Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI), a major public health problem associated with high mortality and increased risk of progression towards end-stage renal disease, is characterized by the activation of intra-renal haemostatic and inflammatory processes. Platelets, which are present in high numbers in the circulation and can rapidly release a broad spectrum of bioactive mediators, are important acute modulators of inflammation and haemostasis, as they are the first cells to arrive at sites of acute injury, where they interact with endothelial cells and leukocytes. Diminished control of platelet reactivity by endothelial cells and/or an increased release of platelet-activating mediators can lead to uncontrolled platelet activation in AKI. As increased platelet sequestration and increased expression levels of the markers P-selectin, thromboxane A2, CC-chemokine ligand 5 and platelet factor 4 on platelets have been reported in kidneys following AKI, platelet activation likely plays a part in AKI pathology. Results from animal models and some clinical studies highlight the potential of antiplatelet therapies in the preservation of renal function in the context of AKI, but as current strategies also affect other cell types and non-platelet-derived mediators, additional studies are required to further elucidate the extent of platelet contribution to the pathology of AKI and to determine the best therapeutic approach by which to specifically target related pathogenic pathways.

Abstract
F(2)-isoprostanes are formed by oxidative modification of arachidonic acid and are the gold standard for detection of oxidative stress in vivo. F(2)-isoprostanes are biologically active compounds that signal through the thromboxane A(2) (TP) receptor; infusion of F(2)-isoprostanes reduces glomerular filtration in the kidney by constricting afferent arterioles. This study investigated whether endogenous F(2)-isoprostanes contribute to the pathogenesis of ischemic acute kidney injury, which is associated with oxidative stress and reduced glomerular filtration. TP receptor knockout mice-that lack F(2)-isoprostanes and thromboxane A(2) signalling-and wild-type control mice underwent 30 min of renal ischemia and 24 h of reperfusion. Kidney dysfunction, histological injury and the number of infiltrated neutrophils were similar between the two mouse strains, whereas TP receptor knockout mice had significantly more apoptotic cells and tissue lipid peroxidation than their wild-type counterparts. F(2)-isoprostanes and thromboxane B(2) were readily detectable in urine collections after surgery. The findings indicate that F(2)-isoprostanes and thromboxane A(2) signalling do not contribute critically to the pathogenesis of ischemic acute kidney injury and more generally provide evidence against a prominent role for F(2)-isoprostanes signalling in exacerbating acute disease states associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postischemic organ dysfunction is influenced by gender and sexual steroids. METHODS To compare the susceptibility of the kidney to postischemic failure between sexes, the left vascular pedicle was clamped for 50 minutes in anesthetized male and female Wistar rats. Survival rate, renal and systemic hemodynamics and renal prepro-endothelin (pp-ET) mRNA expression were measured. RESULTS Eight percent of males as compared to 75% of females survived for more than 7 days. Previous orchidectomy of mature rats or sexual immaturity improved the rate of 7 day survival to 67% and 58%, respectively, as compared to intact males (P < 0.05). Estradiol treatment of mature male animals also resulted in a significantly better survival. Ovariectomy, sexual immaturity or testosterone treatment had no impact on the course of renal failure in females. The early postischemic recovery of renal blood flow was delayed due to a dramatic increase in renal vascular resistance in male versus female rats. The expression of pp-ET gene in the kidneys was increased at 5 minutes following reperfusion and was significantly higher 2 hours after ischemia in males, but not in females. Pretreatment with the endothelin A receptor antagonist LU 135252 provided indistinguishable survival rates in intact male and female rats after warm renal ischemia. CONCLUSION Female rats enjoy relative protection against postischemic renal failure. Furthermore, in intact males the effects of androgens upon ischemic kidney damage seem to be mediated by endothelin-induced vascular changes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the process of ischemia-reperfusion, inflammatory cytokines and arachidonic acid metabolites are released and followed by tissue damage. FK3311 (FK) is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor that inhibits conversion of arachidonic acid into thromboxane A2 or prostaglandin I2. We investigated the effects of FK in canine lung transplantation. METHODS FK3311 was administered in the FK group, and vehicle was injected in the control group. The left lung was orthotopically transplanted after 12-hour preservation in Euro-Collins solution. After reperfusion, the right pulmonary artery and bronchus were ligated, and the animals were observed. Pulmonary gas exchange and hemodynamics were measured, histopathologic damages were investigated, and technetium-99m-labeled albumin scintigraphy was performed. The serum prostanoid levels were also measured. RESULTS In the FK group, pulmonary gas exchange