    Notes: We describe a new method for treating livedoid vasculopathy. The typical presentation of livedoid vasculopathy includes chronic, recurrent painful ulcers, satellite scar-like atrophy and telangiectasia involving the lower extremities. Histologically, these lesions show areas of ulceration and dermal vessel occlusion without frank inflammatory cell infiltration. There is currently no satisfactory therapy available for this disease. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has recently established itself as one of the most effective methods of treating ischaemic wounds, including diabetic ulcers. We used this therapy in two patients whose lesions were resistant to multiple therapeutic modalities. Not only did their ulcers respond rapidly to the HBO therapy, but the disturbing wound pain also resolved at the same time. To our knowledge, this is the first successful trial of HBO therapy in livedoid vasculopathy. We believe this to be a very promising new therapy for livedoid vasculopathy and to be worth further investigation.

    Notes: 1. The caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM) of pentobarbital-anaesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats was identified by the depressor response with microinjection of glutamate.2. The mean firing rate of the spontaneously active phenyl-ephrine-excited CVLM neurons was significantly greater in SHR than in WKY. The pattern of neuronal firing in terms of coefficient of variation and skewness of the interspike interval histogram was similar in both types of rats.3. Administration to CVLM of kainic acid, an excitotoxic agent, led to a biphasic blood pressure response—a transient reduction followed by a gradual and sustained elevation. The elevation in blood pressure was significantly greater in SHR than in WKY.4. These findings suggest that the barosensitive CVLM neurons are more active and the tonic inhibitory influence from CVLM to rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) is greater in SHR than in WKY. It is therefore not likely that the elevated spontaneous activity of the RVLM cardiovascular neurons in SHR is due to a smaller inhibitory influence from CVLM.

    Notes: The increased content of soluble glycosaminoglycan-containing forms in sciatic nerves during recovery from crush injury [Shum & Chau (1996) J. Neurosci. Res., 46, 465] suggests that the glycosaminoglycans modulate the environment for post-traumatic tissue remodelling and axonal regrowth. To test this, defined amounts of soluble heparan sulphates from bovine kidney or guinea-pig nerve were introduced into the regenerating environment via silicone conduits that bridged 8-mm gaps of transected sciatic nerves of adult guinea-pigs. Controls were bridged using the phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) vehicle or a chondroition sulphate preparation from whale cartilage. After timed periods of recovery, the animals were assessed for electromyographic signals at the target gastrocnemius muscle to determine the conduction velocity across the bridged nerve. Sections of the bridge were also histologically examined for nerve fibres. Transected sciatic nerves bridged with heparan sulphates or chondroitin sulphate showed earlier stimulated myelination of axons (week 5–6) than PBS-bridged nerves (week 9). Initial electromyographic indication of reconnection with the target was at week 9 post-transection. In the course of 20 weeks, transected sections of the bridge indicated similar numbers of unmyelinated axons irrespective of bridge material, but distinctly higher numbers of myelinated axons in heparan sulphate-bridged nerves than either PBS- or chondroitin sulphate-bridged nerves. At the end of the same period, heparan sulphate-bridged nerves resumed normal conduction velocities, but both PBS- and chondroitin sulphate-bridged nerves remained at 50% of that of the intact contralateral nerves. These results are the first to demonstrate that supplementation of soluble heparan sulphate to the fluid regenerative neural environment can restore functional, axonal reconnection of the severed nerve with the target muscle.

    Notes: Abstract The interactive role of rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVL) cardiovascular neurons and brain angiotensin II (Ang II) in regulating the arterial blood pressure was examined by recording simultaneously the spontaneous activity of these spinal projecting neurons and the arterial blood pressure in the pentobarbital-anesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and its normotensive control, the Wistar Kyoto rat (WKY). It was found that Ang II elicited dose-dependent excitatory responses in a subpopulation of RVL cardiovascular neurons, followed by a subsequent increase in blood pressure. These effects of Ang II were significantly greater in SHR than in WKY. The effects were attenuated or abolished by co-administration of Ang II antagonist, [Sar1, Ile8]-Ang II. Pre-administration of [Sar1, Ile8]-Ang II to RVL using bilateral microinjection attenuated the blood pressure effects of intracerebroventricularly administered Ang II by as much as 70%. These results indicated that spinal projecting RVL cardiovascular neurons are important in mediating the pressor action of Ang II. The enhanced sensitivity and responsiveness of RVL cardiovascular neurons to Ang II may be pertinent to the genesis of hypertension in adult SHR.
