Abstract
OBJECTIVES Inhalative anesthesia is of common use, but is generally known to potentiate postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). With an internal change of anesthesia regimen from total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) to isoflurane (in terms of myocardial protection) in cardiac anesthesia a higher incidence of PONV was to be expected. Therefore, we evaluated the incidence of PONV after the simultaneous implementation of PONV prophylaxis. METHODS The incidence of PONV, prospectively assessed in 197 cardiac surgery patients (68 y ± 10.4, 66.5% male) having isoflurane plus dual PONV prophylaxis with dexamethasone and droperidol, was compared with previous data of 190 controls (67 y ± 9.6, 71% male) having TIVA without and with single or dual PONV prophylaxis (n = 64 dexamethasone and droperidol, n = 25 dexamethasone, n = 101 only TIVA), and the Apfel-scoring (0-4 depending on PONV-risk). DRKS00014275. Statistics: Chi2-test, p < .05 (Bonferroni). RESULTS The incidence of PONV under isoflurane with antiemetic prophylaxis was 20.8% (95% confidence interval (CI) 15.4; 27.4) compared to 30.5% (95%CI 24; 37.6) under TIVA (p = .029; dexamethasone and droperidol 23.4% (95%CI 13.8; 35.7); dexamethasone 32% (95%CI 14.9; 53.5); only TIVA 34.7% (95%CI 25.5; 44.8)), but was not lower in high-risk patients than predicted according to Apfel-scoring 4 (71.4 vs. 78%). CONCLUSION In cardiac anesthesia, the use of isoflurane is not at the expense of PONV when using a risk-independent two-drug-prophylaxis. It is even beneficial resulting surprisingly in a lower incidence of PONV than under TIVA unless with and without prophylaxis. Patients with the highest risk for PONV and receiving isoflurane should receive a third antiemetic prophylactic drug.

Abstract
Reperfusion injury is a complex pathological event involving processes that can lead to further disruption of the cell membrane and function following an ischemic event. Return of blood flow allows for the needed reperfusion; however, for a period of time before remaining viable cells stabilize, reperfusion results in additional cellular injury. In cardiomyocytes, loss of membrane integrity allows abnormal influx of extracellular calcium, leading to hyper-contracture and cell death. Methods to improve the membrane integrity of cardiomyocytes overwhelmed by pathological disruptions, such as reperfusion injury, are needed to prevent cell death, because of the myocardium's limited ability to regenerate. Research has shown administration of the copolymer P(oloxamer) 188 before ischemia/reperfusion can protect cardiomyocytes through membrane stabilization. This study sought to determine whether the administration of P188 at the beginning of the clinically more relevant time of reperfusion after ischemia will attenuate any additional damage to cardiomyocytes by stabilizing membrane integrity to allow the cells to maintain function. Using an in-vitro cardiomyocyte model subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation to simulate ischemia/reperfusion injury, we show that reoxygenation significantly potentiates the injury caused by hypoxia itself. P188, with its unique combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic chemical properties, and only delivered at the beginning of reoxygenation, dose-dependently protected cardiomyocytes from injury due to reoxygenation by repairing cell membranes, decreasing calcium influx, and maintaining cellular morphology. Our study also shows the hydrophobic portion of P188 is necessary for the stabilization of cell membrane integrity in providing protection to cardiomyocytes against reoxygenation injury.

Abstract
Noble gases, although supposed to be chemically inert, mediate numerous physiological and cellular effects, leading to protection against ischaemia-reperfusion injury in different organs. Clinically, the noble gas helium is used in treatment of airway obstruction and ventilation disorders in children and adults. In addition, studies from recent years in cells, isolated tissues, animals and finally humans show that helium has profound biological effects: helium applied before, during or after an ischaemic event reduced cellular damage, known as "organ conditioning", in some tissue, e.g. the myocardium. Although extensive research has been performed, the exact molecular mechanisms behind these organ-protective effects of helium are yet not completely understood. In addition, there are significant differences of protective effects in different organs and animal models. A translation of experimental findings to the clinical situation has yet not been shown.

