RESUMO
Iron accumulation, which is controlled by transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), modulates hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) activation and angiogenesis of hypoxic endothelial cells. The study examined the role of protein interacting with C-kinase 1 (PICK1), a scaffold protein containing PDZ domain, in regulating glycolysis and angiogenesis of hypoxic vascular endothelial cells through its potential effect on TfR1, which features a supersecondary structure that interacts with the PDZ domain. Iron chelator deferoxamine and TfR1 siRNA were employed to assess the impact of iron accumulation on angiogenesis, while the effects of PICK1 siRNA and overexpressing lentivirus on TfR1-mediated iron accumulation were also investigated in hypoxic human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). The study found that 72-h hypoxia impaired the proliferation, migration, and tube formation of HUVECs, and reduced the upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor, HIF-1α, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3, and PICK1, while increasing the expression of TfR1 as compared to 24-h hypoxia. Administration of deferoxamine or TfR1 siRNA reversed these effects and led to increased glycolysis, ATP content, and phosphofructokinase activity, along with increased PICK1 expression. PICK1 overexpression improved glycolysis, enhanced angiogenic capacity, and attenuated TfR1 protein upregulation in hypoxic HUVECs, with higher expression of angiogenic markers, which could be significantly reversed by the PDZ domain inhibitor. PICK1 knockdown exerted opposite effects. The study concluded that PICK1 modulated intracellular iron homeostasis, thereby promoting glycolysis and angiogenesis of HUVECs in response to prolonged hypoxia, at least in part, by regulating TfR1 expression.
RESUMO
Sleep disorder dramatically affects people's physical and mental health. Here, we investigated the effect of preoperative sleep disorders on anesthesia recovery and postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery under general anesthesia. 120 patients who underwent elective laparoscopic gynecological surgery under general anesthesia in Taizhou Central Hospital from November 2021 to March 2022 were included. According to the score of the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), the participating patients were divided into four groups: control group (control group), mild sleep disorder group A (group A), moderate sleep disorder group B (group B), and severe sleep disorder group C (group C), with 30 patients in each group. The changes of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) at different time points, operation time, anesthesia time, extubation time, the time when Aldrete score reached 10 points, visual analog score (VAS) serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were compared among different groups. Our study demonstrated that there were no significant differences in MAP and HR among the four groups at the same time points (all P > 0.05). Significant differences in the time of extubation and Aldrete score reaching 10 points had been found among the four groups (all P < 0.001), indicating more sleep disorder induced longer extubation and recovery time. There were significant differences in VAS scores among the four groups at both different and the same time points (all P < 0.001), suggesting more sleep disorders induced more pain in the sufferers. Serum IL-6 levels were significantly higher in the three sleep disorder groups than the control group at 6 h and 24 h after the operation (all P < 0.05), while group C has the highest IL-6 levels as compared to the other group (P = 0.09 and P < 0.001, respectively). At 6 h after operation, serum levels of TNF-α in group C were significantly higher than in the control group (P = 0.044), but no significant differences were found in the other two groups (all P > 0.05). Positive correlation with preoperative PSQI score has been found with the times of extubation, the time of Aldrete score reaching 10 points, the VAS at 1 h, 6 h, and 24 h after operation, the level of serum IL-6 at 1 day before operation and 6 h and 24 h after operation, and the TNF-α at 6 h and 24 h after operation (all P < 0.001). The present study showed that the degree of preoperative sleep disorders could affect the quality of postoperative awakening and pain of patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery under general anesthesia, which might be associated with the aggravation of inflammatory reactions in the body.

BACKGROUND: Dynamin related protein-1 (Drp1)-mediated mitochondrial fission relates to ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury, and its association with necroptosis is implied. We hypothesized that receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1), a key kinase in necroptosis, acted as an upstream of Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission during skeletal muscle IR. METHODS: Thirty rats were randomized into the SM, IR, NI, MI, and DI group (n = 6). The rats in the SM group were shamly operated, and those in the IR group were subjected to 4-hour ischemia of the right hindlimb that was followed by 4-hour reperfusion. Intraperitoneal administration of Nec-1 1 mg/kg, Mdivi-1 1.2 mg/kg and same volume of DMSO were given before ischemia in the NI, MI and DI groups, respectively. Upon reperfusion, the soleus muscles were harvested to determine morphological changes and the expression of RIP1, total Drp1 and p-Drp1 (Ser616). Moreover, the muscular oxidative stress indicators and plasma muscle damage biomarkers were detected. RESULTS: IR led to impaired histopathological structures and mitochondrial fragmentation in the soleus muscle tissue, accompanied with increased muscular oxidative stress and muscle injury biomarkers, which could be similarly alleviated by Mdivi-1 and Nec-1 (p < 0.05). RIP1 and p-Drp1 (Ser616) protein levels were significantly upregulated in the soleus muscle subjected to IR injury, this upregulation was attenuated in the NI group, and Mdivi-1 downregulated the protein expression of p-Drp1 (Ser616) but not of RIP1 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: RIP1 functions as an upstream of Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission in the execution of necroptosis during skeletal muscle IR.

