Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Adult patients Major upper abdominal surgery Major colorectal surgery right hemicolectomy
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: We will not include patients known with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), because of pre-existing effects of the disease on the inflammatory status of the gut. Acute major abdominal procedures will not be included, because of the possible pre-existing effects of trauma or hemorrhage on the gut. We will exclude those patients who have not given informed consent.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Firstly, we will compare cellular damage (I-FABP, ILBP, ZO-1) in the tissue, which was subjected to ischemia-reperfusion with the tissue, which was not subjected to ischemia-reperfusion. Secondly, we will compare complement activation (eg MBL, TCC) in the tissue, which was subjected to ischemia-reperfusion with the tissue, which was not subjected to ischemia-reperfusion. Thirdly, we will compare inflammation (eg Calprotectin, MPO, NGAL) in the tissue, which was subjected to ischemia-reperfusion with the tissue, which was not subjected to ischemia-reperfusion. Fourth, we will study the consequences of intestinal I/R on intestinal barrier function loss, by comparing the translocation of sugars from the gut lumen to the circulation, before ischemia, after ischemia and after 30 and 120 minutes reperfusion. Fifth, we will study macroscopic mucosal changes during intestinal IR using a endo-videocapsule. Data will be analyzed in collaboration with the department of Gastroenterology. At last we want to study the gene expression patterns in tissue samples of IR exposed intestine, in order to identify possible targets for preventive and therapeutic interventions. | — |
