As such, there is a need for inexpensive, minimally invasive, and simple fat reduction/contouring technique. Objective To examine the acid-base and histological changes in ex vivo human adipose tissue after electrochemolipolysis (ECL). Design, Setting, and Participants Panniculus tissue specimens obtained after abdominoplasty procedures were tumesced with normal saline. Two platinum needle electrodes were inserted into each sample and connected to a DC power supply. Voltage (3-6 V) was varied and applied for 5 min. Specimens were sectioned through a sagittal midline across both electrode insertion sites and immediately stained with pH-sensitive dye. A numerical algorithm was used to calculate the area of the dye color change for each dosimetry pair. Samples were also evaluated utilizing light microscopy (hematoxylin and eosin). An ex vivo human adipose tissue model was used for evaluating the effects of ECL. Resultnonsurgical fat reduction as an ultralow cost alternative to current lipolytic devices and pharmaceuticals. Level of Evidence NA.Background The adult mammalian heart has limited regenerative capacity, mostly due to postnatal cardiomyocyte (CM) cell cycle arrest. In the last two decades, numerous studies have explored CM cell cycle regulatory mechanisms to enhance myocardial regeneration post myocardial infarction (MI). Pyruvate kinase muscle isozyme 2 (Pkm2) is an isoenzyme of the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase. The role of Pkm2 in CM proliferation, heart development and cardiac regeneration is unknown. Methods We investigated the effect of Pkm2 in CM through models of loss (CM-specific Pkm2 deletion during cardiac development) or gain using CM-specific Pkm2 modified mRNA (CMSPkm2 modRNA) to evaluate Pkm2 function and regenerative affects post-acute or -chronic MI in mice. Results Here, we identify Pkm2 as