Abstract
Introduction: The prevalence of waterpipe tobacco smoke (WTS) consumption is increased among pregnant woman. Prenatal cigarette smoke exposure increased the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases in offspring. The current study examined the effect of prenatal WTS exposure on inflammatory profile, oxidative stress, and cardiac biomarkers in adult offspring rats. Methods: Female rats received WTS (2 hours per day) or fresh air 1 day prior to mating and throughout the pregnancy period. The body and heart masses were measured in male offspring rats. The level of oxidative stress biomarkers, nitrate, inflammatory mediators (interleukin 6 [IL-6], tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α]), and gene expression of protein kinase C epsilon, angiotensin 2 receptor one, and transforming growth factor beta1 were measured in cardiac tissue homogenates of 13-week-old male offspring rats. Results: Prenatal WTS exposure reduced body weight and increased heart to body weight ratio ( P < .05). Prenatal WTS exposure did not affect oxidative stress biomarkers (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) but significantly increased catalase activity and nitrate level ( P < .05) in cardiac tissue of adult male offspring rats. In addition, prenatal exposure to WTS did not affect cardiac level of TNF-α and IL-6 as well as the gene expression of different cardiac modulators in adult male offspring rats ( P > .05). Conclusion: Prenatal WTS exposure has detrimental consequences on adult offspring rats by increasing the ratio of heart to body mass, increasing the catalase activity and nitrate level in cardiac tissue of adult male offspring rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both morphine and limb remote ischemic perconditioning (RIPer) can protect against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). This experiment was designed to assess whether combined morphine and limb RIPer could provide and enhanced protection against myocardial IRI in an in vivo rat model. METHODS One hundred male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to six groups: sham, ischemia/reperfusion (IR), ischemic preconditioning, RIPer, morphine (M), and combined morphine and remote ischemic perconditioning (M + RIPer). Ventricular arrhythmias that occurred during ischemia and early reperfusion were scored, and serum creatine kinase isoenzyme and cardiac troponin I levels were assayed. The infarct size was determined by Evans blue and triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining. The apoptosis in the myocardial ischemic core, ischemic border, and nonischemic areas was assessed through real-time polymerase chain reaction for Bax and Bcl-2 and with the transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end labeling assay. RESULTS The infarct size, serum cardiac troponin I level, incidence, and score of the arrhythmias during the initial reperfusion were significantly reduced in the M + RIPer group compared with the IR group but did not differ significantly between the ischemic preconditioning and M + RIPer groups. Transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end labeling-positive cells were significantly decreased, and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio was significantly increased in the M + RIPer group compared with the IR group. CONCLUSIONS This experiment demonstrates that combined morphine and limb RIPer provides an enhanced protection against myocardial IRI by the Bcl-2-linked apoptotic signaling pathway.

Abstract
Propofol is a neuroprotective anesthetic. Whether propofol can promote spinal cord injury repair by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells remains poorly understood. We used rats to investigate spinal cord injury repair using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation combined with propofol administration via the tail vein. Rat spinal cord injury was clearly alleviated; a large number of newborn non-myelinated and myelinated nerve fibers appeared in the spinal cord, the numbers of CM-Dil-labeled bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and fluorogold-labeled nerve fibers were increased and hindlimb motor function of spinal cord-injured rats was markedly improved. These improvements were more prominent in rats subjected to bone marrow mesenchymal cell transplantation combined with propofol administration than in rats receiving monotherapy. These results indicate that propofol can enhance the therapeutic effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on spinal cord injury in rats.

Abstract
The repair effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on nervous system damage are not satisfactory. Propofol has been shown to protect against spinal cord injury. Therefore, this study sought to explore the therapeutic effects of their combination on spinal cord injury. Rat models of spinal cord injury were established using the weight drop method. Rats were subjected to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation via tail vein injection and/or propofol injection via tail vein using an infusion pump. Four weeks after cell transplantation and/or propofol treatment, the cavity within the spinal cord was reduced. The numbers of PKH-26-positive cells and horseradish peroxidase-positive nerve fibers apparently increased in the spinal cord. Latencies of somatosensory evoked potentials and motor evoked potentials in the hindlimb were noticeably shortened, amplitude was increased and hindlimb motor function was obviously improved. Moreover, the combined effects were better than cell transplantation or propofol injection alone. The above data suggest that the combination of propofol injection and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation can effectively improve hindlimb electrophysiological function, promote the recovery of motor funtion, and play a neuroprotective role in spinal cord injury in rats.

