Donor Preconditioning with Inhaled Sevoflurane Mitigates the Effects of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in a Swine Model of Lung Transplantation. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:6625955.

Abstract
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) occur in up to 30% of patients undergoing lung transplantation and may impact on the clinical outcome. Several strategies for the prevention and treatment of PGD have been proposed, but with limited use in clinical practice. In this study, we investigate the potential application of sevoflurane (SEV) preconditioning to mitigate IRI after lung transplantation. The study included two groups of swines (preconditioned and not preconditioned with SEV) undergoing left lung transplantation after 24-hour of cold ischemia. Recipients' data was collected for 6 hours after reperfusion. Outcome analysis included assessment of ventilatory, hemodynamic, and hemogasanalytic parameters, evaluation of cellularity and cytokines in BAL samples, and histological analysis of tissue samples. Hemogasanalytic, hemodynamic, and respiratory parameters were significantly favorable, and the histological score showed less inflammatory and fibrotic injury in animals receiving SEV treatment. BAL cellular and cytokine profiling showed an anti-inflammatory pattern in animals receiving SEV compared to controls. In a swine model of lung transplantation after prolonged cold ischemia, SEV showed to mitigate the adverse effects of ischemia/reperfusion and to improve animal survival. Given the low cost and easy applicability, the administration of SEV in lung donors may be more extensively explored in clinical practice.

J Surg Res 2020; 260:325-344. [PMID: 33373852 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2020.11.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Accepted: 11/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Case reports from as early as the 1970s have shown that intravenous injection of even a small dose of volatile anesthetics result in fatal lung injury. Direct contact between volatile anesthetics and pulmonary vasculature triggers chemical damage in the vessel walls. A wide variety of factors are involved in lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI), such as pulmonary endothelial cells, alveolar epithelial cells, alveolar macrophages, neutrophils, mast cells, platelets, proinflammatory cytokines, and surfactant. With a constellation of factors involved, the assessment of the protective effect of volatile anesthetics in LIRI is difficult. Multiple animal studies have reported that with regards to LIRI, sevoflurane demonstrates an anti-inflammatory effect in immunocompetent cells and an anti-apoptotic effect on lung tissue. Scattered studies have dismissed a protective effect of desflurane against LIRI. While a single-center randomized controlled trial (RCT) found that volatile anesthetics including desflurane demonstrated a lung-protective effect in thoracic surgery, a multicenter RCT did not demonstrate a lung-protective effect of desflurane. LIRI is common in lung transplantation. One study, although limited due to its small sample size, found that the use of volatile anesthetics in organ procurement surgery involving "death by neurologic criteria" donors did not improve lung graft survival. Future studies on the protective effect of volatile anesthetics against LIRI must examine not only the mechanism of the protective effect but also differences in the effects of different types of volatile anesthetics, their optimal dosage, and the appropriateness of their use in the event of marked alveolar capillary barrier damage.

The Effect of Cerium Oxide on Lung Tissue in Lower Extremity Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Sevoflurane Administered Rats. Int J Nanomedicine 2020; 15:7481-7489.

Abstract
Introduction We aimed to investigate the effects of cerium oxide, applied before the sevoflurane anesthesia, on lung tissue in rats with lower extremity ischemia-reperfusion (IR). Materials and Methods A total of 30 rats were randomly divided into five groups as; control (C), IR, cerium oxide-IR (CO-IR), IR-sevoflurane (IRS), and cerium oxide-IR-sevoflurane (CO-IRS). In the CO-IR group, 30 minutes after the injection of cerium oxide (0.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal (i.p)), an atraumatic microvascular clamp was placed on the infrarenal abdominal aorta for 120 minutes. Then, the clamp was removed and reperfused for 120 minutes. Sevoflurane was applied in 100% oxygen at a rate of 2.3% at 4 L/min during IR. The blood samples were taken for biochemical analysis and the lung tissue samples were taken for histological analysis. Results Neutrophil infiltration/aggregation was significantly higher in the IR group than in the C and CO-IRS groups. The alveolar wall thickness and total lung injury scores were significantly higher in the IR group than in the C, IRS, CO-IR and CO-IRS groups. Discussion We determined that the administration of 0.5 mg/kg dose of cerium oxide with sevoflurane reduces the oxidative stress and corrects IR-related damage in lung tissue. Our results show that the administration of cerium oxide before IR and the administration of sevoflurane during IR have a protective effect in rats.