and hemodynamics were significantly (p < 0.05) better, histologic damage and neutrophil infiltration was reduced, and technetium-99m-albumin accumulation was considerably suppressed. Also, thromboxane B2 was significantly (p < 0.05) lower, but 6-keto-prostaglandin F1alpha was not significantly reduced. CONCLUSIONS FK3311 generates protective effects on lung transplantation by a marked inhibition of thromboxane A2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pringle's procedure is commonly used during liver surgery, and it sometimes causes liver failure. Metabolites of arachidonic acid, which are converted by cyclooxygenase (Cox), are involved in ischemia-reperfusion injury. This study evaluated the effects of FK 3311, which selectively inhibits Cox-2, on ischemia-reperfusion injury during liver resection in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS The animals were divided into four groups and subjected to 60 min of warm ischemia by partial inflow occlusion. The FK-treated groups (FK0.2: 0.2 mg/kg, FK1: 1 mg/kg, FK3: 3mg/kg) received FK3311, and the control group received vehicle. Following reperfusion, the nonischemic lobes were resected and remnant liver function was evaluated. RESULTS Tissue blood flow and serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, and lactate dehydrogenase were significantly better in the FK1 and FK3 groups, especially FK1, than in the control group. Thromboxane B(2) was significantly lower in the FK1 and FK3 groups than in the control group. The level of 6-keto-prostaglandin F(1alpha) was significantly lower in the FK3 group and relatively unchanged in the FK1 group. Histological damage was milder in the FK1 group. There were significantly fewer polymorphonuclear neutrophils in the FK1 group than in the control group. CONCLUSIONS FK3311 ameliorates the ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by Pringle's procedure during extensive liver resection. This agent may be clinically useful in extended liver surgery involving vascular isolation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both the eicosanoids and nitric oxide are known to play an important role in the pathogenesis of postischemic injury. Recent evidence has suggested that the generation of each may affect the other via a feedback loop. This was investigated in an experimental model of renal warm ischemia reperfusion injury. METHODS Rats underwent bilateral renal warm ischemia (15-60 min) then reperfusion (20 or 80 min) followed by a unilateral nephrectomy to measure renal nitric oxide (as nitroxides) and eicosanoids. Renal function was measured on days 2 and 7 prior to terminal nephrectomy for tissue analysis. RESULTS Vasodilator eicosanoids (6-KPGF1alpha and PGE2) fell on reperfusion in line with the duration of warm ischemia with a concomitant rise in the vasoconstrictor TxA2. The ratio of vasodilator to vasoconstrictor eicosanoids fell from 8.22 (2.3) in the control to 0.82 (0.1) in the 60-min warm ischemia group (P<0.01). Renal levels of nitroxides rose on reperfusion demonstrating an inverse correlation with the eicosanoid ratio (r2=0.86). Renal function was impaired at both day 2 and day 7 and showed a positive correlation with the eicosanoid ratio (r2=0.67 and 0.62, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Renal warm ischemic injury is associated with a progressive fall in the ratio of vasodilator-to-vasoconstrictor eicosanoids from early in reperfusion through to day seven although nitric oxide was elevated throughout the same period. There was no evidence of coinduction of nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase in this model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated the effects of a selective COX-2 inhibitor, FK3311, on warm ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in the canine lung. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen adult mongrel dogs were used in this study. In the FK group (n = 8), FK (1 mg/kg) was administered intravenously 15 min before ischemia and 15 min before reperfusion. In the control group (n = 8), a vehicle was injected in the same manner. Warm ischemia was induced for 3 h by clamping the left pulmonary artery, veins, and bronchus. Five-minute clamping tests of the right pulmonary artery were performed before ischemia and 30 min after reperfusion. During the test, left pulmonary vascular resistance (L-PVR), cardiac output (CO), and arterial oxygen pressure (PaO(2)) were measured. The lung specimens were simultaneously harvested for wet-to-dry weight ratio (WDR) measurements, histopathological studies, and polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) counts. Serum thromboxane (Tx) B(2) and 6-keto-prostaglandin (PG) F(1alpha) (stable metabolites of TxA(2) and PGI(2), respectively) were also measured 30 min after reperfusion. RESULTS L-PVR, CO, PaO(2), and WDR were significantly (P < 0.05) better in the FK group than in the control group. Histological tissue edema was mild, and PMN infiltration was significantly (P < 0.05) reduced in the FK group compared to the control group. The serum TxB(2) levels were significantly (P < 0.05) lower in the FK group than in the control group, while 6-keto-PGF(1alpha) levels were not significantly (P < 0.05) reduced. Two-day survival rate was significantly (P < 0.05) better in the FK group than in the control group. CONCLUSIONS FK has protective effects on pulmonary I/R injury stemming from marked inhibition of TxA(2).

