Objective: Nitric oxide (NO) plays several protective roles in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Neonates undergoing the Norwood procedure are subject to develop I/R injury due to the immaturity of their organs and the potential need to interrupt or decrease systemic flow during surgery. We hypothesized that NO administration during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) ameliorates the I/R and could help the postoperative recovery after the Norwood procedure. Methods: Twenty-four neonates who underwent a Norwood procedure were enrolled in a prospective randomized blinded controlled trial to receive NO (12 patients) or placebo (12 patients) into the oxygenator of the CPB circuit during the Norwood procedure. Markers of I/R injury were collected at baseline (T0), after weaning from CPB before modified ultrafiltration (T1), after modified ultrafiltration (T2), and at 12 hours (T3) and 24 hours (T4) after surgery, and they were compared between both groups, as well as other postoperative clinical variables. Results: There was no difference in age, weight, anatomical diagnosis, CPB, and aortic cross-clamp time between both groups. Troponin levels were lower in the study group at T1 (0.62 ± 58 ng/mL vs 0.87 ± 0.58 ng/mL, P = .31) and became significantly lower at T2 (0.36 ± 0.32 ng/mL vs 0.97 ± 0.48 ng/mL, P = .009).There were no significant differences between both groups for all other markers. Despite a lower troponin level, there was no difference in inotropic scores or ventricular function between both groups. Time to start diuresis, time to sternal closure and extubation, and intensive care unit and hospital stay were not different between both groups. Conclusion: Systemic administration of NO during the Norwood procedure has myocardial protective effects (lower Troponin levels) but we observed no effect on postoperative recovery. Larger sample size may be needed to show clinical differences.

The aim of the experiment was to evaluate the effect of preconditioning based on changes in inspiratory oxygen fraction on endothelial function in the model of ischemia-reperfusion injury of the myocardium in the condition of cardiopulmonary bypass. The prospective randomized study included 32 rabbits divided into four groups: hypoxic preconditioning, hyperoxic preconditioning, hypoxic-hyperoxic preconditioning, and control group. All animals were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated. We provided preconditioning, then started cardiopulmonary bypass, followed by induced acute myocardial infarction (ischemia 45 min, reperfusion 120 min). We investigated endothelin-1, nitric oxide metabolites, asymmetric dimethylarginine during cardiopulmonary bypass: before ischemia, after ischemia, and after reperfusion. We performed light microscopy of myocardium, kidney, lungs, and gut mucosa. The endothelin-1 level was much higher in the control group than in all preconditioning groups after ischemia. The endothelin-1 even further increased after reperfusion. The total concentration of nitric oxide metabolites was significantly higher after all types of preconditioning compared with the control group. The light microscopy of the myocardium and other organs revealed a diminished damage extent in the hypoxic-hyperoxic preconditioning group as compared to the control group. Hypoxic-hyperoxic preconditioning helps to maintain the balance of nitric oxide metabolites, reduces endothelin-1 hyperproduction, and enforces organ protection.

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MIR) injury easily occurrs during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in elderly patients. In an attempt to develop an effective strategy, we employed a pig model of MIR injury to investigate the maximum rate of change of left ventricular pressure, left ventricular enddiastolic pressure, and left intraventricular pressure. Coronary sinus cardiac troponin T (TnT) and adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) content in myocardium were measured. The ultrastructures for MIR injury were visualized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The role ofδ-opioid receptor activation using D-Ala2, D-Leu5-enkephalin (DADLE) in both early (D1) and late (D2) phases of cardioprotection was identified. Also, the merit of cardioprotection by DADLE in combination with anisodamine, the muscarinic receptor antagonist (D+M), was evaluated. Glibenclamide was employed at the dose sufficient to block ATP-sensitive potassium channels. Significant higher cardiac indicators, reduced TnT and increased ATP contents, were observed in D1, D2, and D+M groups compared with the control group. DADLE induced protection was better in later phase of ischemia that was attenuated by glibenclamide. DADLE after the ischemia showed no benefit, but combined treatment with anisodamine showed a marked postischemic cardioprotection. Thus, anisodamine is helpful in combination with DADLE for postischemic cardioprotection.
