    Notes: Abstract  Heart failure is a problem of increasing importance in cardiovascular medicine. An important characteristic of heart failure is reduced agonist-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity (receptor desensitization) due to both diminished receptor number (receptor downregulation) and impaired receptor function (receptor uncoupling). These changes in the §-adrenergic receptor (§-AR) system may in part account for some of the abnormalities of contractile function in this disease. Myocardial contraction is closely regulated by G protein coupled β-adrenergic receptors through the action of the second messenger cAMP. The β-adrenergic receptors themselves are regulated by a set of specific kinases, termed the G-protein-coupled receptor kinases. The study of this complex system in vivo has recently been advanced by the development of transgenic and gene targeted (”knockout”) mouse models. Combining transgenic technology with sophisticated physiological measurements of cardiac hemodynamics is an extremely powerful strategy to study the regulation of myocardial contractility in the normal and failing heart.

    Notes: Abstract A total of 17 patients with hemophilic arthropathy of the knee joint were studied with static and dynamic MRI before and after an IV bolus injection of Gadolinium-DTPA (Gd-DTPA; 0.1 mmol/kg body weight). The T1-weighted spin-echo (SE) and gradient-echo (fast-field echo [FFE]) sequences were applied. The FFE sequences of eight consecutive scans carried out over a time interval of 160 s were used in order to determine the time to signal intensity (SI) curves of the synovial proliferations surrounding soft tissue, bone marrow, and joint effusion. After the administration of a contrast agent, synovial proliferations exhibited an increase on FFE and SE images of 47.7 % (SD ± 14.3 %) and 37.4 % (SD ± 11.2 %), respectively, whereas muscle and fatty tissue, tendons, bone marrow, and joint effusion revealed only a minor increase in SI. The gradient of SI (ratio SI/time) of pannus was 39.6 %/min (SD ± 7.7 %/min) and differed significantly (P 〈 0.001) from that of bone marrow, fatty tissue, muscle tissue, tendons, and joint effusion (P 〈 0.05). In contrast to synovial proliferations in rheumatoid arthritis, no differentiation between various pannus vascularities based on the degree of enhancement was possible. The Gd-DTPA-enhanced MRI studies delineate and quantify the synovial proliferations in hemophilic arthropathy. Dynamic studies in hemophilic arthropathy do not provide qualitative assessment of the inflammatory process.

    Control of the synovium in haemophilia (1998)

    Notes: Summary. Adequate factor substitution is a prerequisite for successful conservative or operative treatment of haemophilic synovitis. Subsequent prophylactic factor substitution can prevent further joint problems in the future. Orthopaedic treatment regimes are dependent on the classification of the synovitis and the stage of the arthropathy. Synovitis can be classified into acute and chronic forms. The arthropathy is classified according to Arnold and Hilgartner. When the synovitis has already become chronic, early arthroscopic synovectomy is recommended in order to prevent the otherwise inexorable progress of the arthropathy. Failure to treat in the early phase of the pathology causes problems in the correction of further stages. The progression of the joint disease can be shown both clincally and radiologically as the arthropathy develops, and influences the treatment.

    Notes: Abstract The second dissociation constant pK2 of 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (MOPS) has been determined at eight temperatures from 5 to 55°C by measurements of the emf of cells without liquid junction, utilizing hydrogen electrodes and silver–silver chloride electrodes. The pK2 has a value of 7.18 ± 0.001 at 25°C and 7.044 ± 0.002 at 37°C. The thermodynamic quantities ΔG°, ΔH°, ΔS°, and ΔC p o have been derived from the temperature coefficients of the pK 2. This buffer at ionic strength I = 0.16 mol-kg−1 close to that of blood serum, has been recommended as a useful secondary pH standard for measurements of physiological fluids. Five buffer solutions with the following compositions were prepared: (a) equimolal mixture of MOPS (0.05 mol-kg−1) + NaMOPS, (0.05 mol-kg−1); (b( MOPS (0.05 mol-kg−1) + NaMOPS (0.05 mol-kg−1) + NaCl (0.05 mol-kg−1); (c) MOPS (0.05 mol-kg−1) + NaMOPS (0.05 mol-kg−1); + NaCl (0.11mol-kg−1); (d) MOPS (0.08 mol-kg−1) + NaMOPS (0.08 mol-kg−1); and (e)MOPS (0.08 mol-kg−1) + NaMOPS (0.08 mol-kg−1) + NaCl (0.08 mol-kg−1).The pH values obtained by using the pH meter + glass electrode assembly are compared with those measured from a flow–junction calomel cell saturated with KCl (cell B), as well as those obtained from cell (A) without liquid junction at 25 and 37°C. The conventional values of the liquid junction potentials E j have been obtained at 25 and 37°C for the physiological phosphate reference solution as well as for the MOPS buffers (d) and (e) mentioned above.

    Analysis of chimeric UmuC proteins: identification of regions inSalmonella typhimurium UmuC important for mutagenic activity (1996)

    Notes: Abstract UnlikeEscherichia coli, the closely related bacteriumSalmonella typhimurium is relatively unresponsive to the mutagenic effects of DNA-damaging agents. Previous experiments have suggested that these phenotypic differences might result from reduced activity of theS. typhimurium UmuC protein. To investigate this possibility, we have taken advantage of the high degree of homology between the UmuC proteins ofE. coli andS. typhimurium and have constructed a series of plasmid-encoded chimeric proteins. The possibility that the phenotypic differences might be due to differential expression of the respective UmuC proteins was eliminated by constructing chimeric proteins that retained the first 25 N-terminal amino acids of either of the UmuC proteins (and presumably the same translational signals), but substituting the remaining 397 C-terminal amino acids with the corresponding segments from the reciprocal operon. Constructs expressing mostlyE. coli UmuC were moderately proficient for mutagenesis whereas those expressing mostlyS. typhimurium UmuC exhibited much lower frequencies of mutation, indicating that the activity of the UmuC protein ofS. typhimurium is indeed curtailed. The regions responsible for this phenotype were more precisely localized by introducing smaller segments of theS. typhimurium UmuC protein into the UmuC protein ofE. coli. While some regions could be interchanged with few or no phenotypic effects, substitution of residues 212–395 and 396–422 ofE. coli UmuC with those fromS. typhimurium resulted in reduced mutability, while substitution of residues 26–59 caused a dramatic loss of activity. We suggest, therefore, that the primary cause for the poor mutability ofS. typhimurium can be attributed to mutations located within residues 26–59 of theS. typhimurium UmuC protein.