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion injury leads to delayed graft function, which is a major problem in kidney transplantation. This study investigated the effects of adding trimetazidine (TMZ) to the perfusate of cold-stored kidneys on the function of reperfused autotransplanted pig kidney. The left kidney was removed and cold-flushed with Euro-Collins (EC), or University of Wisconsin (UW) solutions with or without 10(-6)M TMZ and stored for 48 h at 4 degrees C. The kidneys were then autotransplanted and the contralateral kidneys were removed. Several parameters were analyzed over the 14 d after transplantation. The survival rate was 57% in pigs transplanted with kidneys cold-flushed with UW and 43% for those flushed with EC solution; it was 100% for pigs having kidneys cold-flushed with TMZ-supplemented UW and EC solutions. The functions of the transplanted kidneys were also better preserved after cold flush with TMZ-supplemented solutions than with TMZ-free solutions. Creatinine clearance was higher and the urinary excretion of trimethylamine-N-oxide and dimethylamine, used as markers of renal medulla injury, were lower in animals transplanted with kidneys cold-flushed with TMZ-supplemented solutions than with TMZ-free solutions. The cytoprotective action of TMZ also reduced interstitial and peritubular inflammation and the numbers of infiltrating mononuclear CD45+and CD3+ T cells. These results indicate that the tissue damage due to ischemia/reperfusion injury may be prevented, at least in part, by adding TMZ to preservation solutions.

Abstract
Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) contributes significantly to posttransplant graft dysfunction. An emphasis, therefore, has been directed toward the identification of novel renoprotective agents. In this study, the renoprotective effect of tetrodotoxin (TTX) alone, or in combination with a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor (OKY-046), was investigated in a 60-min warm ischemia, 72-h reperfusion, IRI rodent model. Unilateral nephrectomized rats were treated with the test vehicle alone, 1, 2, or 4 microgram/kg of TTX or 2 mg/kg of OKY-046 intravenously, either 15 min pre- or postischemia, or 2 microgram/kg TTX administered simultaneously with OKY-046 (2 mg/kg), following the ischemic interval. Baseline, 24, and 72 h mean plasma creatinine (Cr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) were compared. Maximal renoprotection was demonstrated by significantly improved 72-h Cr and BUN levels with the 2 microgram/kg of TTX or with 2 mg/kg of OKY-046, each administered after ischemia (ischemic control Cr = 8. 01 +/- 1.07 mg/dl vs TTX = 3.84 +/- 0.80 mg/dl, P = 0.008; vs OKY-046 = 4.0 +/- 1.5, P + 0.008; ischemic control BUN = 241.3 mg/dl +/- 32.8 vs TTX = 85.7 mg/dl +/- 18.7, P < 0.008; vs OKY-046 = 52.6 +/- 22.5, P = 0.008). The combination therapy utilizing TTX with OKY-046 resulted in reduced animal survival, demonstrating no renoprotection as measured with the biochemical parameters. These results support the renoprotective effects of TTX in a severe, rodent IRI model. The exact mechanism of action, as well as the therapeutic potential of TTX in preservation/transplantation, warrants further study.

Abstract
The influence of warm ischemia on the metabolism of prostaglandins was investigated using a pig liver transplantation model employing the temporary portal arterialization technique. Eighteen pigs were divided into three groups according to warm ischemia time: 0 min (group I, n = 6), 30 min (group II, n = 6), and 60 min (group III, n = 6). During portal arterialization, the hepatic venous prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) level in group III (3356.0 +/- 1011.8 pg/ml) was significantly higher than that in group I (831.7 +/- 182.1 pg/ml; P = 0.0285). The hepatic venous PGE2 levels were significantly higher than the arterial counterparts in all groups both at the beginning and during portal arterialization. At 60 min after portal revascularization, the arterial PGE2 level in group III (886.7 +/- 268.0 pg/ml) was significantly higher than that in group I (99.0 +/- 18.6 pg/ml; P = 0.0116) and II (204.2 +/- 65.4 pg/ml; P = 0.0282). Neither thromboxane B2 (TXB2) nor 6-keto PGF1 alpha showed any significant differences. In conclusion, the intraoperative changes of PGE2 thus reflected the degree of warm ischemic damage, and PGE2 could also be released from the graft. On the other hand, the increased levels of TXB2 and 6-keto PGF1 alpha were thought to have an extrahepatic origin.

