Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of ketamine on the expression of HSP 70 in myocardium in severely burned rats for its possible mechanism of myocardial protection. Methods Seventy-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: normal control group (group C, n=8), burn injury group (group BI, n= 32) and ketamine group (group K,n=32). 30% Wtal body surface area of Ⅲ degree burn model was developed in group BI and group K. Ketamine 20 mg/kg was injected IM in group K 15 min after the burn model was made. Equal volume of normal saline was given instead of ketamine in group BI. Group C received no treatment. The rats were sacrificed at 3, 6, 12 and 24 h after administration in group BI and group K respectively(8 rats at each time point). Myocardial samples were obtained for determination of the expression of HSP 70 by Western blot analysis. The myocardial ultrastructure was observed at 3 h after administration with electron microscope. Results The myocardial damage was milder in group K than in group BI. The expression of HSP 70 was significantly higher at 3, 6, 12 and 24 h after administration in group K and group BI than in group C(P<0.05).The HSP 70 expression was significantly higher at 3 and 6 h after administration in group K than in group BI ( P<0.05). Conclusion Ketamine can reduce the myocardial injury induced by severe burn through up-regulating the expression of HSP 70 in cardiocytes.
