Ischemic preconditioning reduces neurologic injury in a rat model of spinal cord ischemia.

BACKGROUND: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is an endogenous cellular protective mechanism whereby brief, noninjurious periods of ischemia render a tissue more resistant to a subsequent, more prolonged ischemic insult. We hypothesized that IPC of the spinal cord would reduce neurologic injury after experimental aortic occlusion in rats and that this improved neurologic benefit could be induced acutely after a short reperfusion interval separating the IPC and the ischemic insult. METHODS: Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The IPC group (n = 20) had 3 minutes of aortic occlusion to induce spinal cord ischemia 30 minutes of reperfusion, and 12 minutes of ischemia, whereas the controls (n = 20) had only 12 minutes of ischemia. Neurologic function was evaluated 24 and 48 hours later. Some animals from these groups were perfusion-fixed for hematoxylin and eosin staining of the spinal cord for histologic evaluation. RESULTS: Survival was significantly better at 48 hours in the IPC group. Sensory and motor neurologic function were significantly different between groups at 24 and 48 hours. Histologic evaluation at 48 hours showed severe neurologic damage in rats with poor neurologic test scores. CONCLUSIONS: Ischemic preconditioning reduces neurologic injury and improves survival in a rat model of spinal cord ischemia. The protective benefit of IPC is acutely invoked after a 30-minute reperfusion interval between the preconditioning and the ischemic event.

Preconditioning protects against ischemia/reperfusion injury of the liver

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) of an organ may induce protection against the injury caused by longer duration of ischemia and subsequent reperfusion. In a standardized model of such injury in the rat liver, we used the following protocol to investigate whether adenosine played a role in IPC by preventing its enzymatic degradation by dipyridamole pretreatment according to the following protocol: group 1, non-ischemic control rats; group 2, ischemic control rats subjected to 60 minutes of ischemia by clamping of the common hepatic artery followed by 60 minutes of reperfusion; group 3, IPC with 10 minutes of ischemia followed by 15 minutes of reperfusion, prior to the ischemia/reperfusion period as in group 2; group 4, pharmacologic preconditioning with administration of dipyridamole prior to the ischemia/reperfusion period as in group 2. Peripheral liver blood flow was significantly reduced during clamping (groups 2 to 4). After unclamping, blood flow was still reduced in the ischemic rats (group 2) but had returned to preclamp values in the animals that had been subjected to ischemic (group 3) or pharmacologic (group 4) preconditioning. Liver cell injury was significantly increased in the ischemia group (group 2) only. In our experimental model of ischemia/reperfusion injury in the rat liver, we found an equally beneficial effect with ischemic and pharmacologic preconditioning. Adenosine appears to be a crucial factor in IPC.

Does adenosine administration during the early reperfusion period affect ischemic preconditioning?

We hypothesized that the adenosine administration during the early reperfusion period might affect ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and might reduce infarct size and enhance post-ischemic functional recovery. Twenty-four anesthetized rabbits underwent 30 min. normothermic global ischemia with 120 min. reperfusion in a buffer-perfused isolated, paced heart model and divided into four groups. Global ischemic hearts (GI, n = 6) were subjected to 30 min. global ischemia without intervention. Control hearts (n=6) were subjected to perfusion without ischemia. Ischemic preconditioned hearts (IPC, n=6) were subjected to one cycle of 5 min. global ischemia and 5 min. reperfusion prior to global ischemia. IPC + Ado hearts (n=6) received IPC and adenosine administration (100 m mol/L) during 3 min. early reperfusion period. Post-ischemic functional recovery was better in IPC + Ado hearts as compared to GI and IPC hearts, but the effect of post-ischemic functional recovery in IPC + Ado hearts became weaker during 120 min. reperfusion after prolong ischemic insult. Infarct size wre 1.0 ± 0.3% in Control hearts, 32.9 ± 5.1% in GI hearts, 13.8 ± 1.3% in IPC hearts and 8.1 ± 0.9% in IPC + Ado hearts. Infarct size in IPC hearts was significantly decreased (p<0.01) as compared to GI hearts. The reduction rate against myocardial necrosis in IPC + Ado hearts versus GI hearts was higher as compared to IPC hearts versus GI hearts (p<0.001, IPC+Ado hearts vs GI hearts; p<0.01, IPC hearts vs GI hearts; p = ns, IPC + Ado hearts vs Control hearts). These data suggest that adenosine administration during the early reperfusion period reinforce IPC effect and reduce myocardial reperfusion injury. Cardiomyoprotective effects of IPC and exogenous adenosine are exerted during early reperfusion after coronary occlusion in the isolated perfused rabbit hearts.     