Abstract
Postconditioning of myocardial tissue employs short cycles of ischemia or pharmacologic agents during early reperfusion. Effects of helium postconditioning protocols on infarct size and the ischemia/reperfusion-induced immune response were investigated by measurement of protein and mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Rats were anesthetized with S-ketamine (150 mg/kg) and diazepam (1.5 mg/kg). Regional myocardial ischemia/reperfusion was induced; additional groups inhaled 15, 30, or 60 min of 70% helium during reperfusion. Fifteen minutes of helium reduced infarct size from 43% in control to 21%, whereas 30 and 60 minutes of helium inhalation led to an infarct size of 47% and 39%, respectively. Increased protein levels of cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC-3) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) were found after 30 or 60 min of helium inhalation, in comparison to control. 30 min of helium increased mRNA levels of CINC-3, IL-1β, interleukin 6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in myocardial tissue not directly subjected to ischemia/reperfusion. These results suggest that the effectiveness of the helium postconditioning protocol is very sensitive to duration of noble gas application. Additionally, helium was associated with higher levels of inflammatory cytokines; however, it is not clear whether this is causative of nature or part of an epiphenomenon.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is a clinical challenge in interventional cardiology, and at the moment, no pharmacological agent is universally accepted in the prevention. In order to prevent inappropriate clinical trials, a potential pharmacological agent should be proved reproducibly effective in clinically relevant experimental studies before initiation of human studies. The closed-chest porcine model is a promising experimental model of ischemia-reperfusion injury. The purpose of this systematic review was to describe the pharmacological treatments evaluated in the closed-chest porcine model and discuss different aspects of the model for future use. The systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines.

Abstract
Introduction Anesthetic-induced preconditioning (AIP) is known to elicit cardioprotective effects that are mediated at least in part by activation of the kinases AMPK and PKCε as well as by inhibition of JNK. Recent data demonstrated that the pleiotropic cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) provides cardioprotection through activation and/or inhibition of kinases that are also known to mediate effects of AIP. Therefore, we hypothesized that MIF could play a key role in the AIP response. Methods Cardiomyocytes were isolated from rats and subjected to isoflurane preconditioning (4 h; 1.5 vol. %). Subsequently, MIF secretion and alterations in the activation levels of protective kinases were compared to a control group that was exposed to ambient air conditions. MIF secretion was quantified by ELISA and AIP-induced activation of protein kinases was assessed by Western blotting of cardiomyocyte lysates after isoflurane treatment. Results In cardiomyocytes, preconditioning with isoflurane resulted in a significantly elevated secretion of MIF that followed a biphasic behavior (30 min vs. baseline: p = 0.020; 24 h vs. baseline p = 0.000). Moreover, quantitative polymerase chain reaction demonstrated a significant increase in MIF mRNA expression 8 h after AIP. Of note, activation of AMPK and PKCε coincided with the observed peaks in MIF secretion and differed significantly from baseline. Conclusions These results suggest that the pleiotropic mediator MIF is involved in anesthetic-induced preconditioning of cardiomyocytes through stimulation of the protective kinases AMPK and PKCε.

