Abstract
Responding to tissue injury, skeletal muscles undergo the tissue destruction and reconstruction accompanied with inflammation. The immune system recognizes the molecules released from or exposed on the damaged tissue. In the local minor tissue damage, tissue-resident macrophages sequester pro-inflammatory debris to prevent initiation of inflammation. In most cases of the skeletal muscle injury, however, a cascade of inflammation will be initiated through activation of local macrophages and mast cells and recruitment of immune cells from blood circulation to the injured site by recongnization of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and activated complement system. During the inflammation, macrophages and neutrophils scavenge the tissue debris to release inflammatory cytokines and the latter stimulates myoblast fusion and vascularization to promote injured muscle repair. On the other hand, an abundance of released inflammatory cytokines and chemokines causes the profound hyper-inflammation and mobilization of immune cells to trigger a vicious cycle and lead to the cytokine storm. The cytokine storm results in the elevation of cytolytic and cytotoxic molecules and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the damaged muscle to aggravates the tissue injury, including the healthy bystander tissue. Severe inflammation in the skeletal muscle can lead to rhabdomyolysis and cause sepsis-like systemic inflammation response syndrome (SIRS) and remote organ damage. Therefore, understanding more details on the involvement of inflammatory factors and immune cells in the skeletal muscle damage and repair can provide the new precise therapeutic strategies, including attenuation of the muscle damage and promotion of the muscle repair.

Characterization of Novel P-Selectin Targeted Complement Inhibitors in Murine Models of Hindlimb Injury and Transplantation. Front Immunol 2021; 12:785229.

Abstract
The complement system has long been recognized as a potential druggable target for a variety of inflammatory conditions. Very few complement inhibitors have been approved for clinical use, but a great number are in clinical development, nearly all of which systemically inhibit complement. There are benefits of targeting complement inhibition to sites of activation/disease in terms of efficacy and safety, and here we describe P-selectin targeted complement inhibitors, with and without a dual function of directly blocking P-selectin-mediated cell-adhesion. The constructs are characterized in vitro and in murine models of hindlimb ischemia/reperfusion injury and hindlimb transplantation. Both constructs specifically targeted to reperfused hindlimb and provided protection in the hindlimb ischemia/reperfusion injury model. The P-selectin blocking construct was the more efficacious, which correlated with less myeloid cell infiltration, but with similarly reduced levels of complement deposition. The blocking construct also improved tissue perfusion and, unlike the nonblocking construct, inhibited coagulation, raising the possibility of differential application of each construct, such as in thrombotic vs. hemorrhagic conditions. Similar outcomes were obtained with the blocking construct following vascularized composite graft transplantation, and treatment also significantly increased graft survival. This is outcome may be particularly pertinent in the context of vascularized composite allograft transplantation, since reduced ischemia reperfusion injury is linked to a less rigorous alloimmune response that may translate to the requirement of a less aggressive immunosuppressive regime for this normally nonlife-threatening procedure. In summary, we describe a new generation of targeted complement inhibitor with multi-functionality that includes targeting to vascular injury, P-selectin blockade, complement inhibition and anti-thrombotic activity. The constructs described also bound to both mouse and human P-selectin which may facilitate potential translation.

Abstract
Limb ischemia reperfusion (LIRI) injury is associated with serious local and systemic effects. Reperfusion may augment tissue injury in excess of that produced by ischemia alone. Calcium overloading and inflammation are considered to be two of the pathological mechanisms of limb ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Tao-Hong-Si-Wu decoction (THSWD) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine with a powerful anti-inflammatory properties. We studied the probable restorative effect of THSWD on limb I/R-induced calcium overloading and inflammation in myoblast obtained from gastrocnemius muscle tissues of Sprague-Dawley rats (Frizzled Z5,a wnt5a blocker; KN-93, a calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CamkII) blocker; XeC, a IP3R blocker as positive controls). The simulated ischemia and reperfusion(I/R) solutions were used to imitate LIRI environment. The results showed that after I/R treatment, the secretion of proinflammatory factors (TNF-α and IL-1β) and Wnt5a/Ca2+ signal molecules (wnt5a, camkII, and IP3R) upregulated significantly, the Ca2+ concentration enhanced too in myoblast cells. THSWD pretreatment decreased the secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β, Ca2+ concentration; and abated the Wnt5a/Ca2+ signal molecules of wnt5a, camkII and IP3R expression activated by I/R injury; but could not abated the Wnt11 and protein kinase C (PKC) expression significantly, the results was similar with Frizzled Z5 treatment cells. Our research illustrated that THSWD may have a mitigating effect on LIRI targeting Wnt/IP3R/CAMKII but not Wnt/IP3R/PKC signaling pathway for the first time. This study may encourage the use of THSWD in the critical clinical settings with LIRI.

Acute Limb Ischemia-Much More Than Just a Lack of Oxygen. Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:ijms19020374. [PMID: 29373539 PMCID: PMC5855596 DOI: 10.3390/ijms19020374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2017] [Revised: 01/17/2018] [Accepted: 01/23/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Acute ischemia of an extremity occurs in several stages, a lack of oxygen being the primary contributor of the event. Although underlying patho-mechanisms are similar, it is important to determine whether it is an acute or chronic event. Healthy tissue does not contain enlarged collaterals, which are formed in chronically malperfused tissue and can maintain a minimum supply despite occlusion. The underlying processes for enhanced collateral blood flow are sprouting vessels from pre-existing vessels (via angiogenesis) and a lumen extension of arterioles (via arteriogenesis). While disturbed flow patterns with associated local low shear stress upregulate angiogenesis promoting genes, elevated shear stress may trigger arteriogenesis due to increased blood volume. In case of an acute ischemia, especially during the reperfusion phase, fluid transfer occurs into the tissue while the vascular bed is simultaneously reduced and no longer reacts to vaso-relaxing factors such as nitric oxide. This process results in an exacerbative cycle, in which increased peripheral resistance leads to an additional lack of oxygen. This whole process is accompanied by an inundation of inflammatory cells, which amplify the inflammatory response by cytokine release. However, an extremity is an individual-specific composition of different tissues, so these processes may vary dramatically between patients. The image is more uniform when broken down to the single cell stage. Because each cell is dependent on energy produced from aerobic respiration, an event of acute hypoxia can be a life-threatening situation. Aerobic processes responsible for yielding adenosine triphosphate (ATP), such as the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria, suffer first, thus disrupting the integrity of cellular respiration. One consequence of this is irreparable damage of the cell membrane due to an imbalance of electrolytes. The eventual increase in net fluid influx associated with a decrease in intracellular pH is considered an end-stage event. Due to the lack of ATP, individual cell organelles can no longer sustain their activity, thus initiating the cascade pathways of apoptosis via the release of cytokines such as the BCL2 associated X protein (BAX). As ischemia may lead to direct necrosis, inflammatory processes are further aggravated. In the case of reperfusion, the flow of nascent oxygen will cause additional damage to the cell, further initiating apoptosis in additional surrounding cells. In particular, free oxygen radicals are formed, causing severe damage to cell membranes and desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). However, the increased tissue stress caused by this process may be transient, as radical scavengers may attenuate the damage. Taking the above into final consideration, it is clearly elucidated that acute ischemia and subsequent reperfusion is a process that leads to acute tissue damage combined with end-organ loss of function, a condition that is difficult to counteract.

