Bagheri SM, Allahtavakoli M, Hakimizadeh E. Neuroprotective effect of ischemic postconditioning against hyperperfusion and its mechanisms of neuroprotection. JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF ISFAHAN UNIVERSITY OF MEDICAL SCIENCES 2024; 29:31. [PMID: 39239075 PMCID: PMC11376715 DOI: 10.4103/jrms.jrms_341_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2024]
Abstract
Background In recent years, stroke and ischemia-reperfusion injury has motivated researchers to find new ways to reduce the complications. Although reperfusion is essential for brain survival, it is like a double-edged sword that may cause further damage to the brain. Ischemic postconditioning (IPostC) refers to the control of blood flow in postischemia-reperfusion that can reduce ischemia-reperfusion injuries. Materials and Methods Articles were collected by searching for the terms: Ischemic postconditioning and neuroprotective and ischemic postconditioning and hyperperfusion. Suitable articles were collected from electronic databases, including ISI Web of Knowledge, Medline/PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, Scopus, Biological Abstract, Chemical Abstract, and Google Scholar. Results New investigations show that IPostC has protection against hyperperfusion by reducing the amount of blood flow during reperfusion and thus reducing infarction volume, preventing the blood-brain barrier damage, and reducing the rate of apoptosis through the activation of innate protective systems. Numerous mechanisms have been suggested for IPostC, which include reduction of free radical production, apoptosis, inflammatory factors, and activation of endogenous protective pathways. Conclusion It seems that postconditioning can prevent damage to the brain by reducing the flow and blood pressure caused by hyperperfusion. It can protect the brain against damages such as stroke and hyperperfusion by activating various endogenous protection systems. In the present review article, we tried to evaluate both useful aspects of IPostC, neuroprotective effects, and fight against hyperperfusion.

Abstract
Background and purpose The renin-angiotensin system activation, partial ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury, and hypertension contribute to the development of acute kidney injury. The study aims to look at the vascular responses of angiotensin II (Ang II) during Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R) blockade (losartan) or co-blockades of AT1R and Mas receptor (A779) in two kidneys one clip (2K1C) hypertensive rats which subjected to partial IR injury with and without ischemia preconditioning (IPC). Experimental approach Thirty-three 2K1C male Wistar rats with systolic blood pressure ≥ 150 mmHg were divided into three groups of sham, IR, and IPC + IR divided into two sub-groups receiving losartan or losartan + A779. The IR group had 45 min partial kidney ischemia, while the IPC + IR group had two 5 min cycles of partial ischemia followed by 10 min of reperfusion and then 45 min of partial kidney ischemia followed by reperfusion. The sham group was subjected to similar surgical procedures except for IR or IPC. Findings/Results Ang II increased mean arterial pressure in all the groups, but there were no significant differences between the sub-groups. A significant difference was observed in the renal blood flow response to Ang II between two sub-groups of sham and IR groups treated with AT1R blockade alone or co-blockades of AT1R + A779. Conclusion and implications These findings demonstrated the significance of AT1R and Mas receptor following partial renal IR in the renal blood flow responses to Ang II in 2K1C hypertensive rats.

Protective role of remote ischemic conditioning in renal transplantation and partial nephrectomy: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Front Surg 2023; 10:1024650. [PMID: 37091267 PMCID: PMC10113469 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2023.1024650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Studies have shown that remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) can effectively attenuate ischemic-reperfusion injury in the heart and brain, but the effect on ischemic-reperfusion injury in patients with kidney transplantation or partial nephrectomy remains controversial. The main objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate whether RIC provides renal protection after renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing kidney transplantation or partial nephrectomy. Methods A computer-based search was conducted to retrieve relevant publications from the PubMed database, Embase database, Cochrane Library and Web of Science database. We then conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that met our study inclusion criteria. Results Eleven eligible studies included a total of 1,145 patients with kidney transplantation or partial nephrectomy for systematic review and meta-analysis, among whom 576 patients were randomly assigned to the RIC group and the remaining 569 to the control group. The 3-month estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was improved in the RIC group, which was statistically significant between the two groups on kidney transplantation [P < 0.001; mean difference (MD) = 2.74, confidence interval (CI): 1.41 to 4.06; I 2 = 14%], and the 1- and 2-day postoperative Scr levels in the RIC group decreased, which was statistically significant between the two groups on kidney transplantation (1-day postoperative: P < 0.001; MD = 0.10, CI: 0.05 to 0.15, I 2 = 0; 2-day postoperative: P = 0.006; MD = 0.41, CI: 0.12 to 0.70, I 2 = 0), but at other times, there was no significant difference between the two groups in Scr levels. The incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) decreased, but there was no significant difference (P = 0.60; 95% CI: 0.67 to 1.26). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of cross-clamp time, cold ischemia time, warm ischemic time, acute rejection (AR), graft loss or length of hospital stay. Conclusion Our meta-analysis showed that the effect of remote ischemia conditioning on reducing serum creatinine (Scr) and improving estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) seemed to be very weak, and we did not observe a significant protective effect of RIC on renal ischemic-reperfusion. Due to small sample sizes, more studies using stricter inclusion criteria are needed to elucidate the nephroprotective effect of RIC in renal surgery in the future.

