Objective: To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine postconditioning in alleviating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury and inflammation in diabetic mellitus rats.
Methods: Thirty normal male Sprauge Dawley (SD) rats were randomly allocated into 3 groups (n=10), namely the sham-operated group, IR group, and dexmedetomidine postconditioning (DP) group. Similarly, another thirty diabetic SD rats were also randomly allocated into diabetic sham (DM-S) group, diabetic IR (DM-IR) group and diabetic dexmedetomidine postconditioning (DM-DP) group. The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and the rate pressure product (RPP) were recorded at baseline, after 30 min of ischemia, and at 30 and 120 min during reperfusion. Myocardial infarct size was analyzed by TTC double staining method, and plasma levels of CTnI, TNF-a, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-1β were measured at 120 min of reperfusion.
Results: Compared with those in the sham-operated group, normal and diabetic rats in IR and DP groups showed significantly lowered MAP, HR, and RPP and increased levels of plasma CTnI, TNF-a, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-1β levels after 30 min of ischemia and at 30 min and 120 min of reperfusion (P<0.05). Compared with those in the IR group, the normal rats in DP group showed decreased MAP, HR, and RPP at 30 min of ischemia and at 30 min of reperfusion, which increased at 120 min of reperfusion (P<0.05); the infarct size and plasma CTnI, TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-1β levels were decreased while IL-10 was increased in DP group (P<0.05). Compared with those in DP group, the rats in DM-DP group showed similar MAP, HR and RPP (P>0.05) but significantly increased infarct size and plasma CTnI, TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-1β levels (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine postconditioning may produce a cardioprotective effect against myocardial IR injury in normal rats by alleviating inflammation, but can not reduce the release of inflammatory mediators in diabetic rats to improve myocardial infarction.

Objective: Dexmedetomidine (Dex) is a potent agonist of the α2 adrenergic receptor that has been shown to possess sedative and hypnotic properties. Dex can protect against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) by inhibiting ferroptosis. However, these studies were based on Dex post-conditioning, and the role of α2 adrenergic receptors in this process is unclear.

Background: Large colon volvulus is a cause of colic in horses with high morbidity and mortality when not promptly treated. More treatment options are needed to improve the outcome of these cases by protecting against the damage caused by ischaemia and reperfusion injury.
Objectives: To determine the effect of preconditioning with dexmedetomidine prior to induction of ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in a large colon volvulus model in the horse.

Background: The preconditioning effects of dexmedetomidine and propofol on septic acute kidney injury (AKI) have been reported, but the postconditioning effects remain unknown. This study investigated the postconditioning effects of dexmedetomidine, midazolam, and propofol on septic AKI.
Methods: Forty-eight male Wistar rats were intraperitoneally administered lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 8.

Objectives: To observe the protective effects of dexmedetomidine (Dex) postconditioning on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) and to explore its potential molecular mechanisms.
Methods: One-hundred forty-seven male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups receiving the different treatments: Sham, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), Dex, Brusatol, Dex + Brusatol. By the rat model of myocardial IRI, cardioprotective effects of Dex postconditioning were evaluated by assessing serum CK-MB and cTnI levels, myocardial HE and Tunel staining and infarct size.

For localized disease, partial nephrectomy of small tumors continues to be the gold-standard treatment. However, temporary clamping is routinely performed during this process to control renal blood flow, which can cause renal ischemic/reperfusion injury. We evaluated whether dexmedetomidine postconditioning (DPOC) can reduce renal ischemic/reperfusion injury for patients receiving laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN).
