Transmyocardial revascularization ameliorates ischemia by attenuating paradoxical catecholamine-induced vasoconstriction

Background  The mechanism by which transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) offers clinical benefit is controversial. We hypothesized that TMR ameliorates ischemia by reversing paradoxical catecholamine-induced vasoconstriction. Methods and Results  Chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy was created in 11 dogs by placing ameroid constrictors on the proximal coronary arteries and their major branches. Six weeks later, 35 channels were created percutaneously in the left circumflex artery region, with the left anterior descending artery region serving as control. At rest, wall thickening and myocardial blood flow did not change in the treated region, whereas they deteriorated in the control bed. Contractile and myocardial blood flow reserve increased in the treated region but deteriorated in the control region. There was diminished iodine 123 metaiodobenzylguanidine uptake and a significant reduction in noradrenergic nerves in the treated region compared with the control region, with a corresponding reduction in tissue tyrosine hydroxylase activity. Conclusions  We conclude that the absence of a catecholamine-induced reduction in MBF reserve and contractile reserve in the TMR-treated region with associated evidence of neuronal injury indicates that the relief of exercise-induced ischemia after TMR most likely results from reversal of paradoxical catecholamine-induced vasoconstriction. These findings may have implications in selecting patients who would benefit from TMR. Supported in part by grants from the National Institutes of Health (R01-HL66034 and K-08-HL074290-01). Bethesda.

Micro-CT observation of rat dental pulp healing after pulpotomy in in vivo study

We report the newly developed Micro-CT, which allows us to observe the individual animal over a long experimental period and to compare changes in pulp tissue in relation to growth and aging without considering individual differences. Further, we used pathological examination to prove similar the result observing from Micro-CT. We have examined wound healing of teeth after pulpotomy in rats, and could clearly observe histopathological changes in the affected teeth and the absorption of temporary filling material and pulp capping agents. In cases with breakage of the dental crown, the CT images agreed with the pathological observations, and it was possible to estimate the time of breakage. In vivo Micro-CT is possible to apply in continuous recording of small experimental animals, such as rats, under anesthesia and the result is sufficiently high. High-quality image was obtained in of the entire head region of the rat. It was suggested that this method can be used for long-term continuous observation of changes in the teeth conditions after pulpotomy in experimental animals. We report the newly developed Micro-CT, which allows us to observe the individual animal over a long experimental period and to compare changes in pulp tissue in relation to growth and aging without considering individual differences.     

Myocardial cooling and right ventricular function in patients with right coronary artery disease: antegrade vs. retrograde cardioplegia

Background: Protection of the right ventricular (RV) myocardium during ischaemia in cardiac surgery is difficult, especially in patients with severe right coronary artery (RCA) disease. Retrograde coronary sinus cardioplegia is thought to distribute uniformly, but doubts still remain as to its adequacy in RV preservation. This study evaluated distribution of antegrade vs. exclusively retrograde coronary sinus cold blood cardioplegia by assessing myocardial cooling and compared the effects on RV function. Methods: Fifty-eight patients scheduled for elective coronary artery surgery - 29 patients with significant RCA disease and another 29 with no significant RCA stenosis (controls) - were randomised to receive either antegrade or retrograde cold blood cardioplegia through either aortic root or conventional self-inflating coronary sinus catheter (RCA-ante, RCA-retro, C-ante and C-retro groups). RV function was assessed by fast-response thermodilution. Myocardial temperatures were measured in the anterior and posterior wall of the right and left ventricle. Results: Cooling of the posterior wall of the RV was effective only in the control patients given antegrade cardioplegia (14.7°C), whereas in the other groups the lowest myocardial temperatures there remained above 20°C (RO.001). In patients with obstructed RCA both antegrade and retrograde cold cardioplegia led to uneven cooling of the myocardium. After cardiopulmonary bypass the RV ejection fraction (RVEF), RV stroke work index (RVSWI) and cardiac index (CI) were significantly reduced in the RCA-retro group, and RVSWI and CI in the C-retro group, too. Regression analysis showed an inverse relationship between the temperatures of the posterior walls of the ventricles and changes in the RVEF and CI. Conclusions: Retrograde and antegrade cardioplegia alone were not effective in reducing the temperature of the posterior wall of the RV in the patients with obstructed RCA, in whom with retrograde cardioplegia RV haemodynamics were impaired for 1 hour following bypass. Neither retrograde nor antegrade cardioplegia alone can be relied on to protect the posterior wall of the RV in the patients with obstructed RCA.

Rate and predictability of pulp revascularization in therapeutically reimplanted permanent incisors

Abstract The aim of the present investigation was to study the frequency of pulp revascularization in therapeutically reimplanted incisors as well; is its relationship with the following factors: width of apical foramen, duration of extra-alveolar lime, storage conditions and postoperative administration of antibiotics. Out of 72 immature teeth (width of apical foramen 1.1–5.0 mm) the pulp was revascularized in 13 (18%), while in 88 mature teeth (width of apical foramen 1.0 mm or less) no revascularization occurred. Among parameters tested statistically in immature teeth, a significantly increased frequency of revascularization (p < 0.05) was only found in teeth reimplanted within 45 minutes after avulsion, when compared with teeth reimplanted after a longer extra-alveolar time, and in mandibular incisors when compared with maxillary incisors (p < 0.01). All teeth in which revascularization did not occur exhibited a periapical radiolucency and/or external inflammatory root resorption.     

Persistence of Mammary Artery Branches and Blood Supply to the Left Anterior Descending Artery

Background. Partial harvesting of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) is a widespread technique used during minimally invasive coronary operations performed through a left anterior small thoracotomy. The influence of persisting LIMA branches was investigated to evaluate their effect on the blood flow of the left anterior descending artery.

Methods. Thirty patients, 15 with totally (group A) and 15 with partially (group B) harvested LIMAs, were evaluated. All the patients underwent postoperative angiography, during which a flow map of the LIMA was performed. The average peak velocity and the diastolic-to-systolic peak velocity ratio were recorded. The LIMA graft flow pattern was recorded in the proximal and distal thirds of the artery. Intramammary adenosine (12 to 14 μg) was injected and the average peak velocities before and after injection were calculated.

Results. The average peak velocity was similar in both groups in the proximal and distal thirds of the LIMA (25 ± 7 and 26 ± 5 cm/sec, respectively, in group A versus 27 ± 5 and 25 ± 5 cm/sec, respectively in group B; p = NS). The diastolic-to-systolic peak velocity ratio was similar proximally (0.78 ± 0.3 in group A versus 0.69 ± 0.3 cm/s in group B; p = NS), but not distally (1.72 ± 0.1 in group A versus 0.97 ± 0.3 in group B; p < 0.0005). The LIMA graft flow reserve was similar both proximally and distally (2.6 ± 0.6 and 2.5 ± 0.3 cm/s, respectively, in group A versus 2.6 ± 0.5 and 2.6 ± 0.3 cm/s, respectively, in group B; p = NS).

Conclusions. The persistence of LIMA branches does not influence the blood flow of the left anterior descending artery after acute adenosine-induced myocardial hyperemia. If a left anterior small thoracotomy is used in left anterior descending artery direct revascularization, complete LIMA harvesting is not mandatory and depends on the personal preference of the surgeon.
