Ischemia-reperfusion injury in the intestines of newborn pigs.

Abstract：

:Although the pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis remains uncertain, ischemia appears to be an important contributing factor to the development of this disorder. Reperfusion plays a major role in ischemia-related injury, and oxygen free radicals produced during reperfusion most likely contribute to the injury. These oxidants can be generated during prostanoid metabolism, which increases during reperfusion of ischemic gut in adult subjects. The present study was designed to: 1) examine the effects of superior mesenteric artery occlusion, e.g. ischemia and reperfusion in vivo on the development of histopathologic intestinal injury; 2) determine whether products of arachidonic acid metabolism, e.g. prostanoids are increased during reperfusion of ischemic gut; and 3) determine whether oxygen free radical scavengers attenuate the injury in newborn pigs. Chronically catheterized placebo-pretreated newborn pigs exposed to ischemia-reperfusion, placebo-pretreated nonischemic control pigs, and polyethylene glycol-superoxide dismutase (SOD) plus polyethylene glycol-catalase (CAT)-pretreated, ischemic pigs were studied by examining changes in intestinal circulation, oxygenation, prostanoids, and tissue injury. In the placebo-pretreated pigs, intestinal blood flow decreased to very low levels during superior mesenteric artery occlusion. During reperfusion, blood flow increased, but remained below baseline. After ischemia, oxygen uptake returned to values that were similar to baseline. Intestinal efflux of the vasodilator 6-keto-prostaglandin F1alpha was evident (p < 0.05 versus no or zero efflux) during early reperfusion. Histopathologic scoring of terminal ileal samples showed significant mucosal necrosis, surface epithelial disruption, lamina propria congestion and hemorrhage, submucosal hemorrhage, edema, and increases in cells compared with the placebo-pretreated nonischemic pigs. In the SOD plus CAT-pretreated ischemic pigs, changes in intestinal blood flow, oxygen uptake, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1alpha efflux, and the pattern of the ileal tissue injury did not differ significantly from the placebo-pretreated ischemic pigs. In summary, superior mesenteric artery occlusion for 1 h and reperfusion for 2 h resulted in severe intestinal ischemia, early postocclusive limited increases in intestinal perfusion and oxygen uptake, efflux of vasodilating prostanoids during early reperfusion, and signs of ischemic tissue injury in the placebo- and SOD plus CAT-pretreated pigs. This study demonstrates that, after superior mesenteric artery occlusion and reperfusion, severe intestinal tissue injury is detected in vivo, prostanoid efflux increases, and SOD plus CAT given just before occlusion does not attenuate the extent of injury in newborn pigs.
