ADSCs attenuated H/R injury in endothelial cells by promoting proliferation ability and reducing apoptosis, with an increase in Vascular endothelial growth factor level, especially in the context of hypoxic preconditioning. This approach suggests the potential for an easy and safe method to reduce I/R injury associated with skin flap transplantation surgery.

These patients have a high incidence of kidney injury, which independently increases the risk of mortality. As valproic acid (VPA) treatment has been shown to improve survival in animal models of lethal trauma, we hypothesized that it would also attenuate the degree of acute kidney injury. We analyzed data from two separate experiments where swine were subjected to lethal insults. Model 1 hemorrhage (50% blood volume hemorrhage followed by 72-h damage control resuscitation).Model 2 polytrauma (traumatic brain injury, 40% blood volume hemorrhage, femur fracture, rectus crush and grade V liver laceration).Animals were resuscitated with normal saline (NS) +/- VPA 150 mg/kg after a 1-h shock phase in both models (n=5-6/group). Serum samples were analyzed for creatinine (Cr) using colorimetry on a Liasys 330 chemistry analyzer. Proteomic analysis was performed on kidney tissue sampled at the time of necropsy. VPA treatment significantly (P < 0.05) improved survival inboth models. (Model 1 80% vs 20%; Model 2 83% vs. 17%).Model