Pharmacologic stimulation of adenosine A2 receptor supplants ischemic preconditioning in providing ischemic tolerance in rat livers

BACKGROUND: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a promising strategy for conferring ischemic tolerance. We confirmed the acquisition of ischemic tolerance in the liver immediately after IPC and the role of adenosine kinetics in this process. METHODS: Male Lewis rats were used. IPC was administered with a 10-minute ischemia followed by a 10-minute reperfusion. Ischemic tolerance was tested with a 45-minute ischemia. Changes in the adenosine concentrations in liver tissue were evaluated, and the effects of adenosine A1 or A2 receptor agonists or antagonists were examined either in place of or against IPC. RESULTS: The 7-day animal survival was significantly better in the IPC group than in the control group (87% vs 53%; n = 15, P < .05). The release of liver-related enzymes during reperfusion was suppressed better in the IPC group (P < .01). Recovery of adenosine triphosphate levels was faster in the IPC group (P < .01). After IPC, adenosine concentrations in liver tissue immediately increased to 1555 +/- 299 pmol/g wet tissue and were maintained at that level during a subsequent 45-minute ischemia. The ischemic tolerance generated by IPC was mimicked by the administration of adenosine A2 receptor agonist and opposed by adenosine A2 receptor antagonist. CONCLUSIONS: The ischemic tolerance of the liver immediately after IPC can be supplanted by selective pharmacologic stimulation of adenosine A2 receptors.

Anesthetic preconditioning with sevoflurane does not protect the spinal cord after an ischemic-reperfusion injury in the rat

Anesthetic preconditioning (APC) is a protective mechanism, whereby exposure to a volatile anesthetic renders a tissue resistant to a subsequent ischemic insult. We hypothesized that APC of the rat spinal cord with sevoflurane would reduce neurologic deficit after an ischemic-reperfusion injury. Rats were randomly assigned to 1 of 5 groups. The ischemic preconditioning (IPC) group (n = 14) had 3 min of IPC, 30 min of reperfusion, and 12 min of ischemia. The chronic APC (cSEVO) group (n = 14) had 1 h of APC with 3.5% sevoflurane on each of 2 days before ischemia. The acute APC (aSEVO) group (n = 14) had 1 h of APC with 3.5% sevoflurane followed by a 1-h washout period before the induction of ischemia. The controls (n = 14) underwent no preconditioning before ischemia. IPC attenuated the ischemia-reperfusion injury, whereas aSEVO and cSEVO groups were no better than control animals. Histologic evaluation of the spinal cord showed severe neurologic damage in all groups except for the IPC group and sham-operated rats. APC with sevoflurane did not reduce neurologic injury in a rat model of spinal cord ischemia. Traditional ischemic preconditioning had a strong protective benefit on neurologic outcome.     

Infrainguinal arterial reconstructions with vein grafts in patients with prior aortic procedures: the influence of aneurysm and occlusive disease

PURPOSE: This study assessed whether infrainguinal reconstructions with autogenous vein (IR) performed in patients with prior abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repairs have altered graft patency, compared with those in patients who have undergone prior aortobifemoral bypass grafting procedures (ABF) for aortoiliac occlusive disease. METHODS: From 1979 to 1998, 54 patients with prior aortic reconstructions underwent 64 autogenous single-segment saphenous IRs solely for infrainguinal occlusive disease. Included in this cohort were 30 IRs with an earlier AAA repair and 34 IRs with an earlier ABF repair. During the same period, 1274 patients underwent 1642 autogenous vein lower-extremity bypass grafting procedures (LEB). Lower-extremity native arterial (AAA, n = 6; ABF, n = 11) and vein graft diameters (AAA, n = 6; ABF, n = 6) were determined by means of angiography and duplex ultrasonography, respectively. The three reconstruction groups (AAA, ABF, LEB) were compared. RESULTS: The patients in the three groups were similar in sex, indication for operation, proximal and distal anastomotic site, and number of distal runoff vessels. The cumulative 5-year primary graft patency rate in the AAA group (92% +/- 5%) was significantly higher (P <. 001) than that in the LEB group (63% +/- 2%) and the ABF group (44% +/- 11%). Furthermore, cumulative 5-year primary patency was decreased in the ABF group compared with the LEB group (P =.05). A significant increase in both native arterial (P =.001) and vein graft diameter (P <.05) was demonstrated by using linear regression and a Student t test, respectively, in the AAA group compared with the ABF group. CONCLUSION: These data demonstrate that, compared with those in patients without a previous aortic procedure, IRs in patients with prior AAA repairs have significantly improved graft patency, and IRs in patients with prior ABF reconstructions for aortoiliac occlusive disease have significantly decreased graft patency. Larger arterial diameter and altered vein graft adaptation may contribute to the superior long-term outcomes of IRs in patients with prior AAA repairs.     