Abstract
Aims Compartment syndrome results from increased intra-compartmental pressure (ICP) causing local tissue ischaemia and cell death, but the systemic effects are not well described. We hypothesised that compartment syndrome would have a profound effect not only on the affected limb, but also on remote organs. Methods Using a rat model of compartment syndrome, its systemic effects on the viability of hepatocytes and on inflammation and circulation were directly visualised using intravital video microscopy. Results We found that hepatocellular injury was significantly higher in the compartment syndrome group (192 PI-labelled cells/10-1 mm3, standard error of the mean (sem) 51) compared with controls (30 PI-labelled cells/10-1 mm3, sem 12, p < 0.01). The number of adherent venular white blood cells was significantly higher for the compartment syndrome group (5 leukocytes/30s/10 000 μm2, sem 1) than controls (0.2 leukocytes/30 s/10 000 μm2, sem 0.2, p < 0.01). Volumetric blood flow was not significantly different between the two groups, although there was an increase in the heterogeneity of perfusion. Conclusions Compartment syndrome can be accompanied by severe systemic inflammation and end organ damage. This study provides evidence of the relationship between compartment syndrome in a limb and systemic inflammation and dysfunction in a remote organ. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2016; 98-B:1132–7.

Abstract
Suitable and reproducible experimental models of translational research in reconstructive surgery that allow in-vivo investigation of diverse molecular and cellular mechanisms are still limited. To this end we created a novel murine model of acute hindlimb ischemia-reperfusion to mimic a microsurgical free flap procedure. Thirty-six C57BL6 mice (n = 6/group) were assigned to one control and five experimental groups (subject to 6, 12, 96, 120 hours and 14 days of reperfusion, respectively) following 4 hours of complete hindlimb ischemia. Ischemia and reperfusion were monitored using Laser-Doppler Flowmetry. Hindlimb tissue components (skin and muscle) were investigated using histopathology, quantitative immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Despite massive initial tissue damage induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury, the structure of the skin component was restored after 96 hours. During the same time, muscle cells were replaced by young myotubes. In addition, initial neuromuscular dysfunction, edema and swelling resolved by day 4. After two weeks, no functional or neuromuscular deficits were detectable. Furthermore, upregulation of VEGF and tissue infiltration with CD34-positive stem cells led to new capillary formation, which peaked with significantly higher values after two weeks. These data indicate that our model is suitable to investigate cellular and molecular tissue alterations from ischemia-reperfusion such as occur during free flap procedures.

Abstract
Remote reperfusion lung injury following skeletal muscle ischemia and reperfusion accounts for high morbidity and mortality. AMP deaminase (AMPD), a key enzyme for nucleotide cycle, has been implicated in the regulation of this phenomenon. However, the function of Ampd2 and Ampd3 subtype has not been elucidated in remote reperfusion rodent lung injury. We utilized AMPD3 and AMPD2-deficient mice. The two types of AMPD-deficient mice and wild-type (WT) littermates were subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury. After 3h bilateral hind-limb ischemia and reperfusion, AMPD3 mRNA, AMPD activity and inosine monophosphate (IMP) increased significantly in WT and AMPD2-deficient mice lungs, while they did not show significant alterations in AMPD3-deficient mice lungs. Genetic inactivation of Ampd3 resulted in markedly accelerated myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity along with exaggerated neutrophils infiltration and hemorrhage in the lungs compared to WT and AMPD2-deficient mice, furthermore, IMP treatment significantly attenuated MPO activity and neutrophils infiltration in WT and the two types of AMPD-deficient mice lungs after 3h reperfusion. These findings demonstrate for the first time in AMP-deficient mice models that AMPD3 plays a critical role in remote reperfusion lung injury via generation of IMP and validate the potential to use IMP into the clinical arena to attenuate remote ischemia-reperfusion lung injury.

Mechanisms of adhesion and subsequent actions of a haematopoietic stem cell line, HPC-7, in the injured murine intestinal microcirculation in vivo. PLoS One 2013; 8:e59150.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) migrate to injured gut, therapeutic success clinically remains poor. This has been partially attributed to limited local HSC recruitment following systemic injection. Identifying site specific adhesive mechanisms underpinning HSC-endothelial interactions may provide important information on how to enhance their recruitment and thus potentially improve therapeutic efficacy. This study determined (i) the integrins and inflammatory cyto/chemokines governing HSC adhesion to injured gut and muscle (ii) whether pre-treating HSCs with these cyto/chemokines enhanced their adhesion and (iii) whether the degree of HSC adhesion influenced their ability to modulate leukocyte recruitment. METHODS Adhesion of HPC-7, a murine HSC line, to ischaemia-reperfused (IR) injured mouse gut or cremaster muscle was monitored intravitally. Critical adhesion molecules were identified by pre-treating HPC-7 with blocking antibodies to CD18 and CD49d. To identify cyto/chemokines capable of recruiting HPC-7, adhesion was monitored following tissue exposure to TNF-α, IL-1β or CXCL12. The effects of pre-treating HPC-7 with these cyto/chemokines on surface integrin expression/clustering, adhesion to ICAM-1/VCAM-1 and recruitment in vivo was also investigated. Endogenous leukocyte adhesion following HPC-7 injection was again determined intravitally. RESULTS IR injury increased HPC-7 adhesion in vivo, with intestinal adhesion dependent upon CD18 and muscle adhesion predominantly relying on CD49d. Only CXCL12 pre-treatment enhanced HPC-7 adhesion within injured gut, likely by increasing CD18 binding to ICAM-1 and/or CD18 surface clustering on HPC-7. Leukocyte adhesion was reduced at 4 hours post-reperfusion, but only when local HPC-7 adhesion was enhanced using CXCL12. CONCLUSION This data provides evidence that site-specific molecular mechanisms govern HPC-7 adhesion to injured tissue. Importantly, we show that HPC-7 adhesion is a modulatable event in IR injury and further demonstrate that adhesion instigated by injury alone is not sufficient for mediating anti-inflammatory effects. Enhancing local HSC presence may therefore be essential to realising their clinical potential.

Abstract
Ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury occurs when tissue is reperfused following a period of ischemia, and results from acute inflammation involving various mechanisms. IR injury can occur following a range of circumstances, ranging from a seemingly minor condition to major trauma. The intense inflammatory response has local as well as systemic effects because of the physiological, biochemical and immunological changes that occur during the ischemic and reperfusion periods. The sequellae of the cellular injury of IR may lead to the loss of organ or limb function, or even death. There are many factors which influence the outcome of these injuries, and it is important for clinicians to understand IR injury in order to minimize patient morbidity and mortality. In this paper, we review the pathophysiology, the effects of IR injury in skeletal muscle, and the associated clinical conditions; compartment syndrome, crush syndrome, and vascular injuries.

Abstract
Trauma represents the leading cause of death among young people in industrialized countries. Recent clinical and experimental studies have brought increasing evidence for activation of the innate immune system in contributing to the pathogenesis of trauma-induced sequelae and adverse outcome. As the "first line of defense", the complement system represents a potent effector arm of innate immunity, and has been implicated in mediating the early posttraumatic inflammatory response. Despite its generic beneficial functions, including pathogen elimination and immediate response to danger signals, complement activation may exert detrimental effects after trauma, in terms of mounting an "innocent bystander" attack on host tissue. Posttraumatic ischemia/reperfusion injuries represent the classic entity of complement-mediated tissue damage, adding to the "antigenic load" by exacerbation of local and systemic inflammation and release of toxic mediators. These pathophysiological sequelae have been shown to sustain the systemic inflammatory response syndrome after major trauma, and can ultimately contribute to remote organ injury and death. Numerous experimental models have been designed in recent years with the aim of mimicking the inflammatory reaction after trauma and to allow the testing of new pharmacological approaches, including the emergent concept of site-targeted complement inhibition. The present review provides an overview on the current understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of complement activation after major trauma, with an emphasis of emerging therapeutic concepts which may provide the rationale for a "bench-to-bedside" approach in the design of future pharmacological strategies.