BACKGROUND: Both apoptosis and necroptosis have been recognized to be involved in ischemia reperfusion-induced lung injury. We aimed to compare the efficacies of therapies targeting necroptosis and apoptosis and to determine if there is a synergistic effect between the two therapies in reducing lung ischemia reperfusion injury. METHODS: Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 5 groups: sham (SM) group, ischemia reperfusion (IR) group, necrostatin-1+ischemia reperfusion (NI) group, carbobenzoxy-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone+ischemia reperfusion (ZI) group, and necrostatin-1+carbobenzoxy-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone+ischemia reperfusion (NZ) group. The left lung hilum was exposed without being clamped in rats from the SM group, whereas the rats were subjected to lung ischemia reperfusion by clamping the left lung hilum for 1 hour, followed by reperfusion for 3 hours in the IR group. 1 mg/kg necrostatin-1 (Nec-1: a specific necroptosis inhibitor) and 3 mg/kg carbobenzoxy-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone (z-VAD-fmk: a pan caspase inhibitor) were intraperitoneally administrated prior to ischemia in NI and ZI groups, respectively, and the rats received combined administration of Nec-1 and z-VAD-fmk in the NZ group. Upon reperfusion, expressions of receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1), receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3), and caspase-8 were measured, and the flow cytometry analysis was used to assess the cell death patterns in the lung tissue. Moreover, inflammatory marker levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and pulmonary edema were evaluated. RESULTS: Both Nec-1 and z-VAD-fmk, either alone or in combination, significantly reduced morphological damage, inflammatory markers, and edema in lung tissues following reperfusion, and cotreatment of z-VAD-fmk with Nec-1 produced the optimal effect. The rats treated with Nec-1 had lower levels of inflammatory markers in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid than those receiving z-VAD-fmk alone (P < 0.05). Interestingly, the z-VAD-fmk administration upregulated RIP1 and RIP3 expressions in the lung tissue from the ZI group compared to those in the IR group (P < 0.05). Reperfusion significantly increased the percentages of necrotic and apoptotic cells in lung tissue single-cell suspension, which could be decreased by Nec-1 and z-VAD-fmk, respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Nec-1 synergizes the pan caspase inhibitor to attenuate lung ischemia reperfusion injury in rats. Our data support the potential use of Nec-1 in lung transplantation-related disorders.

OBJECTIVE: This study was aimed to investigate the protective effect of methylene blue against lung injury induced by reperfusion of ischemic hindlimb in a rat model. METHODS: Twenty-four healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were equally randomized into three groups: sham (SM) group, ischemia reperfusion (IR) group, and methylene blue (MB) group. Rats in both IR and MB groups were subjected to 4 h of ischemia by clamping the left femoral artery and then followed by 4 h of reperfusion. Treatment with 1% methylene blue (50 mg/kg) was administrated intraperitoneally at 10 min prior to reperfusion in the MB group. After 4 h of reperfusion, malondialdehyde (MDA) level, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in lung tissue were detected; inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1ß and IL-6, were measured in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF); correspondingly, the morphological changes and water content in both gastrocnemius muscle and lung samples were evaluated. RESULTS: Hindlimb IR caused remarkable morphological abnormalities and edema in both muscle and lung tissues. SOD activity was decreased, both the MPO activity and MDA level in lung tissue, as well as IL-1ß and IL-6 levels in BALF, were increased in the IR group (p < 0.05). Compared with the IR group, SOD activity was increased, whereas MPO activity and MDA level in lung tissue and IL-1ß and IL-6 levels in BALF were decreased in the MB group (p < 0.05). Also, the histological damage and edema in both lung and muscle tissues were significantly attenuated by the treatment of methylene blue. CONCLUSION: Methylene blue attenuates lung injury induced by hindlimb IR in rats, at least in part, by inhibiting oxidative stress.

