Trial summary

Numerous studies Have shown that limb ischemic preconditioning can protect vital organs (including the heart) from ischemia-reperfusion injury,which has a broad application prospect.But its mechanism is still unclear. Evidence showed that humoral mechanisms may play an important role. Read more about this study

About this study

Numerous studies Have shown that limb ischemic preconditioning can protect vital organs (including the heart) from ischemia-reperfusion injury,which has a broad application prospect.But its mechanism is still unclear. Evidence showed that humoral mechanisms may play an important role. This study was carried out on the limb ischemic preconditioning in healthy volunteers, collected their serum at different time points before and after treatment,classified and identified the serum proteins during different periods of limb ischemic preconditioning,by using methods including high abundant protein removal,Two-dimensional electrophoresis chromatography and mass spectrometry,then analysed activation and synthesis of the proteins in order to search for the proteins or peptides whose synthesis was activated by ischemic preconditioning. This study will be the first systemic explore of the changes in serum proteins of limb ischemic preconditioning in human body,and lay theoretical basis for the clinical application of limb ischemic preconditioning and for further explore of its humoral mechanism,thus provide clues for searching for protein or peptide having protective effects for organs.

We aim to assess whether limb ischemic preconditioning protects remote tissue or organs through a humoral mechanism.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • limb ischemia preconditioningProcedure or surgery

    Also called remote ischemia preconditioning

    limb ischemic preconditioning consists of three 5-min cycles of left upper limb ischemia induced by a blood pressure cuff placed on the left upper arm and inflated to 200 mmHg,with an intervention 5-min of reperfusion during which the cuff was deflated.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Transient limb ischemia would change expression of several serum proteins in humans,indicating a humoral mechanism for its organ protection.

    Proteomics analysis of the serum proteins.

    Measured: two years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. A questionnaire study of the acceptability of transient limb ischemia in healthy conscious subjects.

    Transient limb ischemia as a remote ischemic preconditioning stimulus has been shown an effective and non-invasive strategy to protect remote tissue or organs from an extended ischemic event. But the acceptability of human subjects remains unknown. Our study aims to assess the acceptability of this transient limb ischemia protocol in healthy conscious subjects.

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing limb ischemia preconditioning in people with Ischemic Preconditioning, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Transient limb ischemia would change expression of several serum proteins in humans,indicating a humoral mechanism for its organ protection. (time frame: two years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jul 2010.