Abstract
Hyponatraemia is the most commonly encountered electrolyte abnormality in pregnancy and may be associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Rapid onset, severe hyponatraemia has been reported with proton-pump inhibitor therapy in non-pregnant individuals. Gastro-oesophageal reflux is very common during pregnancy, and proton-pump inhibitors are available without a prescription in many countries. A case of severe maternal hyponatraemia in the setting of recent omeprazole therapy is presented. Health professionals should be aware of this complication given the availability of proton-pump inhibitors without prescription and high rates of gestational gastro-oesophageal reflux.

Renal protective effects and mechanisms of the angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor LCZ696 in mice with cardiorenal syndrome. Life Sci 2021; 280:119692.

Abstract
AIMS This study investigated the renal protective effects and mechanisms of angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor LCZ696 in mice with cardiorenal syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mice were divided into abdominal aortic ligation alone, or treatment with LCZ696 or valsartan, whilst those undergoing sham surgery served as controls. Rat proximal renal tubular epithelial cells from the NRK-52E line were treated with control solution, LCZ696 or valsartan, in the presence or absence of Ang II for 24 h. KEY FINDINGS Compared to controls, abdominal aortic ligation significantly increased plasma NT-proBNP and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), which were associated with reduced renal length and velocity time integral on ultrasonography. Histology revealed wrinkling of the glomerular capillary wall and sclerosis of the glomerulus, dilatation of the Bowman's capsule, accompanied by diffuse renal tubular atrophy and fibrosis, accompanied by lower kidney index and higher percentage area of fibrosis. Increases in NGAL and decreased ANP protein and mRNA expression levels were observed. These abnormalities were significantly prevented by LCZ696 and to a lesser extent by valsartan. Cellular experiments demonstrated a central role of Ang II/transforming growth factor-β1/Smad2/3/connective tissue growth factor-dependent signaling leading to type IV collagen deposition. This upregulation was reversed by LCZ696 in a greater extent than valsartan treatment alone, accompanied by a significant improvement in NGAL. SIGNIFICANCE LCZ696 can reduce kidney injury to a level beyond valsartan therapy alone in mice with cardiorenal syndrome, which can be speculated by effects on epithelial-mesenchymal transition and fibrosis through downregulating the TGF-β1/Smad2/3/CTGF/Collagen IV pathway.

Karimi F, Nematbakhsh M. Mas Receptor Blockade Promotes Renal Vascular Response to Ang II after Partial Kidney Ischemia/Reperfusion in a Two-Kidney-One-Clip Hypertensive Rats Model. Int J Nephrol 2021; 2021:6618061. [PMID: 33986960 PMCID: PMC8079216 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6618061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2020] [Revised: 03/18/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Partial kidney ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is the principal cause of acute kidney injury. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and hypertension also may be influenced by renal IR injury. In two models of partial renal IR with and without ischemia preconditioning (IPC) and using Mas receptor (MasR) blockade, A779 or its vehicle, the renal vascular responses to angiotensin II (Ang II) administration in two-kidney-one-clip (2K1C) hypertensive rats were determined. METHODS Thirty-seven 2K1C male Wistar rats with systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg were randomly divided into three groups; sham, IR, and IPC + IR. The animals in the sham group underwent surgical procedures except partial IR. The rats in the IR group underwent 45 min partial kidney ischemia, and the animals in the IPC + IR group underwent two 5 min cycles of partial kidney ischemia followed by 10 min reperfusion and partial kidney ischemia for 45 min. The renal vascular responses to graded Ang II (30, 100, 300, and 1000 ng kg-1.min-1) infusion using A779 or its vehicle were measured at constant renal perfusion pressure. RESULTS Four weeks after 2K1C implementation, the intravenous infusion of graded Ang II resulted in dose-related increases in mean arterial pressure (MAP) (P dose < 0.0001) that was not different significantly between the groups. No significant differences were detected between the groups in renal blood flow (RBF) or renal vascular resistance (RVR) responses to Ang II infusion when MasR was not blocked. However, by MasR blockade, these responses were increased in IR and IPC + IR groups that were significantly different from the sham group (P < 0.05). For example, infusion of Ang II at dose 1000 ng kg-1.min-1 resulted in decreased RBF percentage change (RBF%) from the baseline to 17.5 ± 1.9%, 39.7 ± 3.8%, and 31.0 ± 3.4% in sham, IR, and IPC + IR, respectively. CONCLUSION These data revealed the important role of MasR after partial kidney IR in the responses of RBF and RVR to Ang II administration in 2K1C hypertensive rats.
