Postconditioning Protects Against Endothelial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in the Human Forearm [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 2006
Background: Hypoxic cell death follows interruption of blood supply to tissues. Although successful restoration of blood flow is mandatory for salvage of ischemic tissues, reperfusion can paradoxically place tissues at risk of further injury.

Myocardial Reperfusion Injury

New England Journal of Medicine, 2007
Lethal reperfusion injury is a paradoxical type of myocardial injury caused by the restoration of coronary blood flow after an ischemic episode. This review focuses on the mechanisms of the injury, on attempts to protect the heart against it, and on promising new approaches to cardioprotection during percutaneous coronary intervention.

Reperfusion Injury

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 1991
The paradigm of reperfusion is one that will test the skills of the critical care practitioner. This syndrome has been implicated in many of the disorders commonly encountered in the intensive care unit. As research continues and more knowledge is gained into the evolution of this process, many of the complications caused by this affliction will be ...

Reperfusion Injury

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2006
The restoration of blood flow to ischemic tissues causes additional damage, which is termed reperfusion injury. All tissues are susceptible to reperfusion injury, but this susceptibility varies between tissues. Reperfusion has wide clinical relevance. It influences the outcome of patients after myocardial infarction, stroke, organ transplantation, and ...

Reperfusion Injury

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1992
In conclusion, a large body of evidence demonstrates that reperfusion of ischemic intestine results in significant microvascular and parenchymal cell injury. Reperfusion injury appears to be mediated by both reactive oxygen metabolites and activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

Mechanisms of Reperfusion Injury

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1994
Reperfusion of ischemic organs can result in tissue injury that is manifested as microvascular and parenchymal cell dysfunction. Reactive oxygen metabolites and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) have been implicated in the pathobiology of reperfusion injury.

Pathophysiology of reperfusion injury

2011
INTRODUCTION Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury (IRI) is defined as the paradoxical exacerbation of cellular dysfunction and death, following restoration of blood flow to previously ischaemic tissues. Reestablishment of blood flow is essential to salvage ischaemic tissues.

Cytokines and Reperfusion Injury

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1993
Myocardial dysfunction following prolonged ischemia and reperfusion is at least partially dependent upon adhesion of neutrophils to myocardial and endothelial cells. Neutrophils are thought to contribute to reperfusion injury by two mechanisms: impairment of the microvasculature by physical obstruction, and secretion of products that damage ...

Myocardial Reperfusion Injury

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 1990
A review of the mechanism of ischemic-reperfusion injury, proposed interventions to prevent injury, and future directions have been presented to enhance the practitioner's knowledge of this new, exciting concept in myocardial injury. There is increasing evidence in the literature that reperfusion injury may occur in other organ systems and is ...

Hyperoxia during reperfusion is a factor in reperfusion injury

Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 1989
Imposition of ischemia should result in accumulation of lactic acid with an attendant drop in pH. Subsequent reperfusion would result in hyperoxia, in the affected tissue, due to the Bohr Effect. O2- should therefore be produced in greater than normal amounts, due to this transient hyperoxia, and may contribute to reperfusion injury.
