Whether the ATP-sensitive potassium channel opener pinacidil can provide myocardial protective effects in prolonged isolated global ischemic rat heart was investigated. On modified isolated rat working heart model, 40 hearts were divided into four groups randomly: Hyperpolarized arrest H-K solution containing pinacidil (50 tmol/L) (P1 and P2) and depolarized arrest St. Thomas‘ solution (S1 and S2) subjected to 15 C hypothermia, 60 min (P1 and S1) or 120 min (P1 and S2) of ischemia and 30 min reperfusion. The experimental indices included cardioplegic efficiency, cardiac function, coronary blood flow, myocardial enzyme release, myocardial water and ATP content. Hyperpolarized arrest provided significantly better recovery of cardiac function than depolarized arrest.Postischemic coronary flow and myocardial ATP content were higher. The arrest time of electro-mechanical activities were longer than depolarized arrest. There were no differences among the groups in myocardial water contents. The hyperpolarized arrest solution containing pinacidil can provide a marked myocardial protective effect during prolonged hypothermic myocardial ischemia. 相似文献
Background. We developed a method of closed-chest cardiopulmonary bypass to arrest and protect the heart with cardioplegic solution. This method was used in 54 dogs and the results were retrospectively analyzed.
Methods. Bypass cannulas were placed in the right femoral vessels. A balloon occlusion catheter was passed via the left femoral artery and positioned in the ascending aorta. A pulmonary artery vent was placed via the jugular vein. In 17 of the dogs retrograde cardioplegia was provided with a percutaneous coronary sinus catheter.
Results. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 111 ± 27 minutes (mean ± standard deviation) and cardiac arrest time was 66 ± 21 minutes. Preoperative cardiac outputs were 2.9 ± 0.70 L/min and postoperative outputs were 2.9 ± 0.65 L/min (p = not significant). Twenty-one-French and 23F femoral arterial cannulas that allowed coaxial placement of the ascending aortic balloon catheter were tested in 3 male calves. Line pressures were higher, but not clinically limiting, with the balloon catheter placed coaxially.
Conclusions. Adequate cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegia can be achieved in the dog without opening the chest, facilitating less invasive cardiac operations. A human clinical trial is in progress. 相似文献
The effects of calcium (Ca) on a hyperkalemic cardioplegic solution for continuous cardioplegia were examined in an isolated perfused working rat heart model. The coronary arteries were perfused with a modified Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer (K-H) solution, containing various concentrations of Ca(0.1, 0.6, 1.2, and 2.5 mmol/l) and a high concentration of potassium (20 mmol/l), for 180 min, after which cardiac arrest was induced at 37°C for 180 min. Cardiac function and creatine kinase (CK) were measured. In the control group, K-H solution was infused in place of the cardioplegic solution, and cardiac arrest was not induced. No significant differences were observed between the groups infused with the K-H solution containing Ca concentrations of 0.6, 1.2, and 2.5 mmol/l in the percent recovery of aortic flow (82.1±2.9%, 80.6±2.0%, and 71.5±3.7% (mean±SEM) respectively) or in the recovery of other indices of cardiac function, or in CK leakage. There were also no significant differences in the recovery of cardiac function and CK leakage between these groups and the control group. In the Ca 0.1 mmol/l group, however, the characteristic Ca paradox was observed. These findings suggest that if the Ca concentration in a cardioplegic solution is higher than 0.6 mmol/l during continuous cardioplegia, excellent cardioprotective effects will be achieved. 相似文献
We evaluated the preventive effect of postischemic reperfusion injury by Nicorandil-Mg cardioplegia given just prior to reperfusion as terminal cardioplegia. Twenty seven dogs were placed on cardiopulmonary bypass and the aorta was cross-clamped for 90 min under hypothermic (17–19°C) cardioplegic arrest. The canine hearts were divided into three groups: in group A (n=10) the hearts were reperfused without any treatment; in group B (n=9) the hearts received coronary perfusion with Nicorandil-Mg solution (Nic, 8 mg/l; Mg, 20 mEq/l; glucose, 50 g/l) for 2 min just prior to reperfusion; and in group C (n=8) the hearts received coronary perfusion with Nicorandil-Mg free solution (glucose, 50g/l). During and after ischemia, the myocardial tissue PCO2 (t-PCO2) was continuously monitored by an ion-sensitive field effective transistor (ISFET) sensor. In addition, the myocardial tissue blood flow (TBF), oxygen consumption, and lactate flux were then calculated at 5, 10, 20, and 40 min of reperfusion. In the initial reperfusion period, Group B showed an improved TBF compared to group A and C (at 5 min, group B was 42.7±11.9; group A was 29.4±11.2, P<0.025; and group C was 33.9±9.2% of the preischemic control level, P<0.05). T-PCO2 in group B was significantly decreased at 5 min of reperfusion (group B, 127.5±22.5 42.5±9.7; group A, 117.5±23.0 85.2±17.4, P<0.001; group C, 122.3 mmHg 68.2±18.7 mmHg, P<0.01), and group B had a better metabolic recovery. These results suggest that terminal Nicorandil-Mg cardioplegia might reduce the rate of postischemic reperfusion injury. 相似文献
