Abstract:
Objective To investigate the alleviative effects of lidocaine postconditioning on pulmonary injury following ischemia reperfusion. Methods Seventy-two adult SD rats were randomized to 4 groups; sham group, ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) group, ischemic postconditioning(IPC) group and lidocaine postconditioning group. The pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion model was established by occlusion of the left hilum of lung for 45 min and the reperfusion was taken by removing the clamp for 2 h. At the moment of reperfusion, lidocaine 4 mg/kg was injected as a priming dose following a continuous rate of 4 mg/(kg · h). PaO_2, TNF-α, W/D of left lung, the level of MDA of left lung tissue were measured. At the end of reperfusion left lung was removed for microscopy. Results After reperfusion PaO_2 of lidocaine group was much higher than that of I-R group (P<0.05). Lidocaine postconditioning induced a significant decrease in the level of MDA of lung tissue[(7. 03±1.17) μmol/L] compared with ischemia reperfusion group [(8.77±1.42) μmol/L] (P<0.05). Lidocaine postconditioning resulted in a lower level of TNF-α [(1. 69±0.34) μg/L] than that of I-R group [(2. 52±0. 54) μg/L] (P < 0. 05). Microscopic examination showed that lidocaine postconditioning could decrease the level of edema of left lung and accumulation of neutro-phils. Conclusion Lidocaine postconditioning exerts a protective effect on pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury administered in the beginning of reperfusion. The effect may be explained by to the antioxidant effect and the suppression of expression of TNF-α.
