Abstract
Introduction Ischaemic preconditioning is the most effective method for the prevention of ischaemic-reperfusion injury; however, no study has examined the question of the ideal time for ischaemic preconditioning. Patients and Methods The patients were divided into five groups, each group including of 20 patients. The precondition was applied as 1, 5, 10 and 15 min in Groups I, II, III and IV and Group V was the control group. Repeated blood samples were taken to measure the total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status and oxidative stress index (OSI) values, just before insufflation, at the end of the operation and at 6 and 24 h of the post-operative period. Results A significant difference was observed between the TAS values at the end of the operation and at the sixth post-operative time of the four groups (P = 0.001, 0.000, 0.001, 0.019 and 0.033, respectively). Furthermore, a significant difference was observed between TAS values at the post-operative 24th h of Group III and Group V, and also a significant difference was observed between the OSI values at the post-operative 6th h of Groups III and V. Conclusion The low OSI and TAS values may interpret as a low degree of oxidative damage. The OSI values at the post-operative 6 h of Groups I and II were lower than those of other groups. We accept this result as low oxidative damage.

Ischemic post-conditioning attenuates acute lung injury induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion in mice: role of Nrf2. J Transl Med 2016; 96:1087-104. [PMID: 27501050 DOI: 10.1038/labinvest.2016.87] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2016] [Revised: 07/03/2016] [Accepted: 07/03/2016] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Intestinal ischemic post-conditioning (IPo) protects against lung injury induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IIR) partly through promotion of expression and function of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) is a key transcription factor that interacts with HO-1 and regulates antioxidant defense. However, the role of Nrf2 in IPo protection of IIR-induced pulmonary injury is not completely understood. Here we show that IPo significantly attenuated IIR-induced lung injury and suppressed oxidative stress and systemic inflammatory responses. IPo also increased the expression of both Nrf2 and HO-1. Consistently, the beneficial effects of IPo were abolished by ATRA and Brusatol, potent inhibitors of Nrf2. Moreover, the Nrf2 agonist t-BHQ showed similar activity as IPo. Taken together, our data suggest that Nrf2 activity, along with HO-1, plays an important role in the protective effects of IPo against IIR-induced acute lung injury.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of ischemic preconditioning on mortality, inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress after intestinal ischemia and reperfusion. METHODS Male Wistar rats were allocated according to the period of ischemia with or without ischemic preconditioning which consist on clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 10 minutes followed by reperfusion for 10 minutes before the sustained ischemia period. Mortality was assessed in Phase 1 study, and the CINC-1, CINC-2 and MDA levels in the lungs were analyzed in Phase 2. RESULTS Mortality was lower in the ischemic preconditioning group subjected to 90 minutes of ischemia compared to the group without ischemic preconditioning (I-90: 50% and IPC-90: 15%, p=0.018), and it was lower in the ischemic preconditioning group as a whole compared to the groups without ischemic preconditioning (IPC-14% and I=30%, p=0.006). Lower levels of MDA, CINC-1, and CINC-2 were observed in the animals that were subjected to ischemic preconditioning compared to the animals that were not (MDA: I-45=1.23 nmol/mg protein, and IPC-45=0.62 nmol/mg protein, p=0.0333; CINC-1: I-45=0.82 ng/mL and IPC-45=0.67 ng/mL, p=0.041; CINC-2: I-45=0.52 ng/mL and IPC-45=0.35 ng/mL, p=0.032). CONCLUSION Ischemic preconditioning reduces mortality, inflammatory process and oxidative stress in rats subjected to intestinal ischemia and reperfusion.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a significant problem that is associated with high morbidity and mortality in critical settings. This injury may be ameliorated using postconditioning protocol. In our study, we created a rabbit intestinal I/R injury model to analyze the effects of local ischemia postconditioning (LIPo) and remote ischemia postconditioning (RIPo) on intestinal I/R injury. We concluded that LIPo affords protection in intestinal I/R injury in a comparable fashion with RIPo by decreasing oxidative stress, neutrophil activation, and apoptosis.

Abstract
Metabolomics in systems biology research unravels intracellular metabolic changes by high throughput methods, but such studies focusing on liver transplantation (LT) are limited. Microdialysate samples of liver grafts from donors after circulatory death (DCD; n=13) and brain death (DBD; n=27) during cold storage and post-reperfusion phase were analyzed through coulometric electrochemical array detection (CEAD) for identification of key metabolomics changes. Metabolite peak differences between the graft types at cold phase, post-reperfusion trends, and in failed allografts, were identified against reference chromatograms. In the cold phase, xanthine, uric acid, and kynurenine were overexpressed in DCD by 3-fold, and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acid (HMMA) in DBD by 2-fold (p<0.05). In both grafts, homovanillic acid and methionine increased by 20%-30% with each 100 min increase in cold ischemia time (p<0.05). Uric acid expression was significantly different in DCD post-reperfusion. Failed allografts had overexpression of reduced glutathione and kynurenine (cold phase) and xanthine (post-reperfusion) (p<0.05). This differential expression of metabolites between graft types is a novel finding, meanwhile identification of overexpression of kynurenine in DCD grafts and in failed allografts is unique. Further studies should examine kynurenine as a potential biomarker predicting graft function, its causation, and actions on subsequent clinical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the potential, protective effects of amlodipine in an experimental, ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) model in the rabbit small intestine. MATERIALS AND METHODS The rabbits were divided into four groups: sham-operated, amlodipine (10 mg/kg) + sham-operated, I/R, and I/R + amlodipine (10 mg/kg) groups. An intestinal I/R model was applied to the rabbits. The superior mesenteric artery was occluded for 1 h with an atraumatic vascular clamp and then was reperfused for 2 h. Animals in the amlodipine and I/R + amlodipine groups received the amlodipine by oral gavage. At the end of the 2-h-reperfusion period, the animals were sacrificed. RESULTS Pretreatment with amlodipine significantly increased SOD activity and GSH levels to values close to those found in the serum from the I/R group. Rabbits in the I/R group showed high levels of serum MDA. Amlodipine pretreatment significantly reduced the serum MDA levels compared to the I/R group, although the MDA levels in the I/R + amlodipine group were still higher than in the sham-operated group. The I/R damage was ameliorated by amlodipine pretreatment, as evidenced by histopathological analysis. CONCLUSION The present study is the first to report an attenuation of I/R-induced intestinal injury by the systemic administration of amlodipine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia preconditioning (IPC) has been proved as a powerful method of protecting tissues against ischemia reperfusion insults. We aimed to elucidate the mechanism of IPC in ischemia reperfused tissues. METHODS GSE21164 containing 16 muscle biopsies taken from the operative knee of four IPC-treated patients and four control at the onset of surgery (T¿=¿0) and 1 h into surgery (T¿=¿1) undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between IPC group and control were screened with Limma package in R language. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was performed by the DAVID online tool. Meanwhile, potential regulatory microRNAs (miRNAs) for downregulated DEGs and targets of transcription factors for upregulated DEGs were screened out. Based on the above DEGs, protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed by the STRING software. RESULTS Significantly upregulated DEGs at T1 were mainly enriched in asthma and p53 signaling pathway. Meanwhile, significantly enriched transcriptional factor NOTCH1 at T1 and GABP at T0 were obtained. Moreover, miRNA analysis showed that targets of miR141/200a were enriched in downregulated DEGs both at T0 and T1. Mostly, RPA1 and JAK2 in PPI network at T1 were with higher degree. CONCLUSIONS In our study, obtained DEGs, regulatory transcriptional factors, and miRNA might play a vital role in the protection of ischemia reperfusion injury. This finding will provide a deeper understanding to the mechanism of IPC.

