Posztkondicionálás kisérletes vizsgálata vékonybél ischaemiás-reperfusiós modelljében

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The ischemic-reperfusion injury of the intestine, which occurs as a consequence of circulatory redistribution or occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery, is associated with high mortality rates. Postconditioning may reduce ischemic-reperfusion damage in such cases. Effects of this new surgical method were investigated in rats. METHODS: Male Wistar rats underwent 60 minutes of superior mesenteric artery occlusion in four groups: sham-operated, control and two postconditioned groups with different algorithms. Postconditioning was performed immediately at the beginning of reperfusion, by repetitive cycles of reperfusion and reocclusion. 3 cycles of 1 minute and 6 cycles of 10 seconds were applied according to groups. Intestinal microcirculation was followed by laser Doppler flowmetry. Blood and tissue samples were taken after 60 minutes of reperfusion. Histological analayses of the small intestine, measurement of serum necroenzyme levels and IL-6, mesenterial venous blood gas analyses were preformed and antioxidant state of the mucosa was investigated. RESULTS: The microcirculation during the reperfusion showed significant improvement in both postconditioned groups. Histological damage, necroenzyme and IL-6 levels were significantly reduced, while antioxidant state was improved in the postconditioned groups. CONCLUSION: Postconditioning was capable of increasing the guts chance to survive ischemic-reperfusion injury caused by superior mesenteric artery occlusion.