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a critical syndrome that is associated with a high morbidity and mortality in patients. Sevoflurane has a lung protective effect in ALI as it reportedly has anti‑inflammatory and apoptotic‑regulating activity. However, the mechanism is still not entirely understood. The aim of the present study was to explore the effects of sevoflurane on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced ALI in mice and the possible mechanisms involved. The results revealed that sevoflurane treatment improved LPS‑induced lung injury, as evidenced by the reduction in mortality, lung permeability, lung wet/dry ratio and lung histopathological changes in mice. Total cell counts and the production of pro‑inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor‑α, interleukin (IL)‑1β and IL‑6] in bronchoalveolar fluid were also decreased following treatment with sevoflurane. Additionally, LPS‑triggered apoptosis in lung tissues, which was eliminated by sevoflurane. Furthermore, a miRCURY™ LNA array was employed to screen for differentially expressed microRNAs (miRs/miRNAs). Among these miRNAs, 6 were differentially expressed and were involved in the inflammatory response, but only miR‑27a‑3p (miR‑27a) was regulated by sevoflurane. Subsequently, the present study investigated whether sevoflurane exerts its function through the modulation of miR‑27a. The results demonstrated that the overexpression of miR‑27a via an injection with agomiR‑27a produced similar protections as sevoflurane, while the inhibition of miR‑27a suppressed the lung protective effects of sevoflurane in ALI mice. In addition, the present study identified that miR‑27a inhibited Toll‑like receptor 4 (TLR4) by binding to its 3'‑untranslated region. Western blot analysis demonstrated that sevoflurane may ameliorate the inflammatory response by blocking the miR‑27a/TLR4/MyD88/NF‑κB signaling pathway. The present results indicate that sevoflurane may be a viable therapeutic option in the treatment of patients with ALI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research into injectable volatile anesthetics has been ongoing for approximately 40 years, with limited success, in an attempt to address the deficiencies of inhalational anesthesia. The purpose of this work was to formulate and optimize volatile anesthetic carrier emulsions based on our prior work in perfluorocarbon emulsions. METHODS Perfluorocarbons were screened for their volatilty and emulsion stability. Optimal anesthetic emulsions were manufactured by high pressure homogenization of a select, clinically relevant perfluorocarbon, isoflurane and a surfactant-containing aqueous phase. Longitudinal particle size, polydispersity and isoflurane content analysis was performed. Observational studies of in vivo efficacy and safety were performed in 225-300 g Lewis Rats (n = 34) with blood chemistry and post study tissue pathology analysis. RESULTS Emulsion particle size and isolflurane content in select emulsions were stable at room temperature greater than 300 days. This stability was depedent on perfluorocarbon molecular weight and boiling point. in vivo, emulsions demonstrated a rapid onset and offset. Variability in onset metrics (loss of righting reflex, pain reflexes and time to recovery) was less than 40% amongst individual emulsion preparations (n = 9) utilized in induction trials. No adverse effects due to the intravenous administration of emulsions were observed in blood chemistry results or post-study pathological examination. CONCLUSIONS These formulations showed stability, safety and efficacy. In addition to induction and general anesthesia, these emulsions could have utility in global health or in military applications where equipment and resources are limited.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving clinical treatment but it can induce or aggravate lung injury. New therapeutic strategies, aimed at reducing the negative effects of mechanical ventilation such as excessive production of reactive oxygen species, release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and transmigration as well as activation of neutrophil cells, are needed to improve the clinical outcome of ventilated patients. Though the inhaled anesthetic sevoflurane is known to exert organ-protective effects, little is known about the potential of sevoflurane therapy in ventilator-induced lung injury. This study focused on the effects of delayed sevoflurane application in mechanically ventilated C57BL/6N mice. Lung function, lung injury, oxidative stress, and inflammatory parameters were analyzed and compared between non-ventilated and ventilated groups with or without sevoflurane anesthesia. Mechanical ventilation led to a substantial induction of lung injury, reactive oxygen species production, pro-inflammatory cytokine release, and neutrophil influx. In contrast, sevoflurane posttreatment time dependently reduced histological signs of lung injury. Most interestingly, increased production of reactive oxygen species was clearly inhibited in all sevoflurane posttreatment groups. Likewise, the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β and MIP-1β and neutrophil transmigration were completely prevented by sevoflurane independent of the onset of sevoflurane administration. In conclusion, sevoflurane posttreatment time dependently limits lung injury, and oxidative and pro-inflammatory responses are clearly prevented by sevoflurane irrespective of the onset of posttreatment. These findings underline the therapeutic potential of sevoflurane treatment in ventilator-induced lung injury.