Abstract
The complement system was discovered a century ago as a potent defense cascade of innate immunity. After its first description, continuous experimental and clinical research was performed, and three canonical pathways of activation were established. Upon activation by traumatic or surgical tissue damage, complement reveals beneficial functions of pathogen and danger defense by sensing and clearing injured cells. However, the latest research efforts have provided a more distinct insight into the complement system and its clinical subsequences. Complement has been shown to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory processes such as sepsis, multiorgan dysfunction, ischemia/reperfusion, cardiovascular diseases and many others. The three well-known activation pathways of the complement system have been challenged by newer findings that demonstrate direct production of central complement effectors (for example, C5a) by serine proteases of the coagulation cascade. In particular, thrombin is capable of producing C5a, which not only plays a decisive role on pathogens and infected/damaged tissues, but also acts systemically. In the case of uncontrolled complement activation, “friendly fire” is generated, resulting in the destruction of healthy host tissue. Therefore, the traditional research that focuses on a mainly positive-acting cascade has now shifted to the negative effects and how tissue damage originated by the activation of the complement can be contained. In a translational approach including structure-function relations of this ancient defense system, this review provides new insights of complement-mediated clinical relevant diseases and the development of complement modulation strategies and current research aspects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CHOP is a C/EBP family transcription factor involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis. Several studies have demonstrated that ischemia reperfusion results in apoptosis. Oxidative stress is central to ischemia reperfusion-induced apoptosis. Taurine protects against lung injury after limb ischemia reperfusion (LIR) through antioxidation. The effects of taurine on ER stress-induced apoptosis have not been well explored, however. We studied the effects of taurine in ER stress-induced apoptosis following LIR. METHODS Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 40) were randomized into 4 groups: (1) a control group, (2) an LIR group, (3) an LIR group treated with taurine, and (4) an LIR group treated with saline. Bilateral hindlimb ischemia was induced by application of a rubber band proximal to the level of the greater trochanters for 4 h. The treatment groups received either taurine (200 mg/kg as a 4% solution in 0.9% saline) or saline alone prior to reperfusion. Following 4h of reperfusion, blood oxygen was analyzed. The animals were killed and plasma and lung tissue were harvested for evaluation. RESULTS Taurine statistically significantly attenuated lung injury following LIR, as shown by reduced malondialdehyde content, reduced cell apoptosis, and expression of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1), and transcriptional activators of the CHOP gene. Furthermore, partial pressure values of oxygen in arterial blood and the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase were higher in the taurine pretreatment group than in the group of rats that underwent LIR alone. INTERPRETATION Our results suggest that taurine attenuates endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis in the lungs of rats after limb ischemia reperfusion.

Abstract
Background Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury contributes to organ dysfunction in a variety of clinical disorders, including myocardial infarction, stroke, organ transplantation, and hemorrhagic shock. Recent investigations have demonstrated that apoptosis as an important mechanism of cell death leading to organ dysfunction following I/R. Intracellular danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) released during cell death can activate cytoprotective responses by engaging receptors of the innate immune system. Methodology/Principal Findings Ischemia was induced in the mouse hind limb by tourniquet or in the heart by coronary artery ligation. Reperfusion injury of skeletal or cardiac muscle was markedly reduced by intraperitoneal or subcutaneous injection of recombinant human (rh)BCL2 protein or rhBCL2-related protein A1 (BCL2A1) (50 ng/g) given prior to ischemia or at the time of reperfusion. The cytoprotective activity of extracellular rhBCL2 or rhBCL2A1 protein was mapped to the BH4 domain, as treatment with a mutant BCL2 protein lacking the BH4 domain was not protective, whereas peptides derived from the BH4 domain of BCL2 or the BH4-like domain of BCL2A1 were. Protection by extracellular rhBCL2 or rhBCL2A1 was associated with a reduction in apoptosis in skeletal and cardiac muscle following I/R, concomitant with increased expression of endogenous mouse BCL2 (mBCL2) protein. Notably, treatment with rhBCL2A1 protein did not protect mice deficient in toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2) or the adaptor protein, myeloid differentiation factor-88 (MyD88). Conclusions/Significance Treatment with cytokine-like doses of rhBCL2 or rhBCL2A1 protein or BH4-domain peptides reduces apoptosis and tissue injury following I/R by a TLR2-MyD88-dependent mechanism. These findings establish a novel extracellular cytoprotective activity of BCL2 BH4-domain proteins as potent cytoprotective DAMPs.

Abstract
Acute renal failure (ARF) is a common morbidity factor among patients in the intensive care unit, reaching an incidence from 3% to 30% depending on the definition of ARF and the population. Although the majority of the patients with ARF are treated with continuous renal replacement therapy, the mortality rate still remains above 50%. The causes of death are primarily extra-renal and include infection, shock, septicemia, and respiratory failure. We wanted to evaluate the cell-mediated inflammatory response of renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and non-renal I/R, in blood and in distant organs. In our study, 80 mice were divided into four groups. The following surgeries were performed on the groups compared: bilateral renal I/R by clamping, unilateral renal ischemia, anesthesia only, and unilateral hind leg I/R. Half of the animals were killed after 2 h and the other half after 24 h. To assess the inflammatory response, we measured myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the organs, and CD 11b and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II-positive cells in the blood. Non-renal I/R elicited the most elevated levels of MPO in extra-renal tissue such as the lungs. There was a trend toward higher MPO levels in the kidney following renal I/R. All kinds of I/R induced an upregulation of the adhesion molecule CD 11b and a downregulation of MHC II. Renal and non-renal I/R induced neutrophil infiltration in distant organs. Renal I/R does not induce a larger cell-mediated inflammatory response in blood and organs than non-renal I/R.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several experiments were designed to determine whether the systemic, postischemic administration of PJ34,which is a poly-adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose polymerase inhibitor, decreased tissue injury and inflammation after hind-limb ischemia reperfusion (I/R). METHODS C57BL6 mouse limbs were subjected to 1.5 h ischemia followed by 24-h reperfusion. The treatment group (PJ) received intraperitoneal PJ34 (30 mg/kg) immediately before reperfusion, as well as 15 min and 2 h into reperfusion. The control group (CG) received lactated Ringer's alone at the same time intervals as PJ34 administration. The skeletal muscle levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2), keratinocyte derived chemokine (KC), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were measured. Quantitative measurement of skeletal muscle tissue injury was assessed by microscopic analysis of fiber injury. RESULTS ATP levels were higher in limbs of PJ versus CG mice (absolute ATP: 4.7 +/- 0.35 vs 2.3 +/- 0.15-ng/mg tissue, P = .002). The levels of MIP-2, KC, and MPO were lower in PJ versus CG mice (MIP-2: 1.4 +/- 0.34 vs 3.67 +/- 0.67-pg/mg protein, P = .014; KC: 4.97 +/- 0.97 vs 12.65 +/- 3.05-pg/mg protein, P = .037; MPO: 46.27 +/- 10.53 vs 107.34 +/- 13.58-ng/mg protein, P = .008). Muscle fiber injury was markedly reduced in PJ versus CG mice (4.25 +/- 1.9% vs 22.68 +/- 3.0% total fibers, P = .0004). CONCLUSION Systemic postischemic administration of PJ34 preserved skeletal muscle energy levels, decreased inflammatory markers, and preserved tissue viability post-I/R. These results support PARP inhibition as a viable treatment for skeletal muscle I/R in a clinically relevant post hoc scenario.

Abstract
Acute limb ischemia is a common medical condition resulting from arterial embolization, in situ thrombosis, trauma, and other causes. The severity of injury is related to the duration of ischemia and the effects of reperfusion. Metabolic consequences of reperfusion injury can be variable, ranging from transient symptoms in the lower extremity to systemic inflammation with multiple organ dysfunction. This article provides an overview of some of the key mediators of reperfusion injury. Additional discussion is focused on the clinical effects of reperfusion in the extremity, as well as the pulmonary, cardiac, and renal organ systems. A better understanding of these processes may result in improved patient outcomes and decreased mortality.

