We read with great interest the recent excellent and comprehensive review of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) by Abu-Amara et al. 1 The review is focused, in part, on the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the regulation of hepatic IRI. We agree with Abu-Amara et al. and other authors

Abstract
Events during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury include: neutrophilβmediated endothelial cytotoxicity and activation, generation of free radicals, triggering of cytokines and chemokines, and activation of adhesion molecules and complement system. This article briefly reviews events occurring during tissue ischemia and reperfusion in relation to free tissue transfers. The consequences of tissue damage at the microcirculatory level are presented. Preventive measures of I/R injury are outlined. Β© 2004 WileyβLiss, Inc. Microsurgery 24:468β475, 2004.

Hepatectomies performed under selective hepatic vascular exclusion are associated with a series of events culminating in ischemia/reperfusion injury, a state that shares common characteristics with situations known to result in global or regional hyperlactatemia. Accordingly, we sought to determine
This study was designed to investigate the changes in plasma and tissue endothelin-Uendothelin-2 (ET) after liver ischemia and to assess the protective effect of anti-ET 1/ET 2 monoclonal antibody (ET antibody) against ischemia-reperfusion injury. The ET levels in the liver tissue, hepatic venous bl
Oxidative stress is an important factor in many pathological conditions such as inflammation, cancer, ageing and organ response to ischemia-reperfusion. Humans have developed a complex antioxidant system to eliminate or attenuate oxidative stress. Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury occurs in a number
