The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cold application on ischemia-reperfusion injury to quadriceps fomoris muscle of the hindlimbs of the rats. Nine weeks old male Sprague-Dawley white rats were divided into three groups : 1) control(only ischemia-reperfusion), 2) cold application before reperfusion(PreCold), 3) cold application after reperfusion(PostCold). All groups were 30 minute, 1 hour, 3 hours reperfusion after 2 hours ischemia with clamping abdominal artery, and investigate superoxide dismutase(SOD) immunohistochemical reaction for quadriceps femoris muscle of right hindlimb. SOD immunohistochemical reaction of experimental groups were more than the control group. Especially, SOD immunohistochemical reaction of PreCold were less than the PostCold.

We investigated whether ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protects liver against cold ischemic injury using isolated perfused rat liver. Rat livers were preconditioned by 5 minutes of ischemia and 5 minutes of reperfusion and preserved for 30 hours at $4^{\circ}C$ in University of Wisconsin solution. Livers were then reperfused for 120 minutes. Oxygen uptake and bile flow in ischemic livers markedly decreased during reperfusion. These decreases were prevented by IPC. Portal pressure was elevated in cold ischemic and reperfused livers and this elevation was prevented by IPC. Lactate dehydrogenase and purine nucleoside phosphorylase activities markedly increased during reperfusion. These increases were prevented by IPC. The ratio of reduced glutathione to glutathione disulfide was lower in ischemic livers. This decrease was prevented by IPe. Our findings suggest that IPC protects the liver against the deleterious effect of cold ischemia/reperfusion, and this protection is associated with the reduced oxidative stress.

The mechanisms of liver injury from cold storage and reperfusion are not completely under-stood. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the inactivation of Kupffer cells (KCs) by gadolinium chloride ($GdCl_3$) modulates ischemia-reperfusion injury in the rat liver. Hepatic function was assessed using an isolated perfused rat liver model. In livers subjected to cold storage at $4^{\circ}C$ in University of Wisconsin solution for 24 hrs and to 20 min rewarm-ing ischemia, oxygen uptake was markedly decreased, Kupffer cell phagocytosis was stimulated, releases of purine nucleoside phosphorylase and lactate dehydrogenase were increased as compared with control livers. Pretreatment of rats with $GdCl_3$) , a selective KC toxicant, suppressed kupffer cell activity, and reduced the grade of hepatic injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion. While the initial mixed function oxidation of 7-ethoxycoumarin was not different from that found in the control livers, the subsequent conjugation of its meta-bolite to sulfate and glucuronide esters was suppressed by ischemia-reperfusion, CdCl$_3$restored sulfation and glucuronidation capacities to the level of the control liver. Our findings suggest that Kupffer cells could play an important role in cold/warm ischemia-reperfusion hepatic injury.

허혈/재관류 손상은 장기이식 분야에서 해결해야 할 주요 문제점으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 대퇴 동,정맥 부위에서 기존의 혈관 문합법 대신 맥관 connector를 이용하여 간단하면서 효과적인 체외 재관류 모델을 개발하였기에 소개하고자 한다. 개발된 모델이 허혈/재관류 손상연구에 효과적인지 알아보기 위해 혈액 동력학적 평가와 신장의 재관류 후 손상 양상을 분석하였다. 기존의 재관류 모델에서 사용되는 문합 부위인 복강 대동맥의 혈압과 본 연구에서 재관류 부위로 활용된 대퇴동맥의 혈압은 유의적 차이가 없었다. 허혈 손상 후 재관류 효과를 알아보기 위해 미니돼지에서 적출한 신장을 HTK 용액에 24, 48시간 동안 각각 저온보관 후 대퇴부에 이식하여 재관류 한 결과, 신장의 재관류까지 수술시간은 평균 $7.0{\pm}1.1$분 소요되었으며, 3시간 재관류 후 재관류 손상 정도는 저온보관시간에 따라 증가되는 것이 확인되었다. 이는 개발된 모델이 맥관 문합 없이 간단한 관류방법이면서도 기존의 복잡한 수술에 의한 재관류 방법과 유사한 손상 모델을 만들 수 있는 효과적인 허혈/재관류 동물모델이라는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발한 신장 재관류 모델은 초기 허혈/재관류 손상 연구와 장기이식에서 이식면역연구에 효과적인 모델이라 사료된다.