Abstract
OBJETIVO: desenvolver um modelo experimental de isquemia global normotérmica transitória capaz de demonstrar os tempos de isquemia e reperfusão necessários para desenvolvimento de lesão de isquemia/reperfusão em intestinos delgados de ratos Wistar através clampeamento de aorta abdominal suprarrenal. MÉTODOS: Vinte ratos Wistar adultos machos, pesando entre 250 e 350g, foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em cinco grupos, com quatro ratos cada, e submetidos a tempos crescentes de isquemia (0 - 30 - 45 - 60 - 90 minutos). Dentro de cada grupo, à exceção do grupo controle, dois ratos foram submetidos à 60 minutos de reperfusão e dois à 90 minutos. Após os procedimentos, procedeu-se análise histológica através de medição de áreas de necrose. RESULTADOS: O grau de necrose intestinal variou de 15 a 54% (p=0,0004). Houve tendência de aumento progressivo no grau de lesão relacionado ao aumento no tempo de isquemia, contudo, os maiores graus de lesão foram observados nos menores tempos de reperfusão. A análise do coeficiente de variação de necrose entre os dez grupos de isquemia/reperfusão demonstrou diferença estatisticamente significante em 15 postos, sendo 13 relacionados ao grupo controle. CONCLUSÃO: O modelo foi capaz de demonstrar os tempos necessários para que ocorra lesão de isquemia/reperfusão intestinal através de clampeamento aórtico e poderá servir como base para facilitar o desenvolvimento de estudos voltados para a compreensão deste tipo de lesão.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/AIM Our study investigated the effect of ischemic postconditioning (IPO) in intestinal warm ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and autotransplantation models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Warm ischemia was performed by occlusion of superior mesenteric artery for 1, 3 and 6 hours in white domestic pigs (n = 15). Prior to 3 hours reperfusion the intestine was postconditioned by 3 cycles of 30-seconds ischemia and 30-seconds reperfusion (IPO protocol). In the cold ischemia group (n = 15) the bowel was preserved in University of Wisconsin solution for 1, 3, and 6 hours. Prior to 3 hours reperfusion IPO protocol was applied, too. Tissue samples were collected after laparotomy (control) and at the end of the reperfusion periods. As far as oxidative stress markers, malondialdehyde and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were determined. Tissue damage was evaluated by qualitative (Park-classification) and quantitative (Scion Image) methods. RESULTS As regards oxidative stress parameters, lipidperoxidation decreased and the protective effect of endogenous antioxidants (GSH, SOD) retained significantly by IPO procedure at the end of reperfusion. Tissue injury correlated significantly by the duration of warm ischemia and cold preservation. Quantitative analysis demonstrated that IPO ameliorated tissue injury in each group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION IPO significantly attenuated intestinal oxidative stress and morphological damages in warm and cold I/R models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, particularly in the same hospital stay, has been widely recommended to treat gallstone-pancreatitis over the last decade. Although pancreatitis produces severe oxidative injury, laparoscopy exerts an additional effect over that is produced by pancreatitis. The preconditioning phenomenon previously reported as protective in open surgery is a beneficial maneuver also in laparoscopic surgery. So in the present study we have tried to find out the effect of laparoscopic preconditioning over the pancreatitis in cerulein-induced pancreatitis rats. METHODS Acute pancreatitis was induced in 24 rats weighing between 280 and 350 g by three subcutaneous injection of 80 μg/kg of body weight cerulein. A 1-cm midline laparotomy was performed for all rats, and then they were randomly assigned to one of the following three groups (n=8 for each): Group I (control), Group II (laparoscopy), and Group III (laparoscopic preconditioning [L-Pre]). After that, a catheter was placed into the peritoneum for the creation of the pneumoperitoneum (Pp) in all the animals except the control group. The rats of Groups II and III were subjected to 60 minutes of Pp with 15 mm Hg intraabdominal pressure followed by 30 minutes of deflation. The L-Pre procedure was applied to Group III immediately before the laparoscopic procedure. Blood samples were taken for biochemical assays. Pancreas tissue samples were taken for light microscope analysis. RESULTS The light microscopy of the pancreas tissues revealed that cerulein injection caused edema and sparse inflammatory cell infiltration mimicking the edematous pancreatitis. However, the application of laparoscopy over the pancreatitis produced significant inflammatory cell infiltration, acinus vacuolization, and necrosis (in one case) in addition to edema. But, the laparoscopic preconditioning maneuver applied before the laparoscopy significantly decreased in particular acinary vacuolization and cell infiltration. Therefore the total sum of the histopathological score of the L-Pre group was significantly less than that of the laparoscopy group. The biochemical analysis of the groups revealed that laparoscopy caused significant elevation of malondialdehyde levels and decrease of reduced glutathione values. However, the addition of preceding preconditioning produced significant amelioration of these parameters. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic preconditioning may be a useful method to decrease the oxidative injury in cases undergoing cholecystectomy for biliary pancreatitis. But, it should be emphasized that this was a restricted experimental study, and further clinical studies are needed to adopt these results into clinical settings.

