배경: 간헐적 전방 온혈 심정지액(IAWBC)은 가장 최근에 도입된 것으로 냉혈 심정지액이나 역행성 연속 심정지액에 비해 심근보호 효과가 뛰어나고 간편하다는 장점이 있는 것으로 보고되었다. 본 논문에서는 IAWBC의 안정성과 유용성을 알아보기 위해 간헐적 역행성 냉혈심정지액(IRCBC)을 사용한 환자를 후향적으로 비교하였다. 대상 및 방법:. 2001년 4월부터 2년 동안 관상동맥 우회로 조성수술만을 받은 환자 57명을 대상으로 하였다. IAWBC가 28명, IRCBC가 29명으로 연령, 성별, 협심증의 정도, 좌심실 구획률, 이식혈관 수에서 두 군 간의 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. t-test를 이용하여 대동맥차단시간, 재관류시간, 심근효소치, 심박출량, 수술 후 환자가 깬 시간 등을 비교하였고 Chi-square test를 이용하여 자발적 심박동회복, 수술 후 심근경색발생률을 비교하였다. 결과: 대동맥차단시간, 재관류 시간, 12시간과 24시간에서의 CKMB 효소 치, 급성심근경색발생률, 수술 후 환자가 깬 시간에서 IAWBC군에서 IRCBC군보다 통계학적으로 유의 있게 낮았다(p<0.05). 또한 자발적 심박동의 경우 IAWBC군에서 통계학적으로 유의 있게 높은 회복률을 보였다. 수술 전후 심박출량에서 IAWBC군에서 의의 있게 증가되는 양상을 보였다. 수술 직후 CKMB 효소 치, 수술 후 심방세동발생률이나 수술 후 사망률에 있어서는 통계학적인 차이가 없었다. 결론: 심근보호에서 IAWBC의 안전성과 유용성을 알 수 있었고 심폐기 가동시간을 단축하고 관상정맥동 삽관을 하지 않으므로 보다 간편하고 경제적인 수술을 할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

연구배경: 적출 흰쥐 심장에서 짧은 기간 동안 칼슘 파라독스를 반복하면(칼슘결핍 및 재투여에 의한 칼슘 전처치, calcium-free preconditioning-calcium depletion and repletion)하면 후속 되는 보다 긴 기간 동안의 허혈에 대하여 재관류시 심장기능 회복 증가, 괴사크기의 감소 등 허혈성 전처치에서 나타나는 것과 유사한 심근보호 효과가 있음이 최근 보고되어 있다. 본 실험에서는 적출 토끼 심장을 이용하여 칼슘결핍용액으로 전처치할 경우 ischemic preconditioning(이하 IP)와 유사한 심근보호 효과가 나타나는가의 유무를 기능 및 형태학적 측면에서 확인하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 체중 1.5∼2.0 kg의 건강한 흰토끼(New Zealand White rabbit)의 적출 심장을 이용하여 Langendorff 방법에 따라 관류하여 일정한 기준치가 유지되면 전체 허혈(5분)-재관류(10분) 1회 실시로 IP를 유도하고 45분 동안 전체허혈후 120분 동안 재관류하였다(IP군, n=7). 대조군(n=7)에서는 IP없이 45분 동안 전체허혈후 120분 동안 재관류를 실시하였다. 칼슘결핍용액 투여 전처치군(n=7)에서는 5분 동안 칼슘결핍용액을 투여 후 10분 동안 칼슘이 포함된 관류액으로 관류하고 45분 동안 허혈을 실시한 후 120분 동안 재관류하였다. 허혈후 재관류 기간 동안 좌심실 기능, 관혈류 등을 측정하였으며 심근괴사 크기는 1% tetrazolium으로 염색하여 형태계측 하였다. 결과는 분산분석(ANOVA)을 실시하여 유의성이 있다고 판정되면 Tukey's post-hoc test로 검정하였다. 결과: 45분 동안 허혈후 LVDP, dP/dt, 관혈류 등은 다른 실험군에 비하여 IP군에서 현저히 증가하였으나 칼슘결핍용액 투여 전처치군에서는 오히려 허혈 대조군에 비하여 현저히 감소하였다. 그러나 칼슘결핍용액 투여 전처치군에서는 IP군에서와 같이 허혈 대조군에 비하여 심근괴사 범위가 현저히 감소되었다. 결론: 이상의 결과로 적출 관류 토끼 심장에서 칼슘결핍용액 투여로 전처치할 경우 후속된 장시간 동안의 허혈에 대하여 좌심실기능 회복 증가는 기대할 수 없으나 심근괴사 범위 한정 등의 보호효과가 있는 것으로 생각된다.

