Histologic changes of ischemic/reperfusion injury in kidney. (A) Sham group; (B) Control-IR group; (C) Dex-IR group; (D) arrow a represents renal tubular necrosis; (E) arrow b represents renal tubular dilation; (F), arrow c, represents peritubular capillary congestion in outer medulla; (G), histologic scores of renal tubular necrosis; (H) histologic score of renal tubular dilation; (I) histologic scores of peritubular capillary congestion in outer medulla, * Two rats scores 1 in the IR-Dex group. Sham indicates sham operation; Control‒IR (ischemia/reperfusion), left kidney ischemia for 60 min and reperfusion; Dex (dexmedetomidine)‒Sham, sham operation and infusion of dexmedetomidine; Dex‒IR, pre-ischemia infusion of dexmedetomidine 30 min before left kidney ischemia; IR‒Dex, post-ischemia infusion of dexmedetomidine 30 min after reperfusion of the left ischemic kidney.