Abstract
Reperfusion after tourniquet use can induce inflammation and cause remote organ injury. We evaluated the therapeutic effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on inflammatory mediators and lung function in patients receiving lower limb tourniquets. Forty patients undergoing unilateral lower extremity surgery with tourniquet were randomly assigned to two groups: the TEAS group and ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) group. The C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and arterial blood gas analysis were measured preoperatively and 6 h after tourniquet removal. The levels of CXCL8, IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and CCL2 were significantly increased compared to baseline values in both groups, but the increase was significantly smaller in the TEAS group. In the TEAS group, the partial pressure of oxygen and arterial-alveolar oxygen tension ratio were significantly decreased, and the alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference and respiratory index were significantly increased, compared to those in the I/R group at 6 h after reperfusion. In conclusion, TEAS diminished the upregulation of proinflammatory factors in response to lower limb ischemia-reperfusion and improved pulmonary gas exchange.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sevoflurane is one of the most commonly used volatile anesthetic agents with the fastest onset and offset, replacing isoflurane in modern anesthesiology. Preconditioning and postconditioning using volatile anesthetics can attenuate ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). However, no previous studies have evaluated the effect of sevoflurane in lung transplantation after cold ischemic injury. We aimed to study the effects of donor and recipient treatment with sevoflurane in a rat lung transplantation model. METHODS Lewis rats were allocated to four groups: control, PreC (preconditioning), PostC (postconditioning), and PreC + PostC. Donor rats in the PreC and PreC + PostC groups were exposed to 1.5% sevoflurane for 30 minutes before donor operation. Donor lungs were flushed with Perfadex and stored for 12 hours at 4°C before transplantation. Recipients received orthotopic left lung transplantation. In the PostC and PreC + PostC groups, sevoflurane was initiated 2 minutes before reperfusion and maintained for 30 minutes. Two hours after reperfusion, lung function was evaluated, and samples were collected for histologic, inflammatory, and cell death assessment. RESULTS Preconditioning and postconditioning using sevoflurane significantly improved the oxygenation of lung grafts (partial arterial gas pressure of oxygen: 198 mm Hg in control, 406.5 mm Hg in PreC, 472.4 mm Hg in PostC, and 409.7 mm Hg in PreC + PostC, p < 0.0001) and reduced pulmonary edema. Sevoflurane treatment reduced levels of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Moreover, sevoflurane significantly inhibited apoptotic cells by a decrease in cytochrome c release into cytosol and caspase-3 cleavage. CONCLUSIONS Preconditioning or postconditioning of lungs using sevoflurane exhibits a significant protective effect against early phase of ischemia-reperfusion injury in a rat lung transplantation model.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) causes a systemic inflammatory response in tissues, with an increase in IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α in blood and tissues. Cytoprotective effects of sevoflurane in different experimental models are well known, and this protective effect can also be observed in VILI. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of sevoflurane in VILI. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective, randomized, controlled study was designed. Twenty female rats were studied. The animals were mechanically ventilated, without sevoflurane in the control group and sevoflurane 3% in the treated group (SEV group). VILI was induced applying a maximal inspiratory pressure of 35 cmH2O for 20 min without any positive end-expiratory pressure for 20 min (INJURY time). The animals were then ventilated 30 min with a maximal inspiratory pressure of 12 cmH2O and 3 cmH2O positive end-expiratory pressure (time 30 min POST-INJURY), at which time the animals were euthanized and pathological and biomarkers studies were performed. Heart rate, invasive blood pressure, pH, PaO2, and PaCO2 were recorded. The lung wet-to-dry weight ratio was used as an index of lung edema. RESULTS No differences were found in the blood gas analysis parameters or heart rate between the 2 groups. Blood pressure was statistically higher in the control group, but still within the normal clinical range. The percentage of pulmonary edema and concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 in lung tissue in the SEV group were lower than in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Sevoflurane attenuates VILI in a previous healthy lung in an experimental subclinical model in rats.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is induced as a result of reentry of the blood and oxygen to ischemic tissue. Antioxidant and some other drugs have protective effect on IRI. In many surgeries and clinical conditions IRI is counteract inevitable. Some anesthetic agents may have a protective role in this procedure. It is known that inhalational anesthetics possess protective effects against IRI. In this review the mechanism of preventive effects of volatile anesthetics and different ischemia-reperfusion models are discussed.

Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to sevoflurane or treated with MC stabilizer cromolyn sodium (CS) were subjected to 75-minute superior mesenteric artery occlusion followed by 2-hour reperfusion in the presence or absence of MC degranulator compound 48/80 (CP). Small intestinal ischemia reperfusion resulted in severe intestinal injury as demonstrated by significant elevations in intestinal injury scores and p47phox and gp91phox, ICAM-1 protein expressions and malondialdehyde and IL-6 contents, and MPO activities as well as significant reductions in SOD activities, accompanied with concomitant increases in mast cell degranulation evidenced by significant increases in MC counts, tryptase expression, and β-hexosaminidase concentrations, and those alterations were further upregulated in the presence of CP. Sevoflurane preconditioning dramatically attenuated the previous IIR-induced alterations except MC counts, tryptase, and β-hexosaminidase which were significantly reduced by CS treatment. Furthermore, CP exacerbated IIR injury was abrogated by CS but not by sevoflurane preconditioning. The data collectively indicate that sevoflurane preconditioning confers protections against IIR injury, and MC is not involved in the protective process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Systemic inflammatory response following ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) to a specific organ may cause injuries in multiple remote organs. The emergence of ischemic postconditioning (IPO) provides a potential method for experimentally and clinically attenuating various types of organ postischemic injuries. We have shown that IPO can attenuate lung IRI by up-regulating the protein expression of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1). This study tested the hypothesis that IPO attenuates systemic inflammatory responses following lung IRI by activating HO-1. METHODS Anaesthetized and mechanically ventilated adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to one of the following groups (n = 8 each): the sham-operated control group, the ischemia-reperfusion (IR) group (40 min of left-lung ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion), the IPO group (three successive cycles of 30-s reperfusion per 30-s occlusion before restoring full perfusion), and the zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnP) plus IPO group (ZnP, an inhibitor of HO-1, was injected intraperitoneally at 20 mg/kg 24 h prior to the experiment, and the rest of the procedures were similar to that of the IPO group). Lung injury was assessed by arterial blood gas analysis, wet-to-dry lung weight ratio and tissue histologic and biochemical changes. The lung tissue and plasma levels of lipid peroxidation were determined by measuring the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) production. Protein expression of HO-1 was determined by Western blotting. Pulmonary neutrophil was counted. Lung tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity as well as plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukines 6 and 8 (IL-6, IL-8) were determined by spectrophotography. RESULTS Lung ischemia-reperfusion led to severe lung pathologic morphologic changes and increased pulmonary MDA production, neutrophil count, and MPO activity and reduced arterial oxygen partial pressure (all P < 0.05 IR versus sham), accompanied with a compensatory increase in HO-1 protein and activity. Plasma levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 were increased in the IR group (all P < 0.05 versus sham). IPO attenuated or prevented all the above changes, except that it further increased lung HO-1 activity. Treatment with ZnP abolished all the protective effects of postconditioning. CONCLUSION Postconditioning attenuated pulmonary neutrophil accumulation and activation and lung IRI and reduced systemic inflammatory responses by activating HO-1.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Inhalational anaesthetic agents are a cornerstone in modern anaesthetic practice. The currently used compounds are very effective and have a good safety profile. In addition, it has been demonstrated that they possess organ-protective properties that might provide an additional tool in the treatment or prevention of the consequences of organ ischaemia-reperfusion injury or both. The present review summarizes some of the most recent findings on this subject. RECENT FINDINGS The mechanisms underlying the organ-protective effects of inhalational anaesthetics continue to be further unravelled. The main challenge, however, is to determine the clinical importance of these protective effects and their potential benefits for patients. Initial observations in cardiac surgery are encouraging, and the first clinical studies on other organ systems are being published. Noble gases share these organ-protective properties and may provide an additional tool for this purpose both in situations in which anaesthesia is needed (xenon) or in cases in which anaesthesia is not necessary (helium). SUMMARY In the experimental setting, inhalational anaesthetics have protective effects against ischaemia-reperfusion injury. Initial perioperative data suggest that these effects may also result into clinically relevant improved organ function. However, further research will be needed to reveal whether these organ-protective properties will ultimately translate into an improved short-term and long-term postoperative outcome.
