Advances in intervention measures for hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury / 中华肝胆外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury is an inevitable clinical phenomenon during the liver transplantation. The mechanism of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury is complex, with reactive oxygen species, inflammatory factors, calcium overload, neutrophils and Kupffer cells involved. If injury continues to getting worsen, liver cells will undergo necrosis, apoptosis, and autophagy. Interventions for hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury mainly include ischemic preconditioning, drug pretreatment, chemical pretreatment, mild hypothermia pretreatment, and machine perfusion and gene-targeted therapy in recent years. With the indepth research of injury mechanism, new intervention methods continue to emerge, which will bring new ideas for clinical prevention and treatment of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury.
