Does hypoxic preconditioning induce neuroprotective stanniocalcin-1 in brain via IL-6 signaling?
These findings indicate that IL-6-mediated expression of STC-1 is one molecular mechanism of hypoxic preconditioning-induced tolerance to brain ischemia.
BIPAP ventilation with PEEP levels up to 10 mbar does not affect systemic hemodynamics. Furthermore, neither venous outflow nor portal venous or hepatic artery inflow of the liver are impaired at PEEP levels up to 10 mbar immediately following liver transplantation. Although these results suggest that PEEP ventilation up to 10 mbar does not affect liver hemodynamics, further studies are needed to determine whether these findings could be confirmed for a longer ventilation period with PEEP.
