Abstract
Coronary no-reflow occurs commonly during acute percutaneous coronary intervention, particularly in patients with acute myocardial infarction and those with degenerated vein grafts. It is associated with a guarded prognosis, and thus needs to be recognized and treated promptly. The pathophysiology originates during the ischemic phase and is characterized by localized and diffuse capillary swelling and arteriolar endothelial dysfunction. In addition, leukocytes become activated and are attracted to the lumen of the capillaries, exhibit diapedesis and may contribute to cellular and intracellular edema and clogging of vessels. At the moment of perfusion, the sudden rush of leukocytes and distal atheroemboli further contributes to impaired tissue perfusion. Shortening the door-to-balloon time, use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa platelet receptor inhibitors and distal protection devices are predicted to limit the development of no-reflow during percutaneous interventions. Distal intracoronary injection of verapamil, nicardipine, adenosine, and nitroprusside may improve coronary flow in the majority of patients. Hemodynamic support of the patient may be needed in some cases until coronary flow improves.

Abstract
1. The leucocyte-mediated inflammatory response plays a pivotal role in ischaemia-reperfusion injury. P-Selectin and CD11b are important mediators for the recruitment of leucocytes into the endothelium. However, the time-course of changes in P-selectin and CD11b expression during reperfusion is not defined. Magnesium has been shown to have a protective role in reperfusion injury, but the mechanism of its action is not yet clear. 2. In the present study, 90 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three groups, namely a sham-operated group, an IR group (subjected to 45 min of coronary occlusion followed by reperfusion for up to 6 h) and an MgSO(4)-treated group, which received an infusion of MgSO(4) starting 30 min before occlusion and continuing until the onset of reperfusion. The expression of P-selectin on platelets and CD11b on leucocytes, endothelial P-selectin on cardiac microvessels and P-selectin mRNA in myocardial tissue were measured by flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, respectively, at different time points during reperfusion. The degree of myocardial necrosis and arrhythmia was assessed. 3. The present study shows that P-selectin expression on platelets and cardiac microvessels, P-selectin mRNA in myocardial tissue and CD11b expression on leucocytes in the IR group were significantly upregulated compared with the sham-operated group in a time-dependent manner during reperfusion. Treatment with MgSO(4) attenuated the upregulation of P-selectin expression, in addition to inhibiting myocardial necrosis and arrhythmia, but had no effect on CD11b expression on leucocytes. 4. These results suggest that the expression of P-selectin and CD11b is upregulated after reperfusion and magnesium pretreatment plays a cardioprotective role in ischaemia-reperfusion injury, possibly by inhibiting the upregulation of P-selectin expression.

