Purpose:The comparison after 6h of hemorrhagic shock (HS) treatment with NaCl 7.5% (Hypertonic Saline Solution -SSH) or Ringer Lactate (RL) on liver function and integrity. Methods: Male Wistar rats were submitted to HS (Mean Arterial Pressure -MAP= 45 mmHg) during 60 min and then treated with NaCl 7.5% (SSH, 10% of blood loss, n=8) or Ringer Lactate (RL, 400% of blood loss, n=8). After 6h rats were anesthetized, hepatic function was assessed by bile flow measurement and liver integrity evaluated by determination of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and bilirubin activities. Results: There was no difference in MAP between the groups during the whole experiments. Biliary flow showed a significant recovery after SSH treatment (p<0.05), and significant decrease of ALT (p<0.001) and bilirubin levels (p<0.001) in comparison to RL. Conclusion: Resuscitation of HS with NaCl 7.5% promoted better recovery of liver function and lesser hepatocellular damage after 6h of treatment compared to RL. The improvement is very likely related to increased microvascular perfusion provided by small volume resuscitation. Key words: Ischemia. Reperfusion. Shock, Hemorrhagic. Saline Solution, Hypertonic.

RESUMO Objetivo:Comparar os efeitos após 6 horas do tratamento do choque hemorrágico (CH) com solução de NaCl 7,5% (Solução Salina Hipertônica -SSH) e Ringer Lactato (RL) sobre a função e integridade hepática em ratos. Métodos: Ratos Wistar (n=16) machos foram submetidos a choque hemorrágico controlado (Pressão Arterial Média -PAM = 45 mmHg) durante 60 minutos e após ressuscitados com SSH (10% da perda volêmica, n=8) ou RL (4 vezes o volume sangüíneo retirado, n=8). Após 6 horas a função hepática foi determinada pela quantificação do fluxo biliar. A integridade hepática foi avaliada pelas bilirrubinas e pela alanino aminotransferase (ALT). Resultados: Não foi constatada diferença de PAM entre os grupos durante os experimentos. O fluxo biliar apresentou recuperação significativa no grupo SSH em comparação ao grupo RL (p<0,05). O grupo SSH apresentou diminuição significativa nos níveis de ALT (p<0,001) e das bilirrubinas (p<0,001). Conclusão: Após 6 horas de tratamento do choque hemorrágico a SSH mostrou-se superior ao RL, recuperando a função e a integridade hepatocelular, provavelmente por melhora da perfusão nutricional hepática, e diretamente relacionada ao seu mecanismo de ação.

Purpose:The oxidative stress is an important mechanism responsible for dysfunction after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Glutathione (GSH) low levels after cold storage render the grafts vulnerable to reperfusion injury. Aim of this study was to evaluate GSH and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) liver concentrations, the hepatocellular injury and function in optimal and suboptimal grafts after human OLT. Methods: Liver biopsies were taken in 33 patients before the implant and two hours after reperfusion, allowing determination of GSH, GSSG and oxidative stress ratio (GSH/GSSG). Serum transaminases, prothrombin activity (PT) and factor V were measured to evaluate injury and function respectively. Histopathological injury was analyzed by an index of five parameters. Results: There was a decrease in GSH (p<0.01) after reperfusion (0.323 ± 0.062 ìmol/g to 0.095 ± 0.01 ìmol/g and 0.371 ± 0.052 ìmol/g to 0.183 ± 0.046 ìmol/g) in suboptimal and optimal groups, respectively. An increase of GSSG (p<0.05) occurred after reperfusion (0.172 ± 0.038 ìmol/g to 0.278 ± 0.077 ìmol/g and 0.229 ± 0.048 ìmol/g to 0.356 ± 0.105 ìmol/g) in suboptimal and optimal groups, respectively. A decrease (p<0.01) occurred in the GSH/GSSG ratio after reperfusion (2.23 ± 0.31 to 0.482 ± 0.042 and 2.47 ± 0.32 to 0.593 ± 0.068) in suboptimal and optimal groups, respectively. Histopathological injury scores were higher (p<0.05) in the suboptimal group than in optimal (6.46 ± 0.4 vs. 5.39 ± 1.1) and showed correlation with PT and factor V in the optimal group (p<0.05). Multivariate analysis pointed steatosis as an independent risk factor to histopathological injury (p<0.05). Conclusion: There was a significant GSH depletion and GSSG formation after cold storage and reperfusion due to a similar oxidative stress in optimal and suboptimal grafts, but these levels were not related to graft viability.

RESUMOObjetivo: O estresse oxidativo é um importante mecanismo responsável pela disfunção dos enxertos após transplante de fígado (TF). Sabe-se que níveis baixos de Glutationa reduzida (GSH) deixam os enxertos vulneráveis aos danos de reperfusão. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as concentrações de GSH e da Glutationa oxidada (GSSG), os danos hepatocelulares e a função em enxertos ótimos e subótimos após TF. Métodos: Foram realizadas biópsias em 33 pacientes imediatamente antes do implante e duas horas após a reperfusão, permitindo a determinação do GSH, GSSG e o cálculo do índice de stress oxidativo (GSH/GSSG). Foram medidas as transaminases hepáticas e as atividades da Protrombina (TP) e do Fator V para avaliação dos danos hepatocelulares e da função do enxerto, respectivamente. O dano histopatológico foi avaliado através de um índice de cinco parâmetros. Resultados: Houve uma diminuição nos níveis de GSH (p<0.01) 0.323 ± 0.062 ìmol/g to 0.095 ± 0.01 ìmol/g and 0.371 ± 0.052 ìmol/g to 0.183 ± 0.046 ìmol/g) e aumento nos níveis de GSSG (0.172 ± 0.038 ìmol/g to 0.278 ± 0.077 ìmo...
