Glucose Metabolism in the Warm Ischemia/Reperfusion Injured Kidney of Rabbits:In Vivo Microdialysis and Real-Time Electrochemical Detection / 中国微创外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the change of glucose metabolism in warm ischemia/reperfusion injured kidney of rabbits in vivo by microdialysis and real-time electrochemical detection.Methods A total of 20 New Zealand rabbits were divided into experiment and control groups(10 in each).After anesthesia by intravenous injection of barbitone,an oblique incision under the 12th rid was made in the animals to expose the right kidney and the right renal artery and vein.Afterwards,a microdialysis probe was placed into the dorsal renal cortex along the long axle of the kidney.After 60 minutes to equilibrate,an electrochemical detection system was used to continuously determine the concentration of glucose in the renal cortex before ischemia.Then,ischemia/reperfusion injury model was established by clamping the renal pedicle for 60 minutes followed by perfusion for 60 minutes.The control group received the same intervention without clamping the renal pedicle.The glucose concentration of the microdialysis samples were analyzed before,during,and after the ischemia.Results The reaction of the glucose electrode to the electric current was linearly correlated with the concentrations of glucose,and the rate of microdialysis probe recycling was(63.6?2.1)%.The concentration of glucose in the renal cortical interstitial samples were(1.89?0.37),(0.69?0.12),and(0.62?0.14)mmol/L respectively before,during,and after the warm ischemia.During the ischemia phase,the mean concentration of glucose decreased by(36.7?2.4)% from the base level(LSD test,P=0.000).The glucose concentration of the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control at both ischemia and reperfusion phases(t=-11.975,P=0.000;t=-11.993,P=0.000,respectively).Conclusions In vivo microdialysis combined with electrochemical detection provides a sensitive and real-time method for measuring the glucose concentration in warm ischemia/reperfusion injured kidney,which can suggest the ischemic condition of the renal cortex.
