Methods From June, 1999 to May,2000,45 children (30 male, 15 female) undergoing correction of cardiac defects were divided into three groups randomly: group Ⅰ no myocardial ischemia,group Ⅱ myocardial ischemia less than 60 minutes, group Ⅲmyocardial ischemia 】 60 minutes. There were no significant differences in the three groups in age, sex ratio, C/T ratio, or left ventricular function. Blood samples for analysis were collected before skin incision and at time intervals up to 6 days postoperatively. Analysis of creatine kinase MB.LDH and cardiac-specific troponin I was used for the detection of myocardial damage. Meantime, the ECG was checked for myocardial infarction. After the reperfusion, myocardial tissue was obtained from the free wall of right ventricle myocardial structure studies. Results The level of cTnI was increased展开更多

SD rats were divided into three groups: IP group, I/R group and CON group. The IP group was further divided into PC1-, 2-, 3-, and PC1+, 2+, 3+ groups according to preconditioning procedure. The rats received surgical procedure and underwent left coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion. We analyzed the infarct size by TTC staining, measured serum myocardial enzymes, studied the β-AR Bmax and Kd by radioligand binding assay of receptors, checked the activity of AC and PKA by the method of biochemistry and examined the content of cAMP by radioimmunoassay. The infarct area was much smaller in the IP group than in the I/R group (P〈0. 001), while the enzymes were significantly higher in I/R (P〈0. 001). The Bmax of β-AR in IP was much higher than that in I/R (P〈0. 001), but no difference in Kd could be seen between IP and I/R groups. In IP, the activity of AC and PKA and the content of cAMP were higher than those in I/R (P〈0.05, 0. 002 and 0. 001, respectively). In the procedure of preconditioning, the content of cAMP and the activity of PKA showed the characteristic of cyclic fluctuation. Ischemic preconditioning can protect the heart from necrosis and reduce endo-enzyme leakage. The system of β-adrenergic signal transduction pathway probably takes part in the protection effect of the IP, which might be elicited by the PKA .展开更多

The search terms were "myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury", "ischemia preconditioning","ischemia postconditioning", "remote preconditioning" and "remote postconditioning".Study selection (1) Clinical and experimental evidence that both RIPC and RIPOC produce preservation of ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) of myocardium and other organs, (2) Studies related to the potential mechanisms, by which remote ischemic conditioning protects myocardium against IRI.Results Both RIPC and RIOPC have been shown to attenuate myocardial IRI in laboratory animals. Also, their cardioprotective effects have appeared in some clinical studies. Except the external, the detailed internal mechanisms of remote ischemic conditioning have been generally described. Through these descriptions better protocols can be developed to provide improved cardioprotective procedures.Conclusions Remote ischemic conditioning is an endogenous cardioprotective mechanism from outside the heart that protects against myocardial IRI and represents a general form of inter-organ protection. Remote ischemic conditioning may have an immense impact on clinical practice in the near future.展开更多