Abstract
Sedating animals is sometimes necessary in experimental research. This paper presents and discusses the influence of four of the most common anesthetic agents on cardiovascular parameters in rats. We also studied the influence of body temperature. Ten-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized with either isoflurane, pentobarbital, ketamine/xylazine or tiletamine/zolazepam (n = 12 in each group). A pressure-sensing catheter was placed in the right carotid artery for the continuous measurement of arterial pressure, and echocardiography was performed. Indices of cardiac function were significantly higher in the tiletamine/zolazepam rats compared with the other groups. Heart rate was highest but stroke volume lowest with pentobarbital. Left ventricular diastolic dimension was lower in the pentobarbital and tiletamine/zolazepam rats compared with the isoflurane or ketamine/xylazine rats. Intraventricular diastolic pressure was similar in all groups whereas intraventricular systolic pressure, as well as both systolic and diastolic aortic pressures, was significantly higher in the tiletamine/zolazepam rats compared with the other groups. No hemodynamic indices differed significantly among the isoflurane, pentobarbital and ketamine/xylazine rats. Lowering body temperature significantly reduced heart rate and cardiac output but had no apparent effect on hemodynamic parameters. In conclusion, although cardiac functional parameters differed between the different anesthetic agents in ways that could be of relevance to the researcher, they may all have a role in experimental cardiology. Importantly, tiletamine/zolazepam anesthesia resulted in significantly higher indices of cardiac function and elevated blood pressures compared with the other anesthetic agents, a finding that should be kept in mind when interpreting data obtained in rats sedated on this regimen.

Abstract
Emulsified isoflurane (EIso) preconditioning can induce cardioprotection. We investigated whether EIso application after ischemia protects hearts against reperfusion injury and whether it is mediated by the inhibition of apoptosis. Rats were subjected to 30-min coronary occlusion followed by 180-min reperfusion. At the onset of reperfusion, rats were intravenously administered saline (sham, control group), 30 % intralipid (IL group) or 2 ml kg(-1) EIso (EIso group) for 30 min. After reperfusion, infarct sizes, myocardial apoptosis and expression of Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3 proteins were determined. Hemodynamic parameters were not different among groups. Compared with control and intralipid group, EIso limited infarct size, inhibited apoptosis, increased the expression of Bcl-2, decreased the expression of Bax, cleaved caspase-3, and enhanced Bcl-2/Bax ratio. EIso protects hearts against reperfusion injury when administered at the onset of reperfusion, which may be mediated by the inhibition of apoptosis via modulation of the expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helium inhalation protects myocardium, brain and endothelium against ischemia/reperfusion injury in animals and humans, when applied according to specific "conditioning" protocols. Before widespread use of this "conditioning" agent in clinical practice, negative side effects have to be ruled out. We investigated the effect of prolonged helium inhalation on the responsiveness of the human immune response in whole blood ex vivo. METHODS Male healthy volunteers inhaled 30 minutes heliox (79%He/21%O(2)) or air in a cross over design, with two weeks between measurements. Blood was withdrawn at T0 (baseline), T1 (25 min inhalation) and T2-T5 (1, 2, 6, 24 h after inhalation) and incubated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), lipoteichoic acid (LTA), T-cell stimuli anti-CD3/ anti-CD28 (TCS) or RPMI (as control) for 2, 4 and 24 hours or not incubated (0 h). An additional group of six volunteers inhaled 60 minutes of heliox or air, followed by blood incubation with LPS and RPMI. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) was analyzed by cytometric bead array. Statistical analysis was performed by the Wilcoxon test for matched samples. RESULTS Incubation with LPS, LTA or TCS significantly increased TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IFN-γ and IL-2 in comparison to incubation with RPMI alone. Thirty min of helium inhalation did not influence the amounts of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IFN-γ and IL-2 in comparison to air. Sixty min of helium inhalation did not affect cytokine production after LPS stimulation. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that 79% helium inhalation does not affect the responsiveness of the human immune system in healthy volunteers.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world. Acute myocardial infarction, resulting from coronary artery atherosclerosis, is a serious and often fatal consequence of coronary artery disease, resulting in cell death in the myocardium. Pre- and post-conditioning of the myocardium are two treatment strategies that reduce the amount of cell death significantly. Hydrogen sulfide has recently been identified as a potent cardioprotective signaling molecule, which is a highly effective pre- and post-conditioning agent. The cardioprotective signaling pathways involved in hydrogen sulfide-based pre- and post-conditioning will be explored in this article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed myocardial preconditioning by volatile anesthetics involves changes in DNA transcription and translation. Mitochondria play a central role in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and in ischemic or pharmacologic preconditioning. In this study, we investigated whether there are alterations in myocardial mitochondrial protein expression after volatile anesthetic preconditioning (APC) to examine the underlying mechanisms of delayed cardioprotection. METHODS Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups (n = 12 for each group). Rats in the delayed APC group were exposed to sevoflurane (2.5% for 60 minutes) 24 hours before myocardial ischemia was induced. Myocardial ischemia in the I/R and APC groups was induced by left coronary artery occlusion for 30 minutes, followed by 120 minutes of reperfusion. The control group received no treatment. The mitochondria fractions were prepared by differential centrifugation with density gradient isolation for proteomic analysis. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization with time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to identify differences in the protein expression from mitochondria of the rat hearts. RESULTS Fifteen differentially expressed mitochondrial proteins between the APC group and I/R group were identified and the expression patterns of 2 of the proteins were confirmed by Western blot analysis. These proteins were associated with mitochondrial substrate metabolism, respiration, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)/adenosine diphosphate transport. The modifications of the mitochondrial proteome suggest an enhanced capacity of mitochondria to maintain myocardial ATP levels after I/R injury. CONCLUSION Delayed sevoflurane myocardial preconditioning induces mitochondrial proteome remodeling, which mainly involves proteins that are related to ATP generation and transport. Therefore, proteomic changes related to bioenergetic balance may be the mechanistic basis of delayed anesthetic myocardial preconditioning.

