Effect of N-acetylcysteine on lung injury induced by skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion: histopathological study in rat model

Abstract: PURPOSE:To investigate whether N-acetylcysteine, a free radicals scavenger has a protective effect against lung injury as a remote organ after skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion. METHODS: Twenty Wistar male rats were divided randomly into two experimental groups: group ischemia-reperfusion (group I) and group ischemia-reperfusion + N-acetylcysteine (group II). All animals were undergone two hours of ischemia by occlusion femoral artery and 24h of reperfusion. Before clamped the femoral artery, 250 IU heparin… Show more

“…Major reasons of acute extremity ischemia are thrombosis and embolism 3 . Additionally ischemia reperfusion (IR) can be caused by numerous events such as trauma, various orthopaedic surgery and freeflap reconstruction 4,5 . A huge number of consecutive events are initiated by free oxygen radicals.…”

“…Metabolites of erdosteine have two sulfhydryl groups and they take part in free radical scavenging and antioxidant activity (13). Free radical scavenging properties of erdosteine have been shown in experimental and clinical studies (1,6,7,11).…”

“…Temporary aortic cross-clamping is accompanied by I/R injury and a systemic infl ammatory response syndrome that can lead to non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, or acute respiratory distress syndrome in abdominal aortic surgery (13,14). In the development of lung injury, the excessive generation of reactive oxygen radicals, polymorphonuclear sequestration in pulmonary microvasculature, increased endothelial permeability and interstitial edema have been suggested (15).…”
