Abstract
ABSTRACT Crush syndrome (CS), also known as traumatic rhabdomyolysis, is the leading cause of death following extrication from structural collapse due to earthquakes. Due to the unfeasibility of human studies, animal models are used to study crush syndrome pathophysiology, including biochemistry and treatment regimes. The aim of this systematic literature review was to identify the differences and benefits of various animal models used in the study of CS and provide valuable information for design of future research. A systematic search was conducted in two methods: with the filters "(crush syndrome) AND (crush muscle injury)" and with the keywords "(crush syndrome) AND (animal model)" covering all articles in the PubMed databases. The search generated 378 articles. After screening abstracts, 91 articles were retrieved and read, then 11 repeated articles were removed and 2 reference papers were included. We finally reviewed 82 original articles. There appear to be two primary methods employed for inducing crush syndrome in animal models, which are chemically induced injury and physically induced injury. Chemical method mainly includes intramuscular (IM) injection of tissue extract solution and IM injection of 50% glycerine. Physical method can be classified into invasive and non-invasive physical compression by elasticated material, inflatable band and heavy load. Various species of animals have been used to study CS, including mice (13.4%), rats (68.3%), rabbits (11.0%), canines (4.9%), goats (1.2%), and pigs (1.2%). Small animals are suitable for researches exploring the mechanism of disease or drug efficacy while large animals can work better with clinical application-related researches. In regard to the choice of modeling method, compressing the certain muscle of animals by heavy things is superior to others to cause systemic trauma-related rhabdomyolysis signs. In addition, due to the significant burden of crush injuries on animals, further attention shall be paid to the selection of the most suitable anesthetics and appropriate analgesics.

Anti-high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) mediates the apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) by receptor of advanced glycation end-products (RAGE)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway in the rats of crush injuries. J Orthop Surg Res 2022; 17:20.

Abstract
Objectives The lung injury is often secondary to severe trauma. In the model of crush syndrome, there may be secondary lung injury. We hypothesize that high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), released from muscle tissue, mediates the apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) via HMGB1/Receptor of advanced glycation end-products (RAGE)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway. The study aimed to investigate how HMGB1 mediated the apoptosis of AEC in the rat model. Methods Seventy-five SD male rats were randomly divided into five groups: CS, CS + vehicle, CS + Ethyl pyruvate (EP), CS + FPS-ZM1 group, and CS + SP600125 groups. When the rats CS model were completed after 24 h, the rats were sacrificed. We collected the serum and the whole lung tissues. Inflammatory cytokines were measured in serum samples. Western blot and RT-qPCR were used to quantify the protein and mRNA. Lastly, apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL. We used SPSS 25.0 for statistical analyses. Results Nine rats died during the experiments. Dead rats were excluded from further analysis. Compared to the CS group, levels of HMGB1 and inflammatory cytokines in serum were downregulated in CS + EP, CS + FPS-ZM1, and CS + SP600125 groups. Western blot and RT-qPCR analysis revealed a significant downregulation of HMGB1, RAGE, and phosphorylated-JNK in CS + EP, CS + FPS-ZM1, and CS + SP600125 groups, compared with the CS groups, excluding total-JNK mRNA. Apoptosis of AEC was used TUNEL to assess. We found the TUNEL-positive cells were downregulated in CS + EP, CS + FPS-ZM1, and CS + SP600125 groups. Conclusion The remote lung injury begins early after crush injuries. The HMGB1/RAGE/JNK signaling axis is an attractive target to abrogate the apoptosis of AEC after crush injuries.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of bardoxolone methyl (BM), a nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activator, on acute kidney injury in a rat model of crush syndrome model. METHODS Sixty-four rats were separated equally into eight groups, sham (sterile saline ip), crush, crush + vehicle (DMSO ip), and crush + BM (10 mg/kg ip) (n = 8). All groups were also divided as 3 and 24 h after decompression. Crush injury was induced by 6 h of direct compression to both hind limbs of the rats with blocks weighing 3.6 kg on each side, followed by 3 and 24 h of decompression. Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), tumor necrotizing factor-α (TNF-α), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) concentrations, tissue total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) were measured in the kidneys. Serum creatine kinase (CK), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine concentrations were also measured. Glomerular and tubular structures were examined histopathologically. Bcl-2 was measured using immunohistochemistry. Apoptosis was assessed using the TUNEL method. RESULTS BM treatment reduced KIM-1, NGAL, TNF-α, TGF-β1, TOS concentrations, and increased TAS concentrations in the kidneys 3 and 24 h after decompression. Serum CK, BUN and creatinine concentrations were also reduced with BM. BM treatment decreased apoptosis in crush-related AKI. The Nrf2 activator BM reversed the crush-induced changes in the experimental rats. CONCLUSION BM treatment prevented the progression of crush-related AKI in rats possibly through its cytoprotective effects of being an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic agent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury is the most serious complication of crush syndrome. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously produced gaseous signaling molecule. It is involved in homeostatic functions, such as blood pressure control, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation. In this study, effects of H2S on kidney injury were investigated in a rat model of crush syndrome. METHODS Rats were divided into six groups (n = 8): Sham (steril saline ip), crush (sterile saline ip), crush + NaHS (sodium hydrosulfide, an H2S donor) (100 μmol/kg ip). All these groups were also separated as 3 and 24 h after decompression. Crush injury was induced by 6 h of direct compression to both hindlimbs of anesthetized rats with blocks weighing 3.6 kg each sides, followed by 3 or 24 h of decompression. Kidney injury molecule-1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, tumor-necrotizing factor-α, transforming growth factor-β, tissue total oxidant status, and total antioxidant status levels were measured in kidney homogenates 3 and 24 h after decompression. Serum creatine kinase, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine levels were also measured. Apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL method. Bcl-2 was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Glomerular and tubular structures were also examined histopathologically. RESULTS NaHS reduced kidney injury molecule-1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, tumor-necrotizing factor-α, transforming growth factor-β, total oxidant status levels, and increased total antioxidant status levels in kidney 3 and 24 h after decompression. Serum urea, creatinine, and creatine kinase levels also reduced with NaHS. NaHS decreased renal damage and apoptosis in crush-related acute kidney injury. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that H2S could reduce crush-related acute kidney injury via anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic effects.

