Article Abstract

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of postoperative hepatic dysfunction and liver failure involving cellular damage to previously ischemic tissues to which blood flow is restored. The reestablishment of blood flow is essential for salvaging ischemic tissues. The reperfusion itself, however, can paradoxically lead to further cellular damage, which involves a multi-factorial process resulting in extensive tissue damage, which can threaten the function and viability of the liver and other organ systems. The following review outlines multiple models for in-lab analysis of the various hepatic IRI mechanisms, including murine, porcine, cell lines, and machine perfusion models.

Electroacupuncture (EA) has demonstrated protective effects against hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) in rat models. This study aimed to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms by which EA exerts its protective effects against HIRI. Gene expression microarray data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were analyzed to identify genes associated with HIRI, followed by differential expression analysis.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a critical factor affecting the outcomes of liver surgeries, with inflammation and apoptosis playing pivotal roles in its pathogenesis. Empagliflozin, an anti-diabetic drug, has demonstrated hepatoprotective effects in various liver diseases, but its role in HIRI remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the protective mechanisms of empagliflozin against HIRI.

Background: This study aims to show the changes in the liver, lung, kidney, and heart in the liver ischemia-reperfusion model in rats and the effect of quercetin on these changes histopathologically and immunohistochemically.

Methods: Eighteen Sprague Dawley rats were classified into three groups: Group 1 sham, Group 2 ischemia-reperfusion (IR), Group 3 ischemia-reperfusion + quercetin (IR+Q). For three days, distilled water was given to Group 1, and quercetin was given to Group 3 via gavage.

Purpose: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence remains a significant burden on global healthcare. Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a common complication in liver surgery and may be a contributing factor to HCC recurrence. Nevertheless, the potential mechanism underlying HIRI-induced HCC recurrence has not been fully elucidated.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury is an important mechanism of liver failure that occurs in many clinical conditions, including massive hemorrhage, major hepatectomy and liver transplantation, and leads to poor outcomes. The underlying cellular and molecular reactions are extremely complex and not completely understood. Anaerobic metabolism, ATP depletion, intracellular acidosis, calcium overload, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, activation of Kupffer cells and neutrophils, platelet aggregation, nitric oxide production, activation of the complement system and overexpression of cytokines and chemokines constitute the main pathophysiological actions and pathways for possible therapeutic strategies.