Abstract
Femoral arterial lines are used for continuous monitoring of arterial blood pressure in experimental studies. However, placement of a catheter in the femoral artery could produce acute limb ischemia with associated systemic effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of femoral arterial line insertion on liver function, in a rabbit liver lobar ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) model. Four groups of animals (n = 6 each) were studied: groups 1 and 2 (sham) underwent laparotomy but no liver ischemia. In groups 3 and 4 (I/R), liver lobar ischemia was induced for 60 minutes followed by 7 hours of reperfusion. In groups 1 and 3, the arterial line was placed in the femoral artery whereas in groups 2 and 4 in the ear artery. Liver function was assessed by serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, bile flow, plasma lactate levels, and histology. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM. Alanine aminotransferase activity and lactate levels were significantly higher in the I/R femoral line group compared with the I/R ear line group at 7 hours postreperfusion. Bile production was significantly lower (75 ± 9.6 vs 112 ± 10 μL/min per 100 g liver weight). Histopathology showed more extensive hepatocellular necrosis and neutrophil accumulation in the I/R femoral line group compared with I/R ear line group. The sham femoral group showed liver injury, which was more marked than the ear line group (all P < .05). In conclusion, femoral artery cannulation induces remote liver injury. The use of femoral arterial lines should be avoided in experimental studies concerning liver function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory mediators in postshock mesenteric lymph have been causally linked to systemic polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) priming resulting in acute lung injury (ALI) and multiple organ failure. Earlier human and animal studies demonstrated ALI after lower limb ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. As hemorrhagic shock (HS) is in essence a systemic I/R insult, we postulated that systemic lymph after HS would exhibit PMN priming and this was studied in vitro. METHODS Lymph was collected at intervals from the hind limb of dogs subjected to sham or HS and crystalloid resuscitation. Human PMNs isolated from heparinized blood of normal volunteers were incubated with buffer, sham lymph, or lymph after 120 minutes of shock or resuscitation. PMN priming was indexed by CD11b expression (mean fluorescence intensity), superoxide anion (O2(-)) generation (nanomoles/mg protein), and elastase release (%) after the addition of fMLP (1 micromol). PMNs with buffer served as control. RESULTS PMN priming after exposure to either shock or postshock resuscitation lymph was noted by increased expression of CD11b, superoxide generation, and elastase release after exposure to fMLP. No priming effect was noted with sham lymph. Maximal bioactivity of shock or postresuscitation shock lymph was noted at 2 hours postresuscitation. CONCLUSIONS Exposure with systemic lymph after HS resulted in PMN priming. These results question the unique properties attributed to post-HS lymph from the splanchnic bed in causing PMN priming and ALI after shock. The causal agent(s) for these effects are unclear.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The harmful effects of ischaemia-reperfusion on skeletal muscle during extremity surgery can be diminished by using medications or ischaemic preconditioning METHODS Twenty patients undergoing lower-limb surgery with use of a tourniquet for at least 1 hour were included in the study and randomised into two groups: a control group with only tourniquet application (T group; n=10); and an ischaemic preconditioning plus tourniquet group (IP-T group; n=10). Blood samples were obtained from the femoral vein of the relevant extremity before tourniquet application (baseline), immediately after tourniquet deflation (TD), at 10 minutes after the tourniquet deflation (TD(10min)) in the T group and additionally after ischaemic preconditioning in the IP-T group. Venous blood pH, partial oxygen pressure (P(vO2)), partial carbon dioxide pressure (P(vCO2)), lactate, potassium, sodium and glucose levels were analysed using a blood gas analyser. Plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) level, an index of lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress, was measured. Heart rate, noninvasive mean arterial pressure (MAP) and spontaneous breathing rate (SBR) were recorded at baseline, at TD, and TD(1min), TD(5min) and TD(10min). RESULTS MAP decreased and SBR increased significantly at TD, TD(1min) and TD(5min) compared with baseline, and venous blood TBARS level significantly increased at TD and TD(10min) compared with baseline in the T group (all P<0.05). No significant changes were observed in the IP-T group. Ischaemic preconditioning caused a rise in PvO2 and a decrease in venous blood pH, P(vCO2), and lactate levels, which was significant compared with baseline (P<0.05) CONCLUSION Ischaemic preconditioning attenuates haemodynamic response and lipid peroxidation during lower-extremity surgery with unilateral tourniquet application.

Abstract
Neutrophil serine proteases are granule-associated enzymes known mainly for their function in the intracellular killing of pathogens. Their extracellular release upon neutrophil activation is traditionally regarded as the primary reason for tissue damage at the sites of inflammation. However, studies over the past several years indicate that neutrophil serine proteases may also be key regulators of the inflammatory response. Neutrophil serine proteases specifically process and release chemokines, cytokines, and growth factors, thus modulating their biological activity. In addition, neutrophil serine proteases activate and shed specific cell surface receptors, which can ultimately prolong or terminate cytokine-induced responses. Moreover, it has been proposed that these proteases can impact cell viability through their caspase-like activity and initiate the adaptive immune response by directly activating lymphocytes. In summary, these studies point to neutrophil serine proteases as versatile mediators that fine-tune the local immune response and identify them as potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
We investigated whether simvastatin reduces lung injury caused by ischaemia-reperfusion of the hind limbs in rats. The control group underwent dissection of bilateral femoral arteries; another group (I/R group) underwent ischaemia of bilateral hind limbs for 2 h followed by 3 h reperfusion; and two other groups were pretreated with 5 or 10 mg/kg per day simvastatin for 3 days and then underwent ischaemia-reperfusion. The control and I/R group rats received placebo (water) instead of simvastatin. The lungs of the I/R rats showed marked histopathological changes compared with the other groups. Lung tissue myeloperoxidase, malondialdehyde, neutrophil count and lung injury scores in both simvastatin groups were significantly lower than in the I/R group; 10 mg/kg per day simvastatin significantly reduced lung water content although 5 mg/kg per day did not. Expression of haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protein in lung tissue was significantly greater in the simvastatin groups than in the I/R group. Simvastatin protects against lung injury associated with lower extremity ischaemia-reperfusion by reduction of neutrophil aggregation and oxidative damage, and upregulation of HO-1 expression in the injured lung.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is a common surgical event, with tourniquet use being a recognized cause in orthopedic surgery. Preconditioning is a highly evolutionarily conserved endogenous protective mechanism, but finding a clinically safe, acceptable method of induction has proven difficult. Glutamine, a known inducer of the heat shock protein response, offers pharmacological modulation of injury through clinically acceptable preconditioning. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that glutamine preconditioning protects against tourniquet-induced regional and remote IR injury in a rodent model. ANIMALS AND METHODS 40 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 4 groups: control, IR injury, normal saline-pretreated and IR injury, and glutamine-pretreated and IR injury. Pretreated groups received either normal saline or glutamine by intravenous bolus 24 h before injury. A bilateral hindlimb tourniquet model was used. Blood samples were analyzed, bronchioalveolar lavage (BAL) performed, and skeletal muscle and lung harvested for evaluation. RESULTS The glutamine-pretreated group showed significantly lower muscle myeloperoxidase (MPO) content and creatine kinase levels than the untreated or saline-pretreated injury groups. Lung tissue showed reduced MPO content and a significantly reduced neutrophil count by BAL fluid microscopy. INTERPRETATION These data suggest that preconditioning with glutamine offers local and distant organ protection in the setting of tourniquet-induced IR injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury occurs when a tissue is temporarily deprived of blood supply and the return of the blood supply triggers an intense inflammatory response. Pathologically, increased complement activity can cause substantial damage to blood vessels, tissues and also facilitate leukocyte activation and recruitment following I/R injury. Herein, previously published studies are reported and critically reviewed. METHODS Medline and the World Wide Web were searched and the relevant literature was classified under the following categories: (1) Complement pathways; (2) The complement system and the inflammatory response; (3) Complement in ischemia-reperfusion injuries; and (4) Therapeutic approaches against complement in I/R injuries. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS I/R injury is a common clinical event with the potential to seriously affect, and sometimes kill, the patient and is a potent inducer of complement activation that results in the production of a number of inflammatory mediators. Complement activation leads to the release of biologically active potent inflammatory complement substances including the anaphylatoxins (C3a and C5a) and the cytolytic terminal membrane attack complement complex C5b-9 (MAC). The use of specific complement inhibitors to block complement activation at various levels of the cascade has been shown to prevent or reduce local tissue injury after I/R. Several agents that inhibit all or part of the complement system, such as soluble complement receptor type 1 (sCR1), C1 inhibitor (C1-INH), C5a monoclonal antibodies, a C5a receptor antagonist and soluble CD59 (sCD59) have been shown to reduce I/R injury of various organs. The novel inhibitors of complement products may eventually find wide clinical application because there are no effective drug therapies currently available to treat I/R injuries.