Abstract
Myocardial ischaemia is followed by some reversibile or ireversibile changes. The aim of cardioplegia is to protect numerous intracellular processes: to spare the intracellular energy stores, to reduce the free oxygen radicals synthesis, to protect the function of the endothelium and myocardial oxygen balance as well as ionic balance. The crystalloid or blood cardioplegia, with anterograde or retrograde infusion, is a basic procedure of the intraoperative cardiac protection. Glucose-insulin-potassium solution was primarily used in a myocardial infarction. After the first promising results, some surgical teams started to use the high glucose-insulin-potassium solution, as a metabolic modulation approach, during a coronary surgery as addition to cardioplegia. During ischaemia, a number of intracellular mechanisms deteriorate with bioenergy misbalance and decrease of cellular functional reserve. In particular, the regulation of contractility in response to loading, alteration in autocrine or paracrine regulation in metabolically stressed hearts and acquired, "learned" tolerance of muscle to deteriorate perfusion (preconditioning) are examples of a variety of the cardiac adaptation. The further improvement in the metabolic modulation during a coronary surgery was made with fluorine ion halogenated volatile aneasthetics used for anaesthesia. The results of some experimental and first clinical studies induced a new approach to the modulation of the intracellular metabolic mechanisms and announced a new concept of anaesthetic preconditioning in coronary surgery. Large, randomized studies are needed to evaluate anaesthetic preconditioning and dependence of its efficiency on type and dose of volatile anaesthetics as well as the role of gene regulation in cardioprotection.

Abstract
The occurrence of myocardial ischaemia will result in either reversible or irreversible myocardial dysfunction. Even when revascularization is successful, some reperfusion injury may occur that transiently impairs myocardial function. Therefore, treatment should not only be directed towards prompt restoration of myocardial blood flow but measures should also be taken to prevent or alleviate the consequences of myocardial reperfusion injury. Over the years, various strategies have been developed. The present contribution reviews a number of these strategies focusing on pharmacological treatments that have been developed to address myocardial reperfusion injury.

Abstract
The cardioprotective properties of volatile anesthetics have been widely demonstrated by numerous randomized studies and meta-analyses in the setting of cardiac surgery, above of all during coronary artery bypass grafting procedures. Recently, conflicting results have been presented in cardiac non-coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Unfortunately, despite the existence of a great number of studies comparing a total intravenous anesthetic regimen with an inhalational regimen, at present there are no randomized studies presenting data regarding mortality and important outcomes, such as myocardial infarction, in non-cardiac surgery. In this review we analyze and present the results of the most recent and important studies regarding anesthetic preconditioning in cardiac and in noncardiac surgery. Furthermore, we focus on the emerging data from animal experiments, discussing in particular the molecular mechanisms underlying anesthetic preconditioning.

