Background
There are some early clinical indicators of cardiac ischemia, most notably a change in a person's electrocardiogram. Less well understood, but potentially just as dangerous, is ischemia that develops in the gastrointestinal system. Such ischemia is difficult to diagnose without angiography (an invasive and time-consuming procedure) mainly due to the highly unspecific nature of the disease. 相似文献32.

Perfusion of the isolated guinea pig heart with hypokalemic solution provide simple model for examination of the molecular mechanisms involved in the incidence of atrial and/or ventricular fibrillations. The results point out that dispersion of the metabolic and subcellular alterations and heterogenously impaired intercellular coupling might account for electrical disturbances and desynchronization of the myocardium thus facilitate occurrence of fibrillation. 相似文献

Background
Neuroimaging studies reliably identify two markers of error commission: the error-related negativity (ERN), an event-related potential, and functional MRI activation of the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC). While theorized to reflect the same neural process, recent evidence suggests that the ERN arises from the posterior cingulate cortex not the dACC. Here, we tested the hypothesis that these two error markers also have different genetic mediation.Methods
We measured both error markers in a sample of 92 comprised of healthy individuals and those with diagnoses of schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder or autism spectrum disorder. Participants performed the same task during functional MRI and simultaneously acquired magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography. We examined the mediation of the error markers by two single nucleotide polymorphisms: dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) C-521T (rs1800955), which has been associated with the ERN and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T (rs1801133), which has been associated with error-related dACC activation. We then compared the effects of each polymorphism on the two error markers modeled as a bivariate response.Results
We replicated our previous report of a posterior cingulate source of the ERN in healthy participants in the schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder groups. The effect of genotype on error markers did not differ significantly by diagnostic group. DRD4 C-521T allele load had a significant linear effect on ERN amplitude, but not on dACC activation, and this difference was significant. MTHFR C677T allele load had a significant linear effect on dACC activation but not ERN amplitude, but the difference in effects on the two error markers was not significant.Conclusions
DRD4 C-521T, but not MTHFR C677T, had a significant differential effect on two canonical error markers. Together with the anatomical dissociation between the ERN and error-related dACC activation, these findings suggest that these error markers have different neural and genetic mediation. 相似文献35.
In an isolated population of Drosophila melanogaster on Ishigaki Island the
chromosomal distribution of several retrotransposons, including copia, 412,
297, 17.6, I, and jockey elements, was examined by in situ hybridization.
In this population the cosmopolitan inversion, In(2L)t, is known to exist
in high frequency. One major haplotype concerning the occupied sites of the
transposable elements was identified in the In(2L)t-carrying chromosomes.
This haplotype is suggested to be the ancestral one. The age of the
inversion in this local population was estimated to be 1,400 generations.
The transposition rates of these elements were estimated based on the age
of the inversion and the number of the elements lost and gained. The
excision rates were in the range from 9.13 x 10(-5) to 2.25 x 10(-4) per
site per generation. They were similar each other in the copia-like
elements as well as in the LINE-like elements. The rate was higher in the
copia-like elements than in the LINE-like elements. Insertions occurred in
the range from 6.79 x 10(-4) to 9.05 x 10(-4) per element per generation.
It is herein shown that both insertions and excisions occurred at a
significantly higher rate in this population than in the laboratory.

The light subunit of mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, tyrosinase (LSMT), has been identified as an extrinsic component of the enzyme. Its function is unknown, but it can cross an epithelial cell layer, which suggests that it can be absorbed by the intestine. A similar capability has been demonstrated for the HA-33 component of the progenitor toxin from Clostridium botulinum, which is the closest structural homolog of LSMT. Unlike HA-33, LSMT appears to be non-immunogenic as shown by preliminary tests in Swiss Webster mice. We investigated the immunogenicity and histopathology of LSMT in mice to determine its safety in vivo. LSMT did not evoke generation of antibodies after prolonged periods of intraperitoneal administration. Histopathological observations confirmed the absence of responses in organs after twelve weekly administrations of LSMT. We found that LSMT is not toxic and is less immunogenic than the C. botulinum HA-33 protein, which supports further research and development for pharmaceutical application. 相似文献