Abstract
To test the hypothesis that two modalities of IPC should decrease acute rejection and BT after SBTx in rats. Orthotopic allogenic SBTx was performed from Wistar to BN. IPC was performed by 2 ' and 5 ' superior mesenteric artery clamping, following 2-min and 5-min reperfusion before graft cooling and retrieving. Donor-recipient sets were randomly allocated to five groups: IPC2m4d, IPC2m7d, IPC5min7d, and the control groups for the two end points; ctrl4d and ctrl7d. IRI, rejection, and BT were assessed after four or seven days depending on the groups. Measured variables included: histology, leukocyte activation by tissue MPO determination, and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-b and TNF-α) to assess inflammatory response. Leukocyte activation was significantly reduced in IPC2m7d in comparison with Ctrl and IPC5min7d. Rejection tended to be lower in IPC2min7d. Cytokine levels were contradictory and not consistent with histology. Finally, BT was less frequent in IPC2min4d group but this benefit was missed in animals with rejection (7d). Inflammatory response (MPO) was reduced and rejection tended to be lower after in IPC2m7d. Bacterial translocation was reduced in IPC2min4d but the benefit was missed at day 7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pneumoperitoneum (Pp) induces an ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury as a result of released oxidative stress markers. Ischemic preconditioning (IP) is one of the used methods to reduce the harmful effects of Pp, which is a mechanism for reducing organ I/R injury by a brief period of organ ischemia. The aim of this study was to investigate the ideal time for IP in the laparoscopic model. METHODS Thirty-two rats were assigned into four groups: group 1 (control, n = 8) was subjected to a sham operation. Group 2 (5-minutes IP, n = 8) was subjected to 5 minutes of Pp with 15 mm Hg of pressure followed immediately by 5 minutes of deflation, and after that, 60 minutes of Pp with 15 mm Hg, followed by 60 minutes of deflation. Group 3 (10-minutes IP, n = 8) was subjected to 10 minutes of Pp and 10 minutes of deflation. Group 4 (Pp only, n = 8) was subjected to 60 minutes of Pp with 15 mm Hg of pressure, followed by 60 minutes of deflation. At the end of the experiment, plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) values, the oxidative stress marker, and plasma-reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, the marker showing antioxidant activity, were determined. RESULTS Highest plasma MDA values were in group 4 (Pp only), followed by groups 2 and 3 and group 1 (P = 0.181). In addition, IP groups had almost the same values for MDA. Plasma GSH levels in the control group were significantly higher than those in the IP groups and the Pp-only group (P < 0.001). Similarly, as in MDA levels, no difference was found between plasma GSH levels of the IP 5-minutes and IP 10-minutes groups. CONCLUSIONS Five minutes of the IP model may be as reliable as 10 minutes of the IP model. In that case, 5 minutes of IP can be more suitable in reducing I/R injury in laparoscopy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of the ischemic preconditioning and the ischemic postconditioning over the tissue injury in the intestinal mucosa of rats undergoing the procedure of mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion. METHODS Thirty Wistar rats were studied, divided in three groups: group A, undergoing mesenteric ischemia (30 minutes) and reperfusion (60 minutes); group B, mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion preceded by ischemic preconditioning; group C, mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion and, before the beginning of reperfusion, the ischemic postconditioning was performed. At the end, a segment of the small intestine was dissected for histological analysis. The results were evaluated using the CHIU et al.6 classification followed by the statistic treatment. RESULTS The mean values of the tissue injury levels were: group A, 3.5; group B, 1.2; and group C, 1. The difference between the result of group A with the results of groups B and C was considered statistically significant (p < 0,05). CONCLUSION The ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning are able to minimize the tissue injury in the intestines of rats that underwent the procedure of mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion.

