in the CA1 hippocampus to ischemia induced by LIP in rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ischemic tolerance (IT) is known to improve resistance to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced injury; however, the mechanisms remain unknown. The authors hypothesized that induction of heme oxygenase (HO), a heat shock protein, would provide anti-inflammatory benefits during IT, thereby preventing leukocyte-derived I/R injury. METHODS Male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to sham (n = 4), I/R (n = 9), preconditioning (PC)+I/R (n = 7), chromium mesoporphyrin, to inhibit HO (CrMP; n = 4), or PC+I/R+CrMP (n = 6) groups. PC consisted of 5 cycles of I/R, each lasting 10 min, induced by tightening a tourniquet placed above the greater trochantor of the hindlimb. Twenty-four hours later, the hindlimb underwent 2 h of no-flow ischemia followed by intravital microscopy during 90 min reperfusion to assess capillary perfusion (#/mm), tissue injury (ratio of ethidium bromide to bisbenzimide labeled cells/100 microm2), leukocyte rolling (Lr, #/1000 microm2), and adhesion (La, #/1000 microm2) in postcapillary venules of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle. RESULTS In the I/R group, Lr was significantly increased (7.1 +/- 0.4) compared to sham (3.1 +/- 0.4). PC+I/R increased Lr (10.8 +/- 0.72), which was further exacerbated by the removal of HO (14.2 +/- 1.3). La (7.8 +/- 2.0) was significantly increased compared to sham (2.4 +/- 0.9), while PC returned La back to sham levels (1.9 +/- 0.7). Removal of HO activity, via CrMP, had no significant effect on La (3.9 +/- 0.7). However, CrMP removed the protection to microvascular perfusion (I/R = 9.4 +/- 1.1, PC = 16.6 +/- 1.8, sham = 20.5 +/- 2.8, PC+CrMP+I/R = 12.3 +/- 2.3) and prevented protection from ischemia-induced tissue injury. CONCLUSION The data suggest that HO is an important protective mechanism during IT in skeletal muscle, but such protection was by mechanisms other than altered leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that remote ischemic preconditioning (IPC) by instigation of three cycles of 10-min occlusion/reperfusion in a hindlimb of the pig elicits an early phase of infarct protection in local and distant skeletal muscles subjected to 4 h of ischemia immediately after remote IPC. The aim of this project was to test our hypothesis that hindlimb remote IPC also induces a late phase of infarct protection in skeletal muscle and that KATP channels play a pivotal role in the trigger and mediator mechanisms. We observed that pig bilateral latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle flaps sustained 46 ± 2% infarction when subjected to 4 h of ischemia/48 h of reperfusion. The late phase of infarct protection appeared at 24 h and lasted up to 72 h after hindlimb remote IPC. The LD muscle infarction was reduced to 28 ± 3, 26 ± 1, 23 ± 2, 24 ± 2 and 24 ± 4% at 24, 28, 36, 48 and 72 h after remote IPC, respectively ( P < 0.05; n = 8). In subsequent studies, hindlimb remote IPC or intravenous injection of the sarcolemmal KATP (sKATP) channel opener P-1075 (2 μg/kg) at 24 h before 4 h of sustained ischemia (i.e., late preconditioning) reduced muscle infarction from 43 ± 4% (ischemic control) to 24 ± 2 and 19 ± 3%, respectively ( P < 0.05, n = 8). Intravenous injection of the sKATP channel inhibitor HMR 1098 (6 mg/kg) or the nonspecific KATP channel inhibitor glibenclamide (Glib; 1 mg/kg) at 10 min before remote IPC completely blocked the infarct- protective effect of remote IPC in LD muscle flaps subjected to 4 h of sustained ischemia at 24 h after remote IPC. Intravenous bolus injection of the mitochondrial KATP (mKATP) channel inhibitor 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD; 5 mg/kg) immediately before remote IPC and 30-min intravenous infusion of 5-HD (5 mg/kg) during remote IPC did not affect the infarct-protective effect of remote IPC in LD muscle flaps. However, intravenous Glib or 5-HD, but not HMR 1098, given 24 h after remote IPC completely blocked the late infarct-protective effect of remote IPC in LD muscle flaps. None of these drug treatments affected the infarct size of control LD muscle flaps. The late phase of infarct protection was associated with a higher ( P < 0.05) muscle content of ATP at the end of 4 h of ischemia and 1.5 h of reperfusion and a lower ( P < 0.05) neutrophilic activity at the end of 1.5 h of reperfusion compared with the time-matched control. In conclusion, these findings support our hypothesis that hindlimb remote IPC induces an uninterrupted long (48 h) late phase of infarct protection, and sKATP and mKATP channels play a central role in the trigger and mediator mechanism, respectively.

Abstract
1. Ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is an important contributor to tissue damage and has been shown to be attenuated by preconditioning (PC) in some animal models. A recent report has suggested that the forearm can be used for the study of this phenomenon in humans. We aimed to reproduce and further characterize this model. 2. Healthy young adult volunteers (mean (+/-SEM) age 32+/-6 years) were studied on two occasions. During one visit, IR alone was induced by 10 min of upper arm cuff occlusion, whereas on another occasion a PC stimulus (three 3 min cuff inflations) preceded IR. Endothelial function in the ischaemic arm was assessed by measuring arterial flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and by calculation of forearm blood flow at baseline and 15 and 60 min after IR. Systemic venous blood was sampled from the non-ischaemic arm at baseline, after PC and at 2, 15 and 30 min after IR to assess neutrophil/leucocyte (CD11b) and platelet (bound glycoprotein IIb/IIIa and fibrinogen) activation, as well as numbers of platelet-leucocyte complexes, which were determined by flow cytometry. Because of a lack of measurable effects, the IR experiment was repeated with 20 min ischaemia in six subjects. 3. Five females and eight males completed the study. Flow-mediated dilatation was significantly impaired 30 min after IR (4.1 vs 6.2% at baseline; P<0.05);however, this was not significantly attenuated by ischaemic PC (FMD reduction at 30 min compared with baseline was 2.1+/-0.5% with IR alone and 2.6+/-1.4% with IR after PC; NS). No significant effect was seen on the number of platelet-leucocyte aggregates or on white cell or platelet activation after IR alone or after IR with PC (P>0.6 for all comparisons). Similar results were obtained in six subjects studied subjected to 20 min ischaemia. 4. In conclusion, in healthy young adults, brief periods of skeletal muscle ischaemia lead to arterial endothelial dysfunction, but no significant platelet or white cell activation. Preconditioning does not attenuate this effect on the endothelium. Further experiments with longer ischaemia times and varying PC stimuli may be necessary to produce measurable effects; however, this may prove difficult in conscious human subjects.