Abstract
NSAID use is pervasive in our society. Existing NSAIDs pose little risk to patients who tolerate them early during their administration. Among persons with normal renal function who have no other risk factors (dehydration) for an acute hemodynamic effect, there is no risk. However, NSAID administration to susceptible persons may cause decrements in renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate within hours. This acute hemodynamic effect is the most common renal syndrome caused by NSAIDs. With careful monitoring, this effect is readily detected with routine clinical laboratory tests (serum creatinine and/or blood urea nitrogen concentrations). However, patients who continue administration of NSAIDs in this setting risk acute tubular necrosis and permanent damage to the kidney. Newer NSAIDs that selectively inhibit cyclooxygenase-2: cyclooxygenase-1 ratio may provide a more favorable risk profile for patients who cannot tolerate existing drugs.

Abstract
Lower torso revascularisation following ischaemia results in a systemic inflammatory response. Endothelial barrier function is disrupted by neutrophil-derived proteases and oxidants. Taurine, an amino acid found in large quantities in neutrophils, is a powerful endogeneous anti-oxidant. The aims of this study were to investigate the systemic effects of reperfusion following lower limb revascularisation and to evaluate the role of taurine administration in preventing this injury. A rat model of aortic occlusion (30 min) followed by 2 h of reperfusion was used. Animals were randomised to one of three groups (n = 10 per group): control; ischaemia reperfusion untreated (IR) and taurine-treated. Taurine (4% solution) was administrated orally for 48 h prior to the experiment. Neutrophil infiltration and microvascular permeability were assessed by measuring tissue myeloperoxidase activity and wet/dry weights respectively in lung, liver, kidney, and in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Statistical analysis was by means of analysis of variance (ANOVA). Reperfusion resulted in pulmonary and renal microvascular injury as assessed by organ oedema. Hepatic tissue, skeletal and cardiac muscle were unaffected by lower limb revascularisation. Taurine was effective in preventing neutrophil-mediated pulmonary but not renal microvascular injury. These data suggest that, whilst reperfusion-induced pulmonary injury is predominantly neutrophil-mediated, agents other than neutrophil-derived oxidative metabolites, capable of independently causing organ injury through direct endothelial damage, are produced during reperfusion.

Abstract
Renal formation of the vasoconstrictor prostaglandins thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) was investigated in 25 patients with cardiac failure, divided into New York Heart Association functional classes I to IV, and in eight healthy control subjects. Plasma renin activity (PRA) and hemodynamic parameters were also investigated. Renal vasoconstrictor eicosanoid formation, measured in urinary daily excretion, was not different between patients in class I and control subjects. Class II to IV patients showed progressively increasing production of PGF2 alpha (F = 49.8, p < 0.001, analysis of variance) and TXA2 (F = 37.8, p < 0.002). PGF2 alpha excretion peaked in class IV (+ 1266% vs class I, p < 0.001). Compared with class I, urinary excretion of thromboxane B2 was + 816% in class III and + 1561% in class IV (both p < 0.001). PRA was significantly increased only in class IV (+ 1558%, p < 0.001). The current results indicate a progressive increase in renal production of vasoconstrictor eicosanoids directly related to New York Heart Association class and suggest that these prostanoids may have a role in deterioration of renal function.