Intestinal preconditioning ameliorates ischemia-reperfusion induced acute lung injury in rats: an experimental study. J Surg Res 2009; 160:294-301. [PMID: 19439321 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2008.12.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2008] [Revised: 11/25/2008] [Accepted: 12/11/2008] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Phospholipases A(2) (PLA(2)) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IIR). Intestinal ischemic preconditioning (IIP) has been shown to improve intestinal tolerance to subsequent sustained ischemia and limit the systemic inflammatory response. We tested the effect of IIP on the intestinal ischemia-reperfusion-induced ARDS, with particular focus on PLA(2). METHODS Rats were randomized into three groups: (1) sham surgery group (sGroup), 45 min sham intestinal ischemia-4 h reperfusion, (2) IIR group (IIRGroup), 45 min intestinal ischemia-4 h reperfusion, (3) IIP group (ipGroup), three cycles of intestinal ischemia for 4 min and reperfusion for 10 min followed by 45 min intestinal ischemia-4 h reperfusion. At the end of each experiment, blood gases were obtained and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) followed. Biochemical (total protein, PLA(2), PAF-AcH) and cytological parameters of the BAL fluid were quantified. Plasma MDA was measured as an indicator of systemic oxidative stress. Comparisons between groups were made using one-way ANOVA followed by post hoc comparison with a Tukey test or Mann-Whitney test when appropriate. Differences were considered significant if P < 0.05. RESULTS Alveolar-arterial O(2) gradient values and wet to dry lung ratio were significantly (P < 0.05) increased in the IIRGroup and this increase was prevented in the ipGroup. Following the same pattern, BAL total protein, PLA(2), and PAF-AcH were significantly lower in the ipGroup. Ischemic preconditioning significantly abolished neutrophil count in BAL fluid. Plasma MDA was significantly lower in the ipGroup. Despite a significant tissue polymorphonuclear reduction, no significant lung or intestinal histologic damage score changes were revealed. CONCLUSIONS Intestinal preconditioning protects IIR-induced lung injury, partly by modulating the arachidonic acid cascade.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Xanthine oxidase (XO) is a cytosolic metalloflavoprotein that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide spectrum of diseases, and is thought to be the most important source of oxygen-free radicals and cell damage during re-oxygenation of hypoxic tissues. Clinical studies have already shown that XO inhibition is safe and effective for the treatment of gout, tumour-lysis syndrome, and to reduce complications such as post-operative arrhythmias, myocardial infarction and mortality in cardiovascular surgery. Here, we review the evidence from two decades of animal studies that have investigated the effects of XO inhibition during intra-abdominal surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search of the Ovid MEDLINE database from 1950 through January 2007 was carried out using the following search terms: xanthine oxidase, allopurinol, ischemia, reperfusion, intestine, bowel, and general surgery. RESULTS The inhibition of XO has been shown to reduce oxidative stress, neutrophil priming, damage to intestinal mucosa due to ischemia reperfusion injuries, intestinal anastomotic dehiscence, bacterial translocation, adhesion formation, distant organ injury and mortality. CONCLUSIONS Despite this evidence which very strongly suggests a likely clinically beneficial role for XO inhibition in the elective and acute operative setting, it is surprising that such an approach has not been investigated in general surgery. There is now sufficient evidence to justify dedicated studies to determine the clinical benefits, dosing and duration of XO inhibition before and after gastrointestinal surgery.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to describe in more detail ischemia reperfusion injury and preconditioning, and to speculate on the potential role of preconditioning in the care of critically ill patients. Current hemodynamic treatment of hypotension and hypoperfusion in critically ill patients is directed at ensuring essential organ perfusion by maintaining intravascular volume and cardiac output, and ensuring adequate oxygen delivery by maintaining arterial oxygen partial pressure and hemoglobin levels. However, morbidity and mortality remain high and new approaches to critically ill patients are required. Treatments are needed that can protect against organ ischemia during periods of low blood flow. In recent years, there has been a growing appreciation of the importance of ischemia reperfusion injury. Ischemia associated with reperfusion may result in greater injury than ischemia alone. Ischemic preconditioning is used to describe the protective effect of short periods of ischemia to an organ or tissue against longer periods of ischemia. Although first described in the myocardium, there is now evidence that this phenomenon occurs in a wide variety of organs and tissues, including the brain and other nervous tissue such as the retina and spinal cord, liver, stomach, intestines, kidney, and the lungs. Preconditioning therapy may offer a new avenue of treatment in critically ill patients. Both traditional preconditioning methods and pharmacologic agents that mimic or induce such preconditioning may be used in the future. Clinical trials of pharmacologic agents are underway in patients with coronary artery disease. Further trials of such methods and agents are needed in critically ill patients suffering from sepsis or multiorgan system failure.

Abstract
Growing number of studies implicate that 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, or statins, have beneficial effects on ischemia/reperfusion injury that are unrelated to their cholesterol-lowering action. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate possible effects of atorvastatin on oxidative stress, neutrophil accumulation, and contractile response of terminal ileum segments in rats subjected to intestinal ischemia/reperfusion. Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion model was generated by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 3 h. Oral administration of atorvastatin at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day lasted 3 days just before induction of intestinal ischemia. At the end of reperfusion period, terminal ileum samples were removed to determine the concentrations of malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione, and myeloperoxidase. Samples were collected also to assess histopathological alterations and contractile response to agonists. Ischemia/reperfusion significantly decreased contractile responses, and this decrease was attenuated by atorvastatin. Pretreatment with atorvastatin caused remarkable decrease in both oxidative stress and neutrophil accumulation. Atorvastatin appeared to be restoring amount of reduced glutathione back to about control level. Furthermore, the pretreatment lowered mucosal damage at histopathological level. Our results suggested that pretreatment with atorvastatin attenuated intestinal muscle dysfunction associated with ischemia/reperfusion. This remarkable effect of atorvastatin is accomplished at least by decreasing oxidative stress and neutrophil accumulation as well as preventing the depletion of reduced glutathione.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a serious clinical condition that triggers a complex inflammatory response. Inflammatory processes affect some enzymatic systems related to intestinal drug metabolism and bioavailability. Diltiazem (DTZ) is a calcium channel blocker, which is extensively metabolised in the intestine by esterases and different CYP450 isoforms. The main biotransformation pathway of DTZ in rats is desacetylation by esterases. This study analysed the effect of I/R on intestinal absorption and metabolism of DTZ, focusing on esterase activity, through different methodologies, after 60 min of superior mesenteric artery occlusion and 30 min of reperfusion or sham surgical procedures. The rate of DTZ appearance in blood during in situ studies increased significantly in the I/R group (0.094+/-0.014 10(-5) cm/s vs 0.271+/-0.110 10(-5) cm/s) and the calculated metabolised fraction of DTZ decreased significantly, showing an important reduction in the desacetylase activity in the I/R group. These results were supported by microsomal incubations, where desacetylase activity was related to esterases by specific inhibition, using paraoxon and bis-nitrophenylphosphate, and also by studies in everted rings. DTZ metabolism was higher in the jejunum than in the ileum, the esterase activity being affected by I/R in both regions. The present findings suggest that I/R injury clearly affects the esterases' activity and modifies the amount of DTZ and its metabolites in blood during in situ perfusion. This modification of intestinal esterase activity could be important for the pharmacokinetic behaviour of other drugs and prodrugs after intestinal pathologies involving inflammation and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Our studies characterized the intestinal microcirculatory changes in canine models of intestinal hypoperfusion (hemorrhagic shock) or ischemia-reperfusion (small bowel autotransplantation). The villus microcirculatory parameters (functional capillary density, mean red blood cell velocity) were observed by intravital microscopy using orthogonal polarization spectral imaging. The leukocyte reaction (rolling and firm adherence) in the mesentery was quantified by using conventional fluorescence videomicroscopy. The investigations were aimed at determining whether the compromised intestinal villus perfusion could be influenced by endothelin-A receptor inhibition, volume resuscitation, or ischemic preconditioning. The results demonstrated the pathophysiological significance of endothelin-A receptor activation in ischemia-reperfusion-induced microcirculatory changes. Second, it was shown that colloid fluid therapy with hydroxyethyl-starch effectively ameliorated the microcirculatory consequences of hypovolemia, which correlated with a lower endothelin release. Third, ischemic preconditioning when applied 60 minutes before ischemia, inhibited the reperfusion-induced superoxide production, improved capillary perfusion, and attenuated leukocyte activation within the intestinal graft. Among the examined therapeutic strategies aimed at improving the outcome of intestinal microcirculatory dysfunction, endothelin-A receptor antagonist pretreatment and ischemic preconditioning are promising tools to decrease the harmful consequences of ischemia/reperfusion.

