Objective: To conifrm the omentopexy decreasing the susceptibility of ventricular arrhythmia in experimental rats with chronic myocardial infarction (MI) by nerve remodeling.
Methods: The MI model of SD rats was established by left coronary artery ligation. 3 weeks later, the qualiifed animals were randomized into 3 groups for the 2nd operation. ① Sham operation group, the rats received the 2nd operation without ligation, ② Isolated MI group, the rats received the 2nd operation without omentopexy, ③ Omentopexy group, the rats received the 2nd operation with omentopexy. n=20 in each group. 4 weeks after the 2nd operation, the electrophysiological characteristics were assessed by relevant techniques, the new and sympathetic nerves in MI border zone were examined by immunohistochemistry, the protein expressions of connexin43 and nerve growth factor (NGF) were measured by western blot analysis and the cardiac endothelin-1 (ET-1) level was evaluated by ELISA.
Results: Compared with Isolated MI group, Omentopexy group showed decreased susceptibility of arrhythmia (3.5 ± 1.2) vs (0.9 ± 0.2), improved electrical transduction (1.5 ± 0.2) mV vs (3.4 ± 0.3) mV and decreased capture threshold (5.5 ± 0.3) mV vs (2.2 ± 0.2) mV, all P<0.05. Compared with Isolated MI group, immunihistochemisty indicated that Omentopexy group had decreased new and sympathetic nerves in MI border zone, as for GAP43:(1388.4 ± 244.9)μm2/mm2 vs (768.6 ± 144.1)μm2/mm2, for TH:(1552.4 ± 270.3)μm2/mm2 vs (1018.5 ± 124.7)μm2/mm2, all P<0.05. Western blot analysis showed that Omentopexy group had the lower NGF expression and higher connexin43 expression;ELISA demonstrated that Omentopexy group had the lower ET-1 expression, P<0.05.
Conclusion: Omentopexy may decrease the susceptibility of ventricular arrhythmia after MI in experimental rats, which might be related to the cardiac nerve remodeling.

Objective: To explore the effect of low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) preconditioning on milieu of infarcted myocardium in experimental rats.
Methods: The myocardial infarction (MI) model was established by left anterior descending (LAD) artery ligation in female rats. 3 weeks later, the qualified MI rats were randomly divided for 3 groups: ① LLLI preconditioning group, the rats received thoracotomy for LLLI by a 635nm, 5mW diode laser with the energy density of 0.96 J/cm2 for 150 seconds, n=26. ② Control group, the rats received thoracotomy for daylight irradiation, n=27. ③ Sham operation group, the rats received thoracotomy without LAD ligation, n=24. The Expressions of myocardial vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were evaluate by real time-PCR, Western blot analysis and other relevant laboratory test at 1 hour, 1 day and 1 week after treatment. The myocardial cell apoptosis was examined by TUNEL staining, and left ventricular function was detected by echocardiography.
Results: LLLI preconditioning obviously increased the myocardial VEGF, GRP78 expression and SOD activity, decreased MDA production; while it could not really improve the myocardial cell apoptosis at peri-infarcted area and left ventricular function in experimental rats.
Conclusion: LLLI preconditioning may improve the milieu of infarcted myocardium via decreasing the oxidative stress in experimental rats.

Objective: To explore the effect of omentopexy combining autologous atrial tissue patch cardiomyoplasty for treating the chronic myocardial infarction (MI) in experimental rats.
Methods:The MI model of SD rats was established by left coronary artery ligation. 3 weeks later, the qualiifed animals were randomized into 4 groups for the 2nd operation. ① Control group, the rats only received re-thoracotomy, ② Atrial appendage group, the autologous atrial tissue patch was harvested from left atrial appendage of rats and transplanted to infarcted zone, ③ Omentum group, the omentum of rats was transplanted to infarcted zone through diaphragm and ④ Combination group, the left atrial appendage tissue and omentum were transplanted to infarcted zone together. 4 weeks after the 2nd operation, the cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography, the size and scar thickness of the infarction were examined by Masson staining, the survival of transplanted atrial tissue and angiogenesis were measured by immunohistochemistry, the protein expressions of VEGF, MMPs and TIMP-3 were examined by Western blot analysis, and the activities of MMPs were
identiifed by gelatin zymography.
Results:4 week after the 2nd operation, transplanted left atrial appendage tissue only survived in Combination group. The areas of infarction were similar among different groups, P>0.05. Compared with Control group, Combination group had the increased scar thickness (329 ± 33)μm vs (391±31)μm, improved LVEF (47.5 ± 4.5)%vs (57.9 ± 5.8)%, improved LVFS (20.7 ± 2.0)%vs (25.2 ± 3.6)%, all P<0.05. Compared with Control group, both Omentum group and Combination group demonstrated higher density of angiogenesis at infracted area (33/0.2) mm2 vs (49/0.2) mm2 and (33/0.2) mm2 vs (48/0.2) mm2, all P<0.01. Combination group had decreased protein expressions of MMPs, while the expressions of TIMP-3 were similar among different groups, the activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were decreased by 68%, P=0.002 and 64%, P=0.016 respectively.
Conclusion:Omentopexy could improve the angiogenesis and support the survival of transplanted autologous atrial tissue patch, therefore improve the cardiac function in experimental rats with chronic MI.