The present study examined the physiological impact of a school based sprint interval training (SIT) intervention in replacement of standard physical education (SPE) class on cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF) and glucose homeostasis during the semester following summer vacation. Participants (n=49) were randomly allocated to either intervention (SIT; n=26, aged 16.9 ± 0.3 yrs) or control group who underwent standard physical education (SPE; n=23, aged 16.8 ± 0.6 yrs). CRF (VO2max) and glucose homeostasis were obtained prior-to and following 7 weeks of SIT exercise. Significant group x time interaction was observed for CRF (P < 0.01) with non-significant trends for fasting insulin (P= 0.08), and HOMA-IR (P=0.06). CRF decreased (P < 0.01) in SPE such that POST intervention CRF was significantly lower (P< 0.05) in SPE. Fasting plasma glucose (P < 0.01), insulin (P< 0.01) and HOMA-IR (P< 0.01) increased significantly amongst SPE. The main finding of the present study is that 7-weeks of SIT exercise is an effective method of maintaining (but not improving) CRF and fasting insulin homeostasis amongst school-going adolescents. SIT exercise demonstrates potential as a time efficient physiological adjunct to standard PE class in order to maintain CRF during the school term. 相似文献

Two soluble glycosyltransferases glycosylate less efficiently in vivo than their membrane bound counterparts 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:1

Many Golgi glycosyltransferases are type II membrane proteins which are
cleaved to produce soluble forms that are released from cells. Cho and
Cummings recently reported that a soluble form of alpha1, 3-
galactosyltransferase was comparable to its membrane bound counterpart in
its ability to galactosylate newly synthesized glycoproteins (Cho,S.K. and
Cummings,R.D. (1997) J. Biol. Chem., 272, 13622-13628). To test the
generality of their findings, we compared the activities of the full length
and soluble forms of two such glycosyltransferases, ss1,4
N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GM2/GD2/ GA2 synthase; GalNAcT) and beta
galactoside alpha2,6 sialyltransferase (alpha2,6-ST; ST6Gal I), for
production of their glycoconjugate products in vivo . Unlike the full
length form of GalNAcT which produced ganglioside GM2 in transfected cells,
soluble GalNAcT did not produce detectable GM2 in vivo even though it
possessed in vitro GalNAcT activity comparable to that of full length
GalNAcT. When compared with cells expressing full length alpha2,6-ST, cells
expressing a soluble form of alpha2,6-ST contained 3-fold higher
alpha2,6-ST mRNA levels and secreted 7-fold greater alpha2,6-ST activity as
measured in vitro , but in striking contrast contained 2- to 4-fold less of
the alpha2,6-linked sialic acid moiety in cellular glycoproteins in vivo .
In summary these results suggest that unlike alpha1,3-galactosyltransferase
the soluble forms of these two glycosyltransferases are less efficient at
glycosylation of membrane proteins and lipids in vivo than their membrane
bound counterparts.

Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a fatal event in humans unless electrical defibrillation is applied within minutes. Recent publications describe spontaneous termination of VF in various animals and even in humans. Certain drugs can transfer a fatal, sustained VF (SVF) into a self-terminating, transient VF (TVF). Based on results obtained in animals of various species and ages, we have suggested that the occurrence of TVF requires a high cardiac catecholamine level at the time of VF. According to our hypothesis, drugs which decrease catecholamine reuptake by the sympathetic nerve terminals will increase the ability of the heart ventricles to defibrillate spontaneously. In the present study, we examined the effects of desipramine, maprotiline, mianserin, iprindole, cocaine and amphetamine on the type of VF in cats exhibiting SVF prior to the treatment. The results show that the ability of these compounds to transfer SVF to TVF is closely related to their potency to inhibit catecholamine reuptake. The establishment of the catecholamine related mechanisms of TVF may lead to the development of a new class of antiarrhythmic-defibrillatory drugs. 相似文献
