MECHANICAL UNLOADING OF THE HEART DUAlNO l!?CHEMA AND REPEAFUSION FAILS TO WIT INFARCT SIZE IN THE RABBIT. Allson C. Cave, *John G. Klngme Jr, David J. Hearse. CardovascularResearch,The Rayne Institute,St. Thomas’Hospital,

ULTRASTRUCTURAL AND CYTOCHRMICAL EFFECT OF PAF-ACETHER AND ITS ANTAGONIST BN-52021 ON THE GUINEA PIG HEART of Pharmacology and Forensic Susanna &ertess,Istvan BaloghTValeria Kecskem&i.Depts. Medicine, Semmelweis University of Medicine, Budapest,Hungary. Progressive calcium and nickel cytocheaical changes have been quantitated in muscle of guinea pig heart by PAF-acether/Sigma/ and its antagonist BN-52021/the gift of P. Braquet/.Hearts were perfused according to Langendorff and they were incubated in Tyrode solution containing 10e7M PAF-acether alone or after pretreatment of 10-k BN52021.Samples were taken for routine electrnmicroscopic technlque,for calcium cytochemistry/K pyroantimonate,Pb acetate/and nickel cytochemistry/dimethylglioxime/.PAF caused the following changes:a thrombocytic adhesion and aggregation in capillary; separation between the coronary endothelial and smooth muscle layers; ischemic-like BN-52021 prevented the intraalteration in perivascularly localated muscle cells. cellular and intramitochondrial swelliug,the changes in permeability,the separation between eodothelial and middle layers of coronary caused by PAF. PAF resulted in a depletion of calcium deposits from the cytoplasma and sarcolemma.The latter depletion can be prevented by BN-52021.Ni-dimethylglioxime canplexes could be observed in the vessel lumina,platelets,endothelial cellular pynocytic vesicles,smooth muscle layers of coronary artery,SR and subsarcolemmalvesicles wall by PAF perfusion.BN-52021 was not able to prevent the appereance of Ni particles but it could decrease their number This work was supported by OTKA Eu.Min.622.

Antianginal effect of drugs was estimated according to their influence on dynamics of *lischemicll ECG after gradual compression of coronar? artery of the nonanaesthetized rabbits. Cardloprotective activity was determined by the restriction of myccardial infarct zone 4 hours after occlusion of the coronary artery of rats. All drugs were administered intravenous1 Sodium malate (100 m&kg), ascorbic acid f5 mg/kg 5' , dehydroascorbit acid (5 mg/kgl were active as sntianginal end cardioprotective drugs. Fructose-1,6-diphoephate (100 mg/kg) and qytochrome C (20 mg/kg) decreased sizes of infarct zone to 59 and 5% of control value respectively.without any positive effects on angina1 syndrome. Antienginal and cardioprotective activity of noted above agents correlates with sarcolemmal permeability of ischemic cardiomyocytea.
