Pretreatment with sildenafil alleviates early lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in a rat model
Lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury plays an important role in lung transplantation. Less well known is the role of sildenafil in lung I/R injury; therefore, we attempted to determine whether sildenafil could alleviate lung apoptosis and tissue injury in a rat model.Participation of autophagy in lung ischemia–reperfusion injury in vivo
In response to stress, autophagy is activated and may present as a cell survival mechanism or lead to cell death. Although there has been some progress in studying the function of autophagy in the ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury of other organs, little is known about the role autophagy plays in lung I/R injury.Experimental study on the effect of controlled hypotension levels on rabbit CA1 neurons
The present study investigated the effect of controlled hypotension (CH) levels regulated by nitroprusside on hippocampal CA1 neurons.Milk fat globule–EGF factor VIII ameliorates liver injury after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious clinical complication that may compromise liver function because of extensive hepatocyte loss. Therefore, the development of novel and effective therapies for hepatic I/R is critical for the improvement of patient outcome. It has been previously shown that administration of milk fat globule–EGF factor VIII (MFG-E8), a membrane-associated secretory glycoprotein, exerts significant beneficial effects under acute inflammatory conditions through multiple physiological processes associated with tissue remodeling.Ischemic preconditioning reduces transplanted submandibular gland injury
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) can reduce ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in multiple organs and species. However, the effect of IPC on transplanted submandibular glands remains unknown. We explored the protection of IPC in transplanted submandibular glands in the rabbit and the underlying mechanism.
