Objective: To investigate effects of Shengmai injection (SMI) postconditioning on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) in isolated rat hearts. Materials and methods: A total of thirty isolated hearts were randomly divided into three groups: Sham group, I/R group and SMI group. Sham group was continuously perfused with K-H solution for 120 minutes. I/R group and SMI group were given balanced perfusion for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 60 min, with an interval of 30 min, and those in the SMI group were given postconditioning with 1% SMI during the first 10 min of reperfusion. The left ventricular function, markers of myocardial injury, endothelial cell injury and oxidative stress injury were measured at 30 minutes after equilibration (t0), 30 minutes after ischemia (t2) and 60 minutes after reperfusion (t3). Results: The results showed that there was no significant difference for all observation indexes at t0. Compared with the Sham group, real portfolio project and coronary arterial flow rate and the activity of superoxide dismutase were significantly decreased in the I/R group, whereas those in the SMI group were significantly higher. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, the concentrate of malondialdehyde, lactate dehydrogenase, cTn-I, hyaluronic acid, heparin sulphate, syndecan-1 in the I/R group were markedly higher than those in the Sham group, whereas those in the SMI group were significantly lower. Conclusion: In summary, the present study indicated that 1% SMI postconditioning can alleviate the detachment of endothelial cell glycoprotein envelope induced by myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and its mechanism is probably related to the inhibition of the oxidative stress injury.