BACKGROUND: Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a biologically active lysophospholipid mediator involved in modulating inflammatory process. We investigated the effects of FTY720, a structural analogue of S1P after phosphorylation, on lung injury induced by hindlimb ischemia reperfusion (IR) in rats. METHODS: Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into groups SM, IR, F3, F5, and F10. Group SM received sham operation, and bilateral hindlimb IR was established in group IR. The rats in groups F3, F5, and F10 were pretreated with 3, 5, and 10 mg/kg/d FTY720 for 7 days before IR. S1P lyase (S1PL), sphingosine kinase (SphK) 1, and SphK2 mRNA expressions, wet/dry weight (W/D), and polymorphonuclear/alveolus (P/A) in lung tissues were detected, and the lung injury score was evaluated. RESULTS: W/D, P/A, and mRNA expressions of S1PL, SphK1, and SphK2 were higher in group IR than in group SM, while these were decreased in both groups F5 and F10 as compared to IR (p < 0.05). The lung tissue presented severe lesions in group IR, which were attenuated in groups F5 and F10 with lower lung injury scores than in group IR (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: FTY720 pretreatment could attenuate lung injury induced by hindlimb IR by modulating S1P metabolism and decreasing pulmonary neutrophil infiltration.

Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to be linked to regulate different biological processes, such as cell growth, differentiation and tumorigenesis. LncRNAs have been identified to be promising clinical biomarkers in various tumors. Long noncoding RNAs cancer susceptibility candidate 2 (CASC2) has recently been demonstrated to be correlated to tumorigenesis in renal cell carcinoma, lung carcinoma, glioma, and gastric carcinoma. Nevertheless, the research on the biological function and clinical significance of CASC2 in thyroid carcinoma are still unclear. In this research, we focused on the relationship between CASC2 expression and clinicopathological factors in thyroid cancer. We found that the low expression of CASC2 correlated with multifocality and advanced tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate analysis showed that CASC2 expression may be an independent prognostic factor in human thyroid carcinoma. Moreover, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of CASC2 indicated that its diagnostic value in thyroid carcinoma. Additionally, overexpression of CASC2 significantly inhibited the proliferation of thyroid carcinoma cells and arrested cell cycle at G0/G1 stage in thyroid cancer cells. Our findings showed that CASC2 may be a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target.

OBJECTIVES: Neutrophils play an important role in ischemia/reperfusion (IR) induced skeletal muscle injury. Microtubules are required for neutrophil activation in response to various stimuli. This study aimed to investigate the effects of colchicine, a microtubule-disrupting agent, on skeletal muscle IR injury in a rat hindlimb ischemia model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-one Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into three groups IR group, colchicine treated-IR (CO) group and sham operation (SM) group. Rats of both the IR and CO groups were subjected to 3 hr of ischemia by clamping the right femoral artery followed by 2 hr of reperfusion. Colchicine (1 mg/kg) was administrated intraperitoneally prior to hindlimb ischemia in the CO group. After 2 hr of reperfusion, we measured superoxide dismutase (SOD) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities, and malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1ß levels in the muscle samples. Plasma creatinine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were measured. We also evaluated the histological damage score and wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio. RESULTS: The histological damage score, W/D ratio, MPO activity, MDA, TNF-α and IL-1ß levels in muscle tissues were significantly increased, SOD activity was decreased, and plasma CK and LDH levels were remarkably elevated in both the IR and CO groups compared to the SM group (P<0.05). Colchicine treatment significantly reduced muscle damage and edema, oxidative stress and levels of the inflammatory parameters in the CO group compared to the IR group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Colchicine attenuates IR-induced skeletal muscle injury in rats.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion accounts for high morbidity and mortality, and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 is implicated in causing muscle damage. Downregulation of aquaporin-1 (AQP-1) transmembrane protein is implicated in skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion induced remote lung injury. The expression of COX-2 in lung tissue and the effect of COX-2 inhibition on AQP-1 expression and lung injury during skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion are not known. We investigated the role of COX-2 in lung injury induced by skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion in rats and evaluated the effects of NS-398, a specific COX-2 inhibitor. METHODS: Twenty-four Sprague Dawley rats were randomized into 4 groups: sham group (SM group), sham+NS-398 group (SN group), ischemia reperfusion group (IR group) and ischemia reperfusion+NS-398 group (IN group). Rats in the IR and IN groups were subjected to 3h of bilateral ischemia followed by 6h of reperfusion in hindlimbs, and intravenous NS-398 8 mg/kg was administered in the IN group. In the SM and SN groups, rubber bands were in place without inflation. At the end of reperfusion, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, COX-2 and AQP-1 protein expression in lung tissue, PGE2 metabolite (PGEM), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1ß levels in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were assessed. Histological changes in lung and muscle tissues and wet/dry (W/D) ratio were also evaluated. RESULTS: MPO activity, COX-2 expression, W/D ratio in lung tissue, and PGEM, TNF-α and IL-1ß levels in BAL fluid were significantly increased, while AQP-1 protein expression downregulated in the IR group as compared to that in the SM group (P<0.05). These changes were remarkably mitigated in the IN group (P<0.05). NS-398 treatment also alleviated histological signs of lung and skeletal muscle injury. CONCLUSION: COX-2 protein expression was upregulated in lung tissue in response to skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion. COX-2 inhibition may modulate pulmonary AQP-1 expression and attenuate lung injury.