The increasing use of cardioplegic solution for the reduction of ischemic tissue injury requires that all cardiplegic solution be carefully assessed for any protective or damaging properties. This study describes functional, enzymatic and structural assessment of the efficiency of three cardioplegic solutions (Young & GIK, Bretschneider, and $K^{+}$ Albumin solution) in a Modified Isolated Rat Heart Model of cardiopulmonary bypass and ischemic arrest. Isolated rat heart were subjected to a 2-minute period of coronary infusion with a cold cardioplegic or a noncardioplegic solution immediately before and also at the midpoint of a 60-minute period of hypothermic ($10{\pm}1$. C) ischemic cardiac arrest. The results of this study were as follow: 1. Spontaneous heart beat after ischemic arrest occured 16 seconds later after Langendorff reperfusion in the Young & GIK group (n=6), and 40 second later in the Bretschneider group (n=6) and 6 minute later in the $K^{+}$ Albumin group (n=6), and 16 minute later in the control group (non-cardioplegia). A good recovery state of spontaneous heart beat was shown in the Young & GIK and Bretschneider groups. 2. The percentage of recorveries of heart function at 30 minute after postischemic working heart perfusion were : heart rate $91.6{\pm}3.1$% (P<0.01)m oeaj airtuc oressyre $83{\pm}3$% (P<0.01), coronary flow $70{\pm}8$% (P<0.05) and aortic flow flow rate $39{\pm}9.3$% (P<0.05) in the Young & GIK group. This percentage of recoveries of the Young & GIK group was significantly greater than the control group. In the Bretschneider group, the percentage of recoveries were : heart rate $87.8{\pm}7.5$%(P<0.05), peak aortic pressure $71{\pm}2.3$% (P<0.05) and aortic flow rate $33.2{\pm}6.6$%(P<0.05). hte percentage of recoveries were significantly greater than in the control group. In the $K^{+}$ Albumin group, recoveries of heart function were poor. 3. Total CPK leakage was $131.2{\pm}12.75$IU/30 min/gm. dry weight in the control group, $50.65{\pm}12.75$IU in the Young & GIK gruop, $69.40{\pm}32.21$Iu in Bretschneider group, and $103.65{\pm}15.47$IU in the $K^{+}$ Albumin group during the 30 minute postischemic Langendorff reperfusion. Total CPK leakage was significantly less (P<0.001) in the Young & GIK group, than in the control group. 4. Direct correlatin between percentage recovery of aortic flow rate and total amount of CPK leakage from Myocardium was noticed.(Correlation Coefficient r = 0.76, P<0.001). 5. Mild perivascular edema was the only finding of light microscopic study of myocardium after 60 minute ischemic arrest with cold cardioplegic solutions and hypothermla.

We investigated the changes of protein in chronic MI which was occurred with long-term ischemia, without reperfusion. Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into the sham group and the experimental groups (MI groups). The sham group was treated only thoracotomy without ligation for left main descending artery (LMDA) of left coronary artery (LCA), and the experimental groups (MI7d, ligation of LMDA for 7 days and MI30d, ligation of LMDA for 30 days) were conducted an artificial chronic MI. The change of proteins according to passage of times was compared and analyzed on first and second dimension (1 and 2D) sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis. Among total 46 spots expressed differentially in the sham group versus MI7d and MI30d groups on 2D gel, we selected proteins that the volume of spot was increased in the MI7d and MI30d groups compared with the sham group. After that, the proteins were identified through liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. In result, we could obtain many proteins as follows; albumin, glucose regulated protein 58 KDa, similar to tripartite motif protein 50, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase core protein II, sarcomeric mitochondrial creatine kinase, ATP synthetase alpha chain (mitochondrial precursor) and creatine kinase. In conclusion, we suggest many changed proteins shown at chronic ischemia after artificial MI and consider that these proteins play an important role in the function of heart after MI.

