Methods: Rats were subjected to cerebral ischemia-reperfusion induced by inserting a nylon thread into internal carotid artery to block the origin of middle cerebral artery and removing the thread later. FDPM (400 mg·kg -1), fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP, 400 mg·kg -1)and magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4, 30 mg·kg -1) were administrated 10 min after the onset of ischemia. Neurological scale, brain infarct area, Malondialdehyde(MDA) content and histopathological changes of brain tissue were studied. Results: FDPM decreased neurological scale, diminished brain infarct area, reduced MDA content and relieved histopathological change of rat brain tissue subjected to ischemia-reperfusion. These effects were more powerful than that of FDP or MgSO 4. Conclusions: It is suggested that FDPM markedly prevented rats against brain damage after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, and its effect was better than that of FDP or MgSO 4.展开更多

The results showed that the NOS activity of neurons in cortex was in- creased significantly at 15 min after MCAO, reached its peak at 30 min after MCAO and returned to normal levels at 60 min after MCAO. The NOS activity of neurons in the magnesium-treated group was decreased significantly as compared with that in the ischemic group at 15 min and 30 ruin after MCAO respectively. The results suggested that magnesium could inhibit the elevated NOS activity of neurons in cortex induced by cerebral ischemia.展开更多

The aim of th is study was to investigate whether allitridum had the effects of pharmacologica l preconditioning and decreasing myocardium apoptosis after ischemic insult. Methods: Pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats underwent 30 min of left anterior descending (LAD) coronary occlusion foll owed by 120 min of reperfusion. Thirty-six rats were divided into three groups randomly: Control group, I/R group and allitridum (G) group. The control and I/R groups with saline, G group with allitridum were administrated 24 h before oper ation. Control group underwent only sham operation; the other two groups underwe nt I/R operation. Infarcted size (IS/AAR %) was measured in I/R and G groups. Ma londialdehyde (MDA), Creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB ), Superoxide dismuta se (SOD)and the apoptosis index (AI) by TUNEL staining were measured in each gro up. In addition, DNA fragmentation by agarose gel electrophoresis was conducted on DNA isolated from these groups. Results: Allitridum p retreatm ent decreased the infarcted size compared with I/R group in IS/ AAR%[(21.85±1. 49)% vs. ( 44.65±4.65)%, P<0.01], CK-MB [(986.40±94.01) vs. (2044.2 5±1 07.28) U/L, P<0.01] and MDA [(3.26±0.35) vs. (4.96±0.46) nmol/mg pro, P<0.01], and SOD level in G group was higher than that of I/R group [(140 .20±12.89)vs. (73.16±11.22) U/mg pro, P<0.01]. AI of I/R group was highe r than that of G group [(13.99±3.05)% vs. (6.97±1.23)%, P<0.01], which was consistent with that in DNA fragmentation by agarose gel electrophoresis. Conclusion: This study indicated that allitridum had the effect of protecting myocardium against I/R injury and decreasing infarcted zone. The e ffect was probably through decreasing myocardium apoptosis in I/R injury.展开更多

Thirty rabbits were randomly divided into control, ischemia and PAM groups. Arterially-perfused rabbit left ventricular preparations were made, and transmural ECG as well as action potentials from both endocardium and epicardium were simultaneously recorded in the whole process of all experiments. In control group rabbit ventricular wedge preparations were continuously perfused with Tyrode's solution, and in ischemia group and PAM groups the perfusion of Tyrode's solution was stopped for 30 min. Then the ischemia group was reperfused with Tyrode's solution and the PAM group with Tyrode's solution containing 2.42 mg/L PAM, respectively. ECG, QT interval, transmural repolarization dispersion (TDR) and action potentials from epicardium and endocardium were simultaneously recorded, and the RIVA of the wedge preparation was observed. Compared with control group, TDR and incidence of RIVA were significantly increased in ischemia group (P〈0.05). The incidence of RIVA in control, ischemia and PAM group was 0/10, 9/10 and 1/10, respectively. Compared with ischemia group, TDR and incidence of RIVA were significantly reduced in PAM group (P〈0.05). Potassium aspartate and magnesium significantly reduce TDR and prevent ventricular arrhythmia in ischemic rabbit heart.展开更多