BACKGROUND: Mechanical ventilation especially with large tidal volume has been demonstrated to activate inflammatory response inducing lung injury, which could be attenuated by cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors. As the main small integral membrane proteins that selectively conduct water molecules' transportation, aquaporin (AQP)-1 downregulation significantly related to lung edema and inflammation. This study aims to investigate the role of AQP1 in ventilator-induced lung injury in rats and evaluates the effects of COX-2 inhibition. METHODS: Forty rats were allocated into four groups, where rats in Groups LD (low volume+DMSO) and LN (low volume+NS-398) were given intravenously 2ml DMSO and 8mg/kg NS-398 (a specific COX-2 inhibitor, dissolved in 2ml DMSO) before 4-hour lower tidal volume ventilation (8ml/kg), respectively, while DMSO and NS-398 were administrated in the same manner before 4-hour injurious ventilation (40ml/kg) in Groups HD (high volume+DMSO) and HN (high volume+NS-398). The arachidonic acid metabolites (6-keto prostaglandin F1α, thromboxane B2), inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1ß, 6, 8) and total protein levels in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and COX-2 mRNA and AQP1 protein expression in lung tissue were detected; water content and lung morphology were also evaluated. RESULTS: Compared to Groups LD and LN, the rats in Groups HD and HN suffered obvious lung morphological changes with higher wet-to-dry weight ratio and lung injury score, and the levels of arachidonic acid metabolites, inflammatory cytokines and total protein in BAL fluid were increased, the expression of COX-2 mRNA was significantly upregulated and AQP1 protein was downregulated in lung tissue (p<0.05). The changes in BAL fluid and the severity of lung injury were attenuated, and AQP1 expression was upregulated in Group HN as compared to HD (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Ventilation with large tidal volume causes inflammatory mediator production and AQP1 downregulation, which could be attenuated by COX-2 inhibition.

BACKGROUND: Mechanical ventilation has been documented to paradoxically cause lung injury. As a commonly used volatile anesthetic, sevoflurane has been proven to possess antiinflammatory and antioxidative properties. This study aims to investigate the protective effects of sevoflurane on inflammation and ventilator-induced lung injury during mechanical ventilation in healthy mice. METHODS: The adult healthy mice were divided into four groups, each consisting of ten subjects: mice in group Con-L(VT) and group Sev-L(VT) were ventilated with tidal volumes of 8 mL/kg for 4 hours, while those in group Con-H(VT) and group Sev-H(VT) were ventilated with tidal volumes of 16 mL/kg instead. Control mice (group Con-L(VT) and Con-H(VT)) were subjected to fresh air, while sevoflurane-treated mice (groups Sev- L(VT) and Sev-H(VT)) were subjected to air mixed with 1 vol% sevoflurane. After 4 hours of ventilation, the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid was collected and analyzed for the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-6, and IL-10. Lung homogenates were harvested to detect the expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and heme oxygenase (HO)-1 mRNA by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction method. Lung damage was evaluated using the modified Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury histological scoring system. RESULTS: Compared to group Con-L(VT), the levels of TNF-α, IL-1ß, IL-6, and IL-10 in BAL fluid, mRNA expressions of NF-κB and HO-1 in lung tissue, and lung injury scores were significantly increased in group Con-H(VT); compared to group Con-H(VT), group Sev-H(VT) BAL samples showed decreased levels of TNF-α, IL-1ß, and IL-6; they also showed increased levels of IL-10, the downregulation of NF-κB mRNA, and HO-1 mRNA upregulation; the lung injury scores were significantly lower in group Sev-H(VT) than group Con-H(VT). CONCLUSION: Mechanical ventilation with high tidal volume might lead to lung injury, which could be significantly, but not completely, attenuated by sevoflurane inhalation by inhibiting the NF-κB-mediated proinflammatory cytokine generation and upregulating HO-1 expression.

