The mechanisms of IRI remain unclear, and effec-tive methods are lacking for the prevention and therapy of IRI. Several factors/pathways have been implicated in the hepatic IRI process, including anaerobic metabo-lism, mitochondria, oxidative stress, intracellular cal-cium overload, liver Kupffer cells and neutrophils, and cytokines and chemokines. The role of nitric oxide(NO)in protecting against liver IRI has recently been report-ed. NO has been found to attenuate liver IRI through various mechanisms including reducing hepatocellular apoptosis, decreasing oxidative stress and leukocyte adhesion, increasing microcirculatory flow, and enhanc-ing mitochondrial function. The purpose of this review is to provide insights into the mechanisms of liver IRI, indicating the potential protective factors/pathways that may help to improve therapeutic regimens for control-ling hepatic IRI during liver surgery, and the potential therapeutic role of NO in liver IRI.展开更多

METHODS: An ACLF model was established in rats, and animals were randomly divided into normal, mod- el and EP treatment groups. The rats in EP treatment group received EP (40 mg/kg) at 3 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after induction of ACLF. Serum endotoxin, high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), alanine transaminase (ALT), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-α (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-18 levels, changes of liver histology and HMGB1 expressions in liver tis- sues were detected at 48 h after induction of ACLF. The effects of EP on the survival of ACLF rats were also observed.RESULTS: Serum levels of endotoxin (0.394 ± 0.066 EU/mL vs 0.086±0.017 EU/mL, P 〈 0.001), HMGB1 (35.42±10,86 μg/L vs 2.14 ± 0.27 μg/L, P 〈 0.001), ALT (8415.87 ± 3567.54 IU/L vs 38.64 ± 8.82 IU/L, P 〈 0.001), TNF-α (190.77 ± 12.34 ng/L vs 124.40 ± 4.12 ng/L, P 〈 0.001), IFN-γ (715.38 ± 86.03 ng/L vs 398.66 ± 32.91 ng/L, P 〈 0.001), IL-10 (6.85 ± 0.64 ng/L vs 3.49 ± 0.24 ng/L, P 〈 0.001) and IL-18 (85.19 ±3.49 ng/L vs 55.38 ±1.25 ng/L, P 〈 0.001) were significantly increased, and liver tissues presented se- vere pathological injury in the model group compared with the normal group, Howeverr EP administration significantly improved hepatic histopathology and re- duced the serum levels of endotoxin (0.155±0.045 EU/mL vs 0.394 ± 0.066 EU/mL vs P 〈 0.001) and in- flammatory cytokines (11.13 ± 2.58 μg/L vs 35.42 ± 10.86 μg/L for HMGB1, 3512.86 ± 972.67 IU/L vs 8415.87 ± 3567.54 IU/L for ALT, 128.55 ± 5.76 ng/L vs 190.77 ± 12.34 ng/L for TNF-α 438.16 ± 38.10 ng/L vs 715.38 ± 86.03 ng/L for IFN-γ 3.55 ± 0.36 ng/L vs 6.85 ± 0.64 ng/L for IL-10, and 60.35 ± 1.63 ng/L vs 85.19 ± 3.49 ng/L for IL-18, respectively, P 〈 0.001), and the levels of HMGB1 in liver tissues re- gardless of treatment time after induction of ACLF. EP treatment at the four time points prolonged the me- dian survival time of ACLF rats (60 h) to 162 h, 120 h, 102 h and 78 h, respectively (χ2 = 41.17, P 〈 0.0001). CONCLUSION: EP administration can protect against ACLF in rats, and is a potential and novel therapeutic agent for severe liver injury.展开更多