High potassium cardioplegia is a widely accepted procedure to enhance myocardial protection from ischemic injuries associated with open heart surgery. Maintaining optimum osmolarity of the cardioplegic solution is one of the required conditions for an ideal cardioplegic solution Albumin is an frequently added component for maintaining optimum osmolarity of clinically used cardioplegic solutions. But the source of albumin is human blood so that the supply is limited and the cost of manufacturing is relatively high. Recently there are moves to minimized the use of blood product for fear of blood-associated infections or immunological disorders. In this experiment, we substituted mannitol or glucose for albumin added to the cardioplegic solution which has been used at the Wonju Medical College, To determine whether addition of mannitol or glucose instead of albumin in the cardioplegic solution can produce satisfactory myocardial protection during ischemia, three different groups of isolated rat heart perfused by modified Langendorff technique were studied. Wonju Cardioplegic Solution was selected as a standard high potassium[18mEq/L of K+] cardioplegic solution. Three kinds of cardioplegic solution were made by modifying the composition maintaining the same osmolarity[339$\pm$1mOsm/Kg] Isolated rat heart were perfused initially with retrograde nonworking mode and then changed to working mode. After measuring the heart rate, systolic aortic pressure, aortic flow, coronary flow, ischemic arrest by aorta cross clamp and cardioplegia was made maintaining the temperature of water jacket at 10oC. The heart was rewarmed and reperfused after 60min of ischemic arrest with intermittent cardioplegia at the 30min interval. The time to return of heart beat and the time required to get. Regular heart beat were observed after reperfusion. The recovery rate of the functional variables-heart rate, systolic aortic pressure, aortic flow, coronary flow and cardiac output were calculated and compared among the three groups of different cardioplegia-albumin, mannitol, and glucose. The wet weight and dry weight was measured and the water content of the heart as figured out for comparison. The time to return of heart beat was fastest in the albumin group, The functional recovery rates were best in the albumin group also. In the above conditions, albumin was the best additive to the cardioplegic solution compared to the mannitol or glucose.

저자들은 흰쥐의 적출된 심장을 이용하여 Verapamil이 허혈성 심근에 대하여 심근보호효과가 있는지를 관찰하였다 흰쥐의 적출된 심장은 허혈상태에서 심근온도가 $25^{\circ}C$가 되게 유지하였다. 24마리의 흰쥐로부터 적출된 심장을 Krebs-Henseleit완충액을 사용하여 30분간의 비작업성 역관류로 안정시킨 후 $25^{\circ}C$의 심정지액 (St. Thomas' Hospital Cardioplegic Solution)에 60분 동안 저장하였다. 허혈성 심정지를 유도하기 전에 적출된 심장을 저온의 심정지액으로 처리한 군을 대조군(n=12)으로 하고, Verapamil 이 첨가된 저온의 심정지액으로 처리한 군을 실험군(n=12)으로 하였다. 60분 동안의 허혈성 심정지후 심정지전에 측정했던 혈역학적 및 생화학적 지표인 심박동수, 좌심실압, +dpfdt max, 관상관류량과 CPK치를 재관류후 30분에 재측정하여 심정지전과 비교하여 심기능 회복 정도를 관찰하였다. Verapamil이 첨가된 저온의 심정지액을 사용한 실험군이 심박동수, 좌심실압, +dp/dt max, 관상관류량과 CPK치에서 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 높은 회복율을 나타내었다(p <0.05).