Selectin은 조직 염증반응의 초기화에 관여하는 결합 단백질이며, 맥관내피에서 백혈구의 rolling과 tethering을 매개한다. 따라서 selectin inhibitor를 이용하여, 이들 selectin의 수용체인 sLex 에 대한 block을 유도함으로서 염증반응의 초기화를 억제할 수 있다는 가정하에, 본 연구에서는 장기이식 후 reperfusion에서 발생하는 손상에 대한 selectin inhibitor의 효과를 알아보았다. Beagle 견을 사용하여 신장이식을 실시하였다 공여 신장은 60분의 warm ischemia를 유도한 후 UW solution으로 관류하고 24시간동안 냉장보관하여 자가이식하였으며, 반대쪽 신장은 적출하였다. 술 후 7일동안 혈청 creatinine치를 측정하였다 2차실험으로, 12마리의 Beagle견을 사용하여 4시간의 reperfusion 후 조직학적 변화와 myeloperoxidase의 활성을 조사하였다. 각 실험의 대조군은 생리 식염수를,비교군은 TBC1269 (selectin inhibitor)를 신장 적출 전과 신장이식 수술 후 reperfusion 직전에 각각 투여하였다. 혈청 creatinine은 신장이식후 급격히 증가 하였으나, 두군 사이에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 신장피질의 백혈구 침윤은, 4시간 reperfusion후 생리식염수를 투여받은 군에서 2배의 유의적인 증가를 보였다. 그러나, TBC 1269로 처리한 군에서는 백혈구의 침윤이 유의적인 억제를 보였으며, 허혈에의한 조직학적 변화도 유의적으로 적었다. 개의 신장이식 수술에서 Selectin의 차단은 warm renal ischemia에서 기인된 손상을 개선하지는 못하나, 백혈구의 침윤을 억제하므로 delayed graft function과 관련된 술 후 염증반응의 초기화를 억제하는 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

The effects of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion and $\beta$-adrenergic stimulation on metabolic function and energetics were investigated in Lan gendorff-perfused spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) hearts. Sarcoplasmic reticulum {TEX}$Ca^{2+}${/TEX}-dependent ATPase and cardiac lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are additionally studied. The perfusion medium (1.0 mM {TEX}$Ca^{2+}${/TEX}) contained 5 mM glucose(+5 U/L insulin) and 2 mM pyruvate as substrates. Global ischemia was induced by reducing perfusion pressure of 100 to 40 cm {TEX}$H_{2}${/TEX}O, followed by 20 min reperfusin. Isoproterenol (ISO, 1$\mu$M) was infused for 10 min. Coronary vascular resistance and myocardial oxygen consumption ({TEX}$MVO_{2}${/TEX}) of SHR were increased in parallel with enhanced venous lactate during ischemia and reperfusion compared to those of Sprague Dawley (SD) hearts. Although ischemia-induced increase in venous lactate and combined adenosine plus inosine was abolished, coronary vasodilation produced in SD during reperfusion. In SHR, depressed reactive hyperemia was associated with a fall in cardiac ATP and CrP/Pi ratio and a rise in intracellular lactate/Pyruvate ratio. On the other hand, ISO produced coronary functional hyperemia and an increase in {TEX}$MVO_{2}${/TEX}. However, these responses were less than those in SHR hearts. The ATPase activity of SHR was attenuated in free {TEX}$Ca^{2+}${/TEX} concentrations used under basal condition and with ISO compared to that of SD. Venous lactate output and cardiac LDH activity were augmented in SHR as influenced by ISO. These results demonstrate that coronary reactive and functional hyperemia was dpressed in SHR, which cold be explained by alterations in the cytosolic phosphorylation potential and the cytosolic redox state manipulated by LDH, and by abnormal free calcium handling.

Objectives : Folium perillae (FP) can relieve superficial pathogenic factors to dissipate cold and promote the circulation of qi and regulate the function of the stomach and is often used for interior qi-stagnation. We hypothesized that FP could rescue cerebral ischemia in rats. Methods : The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of FP on cerebral ischemia in terms of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in rats. Finally, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release was investigated, too. Results : In this study, treatment with FP elevated rCBF and MABP levels in dose-dependent manner. Pre-treatment with indomethacin, an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, inhibited rCBF increase induced by FP effectively. However, FP did not affect stability during cerebral reperfusion. Finally, FP significantly inhibited LD H activity in vitro Conclusions : These results suggest that FP is useful to treat patient with diseases related to cerebral ischemia, because FP can increase rCBF and MABP.

