Abstract
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes are considered the first line of Defence against reactive oxygen species. Among the intracellular isoforms of SOD, Cu,ZnSOD is widely distributed, and the MnSOD is localised in the mitochondria. The SOD activities have been measured indirectly by inhibiting oxidation reactions. Most techniques assessing the hepatic SOD activity are adaptations of classical methods and differ significantly from each other. This work assessed the hepatic Cu,ZnSOD activity in the supernatants of two different centrifugations, using two isotonic medium and the pyrogallol method. In most studies conducted in rat liver, only the Cu,Zn or total SOD activities were assessed and sometimes the Cu,ZnSOD activity was calculated based on the inhibition by cyanide. But, as demonstrated here, this inhibition is not complete. Besides, the novelty of this work is that we presented a method for the evaluating the Cu,ZnSOD and MnSOD activities separately and from the same liver.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A recent study demonstrated that high pressure of carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum before liver resection impairs postoperative liver regeneration. This study was aimed to investigate effects of varying insufflation pressures of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on liver regeneration using a rat model. METHODS 180 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group (without preoperative pneumoperitoneum), low-pressure group (with preoperative pneumoperitoneum at 5 mmHg), and high-pressure group (with preoperative pneumoperitoneum at 10 mmHg). After pneumoperitoneum, all rats were subjected to 70% partial hepatic resection and then euthanized at 0 min, 12 h, and on postoperative days (PODs) 1, 2, 4, and 7. Following outcome parameters were used: liver regeneration (liver regeneration rate, mitotic count, Ki-67 labeling index), hepatocellular damage (serum aminotransferases), oxidative stress [serum malondialdehyde (MDA)], interleukin-6 (IL-6), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) expression in the liver tissue. RESULTS No significant differences were observed for all parameters between control and low-pressure groups. The liver regeneration rate and mitotic count were significantly decreased in the high-pressure group than in control and low-pressure groups on PODs 2 and 4. Postoperative hepatocellular damage was significantly greater in the high-pressure group on PODs 1, 2, 4, and 7 compared with control and/or low-pressure groups. Serum MDA levels were significantly higher in the high-pressure group on PODs 1 and 2, and serum IL-6 levels were significantly higher in the high-pressure group at 12 h and on POD 1, compared with control and/or low-pressure groups. The HGF tissue expression was significantly lower in the high-pressure group at 12 h and on PODs 1 and 4, compared with that in control and/or low-pressure groups. CONCLUSIONS High-pressure pneumoperitoneum before 70% liver resection impairs postoperative liver regeneration, but low-pressure pneumoperitoneum has no adverse effects. This study suggests that following laparoscopic liver resection using appropriate pneumoperitoneum pressure, no impairment of liver regeneration occurs.

Abstract
To investigate the protective effects of protopanaxadiol-type ginsenoside (PDG) and its metabolite ginsenoside M1 (G-M1) on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced chronic liver injury in ICR mice, we carried out conversion of protopanaxadiol-type ginsenosides to ginsenoside M1 using snailase. The optimum time for the conversion was 24 h at a constant pH of 4.5 and an optimum temperature of 50 °C. The transformation products were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography and electrospray ion-mass spectrometry. Subsequently, most of PDG was decomposed and converted into G-M1 by 24 h post-reaction. During the study on hepatoprotective in a mice model of chronic liver injury, PDG or G-M1 supplement significantly ameliorated the CCl4-induced liver lesions, lowered the serum levels of select hepatic enzyme markers (alanine aminotransferase, ALT, and aspartate aminotransferase, AST) and malondialdehyde and increased the activity of superoxide dismutase in liver. Histopathology of the liver tissues showed that PDG and G-M1 attenuated the hepatocellular necrosis and led to reduction of inflammatory cell infiltration. Therefore, the results of this study show that PDG and G-M1 can be proposed to protect the liver against CCl4-induced oxidative injury in mice, and the hepatoprotective effect might be attributed to amelioration of oxidative stress.

