    Notes: Abstract: Metabolism of [U-13C5]glutamine was studied in primary cultures of cerebral cortical astrocytes in the presence or absence of extracellular glutamate. Perchloric acid extracts of the cells as well as redissolved lyophilized media were subjected to nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry to identify 13C-labeled metabolites. Label from glutamine was found in glutamate and to a lesser extent in lactate and alanine. In the presence of unlabeled glutamate, label was also observed in aspartate. It could be clearly demonstrated that some [U-13C5]glutamine is metabolized through the tricarboxylic acid cycle, although to a much smaller extent than previously shown for [U-13C5]glutamate. Lactate formation from tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates has previously been demonstrated. It has, however, not been demonstrated that pyruvate, formed from glutamate or glutamine, may reenter the tricarboxylic acid cycle after conversion to acetyl-CoA. The present work demonstrates that this pathway is active, because [4,5-13C2]glutamate was observed in astrocytes incubated with [U-13C5]glutamine in the additional presence of unlabeled glutamate. Furthermore, using mass spectrometry, mono-labeled alanine, glutamate, and glutamine were detected. This isotopomer could be derived via the action of pyruvate carboxylase using 13CO2 produced within the mitochondria or from labeled intermediates that had stayed in the tricarboxylic acid cycle for more than one turn.

    Dependence of the emission characteristics of magnetized surface-wave plasmas on the azimuthal configuration of the wave field (1997)

    Notes: A 1D plasma-wave model initially developed for describing a plasma sustained by a surface wave in the azimuthally symmetric configuration (m=0) was modified for simulating surface waves in the dipolar mode (m=1). Using this model, it is shown that the maintenance limit for unmagnetized plasmas in the symmetric mode, which, as was previously determined, requires that the product of the wave frequency and the plasma radius be smaller than 2 GHz cm, is no longer valid for magnetized plasmas. Comparison of calculated and measured radial distributions of argon atoms in a radiative excited state shows that changes observed in this distribution when varying some of the operating conditions can be explained by a switching of the discharge from one mode to the other. Conditions for selection of the mode are derived from considerations on wave propagation and power dissipation along the plasma column. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Biochemical and Neurotoxicological Effects of L-2-Chloropropionic Acid on Rodent Brain (1999)

    Notes: Abstract: L-2-Chloropropionic acid (L-CPA) is selectively toxic to cerebellar granule cells; necrosis is first observed in rats 36 h after L-CPA administration (750 mg/kg p.o.) and becomes marked by 48 h. L-CPA has also been shown to activate the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex in fasted adult rats, resulting in reduced blood glucose and lactate levels. This study aimed to investigate the biochemical and neurotoxicological effects of L-CPA on the brain. Extracts, prepared from guinea-pig cerebellar and cerebral cortex slices incubated in the presence of L-CPA, were analysed using 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy, 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and amino acid analysis. Glucose metabolism was studied by monitoring the metabolism of [1-13C]glucose using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Increased glucose metabolism and decreases in the pool sizes of lactate and alanine were observed in both tissues, demonstrating activation of the PDH complex. Extracts were also prepared from the forebrain and cerebellum of animals that had been treated in vivo with L-CPA and analysed as described for the in vitro studies. Similar evidence for PDH activation was demonstrated at 2 and 24 h after dosing in both tissues. At 48 h after dosing, when signs of toxicity are observed, an increase in the lactate concentration and a decrease in N-acetylaspartate in the cerebellum but not in the forebrain confirmed the selective neurotoxic action of L-CPA. These results suggest that activation of the PDH complex does not directly lead to the delayed selective neurotoxicity of L-CPA.