Background: Paraplegia is a devastating complication following operations on the thoracoabdominal aorta. We investigated whether histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution could reduce the extent of ischemia/reperfusion (IR) spinal cord injuries in a rat model using a direct delivery method. Methods: Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into four groups. The sham group (n=6) underwent a sham operation, the IR group (n=6) underwent only an aortic occlusion, the saline infusion group (saline group, n=6) underwent an aortic occlusion and direct infusion of cold saline into the occluded aortic segment, and the HTK infusion group (HTK group, n=6) underwent an aortic occlusion and direct infusion of cold HTK solution into the occluded aortic segment. An IR spinal cord injury was induced by transabdominal clamping of the aorta distally to the left renal artery and proximally to the aortic bifurcation for 60 minutes. A neurological evaluation of locomotor function was performed using the modified Tarlov score after 48 hours of reperfusion. The spinal cord was harvested for histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations. Results: The spinal cord IR model using direct drug delivery in rats was highly reproducible. The Tarlov score was 4.0 in the sham group, $1.17{\pm}0.75$ in the IR group, $1.33{\pm}1.03$ in the saline group, and $2.67{\pm}0.81$ in the HTK group (p=0.04). The histopathological analysis of the HTK group showed reduced neuronal cell death. Conclusion: Direct infusion of cold HTK solution into the occluded aortic segment may reduce the extent of spinal cord injuries in an IR model in rats.

Background: Ischemic preconditioning enhances the tolerance of myocardium against ischemia/reperfusion injury, with the enhancement of the recovery of post-ischemic myocardial function. This study was disigned to assess whether the protective effect of ischemic preconditioning could provide one additional hour of myocardial preservation in four hour myocardial ischemia in a rate heart. Material and method: Fourty four Spargue-Dawley rats, weighing 300~450gm, were divided into four groups. Group 1(n=7) and group 3(n=12) were subjected to 30 minutes of aerobic Langendorff perfusion without ischemic preconditioning and then preserved in saline solution at 2~4$^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours and 5 respectively. Group 2(n=7) and group 4(n=18) were perfused in the same way for 20 minutes, followed by 3 minutes of global mormothermic ischemia and 10 minutes of perfusion and then preserved in the same cold saline solution for 4 hours and 5 hours respectively. Heart rate, left ventricular developed pressure(LVDP), and coronary flow were measured at 15 minutes during perfusion as baseline. Spontaneous defibrillation time was measured after reperfusion. Heart rate, LVDP, and coronary flow were also recorded at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 45 minutes during reperfusion. Samples of the apical left ventricular wall were studied using a transmission electron microscope. Result: Time of spontaneous defibrillation(TSD) was significantly longer in group 4 than in group 1(p<0.001), and TSD in group 1 was significantly longer in comparision to that of group 2(p<0.05). Heart rate at 45 minutes was significantly higher in group 1 than in group 4(p<0.05). Heart rate at 15 min was significantly higher in group 2 than in group 1(p<0.001) and in group 4 than in group 3(p<0.05). Left ventricular developed pressure(LVDP) at 30 minutes and 45 minutes was higher in group 1 than in group 4(p<0.01), LVDP at 45 minutes was higher in group 4 than in group 3(p<0.05). Rate-pressure product(RPP) at 30 minutes and 45 minutes was higher in group 1 than in group 4(p<0.05). RPP at 15 minutes was higher in group 2 than in group 1(p<0.01). RPP at 30 minutes and 45 minutes was higher in group 4 than in group 3(p<0.05). Group 2 showed relatively less sarcoplasmic edema and less nuclear chromatin clearance than group 1. Group 4 showed less myocardial cell damage than group 3, group 4 showed less myocardial cell damage than group 3, group 4 showed more myocardial cell edema than group 1. Conclusion: Ischemic preconditioning enhanced the recovery of postischemic myocardial function after 4 hours and 5 hours preservation. However, it was not demonstrated that ischemic preconditioning could definitely provide one additional hour of myocardial preservation in four hour myocardial ischemia in a rat heart.