Abstract
We have shown that 5-hr preservation using the two-layer (University of Wisconsin solution/perfluorochemical) method at 20 degrees C allows ATP synthesis and makes it possible to resuscitate a canine pancreas subjected to 90 min of warm ischemia. However, 8 hr of preservation using this method caused a disturbance of vascular microcirculation and did not resuscitate the grafts. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of thromboxane A2 synthesis inhibitor OKY046 on vascular endothelial cells and ATP tissue levels of canine pancreas during preservation using the two-layer (University of Wisconsin solution/perfluorochemical) method at 20 degrees C, and vascular microcirculation and pancreas viability after transplantation. Graft viability was judged by graft survival following autotransplantation. ATP tissue levels were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography at the end of preservation. Viability of the vascular endothelial cells was judged using nuclear trypan blue uptake of the graft after preservation. Pancreatic tissue perfusion was measured using an H2 clearance technique after reperfusion. Pancreas grafts subjected to 90 min of warm ischemia were not viable (0/5). However, 5-hr preservation made it possible to recover the pancreas (5/5); 8-hr preservation was not successful (0/3). ATP tissue levels after 5-hr and 8-hr preservation were 9.40+/-2.09 and 7.37+/-1.06 micromol/g dry weight, respectively, and OKY046 did not affect ATP synthesis during 8-hr preservation (8.44+/-0.92 micromol/g dry weight). The percentage of nuclear trypan blue uptake of endothelial cells in 8-hr-preserved grafts was 37.6+/-11.6% and was significantly higher than the value in 5-hr-preserved grafts (5.0+/-3.0%; P<0.01). However, OKY046 significantly reduced trypan blue uptake in 8-hr-preserved grafts (8.2+/-3.6%; P<0.01). Pancreatic tissue perfusion in 8-hr-preserved grafts after 2 hr of reperfusion was 28.5+/-7.5 ml/min/100 g, and was significantly lower than the value in 5-hr-preserved grafts (57.1+/-4.4 ml/ min/100 g; P<0.01), but OKY046 dramatically improved pancreatic tissue perfusion (97.1+/-14.6 ml/min/100 g; P<0.01). As a consequence, 8-hr-preserved grafts were resuscitated (4/5). We conclude that OKY046 protects the vascular endothelium during preservation by the two-layer method at 20 degrees C and consequently improves vascular microcirculation on reperfusion. Together with ATP synthesis, which is essential for repairing damaged cells, the canine pancreas graft subjected to 90 min of warm ischemia is resuscitated during 8-hr preservation by the two-layer method at 20 degrees C. This method holds promise for pancreas-kidney transplantation from cardiac arrest donors.

Abstract
Ischaemia-reperfusion injury is a complex interrelated sequence of events that classically involves the vascular endothelium and activated leucocytes. During the ischaemic phase the endothelium is primed both to produce free radicals and to secrete chemoattractants. The resultant neutrophil sequestration serves to amplify the injury, but damage is not confined to the postischaemic area and more generalized effects typically follow. The situation in the kidney is complex for, while ischaemia primes the tissue for reperfusion damage, it also causes early and irreversible tubular injury. Furthermore, it appears that relatively less importance should be attached to the involvement of neutrophils than at other sites, and relatively more to a local postischaemic imbalance in the levels of nitric oxide and endothelin. Despite a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of ischaemia-reperfusion injury, effective treatment remains elusive and research is hampered by apparent species and organ-specific differences.

Abstract
PURPOSE In cadaveric renal transplantation a period of delayed graft function postoperatively is not uncommon and often associated with a poor outcome. We reviewed the biology of reperfusion injury and delayed graft function in renal transplantation, as well as its prevention, management and long-term effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical literature covering acute tubular necrosis, delayed graft function in renal transplantation and immunology of ischemia reperfusion injury was reviewed. RESULTS Delayed graft function is clearly associated with poor allograft survival, and is caused by an interaction of ischemic and immunological factors. Technical and pharmacological maneuvers can improve early function rates. The response to ischemic injury is complex, and may increase graft immunogenicity and promote the chronic proliferative changes seen in chronic allograft nephropathy. CONCLUSIONS Improvement in early renal function should be a primary goal in renal transplantation to enhance early and long-term results. Basic research into the injury response may yield insights into renal pathophysiology.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of ischemia-reperfusion renal injury is mediated, in part, by the generation of the vasoconstricting prostanoid thromboxane A2 (TXA2). This study was undertaken to evaluate the renoprotective effects, as well as the optimal timing and dosage, of a selective thromboxane synthetase inhibitor, OKY-046, in a unilateral nephrectomized, 60 min ischemia, 72 hr reperfusion, rodent model. Forty-one rats were subjected to right nephrectomy only (group A), or right nephrectomy with 60 min of left renal ischemia and treatment with inactive vehicle only (group B), or 2 mg/kg or 4 mg/kg of OKY-046 administered intravenously before (groups C and D) or after (groups E and F) pedicle clamping. Outcome variables included animal survival; change in kidney weight; 0, 24, and 72 hr plasma creatinine (CR); urea nitrogen (BUN); thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-keto prostaglandin F(1alpha) (6 kPGF(2alpha)) levels; creatinine clearance (CRCL); and histologic evidence of renal injury. Animal survival and postperfusion kidney weight were not significantly different among the groups. However, renal functional parameters were significantly improved with the 2 mg/kg dose of OKY-046 administered after renal ischemia. (group B 72 hr Cr= 8.01 +/- 1.1 mg% vs. group E=3.99 +/- 1.5 mg%, and group B 72 hr BUN=241.3 +/- 32.8 mg% vs. group E=52.6 +/- 22.5 mg%). The CRCL was also improved in group E vs. group B, although these results did not reach statistical significance (group B=0.069 ml/min vs. group E=0.194 ml/ min). The 24 hr TXB2 levels were significantly increased in group B (0 hr=754.1 +/- 219.4 pg/ml vs. 24 hr=2055.9 +/- 550.0 pg/ml), and pre- or posttreatment with OKY-046 abrogated this increase (group C 0 hr=517.1 +/- 80.9 pg/ml vs. 24 hr=384.7 +/- 251.5 pg/ml, and group E 0 hr=781.6 +/- 390.4 pg/ml vs. 24 hr=183.0 +/- 81.4 pg/ml). The 24 hr 6 kPGF(1alpha) levels decreased in all groups, whereas 72 hr 6 kPGF(1alpha) levels increased above baseline in groups A, C, and E, but not in group B. These data demonstrate the beneficial effects of thromboxane A2 synthesis inhibition in the setting of ischemia-reperfusion injury and suggest that this renoprotection correlates with late vasodilatory prostanoid synthesis.