Abstract
This study investigated the possible protective effects of melatonin as an antioxidant against streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic liver injury in rats. Wistar rats were divided into four groups: untreated control (UC), melatonin-treated control (MC), untreated diabetic (UD), and melatonin-treated diabetic (MD). Experimental diabetes was induced by a single-dose (60 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (ip)) STZ injection, and melatonin was injected (200 microg/kg/day, ip) for 4 weeks. Upon light and electron microscopic examination, we observed that melatonin improved the morphological and histopathological changes of the liver caused by diabetes. Malondialdehyde levels in the liver homogenates of UD rats were higher than those of controls and were markedly reduced after melatonin treatment. Although no significant difference was observed with respect to antioxidant status, the superoxide dismutase activity tended to be higher in the UD rats than in the treated rats. Our findings showed that melatonin administration partially reduced liver injury in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

Abstract
Changes in small molecular antioxidants were followed up in a model of small intestinal ischemia in Wistar rats to evaluate their possible role in ischemic preconditioning. The superior mesenteric artery was occluded either for 60 minutes only or for 60 minutes preceded by one to three 15-minute periods of ischemia with 5-minute reperfusion periods interposed. Total antioxidant capacity (TRAP) in serum, serum antioxidants (uric acid, ascorbic acid, bilirubin), and the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in both serum and mucosa were measured. An increase in TRAP observed after 60 minutes of ischemia was prevented in preconditioned animals. Ascorbic and uric acid concentrations increased generally in comparison to intact controls, but this increase was not sufficient to prevent lipid peroxidation in serum and intestinal mucosa. In short, the small molecular antioxidants measured did not contribute to the phenomenon of ischemic preconditioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury of the intestine occurs commonly during abdominal surgery. Ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) provides a way of protecting the organ from damage inflicted by IR. This study was designed to evaluate the beneficial effect of IPC, focusing on the intestinal microcirculation and oxygenation in intestinal IR injury. METHODS Rats were allocated to three groups. Animals in the IR and IPC groups underwent 30 min of intestinal ischaemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion. In the IPC group this was preceded by 10 min of ischaemia and 10 min of reperfusion. Animals in the third group underwent laparotomy but no vascular occlusion. Intestinal microvascular perfusion, oxygenation and portal venous blood flow (PVF) were monitored continuously. At the end of the reperfusion period, blood samples were obtained for measurement of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and biopsies of ileum for histological evaluation. RESULTS : IPC improved intestinal microvascular perfusion and tissue oxygenation significantly at the end of the reperfusion period (P < 0.001). PVF improved significantly in the IPC compared with the IR group (P = 0.005). The serum LDH concentration was significantly lower in the IPC than the IR group (mean(s.e.m.) 667.1(86.8) versus 1973.8(306.5) U/l; P < 0.001) Histological examination showed that ileal mucosa was significantly less injured in the IPC group. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that IPC improves intestinal microvascular perfusion and oxygenation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ischaemic preconditioning (IP) has emerged as a powerful method of ameliorating ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury to the myocardium. This review investigates whether this phenomenon is universally applicable in modulating I/R injury to other tissues. METHODS A Medline search was conducted to identify both animal and human studies that described IP-induced protection from I/R injury in a variety of non-cardiac organ systems. Particular emphasis was placed on elucidation of underlying physiological concepts. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS IP utilises endogenous mechanisms in skeletal muscle, liver, lung, kidney, intestine and brain in animal models to convey varying degrees of protection from I/R injury. To date there are few human studies, but recent reports suggest that human liver, lung and skeletal muscle acquire similar protection after IP. Specifically, preconditioned tissues exhibit reduced energy requirements, altered energy metabolism, better electrolyte homeostasis and genetic re-organisation, giving rise to the concept of 'ischaemia tolerance'. IP also induces 'reperfusion tolerance' with less reactive oxygen species and activated neutrophils released, reduced apoptosis and better microcirculatory perfusion compared to non-preconditioned tissue. Systemic I/R injury is also diminished by preconditioning. IP is ubiquitous but more research is required to fully translate these findings to the clinical arena.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been defined as short periods of ischemia with intermittent reperfusion. IPC induces two phases of protection. We sought to investigate the effects of classic and delayed preconditioning on oxidative stress markers prior to autotransplantation. Total orthotopic intestinal autotransplantation was performed on 18 mongrel dogs in three groups: group I (GI, nonpreconditioned), group II (GII, classic preconditioned), and group III (GIII, delayed preconditioned). In GI 3-hour cold preservation in University of Wisconsin solution was followed by 1 hour of reperfusion. In GII before this procedure the intestine was preconditioned by occlusion of the mesenteric artery with four cycles each of 5 minutes of ischemia and 10 minutes of reperfusion (IPC protocol). In GIII on day 1 the animals underwent the IPC protocol, and autotransplantation was performed on day 2. Oxidative stress parameters included malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) measurements in tissue samples. Our results showed increased lipid peroxidation with decreased GSH level and SOD activity in GI (control: 254.38 +/- 18.32 IU/g; reperfused: 55.01 +/- 26.40 IU/g; P <.05). In GII MDA was slightly elevated, and the GSH concentration was increased markedly. Furthermore, better preservation of SOD activity was observed at the end of the reperfusion. Meanwhile, in GIII GSH was significantly increased, indicating the activation of the endogenous antioxidant protective system (control: 382.13 +/- 24.22 micromol/L per gram; reperfused: 515.25 +/- 26.36 micromol/L per gram; P <.05). Moreover, SOD surpassed the control activity. Our findings confirmed that both forms of preconditioning mitigate the severity of oxidative stress prior to preservation and autotransplantation. Delayed preconditioning is more effective to protect bowel tissue against oxidative injury.