Abstract
The McGivney hemorrhoidal ligator (MHL), a band designed to cause tissue necrosis, is the preferred experimental tool to create hindlimb ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rodents. This report defines and compares the ex vivo band tension exerted by MHL and orthodontic rubber bands (ORBs) along with select in vivo characteristics of I/R. As to method, ex vivo band tension was measured over relevant diameters using a tensiometer. In vivo assessment of murine limb perfusion during ischemia with ORB and MHL was compared using laser Doppler imaging and measurement of wet weight-to-dry weight ratio. Neuromuscular scoring and histological extent of muscle fiber injury after I/R with MHL and ORB were also compared. A dose-response curve, between the duration of ORB-induced I/R with both mitochondrial activity (methyl-thiazol-tetrazolium) or tail perfusion [laser Doppler imaging (LDI)], was generated. As a results, ex vivo measurements showed that ORB exerted significantly less force than the MHL. Despite less tension in ORB, in vivo testing of the ORB confirmed complete ischemia by both LDI and wet weight-to-dry weight ratio. After I/R, caused by ORB, there was significantly less neuromuscular dysfunction. Histological assessment confirmed similar degrees of muscle fiber injury after I/R with either the MHL or ORB. Increasing durations of ischemia created by the ORB followed by reperfusion significantly decreased mitochondrial activity and tail perfusion after 24 h of ischemia. In conclusions, ORB produced similar levels of tissue ischemia in murine models of limb I/R with fewer levels of nonspecific injury. ORB may be the preferred model for selected studies of limb I/R.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia and reperfusion of the skeletal muscle tissue may cause remote lung injury. We aimed to evaluate the protective effect of ischemic preconditioning (IP) on the lung during unilateral lower limb ischemia reperfusion (IR). METHODS Four groups of rats were used in this study: (i) the sham group (sham, n = 6) served as time controls, they remained anesthetized for the whole duration of the study; (ii) the ischemia and reperfusion group (IR, n = 10) underwent 4 h of left lower limb ischemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion; (iii) the ischemic preconditioning group (IP, n = 10), the left lower limbs of rats were exposed to three cycles of IP (10 min of ischemia followed by 10 min of reperfusion); and (iv) the ischemic preconditioning plus ischemia reperfusion group (IP/IR, n = 10) underwent IP followed by IR as in the IP and IR groups. Plasma and tissue samples were taken at the end of the study period for determination of lung tissue myeloperoxidase activity (MPO) and polymorphonuclear leukocyte count (PMNL), histological lung injury score and plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) level. RESULTS PMNL count and MPO activity in the lung tissue, and plasma TBARS level were higher in the IR group compared with other groups while there were no differences between the sham and the IP and between the sham and the IP/IR groups. Histological lung injury score was higher in the IR group than in the IP/IR and sham groups. The plasma TBARS level in the IP group was significantly lower than in the IP/IR group. CONCLUSION IP pretreatment reduces lipid peroxidation and lung injury caused by lower limb IR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Heme oxygenase is the rate-limiting enzyme in the degradation of heme into carbon monoxide, iron, and bilirubin. Recent evidence suggests that the induction of heme oxygenase-1 is associated with potent anti-inflammatory properties. The objectives of this study were to determine the temporal, regional, and cellular distribution of heme oxygenase-1 within the small intestine and its role in modulating remote intestinal leukocyte recruitment following trauma induced by hindlimb ischemia/reperfusion. DESIGN Randomized, controlled, prospective animal study. SETTING Hospital surgical research laboratory. SUBJECTS Male C57BL/6 mice. INTERVENTIONS Mice underwent 1 hr of bilateral hindlimb ischemia, followed by 3, 6, 12, or 24 hrs of reperfusion. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Heme oxygenase-1 messenger RNA, heme oxygenase-1 protein, and heme oxygenase activity were measured using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and spectrophotometric assay, respectively. The jejunum was also exteriorized to quantify the flux of rolling and adherent leukocytes and R-Phycoerythrin conjugated intercellular adhesion molecule-1 monoclonal antibody fluorescence intensity in submucosal postcapillary venules with the use of intravital microscopy. Ischemia/reperfusion led to a significant increase in heme oxygenase-1 messenger RNA in the jejunum and ileum 3 hrs following limb reperfusion, with a subsequent increase in heme oxygenase-1 protein and heme oxygenase activity at 6 hrs. Ischemia/reperfusion also led to a significant 1.4-fold increase in leukocyte rolling, whereas inhibition of heme oxygenase via injection of tin protoporphyrin IX (20 micromol/kg intraperitoneally) resulted in a three-fold increase in leukocyte adhesion, compared with ischemia/reperfusion alone. This increase in adhesion was significantly reduced to baseline in mice treated with intercellular adhesion molecule-1 monoclonal antibody before heme oxygenase inhibition (40 microg/mouse), whereas inhibition of heme oxygenase activity following ischemia/reperfusion also led to a significant increase in R-Phycoerythrin intercellular adhesion molecule-1 monoclonal antibody fluorescence intensity. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that remote trauma induced by hindlimb ischemia/reperfusion leads to an increase in heme oxygenase activity within the small intestine, which modulates intercellular adhesion molecule-1 dependent intestinal leukocyte adhesion.

