Ischemic preconditioning attenuates acute lung injury after partial liver transplantation.

In conclusion, toxic cytokine and HMGB1 released from failing small-for-size grafts leads to pulmonary adhesion molecule expression, leukocyte infiltration and injury. IP prevents DAMP release and toxic cytokine formation in small-for-size grafts, thereby attenuating ALI. PMID: 29755641 [PubMed]
