Öğe Assessment of the Effects of Levosimendan and Nigella Sativa on Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Rats(Gazi Univ, Fac Med, 2018) Ozer, Abdullah; Kilic, Yigit; Sezen, Saban Cem; Kucuk, Aysegul; Mardin, Baris; Alkan, Metin; Oktar, LeventObjective: Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a chain of events put in place by tissue ischemia. Reperfusion following the damage of cell causes an active inflammatory response. In our research we tried to evaluate the protective effect of Levosimendan and Nigella Sativa on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Methods: We included twenty-four Wistar albino rats in our research. The rats were randomly divided into four experimental groups. The coronary arteries of rats in Group C (control group) were not occluded or reperfused. Left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated for 30 min to perform myocardial IR and then reperfused for 2 h in the IR (IR), IR-Levosimendan (24 mu g/kg) (IRL) and IR-Nigella Sativa (0.2 mL/kg) (IRNS) group. Results: Inflammation findings were significantly higher in the IR group compared with the C, IR-NS, and IR-L groups (p=0.001, p=0.019, p=0.019, respectively). Compared with the C, IR-NS, and IR-L groups, the microscopic myocardial disorganization was significantly higher among the IR group (p<0.0001, p=0.007, p=0.001, respectively). The light microscopic myocardial tissue interstitial fibrosis levels were significantly higher in the IR group than in the C, IR-NS, and IR-L groups (p<0.0001, p=0.044, p=0.003, respectively). Conclusion: Levosimendan and NS administration at the beginning of myocardial ischemia can provide varying degrees of protection against negative effects of variations in light microscopic inflammation findings, myocardial disorganization degrees and myocardial tissue interstitial fibrosis levels.Öğe Assessment of the effects of levosimendan and thymoquinone on lung injury after myocardial ischemia reperfusion in rats(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2018) Sezen, Saban Cem; Kucuk, Aysegul; Ozer, Abdullah; Kilic, Yigit; Mardin, Baris; Alkan, Metin; Tosun, MuratAim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of levosimendan and thymoquinone (TQ) on lung injury after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Materials and methods: Twenty-four Wistar albino rats were included in the study. The animals were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 experimental groups. In Group C (control group), left anterior descending artery was not occluded or reperfused. Myocardial I/R was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending artery for 30 min, followed by 2 h of reperfusion in the I/R, I/R-levosimendan (24 mu g/kg) (IRL) group, and I/R-thymoquinone (0.2 mL/kg) (IRTQ) group. Tissue samples taken from the lungs of rats were histochemically stained with H&E and immunohistochemically stained with p53, Bcl 2, Bax, and caspase 3 primer antibodies. Results: Increased expression of p53 and Bax was observed (4+), especially in the I/R group. In IRTQ and IRL groups, expression was also observed at various locations (2+, 3+). H&E staining revealed that that the lungs were severely damaged and the walls of the alveoli were too thick, the number of areas examined was increased during the evaluation. Caspase 3 expression was observed to be at an (1+, 2+) intensity that was usually weak and diffuse in multiple areas. Bcl 2 was not found to be expressed in any of the tissues. H&E staining revealed that that the lungs were severely damaged in the I/R group, with the walls of the channels and alveoli thickened and edematous, and also an intense inflammatory cell migration was observed. Immunohistochemical staining was more prominent in inflammatory areas and structures around the terminal bronchioles. Conclusion: The findings in our study have shown that administration of levosimendan and TQ during I/R increases expression of caspase 3, p53, and Bax in lung tissue and has a protective effect on lung as distant organ. We suggest that findings of this study be elucidated with further large-scale clinical studies.Öğe Efect of Levosimendan and Nigella Sativa on Erythrocyte Deformability During Myocardial Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats(Wiley, 2017) Ozer, Abdullah; Comu, Faruk Metin; Kucuk, Aysegul; Kilic, Yigit; Mardin, Baris; Alkan, Metin; Arslan, Mustafa…Öğe Effect of different doses of pregabalin on erythrocyte deformability in rats with lower limb ischemia reperfusion injury(Anaesthesia Pain & Intensive Care, 2017) Ozer, Abdullah; Comu, Faruk Metin; Demirtas, Huseyin; Kilic, Yigit; Mardin, Baris; Ozturk, Levent; Kucuk, AysegulBackground & Objective: Acute ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury observed in the lower extremities occurs especially when a temporary cross-clamp is applied to the abdominal aorta during aortic surgery. Preoperative pregabalin has been used as a part of multimodal analgesia in postoperative pain treatment in recent years. Pregabalin has become one of the increasingly common agents in postoperative analgesia. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of pregabalin on erythrocyte deformability in rats undergoing IR. Methodology: 24 male Wistar albino rats weighing between 200-250 g were used in the study. Rats were randomly divided into 4 groups of 6 rats each (Control, Ischemia-Reperfusion (IR), IR-Pregabalin 50 mg (50 mg/kg), IR-Pregabalin 200 mg (200 mg/kg). Pregabalin was administered intraperitoneally 30 min before the procedure. An atraumatic microvascular clamp was placed across the infrarenal abdominal aorta in the IR groups. Following 120 min of ischemia, the clamp was removed and reperfusion was continued for 120 min. All rats were euthanized by intraperitoneal administration of ketamine (100 mg/kg) and taking blood from the abdominal aorta. Erythrocytes were seperated from heparinized whole blood samples. Deformability measurements were made in erythrocyte suspensions in phosphate buffered saline. A constant flow filtrometer system was used to measure erythrocyte deformability and relative resistance was calculated. Results: It was found that the formation of ischemia reperfusion increases the relative resistance according to the control group (p < 0.0001). It was determined that application of pregabalin 50 or 200 mg did not change erythrocyte deformability in ischemia reperfusion-induced rats (p = 0.632, p = 0.811). Conclusion: The administration of 50 or 200 mg of pregabalin has no negative effect on the erythrocyte deformability in ischemia reperfusion-induced rats. We think that pregabalin can be safely used for analgesia in the cases of IR. However, these findings should be supported by clinical and experimental studies carried out in more detailed and broader series.Öğe Effect of picroside II on erythrocyte deformability and lipid peroxidation in rats subjected to hind limb ischemia reperfusion injury(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2016) Comu, Faruk Metin; Kilic, Yigit; Ozer, Abdullah; Kirisci, Mehmet; Dursun, Ali Dogan; Tatar, Tolga; Arslan, MustafaBackground: Ischemia reperfusion injury (I/R) in hind limb is a frequent and important clinical phenomenon. Many structural and functional damages are observed in cells and tissues in these kinds of injuries. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of picroside II on lipid peroxidation and erythrocyte deformability during I/R in rats. Methods: Rats were randomly divided into four groups-each containing six animals (sham, I/R, sham + picroside II, and I/R + picroside II). The infrarenal section of the abdominal aorta was occluded with an atraumatic microvascular clamp in I/R groups. The clamp was removed after 120 minutes and reperfusion was provided for a further 120 minutes. Picroside II (10 mg.kg(-1)) was administered intraperitoneally to the animals in the appropriate groups (sham + picroside II, I/R + picroside II groups). All rats were euthanized by intraperitoneal administration of ketamine (100 mg.kg(-1)) and taking blood from the abdominal aorta. Erythrocytes were extracted from heparinized complete blood samples. Buffer (PT) and then erythrocytes (PE) were passed through the filtration system and the changes in pressure were measured to investigate the role of serum malondialdehyde and nitric oxide (NO) in lipid peroxidation and erythrocyte deformability index. Results: Deformability index was significantly increased in the I/R group compared to groups sham, sham + picroside-II, and I/R + picroside-II (P<0.0001, P<0.0001, and P=0.007). Malondialdehyde (MDA) and NO levels were evaluated. MDA level and NO activity were also higher in the I/R group than in the other groups. Picroside II treatment before hind limb I/R prevented these changes. Conclusion: These results support that deformability of erythrocytes is decreased in I/R injury and picroside II plays a critical role to prevent these alterations. Further experimental and clinical studies are needed to evaluate and clarify the molecular mechanisms of action and clinical importance of these findings.Öğe Effect of Picroside-2 on Erythrocyte Deformability and Lipid Peroxidation in Rats Subjected to Lower Extremity Ischemia-reperfusion Injury(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015) Comu, Faruk Metin; Kilic, Yigit; Ozer, Abdullah; Kirisci, Mehmet; Dursun, Ali Dogan; Tatar, Tolga; Arslan, Mustafa…Öğe Protective effect of erdosteine on erythrocyte deformability in a rat model of lower limb ischemia/reperfusion injury(Tubitak Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2018) Ozer, Abdullah; Demirtas, Huseyin; Comu, Faruk Metin; Erer, Dilek; Kilic, Yigit; Mardin, Baris; Oktar, G. LeventBackground/aim: The protective effect of erdosteine on local and distant organ injury due to ischemia/reperfusion has been well documented but its effect on erythrocyte deformability needs further investigation. Our aim was to investigate the effect of erdosteine on erythrocyte deformability in the infrarenal aorta of rats undergoing ischemia/reperfusion. Materials and methods: Our study was conducted with 18 Wistar albino rats. Rats were divided into 3 groups: a randomized control group (group 'control', n = 6), an ischemia/reperfusion group without erdosteine (group 'ischemia/reperfusion', n = 6), and an ischemia/reperfusion group with erdosteine at 150 mg kg(-1), intraperitoneally (group 'ischemia/reperfusion - erdosteine', n = 6). Packs of erythrocytes were prepared from heparinized blood samples and deformability measurements were conducted. Results: Comparisons of the control and ischemia/reperfusion - erdosteine groups revealed similar results (P = 0.051). The values of the ischemia/reperfusion group were significantly higher than those of the control and ischemia/reperfusion - erdosteine groups (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.024, respectively). Relative resistance, a marker of erythrocyte deformability, was increased significantly by ischemia/reperfusion compared to the control and ischemia/reperfusion - erdosteine groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion: We detected unfavorable effects of ischemia/reperfusion on erythrocyte deformability, which may lead to disturbance in blood flow and hence tissue perfusion in the infrarenal rat aorta. We also found that erdosteine had beneficial effects by reversing undesirable effects of ischemia/reperfusion. However, these promising results should be further supported by more detailed studies with larger volumes.