Abstract
Microvascular dysfunction mediates many of the local and systemic consequences of ischemic-reperfusion (I/R) injury, with a spectrum of changes specific to arterioles, capillaries, and venules. This review discusses the specific changes in the endothelium during I/R injury; describes the differential responses of the various levels of the vasculature including arterioles, capillaries, and venules; and explores mechanisms for remote organ injury. Vascular dysfunction is largely a consequence of changes in the endothelial cells themselves, affecting the integrity of barrier function, cytokine and adhesion molecule expression, and vascular tone. The bioavailability of nitric oxide, an important mediator of vasodilation, is profoundly decreased during the reperfusion period, resulting in impaired vasodilation of arterioles. Release of inflammatory mediators and increased expression of adhesion molecules initiate inflammatory and coagulation cascades that culminate in the occlusion of capillaries, known as the "no-reflow''" phenomenon. In postcapillary venules, the recruitment and transmigration of leukocytes further compromise the integrity of the endothelial barrier and increase the oxidative burden, resulting in leakage and tissue edema. I/R injury can have significant and untoward consequences beyond the affected tissue, with such conditions as systemic inflammatory response syndrome. This review highlights recent progress in understanding of the varied phenomena of vascular dysfunction in I/R injury and some promising advances in the understanding and application of ischemic preconditioning and other potential therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The chemokines keratinocyte-Derived Cytokine (KC) and macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2, murine equivalents of human interleukin 8, have been implicated in remote injury after acute hind limb ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). These studies were designed to determine whether the cytokines responsible for remote tissue injury are also synthesized and accumulate in the ischemic or reperfused hind limb. METHODS B6, 129SF2/J mice were subjected to either 3 hours of unilateral hind limb ischemia alone (IA) or 3 hours of ischemia followed by 4 or 24 hours of reperfusion (I/R). After IA or I/R, experimental and control (nonischemic) contralateral hind limbs were harvested for analysis of protein content, messenger RNA (mRNA), tissue edema, and viability. RESULTS IA did not increase KC or MIP-2 mRNA or protein levels. In contrast, I/R resulted in a 15- and 10-fold increase in KC mRNA after 4 and 24 hours of reperfusion, respectively. KC protein levels were increased 10-fold after 4 hours of reperfusion and 30-fold after 24 hours (vs IA or sham; P < .001). MIP-2 mRNA transiently increased 42-fold after 4 hours of reperfusion but decreased to basal levels after 24 hours of reperfusion. Despite the relative increase in MIP-2 mRNA by 4 hours of reperfusion, significantly increased (8- to 10 fold) MIP-2 protein levels were not detected until 24 hours of reperfusion only in the reperfused limbs. Tissue edema was increased significantly (P < .01) compared with sham after just 4 hours of reperfusion and remained increased at 24 hours. Tissue viability decreased 52% after 4 hours of reperfusion and did not change significantly by 24 hours. CONCLUSIONS Skeletal muscle is a site of significant ongoing chemokine synthesis during reperfusion. The persistent increase in muscle chemokine levels at 24 hours of reperfusion was not associated with increased edema or injury. The role of these chemokines during reperfusion may be further investigated by local or oral administration of chemokines or chemokine receptor antagonists. CLINICAL RELEVANCE I/R injury remains an important clinical problem across a variety of surgical specialties. In the critical care arena, serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines have been useful in predicting the mortality associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome and sepsis. In this article, the data presented indicate that murine skeletal muscle produces potent proinflammatory neutrophil and macrophage chemokines during reperfusion, but not during ischemia. These findings suggest that measurement of tissue and/or serum levels of chemokines during reperfusion may be an important adjunct to predicting tissue injury along with ongoing inflammation during the clinical course of reperfusion injury. Within the vascular system, severe inflammatory responses are usually associated with thrombotic events. New techniques to noninvasively image thrombin activation (by using magnetic resonance imaging) in reperfused limbs may coincide with the pattern of murine skeletal muscle chemokine expression in humans. The data suggest that reperfusion is when chemokine mRNA and protein synthesis increase. Within the time periods studied in these experiments, the chemokine component of the inflammatory response remained in the reperfused, rather than the systemic nonreperfused, tissue. This observation may underestimate the degree of the systemic response to ischemia because the single mouse hind limb represents only 7% of the mouse total body area, whereas the human limb represents nearly 18% of the adult body area. Despite this shortcoming, these data provide potential temporal and quantitative information regarding the location and magnitude of chemokine synthesis in skeletal muscle during reperfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-inflammatory action of Antithrombin III (AT III) is still not well understood in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory action of AT III on remote lung and local skeletal muscle tissue injury in a rat model of bilateral lower limb I/R model. METHODS Bilateral lower limb ischemia and reperfusion were produced by means of tourniquets occlusions and releases, respectively. Three groups of rats were used in this controlled study: sham group (sham, n=3) underwent 5 h of anesthesia only; control group (I/R, n=7) underwent 3 h of bilateral lower limb ischemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion; and AT III pretreated group (I/R-AT III, n=6) underwent the same procedure as the control group, but also received i.v. 250 U kg-1 AT III 30 min before ischemia induction under midazolam and fentanyl anesthesia. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Lung and muscle tissue accumulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) were assessed by measuring tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Histopathological changes in tissues were assessed by PMN counts in the lung, and muscle tissues and by histological lung injury score. Plasma 6-keto prostaglandin F(1alpha) and tumor necrosis factor alpha levels were measured by an enzyme immunoassay technique. Myeloperoxidase activity could not be detected in the muscle tissues of all groups. The lung and muscle tissue PMN counts in the I/R group were significantly higher compared with the I/R-AT III group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Data from the present study provides some evidence that AT III pretreatment attenuates remote lung and local skeletal muscle tissue injury caused by lower limb I/R.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical event with the potential to seriously affect, and sometimes kill, the patient. Interruption of blood supply causes ischemia, which rapidly damages metabolically active tissues. Paradoxically, restoration of blood flow to the ischemic tissues initiates a cascade of pathology that leads to additional cell or tissue injury. I/R is a potent inducer of complement activation that results in the production of a number of inflammatory mediators. The use of specific inhibitors to block complement activation has been shown to prevent local tissue injury after I/R. Clinical and experimental studies in gut, kidney, limb, and liver have shown that I/R results in local activation of the complement system and leads to the production of the complement factors C3a, C5a, and the membrane attack complex. The novel inhibitors of complement products may find wide clinical application because there are no effective drug therapies currently available to treat I/R injuries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A protective role for endogenous heme oxygenase (HO) in the initiation of remote liver injury after limb ischemia/reperfusion has been established. This study expands on our previous work by investigating the role of endogenous HO on hepatocellular injury, hepatocyte death (necrotic and apoptotic), and microvascular perfusion at protracted post-reperfusion times. METHODS Remote liver injury was studied after 1 hour of bilateral hind limb ischemia and 3, 6, or 24 hours of reperfusion in male C57BL6 mice. Inhibition of HO was achieved with the use of chromium mesoporphrin (CrMP). Established intravital videomicroscopy techniques were used to evaluate microvascular perfusion and hepatocyte death. Hepatocellular injury was quantified by serum alanine transaminase. Apoptosis was measured by using DNA laddering, Cell Death ELISA, and caspase-3 activity. RESULTS Although significant perfusion deficits and hepatocellular injury/death occurred after 3 hours, progression of hepatocellular death beyond 6 hours was not observed. A transient increase in apoptosis was observed at 6 hours. By 24 hours, microvascular perfusion was completely restored. This lack of progression correlated with increased HO activity, observed throughout the protocol. Administration of CrMP reduced HO activity to sham nonstressed levels, and caused increased microvascular perfusion deficits, hepatocellular injury, and hepatocyte death over 24 hours. The transient increase in apoptosis was increased in duration and magnitude in CrMP-treated animals. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that endogenous HO activity prevents the progression of remote liver injury after limb ischemia/reperfusion.