    Notes: Background/aims: Current Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy for peptic ulcer disease usually involves a 2-week course of either a bismuth preparation or omeprazole in combination with antibiotics. We have studied a shorter, 7-day course of treatment to assess efficacy and tolerability. Methods: Four hundred and thirty-six patients, in three non-randomized groups, received omeprazole (40 mg mane), amoxycillin (500 mg t.d.s.) and metronidazole (400 mg t.d.s.): 308 patients received the triple combination for 14 days; 80 patients were treated for 7 days; and 48 patients received omeprazole and amoxycillin for 7 days but metronidazole for only 5 days. Results: Helicobacter pylori was eradicated in 89.5%, 91.1% and 87.5%, respectively (98.3%, 92.9% and 100% of metronidazole-sensitive isolates and 75.6% and 88.2% of metronidazole-resistant isolates in the first two groups). Side effects were significantly more frequent in patients who received 14 days (49%) compared with 7 days of treatment (33%); only 8/308 and 1/128 patients, respectively, failed to complete the course. Conclusions: On the basis of efficacy, tolerability and cost, we conclude that a 7-day course of the omeprazole (40 mg mane), amoxycillin (500 mg t.d.s.) plus metronidazole (400 mg t.d.s.) combination is effective therapy for the eradication of H. pylori.

    Notes: Objective To assess the usefulness of a leaflet distributed to women before colposcopy designed to reduce their anxiety and psychosexual by providing information.Design Prospective randomised study.Setting Colposcopy clinic of a large district general hospital.Sample Two hundred consecutive women undergoing colposcopy for the first time for a cervical cytological abnormality of severity no greater than moderate dyskaryosis.Methods Women were randomised into one of two groups (leaflet or control). Those in the leaflet group were sent an information leaflet prior to attending the clinic. In the colposcopy clinic all the women completed a Statenrait Anxiety Inventory (StAVTrAI) and a modified psychosexual questionnaire before undergoing colposcopy. This was repeated at the six-month follow up visit. Women in the leaflet group also completed a further questionnaire on the leaflet.Main outcome measures Differences of anxiety and psychosexual scores between leaflet and control groups.Results The leaflet was well received. There were no statistical differences in StAI and TrAI scores between the study group and the control group at either visit, although in the whole study population StAI and TrAI scores were reduced at the second visit. The leaflet group had significantly more psychosexual problems but by the second visit, the scores had improved and the two groups were similar. When the mean differences in anxiety and psychosexual scores at the initial and second visits were compared between the groups, the reduction in negative sexual feelings and deterioration of TrAI scores experienced by the leaflet group was significant.Conclusions This study suggests that the provision of sending an information leaflet prior to colposcopy is not beneficial in isolation. Other approaches need to be considered.

    Notes: Objective To undertake a five year follow up of a cohort of women and children delivered by forceps or vacuum extractor in a randomised controlled study.Design Follow up of a randomised controlled trial.Setting District general hospital in the West Midlands.Population Follow up questionnaires were sent to 306 of the 313 women originally recruited at the North Staffordshire Hospital to a randomised controlled study comparing forceps and vacuum extractor for assisted delivery. Two hundred and twenty-eight women responded (74.5%) and all were included in the study; forceps (n= 115) and vacuum extractor (n= 113).Main outcome measures Bowel and urinary dysfunction, child vision assessment, and child development.Results Maternal adverse symptoms at long term follow up were relatively common. Urinary incontinence of various severity was reported by 47%, bowel habit urgency was reported by 44% (98/225), and loss of bowel control ‘sometimes’ or ‘frequently’ by 20% of women (46/226). No significant differences between instruments were found in terms of either bowel or urinary dysfunction. Overall, 13% (20/158) of children were noted to have visual problems. There was no significant difference in visual function between the two groups: ventouse 11/86 (12.8%), compared with forceps 9/72 (12.5%); odds ratio 0.97,95% CI 0.38–2.50. Of the 20 children with visual problems, a family history was known in 18, and 17/18 (94%) had a positive family history for visual problems. No significant differences in child development were found between the two groups.Conclusions There is no evidence to suggest that at five years after delivery use of the ventouse or forceps has specific maternal or child benefits or side effects.