Abstract
Objective Crush syndrome is characterized by traumatic muscular injuries with severe systemic clinical repercussions. The systemic inflammatory reaction characterized acutely by infiltration of neutrophils in the lungs has been studied as part of the spectrum of crush syndrome. Experimental research may demonstrate alternative treatments for crush syndrome. The authors studied the hypothesis that hypertonic saline solution (7.5% NaCl) could minimize the local and systemic effects in a model of muscular compression and hemorrhagic shock. Methods Rabbits were submitted to a new model of muscle compression associated with hemorrhagic shock. Compression was applied through an Esmarch bandage, used for 1 h on the entire right lower limb. Hemorrhagic shock was induced for 1 h by dissection and catheterization of the carotid artery. Blood replacement or hypertonic saline solution was used to treat the shock. Biochemical analysis of plasma, quantification of muscular edema, and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lungs were carried out. Results Animals treated with hypertonic solution presented the same hemodynamic response as the blood treated patients, less water in the compressed muscles and less infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lungs. The blood group presented hypocalcemia, a facet of crush syndrome. Conclusions The proposed model was effective for the study of crush syndrome associated with hemorrhagic shock. The treatment with hypertonic solution showed benefits when compared with blood volume replacement.

Combined administration of anisodamine and neostigmine rescued acute lethal crush syndrome through α7nAChR-dependent JAK2-STAT3 signaling. Sci Rep 2016; 6:37709.

Abstract
Previously we showed that Ani (anisodamine)/Neo (neostigmine) combination produced anti-shock effect via activating α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR). In this study, we aim to investigate the therapeutic effect and underlying mechanisms of Ani/Neo combination in acute lethal crush syndrome (CS). In rat and rabbit CS models, Ani/Neo combination increased the 24 h survival rates, improved hemodynamics and decreased the levels of creatine kinase, MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, K+ in serum. It also decreased the levels of H2O2, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and nitric oxide (NO) in serum and compressed muscle in rat CS model. In wild-type (WT) mice with CS, Ani/Neo combination increased 24 h survival rate and decreased the levels of H2O2, MPO, NO, TNFα, IL-6 and IL-10 in compressed muscle. These effects were attenuated by α7nAChR knockout (KO). Moreover, Ani/Neo combination prevented the decrease of phosphorylation of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) induced by CS. These effects of Ani/Neo in CS mice were cancelled by methyllycaconitine (α7nAChR antagonist) and α7nAChR KO. Collectively, our results demonstrate that Ani/Neo combination could produce therapeutic effects in CS. The underlying mechanism involves the activation of α7nAChR-dependent JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objectives Muscle injury due to crushing (muscle compression injury) is associated with systemic manifestations known as crush syndrome. A systemic inflammatory reaction may also be triggered by isolated muscle injury. The aim of this study was to investigate the plasma levels of interleukins (IL) 1, 6 and 10 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), which are markers for possible systemic inflammatory reactions, after isolated muscle injury resulting from lower-limb compression in rats. Methods Male Wistar rats were subjected to 1 h of compression of their lower limbs by means of a rubber band. The plasma levels of IL 1, 6 and 10 and TNF-α were measured 1, 2 and 4 h after the rats were released from compression. Results The plasma levels of IL 10 decreased in relation to those of the other groups, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). The method used did not detect the presence of IL 1, IL 6 or TNF-α. Conclusion Our results demonstrated that the changes in plasma levels of IL 10 that were found may have been a sign of the presence of circulating interleukins in this model of lower-limb compression in rats.
