Objective: To observe the protective effect of ischemic postconditioning on ischemic reperfusion injury of rat liver graft and to investigate the possible mechanism.
Methods: Male Sprague Dawley rats were used as donors and recipients of orthotopic liver transplantation, and the period of cold preservation and anhepatic phase were 100 min and 18 min, respectively. Sixty rats were randomly divided into three groups, twelve rats in control group, twenty-four rats in ischemic reperfusion injury group and ischemic postconditioning group respectively. Control group is sham operation group, only the ligaments around liver were cut off; donor livers in ischemic reperfusion injury group were infused through portal vein with heparinized saline before harvested; ischemic postconditioning group: at very onset of reperfusion after donor liver was implanted, several brief reperfusion-ischemia were given before persistent reperfusion of portal vein. Half recipients of ischemic reperfusion injury group and ischemic postconditioning group were taken blood samples and hepatic tissue samples after 2 hours of reperfusion of liver graft. Rest recipients were taken samples of hepatic tissue after 6 hours of reperfusion. Recipients of control group were taken blood and hepatic tissue samples at corresponding time after abdomen was sutured.
Results: Compared with ischemic reperfusion injury group, liver functional parameters, cytokines and peroxidized products contents were lower in ischemic postconditioning group (P < 0.05); meanwhile, the antioxidases contents of hepatic tissue were higher in ischemic postconditioning group than those in ischemic reperfusion injury group (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Ischemic postconditioning could relieve the ischemic reperfusion injury of rat liver graft. Through improving antioxidation capability and cutting down cytokines contents, ischemic postconditioning could apply its protective effect.

Article Synopsis
- Ischemic post-conditioning (I-post C) is a method used to protect lung tissue from damage due to ischemia/reperfusion injury, but the exact mechanisms behind its protective effects are not well understood.
- The study utilized RNA sequencing and various analyses to explore differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in rat lung tissues after treatment with I-post C, identifying significant pathways associated with inflammation and lung protection.
- Results showed that I-post C reduced lung edema and inflammation, with 38 DEGs identified, including key molecules in inflammatory response and signaling pathways, notably downregulating certain inflammatory markers and pathways involved in neutrophil activation.

Ischaemic tolerance induced by remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) has been extensively demonstrated in several preclinical models of cerebral ischaemia. However, animals with common stroke-related comorbidities do not benefit from the recent advances of RIC. Therefore, we investigated two alternative approaches for obese animals with stroke: (1) the efficacy of an additional round of the standard RIC protocol, and (2) the paracrine potential of the blood cell-derived secretome derived from RIC-induced healthy young rats.

Background And Objective: Stroke poses a critical health issue without effective neuroprotection. We explore ischemic postconditioning's (IPostC) potential to mitigate stroke-induced brain injury, focusing on its interaction with disulfidptosis, a novel cell death pathway marked by protein disulfide accumulation. We aim to clarify IPostC's protective mechanisms against stroke through gene sequencing and experimental analysis in mice.

Astrocyte activation plays a pivotal role in accelerating the cascade of neuroinflammation associated with the development of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which sevoflurane postconditioning mitigates neuronal damage through astrocytes by regulating reactive astrocytic Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) modifications. A modified Rice‒Vannucci model in rats and a conditioned culture system established by subjecting primary astrocytes to oxygen glucose deprivation, followed by using the conditioned medium to culture the neuron cell line SH-SY5Y were used to simulate HI insult in vivo and in vitro, respectively.
