摘要
Objective： We compare the cardioprotective effects of anesthetic preconditioning by propofol and/or isoflurane in rats with ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods： Male adult Wistar rats were subjected to 60 min of anterior descending coronary artery occlusion followed by 120 rain of reperfusion. Before the long ischemia, anesthetics were administered twice for 10 min followed by 5 min washout. Isoflurane was inhaled at 1 MAC （0.016） in I group, whereas propofol was inhaled intravenously at 37.5 mg/（kg.h） in P group. A combination ofisoflurane and propofol was administered simultaneously in I＋P group. Results： In control （without anesthetic preconditioning, C group）, remarkable myocardial infarction and apoptosis accompanied by an increased level of cardiac troponin T were noted 120 min aider ischemia-reperfusion. As compared to those of control group, I and P groups had comparable cardioprotection. In addition, I＋P group shares with I and P groups the comparable cardioprotective effects in terms of myocardial infarction and cardiac troponin T elevation. Conclusion： A combination of isoflurane and propofol produced no additional cardioprotection.

A combination of isoflurane and propofol was administered simultaneously in I+P group. Results: In control (without anesthetic preconditioning, C group), remarkable myocardial infarction and apoptosis accompanied by an increased level of cardiac troponin T were noted 120 min after ischemia-reperfusion. As compared to those of control group, I and P groups had comparable cardioprotection. In addition, I+P group shares with I and P groups the comparable cardioprotective effects in terms of myocardial infarction and cardiac troponin T elevation. Conclusion: A combination of isoflurane and propofol produced no ad-ditional cardioprotection.
