    Aim: We aimed to investigate the effects of HRSS on erythrocyte deformability in lower limb ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury in rats. Methods: Eighteen male Wistar albino rats used in this study. The animals were randomly divided into three experimental groups as control, IR and IR-HRSS. 20 mg.kg-1HRSS was administered (20 mg.kg(-1) i.p)30 min before the procedure. An atraumatic microvascular clamp was placed across the infrarenal abdominal aorta in the IR groups. 120 min ischemia and 120 min reperfusion is applied to the groups. Erythrocytes were obtained from heparinized whole blood samples for deformability measurements. Kruskal-Wallis test was used for independent samples and Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze differences between groups. Results: Ischemia reperfusion was found to increase relative resistance to the control group. The erythrocyte deformability index was significantly higher in IR and IR-HRSS groups than the control group. HRSS application significantly decreased erythrocyte deformability index compared to IR group. Conclusion: IR induced rats decreased erythrocyte deformability was partially corrected by HRSS. We believe that the protective effects of HRSS in IR injury and its use indications can be demonstrated in detail as long as the findings we have reached in our study are supported by other studies.

    The Effect of Proanthocyanidin on Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Skeletal Muscles of Rats
    (Mdpi, 2024) Özer, Abdullah; Koçak, Başak; Sezen, Şaban Cem; Arslan, Mustafa; Kavutçu, Mustafa
    Background and Objectives: Lower limb skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and it is common in several clinical situations such as aortic aneurysms repairment, peripheral arterial surgery, vascular injury repairment, and shock. Although it is generally accepted that oxidative stress mediators have a significant role in IR injury, its precise mechanism is still unknown. Anecdotally, it is sustained not only by structural and functional changes in the organ it affects but also by damage to distant organs. The purpose of this report is to illustrate the effect of proanthocyanidin on IR injury. Materials and Methods: In our study, 18 male Wistar albino rats were used. The subjects were divided into three groups containing six mice each (control, C; ischemia-reperfusion, IR; ischemia-reperfusion and proanthocyanidin; IR-PRO). Intraperitoneal proanthocyanidin was given to the IR and proanthocyanidin groups 30 min before laparotomy, and 1 h ischemia led to these two groups. After one hour, reperfusion started. Muscle atrophy-hypertrophy, muscle degeneration-congestion, fragmentation-hyalinization, muscle oval-central nucleus ratio, leukocyte cell infiltration, catalase enzyme activity, and TBARS were all examined in lower-limb muscle samples after one hour of reperfusion. Results: When skeletal muscle samples were evaluated histopathologically, it was discovered that muscle atrophy-hypertrophy, muscle degeneration-congestion, fragmentation-hyalinization, and leukocyte cell infiltration with oval-central nucleus standardization were significantly higher in the IR group than in the C and IR-P groups. Oval-central nucleus standardization was significantly higher in the IR and IR-PRO groups than in the control group. TBARS levels were significantly higher in the IR group than in the control and IR-PRO groups, while catalase enzyme activity was found to be significantly lower in the IR group than in the control and IR-PRO groups. Conclusions: As a consequence of our research, we discovered that proanthocyanidins administered before IR have a protective impact on skeletal muscle in rats. Further research in this area is required.
