Sevoflurane Alleviates Reperfusion Arrhythmia by Ameliorating TDR and MAPD90 in Isolated Rat Hearts after Ischemia-Reperfusion by Guilong Wang, Dongjun Dai, Hong Gao, Yanqiu Liu, Zijun Wang, Huayu Li, Xiaokui Fu

“…Twenty-four healthy SD male rats, weighing 280–320 g, were randomly divided into three groups after successful preparation of a Langendorff isolated heart perfusion model with a stabilization period perfusion of 15 min with Krebs–Henseleit (K–H) fluid (n = 8): the control group (group A, continuously perfused with K–H fluid for 105 min), the ischemia-reperfusion group (group B, continuously perfused with K–H fluid for 15 min, and then exposed to 60 min of global ischemia induced by Thomas solution followed by 30 min of reperfusion), and the sevoflurane group (group C, K–H fluid contained 1.0 MAC sevoflurane, and other procedures were same as in group B). Heart rate (HR) and MAPs including time course (MAPD50 or MAPD90) of the epicardium (Epi) and endocardium (Endo) were recorded at the time of balance perfusion for 15 min (T0), continuous perfusion for 15 min (T1), reperfusion for 15 min/continuous perfusion for 105 min (T2), and reperfusion for 30 min/continuous perfusion for 120 min (T3), and the transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR) was calculated. …”

Evaluation of Perinatal Outcome in Women with Impaired Glucose Homeostasis During Pregnancy by Neha SAHAY, Felice FAIZAL

“…Conclusion: Cases with abnormal glucose homeostasis of lesser degree than GDM, like only abnormal GCT, IFG and GGI also were observed to have adverse maternal outcomes than controls, in form of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, significantly higher LSCS rates, and increased risk of macrosomia. Instead of 2 step procedure, single step screening cum diagnostic test with 75 gm OGTT for diagnosing GDM could be an option to be universally practiced.…”
