Differential Depression of Myocardial Function and Metabolism by Lactate and H+

We conclude that for similar acute contractility depression, high [lactate] induces irreversible damage, likely at some point in the pathway of O2 utilization. In contrast, the effect of high [H+] appears reversible. These differential behaviors may have implications for heart function during heavy exercise and ischemia-reperfusion events.

Intermittent Pressure Augmentation During Retrograde Cerebral Perfusion Under Moderate Hypothermia Provides Adequate Neuroprotection: An Experimental Study

For cerebral protection during aortic surgery, we introduced a novel retrograde cerebral perfusion method with intermittent pressure augmentation.
