    Notes: Summary The interaction of the carbostyril derivatives 5-[2-[[1-(4-aminophenyl)-2-methyl-prop-2-yl]amino]-1-hydroxyethyl]-8-hydroxycarbostyril (carbo-amine) and 5-[2[[3-[4-(bromoacetamido)phenyl]-2-methylprop-2-yl]amino]1-hydroxyethyl]-8-hydroxycarbostryril (carbo-Br) with the rat reticulocyte beta-adrenoreceptor system has been partially characterized. In the absence of a guanine nucleotide, the concentration of carbo-amine, carbo-Br and (−)isoprenaline that inhibited (−)-[125I]iodocyanopindolol ([125I]CYP) binding by 50% (IC50) was 5.9 ± 0.2, 3.3 ± 0.3 and 49 ± 3 nM, respectively. In the presence of a guanine nucleotide, the (IC50) values were carbo-amine, 21 ± 0.6 nM; carbo-Br, 7.6 ± 0.3 nM and (−)isoprenaline, 813 ± 66 nM. Preincubation of membranes with either of the carbostyril congeners followed by washing reduced specific [125I]CYP binding capacity without changing the K D value for the remaining receptors. The beta-antagonist nadolol largely prevented the receptor reduction induced by the carbostyril compounds. Incubation of membranes for 18 It at 25°C resulted in an 11 % recovery of the carbo-amine-induced receptor loss and no recovery of the receptors lost by preincubation with carbo-Br. However, the carbo-amine induced receptor loss could be largely reversed (80%) by membrane heating at 45°C whereas little reversal (〈 10%) was observed with the carbo-Br pretreated membranes. The concentration of carbo-amine, carbo-Br and (−)isoprenaline that stimulated halt-maximal cAMP formation in reticulocyte membranes was 17.8 ± 3.1, 8.2 ± 2.1 and 241 ± 17 nM, respectively, and all 3 agonists produced the same maximal response. Initial cAMP formation stimulated by the carbostyril derivatives and (−)isoprenaline was blocked by concurrent addition of propranolol. However, the addition of propranolol after 7 min of incubation with either of the two carbostyril derivatives did not affect further cAMP production whereas with (−)isoprenaline further cAMP production was blocked. The data indicate that both carbostyril-derivatives are potent, full beta-adrenoreceptor agonists and the carbo-amine bound to the beta-adrenoreceptor in a tight, slowly dissociating manner whereas carbo-Br binding shows an apparent irreversible interaction with the receptor.

    Notes: Abstract The false-negative rate of barium enema examinations for the recognition of polypoid sigmoid cancer was evaluated in 167 patients with histologically proven carcinoma. The cases were classified according to the coexistence of sigmoid diverticula. In patients with less than 15 diverticula, 3.1% of lesions were missed, while in those with more than 15 diverticula, 20.4% of tumors were undetected. The overall error rate was 7.2%. Extensive diverticulosis is an important factor limiting the sensitivity of barium enema examinations for the evaluation of sigmoid masses.

    Notes: Abstract Substance P (SP) is a peptide found in the sensory nervous system which has multiple biologic effects including stimulation of muscle contraction, pain nociception, immune cell functions, plasma extravasation and a constellation of inflammatory effects. Here we investigate the role of SP in several animals models of bladder inflammation. Using the female Lewis rat, inflammation was induced using either xylene, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (polyIC). Inflammation occurred rapidly (4 h) and was maintained in each model for at least 7 days. Each of these protocols decreased the bladder content of immunoreactive SP by approximately 50%, suggesting enhanced release. There was no change in the urinary frequency of these animals over 3 weeks, suggesting that urinary frequency changes are not mediated by acute inflammation. We also found that the SP receptor (NK1) antagonist, (−)CP96345, was unable to block the inflammation produced by polyIC, suggesting that SP is not an obligatory mediator of immune cell stimulation in this model.
