    Background: N-Methyl D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor blockers have been shown to have protective effects against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in various tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of amantadine on liver and lung tissue in hepatic I/R injury. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four rats divided into 4 groups: the Sham Group (S), the Amantadine Group (A), the I/R Group (I/R) and the I/R + Amantadine Group (I/R-A). In Group A and Group I/R-A, 45 mg/kg of amantadine was administered before surgery. In Group I/R and Group I/R-A, an atraumatic vascular clamp was applied to the structures in the left portal triad for 45 minutes and reperfusion period was 2 hours after declampage. Malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) enzyme levels were were studied in liver and lung tissues. Additionally tissues were examined histopathologically. Results: No significant difference was observed in tissue MDA, SOD, and CAT levels among four groups (p >0.05). Polymorphonuclear cell infiltration and the scores of hepatocyte degeneration, sinusoidal dilatation, pycnotic core, and necrosis cell were significantly higher in Group I/R than other groups (p<0.05). Regarding to the lung tissue, the neutrophil/lymphocyte infiltration score was significantly lower in Group S and A than in Group I/R (respectively; p= 0.007, 0.011), and it was significantly higher in Group I/R-A than in Group S (p = 0.014). The alveolar wall thickening score was significantly higher in Group I/R than the other groups (p <0.0001). Conclusion: Amantadine may have a protective effect against I/R damage, as it reduces histopathological changes caused by I/R damage.

    Effects of fullerene C60 on liver tissue in liver ischemia reperfusion injury in rats undergoing sevoflurane anesthesia
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Yavuz, Aydin; Tuna, Ayca Tas; Ozdemir, Cagri; Mortas, Tulay; Kucuk, Aysegul; Kasapbasi, Esat; Arslan, Mustafa
    This study aimed to investigate the effects of fullerene C60 on rat liver tissue in a liver ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) model under sevoflurane anesthesia to evaluate the ability of nanoparticles to prevent hepatic complications. A total of 36 adult female Wistar Albino rats were divided into six groups, each containing six groups as follows: sham group (Group S), fullerene C60 group (Group FC60), ischemia-reperfusion group (Group IR), ischemia-reperfusion-sevoflurane group (Group IR-Sevo), ischemia-reperfusion-fullerene C60 group (Group IR-FC60), and ischemia-reperfusion-fullerene C60-sevoflurane group (Group IR-FC60-Sevo). Fullerene C60 100 mg/kg was administered to IR-FC60 and IR-FC60-Sevo groups. In the IR group, 2 h of ischemia and 2 h of reperfusion were performed. At the end of reperfusion, liver tissues were removed for biochemical assays and histopathological examinations. Hepatocyte degeneration, sinusoidal dilatation, prenecrotic cells, and mononuclear cell infiltration in the parenchyma were significantly higher in Group IR than in all other groups. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels were significantly higher in Group IR than in the other groups, and the lowest thiobarbituric acid reactive substances level was in Group IR-FC60 than in the other groups, except for Groups S and FC60. Catalase and Glutathione-S-transferase activities were reduced in the IR group compared to all other groups. Fullerene C60 had protective effects against liver IR injury in rats under sevoflurane anesthesia. The use of fullerene C60 could reduce the adverse effects of IRI and the associated costs of liver transplantation surgery.
