Age-dependent changes of protein structure II. Conformational differences of aldolase of young and old rabbits

Conformational differences between aldolase from old and young rabbit muscle are revealed and described by means of UV difference spectroscopy, thermal perturbation difference spectra, and UV fluorescence. These two objects differ in thermal stability of protein conformation, but similar conformational transitions are observed on substrate binding.     

The effect of hormones on the haemodynamics in animals of different age groups

The investigation was undertaken to study to effect of varying doses of epinephrine, vasopressin, insulin, thyroxin, estradiol-dipropionate on the haemodynamics and contractility of the myocardium of rats in different age groups, as well as the effect of epinephrine and vasopressin on coronary blood circulation in dogs of various age groups. The age group peculiarities of reactions to the hormones were compared with changes in their content in the blood of animals of different age groups.Upon administering small concentrations of the hormones in this study, more pronounced changes in haemodynamics and contractility of the myocardium were observed in senile animals. The administration of larger doses led to more pronounced changes in mature animals. During the process of aging, there is a decrease in the range of the reactions of the cardiovascular system to the action of hormones.In case of long term (14 days) administration of thyroxin, it was found that in senile animals the contractility of the heart was lower than that in short term (4 days) administration. In long term administration of thyroxin, it was found that in mature animals the index for the myocardium's contracting ability was more pronounced than in short term administration.Irregular changes in the concentrations of different hormones in the blood, changes in sensitivity and ability of the myocardium to respond to their action lead to changes in the hormonal regulation of the heart, and to the development of aging metabolic and functional changes.     

Effects of HIV Infection on Pulmonary Artery Pressure in Children

BackgroundPulmonary hypertension may complicate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and result in right ventricular (RV) failure and premature death. There are limited data of the effects of childhood HIV infection or antiretroviral therapy (ART) on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP).ObjectivesTo establish if there is an association between childhood HIV infection or its treatment and pulmonary artery pressure.MethodsThe study conducted a cross-sectional study of 102 HIV-infected (48 ART-naïve, 54 ART-exposed) and 51 HIV-uninfected children in Jakarta, Indonesia, to estimate PAP using echocardiography parameters: tricuspid regurgitation peak velocity (TRV), left ventricular systolic index and diastolic eccentricity index (EI), and RV systolic function, assessed by tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion. The association between either ART-naive or ART-exposed HIV and PAP was explored using general linear modelling adjusted for potential confounders.ResultsART-exposed HIV-infected children had higher TRV (adjusted difference: 0.36 m/s; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.12 to 0.60; p = 0.003) and diastolic EI (adjusted difference 0.06; 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.11; p = 0.02) than did uninfected children. The EI in ART-exposed children was significantly higher than normal. ART-naive HIV-infected children had a lower tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion (adjusted difference: –2.2 mm; 95% CI: –3.73 to –0.71; p = 0.004), despite no difference in TRV (adjusted difference: 0.18 m/s; 95% CI: –0.06 to 0.43 m/s; p = 0.14). Seven (13%) ART-exposed and 4 (8.3%) ART-naïve HIV-infected children had pulmonary hypertension. Within-HIV group comparisons showed that accounting for lower respiratory tract infections attenuated the lower RV systolic function in ART-naïve children but not in ART-exposed children (difference: –1.1 mm; 95% CI:–2.8 to 0.7 mm; p = 0.22), but not the higher left ventricular eccentricity indexes in the ART-exposed children (systolic difference: 0.07; 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.12; p = 0.007; diastolic difference: 0.08; 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.14; p = 0.006).ConclusionsART-exposed HIV infection is associated with higher estimated PAP. Reduced RV systolic function is seen in ART-naïve HIV infection. Lower respiratory tract infection partly explains lower systolic RV function in ART-naïve relative to ART-exposed HIV infection.

The effects of proteins upon the filtration coefficient of individually perfused frog mesenteric capillaries.

The filtration coefficients (L_p) of the walls of individually perfused frog mesenteric capillaries have been measured using the methods described by Michel et al. (1974). When a vessel was perfused with frog Ringer solution containing no protein, L_p was four to five times greater than its value for the same capillary perfused with frog plasma. The increase of L_p seen on perfusion with protein-free solutions was readily reversible and could be prevented by adding to the Ringer perfusate bovine serum albumin, bovine γ-globulin and human haemoglobin. The addition of whale myoglobin (0.5 g 100 ml^?1) to the Ringer perfusate did not prevent an increase in L_p. Ringer solutions containing 0.1 g of bovine serum albumin 100 ml^?1 were as effective as those containing higher concentrations of albumin in preventing the increase in L_p, but the L_p of capillaries perfused with solutions containing 0.01 g of albumin 100 ml^?1 did not differ from the values for the same capillaries perfused with protein-free solutions. It was shown that in any given capillary, L_p was independent of the direction of fluid flow across the vessel wall and was the same when the capillary was perfused with 9.0 g of bovine albumin 100 ml^?1 and 3 g of bovine γ-globulin 100 ml^?1. Whereas the effects of L_p are seen within 1 min of removing the protein from the perfusate, no changes in L_p were observed during the first 20 min of perfusion and superfusion of capillaries with solutions free of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺. L_p also appeared to be unaffected after 20 min perfusion with neuraminidase. It is suggested that plasma proteins are adsorbed onto capillary walls and greatly modify capillary permeability.

