Remote ischemic postconditioning could protect some ischemia-sensitive organs through measures on terminal organs. In this study, a focal cerebral ischemia-reperftlsion injury model was established using three cycles of remote ischernic postconditioning, each cycle consisted of 10-minute occlusion of the femoral artery and 10-minute opening. The results showed that, remote ischemic postconditioning significantly decreased the percentage of the in- farct area and attenuated brain edema. In addition, inflammatory nuclear factor-KB expression was significantly lower, while anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 expression was significantly elevated in the ce- rebral cortex on the ischemic side. Our findings indicate that remote ischemic postconditioning attenuates focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, and that the neuroprotective mechanism is mediated by an anti-apoptotic effect and reduction of the inflammatory response.展开更多

Following three rounds of reperfusion for 30 seconds, and occlusion for 10 seconds, followed by reperfusion for 48 hours, infarct area, the number of TUNEL-positive cells and Bcl-2 expression were significantly reduced. However, glycogen synthase kinase-3β activity, cortical Bax and caspase-3 expression significantly increased, similar to results following ischemic postconditioning. Our results indicated that ischemic postconditioning may enhance glycogen synthase kinase-3β activity, a downstream molecule of the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathway, which reduces caspase-3 expression to protect the brain against ischemic injury.展开更多

In this study, a rat model of sciatic nerve transection was established, and subjected to three cycles of ischemia for 10 minutes ＋ reperfusion for 10 minutes, once a day. After ischemic postconditioning, serum insulin-like growth factor 1 expression increased; sciatic nerve Schwann cell myelination increased; sensory function and motor function were restored. These findings indicate that ischemic postconditioning can effectively protect injured sciatic nerve. The protective effect is possibly associated with upregulation of insulin-like growth factor 1.展开更多

Following three rounds of reperfusion for 30 seconds, and occlusion for 10 seconds, followed by reperfusion for 48 hours, infarct area, the number of TUNEL-positive cells and Bcl-2 expression were significantly reduced. However, glycogen synthase kinase-3β activity, cortical Bax and caspase-3 expression significantly increased, similar to results following ischemic postconditioning. Our results indicated that ischemic postconditioning may enhance glycogen synthase kinase-3β activity, a downstream molecule of the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathway, which reduces caspase-3 expression to protect the brain against ischemic injury.

文摘Ischemic preconditioning or postconditioning has been shown to have neuroprotective effect on cerebral ischemia, but it has not been studied in peripheral nerve injury. In this study, a rat model of sciatic nerve transection was established, and subjected to three cycles of ischemia for 10 minutes ＋ reperfusion for 10 minutes, once a day. After ischemic postconditioning, serum insulin-like growth factor 1 expression increased; sciatic nerve Schwann cell myelination increased; sensory function and motor function were restored. These findings indicate that ischemic postconditioning can effectively protect injured sciatic nerve. The protective effect is possibly associated with upregulation of insulin-like growth factor 1.

