RESUMEN
This study aimed to investigate the cardioprotective effect of quinacrine in an in vivo model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. A 30-min regional myocardial ischemia followed by a 2-h reperfusion was modeled in anesthetized Wistar rats. Starting at the last minute of ischemia and during the first 9 min of reperfusion the rats in the control (n=8) and experimental (n=9) groups were injected with 0.9% NaCl and quinacrine solution (5 mg/kg), respectively. The area at risk and infarct size were evaluated by "double staining" with Evans blue and triphenyltetrazolium chloride. To assess vascular permeability in the area at risk zone, indocyanine green (ICG) and thioflavin S (ThS) were injected intravenously at the 90th and 120th minutes of reperfusion, respectively, to assess the no-reflow zone. The images of ICG and ThS fluorescence in transverse sections of rat hearts were obtained using a FLUM multispectral fluorescence organoscope. HR tended to decrease by 13% after intravenous administration of quinacrine and then recovered within 50 min. Quinacrine reduced the size of the necrotic zone (p=0.01), vascular permeability in the necrosis region, and the no-reflow area (p=0.027); at the same time, the area at risk did not significantly differ between the groups. Intravenous administration of quinacrine at the beginning of reperfusion of the rat myocardium reduces no-reflow phenomenon and infarct size.

The effects of bariatric surgeries (sleeve gastrectomy and ileal transposition) on the dynamics of changes in ghrelin level were studied in rats with severe decompensated type 2 diabetes mellitus under conditions of glucose challenge as well as on the size of myocardial infarction in these animals. Diabetes was modelled by high fat diet and a single administration of streptozotocin (25 mg/kg, intraperitoneally). Both bariatric surgeries significantly decreased glucose-induced ghrelin level in the blood of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which attested to an increase in the tissue sensitivity to ghrelin. Sleeve gastrectomy resulted in a decrease in the size of myocardial infarction in diabetic rats, which was calculated as the ratio of the necrosis zone to the zone of the risk of myocardial infarction. Ileal transposition had no effect on this parameter. Our data can be used as the basis for optimization of treatment approaches when using bariatric surgery in the treatment of patients with severe forms of type 2 diabetes mellitus with a high risk of cardiovascular diseases.