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IP), obtained by exposure to brief periods of vascular occlusion, improves organ tolerance to prolonged ischemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of IP on intestinal morphology. Forty rats were subjected to sham surgery (n = 20, group I) or intestinal preconditioning (n = 20, group II) with a cycle of brief ischemia/reperfusion (10-minute occlusion of superior mesenteric artery [SMA], followed by 10-minute reperfusion) before prolonged ischemia produced by SMA occlusion (45 minutes). Five animals in each group were sacrificed 2, 12, 24, and 48 hours after reperfusion. Intestinal samples were processed for light and electron microscopy. A TUNEL assay was performed to detect apoptosis. Statistical analysis used Student t test and Kaplan-Meier survival curves. The overall mortality for the sham-operated group was 15%, while no animals of group II died (NS). Histological evaluation showed early detachment of epithelial cells from villous stroma accompanied by marked congestion and edema. Successive morphological changes were represented by leukocyte infiltration, focal necrosis, and marked villus denudation or loss. Group II animals showed significantly reduced inflammatory infiltrates in the lamina propria and a greater villus height compared to group I. The maximum number of apoptotic nuclei was observed in both groups, Following 2 hours of reperfusion group II animals showed significantly, greater apoptosis at 2 and 12 hours after reperfusion (P <.05). Electron microscopy showed severe mitochondrial and basement membrane damage. The findings from this study confirm that IP preconditioning attenuates morphological alterations that are invariably present after prolonged ischemia and reperfusion.

Abstract
Preconditioning describes the phenomenon by which a traumatic or stressful stimulus confers protection against subsequent injury. Originally recognized in dog heart subjected to ischemic challenges, preconditioning has been demonstrated in multiple species, can be induced by various stimuli, and is applicable in different organ systems. Tremendous progress has been made elucidating the signal transduction cascade of preconditioning. Preconditioning represents a potent tissue-protective condition, and mechanistic understanding may allow safe clinical application. This review recalls the history of preconditioning and how it relates to the history of the investigation of endogenous adaptation; summarizes the current mechanistic understanding of acute preconditioning; outlines the signal transduction cascade leading to the development of delayed preconditioning; discusses preconditioning in noncardiac tissue; and explores the potential of using preconditioning clinically.

Abstract
This study examined the effect of preconditioning on steatotic livers for transplantation and attempted to identify the underlying protective mechanisms. Blood flow alterations, neutrophil accumulation, tumor necrosis factor alpha release and lipid peroxidation were observed in nonsteatotic livers after transplantation. Steatotic and nonsteatotic liver grafts were similar in their blood flow, neutrophil accumulation, and TNF release after transplantation. However, in the presence of steatosis, lipid peroxidation and hepatic injury increased. In addition, recipients of steatotic liver grafts were more vulnerable to lung damage associated with transplantation. The conversion of xanthine dehydrogenase to xanthine oxidase and the accumulation of xanthine during cold ischemia was greater in steatotic than in nonsteatotic liver grafts. The results obtained with xanthine oxidase inhibitors indicated that xanthine/xanthine oxidase could be responsible for the increased lipid peroxidation as well as the exacerbated liver and lung damage associated with transplantation of steatotic livers. Preconditioning reduced the xanthine accumulation and percentage of xanthine oxidase seen in steatotic liver grafts during cold ischemia, and conferred protection against liver and lung damage following transplantation. The benefits of preconditioning could be mediated by nitric oxide. These findings suggest that preconditioning could be a relevant new strategy to protect against the inherent risk of steatotic liver failure following transplantation.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of ischemic preconditioning upon lesions produced by ischemia-reperfusion of the small intestine. Thirty EPM-1 Wistar rats were randomly distributed into three groups: ischemic preconditioning (IPC; n = 12), ischemia-reperfusion (I/R; n = 12), and control (C; n = 6). Laparotomy permitted isolation of the mesenteric artery for clamping. The animals were heparinized and hydrated. IPC was induced by: 10 minutes of ischemia followed by 10 minutes of reperfusion and then 50 minutes ischemia followed by another 30 minutes reperfusion. Group I/R was submitted to the same protocol except for the 20 minutes of preconditioning. Group C animals underwent only laparotomy for 100 minutes. After reperfusion small intestine fragments were examined histologically. Blood samples were obtained to measure LDH and lactate prior to euthanasia. Lactate values were significantly lower in the IPC as compared to I/R group, 39 versus 67 mg/dL, respectively (P < or =.05). However, neither IPC (grade 3) lesions of the mucosa versus I/R (grade 4) nor LDH values (PCI = 680, I/R = 873 U/L) were statistically different. Thus No morphological evidence of protection was observed following ischemic preconditioning.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning provides a way of protecting organs from damage inflicted with prolonged ischemia-reperfusion. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of ischemic preconditioning involved in inhibition of prolonged ischemia-reperfusion-induced mucosal apoptosis in rat small intestine. Ischemic preconditioning was triggered by a transient occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery followed by reperfusion. Ischemia-reperfusion was induced by 60-min occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery followed by 60-min reperfusion in the small intestine. Ischemia-reperfusion alone induced mucosal apoptosis and mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction via promoted reactive oxygen species generation, reduced mitochondrial glutathione oxidation, increased mitochondrial lipid peroxidation, reduced mitochondrial membrane potential, and enhanced release of cytochrome c from mitochondria to activate caspase-9 and caspase-6 in the small intestine. Pretreatment with 20-min ischemia followed by 5-min reperfusion significantly inhibited the prolonged ischemia-reperfusion-induced mucosal apoptosis by 30%. Ischemic preconditioning ameliorated mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction by 50%, reduced reactive oxygen species generation by 38%, and suppressed mitochondrial lipid peroxidation by 36%, resulting in improvement of the mitochondrial membrane potential and prevention of cytochrome c release as well as caspase-6 activation. Results suggest that ischemic preconditioning attenuated ischemia-reperfusion-induced mucosal apoptosis partly by inhibiting the reactive oxygen species-mediated mitochondria-dependent pathway in the rat small intestine.

