Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the mechanism of cardioprotection associated with two inotropics, milrinone:MIL, a phosphodiesterase type 3 inhibitor, and levosimendan:LEV, a calcium sensitizer. A selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor abolished LEV-induced cardioprotection(postconditioning). Now we try to clarify the activation of cyclooxygenase-2 protein in the cardioprotection with Westernblotting. Preischemic administration of MIL or LEV have showed tendency to decrease the myocardial infarct size, but not significant. Propofol(the Group of propofol+MIL or propofol+LEV) also have showed tendency to increase the myocardial infarct size compared with the Group of MIL or LEV(preischemic administration: i.e. preconditioning), but not significant.
