¹Cardiovascular Surgery, First Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital, ²Medical School of Chinese PLA

This protocol presents a model of long-term ventricular fibrillation in rat hearts induced by continuous stimulation with low-voltage alternating current. This model has a high success rate, is stable, reliable, and reproducible, has a low impact on cardiac function, and causes only mild myocardial injury.

Mesenchymal stem cells from the jaw bone marrow have significant functions in diverse differentiation, self-renewal, and immune modulation. They have emerged as a crucial reservoir of precursor cells in gene therapy, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Here, we present a unique method for isolating jaw bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in rats.