Abstract
Recent experimental studies have described protective effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) on ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury of the intestine. We hypothesize that to reach a new point of view on the effect of IPC in intestinal barrier function, the relationship between I/R-induced mucosal injury and apoptosis must first be clarified. The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of IPC on intestinal apoptosis and probable contributions of bcl-2 expression to this process. We also investigated the effect of intestinal IPC on ileal malondyaldihyde levels. Forty-four male Wistar rats were randomized into four groups each consisting of 11 rats: sham-operated control, I/R group (30 min of superior mesenteric artery occlusion), IPC-I/R group (10 min of temporary artery occlusion prior before an ischemic insult of 30 min), and IPC alone group (10 min of preconditioning). Twenty-four hours later, ileum samples were obtained. Ileal malondyaldihyde levels were increased in the I/R group (31.9 +/- 18.8 vs. 106.8 +/- 39.8) but not in the IPC alone and IPC-I/R groups (38.1 +/- 13.6 and 44.7 +/- 12.7; P < 0.01). The number of apoptotic cells was significantly lower in IPC-I/R group than that of I/R group, and these findings were further supported by DNA laddering and M30 findings. Diminished bcl-2 expression observed in the ileal specimens of I/R group was prevented by IPC. Our results indicate that IPC may provide a protective effect on ileal epithelium and that this effect is probably the result of a significant increase in the expression of bcl-2 after the insult. The reversal of apoptosis by IPC might help preserving the vitality of intestinal structures that have a critical function, cessation of which often leads to multiorgan dysfunction syndrome.

Abstract
Fructose-1,6-biphosphate (F16BP) attenuates ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury by inhibiting microvascular leukocyte adhesion or reducing neutrophil-derived oxygen free-radical production, but the causes of this action, the mechanisms in vivo, and the possible implication of nucleoside pool modifications are still controversial issues. We explored whether F16BP's inhibition of free-radical production and neutrophil recruitment is a result of its effect on adenosine (Ado) accumulation during intestinal I/R injury. The effects of F16BP administration were tested on the nucleotide/nucleoside metabolism at the end of the ischemic period and on microvascular neutrophil recruitment and free-radical production after reperfusion in vivo, in the presence or absence of Ado deaminase (ADA). Infusion of F16BP markedly increased endogenous Ado, decreased xanthine accumulation during the ischemic period, and inhibited neutrophil recruitment and subsequent neutrophil free-radical generation during reperfusion. Administration of ADA reversed these processes. The results provide strong evidence that F16BP prevents neutrophil accumulation and neutrophil free-radical generation during intestinal I/R by a key mechanism that modifies the nucleoside pool, leading to an endogenous accumulation of Ado and to a reduction of xanthine during ischemia.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) was first demonstrated in the heart, but this protective effect has been also recently described in the intestine. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of intestinal ischemic preconditioning on the morphology of intestine and bacterial translocation. Twenty-four male Wistar rats weighting 250 to 300 g were randomized into three groups. A control group of rats (n = 8) were subjected laparotomy. In an ischemic group (n = 8), laparotomy was performed and the superior mesenteric artery was occluded by an atraumatic clamp for 30 min. In the preconditioned group (n = 8), before the ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) period (as in ischemic group), rats were subjected to an initial 10 min of intestinal ischemia and 10 min of reperfusion. Twenty-four hours later, to evaluate whether the I/R induced intestinal injury and bacterial translocation (BT), tissue and blood samples were collected, and liver, spleen, and mesenteric lymph node specimens were obtained under sterile conditions for microbiological analysis. Samples of ileum were removed for both biochemical and histopathological evaluation. In the I/R group, the incidence of bacteria-isolated mesenteric lymph nodes, spleen, liver, and blood was significantly higher than other groups (P < 0.05). IPC prevented I/R-induced BT and it significantly reduced the I/R-induced intestinal injury (P < 0.05). Increased inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) expression observed on the ileal specimens of the I/R group was found to be prevented by IPC. Our data suggest IPC as a key factor that reduces BT and iNOS activation in intestinal I/R. This is the first study showing that intestinal IPC blocks the cascade of events that causes BT and intestinal injury that may lead to sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One determining factor in intestinal transplantation is the extreme sensitivity of the small bowel to ischemia-reperfusion injury. This study investigated the effect of ischemic preconditioning prior to autotransplantation. METHODS Total orthotopic intestinal autotransplantation was performed in 40 mongrel dogs. In 4 groups (GI-GIV), grafts were stored for 3 hours in cold Euro Collins (GI,GIII) and University of Wisconsin (GII,GIV) solutions. In GIII and GIV, before preservation, preconditioning was induced by 4 cycles (5-min ischemia + 10-min reperfusion). Bowel samples were collected after laparotomy (control), at the end of preservation and reperfusion periods. We determined oxidative stress markers (reduced glutathione [GSH], superoxide dismutase [SOD]), production of oxygen free radicals, activity of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), and DNA damage. RESULTS In the non-preconditioned groups, GSH concentration increased slightly, while SOD activity decreased significantly during reperfusion. In the preconditioned groups, GSH increased markedly, and better preservation of SOD was observed. The number of oxygen free radicals increased during reperfusion mainly in non-preconditioned groups. Activation of NF-kappaB peaked by 1 hour, and decreased 3 hours after preconditioning. We observed DNA-damaged cells in all groups. CONCLUSIONS Our findings confirm that preconditioning prior to preservation can moderate the severity of oxidative stress and activate the endogenous cellular adaptation in bowel tissue.