Objective: To investigate electrophysiology of cardiocytes in ligament of Marshall.
Methods: The single cardiocytes obtained from ligament of Marshall were direct observed under inverted microscope. The cardiocyte action potential and current density of I(Na), I(Ca), L, I(to), I(K) and I(K1) were researched by whole-cell patch-clamp techniques.
Results: There were two different cardiomyocytes in ligament of Marshall, one was rod shape, the other was short-rectangle shape. The short-rectangle myocyte was short and thick; the rod myocyte was long and thin. The short-rectangle myocyte was more than rod myocyte. The length/width rate of short-rectangle myocyte was less than that of rod myocyte (2.99 +/- 0.95 vs 12.05 +/- 2.41, P < 0.01). The action potential of ligament myocytes was similar to fast responsive cells. The action potential amplitude (APA) and duration (APD) of short-rectangle cells were less than those in rod cells. APA (mV), APD(50) (ms) and APD(90) (ms) were respectively 80.02 +/- 3.68 vs 91.72 +/- 7.56, 69.62 +/- 6.33 vs 83.14 +/- 3.66 and 107.55 +/- 4.25 vs 144.00 +/- 5.15, P < 0.05. The ion current density of I(Na), I(Ca), L, I(to), I(K1) was different between the two kind cells.
Conclusions: There are two different cardiocytes in ligament of Marshall. The action potential and ion current density of I(Na), I(Ca), L, I(to), I(K1) are different between the two kind cardiocytes.

The respiratory and cardiovascular systems are often the most severely impacted by the rapid onset of sepsis, which can lead to multiple organ failure. The mortality has ranged from 10 to 40% when it has evolved into septic shock. This study sought to demonstrate the potential and role of Hmgcs2 in safeguarding against cardiovascular harm in septic mouse models.

Heart failure is accompanied by adverse cardiac remodeling involving extracellular matrix (ECM). Cardiac ECM acts as a major reservoir for many proteins including growth factors, cytokines, collagens, and proteoglycans. Activated fibroblasts during cardiac injury can alter the composition and activity of these ECM proteins.

Mammalian cells employ an array of biological mechanisms to detect and respond to mechanical loading in their environment. One such mechanism is the formation of plasma membrane disruptions (PMD), which foster a molecular flux across cell membranes that promotes tissue adaptation. Repair of PMD through an orchestrated activity of molecular machinery is critical for cell survival, and the rate of PMD repair can affect downstream cellular signaling.

Introduction: Cellular cardiomyoplasty has rapidly risen to prominence in the clinic following a myocardial infarction; however, low engraftment of transplanted cells limits the therapeutic benefit to these procedures. Recently, lineage-specific stem cells differentiated into cardiomyocytes have gained much attention to assist in the repair of an injured heart tissue; however, questions regarding the ideal cell source remain. In the present study, we have identified a source that is easy to extract stem cells from and show that the cells present have a high plasticity toward the cardiomyogenic lineage.