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been accepted as a heart protection phenomenon against ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. The activation of ATP-sensitive potassium $(K_{ATP})$ channels and the release of myocardial nitric oxide (NO) induced by IPC were demonstrated as the triggers or mediators of IPC. A common action mechanism of NO is a direct or indirect increase in tissue cGMP content. Furthermore, cGMP has also been shown to contribute cardiac protective effect to reduce heart I/R-induced infarction. The present investigation tested the hypothesis that $K_{ATP}$ channels attenuate DNA strand breaks and oxidative damage in an in vitro model of I/R utilizing rat ventricular myocytes. We estimated DNA strand breaks and oxidative damage by mean of single cell gel electrophoresis with endonuclease III cutting sites (comet assay). In the I/R model, the level of DNA damage increased massively. Preconditioning with a single 5-min anoxia, diazoxide $(100\;{\mu}M)$, SNAP $(300\;{\mu}M)$ and 8-(4-Chlorophenylthio)-guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-pCPT-cGMP) $(100\;{\mu}M)$ followed by 15 min reoxygenation reduced DNA damage level against subsequent 30 min anoxia and 60 min reoxygenation. These protective effects were blocked by the concomitant presence of glibenclamide $(50\;{\mu}M)$, 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) $(100\;{\mu}M)$ and 8-(4-Chlorophenylthio)-guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, Rp-isomer (Rp-8-pCPT-cGMP) $(100\;{\mu}M)$. These results suggest that NO-cGMP-protein kinase G (PKG) pathway contributes to cardioprotective effect of $K_{ATP}$ channels in rat ventricular myocytes.

Sevoflurane postconditioning (SPostC) has been proved effective in cardioprotection against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. It was also reported that heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) could be induced by sevoflurane, which played a crucial role in hypoxic/reoxygenation (HR) injury of cardiomyocytes. However, the mechanism by which sevoflurane protects cardiomyocytes via HSP70 is still not understood. Here, we aimed to investigate the related mechanisms of SPostC inducing HSP70 expression to reduce the HR injury of cardiomyocytes. After the HR cardiomyocytes model was established, the cells transfected with siRNA for HSP70 (siHSP70) or not were treated with sevoflurane during reoxygenation. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level was detected by colorimetry while cell viability and apoptosis were detected by MTT and flow cytometry. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting were used to detect HSP70, apoptosis-, cell cycle-associated factors, iNOS, and Cox-2 expressions. Enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). SPostC decreased apoptosis, cell injury, oxidative stress and inflammation and increased viability of HR-induced cardiomyocytes. In addition, SPostC downregulated Bax and cleaved caspase-3 levels, while SPostC upregulated Bcl-2, CDK-4, Cyclin D1, and HSP70 levels. SiHSP70 had the opposite effect that SPostC had on HR-induced cardiomyocytes. Moreover, siHSP70 further reversed the effect of SPostC on apoptosis, cell injury, oxidative stress, inflammation, viability and the expressions of HSP70, apoptosis-, and cell cycle-associated factors in HR-induced cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that SPostC can reduce the HR injury of cardiomyocytes by inducing HSP70 expression.

Objectives: Hyperlipidemia (HL) is a major cause of ischemic heart diseases. The size-limiting effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPC), a cardioprotective phenomenon, is reduced in HL, possibly because of the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP). The objective of this study is to see what effect pretreatment with Inula racemose Hook root extract (IrA) had on IPC-mediated cardioprotection on HL Wistar rat hearts. An isolated rat heart was mounted on the Langendorff heart array, and then ischemia reperfusion (I/R) and IPC cycles were performed. Atractyloside (Atr) is an MPTP opener. Methods: The animals were divided into ten groups, each consisting of six rats (n = 6), to investigate the modulation of I. racemosa Hook extract on cardioprotection by IPC in HL hearts: Sham control, I/R Control, IPC control, I/R + HL, I/R + IrA + HL, IPC + HL, IPC + NS + HL, IPC + IrA+ HL, IPC + Atr + oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, integrity, and hemodynamic parameters are evaluated for each group. Results: The present experimental data show that pretreatment with IrA reduced the LDH, CK-MB, size of myocardial infarction, content of cardiac collagen, and ventricular fibrillation in all groups of HL rat hearts. This pretreatment also reduced the oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Inhibition of MPTP opening by Atr diminished the effect of IrA on IPC-mediated cardioprotection in HL rats. Conclusion: The study findings indicate that pretreatment with IrA e restores IPC-mediated cardioprotection in HL rats by inhibiting the MPTP opening.
