Ginseng is an important herbal drug that has been used worldwide for many years. Ginsenoside Rb1 (G-Rb1), the major pharmacological extract from ginseng, possesses a variety of biological activities in the cardiovascular systems. Here, we conducted a preclinical systematic review to investigate the efficacy of G-Rb1 for animal models of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and its possible mechanisms. Ten studies involving 211 animals were identified by searching 6 databases from inception to May 2017. The methodological quality was assessed by using the CAMARADES 10-item checklist. All the data were analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software. As a result, the score of study quality ranged from 3 to 7 points. Meta-analyses showed that G-Rb1 can significantly decrease the myocardial infarct size and cardiac enzymes (including lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and creatine kinase-MB) when compared with control group (P<0.01). Significant decrease in cardiac troponin T and improvement in the degree of ST-segment depression were reported in one study (P<0.05). Additionally, the possible mechanisms of G-Rb1 for myocardial infarction are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptosis, promoting angiogenesis and improving the circulation. Thus, G-Rb1 is a potential cardioprotective candidate for further clinical trials of myocardial infarction.

Arctigenin, one of the active ingredients extracted from Great Burdock (Arctium lappa) Achene, has been found to relieve myocardial infarction injury. However, the specific mechanism of Arctigenin against myocardial infarction remains largely unknown. Here, both acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (AMI/R) rat model and oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced myocardial cell injury model were constructed to explore the underlying role of AMPK/SIRT1 pathway in Arctigenin-mediated effects. The experimental data in our study demonstrated that Arctigenin ameliorated OGD-mediated cardiomyocytes apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress in a dose-dependent manner. Besides, Arctigenin activated AMPK/SIRT1 pathway and downregulated NF-κB phosphorylation in OGD-treated cardiomyocytes, while inhibiting AMPK or SIRT1 by the Compound C (an AMPK inhibitor) or SIRT1-IN-1 (a SIRT1 inhibitor) significantly attenuated Arctigenin-exerted protective effects on cardiomyocytes. In the animal experiments, Arctigenin improved the heart functions and decreased infarct size of the AMI/R-rats, accompanied with downregulated oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptotic levels in the heart tissues. What’s more, Arctigenin enhanced the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway and repressed NF-κB pathway activation. Taken together, our data indicated that Arctigenin reduced cardiomyocytes apoptosis against AMI/R-induced oxidative stress and inflammation at least via AMPK/SIRT1 pathway.

During the last three decades, timely myocardial reperfusion using either thrombolytic therapy or primary percutaneous intervention (pPCI) has allowed amazing improvements in outcomes with a more than halving in 1-year ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) mortality. However, mortality and left ventricle (LV) remodeling remain substantial in these patients. As such, novel therapeutic interventions are required to reduce myocardial infarction size, preserve LV systolic function, and improve survival in reperfused-STEMI patients. Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) prevention represents the main goal to reach in order to reduce STEMI mortality. There is currently no effective therapy for MIRI prevention in STEMI patients. A significant reason for the weak and inconsistent results obtained in this field may be the presence of multiple, partially redundant, mechanisms of cell death during ischemia-reperfusion, whose relative importance may depend on the conditions. Therefore, it is always more recognized that it is important to consider a “multi-targeted cardioprotective therapy”, defined as an additive or synergistic cardioprotective agents or interventions directed to distinct targets with different timing of application (before, during, or after pPCI). Given that some neprilysin (NEP) substrates (natriuretic peptides, angiotensin II, bradykinin, apelins, substance P, and adrenomedullin) exert a cardioprotective effect against ischemia-reperfusion injury, it is conceivable that antagonism of proteolytic activity by this enzyme may be considered in a multi-targeted strategy for MIRI prevention. In this review, by starting from main pathophysiological mechanisms promoting MIRI, we discuss cardioprotective effects of NEP substrates and the potential benefit of NEP pharmacological inhibition in MIRI prevention.

