Ischemic diseases of heart and brain are the primary causes of mortality in industrialized
nations. The ischemic injury with the consecutive reperfusion is responsible for the …

With the concept that ischemia-reperfusion injury may contribute to the pathogenesis of
acute pancreatitis, we have quantitatively analyzed the pancreatic microcirculation of rats …

Based on the concept that ischemia is an important factor in the pathogenesis of acute
pancreatitis, we developed a new model of complete ischemia/reperfusion of the pancreas …

We have investigated the effect of bradykinin on microvascular perfusion failure and enzyme
release after ischemia/reperfusion of the pancreas in rats. Using intravital fluorescence …

Background. Ischemia/reperfusion is thought to play an important role in the development of
postimplantation pancreatitis after pancreas transplantation and also in the transition of …

Based on the concept of the “primary lobule” as the microcirculatory unit of human pancreas
that we previously established,(Yaginuma et al., submitted to Path Res Pract), ischemic …

A rabbit model was designed to study the microcirculation of the pancreas with special
reference to changes occurring during acute pancreatitis. Intravital microscopy was used in …

Abstract Background/Aims: Ischemia-reperfusion injury has been studied in various organs.
Effects of leukocyte and platelet depletion on ischemia-reperfusion injury were evaluated …

Recently, protective effects of nitric oxide donors in pancreatic ischemia/reperfusion (IRI)
injury have been described. Their role in post‐ischemic microcirculation was previously not …

Abstract Background/Aim: The pancreas is an organ highly susceptible to ischemic damage.
This discussion reviews the role of ischemia as an etiologic factor in acute pancreatitis …
