Özet

Background. Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion is a common medical event associated with both clinical and experimental distant organ injury. In particular, the lung tissue appears to be susceptible to injury resulting from systemic inflammatory mediator activation. Drotrecogin alpha (activated) or recombinant human activated protein C has antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and profibrinolytic properties. We hypothesized that APC infusion would decrease lung inflammation and ameliorate lung injury resulting from intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IIR). A rat model of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion was used to test this hypothesis, and several parameters of lung injury were measured in lung samples.