The incidence of myocardial infarction, among the causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, is increasing globally. In this study, left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, including LV systolic and diastolic function, was investigated in a rat myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury model with echocardiography. The homoisoflavanone sappanone A is known for its anti-inflammatory effects. Using echocardiography, we found that sappanone A administration significantly improved LV systolic and diastolic function in a rat myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury model, especially in the early phase development of myocardial infarction. Based on myocardial infarct size, serum cardiac marker assay, and histopathological evaluation, sappanone A showed higher efficacy at the doses used in our experiments than curcumin and was evaluated for its potential to improve LV function.

Objective: To investigate effects of Shengmai injection (SMI) postconditioning on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) in isolated rat hearts. Materials and methods: A total of thirty isolated hearts were randomly divided into three groups: Sham group, I/R group and SMI group. Sham group was continuously perfused with K-H solution for 120 minutes. I/R group and SMI group were given balanced perfusion for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 60 min, with an interval of 30 min, and those in the SMI group were given postconditioning with 1% SMI during the first 10 min of reperfusion. The left ventricular function, markers of myocardial injury, endothelial cell injury and oxidative stress injury were measured at 30 minutes after equilibration (t0), 30 minutes after ischemia (t2) and 60 minutes after reperfusion (t3). Results: The results showed that there was no significant difference for all observation indexes at t0. Compared with the Sham group, real portfolio project and coronary arterial flow rate and the activity of superoxide dismutase were significantly decreased in the I/R group, whereas those in the SMI group were significantly higher. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, the concentrate of malondialdehyde, lactate dehydrogenase, cTn-I, hyaluronic acid, heparin sulphate, syndecan-1 in the I/R group were markedly higher than those in the Sham group, whereas those in the SMI group were significantly lower. Conclusion: In summary, the present study indicated that 1% SMI postconditioning can alleviate the detachment of endothelial cell glycoprotein envelope induced by myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and its mechanism is probably related to the inhibition of the oxidative stress injury.

Objective.To investigate the effects of sufentanil preconditioning on Myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in rats in vivo.Methods. To randomly divide 50 male SD rats equally into 5 groups, including ischemia-reperfusion group( Group I/R ), ischemic preconditioning group(Group IPC), high-dose sufentanil preconditioning group(Group HS, 6.0µg/kg), medium-dose sufentanil preconditioning group(Group MS,2.0µg/kg) and low-dose sufentanil preconditioning group(Group LS, 0.60µg/kg).The left anterior descending coronary arterys(LAD) of rats in five groups are ligated for 30 minutes and are re-perfused for 90 minutes. To measure the myocardial infarction size (IS/AAR%) with double-staining with Even's blue and triphenyltetrazolium chloride, and to calculate the concentration of LK, LK-MB and LDH. Result. Comparing with Group 1/R , the myocardial infarction size(IS/AAR%) in Group IPC, HS, MS and LS all reduced at different levels. Among the Group HS, MS and LS, the infarction size in Group HS reduced most significantly. Comparing with Group 1/R, the concentration of the serum myocardial enzymes in the other four groups all reduced at different levels. Conclusion. Sufentanil preconditioning can reduce myocardial infarct size, decrease the concentration of the serum myocardial enzymes. Therefore, sufentanil preconditioning has protective effects on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats in vivo, and the effects are dose-dependent. Suffentanil is a potent kind of opioid analgesics, which is widely used in clinical anesthesia. However, further studies are needed on effects of sufentanil preconditioning on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury. In order to protect the Myocardial ischemia patients and provide the foundations for application of sufentanil in peri-operative period, the authors investigate the effects of sufentanil preconditioning on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury through comparison and analysis of the myocardial infarction size(IS), the concentration of the serum myocardial enzymes in the ischemia-reperfusion group(Group IPC), the ischemic preconditioning group(Group IPC) and different-dose sufentanil preconditioning group(Group HS, MS LS).
