Description
Summary:Objective: to study the ability of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) to eliminate impaired phagocytosis-stimulating hepatic function caused by hepatectomy (HE). Material and methods. Experiments were conducted on 82 outbred female albino rats exposed to HE (15—20% of the organ mass) and HBO at 3 ata for 50 min once daily three times within the first three days after surgery. The capacities of neutrophils and monocytes of arterial (aorta) and venous (portal vein, hepatic veins) blood to ingest and digest S.aureus were investigated. Results: Under HBO, the inhibitory impact of HE on the phagocytosis-stimulating ability of the liver to S.aureus was limited for neutrophils and completely precluded for monocytes. In the posthyperoxic period, the phagocytosis-stimulating function of the operated liver was found to be active against the microbe being examined for both types of phagocytes. This was attended by inhibition of the anhepatic mechanisms responsible for the amplified phagocytic activity of neutrophils and monocytes, which were triggered in HE. HBO selectively regulated the arterial and venous blood content of neutrophils, by ingesting and digesting S.aureus as much as possible. HBO prevented the post-HE delay of the neutrophils and monocytes which actively englobed S.aureus in the operated organ. Conclusion: HBO eliminates HE-induced impairment of phagocytosis-stimulating function of the liver and creates conditions for its delayed activation by day 11 posthy-peroxia. Key words: hyperoxia, phagocytosis, regulation, liver, resection.
