Filter by:The aim of this trail is to assess the safety and therapeutic effects of single EPO intervention in different times during coronary surgery in changes of inflammatory response.
To investigate whether dexmedetomidine reduce liver injury after hepatectomy. During hepatectomy, surgeons always took inflow occlusion to reduce blood loss with Pringle maneuver. A few clinical studies had shown dexmedetomidine could reduce ischaemia/reperfusion (IR) injury caused by the secretion of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cytokines. Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) was a sensitive and specific marker for hepatic injury in several studies before. So the investigator decided to use it as the primary endpoint. Besides, in our center, there are some liver resection surgeries that didn't need occlusion. So it can serve the best placebo for determine the the actual effect of dexmedetomidine on the IR injury in further subgroup analysis.
Remote ischemic preconditioning(RIPC) is emerging as an promising therapeutic paradigm to combat the detrimental impact of ischemic and reperfusion injury. In liver transplantation, ischemic and reperfusion injury severely impacts the post-surgery liver function and patient outcome. This prospective, double blind, randomized clinical trial is aimed to test the protective effect of RIPC against hepatic ischemic and reperfusion injury in pediatric liver transplantation.
This study aims to understand the impact of time-of-the day on human myocardial tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion by exploring atrial myocardium biopsied during cardiac surgery. Patients scheduled for non-urgent cardiac surgery (coronary artery by-pas graft and/or aortic valve replacement) will be assigned to a morning or an afternoon cardiac surgery based on randomization. Myocardial biopsies will be explored in ex vivo conditions mimicking ischemia-reperfusion.
Laparoscopic surgery has played a pivotal role in all surgical fields in modern medicine. It has some well known advantages over open surgery. For this reason laparoscopic surgery is know the first choice for many surgical procedures, even in gynecology. On the other hand, despite the advantages of laparoscopy carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum is not free from side effects. Experimental studies and limited clinical studies showed that pneumoperitoneum leads to a decrease in the blood flow to intra-abdominal organs during laparoscopic surgery. This is also known as ischemia, leads to the production of free O2 radicals. The desufflation of the abdominal cavity at the end of the procedure reduces the increased abdominal pressure and increase the perfusion of intra-abdominal organs. However this will not stop the production of free radicals. This reperfusion period even exaggerate the release of free radicals. This phenomenon is called as ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) model that leads to release of various free radicals, which are the most important mediators of oxidative tissue injury and consequential organ dysfunction. Recently both oxidative tissue injury and consequential dysfunction have been shown in ovarian tissue in experimental animal studies. But the data related to human ovary is still scarce. Thus the aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of I/R injury related to CO2 pneumoperitoneum on human ovary.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether perioperative use of Shenfu Injection could reduce myocardial injury (enzymatic infarct size and infarct volume according to cardiac magnetic resonance imaging) in patients with STEMI after primary PCI
Ischemia reperfusion injury causes the release of free oxygen radicals. The selective alpha2-receptor agonist, dexmedetomidine, has an inhibitory effect on inflammatory responses during ischemic injury. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on inflammatory responses during ischemia-reperfusion injury in skeletal muscle.
Myocardial injury occurs after percutaneous coronary intervention due to micro emboli, ischemia-reperfusion injury or side branch occlusion. 3 cycles of ischemic preconditioning has been shown to be useful in preventing myocardial injury but it is not suitable to perform it especially in ad hoc interventions. In this study the investigators aim is to show whether one cycle remote ischemic preconditioning will be enough to prevent myocardial injury during percutaneous coronary intervention.
The investigators tested the impact of purging the graft contents and mesenteric blood into the systemic circulation versus washing out this volume out of the circulation in living donor liver transplantation recipients.
Ischemia-reperfusion injury resulted from pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery have been reported in some literatures. There are no studies investigating the time course of changes in oxidative stress markers in volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) modes. The aim of this study is to compare the alterations in oxidative stress in two different ventilation strategies during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. Methods: Fifty-two patients of ASA physical status I or II were randomly assigned to receive either VCV or PCV during laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. Blood gas analysis and ventilation variables were recorded 1 minute before (T1) and 1 hour after (T2) pneumoperitoneum. Blood samples for malondialdehyde (MDA) measurement were collected at seven points: 1 minute before (T1) and 1 hour after (T2) pneumoperitoneum; 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes after deflation (T3~T6); and 24 hours after deflation (T7).