Abstract
Contralateral uninephrectomy attenuates unilateral renal ischemic injury. The present work was performed to elucidate whether the beneficial effect of uninephrectomy was mediated through the modification of the actions of thromboxane A2 (TxA2) or prostacyclin. Unilateral ischemic injury was provoked by a 60-minute left renal artery occlusion in right nephrectomized (Nx) and in sham-nephrectomized (Sham-Nx) rats. Inulin clearance (CIn) of left kidney 48 hours after ischemia was significantly higher in the Nx group than in the Sham-Nx group (0.11 +/- 0.07 vs. 0.00 +/- 0.00 ml/min/kidney, P < 0.05). Ischemia-induced tubular necrosis was also less in Nx animals. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) staining, a marker for cell proliferation, was found more markedly in Nx rats than in Sham-Nx animals. Forty-eight hours after ischemia, renal cortical TxB2 content was greater in Sham-Nx rats than in Nx rats (29.5 +/- 4.4 vs. 18.3 +/- 1.7 pg/mg protein, P < 0.05). No significant difference was found in the intrarenal content of 6-keto prostaglandin F1 alpha between two ischemia groups. A thromboxane synthetase inhibitor, OKY-046 (100 mg/kg/day, i.p.), significantly increased CIn 48 hours after ischemia (0.00 +/- 0.00 vs. 0.17 +/- 0.09 ml/min/kidney, P < 0.05) and attenuated ischemic tubular damage in Sham-Nx rats but not in Nx animals. Under OKY-046 treatment, no significant difference was found in postischemic CIn and ischemic tubular damage between the Nx and Sham-Nx groups. OKY-046 also increased PCNA expression in the cortex and outer stripe in Sham-Nx animals. These data suggest that less production of intrarenal TxB2 plays an important role for the uninephrectomy-induced attenuation of ischemic renal damage and for the facilitation of tubular recovery.

Abstract
To evaluate the role of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) in ischemic liver injury, the serum changes in thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-K-PGF1 alpha) following warm ischemia of the total canine liver were examined, and the protective effect of a TXA2 synthetase inhibitor was assessed. Total liver ischemia was performed for 60 min on two groups of dogs: a control group, in which ischemia alone was performed, and an OKY-046 group, which received a TXA2 synthetase inhibitor. A temporary active portacaval shunt was used to eliminate the effects of splanchnic venous stasis during clamping of the hepatic pedicle. Postoperative changes in liver function, assessed by the transaminase enzyme levels, and in prostaglandins were recorded and the histologic liver findings of both groups 1 week after ischemia were compared. The levels of 6-K-PGF1 alpha increased after reperfusion in both groups, while those of TXB2 increased in the control group but maintained low levels in the OKY-046 group. Liver function was better and histologic changes less marked in the OKY-046 group than in the control group, suggesting the important role of TXA2 in ischemic liver injury and the usefulness of a TXA2 synthetase inhibitor for protecting the liver against ischemic injury.