Methods MIR injury model was obtained by ligating left anterior descending coronary artery 30 min followed by 45 min reperfusion. Sprauge Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups of 10 rats, each. Sham group, MIR group, normal saline group, ADA 9, 18 and 36 mg/kg. ECG was continuously recorded. After reperfusion left ventricular myocardium samples of ischemic area were processed immediately. Myocardial endoxin level, Na++/K++-ATPase, Ca+{2+}-ATPase, Mg+{2+}-ATPase activities, and intramitochondrial Ca+{2+} content were measured. Results Myocardial endoxin level was significantly increased; Na++/K++-ATPase, Ca+{2+}- ATPase , and Mg+{2+}-ATPase activities were remarkably decreased; intramitochondrial Ca+{2+} content was remarkably raised; ST segments of ECG were significantly elevated and occurrence and scores of ventricular arrhythmias were significantly increased in early stage of reperfusion in rats with MIR. In all groups with ADA, myocardial endoxin level was remarkably decreased; Na++/K++-ATPase, Ca+{2+}-ATPase and Mg+{2+}-ATPase activities were drastically increased; intramitochondrial Ca+{2+} content was declined; ST segments and ventricular arrhythmias were improved. Conclusion Myocardial endoxin level was increased in MIR, which implies that the elevated endoxin may be one of major factors inducing MIR injury. This postulate is supported by the observation that ADA has protective and therapeutic effects against MIR injury probably by antagonizing the action of endoxin. The underlying mechanism may be ascribed to restoration of energy metabolism, and attenuation of intracellular Ca+{2+} overload.展开更多

However, there was no report for interstitial calcium concentration dynamics. We investigated the interstitial calcium dynamics in rat myocardial IR model in vivo. A microdialysis system was involved, and the time delay of the system and recovery time was introduced and tested with a fluids switching method. Twelve SD rats were divided into IR or control group. Myocardial IR was induced by ligating(20 min) then releasing(60 min) the suture underlying left anterior descending branch. Mycrodialyisis probe was implanted into the left ventricular myocardium perfusion area for occlusion. Dialysate samples were collected every 10 min. Dialysate calcium concentration was detected with an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Recovery time for the microdialysis system was 20 min, and recovery rate was 16%. Dialysate calcium concentration showed no changes during ischemia, descended immediately after reperfusion, reached the lowest level(67% of baseline value) 20 min after reperfusion, then escalated slowly. Recovery time was an important parameter for mycrodialysis technique, and it should not be neglected and needed to be tested. Our data suggest that interstitial calcium concentration in rats with myocardial IR in vivo kept steady in ischemia, descended rapidly at the initial reperfusion, then rebounded slowly. In conclusion, we introduced the concept of recovery time for microdialysis and provided a simple testing method.展开更多

Methods: Domestic pigs underwent thoracotomy and placement of an ameroid constrictor on the circumflex coronary artery. Four weeks later, Ad. VEGF-B, Ad. LacZ or PBS were administrated directly into the myocardium at 10 sites in the circumflex distribution (109 PFU or 100 μl) according to groups. Echocardiography and ex vivo coronary angiography were performed. The injection sites around myocardium were harvested and subjected to histological analysis and immunochemical staining. Results: E-chocardiography assessment 4 weeks after vector administration demonstrated significant improvement of regional wall systolic function. Collateral vessel development assessed by angiography was also significantly greater in Ad. VEGF-B animals than that in control animals. Vascular density analysis revealed a mean of 43±5 neovessels per high-power field in Ad. VEGF-B group versus 19±4 and 17±6 in Ad. LacZ and PBS group. Conclusion: Direct intramyocardial administration of Ad. VEGF-B can induce focal angiogenesis and result in improvement in regional myocardial function, which may be useful in patients with ischemic heart disease who are not eligible for conventional therapies.展开更多

文摘Summary: To investigate the effect of magnesium on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) of neurons in cortex during early cerebral ischemic period, a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was established. The results showed that the NOS activity of neurons in cortex was in- creased significantly at 15 min after MCAO, reached its peak at 30 min after MCAO and returned to normal levels at 60 min after MCAO. The NOS activity of neurons in the magnesium-treated group was decreased significantly as compared with that in the ischemic group at 15 min and 30 ruin after MCAO respectively. The results suggested that magnesium could inhibit the elevated NOS activity of neurons in cortex induced by cerebral ischemia.
