Nonspecific investigations resulting in treatment delays contribute to the 30 per cent mortality associated with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI). As preliminary studies indicate that alpha-glutathione S-transferase (alpha-GST) is elevated in AMI we compare the ability of alpha-GST against
BACKGROUND
We conducted this study to evaluate the effects of thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) on inflammatory response, lipid peroxidation, and oxidative stress in a rat model of mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion (I/R).
METHODS
Rats were divided into 4 groups: sham group (n=6; sham laparotomy),
Mesenteric ischemia (MESI) is a rare but often fatal complication in patients after cardiac surgery. Non-specific clinical symptoms and lack of specific laboratory parameters complicate the diagnosis. We evaluated potential serum markers for MESI in cardiac surgery Peroxynitrite-mediated DNA strand breaks trigger poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase (PARS) activation, resulting in intracellular energetic failure and organ dysfunction. We investigated the role of PARS activation on the inflammatory and functional response of the intestine to mesenteric
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) defines a complex of conditions characterized by an interruption of the splanchnic circulation, leading to insufficient oxygen delivery or utilization to fill the metabolic needs of the visceral organs. Early diagnosis and immediate therapy are the cornerstones of
Early identification of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is challenging. The wide variability in clinical presentation challenges providers to make an early accurate diagnosis. Despite major diagnostic and treatment advances over the past decades, mortality remains high. Arterial embolus and superior
Clinical diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia is difficult. The aim of this review is to provide current status on the search for an accurate plasma biomarker for acute mesenteric ischemia. A search using the medical subject heading terms marker and mesenteric ischemia or intestinal ischemia or
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is one of the most severe diagnostic and therapeutic vital emergencies. This affection is characterized by the insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract, related to an occlusive or non-occlusive mechanism, resulting in an ischemic and inflammatory injury
Laparotomy remains the gold standard for diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI), but is often unhelpful or too late due to non-specific clinical and radiological signs. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the novel serological biomarkers
BACKGROUND
Curcumin is an anti-oxidant molecule known to be a potent inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). It has been shown to attenuate ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in several organ systems. In this study, we sought to investigate the effects of curcumin on the prevention of
OBJECTIVE
Acute intestinal ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury affects not only the intestines but also remote organs due to pro-inflammatory and tissue injurious factors. Thus, we aimed to investigate the roles of melatonin (a powerful antioxidant) and 1400W (a strong inhibitor of inducible nitric
OBJECTIVE
Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. There is ongoing research to find an effective preventive or treatment agent. We aimed to evaluate the effects of apelin 13 (AP) on intestinal I/R injury in a rat model.
METHODS
Twenty-four
BACKGROUND
Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) is a low-molecular-weight thiol antioxidant and potent inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation. It has been shown to attenuate harmful effects of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in many organs. In recent animal studies, destructive
Ischemic gut contributes to the development of sepsis and organ failure in critically ill patients. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been reported to mediate the pathophysiology of organ damage following ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. We hypothesize that LPS, a ligand for TLR4, decreases
BACKGROUND
Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (IR) induces a systemic inflammatory response and releases harmful substances that may affect the function and integrity of distant organs such as lung, liver, and kidney. We conducted this study to find out if proanthocyanidins (PA) has protective effects