文摘Objective:To analyze the influences of locial ischemic postconditioning and remote limb ischemic postconditioning on oxidative stress response with myocardial ischemia reperfusion in rats.Methods:Thirty-two SD rats were randomly divided into Sham group,ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)group,local ischemic postconditioning(LIPC)group,and remote limb ischemic postconditioning(RIPC)group,after 3 hourse reperfusion,the contents of serum creatinine kinase,MB isoenzyme(CK-MB),xanthine oxidase(XOD),superoxide dismutase(SOD),myeloperoxidase(MPO),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were measured.The 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining was carried out to evaluate the area of myocardial infarction,cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography,and HE staining was performed to observe the morphology of myocardial cells.Results:Compared with the Sham group,the SOD contents of the I/R group,LIPC group,RIPC group reduced significantly(P<0.05),the XOD,MPO,TNF-αcontents increased significantly(P<0.05);Compared with the I/R group,the TNF-αcontents of the LIPC group reduced significantly(P<0.05),other oxidative stress indicators of the LIPC group had no significant differences;Compared with the I/R group,the MPO and TNF-αcontents reduced(P<0.05),the SOD and XOD contents of the RIPC group had no significant differences;Compared with the LIPC group,the MPO contents reduced(P<0.05)in the RIPC group,other oxidative stress indicators had no significant differences.Compared with the Sham group,myocardial infarction area,CK-MB contents,LVIDs increased with the reduction of EF in I/R group,LIPC group,RIPC group(P<0.05),HE staining had differences;Compared with the I/R group,myocardial infarction area,CK-MB contents,LVIDd,LVIDs,EF and HE staining results had no significant differences in the LIPC group and the RIPC group;Compared with the RIPC group,the LIPC group had no significant differences.Conclusion:Remote limb ischemic postconditioning and local ischemic postconditioning can partially reduce the oxidative stress response,but does not significantly reduce myocardial infarction area,improve cardiac function.
文摘背景急性缺血性卒中(AIS)高发,及时恢复脑血流是治疗的关键,超时间窗就诊患者无更多促进脑血流恢复的治疗手段。研究远隔缺血后适应(RIPostC)治疗对AIS超时间窗就诊患者的临床疗效、并发症和预后,具有重要的临床意义。目的探究RIPostC治疗对AIS超时间窗患者干预的影响,为超时间窗就诊的AIS患者寻求安全、有效的脑血流恢复治疗方式。方法本研究采用随机、分组、安慰剂对照法进行试验。选取2021-09-02—2022-08-31于北京航天总医院神经内科病房住院治疗的超溶栓时间窗(发病时间>6 h)的AIS患者为研究对象。依据随机数字表法将患者分为对照组和试验组。试验期+随访期共90 d,均使用同等的一般治疗、脑血管病常规治疗,试验组在此基础上给予RIPostC治疗14 d(28次),对照组给予模拟的RIPostC治疗14 d(28次)。在干预前和干预后30 d、干预后90 d,采用改良Rankin量表(mRS)、美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS)评估两组患者神经功能,简易精神状态检查量表(MMSE)、蒙特利尔认知评估量表(MoCA)评估患者认知功能,工具性日常生活能力量表(IADL)评估日常生活能力,焦虑自评量表(SAS)、抑郁自评量表(SDS)评估精神状态,经颅多普勒超声(TCD)评估脑血流速度,以白介素(IL)-6反映炎症情况。结果122例患者中,最终完成试验及随访99例,其中试验组49例,对照组50例。两组患者性别、年龄、基础疾病(高血压、糖尿病、冠心病)及基线NIHSS评分比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。重复测量方差分析结果示,时间与组别对MMSE、MoCA、mRS、NIHSS、脑血流速度、IL-6存在交互作用(P<0.05),时间和组别对MMSE、MoCA、NIHSS、脑血流速度、IL-6主效应显著(P<0.05),时间对mRS、SAS、SDS、IADL主效应显著(P<0.05)。试验组干预后30、90 d MMSE、MoCA评分及脑血流速度均高于对照组,mRS、NIHSS评分均低于对照组(P<0.05);试验组干预后30、90 d SDS、IADL评分低于对照组(P<0.05);试验组干预后30 d SAS评分高于对照组,IL-6低于对照组(P<0.05)。99例患者中共有23例患者发生不良反应,其中试验组17例,对照组6例,两组皮肤瘀点、头晕、心慌、胸闷发生率比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);对照组患者皮肤瘀斑发生率[4.00%(2/50)与12.24%(6/49)]、总不良反应发生率[12.00%(6/50)与34.69%(17/49)]低于试验组(P<0.05)。结论RIPostC治疗可降低AIS患者的炎症反应,对神经功能、认知功能抑郁情绪及颅内血流速度可起到积极的改善效果。
文摘目的观察尼可地尔联合缺血后适应(MIP)对急性ST段抬高心肌梗死(STEMI)患者急诊直接经皮冠脉介入术(PPCI)心肌血流灌注及预后的影响。方法选取急诊行PPCI的STEMI患者200例,随机均分为对照组(PPCI)、尼可地尔组(PPCI+尼可地尔)、MIP组(PPCI+MIP)、联合组(PPCI+尼可地尔+MIP)。比较4组患者心肌血流灌注恢复、心肌损伤、心功能和预后的差异。结果与对照组比较,尼可地尔组、MIP组及联合组术后即刻TIMI血流帧数、术后24 h肌钙蛋白I(cTnI)和肌酸激酶同工酶(CK-MB)、术后72 h cTnI降低,尼可地尔组及联合组术后无复流发生率降低,联合组术后12个月N末端B型脑钠肽前体、术后7天心律失常严重程度评分、12个月内心衰和心绞痛再住院率降低,尼可地尔组及联合组术后2 h ST段回落率升高(P<0.05)。联合组术后24 h CK-MB显著低于尼可地尔组(P<0.05)。结论尼可地尔联合MIP在心肌血流灌注恢复、降低心肌损伤及改善患者预后方面的效果值得肯定。
