    Cytokine response in lower extremity ischaemia/reperfusion
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2004) Ege, T; Us, MH; Sungun, M; Duran, E
    We studied the local and systemic concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines produced during acute lower extremity ischaemia and following reperfusion in 19 patients undergoing thromboembolectomy of the femoral artery. Blood samples were taken from the femoral vein (local response) and radial artery (systemic response) in the ischaemic (baseline) phase, and 2, 12 and 24 h post-reperfusion. Associated lung injury was measured by the alveolar-arterial (A-a) oxygen gradient and post-reperfusion femoral vein plasma concentrations of creatinine kinase and lactic dehydrogenase were also measured. Local and systemic concentrations of interleukin (IL)-2 receptor and IL-6 (but not IL-1beta) increased significantly after reperfusion. IL-8 concentration increased significantly in the radial artery. The high and progressively increasing concentration of IL-6 in the femoral vein suggests local production. The parallel increase in creatinine kinase concentration and A-a oxygen gradient indicates that IL-6 plays an important role in acute arterial occlusion and reperfusion injury.

    Importance of pulmonary artery perfusion in cardiac surgery
    (W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2004) Ege, T; Huseyin, G; Yalcin, O; Us, MH; Arar, C; Duran, E
    Objective: To investigate the importance of pulmonary artery perfusion in cardiac surgery. Design: Prospective randomized study. Setting: University hospital. Participants: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Interventions: Patients in whom the cross-clamp was applied only to the aorta were defined as group 1 (n = 11) and patients in whom the cross-clamp was applied to both the aorta and pulmonary artery were defined as group 2 (n = 11). Measurement and Results: Tissue samples obtained from the lower lobe of the left lung before CPB, 20 minutes after cross-clamping, and 20 minutes after declamping were examined under light and electron microscopes. Electron microscopic examination revealed changes in the blood-air barrier, epithelia[ cells, pneumocytes, and basal membrane were more prominent in group 2. Changes in the leukocyte, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts of blood samples obtained from the right atrium and right superior pulmonary vein before CPB and 5, 30, 60, and 90 minutes after the removal of clamp were also investigated. The transpulmonary difference was statistically significant at 5 and 30 minutes after declamping in group 1. In group 2, transpulmonary differences continued to be significant at 5, 30, 60, and 90 minutes after declamping. There was no difference between groups in terms of PaO2/F1O2 ratio before CPB (group 1: 342.0 +/- 80.0 mmHg, group 2: 349.0 +/- 67.0 mmHg); however, a statistically significant difference was found between the groups 2 hours after declamping (group 1: 418.0 +/- 87.0 mmHg and group 2: 290.0 +/- 110.0 mmHg; p = 0.007). Conclusion: Pulmonary artery perfusion was found to be important in cardiac surgery. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
