    Notes: I*, and Quinidine in Healed Infarction. Introduction: Mechanisms and drug treatment of serious ventricular arrhythmias in patients with healed myocardial infarction (HMI) are incompletely understood, in part because the electrophysiology and pharmacology of myocytes from noninfarcted regions of HMI hearts are not well characterized. Methods and Results: We studied the delayed rectifier potassium current (IK) and quinidine responsiveness of single left ventricular subendocardial myocytes isolated from the region remote to the border zone of healed infarct myocardium (4 to 6 mm from scar edge) in cat hearts 2 months after coronary artery occlusion. Subendocardial cells isolated from corresponding regions of normal cat hearts provided controls. IK activation and tail currents were recorded using whole cell, voltage clamp techniques. Membrane capacitance of cells remote to HMI (187 ± 7 pF) was significantly greater than normal (155 ± 6 pF; P 〈 0.001). Action potential durations (APDs) recorded from myocytes in remote regions were prolonged (APD90= 247 ± 10 msec) compared to normal (214 ± 11 msec; P 〈 0.05). Quinidine (1 μM) significantly prolonged APD90 in normal cells but not in remote cells. Density of IK, (tail current) was significantly decreased in remote cells (3.1 ± 0.3 pA/pF) compared to normal (3.9 ± 0.3 pA/pF; P 〈 0.05). and voltage-dependent activation of IK was shifted in the positive direction. Quinidine had significantly less incremental blocking effect on IK already blunted by regional hypertrophy compared to its effect on normal cells in remote cells. IC550 shifted to 0.95 μM in remote cells compared with 0.50 μM in normal cells. Conclusion: Cells in noninfarct region remote from the scar are hypertrophied and display altered electrophysiology. Their reduced IK responsiveness to quinidine may explain, in part, failure of quinidine to prolong APD in such cells. Moreover, dispersion of repolarization may be decreased by the effect of quinidine on normal cells.

    Notes: ICa in Healed Myocardial Infarction. Introduction: Abnormal action potentials in myocytes adjacent to 〉 2-month-uld feline LV myocardial infarcts (MI) may reflect alterations in Ca2+ currents (ICa). Methods and Results: We compared ICa, at 36°C, in subendocardial myocytes isolated from areas adjacent to MI and to ICa in cells from remote areas (〉 4 mm away; REM) and control cells from similar regions in normal hearts. Control (CON) myocytes had membrane capacitance of 234 ± 10 pF (n = 81 cells) compared to 305 ± 14 pF in REM (71 cells; P 〈 0.05 from CON) and 237 ± 11 pF (n = 55 cells) in MI (not different from CON). From Vh=−40 mV, peak ICa elicited by test potentials (−35 to +70 mV) were significantly larger in CON (−1746 ± 123 pA) and REM (−1795 ± 142 pA) compared to Ml (−1352 ± 129 pA) (P 〈 0.05). Peak 1(11 density was significantly reduced in REM (−6.0 ± 0.4 pA/pF) or MI (−5.7 ± 0.4 pA/pF, P 〈 0.05) compared to CON (−7.5 ± 0.4 pA/pF). Double exponential ICa decay was similar among groups. Half-inactivation potential (V0.5) was significantly shifted (hyperpolarizing direction) for MI (−29.1 ± 2.6 mV) and REM (−24.6 ± 1.2 mV) myocytes compared to −20.3 ± 1.0 mV in CON. MI slope factor (k; 9.0 ± 0.5) was significantly different from CON (6.8 ± 0.3) and RKM (7.3 ± 0.4). No differences in time course of recovery from inactivation were noted. Five millimolar Ba2+0 produced significant increases in ICa in CON and REM but an attenuated response in MI. Bay k8644 (1 μM) produced similar ICa increase in all groups. ICa increase due to isoproterenol (1 ICaM) in MI and REM was half that in CON, but there were no differences in increased ICa responses among groups following phenylephrine (10 μM). Conclusion: Reduced ICa density in REM reflects cell hypertrophy, whereas altered ICa of MI may reflect altered channel structure and/or function.

    Notes: Abstract This paper is devoted to the study of sonic points and shocks in stationary, axially symmetric, isothermal flows around a Kerr black hole. We first show the dependence of the location of the sonic point with the flow's angular momentum for different isothermal sound speeds. With our selected shock jump conditions, we then discuss the properties of the shock, including the location and the strength. The ambiguity regarding the shock locations is removed by stability analysis. We also find some differences between the shock in isothermal flows and that in adiabatic flows. Subject headings: accretion, accretion disks-black hole physics-hydrodynamics-relativity-shock waves.

    Notes: Abstract. We classify the hadron light-cone wave-function amplitudes in terms of parton helicity, orbital angular momentum, and quark-flavor and color symmetries. We show in detail how this is done for the pion, $\rho$ meson, nucleon, and delta resonance up to and including three partons. For the pion and nucleon, we also consider four-parton amplitudes. Using the scaling law derived previously, we show how these amplitudes scale in the limit that all parton transverse momenta become large.

    Notes: Abstract: The c-axis charge dynamics of copper oxide materials in the underdoped and optimally doped regimes has been studied by considering the incoherent interlayer hopping. It is shown that the c-axis charge dynamics for the chain copper oxide materials is mainly governed by the scattering from the in-plane fluctuation, and the c-axis charge dynamics for the no-chain copper oxide materials is dominated by the scattering from the in-plane fluctuation incorporating with the interlayer disorder, which would be suppressed when the holon pseudogap opens at low temperatures and lower doping levels, leading to the crossovers to the semiconducting-like range in the c-axis resistivity and the temperature linear to the nonlinear range in the in-plane resistivity.

    Notes: Based on the creep model of CFST members constructed with the Elastic Continuation and Plastic Flow theory of concrete creep and the creep theory of concrete under multi-axial stresses, the paper studies the load-carrying capacity of eccentrically compressed CFST members with consideration of creep. Some eccentrically compressed CFST members’ long-term loadbearing capacity is calculated and corresponding results are compared with the load-carrying capacity without consideration of creep. According to the analysis of calculating results, it can be concluded that creep will decrease the load carrying capacity of eccentrically compressed CFST members, and it should be paid enough attentions in actual engineering

    Notes: This paper discusses the suitability of using several creep theories of common concrete for creep of high-performance concrete (HPC). Based on the Age-Adjusted Effective Modulus method (AEMM) for creep of concrete, Improved Dischinger (ID) method and the Elastic Continuation and Plastic Flow (ECPF) theory for calculating relaxation coefficient and considering characteristics of HPC, a method is set up for calculating the creep of HPC under changing stresses,and comparing results gotten by the method with some experimental data, it can be considered that the above methods are suit for the calculation of creep of HPC

    Notes: We evaluate 3D models of human nucleoside diphosphate kinase, mouse cellular retinoic acid binding protein I, and human eosinophil neurotoxin that were calculated by MODELLER, a program for comparative protein modeling by satisfaction of spatial restraints. The models have good stereochemistry and are at least as similar to the crystallographic structures as the closest template structures. The largest errors occur in the regions that were not aligned correctly or where the template structures are not similar to the correct structure. These regions correspond predominantly to exposed loops, insertions of any length, and non-conserved side chains. When a template structure with more than 40% sequence identity to the target protein is available, the model is likely to have about 90% of the mainchain atoms modeled with an rms deviation from the X-ray structure of ≈ 1 Å, in large part because the templates are likely to be that similar to the X-ray structure of the target. This rms deviation is comparable to the overall differences between refined NMR and X-ray crystallography structures of the same protein. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
