    Protective effects of trapidil in lung after abdominal aorta induced ischemia-reperfusion injury: an experimental study
    (Springer, 2005) Somuncu, S; Cakmak, M; Erdogan, S; Caglayan, O; Caglayan, F; Akman, H; Kaya, M
    We aimed to investigate the protective effects of trapidil after the occlusion of abdominal aorta and the reperfusion injury in lung. Eighteen New Zealand albino rabbits were used in the study. In six animals [group 1, ischemia-reperfusion (IR) group], the abdominal aorta was exposed and a microvascular clamp was placed in the infrarenal abdominal aorta for 60 min. After the ischemic period, the microvascular clamp was removed and reperfusion was provided for 2 h. After the reperfusion period, the lungs were removed carefully and specimens were prepared for histopathological and biochemical studies in appropriate conditions. In group 2 (study group), trapidil (Rocarnal, Rentschler-UCB GmbH, Kerpen, Germany) was administered intraperitoneally as a single dose 1 h prior to trial, the IR procedure was performed and lung specimens were prepared similar to group 1. In group 3 (sham group), the infrarenal abdominal aorta was exposed and lung specimens were prepared for histopathological and biochemical studies at the end of the study. Histopathological changes, malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO) and total sulfhydryl group (T-SH) levels were evaluated. There was a statistical difference between the IR group and study group regarding NO and MDA levels (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively), but this was not detected between the IR group and the sham group (P > 0.05). There was no statistical difference among the three groups regarding T-SH levels (P > 0.05). While a statistical difference was found between the sham group and study group in the NO level (P < 0.05), no statistical difference was found in the MDA level (P > 0.05). There was a statistical difference in interstitial edema, PMN infiltration and hemorrhage scores among the groups (P < 0.05). There was a statistical difference between the IR group and study group in PMN infiltration (P < 0.05), but this was not detected between the groups in interstitial edema and hemorrhage scores (P > 0.05). There was a statistical difference between IR group and sham group in interstitial edema, PMN infiltration and hemorrhage scores (P < 0.05). Statistical difference was found between the sham group and study group in interstitial edema and hemorrhage scores (P < 0.05), but not in PMN infiltration (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Infrarenal abdominal aortic occlusion and reperfusion causes lung injury. We conclude that trapidil has preventive effects in the lung tissue after IR injury.

    Ultrastructural changes in the contralateral lung tissue following unilateral lung ischemia: An experimental study in rabbits
    (Springer-Verlag, 2004) Kanmaz, T; Cakmak, M; Tap, O; Mete, U; Kaya, M; Yucesan, S
    Purpose. To investigate the acute ultrastructural changes that may occur in the contralateral nonischemic lung tissue after unilateral ischemia of a lung in a rabbit model. Methods. The animals were divided into three main groups of eight; namely, a 2-h procedure group, a 4-h procedure group, and an 8-h procedure group. Each of these groups was further divided into two subgroups of four rabbits each; namely, a control group, given a sham operation without any ischemic insult, and an ischemia group, in which the main pulmonary arteries, the pulmonary veins, and the main bronchi of the left lungs were ligated after thoracotomy. Tissue samples were taken from the left and right lungs to examine the ultrastructural changes after 2, 4, and 8 h of ischemia. Each sample was given a semiquantitative histological injury score. Statistical analysis was done by the Mann-Whitney U-test. Results. Contralateral ultrastructural damage, evident by heterochromatin in the nuclei, mitochondrial degeneration, cisternal widening of the endoplasmic reticulum, increased lipid droplets, and lysosomes, was determined by electron microscopy after unilateral lung ischemia. The contralateral lung injury was significantly correlated with the duration of ischemia. Conclusions. Unilateral lung ischemia affected the bilateral lungs in a rabbit model. Therefore, in operations such as single-lung transplantation, pulmonectomy, or lobectomy, if the procedure is unnecessarily prolonged, the contralateral lung may be damaged, which could seriously affect the prognosis of the patient.