Abstract
Infarct size can be limited by reducing the determinants of infarct size or increasing collateral blood flow by treatment initiated before the ischaemic event. Reperfusion is the definitive treatment for permanently reducing infarct size and restoring some degree of contractile function to the affected myocardium. Innate survival mechanisms in the heart can be stimulated by short, non-lethal periods of ischaemia and reperfusion, applied either before or after the ischaemic event. Preconditioning, a series of transient intervals of ischaemia and reperfusion applied before the lethal 'index' ischaemic event, sets in motion molecular and cellular mechanisms that increase cardiomyocyte survival to a degree that had not hitherto been seen before. The cardioprotective ischaemic-reperfusion protocol applied at onset of reperfusion, termed 'postconditioning' (Postcon), is also associated with significant cardioprotection that can be applied at the point of reperfusion treatment in the catheterization laboratory or operating room. Both preconditioning and Postcon have been successfully applied to the clinical setting and have been found to reduce infarct size and other attributes of post-ischaemic injury. This review will summarize the physiological preclinical data on preconditioning and Postcon that are relevant to their translation to clinical therapeutics and treatment.

Abstract
Anaesthetists provide comprehensive perioperative medical care to patients undergoing surgical and diagnostic procedures, including postoperative intensive care when needed. They are involved in the management of perioperative acute pain as well as chronic pain. This manuscript considers some of the recent advances in modern anaesthesia and their contribution to surgery, from the basic mechanisms of action, to the delivery systems for general and regional anaesthesia, to the use of new drugs and new methods of monitoring. It assesses the resulting progress in acute and chronic pain services and looks at patient safety and risk management. It speculates on directions that may shape its future contributions to the management of the patient undergoing surgery.