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether xanthine and adenosine, substances modified proportionally to the duration of ischemia, can determine cell demise (apoptosis/necrosis) during intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and to determine the role of nitric oxide (NO) during this process. The following experimental groups were studied: I, cold ischemia; I+X, effect of xanthine; I+T, effect of adenosine (blocking its receptor by theophylline); I+A, effect of excess adenosine; I+T+X, effect of xanthine alone, and I+T+ spermine NONOate (NONOs), I+A+NONOs, I+X+NONOs, role of NO. DNA fragmentation, xanthine/adenosine levels, caspase-3 activity, NO generation, and histological analysis were measured in tissue samples. The rats treated with xanthine or adenosine showed increased levels of caspase-3 activity and DNA fragmentation. In contrast, theophylline-treated rats showed decreased levels of DNA fragmentation and tended to show lower mean values of caspase-3 activity. Administration of xanthine or NONOs to theophylline-treated rats reversed these effects. The results of histological evaluation were in agreement with these previous results. In conclusion, the present study indicates that xanthine and adenosine induced an apoptotic response during cold ischemic preservation of rat small intestine. In particular, the action of adenosine on apoptotic events was mediated by NO. We consider that identification of the role of these factors may help to define the best conditions of tissue preservation before intestinal transplantation.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion has been implicated in the systemic inflammatory response and organ injury in hemorrhagic shock, but the exact role of the intestine has never been directly demonstrated. Preconditioning (PC) with brief periods of intermittent ischemia is a known potent anti-ischemic intervention and thus can be used as a tool to assess the role of local intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury in systemic inflammatory response. Thus rats were first subjected to sham surgery or intestinal preconditioning with four cycles of 1-min ischemia and 10 min of reperfusion 24 h before hemorrhagic shock followed by resuscitation. PC reduced fluid requirements, lung edema, and lactate and tumor necrosis factor-alpha production. These effects were abolished by the heme-oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inhibitor tin protoporphyrin (Sn-PP). PC induced more than fivefold in intestinal HO-1 expression. These results suggest that intestinal ischemia-reperfusion is a major trigger for inflammatory response and organ injury in nonseptic shock. HO-1 appears to play an important role in the protective effect of intestinal preconditioning.

Abstract
Hepatic steatosis is a major risk factor in ischemia-reperfusion. The present study evaluates whether preconditioning, demonstrated to be effective in normal livers, could also confer protection in the presence of steatosis and investigates the potential underlying protective mechanisms. Fatty rats had increased hepatic injury and decreased survival after 60 minutes of ischemia compared with lean rats. Fatty livers showed a degree of neutrophil accumulation and microcirculatory alterations similar to that of normal livers. However, in presence of steatosis, an increased lipid peroxidation that could be reduced with glutathione-ester pretreatment was observed after hepatic reperfusion. Ischemic preconditioning reduced hepatic injury and increased animal survival. Both in normal and fatty livers, this endogenous protective mechanism was found to control lipid peroxidation, hepatic microcirculation failure, and neutrophil accumulation, reducing the subsequent hepatic injury. These beneficial effects could be mediated by nitric oxide, because the inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis and nitric oxide donor pretreatment abolished and simulated, respectively, the benefits of preconditioning. Thus, ischemic preconditioning could be an effective surgical strategy to reduce the hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in normal and fatty livers under normothermic conditions, including hepatic resections, and liver transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preconditioning protects against both liver and lung damage after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Xanthine and xanthine oxidase (XOD) may contribute to the development of hepatic I/R. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether preconditioning could modulate the injurious effects of xanthine/XOD on the liver and lung after hepatic I/R. METHODS Hepatic I/R or preconditioning previous to I/R was induced in rats. Xanthine and xanthine dehydrogenase/xanthine oxidase (XDH/XOD) in liver and plasma were measured. Hepatic injury and inflammatory response in the lung was evaluated. RESULTS Preconditioning reduced xanthine accumulation and conversion of XDH to XOD in liver during sustained ischemia. This could reduce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from XOD, and therefore, attenuate hepatic I/R injury. Inhibition of XOD prevented postischemic ROS generation and hepatic injury. Administration of xanthine and XOD to preconditioned rats led to hepatic MDA and transaminase levels similar to those found after hepatic I/R. Preconditioning, resulting in low circulating levels of xanthine and XOD activity, reduced neutrophil accumulation, oxidative stress, and microvascular disorders seen in lung after hepatic I/R. Inhibition of XOD attenuated the inflammatory damage in lung after hepatic I/R. Administration of xanthine and XOD abolished the benefits of preconditioning on lung damage. CONCLUSIONS Preconditioning, by blocking the xanthine/XOD pathway for ROS generation, would confer protection against the liver and lung injuries induced by hepatic I/R.

Abstract
A major challenge in improving cardiac arrest survival is organ injury that occurs after the return of spontaneous circulation. This postresuscitation injury may result in as many as 90% of such patients not surviving to hospital discharge. Preconditioning, an adaptive physiologic response found in multiple organs and species, may help protect against such injury of ischemic tissue when reperfused at the return of spontaneous circulation. A better understanding of how preconditioning may alter postresuscitation injury is important for two major reasons. First, it is one of the most protective adaptations currently known in nature that attenuates ischemia-reperfusion injury. Pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic means to quickly trigger and perhaps augment this response have the potential to greatly improve survival from the global ischemia of cardiac arrest. Second, potential targets of preconditioning-such as the adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel and NAD(P)H oxidases-likely play important roles in the postresuscitation phase of cardiac arrest, and their modification may be important components of future treatment for patients with return of spontaneous circulation. The evidence for postresuscitation injury at the cellular level and its modification by preconditioning are discussed.