BACKGROUND: Mechanical ventilation may paradoxically cause lung injury. Protective mechanical ventilation strategy utilizing low tidal volume and high frequency has been shown to attenuate inflammation and reduce mortality in non-diabetic patients. The purpose of this present study was to observe the effects of diabetes on inflammation and lung injury in mice with protective ventilation strategy. METHODS: Forty mice were included in our study. The mice in Group Dia-MV and Con-MV were subjected to 4 hour-ventilation. And the mice in Group Dia-SB and Con-SB were exposed to room air breathing spontaneously for 4h. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in serum were detected and the expression of inflammatory cytokine mRNA was also determined in lung tissue. Lung damage was assessed using a modified lung injury score. RESULTS: The serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 in Group Dia-MV were significantly higher than those in Group Dia-SB or Group Con-MV or Group Con-SB (P<0.05). Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of pro-inflammatory cytokines in lung homogenates presented similar results. The mice in Group Dia-MV suffered obvious lung histological changes, whose lung injury scores were significantly higher in Group Dia-SB as compared to Group Con-SB , Group Con-MV or Group Dia-SB (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Diabetes increased the inflammation reaction and associated lung injury in mice in spite of the protective mechanical ventilation strategy based on low tidal volumes and high frequency.

The tourniquet has been considered as a recognized cause of limb ischemia/reperfusion injury in orthopedic surgery resulting in a transient neutrophil, monocyte activation, and enhanced neutrophil transendothelial migration with potential remote tissue injury. This study investigated the effect of unilateral tourniquet application within a safe time limit on pulmonary function and the roles of lipid peroxidation and systemic inflammatory response. Thirty patients undergoing unilateral lower extremity surgery with or without tourniquet were equally divided into a control group with no tourniquet (Group C) and a tourniquet (Group T). Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (P(a)O(2)), arterial-alveolar oxygen tension ratio (a/A ratio), alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (A-aDO(2)) and respiratory index, plasma malondialdehyde, serum interleukin (IL) -6 and IL-8 levels were measured immediately before and 1 hour after tourniquet inflation/operation beginning, 0.5, 2, 6, and 24 hours after tourniquet deflation/operation ending. The results represented no significant changes in Group C with regard to either blood gas variables or levels of circulating mediators, while blood gas variable changes of greater A-aDO(2) and respiratory index and lower PaO2 and a/A ratio were shown at 6 hours following tourniquet deflation. The levels of malondialdehyde, IL-6, and IL-8 were increased over baseline values from 2 to 24 hours following tourniquet deflation in Group T. We concluded that tourniquet application within a safe time limit may cause pulmonary gas exchange impairment several hours after tourniquet deflation, where lipid peroxidation and systemic inflammatory response may be involved.

BACKGROUND: Acute lung injury is a recognized complication of lower limb ischemia-reperfusion that has been demonstrated experimentally and in the clinical setting of aortic surgery. The application of a tourniquet can cause lower limb ischemia-reperfusion in orthopedic surgery. We studied the effect of unilateral thigh tourniquet-induced lower limb ischemia-reperfusion on pulmonary function, and the role of ischemic preconditioning in attenuating pulmonary dysfunction. METHODS: Thirty ASA I or II patients scheduled for lower extremity surgery were randomized into 2 groups: a limb ischemia-reperfusion group with tourniquet application (ischemia-reperfusion group, n = 15) and an ischemia preconditioning group (preconditioning group, n = 15), in which patients received 3 cycles of 5 minutes of ischemia, alternating with 5 minutes of reperfusion before extended use of the tourniquet. Blood gas, plasma malondialdehyde, and serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, and IL-10 levels were measured just before tourniquet inflation, 1 hour after inflation and 2 hours, 6 hours, and 24 hours after tourniquet deflation. Arterial-alveolar oxygen tension ratio, alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference, and respiratory index also were calculated. RESULTS: In comparison with the baseline values, arterial Po(2) and arterial-alveolar oxygen tension ratio were decreased, while alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference and respiratory index were increased significantly 6 hours after tourniquet deflation in both groups (P < 0.01). However, these changes were less significant in the ischemic preconditioning group than those in the lower limb ischemia-reperfusion group (P < 0.01). Similarly, the increases in the malondialdehyde, IL-6, and IL-8 from 2 hours to 24 hours after release of the tourniquet in the lower limb ischemia-reperfusion group were attenuated by ischemic preconditioning. CONCLUSIONS: Pulmonary gas exchange is impaired after lower limb ischemia-reperfusion associated with the clinical use of a tourniquet for lower limb surgery. Ischemic preconditioning preceding tourniquet-induced ischemia attenuates lipid peroxidation and systemic inflammatory response and mitigates pulmonary dysfunction.
