title: [Pharmacologic modification of intestinal reperfusion injury in the animal experiment].
abstract: We evaluated experimentally (80 Lewis-rats) possible pharmacological strategies in the treatment of intestinal reperfusion injury in hypo- and normothermia. We used a specific perfusion solution containing PGI2 or radical scavengers (superoxide dismutase, oxypurinol, tocopherol, ascorbate). Decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) plasma release after reperfusion proved the antioxidative efficiency of the administered radical scavengers (normothermia-control group: MDA increase after 15 min of reperfusion to 160 +/- 30% compared to level at the end of ischemia, oxypurinol: 110 +/- 23%, tocopherol: 112 +/- 12%, ascorbate: 104 +/- 20%; p < 0.05). The ATP/ADP-ratio of the therapy groups was stable in contrast to the control group. Alkaline phosphatase release was significantly diminished under radical scavenger administration (normothermia/15 min reperfusion-control group: 7.7 +/- 0.9 mumol/ls, oxypurinol: 4.4 +/- 0.4 mumol/ls, tocopherol: 3.5 +/- 0.1 mumol/ls, ascorbate: 5.9 +/- 0.3 mumol/ls; p < 0.05). Histologically we observed a mucosa protective effect particularly in the ascorbate group. Other pharmacological strategies are discussed.