Ischemic Preconditioning to Prevent Lethal Ischemic Spinal Cord Injury in a Swine Model

Objective: Paraplegia is a serious complication of thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic operations and is the result of ischemic spinal cord injury induced by low perfusion pressure during cross-clamping of the aorta. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) of the heart or brain with reversible sublethal ischemic injury induces resistance to subsequent lethal ischemia. The aim of this study is to investigate whether ischemic tolerance can be induced by IPC of the spinal cord in a swine model. Study Design: The animals were randomly divided into three groups: the sham group (n = 3), control group (n = 6) and IPC group (n = 8). In the sham group, we performed a left thoracotomy without any ischemic injury. In the IPC group, the swine received a reversible ischemic spinal cord injury by aortic clamping for 20 min, whereas in the control group, no aortic cross-clamping was performed. Forty-eight hours later, the animals in both the IPC and control groups underwent aortic clamping for 30 min. Neurological examination was done 24 h later, and then the animals were euthanized for histopathology and a malonedialdehyde spectrophotometry assay of the spinal cord tissue. Results: A statistically significant difference in neurological outcome was observed between the control and IPC groups at 24 h after ischemic injury. The incidence of paraplegia and severe paresis was 100% in the control group and 62.5% in the IPC group (p =. 028). Between control and IPC groups, there was no statistically significant difference in histopathology and only a borderline statistical difference in the malonedialdehyde assay of the ischemic spinal cord (p =. 0745). Conclusion: In this study, IPC induced protection against a 30-min ischemic insult of the spinal cord, although complete recovery was not achieved (standing up or walking). We expect that combining this IPC with other existing protective methods might lead to a synergistic effect, which warrants further investigation.

Ischemic preconditioning before lower limb ischemia--reperfusion protects against acute lung injury

OBJECTIVE: Prolonged limb ischemia followed by reperfusion (I/R) is associated with a systemic inflammatory response syndrome and remote acute lung injury. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC), achieved with repeated brief periods of I/R before the prolonged ischemic period, has been shown to protect skeletal muscle against ischemic injury. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether IPC of the limb before I/R injury also attenuates systemic inflammation and acute lung injury in a fully resuscitated porcine model of hind limb I/R. METHODS: This prospective, randomized, controlled, experimental animal study was performed in a university-based animal research facility with 18 male Landrace pigs that weighed from 30 to 35 kg. Anesthetized ventilated swine were randomized (n = 6 per group) to three groups: sham-operated control group, I/R group (2 hours of bilateral hind limb ischemia and 2.5 hours of reperfusion), and IPC group (three cycles of 5 minutes of ischemia/5 minutes of reperfusion immediately preceding I/R). Plasma was separated and stored at -70 degrees C for later determination of plasma tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 with bioassay as markers of systemic inflammation. Circulating phagocytic cell priming was assessed with a whole blood chemiluminescence assay. Lung tissue wet-to-dry weight ratio and myeloperoxidase concentration were markers of edema and neutrophil sequestration, respectively. The alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient and pulmonary artery pressure were indices of lung function. RESULTS: In a porcine model, bilateral hind limb (I/R) injury significantly increased plasma interleukin-6 concentrations, circulating phagocytic cell priming, and pulmonary leukosequestration, edema, and impaired gas exchange. Conversely, pigs treated with IPC before the onset of the ischemic period had significantly reduced interleukin-6 levels, circulating phagocytic cell priming, and experienced significantly less pulmonary edema, leukosequestration, and respiratory failure. CONCLUSION: Lower limb IPC protects against systemic inflammation and acute lung injury in lower limb I/R injury.     

