Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion injury. The objective of this study was to investigate PMN infiltration and distribution within the gastric mucosa of rats subjected to 30 min gastric ischemia followed by reperfusion. Sections of mucosa were stained for PMN using an immunoperoxidase technique, and injury was assessed by quantitative histology. In control animals, there were 4 +/- 2 PMN/mm2 in the superficial and 9 +/- 4 PMN/mm2 in the deep mucosa. This increased significantly to 67 +/- 9 PMN/mm2 (P < 0.05) and 160 +/- 53 PMN/mm2 (P < 0.01) respectively at 15 min of reperfusion. The percentage of these PMN which were extravasated was 83 +/- 4% in the superficial mucosa and 82 +/- 4% in the deep mucosa (P < 0.001 compared with control levels of 0% in superficial and 10% in deep mucosa). Significant PMN infiltration occurred before full expression of mucosal injury and treatment of rats with anti-PMN antisera blocked reperfusion injury (treated 10.7 +/- 1.4% mucosa damaged, controls 33.5 +/- 2.4%; P < 0.001). Treatment with allopurinol (100 mg/kg) significantly reduced the number of infiltrating PMN (superficial 7 +/- 1/mm2, deep 16 +/- 2/mm2; P < 0.01) and the percentage of extravasating PMN (superficial 40 +/- 10%, deep 30 +/- 15%; P < 0.01) while also significantly reducing tissue injury (21.9 +/- 1.9% mucosa damaged, P < 0.01 compared with controls). We conclude that the immunoperoxidase staining provides a simple means of identifying PMN in histological sections. Furthermore, our results support a role for PMN in gastric ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract The leukocyte adhesion molecule L-selectin mediates neutrophil adhesive interactions with endothelial cells and is in part responsible for neutrophil rolling. We examined the role of L-selectin in ischemia- reperfusion injury of rabbit ears using a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) directed to a functional epitope of L-selectin. Arterial blood flow to the rabbit ear was occluded for six hours with ambient temperature at 23 degrees C to 24 degrees C. Rabbits were treated at reperfusion with saline (n = 8), the L-selectin function-blocking LAM1–3 MoAb (2 mg/kg), or the nonfunction-blocking LAM1–14 MoAb (2 mg/kg). Tissue injury was determined by measuring edema and necrosis. Edema in the LAM1–3 MoAb- treated group (peak = 25 +/- 4 mL) was significantly less (P < .05) than in saline-treated (peak = 40 +/- 8 mL) and LAM1–14 MoAb-treated (peak = 41 +/- 6 mL) groups. Tissue necrosis at 7 days was not observed in the LAM1–3 MoAb-treated group, whereas significant necrosis (P < .05) was seen in the saline- (8% +/- 3% necrosis) and LAM1–14 MoAb- treated (7% +/- 3% necrosis) group. We conclude that blocking L- selectin ameliorates necrosis and edema after ischemia and reperfusion in the rabbit ear, presumably by blocking neutrophil rolling.

Partial nephrectomy (open or minimally invasive) usually requires temporary renal arterial occlusion to limit intraoperative bleeding and improve access to intrarenal structures. This is a time-critical step due to the critical ischemia period of renal tissue. Prolonged renal ischemia may lead to irreversible nephron damage in the remaining tissue and, ultimately, chronic kidney disease. This is potentiated by the incompletely understood ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). A key mechanism in IRI prevention appears to be the upregulation of an intracellular transcription protein, Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF). HIF mediates metabolic adaptation, angiogenesis, erythropoiesis, cell growth, survival, and apoptosis. Upregulating HIF-1α via ischemic preconditioning (IPC) or drugs that simulate hypoxia (hypoxia-mimetics) has been investigated as a method to reduce IRI. While many promising chemical agents have been trialed for the prevention of IRI in small animal studies, all have failed in human trials. The aim of this review is to highlight the techniques and drugs that target HIF-1α and ameliorate IRI associated with renal ischemia. Developing a technique or drug that could reduce the risk of acute kidney injury associated with renal IRI would have an immediate worldwide impact on multisystem surgeries that would otherwise risk ischemic tissue injury.

Objectives. Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury is associated with mucosal damage and has a high rate of mortality. Various beneficial effects of ozone have been shown. The aim of the present study was to show the effects of ozone in ischemia reperfusion model in intestine.Material and Method. Twenty eight Wistar rats were randomized into four groups with seven rats in each group. Control group was administered serum physiologic (SF) intraperitoneally (ip) for five days. Ozone group was administered 1 mg/kg ozone ip for five days. Ischemia Reperfusion (IR) group underwent superior mesenteric artery occlusion for one hour and then reperfusion for two hours. Ozone + IR group was administered 1 mg/kg ozone ip for five days and at sixth day IR model was applied. Rats were anesthetized with ketamine∖xyzlazine and their intracardiac blood was drawn completely and they were sacrificed. Intestinal tissue samples were examined under light microscope. Levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathioneperoxidase (GSH-Px), malondyaldehide (MDA), and protein carbonyl (PCO) were analyzed in tissue samples. Total oxidant status (TOS), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were analyzed in blood samples. Data were evaluated statistically by Kruskal Wallis test.Results. In the ozone administered group, degree of intestinal injury was not different from the control group. IR caused an increase in intestinal injury score. The intestinal epithelium maintained its integrity and decrease in intestinal injury score was detected in Ozone + IR group. SOD, GSH-Px, and CAT values were high in ozone group and low in IR. TOS parameter was highest in the IR group and the TAC parameter was highest in the ozone group and lowest in the IR group.Conclusion. In the present study, IR model caused an increase in intestinal injury.In the present study, ozone administration had an effect improving IR associated tissue injury. In the present study, ozone therapy prevented intestine from ischemia reperfusion injury. It is thought that the therapeutic effect of ozone is associated with increase in antioxidant enzymes and protection of cells from oxidation and inflammation.
