Résumé

Both pre- and postconditioning have been shown to protect the liver parenchyma from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury during hepatectomy by altering the production of NO. However, to date there is no study to compare their effect on the inducible nitric oxide synthase ( We designed a prospective experimental cohort comprising of three groups (sham group-SG, preconditioning-PrG and postconditioning group-PoG) and consisting of 10 animals per group. All animals underwent extended hepatectomy (70%) under prolonged warm ischemia either after preconditioning or followed by postconditioning or without any protective maneuver (SG). Following reperfusion blood samples and liver biopsies were obtained at the start of reperfusion (0 hours), at 6 and 12 hours post reperfusion. At the beginning of reperfusion iNOS expression was significantly reduced in the PoG in comparison to the SG (Kruskal-Wallis test, P=0.012; Mann-Whitney U test, P<0.0005 Bonferroni correction) and continued to remain at low levels until 6 hours post reperfusion (Kruskal-Wallis test, P=0.01; Mann-Whitney U test, P<0.0005-Bonferroni correction) This difference was eliminated by 12 hours. No significant differences were found in the expression of eNOS between groups and within time measurements. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were found increased at the start of reperfusion; their levels continued to increase by 6 hours in all groups, however only in the PoG the increase attended statistical significance at 12 hours after reperfusion. ALT levels presented only minor alterations during the course of reperfusion. The PrG was found to have more intense hepatocellular injury at the start of reperfusion than the PoG however, that appeared to gradually settle by 12 hours in contrast to PoG where the hepatocellular injury continued to deteriorate. PoG appeared to decrease iNOS overexpression more effectively than PrG in comparison to animals who have undergone no protective maneuver (SG). However, PrG was more effective than PoG in ameliorating the hepatocellular injury observed at 12 hours after the ischemic insult.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Both pre- and postconditioning have been shown to protect the liver parenchyma from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury during hepatectomy by altering the production of NO. However, to date there is no study to compare their effect on the inducible nitric oxide synthase (
METHODS METHODS
We designed a prospective experimental cohort comprising of three groups (sham group-SG, preconditioning-PrG and postconditioning group-PoG) and consisting of 10 animals per group. All animals underwent extended hepatectomy (70%) under prolonged warm ischemia either after preconditioning or followed by postconditioning or without any protective maneuver (SG). Following reperfusion blood samples and liver biopsies were obtained at the start of reperfusion (0 hours), at 6 and 12 hours post reperfusion.
RESULTS RESULTS
At the beginning of reperfusion iNOS expression was significantly reduced in the PoG in comparison to the SG (Kruskal-Wallis test, P=0.012; Mann-Whitney U test, P<0.0005 Bonferroni correction) and continued to remain at low levels until 6 hours post reperfusion (Kruskal-Wallis test, P=0.01; Mann-Whitney U test, P<0.0005-Bonferroni correction) This difference was eliminated by 12 hours. No significant differences were found in the expression of eNOS between groups and within time measurements. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were found increased at the start of reperfusion; their levels continued to increase by 6 hours in all groups, however only in the PoG the increase attended statistical significance at 12 hours after reperfusion. ALT levels presented only minor alterations during the course of reperfusion. The PrG was found to have more intense hepatocellular injury at the start of reperfusion than the PoG however, that appeared to gradually settle by 12 hours in contrast to PoG where the hepatocellular injury continued to deteriorate.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
PoG appeared to decrease iNOS overexpression more effectively than PrG in comparison to animals who have undergone no protective maneuver (SG). However, PrG was more effective than PoG in ameliorating the hepatocellular injury observed at 12 hours after the ischemic insult.
