Ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is caused by endothelial and subendothelial damage by neutrophil-derived oxidants.
Compartment syndrome is a unique form of ischaemia of skeletal muscle which occurs despite patency of the large vessels. Decompression allows the influx of activated leucocytes which cause further injury.
Introduction. Recently, oxidative stress has been implicated in the development of osteonecrosis. Here we focused on vitamins with marked antioxidant potency to see whether their use might prevent the development of osteonecrosis associated with corticosteroid administration. Methods. Fifteen male Japanese white rabbits weighing about 3.5 kg were injected once into the right gluteal muscle with methylprednisolone (MPSL) 40 mg/kg (S Group). Ten other rabbits, in addition, received consecutive daily intravenous injections of vitamin E 50 mg/kg starting from the day of MPSL administration (E Group), and 10 other animals similarly received consecutive daily intravenous injections of