Abstract
AIM To compare the effect of open and endovascular repair on renal function. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a prospective, non-randomized study twenty-four abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) treatable with either method were repaired, 15 using endovascular device (ENDO group) and nine with open surgery with infrarenal aortic cross-clamping (OPEN group). All the patients had standardised general anaesthesia, intravascular fluid therapy and monitoring. Renal function tests and cardiovascular measurements were performed at predetermined intervals. RESULTS N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase indexed to urinary creatinine (U-NAG/crea), a sensitive marker of renal proximal tubular damage, increased similarly in both groups at the end of surgery (two-way ANOVA, p < 0.05). No patient developed clinical renal impairment, on the contrary, creatinine clearance was increased, serum cystatin C (a sensitive marker of renal glomerular filtration) and serum creatinine concentration decreased at 24 hours postoperatively (Wilcoxon paired test, p < 0.05). Intraoperative blood loss and the amount of administered crystalloids were higher in the OPEN than in the ENDO group (Mann-Whitney U-test, p < 0.05). The cardiovascular measurements were comparable between the groups. The mean (SD) amount of radio-contrast media given was 3.1 (1.1) ml/kg in the ENDO group. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that endovascular AAA repair does not protect renal proximal tubular function. A temporary renal tubular dysfunction was found both in open and in endovascular AAA repair which did not lead to permanent changes in renal function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether functional alterations in neutrophils and mononuclear leukocytes are a consistent finding in dogs with inflammatory disease. ANIMALS 40 healthy dogs, 30 dogs with nonseptic inflammatory diseases, 25 dogs with septic inflammation, and 8 dogs with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) secondary to sepsis. PROCEDURES Neutrophil size and granularity; expression of cell surface molecules including CD18, CD11b, and mature neutrophil antigen on neutrophils; and major histocompatability antigen class II (MHC class II) expression on monocytes and lymphocytes were evaluated by use of flow cytometry. Neutrophil size and granularity were evaluated by use of forward-angle versus side-angle light scatterplots. Leukocytes were labeled with monoclonal antibodies to quantify surface expression of leukocyte antigens. RESULTS Dogs with septic and nonseptic inflammatory diseases and MODS had an increase in percentage of neutrophils with increased size; dogs with septic inflammation and MODS had a greater percentage of neutrophils with decreased granularity. Dogs with septic and nonseptic inflammation and MODS had a low expression of CD18 and mature neutrophil antigen. Dogs with septic and nonseptic inflammation had an increase in CD11b expression. Monocytes from dogs with septic and nonseptic inflammation and MODS had a low expression of CD18. Monocytes and lymphocytes from dogs with septic and nonseptic inflammation and MODS had a low expression of MHC class II. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Neutrophils from dogs with septic and nonseptic inflammation circulate in an activated state, and some dogs have decreased MHC class II expression. Many dogs with MODS have a compensatory anti-inflammatory response that may compromise their responses to antimicrobials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the activation status of neutrophils in blood samples obtained from horses with naturally occurring colic associated with strangulating obstruction, nonstrangulating obstruction, or inflammatory bowel disease. ANIMALS 30 horses with naturally occurring colic and 30 healthy control horses. PROCEDURE Activation status of neutrophils was determined by assessing the number of neutrophils that could pass through filters with 5-microm pores, cell-surface CD11-CD18 expression, and alterations in size and granularity of neutrophils. RESULTS Horses with impaction or gas colic did not have evidence of activated neutrophils. Horses with inflammatory bowel disease consistently had evidence of activated neutrophils, including decreased leukocyte deformability, increased CD11-CD18 expression, increased neutrophil size, and decreased neutrophil granularity. Horses with strangulating colic had variable results. Of horses with strangulating colic, 7 of 14 had marked changes in filtration pressures, 5 of 14 had increased CD11-CD18 expression, 6 of 14 had changes in neutrophil size, and 5 of 14 had changes in neutrophil granularity. Among horses with strangulating colic, changes in deformability, size, and granularity of neutrophils correlated with an adverse outcome. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Activated neutrophils were detected in all horses with inflammatory bowel disease and a few horses with strangulating colic. Correlation of activated neutrophils with horses that had strangulating colic that died or were euthanatized indicates that activated neutrophils are a negative prognostic indicator. Additional studies are needed to determine whether activated neutrophils contribute directly to the adverse outcome in horses with strangulating colic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The capacity of a potent C5a receptor antagonist to inhibit various parameters of local and remote organ injury following lower limb ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats was investigated. METHODS Rats were subjected to 2 h bilateral hindlimb ischemia and 4 h reperfusion. Drug-treated rats received AcF-[OPdChaWR] (1 mg/kg) iv either 10 min before ischemia or 10 min prior to reperfusion, or orally (10 mg/kg) 30 min prior to ischemia. Levels of circulating creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine and aspartate aminotransferase (ALT/AST), creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), and calcium (Ca(++)) and potassium (K(+)) ions were determined. Other parameters measured included urinary protein levels, muscle edema, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) concentrations in the lung, liver, and muscle along with liver homogenate tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) concentrations.L RESULTS: imb I/R injury was characterized by significant elevations of CK, LDH, ALT, AST, creatinine, BUN, proteinuria, PMNs, serum K(+), muscle edema, organ MPO, and liver homogenate TNF-alpha concentrations, but a significant reduction in serum Ca(2+) concentrations. When rats were treated with AcF-[OPdChaWR], there were significant improvements in all these parameters. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate a pivotal role for C5a in inducing local and remote organ injury and suggest a possible new drug therapeutic category for preventing anticipated tissue injury associated with I/R.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study describes a novel murine method of the Controlled Tension Tourniquet (CTT). The CTT applies a measured circumferential tension to hind limbs using a tourniquet attached to digital strain gauges, and is useful for investigating hind limb ischemia reperfusion (IR). MATERIALS AND METHODS Mice were subjected to 1, 3, or 6 h of unilateral hind limb ischemia followed by either 4 or 24 h of reperfusion. Blood flow in the ischemic, reperfused, and contralateral limbs was monitored using a Laser Doppler Imager. Edema in the IR limbs was documented by changes in the wet weight to dry weight ratio. Myeloperoxidase and tetrazolium based mitochondrial activity assays indicated neutrophil infiltration and tissue viability, respectively. RESULTS During reperfusion following 1, 4, or 6 h, flow stabilized at 100%, 53%, and 23% of baseline levels, respectively. Edema was present all in IR limbs after 4 h of reperfusion, but increased with the duration of ischemia. After 24 h of reperfusion neutrophil infiltration was equivalent in all IR limbs after all intervals of ischemia. After 24 h of reperfusion, tissue viability after 1 h of ischemia was equivalent to sham or contralateral limbs. At 3 or 6 h of ischemia and 24 h reperfusion decreased tissue viability to 40% of sham and contralateral limbs. CONCLUSIONS The CTT provides a reproducible, noninvasive model of acute limb ischemia, which reflects the biochemical indices of microvascular injury, inflammation and flow characteristic of reperfusion injury.

Abstract
C5 is critical in the development of local mucosal damage and inflammation as well as in the development of remote organ injury after mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion (IR). To define the role of C5a in tissue injury, we treated wild-type mice with a cyclic hexapeptide C5a receptor antagonist (C5aRa) and administered recombinant C5a to C5 deficient (C5(-/-)) mice subjected to mesenteric IR. We demonstrate that at 2-h postreperfusion, C5a administered to C5-/- mice during IR induces limited intestinal mucosal injury but failed to cause remote lung injury despite the fact that it upregulated adhesion molecule expression. C5aRa treatment of C5+/+ mice undergoing IR limited local injury and prevented distant organ injury. We conclude that although C5a can trigger certain components of the IR induced injury, other mediators such as C5b-9 and local factors are needed for the complete expression of IR tissue damage.

