Abstract
Background —Little is known about the effect of heart cell transplantation into the dilated cardiomyopathic myocardium. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of heart cell transplantation into dilated cardiomyopathic hamsters. Methods and Results —Ventricular heart cells were isolated from 4-week-old BIO 53.58 hamsters and cultured for 2 weeks before transplantation. The cells were labeled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) before transplantation for identification. Adult hamsters (17 weeks old) were used as recipients. Heart cells (4×10 6 cells) or culture medium was transplanted into the left ventricular free wall (transplantation and control groups, respectively, n=12 each). Sham-operated hamsters (n=12) underwent the surgery but not the transplantation. Cyclosporine A was administered subcutaneously to all hamsters daily after the operation. Four weeks after the transplantation, heart function was evaluated with the use of a Langendorff preparation. Histology showed severe focal myocardial necrosis in all groups. BrdU-stained tissue was found at the cell transplantation sites. The transplanted hearts had greater ( P <0.001) developed pressures at all balloon volumes and improved dP/dt (transplantation 915±253 versus control 453±120 and sham 530±187 mm Hg/s, P <0.001, balloon volume of 15 μL). No differences in ventricular function were found between control and sham-operated hamsters. Conclusions —The transplanted ventricular heart cells formed cardiac-like tissue in cardiomyopathic myocardium and improved its contractile function.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
