Objective: To investigate the effects of ischemic preconditioning on myocardial bcl-2, bax, p53 gene expression during ischemia/reperfusion period in rabbits.
Methods: Twenty four rabbits were randomly allocated to three groups (n = 8), pseudo-operation group(Group P), ischemia/reperfusion group (Group IR) and ischemic preconditioning group(Group IP). Group IR and Group IP were subjected to three hours of left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion followed for three hours of reperfusion. Ischemic preconditioning was achieved by three 5-minute cycles of ischemia, each followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion. Apoptosis index(AI) and protein expression of Bcl-2, Bax, and p53 in the border zone of myocardium of ischemic area at risk were obtained with a flow cytometry.
Results: Compared with Group IR, AI was significantly reduced in Group IP(P < 0.01). Bcl-2 expressions was higher in Group IP than in Group IR, while bax and p53 expressions were lower in Group IP than in Group IR.
Conclusion: The rabbit myocardial apoptosis induced by ischemic preconditioning inhibited ischemia-reperfusion in vivo partly related to the modulating of bcl-2, bax and p53 expression.

Purpose: Reperfusion of the ischaemic heart is essential to limit myocardial infarction. However, reperfusion can cause cardiomyocyte hypercontracture. Recently, cardiac myosin-targeted inhibitors (CMIs), such as Mavacamten (MYK-461) and Aficamten (CK-274), have been developed to treat patients with cardiac hypercontractility.

Background: Cholecystectomy often disrupts autonomic balance, impacting recovery. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) may enhance ANS function and protect organs, but its role in cholecystectomy is unclear.
Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 80 patients aged 45 to 65 years, scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, were randomly assigned to either the RIPC group or the control group.

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is reported to have early-phase and delayed-phase organ-protective effects. Previous studies have focused on the organ protection of a single RIPC protocol, and the clinical outcomes remain uncertain. Whether the modified RIPC (mRIPC) protocol performed repeatedly provides cardiopulmonary protection is still uncertain.
