    Notes: Abstract We examined the effects of midazolam and flumazenil on cardiac function and metabolism in the isolated rat heart-lung preparation. Wistar rats were divided into five groups (each group:n=8) as follows: (1) control (saline); (2) flumazenil (1.3×10−5M); (3) flumazenil (10−4M); (4) midazolam (60μg·ml−1); and (5) midazolam (60μg·ml−1) and flumazenil (1.3×10−5M). Systolic blood pressure and calculated left ventricular dP/dt maximum in the midazolam or midazolam conbined with flumazenil groups increased significantly in comparison with those in the control group. Heart rate in the midazolam group was lower than that in the control group. However, in the flumazenil group, there were no effects on the hemodynamics. There were no significant differences in the myocardial tissue concentration of ATP, lactate, and glycogen in all groups. In this study, midazolam decreased heart rate; however, flumazenil had no effect on the heart, nor did it antagonize the cardiac effects of midazolam. These results suggest that flumazenil has no effect on the peripheraltype benzodiazepine receptor of the myocardium.

    Notes: Abstract We examined the effects of a new stable prostacyclin analogue, OP-2507, on myocardial function and metabolism in the ischemic working rat heart preparation. The hearts were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate (KHB) buffer, and whole heart ischemia was induced by one-way aortic valve for 15 min follows by reperfusion for 30 min. In the treated hearts, OP-2507, 20 ng·ml−1, was administered to KHB buffer from the beginning to the end of experiment. During ischemia, coronary flow in the OP-2507 group increased significantly more than that in the control group. The mechanical performance of both groups was impaired after ischemia. However, the recovery of coronary flow, cardiac output, peak systolic pressure and LV dP/dTmax was significantly higher in the treated group than in the control group. The incidence of ventricular fibrillation during reperfusion was 100% and 25% in the control and the OP-2507 groups, respectively. Myocardial ATP content was significantly higher in the treated hearts than that in the control hearts. These results indicate that this stable prostacyclin analogue is beneficial in myocardial ischemia, even without its well known action of preventing platelet aggregation.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of propafenone on cardiac function and myocardial metabolism were assessed in the isolated rat heart-lung preparation. Propafenone 0.3, 3 or 30 µg·ml−1 was administered 5 min after the start of perfusion. Heart rate decreased in the 30 µg·ml−1 group significantly following the drug administration. The highest dose of propafenone (30 µg·ml−1) reduced cardiac output significantly, and this dose was associated with a higher incidence of arrhythmias than the other groups. Although there were no significant differences in myocardial lactate and glycogen concentrations among groups, ATP content in the 30 µg·ml−1 group was significantly less than that in the control group. As therapeutic plasma concentration of propafenone is about 0.6 (range 0.06 to 1.0) µg·ml−1, 30 µg·ml−1 is 50 times greater than its concentration. These results suggest that the negative inotropic and chronotropic effects of propafenone are almost same with those of lidocaine which we have previously reported.

    Notes: Abstract Controlled hypotension was employed during resection of lumbar herniated disc on 10 patients. Prostaglandin E1 (PG) was used as a hypotensive agent. The systolic blood pressure was lowered less than 100 mmHg in the hypotensive group. The average blood loss during surgery was 95 ± 41 ml for the hypotensive group compared with 154 ± 81 ml for the normotensive group (P ≪ 0.05). The blood loss after surgery was also significantly less in the hypotensive group than in the normotensive group (P ≪ 0.05). We conclude that PG is an effective hypotensive agent on blood loss during and after surgery.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of prostaglandin I2 analogues (PGI2-a: op-41483 and op-2507) on oxygen toxicity during hyperoxic perfusion were evaluated in an experiment on isolated rat heart lung preparation, with the release of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in the perfusate blood. There were no significant differences in heart rate and right atrial pressure between PGI2-a treated and untreated hearts. The CPK release from the heart with oxygen was significantly higher than that of the air (P 〈 0.001). However, the CPK release from the PGI2-a treated hearts was significantly less than that from the untreated hearts (P 〈 0.05). These results indicate that PGI2-a may prevent cell damage which was induced by hyperoxia.

    Notes: Abstract Seven spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and eight Wistar-St rats were used to assess the influence of hemorrhage on myocardial and hepatic energy metabolism. They received 2% halothane and pancuronium, 0.3 mg·kg−1, during preparation. After discontinuation of halothane, blood (2 ml·100 g body weight−1) was gradually withdrawn over a 5 min period from a femoral artery. Thirty min after induction of hemorrhage, the heart and liver were removed and myocardial and hepatic metabolites (ATP, lactate, pyruvate and glycogen) were measured by the enzymatic methods. Acidosis and decreased hematocrit were noted in the both groups after hemorrhage. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) in SHR was significantly higher than that in Wistar rat before hemorrhage. However, there were no significant differences in MAP and heart rate between the two groups after hemorrhage. Although there were no significant differences in cardiac metabolites, a significant decrease of hepatic ATP and an increase of hepatic lactate/pyruvate ratio were found in SHR when compared with Wistar rat. These results suggest that human hypertensive disease may run a high risk in connection with acute hemorrhage.

    Notes: Abstract  We sequenced the human MB1 gene from a cosmid clone mapping to chromosome 14q11.2-12. The gene spans about 6 kilobases and contains three exons and two introns. There was no evidence of an alternative leader exon, which is a characteristic of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded LMP7 gene, the closest relative of MB1, with which it shares 67% amino acid identity. Conceptual translation of the 5′ end of the gene calls for a cleaved leader sequence of 59 amino acids, consistent with western blot data. None of the MB1 gene’s three exons were coincident with any of the six exons in LMP7. In contrast, in the delta-encoding gene and its counterpart, the MHC-encoded LMP2 gene (59% amino acid identity), all six exons are arranged at equivalent positions in respect to the coding frame. The unique structure of MB1 implies a separate origin or different selection pressures acting at this particular locus. DNA repeat analysis provides information on the minimum time of separation of the MB1/LMP7 pair of genes.

    Notes: Abstract In order to estimate the effect of vitamin E on DNA injury and K-ras point mutation at an early stage of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone(NNK)-induced lung tumorigenesis in mice, the present study was carried out. Presupplement with vitamin E about 15 times more than control for a week significantly inhibited NNK-induced O6-methylguanine formation in the lungs of mice at 4 and 168 h after the injection. At 30 days after the NNK injection, the activation of K-ras oncogene with a 12th codon GC→AT transition was detected in 56% of lung samples tested by mutant-allele-specific amplification. Vitamin E supplement reduced the frequency of the mutation to 30%. These results suggest that vitamin E suppresses NNK-induced DNA injury and subsequent fixation of the injury during the initiation and post-initiation phases of the lung tumorigenesis in mice.
