Does heat shock pretreatment protect pulmonary isografts from subsequent ischemia-reperfusion injury?
Heat pretreatment of the donor 6 hours before harvest results in increased synthesis of HSP70, which offers a dramatic protective effect against subsequent ischemia-reperfusion injury in the lung isograft.
This is one of the first reports on neuronal regulation of intestinal motility through CB-dependent pathways with potential application in the treatment of inflammatory and functional GI disorders.
