    Notes: Abstract Screening for apolipoprotein (apo) C-II variants in the plasma of 400 students, 600 patients of a cardiological rehabilitation center, and 1200 patients of an outpatient lipid clinic by isoelectric focusing and subsequent anti-apo C-II immunoblotting led to the identification of four individuals whose plasma samples contained an apo C-II isoform with an abnormal isoelectric point. In all cases direct sequencing of PCR-amplified DNA assessed a heterozygous A to C transversion in codon 19 of the apo C-II gene which leads to the replacement of lysine with threonine. Two of the four index patients presented with moderate hypertriglyceridemia; one suffered from severe hyperlipidemia, with triglyceride levels ranging between 180 and 1900 mg/dl, depending on dietary changes. Sequencing of this proband's lipoprotein lipase gene showed no alteration compared to the wildtype sequence. A study in his family revealed that heterozygosity for apo C-II(K19T) is not associated with differences in mean lipid and lipoprotein concentrations. In conclusion, apo C-II(K19T) occurs in Germany at a frequency of approximately 1 in 550. Although this variant is not sufficient to cause hypertriglyceridemia, it may be possible that apo C-II(K19T) causes hypertriglyceridemia in the presence of additional as yet unidentified environmental and/or genetic factors.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Am isolierten Meerschweinchenvorhof sowie an narkotisierten Katzen und Hunden wurde die Wirkung des Bencyclans auf Herz und Blutdruck untersucht. Es fanden sich folgende Ergebnisse: 1.) Bencyclan senkt dosisabhängig Kontraktionskraft, maximale Kontraktionsgeschwindigkeit und die Kontraktionsfrequenz am Meerschweinchenvorhof; dabei wird die funktionelle Refraktärzeit verlängert. 2.) Die negativ inotrope Wirkung des Bencyclans ist am Meerschweinchenvorhof durch Steigerung der Ca++-Konzentration aufhebbar. 3.) Bei gleichzeitiger Bencyclaneinwirkung bleibt die Orciprenalinwirkung am linken Vorhof unbeeinflußt, während die Serotoninwirkung abgeschwächt ist. 4.) 5mg/kg Bencyclan bewirken an der narkotisierten Katze einen signifikanten Abfall von Blutdruck und Kontraktilität des Herzens. Während der Blutdruck innerhalb weniger Minuten wieder den Vorwert erreicht, hält die Kontraktilitätsminderung länger an. 5.) 2 von 10 Katzen und 2 von 3 Hunden starben innerhalb weniger Minuten nachdem 5 mg/kg Bencyclan und 1 mg/kg Propranolol im Abstand von 15 min. injiziert wurden. 6.) Eine Vorbehandlung mit 20 mg/kg Propranolol i.m. steigert bei Mäusen die akute i.v.-Bencyclantoxizität nicht signifikant.
    Notes: Summary In the isolated guinea pigs atria as well as in anaesthetized cats and dogs we studied the cardiovascular effects of bencyclan. The following results were found: 1.) Bencyclan causes a dose-dependent diminution of the force of contraction, the maximal rate of rise of contraction, and the frequency of the isolated atria, while the functional refractory period is prolonged. 2.) The negative inotropic effect of bencyclan can be antagonized in the isolated atria by increasing Ca++-concentrations. 3.) In the isolated left atria the effect of orciprenaline is unchanged while the effect of serotonin is diminished by bencyclan. 4.) In the anaesthetized cat 5 mg/kg of bencyclan cause a significant decrease of blood-pressure and contractility. While the fall of blood-pressure is reversed within a few minutes, the contractility is diminished for a longer time. 5.) 2 of 10 cats and 2 of 3 dogs died within a few minutes when 5 mg/kg bencyclan and 1 mg/kg propranolol were injected within an interval of 15 minutes. 6.) Pretreatment with 20 mg/kg propranolol i.m. does not increase the acute toxicity of bencyclan in mice significantly.
