Abstract:
AIM:To investigate the change in myocardial mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]m) and its mechanism in the early stage of severe burn. METHODS:An experimental model of 30%TBSA full-thickness skin scalding was reproduced in rats. [Ca2+]m, cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c) and mitochondrial Ca2+ transport velocity were determined. RESULTS: ① [Ca2+]m increased evidently at 1st hour postburn, and continuously at 3rd hour, reached the peak at 6th hour postburn, then, it decreased at 12th and 24th hour, but remained in higher level than that of the control. ② There was no significant difference in [Ca2+]c between 1st hour postburn and the control, but [Ca2+]c increased evidently at 3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th hour postburn. ③ mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake velocity at 1st hour postburn was higher than that of control, and Ca2+ release velocity didn't change obviously, but both of them were decreased at 3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th hour postburn. ④ [Ca2+]m was positive correlated with [Ca2+]c after burn, and negative correlated with mitochondrial Ca2+ release velocity at 3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th hour postburn, respectively. CONCLUSION: There was obvious Ca2+ overload in myocardial mitochondria after severe burn, the mechanism of which might include ascent of [Ca2+]c and disorder of Ca2+ transport in mitochondria.
