Objective Preparation of a stable and reliable atrioventricular blockage ( AVB) animal model is of great im-portance to anti-arrhythmic drugs and biological engineering research .The aim of the article was to establish a rat model of AVB in-duced by chemical ablation, providing an effective animal model for the development of new drugs . Methods 60 adult SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=15): normal saline (NS) group, Verapmil (Ver) group, chemical ablation group 1 and chemical ablation group 2.0.9%NaCl (5 mg/kg) was injected into caudal vein of each rat in NS group .Verapmil (5 mg/kg) was injected into the caudal vein in Ver group.Anhydrous ethanol(50μL)was injected into atrioventricular groove area in chemical abla-tion group 1.Anhydrous ethanol(50μL) was injected into atrioventricular node area in chemical ablation group 2.The electrocardio-grams of the rats were examined by electrophysiological recorder.HE staining and Connexin 43 (CX43) immunohistochemical tech-nique were applied to atrioventricular junctions of the rats . Results A rat model of AVB was successfully established .Compared with NS group([45 ±2.24]per field of view), there was a significant decrease in the CX43 expressions of chemical ablation group 1 and group 2 ([15.20 ±2.23]per field of view, [22.10 ±4.70]per field of view)(P<0.05).Concerning NS group and Ver group, myocyte tissues of the atrioventricular nodal region were detected to remain in order without obvious changes and the expres-sion of CX43 immunoreactive protein was obvious under light microscope.As to chemical ablation group 1 and group 2, myocyte tissues were in degenerative necrosis and the expression of CX43 im-munoreactive protein was in lighter staining.Compared with Ver group, the incidence rate(73.3%, 60.6%) and the mortality rate (33.3%, 26.7%)of third-degree AVB decreased remarkably(P<0.05). Conclusion Chemical ablation can be induced to estab-lish a stable and reliable rat model of AVB , providing an effective
animal model for the research and development of new anti-arrhythmic drugs.

AIM To study the characteristic of th e rapidly activating component (Ikr) and the slowly activating compone nt (Iks) of the delayed rectifier K+ current in guinea pig hypertrop hi ed ventricular myocytes induced by thyroxine. METHOD The whole c ell patch clamp techniques were used. RESULTS In hypertrophied ve ntricular myocytes, the magnitude of IKr and IKs were great ly augmented with more positive depolarizations, and the degree of increase of IKr tail and IKs were greater than that of IKr an d IKs tail, respectively. By measuring the amplitude of tail currents which reflected the degree of activation, the activation curve of IKs was shifted toward more negative potential, but that of IKr was marked ly unaffected in hypertrophied myocytes. CONCLUSION Hypertrophied ventricular myocytes induced by thyroxine obviously increased IKr and IKs.
