- Abstract
Purpose: Midgut volvulus is associated with intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury and can progress to severe intestinal damage. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) reduces IR-induced injury in distant organs. The aim of this study was to investigate whether RIC protects the intestine from IR injury. Methods: We investigated intestinal IR injury in 3 weeks old SD rats. Animals underwent: (i) sham laparotomy, (ii) intestinal IR injury, (iii) intestinal IR + RIC during ischemia, or (iv) intestinal IR + RIC after reperfusion. Intestinal IR injury was achieved by 45 min occlusion of superior mesenteric artery followed by de-occlusion. RIC was administered via four cycles of 5 min of hind limb ischemia followed by 5 min reperfusion. Animals were sacrificed 24 h after surgery and the ileum was harvested for evaluation. Results: Intestinal injury was present after IR. However, this injury was reduced in both IR + RIC groups. Expression of inflammatory cytokine IL6 was lower in IR + RIC groups compared to IR alone. Carbonyl protein was also significantly lower in IR + RIC compared to IR, indicating lower oxidative stress in both IR + RIC groups. Conclusion: Remote ischemic conditioning attenuated intestinal injury, inflammation, and oxidative stress in experimental intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Remote ischemic conditioning may be useful in children with midgut volvulus to reduce the intestinal injury. Level of evidence: Experimental study. Type of study: Animal experiment.