Abstract
Therapeutic strategies to protect the ischemic myocardium have been studied extensively. Reperfusion is the definitive treatment for acute coronary syndromes, especially acute myocardial infarction; however, reperfusion has the potential to exacerbate lethal tissue injury, a process termed "reperfusion injury." Ischemia/reperfusion injury may lead to myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias, and contractile dysfunction. Ischemic preconditioning of myocardium is a well described adaptive response in which brief exposure to ischemia/reperfusion before sustained ischemia markedly enhances the ability of the heart to withstand a subsequent ischemic insult. Additionally, the application of brief repetitive episodes of ischemia/reperfusion at the immediate onset of reperfusion, which has been termed "postconditioning," reduces the extent of reperfusion injury. Ischemic pre- and postconditioning share some but not all parts of the proposed signal transduction cascade, including the activation of survival protein kinase pathways. Most experimental studies on cardioprotection have been undertaken in animal models, in which ischemia/reperfusion is imposed in the absence of other disease processes. However, ischemic heart disease in humans is a complex disorder caused by or associated with known cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, and heart failure; additionally, aging is an important modifying condition. In these diseases and aging, the pathological processes are associated with fundamental molecular alterations that can potentially affect the development of ischemia/reperfusion injury per se and responses to cardioprotective interventions. Among many other possible mechanisms, for example, in hyperlipidemia and diabetes, the pathological increase in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and the use of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel inhibitor insulin secretagogue antidiabetic drugs and, in aging, the reduced expression of connexin-43 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 may disrupt major cytoprotective signaling pathways thereby significantly interfering with the cardioprotective effect of pre- and postconditioning. The aim of this review is to show the potential for developing cardioprotective drugs on the basis of endogenous cardioprotection by pre- and postconditioning (i.e., drug applied as trigger or to activate signaling pathways associated with endogenous cardioprotection) and to review the evidence that comorbidities and aging accompanying coronary disease modify responses to ischemia/reperfusion and the cardioprotection conferred by preconditioning and postconditioning. We emphasize the critical need for more detailed and mechanistic preclinical studies that examine car-dioprotection specifically in relation to complicating disease states. These are now essential to maximize the likelihood of successful development of rational approaches to therapeutic protection for the majority of patients with ischemic heart disease who are aged and/or have modifying comorbid conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protecting the myocardium from ischemia-reperfusion injury has significant potential to reduce the complications of myocardial infarction and interventional revascularization procedures. Reperfusion damage is thought to result, in part, from oxidative stress. Here we use a novel method of percutaneous coronary occlusion to show that the potent antioxidant and neuroprotective free-radical scavenger, stilbazulenyl nitrone (STAZN), confers marked cardioprotection when given immediately prior to reperfusion. METHODS AND RESULTS Physiologically controlled male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized with isoflurane, paralyzed with pancuronium and mechanically ventilated. A guide wire was introduced via the femoral artery and advanced retrogradely via the aorta into the left coronary artery under fluoroscopic guidance. Rats with established coronary ischemia (85 min after occlusion) were given STAZN 3.5 mg/kg or its vehicle 5 min before and 2 h after reperfusion, and were subjected to functional and histopathologic studies at 3 days. Ischemia-associated Q wave amplitude was reduced by 73% in STAZN-treated rats (P=0.01), while infarct-related ejection fraction, fractional shortening and severe regional wall-motion impairments were improved by 48%, 54% and 37%, respectively, relative to vehicle-treated controls (P=0.05). Total myocardial infarct volume in STAZN-treated rats was correspondingly reduced by 43% (P<0.05), representing a sparing of 14% of the total left ventricular myocardium. CONCLUSIONS STAZN, a second-generation azulenyl nitrone with potent neuroprotective efficacy in brain ischemia, is also a rapidly acting and highly effective cardioprotective agent in acute coronary ischemia. Our results suggest the potential for clinical benefit in the setting of acute coronary syndromes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Brief episodes of ischemia and reperfusion after a lethal ischemic insult confer cardioprotection, a phenomenon termed "ischemic postconditioning." However, all studies reported to date have been conducted in open-chest animal models. We sought to determine whether postconditioning occurs in conscious animals and whether it protects against severe myocardial injury. METHODS Chronically instrumented rats were assigned to a 30- (Subset 1), 45- (Subset 2), or 60-min (Subset 3) coronary occlusion followed by 24 h of reperfusion. In each subset, rats received no further intervention (control), were preconditioned with 12 cycles of 2-min occlusion/2-min reperfusion immediately (early preconditioning; EPC) or 24 h (late preconditioning; LPC) before myocardial infarction, or were postconditioned with 20 cycles of 10-s occlusion/10-s reperfusion immediately after myocardial infarction (20-10 PostC). RESULTS With a 30-min occlusion, infarct size (54.4 +/- 2.3% of risk region in control-30) was significantly reduced in EPC-30, LPC-30, and 20-10 PostC-30 groups (by 72, 70, and 47%, respectively; all P < 0.05 vs. control-30). With a 45-min occlusion, infarct size (62.2 +/- 2.4% in control-45) was reduced in EPC-45 and LPC-45 groups (by 47 and 41%, respectively; all P < 0.05 vs. control-45) but not in the 20-10 PostC-45 group [55.4 +/- 2.3%, P = not significant (NS) vs. control-45]. With a 60-min occlusion, infarct size (72.7 +/- 2.2% in control-60) was reduced in the EPC-60 (by 20%, P < 0.05) but not in the LPC-60 (63.6 +/- 2.5%, P = NS) or in the 20-20 PostC group (71.5 +/- 3.4%, P = NS). CONCLUSIONS Both early and late ischemic preconditioning as well as ischemic postconditioning confer protection in conscious rats; however, unlike early preconditioning, postconditioning protects only against coronary occlusions <45 min. In the conscious rat, the cardioprotection afforded by postconditioning is limited to mild to moderate myocardial injury.

Abstract
Cardiac complications are the major cause of perioperative morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. This is related to the frequent presence of underlying coronary artery disease. In the last few decades, attention has focused on preoperative cardiac risk assessment that may help to identify patients at increased cardiac risk for whom cardioprotective medication and, when indicated, coronary revascularization may improve perioperative outcome. On the other hand, less attention was given to the role of anaesthesia and monitoring techniques in the cardiac risk management of high-risk patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The aim of this review was to summarize the current evidence from published studies on the effect of the type of anaesthesia and monitoring techniques on perioperative cardiac outcome in non-cardiac surgery.