Abstract
Both animal models of experimental myocardial infarction and clinical studies on reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction have provided evidence of impaired tissue perfusion at the microvascular level after initiation of reperfusion despite adequate restoration of epicardial vessel patency. Characteristics of this "no-reflow" phenomenon found in basic science investigations, such as distinct perfusion defects, progressive decrease of resting myocardial flow with ongoing reperfusion and functional vascular alterations are paralleled by clinical observations demonstrating similar features during the course of reperfusion. In experimental animal investigations of coronary occlusion and reperfusion, this no-reflow phenomenon could be characterized as a fundamental mechanism of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. Major determinants of the amount of no-reflow are the duration of occlusion, infarct size, but also the length of reperfusion, as rapid expansion of perfusion defects occurs during reperfusion. Moreover, no-reflow appears to persist over a period of at least four weeks, a period when major steps of infarct healing take place. The significant association of the degree of compromised tissue perfusion at four weeks and indices of infarct expansion, found in chronic animal models of reperfused myocardial infarction, might be the pathoanatomic correlate for the prognostic significance observed in the clinical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass, activation of polymorphonuclear cells is believed to contribute to ischemia-reperfusion injury and subsequent myocardial impairment of function. The early tethering of polymorphonuclear cells to blood vessel walls depends upon recognition of the adhesion molecule P-selectin on endothelium. The purpose of this study was to define the kinetic changes in expression of P-selectin on myocardial vessels in a model of global ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS In a novel recirculating blood-based perfusion system, rat hearts were subjected to 30 minutes of aerobic perfusion, 60 minutes of global ischemia, and 60 minutes of reperfusion, or to 120 minutes of continuous aerobic blood perfusion (with or without leukocyte/platelet depletion). Heart function (left ventricular developed pressure), heart rate, and perfusion pressure were monitored throughout. Hearts were sampled at defined periods for microvascular expression of P-selectin, identified by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS In control (nonperfused) hearts and in hearts subjected to perfusion and ischemia, few cardiac vessels (8% to 16%) expressed P-selectin. After 15 minutes of reperfusion, P-selectin was present on the majority of vessels (77%; p < 0.05) but expression decreased subsequently throughout the remaining duration of reperfusion. Interestingly, upregulation of P-selectin also occurred when hearts were subjected to continuous perfusion alone (no ischemia), but this upregulation was less rapid. Depletion of leukocytes/platelets from the blood perfusate did not modify P-selectin expression. CONCLUSIONS The augmented expression of P-selectin on myocardial vessels during reperfusion of ischemic hearts probably reflects changes induced during global ischemia and by the duration of perfusion through the nonbiological tubing of the circuit. That is likely to mimic the effects initiated during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Abstract
This study addressed the hypothesis that endothelin promotes neutrophil accumulation in ischemic/reperfused myocardium, not only via its direct effect on neutrophils, but also because it mediates post-ischemic endothelial injury. Langendorff-perfused guinea-pig hearts were subjected to 30 min ischemia/35 min reperfusion, and infusion of neutrophils between 15 and 25 min of reperfusion. The infusion of the endothelin ET(A)/ET(B) receptor antagonist, tezosentan, the endothelin ET(A) receptor antagonist, BQ 123 [cyclo(-D-Trp-D-Asp-Pro-D-Val-Leu-], and superoxide dismutase was terminated at reperfusion, 5 min before the start of the neutrophil infusion, to avoid the contact of the drugs with neutrophils. Coronary flow responses to acetylcholine and nitroprusside were used as measures of endothelium-dependent and -independent vascular function, respectively. Neutrophil adhesion and endothelium glycocalyx ultrastructure were assessed in histological preparations. Ischemia/reperfusion resulted in a 54%-impaired acetylcholine response, endothelium glycocalyx disruption, and enhanced neutrophil adhesion (21.6% of microvessels contained neutrophils vs. 2.6% in sham group), the latter prevented by a selectin blocker, sulfatide, 20 microg/ml. These alterations were completely prevented by 0.5 and 5 nM, but not 0.05 nM, tezosentan, and were greatly attenuated by BQ 123, 1 and 10 nM. The glycocalyx-protective effect of these interventions preceded their effect on neutrophil adhesion. Superoxide dismutase, 150 IU/ml, reported before by us to protect post-ischemic endothelium glycocalyx, here prevented the post-ischemic endothelial dysfunction and neutrophil adhesion. The data imply that neutrophil adhesion in ischemic/reperfused guinea-pig heart is a selectin-dependent process, secondary to mostly endothelin ET(A) receptor- and free radical-mediated functional and/or structural changes in the coronary endothelium. Thus, endothelin ET(A)/ET(B) as well as ET(A) receptor antagonists may be useful in attenuation of the inflammatory response in ischemic/reperfused heart. The antagonists may be effective because of their direct effect on neutrophils, as demonstrated by others, and because they provide endothelial protection, as demonstrated here.

Abstract
The therapeutic effects of a selectin inhibitor against lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury were studied in rabbits by using sialyl Lewis X-oligosaccharide. Lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury, as characterized by an impairment of pulmonary gas exchange, clinically resembles that of the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Delayed treatments with sialyl Lewis X-oligosaccharide (55 mg kg(-1) i.v. bolus injection 0.5, 1 or 2 h after lipopolysaccharide administration+36 mg kg(-1) h(-1) i.v. infusion for 5.5, 5 or 4 h, respectively) prevented the lipopolysaccharide-induced impairments in pulmonary gas exchange, as well as the accumulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the lung tissue. In contrast, this agent had no significant effects on lipopolysaccharide-induced systemic hypotension, the decrease in the number of circulating white blood cells and platelets or the decline in blood pH. This is the first demonstration that sialyl Lewis X-oligosaccharide is effective against the impairments in pulmonary gas exchange even if administered 0.5, 1 or 2 h following the lipopolysaccharide injection.

