AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of sevoflurane preconditioning on heart cell death and inflammation in rats with sepsis.
- Forty rats were divided into four groups, with varying treatments including a control and two sevoflurane concentration levels.
- Results showed that sevoflurane reduced heart injury by lowering the levels of markers related to cell death and inflammation, particularly at higher concentrations.
Article Abstract
Objective: To observe the effects of preconditioning with different concentrations of sevoflurane on cariomyocyte apoptosis and myocardial inflammation in rats with sepsis and explore the possible mechanism of sevoflurane for myocardial protection.
Methods: Forty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10), namely the control group, LPS group, low-concentration sevoflurane group and high-concentration sevoflurane group. Following sevoflurane pretreatment for 30 min and a washout period for 10 min, all the rats received intraperitoneal injection of LPS or normal saline (NS) and were sacrificed 12 h later to observe the myocardial histopathology. Apoptosis of the ardiomyocytes was detected with TUNEL assay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum cTnI level and myocardial TNF-α level.
Results: Compared with the control group, the rats in the other 3 groups showed significantly increased serum cTnI level, myocardial TNF-α content, and apoptotic index of the cardiomyocytes (P<0.05). Compared with those in LPS group, serum cTnI level, myocardial TNF-α content, and apoptotic index of the cardiomyocytes were significantly decreased in the two sevoflurane preconditioning groups (P<0.05), and the effect was more obvious with a high dose of sevoflurane (P<0.05 CONCLUSION: Sevoflurane preconditioning can concentration-dependently reduce LPS-induced myocardial injury in rats possibly by decreasing cardiomyocyte apoptosis and alleviating myocardial inflammations.

Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is an important complication in the treatment of heart failure, and its treatment has not made satisfactory progress. Nitroxyl (HNO) showed protective effects on the heart failure, however, the effect and underlying mechanism of HNO on MIRI remain largely unclear.
Methods: MIRI model in this study was established to induce H9C2 cell injury through hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in vitro.

Background: Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used for cancer treatment and has non-negligible cardiotoxicity. Some previous studies have reported that cannabidiol (CBD) has cardioprotective effects. In this study, we evaluated the protective effects of CBD against DOX-induced cardiomyocyte injury, and explored the downstream molecular mechanism.

In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), thrombolytic therapy and revascularization strategies allow complete recanalization of occluded epicardial coronary arteries. However, approximately 35% of patients still experience myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, which contributing to increased AMI mortality. Therefore, an accurate understanding of myocardial I/R injury is important for preventing and treating AMI.

Metabolic reprogramming, the shifting from fatty acid oxidation to glucose utilization, improves cardiac function as heart failure (HF) progresses. Leptin plays an essential role in regulating glucose metabolism. However, the crosstalk between leptin and metabolic reprogramming is poorly understood.