Abstract
Traumatic shock is one of the major fields in forensic pathology, but its mechanism remains elusive from the pathophysiological aspects. Tourniquet shock has been established as one of the animal models of traumatic shock, and we examined the gene expression of cytokines and chemokines in the lung and liver in tourniquet shock using mice. Tourniquet was conducted by the application of elastic bands with five turns at both the thighs as high as possible for 2 h, followed by reperfusion. In this procedure, more than 90% mice died within 48 h after reperfusion. Serum hepatic transaminase and hematocrit values significantly increased at 2 h after reperfusion, and their elevation was still evident after 10 h. Histopathologically, hemorrhages, congestion and leukocyte recruitment were observed in the lung and liver specimens after 6 h of reperfusion. Immunohistochemical analysis with anti-myeloperoxidase antibody demonstrated a massive neutrophil infiltration in the lung and liver at 2 h or more after reperfusion. RT-PCR analyses demonstrated that the gene expression of interleukin-1beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, monocytes chemoattractant protein-1, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, MIP-2, KC and vascular endothelial adhesion molecule-1 was most enhanced in the lung and liver at 2 h after reperfusion. Thus, the gene expression of cytokines and chemokines is presumed to be closely related with the onset of tourniquet shock. From the forensic aspects, these cytokines and chemokines are considered to be useful markers for the early diagnosis of tourniquet shock.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity is essential for remodeling of ischemic tissue. The murine hindlimb ischemia model exhibits tissue remodeling including revascularization in part due to angiogenesis. MMP-2 and -9 are type IV collagenases necessary for basement membrane degradation as a part of extracellular matrix remodeling and angiogenesis. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) contain MMP-9, and in the presence of membrane type 1 (MT1)-MMP, are able to activate proMMP-2 in vitro. Activation of MMP-2 and -9 may be essential in ischemic limbs both for tissue remodeling and revascularization via angiogenesis. We hypothesized that MMP-2 and -9 would be activated following acute hindlimb ischemia (HI), and this activation would be temporally related to PMN infiltration. DESIGN OF STUDY HI was achieved by unilateral femoral artery ligation in 20 FVB/N mice. Five mice underwent sham operation without hindlimb ischemia. Gastrocnemius muscle was harvested from both hindlimbs at 1, 3, 14, and 30 days following ligation and assayed for MMP-2, -9 (gelatin zymography), and MT1-MMP (Western blotting). MMP-2 and -9 expression and activation were analyzed by gelatin zymography and quantified by densitometry with NIH Image Analysis software. Neutrophils per high power field were counted. The results were expressed as a ratio of ischemic to nonischemic limbs and compared at each time point using ANOVA. RESULTS Zymographic analysis revealed a 212% increase in active MMP-2 3 days postligation (P <.05). Active MMP-9 reached its maximum level (800% over baseline) on postoperative day 3 and continued to be elevated on day 14 (737% over baseline) (P <.05). The increase in active MMP-2 and -9 levels paralleled PMN infiltration that also peaked 3 days postligation (1184% over baseline) (P <.05). PMN count, MMP-2, and -9 all returned to baseline levels by postoperative Day 30. MT1-MMP was present in tissue samples from all time points as confirmed by Western blot. CONCLUSIONS Limb ischemia causes an early activation of MMP-2 and -9 in temporal relation to PMN infiltration. HI may prime PMNs, leading to their sequestration in ischemic tissue. Primed PMNs, along with constitutively expressed MT1-MMP, may activate MMPs-2 and -9 and enable tissue remodeling essential for limb revascularization and angiogenesis.

Abstract
We investigated kidney and lung alterations caused by intercellular adhesion molecule type 1 (ICAM-1) blockade after ischemia and reperfusion of hind limb skeletal muscles. Rats were submitted to ligature of the infrarenal aorta for 6 h. The animals were randomized into three groups of 6 rats each: group I, sacrificed after ischemia; group II, reperfusion for 24 h, and group III, reperfusion for 24 h after receiving monoclonal anti-ICAM-1 antibodies. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were collected for creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, potassium, pH and leukocyte counts. Samples were taken from the muscles of the hind limbs and from the kidneys and lungs for histological analysis and measurement of the neutrophil infiltrate by myeloperoxidase staining. The groups did not differ significantly with regard to the laboratory tests. There were no major histological alterations in the kidneys. An intense neutrophil infiltrate in the lungs, similar in all groups, was detected. Myeloperoxidase determination showed that after reperfusion there was significantly less retention of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in the muscles (352 +/- 70 vs 1451 +/- 235 x 10(2) neutrophils/mg; P<0.01) and in the kidneys (526 +/- 89 vs 852 +/- 73 10(2) neutrophils/mg; P<0.01) of the animals that received anti-ICAM-1 before perfusion compared to the group that did not. The use of anti-ICAM-1 antibodies in this experimental model minimized neutrophil influx, thus reducing the inflammatory process, in the muscles and kidneys after ischemia and reperfusion of the hind limbs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The outcome of severe acute pancreatitis has scarcely improved in 10 years. Further impact will require new paradigms in pathophysiology and treatment. There is accumulating evidence to support the concept that the intestine has a key role in the pathophysiology of severe acute pancreatitis which goes beyond the notion of secondary pancreatic infection. Intestinal ischaemia and reperfusion and barrier failure are implicated in the development of multiple organ failure. DISCUSSION Conventional management of severe acute pancreatitis has tended to ignore the intestine. More recent attempts to rectify this problem have included 1) resuscitation aimed at restoring intestinal blood flow through the use of appropriate fluids and splanchnic-sparing vasoconstrictors or inotropes; 2) enteral nutrition to help maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier; 3) selective gut decontamination and prophylactic antibiotics to reduce bacterial translocation and secondary infection. Novel therapies are being developed to limit intestinal injury, and these include antioxidants and anti-cytokine agents. This paper focuses on the role of the intestine in the pathogenesis of severe acute pancreatitis and reviews the implications for management.

Abstract
Complement activation is critical in the development of local mucosal damage and inflammation as well as of remote organ injury after mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion. To further define the role of C5 activation in local and remote tissue injury, C5 deficient (C5(-/-)) and wild-type control (C5(+/+)) mice treated with an anti-C5 mAb were subjected to sham or ischemia followed by up to 4 h of reperfusion. The development of local (intestinal) and remote (lung) injury was associated with the expression of CD49d on the surface of circulating blood neutrophils and with VCAM on the endothelial cells of intestinal and lung vessels. Because CD49d heterodimerizes with integrin beta1 on the surface of neutrophils and can bind VCAM on the endothelium, we propose that complement activation causes organ damage by upregulating molecules that lead to inappropriate homing of neutrophils.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Ischaemia–reperfusion (I-R) of the leg is associated with functional and structural changes in the intestine. This study assessed whether acute hind-limb I-R in rats induced a reduction in perfusion and/or signs of an inflammatory response in the intestine.
Methods
Rats were subjected to 2 h of unilateral hind-limb ischaemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion (I-R group, n = 9) or to a sham procedure (control group, n = 9). Mesenteric microvascular diameters, red blood cell velocity, blood flow and leucocyte–vessel wall interactions during reperfusion were measured using intravital microscopy.
Results
Blood pressure and heart rate decreased from 30 min of reperfusion onwards in the I-R group compared with controls. From 15 min after the start of reperfusion, mesenteric arteriolar and venular red blood cell velocity and blood flow decreased by 40–50 per cent. Microvascular diameters and leucocyte–vessel wall interactions did not change.
Conclusion
Restoration of blood flow to an acutely ischaemic hind limb led to a significant decline in the splanchnic microcirculatory blood flow. There were, however, no signs of an early inflammatory response in the gut.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation of equine neutrophils in blood. SAMPLE POPULATION Blood samples from 5 healthy adult Thoroughbreds. PROCEDURES Neutrophil integrin (CD11/CD18) expression, size variation, degranulation, and deformability were measured with and without incubation with LPS. Time and concentration studies were done. The mechanism of endotoxin-induced neutrophil activation was investigated by inactivating complement or preincubating neutrophils with inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) synthesis, prostaglandin-leukotriene synthesis, or platelet-activating factor. RESULTS Incubation of equine neutrophils with LPS increased cell surface expression of CD11/CD18, decreased neutrophil deformability, increased and decreased neutrophil size, and induced neutrophil degranulation. The LPS-induced neutrophil activation was attenuated by addition of inhibitors of TNF-alpha and prostaglandin-leukotriene synthesis. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Equine neutrophils are readily activated in vitro by LPS, resulting in increased expression of integrin adhesion molecules, decreased deformability, variation in neutrophil size, and degranulation. The tests used to detect activated neutrophils in this study may be useful in detecting in vivo neutrophil activation in horses with sepsis and endotoxemia.
