Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence and severity of anaphylactoid reactions to colloid volume substitutes

TL;DR: All available colloid volume substitutes carry the risk of anaphylactoid reactions, but the frequency of severe reactions was low for plasma-protein solutions, hydroxyethyl starch, 0-008% for dextran, and 0-038% for gelatin solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Orthogonal polarization spectral imaging: a new method for study of the microcirculation.

TL;DR: Orthogonal polarization spectral (OPS) imaging is reported here on, a new method for imaging the microcirculation using reflected light that allows imaging of the micro Circulation noninvasively through mucus membranes and on the surface of solid organs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Platelet-endothelial cell interactions during ischemia/reperfusion : The role of P-selectin

TL;DR: First in vivo evidence is provided that platelets accumulate in the postischemic microvasculature early after reperfusion via P-selectin-ligand interactions, indicating that platelet recruitment and subsequent activation might play an important role in the pathogenesis of I/R injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

The beneficial effect of human recombinant superoxide dismutase on acute and chronic rejection events in recipients of cadaveric renal transplants.

TL;DR: Rh-SOD has the potential to mitigate free radical-mediated reperfusion injury-induced acute endothelial cell damage that potentially may contribute to the process of chronic obliterative rejection arteriosclerosis and in accordance with the "response-to-injury hypothesis" in the pathogenesis of general atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microvascular ischemia-reperfusion injury in striated muscle: significance of "reflow paradox"

TL;DR: The concept that reactive oxygen metabolites contribute to I/R-induced reflow paradox, resulting in leukocyte accumulation, adherence, and increase in microvascular permeability is supported.
