Abstract:
Objective:To study if L-arginine cardioplegia can protect myocardium from ischemia/reperfusion injury. Method:Fourteen patients undergoing valve replacement were randomly divided into two groups:control group (crystal cardioplegia,C group),and test group(crystal cardioplegia+L-arginine,E group). Before aortic-clamping and after aortic unclamping,blood samples were taken to measure the concentrations of NO_2~-/NO_3~-, lactic acid (LA), malonylaldehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), xanthine oxidase (XOD). Immediately after aortic clamping and before aortic-unclamping, tissues were taken from the left atrial and examed with electron microscopy. Result: In C group NO_2~-/NO_3~- level decreased at aortic unclamping, 30 minutes later decreased significantly compared with that before aortic-clamping(P