Effect of ischemic preconditioning on hepatic microcirculation and function in a rat model of ischemia reperfusion injury

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) may protect the liver from ischemia reperfusion injury by nitric oxide formation. This study has investigated the effect of ischemic preconditioning on hepatic microcirculation (HM), and the relationship between nitric oxide metabolism and HM in preconditioning. Rats were allocated to 5 groups: 1. sham laparotomy; 2. 45 minutes lobar ischemia followed by 2-hour reperfusion (IR); 3. IPC with 5 minutes ischemia and 10 minutes reperfusion before IR; 4. L-arginine before IR; and 5. L-NAME + IPC before IR. HM was monitored by laser Doppler flowmeter. Liver transaminases, adenosine triphosphate, nitrites + nitrates, and guanosine 3'5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) were measured. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) distribution was studied using nicotinamide adeninine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) diaphorase histochemistry. At the end of reperfusion phase, in the IR group, flow in the HM recovered partially to 25.8% of baseline (P < .05 versus sham), whereas IPC improved HM to 49.5% of baseline (P < .01 versus IR). With L-arginine treatment, HM was 31.6% of baseline (NS versus IR), showing no attenuation of liver injury. In the preconditioned group treated with L-NAME, HM declined to 10.2% of baseline, suggesting not only a blockade of the preconditioning effect, but also an exacerbated liver injury. Hepatocellular injury was reduced by IPC, and L-arginine and was increased by NO inhibition with L-NAME. IPC also increased nitrate + nitrate (NOx) and cGMP concentrations. NOS detected by NADPH diaphorase staining was associated with hepatocytes and vascular endothelium, and was induced by IPC. IPC induced NOS and attenuated HM impairment and hepatocellular injury. These data strongly suggest a role for nitric oxide in IPC. (Liver Transpl 2002;8:1182-1191.)     

缺血预适应对缺血-再灌注心肌细胞的保护作用

目的：探讨缺血预处理（IPC）对肝脏缺血再灌注（I/R）损伤中的中性粒细胞和某些细胞因子的影响。方法：采用大鼠部分肝脏原位缺血再灌注损伤模型,30只Wistar大鼠随机分成：①正常对照组;②缺血再灌注对照组;③预处理组。②、③组均在60min再灌注完成后取血及肝组织标本,检测血清AST、ALT、LDH、NO、ET-1、TNF-α、及肝组织中髓过氧化酶（MPO）活性和肝细胞病理改变。结果：预处理组与再灌注对照组比较,肝功明显改善,NO含量升高,ET-1、TNF-α浓度和MPO活性明显降低,两组比较差异具有显著性。结论：缺血预处理对肝脏缺血再灌注损伤有明显保护作用,可能与提高内源性NO水平、减轻中性粒细胞在肝脏中的渗出和聚集、抑制ET-1、TNF-α的合成有关。     

Myocardial protection with postconditioning is not enhanced by ischemic preconditioning

Background

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been used in off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB) to reduce potential injury secondary to ligation of the target vessel. Previous studies have shown that a brief period of repetitive coronary occlusion applied at the onset of reperfusion, postconditioning (postcon), attenuates myocardial injury. This study tested the hypothesis that coincident application of IPC and postcon would provide more cardioprotection than either intervention alone by inhibiting oxidant-mediated injury after ischemia and reperfusion.

Methods

Four groups of open-chest canines endured 60 minutes coronary occlusion followed by 3 hours reperfusion: control (n = 10), no intervention; IPC (n = 9), 5 minutes left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion preceded 10 minutes of reperfusion before prolonged occlusion; postcon (n = 10), 3 cycles of 30 seconds reperfusion-30 seconds reocclusion were imposed immediately upon reperfusion; IPC+postcon (n = 8), IPC and postcon algorithms were combined.

Results

Collateral blood flow during ischemia was similar in all groups. Compared to control (24% ± 2%), infarct size was comparably reduced in IPC (13% ± 2%* [* denotes p less than 0.05 compared with control]), and postcon (10% ± 1%*), consistent with a reduction in plasma creative kinase activity in these groups; infarct size was not further reduced by IPC+postcon (12% ± 3%*). Tissue water content in ischemic myocardium was comparably reduced in IPC, postcon, and IPC+postcon compared to control. Superoxide anion generation detected by dihydroethidium staining in area at risk myocardium was comparably reduced in all intervention groups relative to control. Plasma malondialdehyde (μM), a lipid peroxidation byproduct of oxidant injury, was less at 1 hour of reperfusion in IPC (2.2 ± 0.2*), postcon (2.1 ± 0.2*), and IPC+postcon (2.5 ± 0.2*) relative to control (3.3 ± 0.2). Ventricular fibrillation occurred less often in all intervention groups.

Conclusions

No additive cardioprotective effects by IPC and postcon were observed in a canine model of regional ischemia and reperfusion. The potent attenuation of myocardial injury by postcon may suggest a clinically applicable strategy during some surgical revascularization procedures (ie, OPCAB).