Abstract
We investigated the cytoprotective effects of verapamil, a Ca channel blocker, and of iloprost (ZK 36374), a stable prostacyclin analogue, on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in Wistar albino rat kidneys that were subjected to 60 min of warm ischemia and reperfusion. The groups included sham, ischemia-untreated (ISCH), verapamil-treated (VER), iloprost-treated (ILO), and verapamil + iloprost (VER + ILO)-treated rats. The 7-day survival of all the treated groups was better than that of the ISCH group. The creatinine concentration on the 3rd day was significantly lower in the VER + ILO group than in the ISCH group. Serum creatinine on day 3 was also low in the VER + ILO groups compared to the ISCH group, although the differences were not significant. The creatinine values on day 7 were significantly lower in the VER and ILO group than in the control, VER, or ILO groups. The malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations of the kidney cortex tissue after reperfusion in all groups were higher than normal. The tissue-reduced glutathione (GSH) concentrations of the kidneys sampled immediately after reperfusion were significantly lower in the ISCH group than in all of the other treated groups. These results indicate that although verapamil and iloprost have independent cytoprotective effects on 60-min warm ischemia/reperfusion injury of rat kidneys, the protection afforded when both drugs are combined is synergistic. The mechanism of cytoprotection is not limited to the suppression of lipid peroxidation, and a nearly complete protection of reperfusion injury can be obtained by such an intervention.

Abstract
Prostanoids, such as prostacyclin (PGI) and thromboxane A2 (TxA), have been recently suggested to play an important role in preservation-induced injury of pancreas grafts. We have previously shown that the TxA synthesis inhibitor OKY046 prevents a decrease of both the PGI/TxA ratio and blood flow in pancreas grafts after 24-hr preservation with Euro-Collins solution. In our present study, we analyzed whether OKY046 added to University of Wisconsin (UW) solution could extend successful cold-storage preservation of segmental canine pancreas grafts, compared with UW alone. We divided 30 dogs into four preservation groups: Group 1, UW solution for 72 hr (n = 7); Group 2, UW solution for 96 hr (n = 8); Group 3, UW solution plus OKY046 (10(-4) M) for 72 hr (n = 7); and Group 4, UW solution plus OKY046 (10(-4) M) for 96 hr (n = 8). After the cold storage period, segmental pancreas auto-transplantation with immediate completion pancreatectomy was done. Preservation was deemed successful if serum glucose less than 150 mg/dl was maintained for at least 5 days. Intravenous glucose tolerance tests and biopsies were done in those dogs with functioning grafts 14 days post-transplant. Successful preservation rates were as follows: Group 1, 57.1%; Group 2, 12.5%; Group 3, 100%; and Group 4, 75%. The mean K values (+/- standard error) were: Group 1, 1.54 +/- 0.13; Group 2, 0.59; Group 3, 1.54 +/- 0.14; and Group 4, 1.59 +/- 0.24 (not statistically different).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the proportion of the 6-keto prostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto PGF1 alpha) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) alteration that is due to ischemia in pancreas transplantation against the proportion due to reperfusion. For this purpose, Lewis rats were divided in three experimental groups: Group I = Control, Group II = Donor pancreas subjected to 15 minutes of cold ischemia, Group III = Same as group II but pancreas were transplanted to the recipient individual and then subjected to reperfusion. The results indicate that increases in pancreas 6-keto PGF1 alpha occur as a consequence of cold ischemia while TXB2 remains unchanged. When blood flow was restored, 6-keto PGF1 alpha remained unchanged compared to the ischemic group while pancreatic levels of TXB2 were significantly increased. These results suggest a different induction of prostanoid metabolism during ischemia and reperfusion in pancreatic tissue.

Abstract
Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) was used in renal transplant recipients with living related donors. The drug was given intravenously from day 1 to day 7 after transplantation at a dose of 40 microg/kg twice a day. A total of 45 patients were studied divided into two groups: 25 patients were treated with PGE1 (group B) and the remaining 20 patients did not receive the drug (group A). In group B, 24-h creatinine clearance (Ccr) was 66 +/- 12.8 ml/min compared with 40.3 +/- 13.4 ml/min in group A on the fifth postoperative day (P < 0.05). Urinary levels of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and serum levels of platelet factor 4 (PF4) in group B were significantly lower than in group A. On the fourth postoperative day, the urinary excretion of thromboxan B2 (TxB2) in group A was higher than in group B, but not significantly (5.1 +/- 3.0 ng/day and 2.8 +/- 1.1 ng/day, respectively). Acute rejection occurred in four patients in group B and in 10 patients (40%) in group A. The percentage of Leu2a-positive lymphocytes in group B was higher than in group A. We conclude that postoperative administration of PGE1 improves graft function in kidneys from living related donors.