Abstract
Acute renal failure (ARF) in response to ischemia-reperfusion is thought to be associated with neutrophil infiltration. Neutrophil recruitment depends on adhesion molecules, including P-selectin. Our study sought to characterize the role of P-selectin in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) -induced acute renal failure (ARF). In wild-type (wt) and P-selectin-deficient (P-/-) mice (both C57BL/6), ARF was induced by 32 min bilateral renal ischemia, followed by reperfusion (I/R). Wt showed a 12- and 20-fold increase in creatinine at 24 and 48 h after I/R, respectively. Similar changes were seen in blood urea nitrogen (BUN). By contrast, in P-/- creatinine and BUN increased only moderately (fourfold over sham). In wt, renal myeloperoxidase activity, indicating neutrophil infiltration, peaked after 24 h (19-fold over sham). This was significantly attenuated in P-/- (fivefold over sham). Western blot analysis revealed maximum P-selectin expression 12 h after I/R in wt. Immunostaining detected P-selectin in glomerular endothelium and in platelets adherent in glomerular and peritubular vessels. Postischemic injection of P-selectin antibody at 10 min after reperfusion, but not isotype control antibody, protected wt from ARF similar to the protection seen in P-/-. We conclude that blocking P-selectin even after onset of reperfusion protects mice from I/R-induced ARF, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies aimed at blocking P-selectin.

Abstract
Excessive leukocyte accumulation is involved in the pathogenesis of the sepsis-induced acute lung injury. Selectins are essential to the interaction between leukocytes and endothelial cells. In this report, we investigated the role of selectins in the severe lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Significant lung hemorrhage was observed 24 h after the intravenous administration of LPS (1 mg/kg). First, we evaluated the effect of sialyl Lewis X-oligosaccharide (SLeX-OS), a derivative of sialyl Lewis X which is one of the ligands for E-, P- and L-selectins. The treatment with SLeX-OS (26.5 mg/kg iv bolus + 19.8 mg/kg iv infusion) resulted in a decrease of lung hemorrhage by 49.5% (P<0.05 versus the control group). Second, we tested the effect of anti-P-selectin monoclonal antibody (MAb), PB 1.3, to investigate the role of P-selectin. The bolus administration of PB1.3 at a dose of 5 mg/kg attenuated the lung hemorrhage by 74.6% (P<0.05 versus the control group). In addition, we also detected an increase of soluble P-selectin in plasma 24 h after the injection of LPS. These results suggest that P-selectin has a substantial role in the pathogenesis of the lung injury induced by LPS.

Abstract
The prophylactic effects of selectin inhibitors on lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury were studied in rabbits by using sialyl Lewis X-oligosaccharide and PB1.3, an anti-human P-selectin monoclonal antibody. Lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury resembles that of the acute respiratory distress syndrome, in which there is a decrease in arterial blood oxygen tension (PaO2) and an increase in the difference between alveolar and arterial oxygen tension (A-aDO2). Prophylactic treatment with the selectin inhibitors, sialyl Lewis X-oligosaccharide (55 mg kg(-1) i.v. bolus injection immediately before lipopolysaccharide administration + 36 mg kg(-1) h(-1) i.v. infusion for 4 h) and PB1.3 (5 mg kg(-1) i.v. bolus injection immediately before lipopolysaccharide administration), prevented the lipopolysaccharide-induced impairments in pulmonary gas exchange. In contrast, these agents had no significant effects on lipopolysaccharide-induced systemic hypotension, the decrease in the number of circulating white blood cells and platelets, the decline in blood pH, or the increase in arterial CO2 tension (PaCO2). These results indicate that selectin inhibitors including sialyl Lewis X-oligosaccharide and the anti-P-selectin antibody, PB1.3, attenuate lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in rabbits. This is the first demonstration that P-selectin is directly involved in the development of lipopolysaccharide-induced impairments in pulmonary gas exchange.
