Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have studied effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on the development of deep vein thrombosis and inflammatory reaction during total knee arthroplasty using the tourniquet prospectively.
RIPC (four five-minute cycles of occlusion and reperfusion in the upper limb) resulted in significantly decreased the soluble fibrin monomer complex levels after 20 minutes following tourniquet deflation. Our findings suggest that RIPC have an inhibitory effect for thrombus formation immediately after surgery at least in the short term. Moreover, we observed that the reduction of NFκ-B activity and IL-6 production and that increased production of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in the RIPC group. Our data suggest that RIPC attenuate activation of NFκ-B and then modulate the inflammatory response.