Abstract
Interleukin-2 (IL-2), an agent known to activate neutrophils (PMN) with thromboxane (Tx)B2 release, produces pulmonary edema within 6 hours of intravenous infusion. This study tests the role of PMN in mediating the edema. Anesthetized rats received 10(6)U recombinant human IL-2 (n = 15) or vehicle (n = 14) as a constant intravenous infusion during a period of 1 hour. At this time there was leukopenia 3.63 +/- 0.43 (x10(3)/mm3) relative to vehicle-infused control rats 6.12 +/- 0.86 and a decline in PMN, 2.19 +/- 0.14 relative to control value of 3.33 +/- 0.05 (both p less than 0.05). After 6 hours edema, as measured by increase in the wet to dry weight (W/d) ratio, was present in the lungs (4.93 +/- 0.20 relative to control 4.06 +/- 0.10), heart (4.09 +/- 0.11 versus 3.76 +/- 0.08), liver (3.50 +/- 0.10 versus 3.18 +/- 0.10), and kidney (4.25 +/- 0.07 versus 4.00 +/- 0.07) (all p less than 0.05). There was increased lung permeability demonstrated by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid protein concentration of 1970 +/- 210 micrograms/mL relative to control 460 +/- 90 micrograms/mL (p less than 0.05). Interleukin-2 resulted in lung PMN sequestration of 53 +/- 7 PMN/10 high-power fields (HPF) relative to 23 +/- 2 PMN/10 HPF in controls (p less than 0.05) and increased plasma TxB2 levels to 1290 +/- 245 pg/mL relative to control 481 +/- 93 pg/mL (p less than 0.05). Pretreatment of other rats (n = 8) with selective anti-rat neutrophil antiserum 18 hours before the experiment led to a peripheral PMN count 10% of baseline and prevented edema in the lungs (W/d ratio 4.20 +/- 0.16) and heart (3.67 +/- 0.07) (both p less than 0.05) but not liver or kidney. Protein in lung lavage was reduced to 760 +/- 220 micrograms/mL (p less than 0.05). The protection afforded by leukopenia was associated with lack of PMN sequestration and prevention of the increase in plasma Tx levels (484 +/- 120 pg/mL, p less than 0.05). These data indicate that the rapid induction of lung and heart edema with a 1-hour infusion of IL-2 in the rat is mediated, in large part, by activated PMNs.

Abstract
Ischaemia is a common clinical event leading to local and remote injury. Evidence indicates that tissue damage is largely caused by activated neutrophils which accumulate when the tissue is reperfused. If the area of ischaemic tissue is large, neutrophils also sequester in the lungs, inducing non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema. Ischaemia reperfusion injury is initiated by production of reactive oxygen species which initially appear responsible for the generation of chemotactic activity for neutrophils. Later, once adherent to endothelium, neutrophils mediate damage by secretion of additional reactive oxygen species as well as proteolytic enzymes, in particular elastase. Therapeutic options for limiting ischaemia reperfusion injury include inhibition of oxygen radical formation, pharmacological prevention of neutrophil activation and chemotaxis, and also the use of monoclonal antibodies which prevent neutrophil-endothelial adhesion, a prerequisite for injury.

Abstract
The administration of the aminonucleoside of puromycin (PAN) to rats causes the nephrotic syndrome that is associated with an acute decline in renal function, and an interstitial infiltrate. We examined whether essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD), which inhibits macrophage infiltration in glomerulonephritis, affects PAN-induced renal dysfunction. Both control and EFAD rats developed proteinuria that resolved over 28 d. After PAN administration, there was a prominent infiltration of macrophages in rats fed a normal diet. The infiltrate was prevented by the EFAD diet. The absence of a macrophage interstitial infiltrate was associated with a significantly higher Cin in the EFAD rats than in controls at 7 d (5.21 +/- 1.19 versus 0.39 +/- 0.08, P less than 0.002 ml/min/kg BW). In addition, CPAH fell to less than 10 ml/min/kg BW by day 7 in controls, but remained the same as normal in the EFAD. After administration of PAN to control rats, there was no increase in urinary thromboxane excretion or an increase in glomerular thromboxane production. Furthermore, the effect of EFAD could not be mimicked by the administration of a thromboxane synthase inhibitor. Irradiation-induced leukopenia in rats on a normal diet markedly improved glomerular filtration and renal blood flow in acutely nephrotic rats. EFAD prevents the interstitial cellular infiltrate and the renal ischemia associated with experimental nephrosis. The recruitment of mononuclear cells into the kidney following PAN directly contributes to the decline in renal function.
