Does induction of heat-shock protein 72 protect against ischemia/reperfusion in rat small intestine?
The mechanism of heat stress-induced protection against intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury involves inhibition of leukotriene B4 production and subsequent prevention of neutrophil activation and chemotaxis.
Shunting during CEA can lower the rate of CH and CHS by shortening the time of intraoperative cerebral ischemia, but didn't increase the rate of other complications. Using shunt may be an effective method of preventing CHS after CEA, especially for the high risk patients according to preoperative evaluation.