Abstract
AIM: To observe the hepatic injury induced by carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum (CDP) in rabbits, compare the effects of low- and high-pressure pneumoperitoneum, and to determine the degree of hepatic injury induced by these two clinically relevant CDP pressures.
METHODS: Thirty healthy male New Zealand rabbits weighing 3.0 to 3.5 kg were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10 for each group) and subjected to the following to CDP pressures: no gas control, 10 mmHg, or 15 mmHg. Histological changes in liver tissues were observed with hematoxylin and eosin staining and transmission electron microscopy. Liver function was evaluated using an automatic biochemical analyzer. Adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) activity in liver tissue was detected with the atractyloside-inhibitor stop technique. Bax and Bcl-2 expression levels were detected by western blotting.
RESULTS: Liver functions in the 10 mmHg and 15 mmHg experimental groups were significantly disturbed compared with the control group. After CDP, the levels of alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase were 77.3 ± 14.5 IU/L and 60.1 ± 11.4 IU/L, respectively, in the 10 mmHg experimental group and 165.1 ± 19.4 IU/L and 103.8 ± 12.3 IU/L, respectively, in the 15 mmHg experimental group, which were all higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). There was no difference in pre-albumin concentration between the 10 mmHg experimental group and the control group, but the pre-albumin level of the 15 mmHg experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in the levels of total bilirubin or albumin among the three groups. After 30 and 60 min of CDP, pH was reduced (P < 0.05) and PaCO2 was elevated (P < 0.05) in the 10 mmHg group compared with controls, and these changes were more pronounced in the 15 mmHg group. Hematoxylin and eosin staining showed no significant change in liver morphology, except for mild hyperemia in the two experimental groups. Transmission electron microscopy showed mild mitochondrial swelling in hepatocytes of the 10 mmHg group, and this was more pronounced in the 15 mmHg group. No significant difference in ANT levels was found between the control and 10 mmHg groups. However, ANT concentration was significantly lower in the 15 mmHg group compared with the control group. The expression of hepatic Bax was significantly increased in the two experimental groups compared with the controls, but there were no differences in Bcl-2 levels among the three groups. Twelve hours after CDP induction, the expression of hepatic Bax was more significant in the 15 mmHg group than in the 10 mmHg group.
CONCLUSION: A CDP pressure of 15 mmHg caused more substantial hepatic injury, such as increased levels of acidosis, mitochondrial damage, and apoptosis; therefore, 10 mmHg CDP is preferable for laparoscopic operations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate changes in plasma oxidative stress markers associated with prolonged pneumoperitoneum during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). METHODS In all, patients of ASA Physical Status II-III who intended to undergo RALP were enrolled in the study. Arterial plasma levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and intramucosal pH were measured 1 minute before and at 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours after the introduction of pneumoperitoneum at an insufflation pressure of 15 mmHg; likewise, they were again measured every 10 minutes after deflation for 60 minutes, at 2 hours and 12 hours after deflation. RESULTS The mean duration of pneumoperitoneum was around 4 hours. After induction of pneumoperitoneum, the MDA concentrations were significantly elevated at various time points as compared with the preinsufflation value. Significant increase of MDA value was noted also 30 minutes after deflation as compared with the pre-deflation levels. The intramucosal pH value decreased significantly after CO(2) insufflation compared with the preinsufflation values. It also increased significantly 2 hours after CO(2) deflation as compared with the pre-deflation values. CONCLUSION A prolonged pneumoperitoneum in RALP results in decreased splanchnic blood flow. Pneumoperitoneum itself produces oxidative stress, and ischemia-reperfusion model after deflation of pneumoperitoneum produces more oxidative stress.

Abstract
Pneumoperitoneum is reported to induce oxidative stress due to the desiccative effect of cold, dry gas insufflation. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of warmed, humidified insufflation to standard gas, by measuring oxidative stress markers in a physiologically relevant animal model. Twenty male Wistar rats (330?650 g) were alternately assigned to the Warm Humidified group (WH, n = 10) and Control group (n = 10). All rats underwent pneumoperitoneum at 5 mmHg and a controlled flow rate for 110 min. The WH group received warmed (37?C) and humidified (98% Relative Humidity (RH)) gas and the control group received standard gas at room temperature (19?C) and 0% RH. At the end of pneumoperitoneum, samples of liver, kidney, pancreas, jejunum, and lung were excised. Levels of plasma and tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyls (PC) were measured. Organ light microscopy was performed. There were no differences between groups for MDA or PC concentrations in plasma, liver, kidney, jejunum, or lung tissue. There were no differences in histological score between groups. Warming and humidification of pneumoperitoneum insufflation gas have no effect on measures of oxidative stress compared to non-warmed, non-humidified controls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The physiology of the patient during laparoscopy differs from that of open surgery. Both pneumoperitoneum and obstructive jaundice impair the hepatic function, but the combined insult has not been previously examined. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) pneumoperitoneum on hepatic function in a rat model of obstructive jaundice. METHODS Forty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: group 1 (n = 10), sham-operated group; group 2 (n = 12), obstructive jaundice group; group 3 (n = 10), CO(2) pneumoperitoneum group; and group 4 (n = 12), obstructive jaundice and CO(2) pneumoperitoneum group. Common bile duct was ligated and divided in the obstructive jaundice groups. After 6 days, a 12-mmHg pneumoperitoneum was induced, maintained for 60 min, and released for 120 min. Blood samples were drawn for the measurement of white blood cell and platelet counts, serum liver enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase [AST], alanine aminotransferase [ALT], total bilirubin). Tissue samples were obtained for analyses of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels. We evaluated the degree of liver injury on a grading scale from 0 to 4, histopathologically. RESULTS Pneumoperitoneum after biliary obstruction resulted in an increase in AST and ALT levels and a decrease in white blood cell and platelet counts. However, changes in liver tissue MDA, GSH, and SOD levels did not correlate with the changes in AST and ALT levels and white blood cell and platelet counts. After sham operation with pneumoperitoneum, the GSH levels in liver homogenate were significantly decreased in the group 3 when compared to the group 2. On the other hand, obstructive jaundice itself caused significant reduction in the SOD activity of liver homogenate in comparison to the group 3. Histopathologically, sinusoidal congestion and vacuolization were more severe in the group 3. CONCLUSIONS Alterations in hepatic function occur in pneumoperitoneum applied jaundiced subjects. However, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups 2 and 4 with regard to white blood cell and platelet counts, serum liver enzymes including AST, ALT, and total bilirubin values, MDA and GSH levels and SOD activity of liver homogenate, and histologic damage. These results indicate that there is no additional risk on liver function associated with pneumoperitoneum performed in obstructive jaundice.