Myocardial infarction and rupture of the heart: a macroscopic pathologic study

From an anatomical point of view, the various elements which seem to individualize myocardial infarctions complicated by rupture are: a limited increase in the volume of the heart; a propensity for the rupture to follow the first infarction of a previously healthy cardiac muscle; a myocardial necrosis of sometimes small extension with clear limits and a destruction of the muscle so severe as to amount in two thirds of the cases to a variable parietal dissection; a lesser extension and diffusion of coronary stenosis; an ever-present and totally occlusive coronary thrombosis; an insignificant or absent substitutive circulation. Those strictly anatomical facts can be reason to extend the indications of a very early direct myocardial revascularization (almost a third of all cardiac ruptures occur within 24 hours) or to contemplate an infarctectomy after the eighth hour (the necroses are usually of a moderate size and well deliminated) if it appears possible to draw the "clinical profile" of those patients prone to cardiac rupture or to read the signs that may announce the likelihood of this dreadful complication.     

Transvenous endomyocardial biopsy using the gastrointestinal biopsy (Olympus GFB) catheter

The use of a GFB biopsy catheter (Olympus) for endomyocardial biopsy in 23 patients is described. The catheter may be introduced alone or through a Cournand catheter. This technique is simple and safe and has a success rate of 100 per cent. There is little problem with cleaning out the blood. The technique of introducing the biopsy catheter through an already positioned Cournand catheter avoids any damage to the veins or perforation through the vein or right atrium; even in patients with large right atria, the procedure of first manipulating a soft rather than a stiff catheter into the right ventricle, and then introducing the biopsy through the Cournand catheter, becomes technically easy. The biopsy specimens measure 2 by 2.5 mm., which are adequate for microscopic examination and bacterial or viral culture studies. There have been no immediate or late complications.     

Biological age and its estimation. II. Assessment of biological age of albino rats by multiple regression analysis

Multiple regression model of biological age (BA) theoretically gives agreement with the main concept of BA. When assessment of BA is based on the model, the age being in regression center, the method provides satisfactory results, whereas BA estimates of individuals in extreme age groups are erroneous. Investigation of male and female Wistar rats of age 5–29 months showed the BA estimates calculated from 4–10 physiological indices in young (5–7 mo) animals are overestimated, and in old (24–28 mo) animals are underestimated. Coincidence of average BA in one-age group of animals with its chronological age served as a criterion for the correspondence of the estimate to “real” BA. The paper also examines the following questions: the necessary and sufficient number of physiological indices; the sample size from the intact animal population to establish normal aging standard; the relationship between BA and animal weight.     

Therapeutic Equivalence of Sulfaisodimidine 2 g Twice Daily and 1 g Four Times Daily in Lower Urinary Tract Infections

ABSTRACT. The serum concentrations and clinical effects of sulfaisodimidine given during 12 days were examined in two groups of patients with uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection. Group I (n = 12) received the drug in a conventional dosage, 1 g four times daily, and group II (n = 14) in a dose of 2 g twice daily. The serum concentrations of sulfonamide at steady state (day 7) and one day after cessation of therapy (day 13) did not differ significantly between the groups. With the exception of one patient in group I, both subjective and objective symptoms vanished during treatment and remained absent for at least 4 weeks thereafter. Two patients in each group developed signs of sulfonamide allergy. Thus, the two regimens seemed to be equally efficient, and the risk of therapy failure due to low blood concentrations of sulfaisodimidine should not be greater when the drug is given in a dosage of 2 g twice daily than when it is administered in the conventional way. Hence, the latter, simpler regimen can be recommended.

Plasma concentrations and tissue uptake of free amino acids in dogs in sepsis and starvation: effects of glucose infusion--some effects of low alimentation

The plasma concentrations of substrates, together with transhepatic and transgut balances, have been studied in six control and eight septic awake fasted dogs. Four severely ill septic dogs (typically fluid in chest and/or abdomen, extensive peritonitis, respiratory difficulties) had high concentrations of threonine, glycine, tyrosine, lysine, histidine, tryptophan, and triglycerides (p less than or equal to 0.05). The other septic dogs (less severely ill) showed fewer and less pronounced alterations in the plasma substrates (aspartate and tryptophan were elevated, p less than or equal to 0.05). The infusion of glucose increased the concentration of glucose, lactate, and pyruvate and depressed the concentrations of most amino acids in both normal and septic dogs. Threonine, asparagine, glutamine, leucine, isoleucine, alpha-aminobutyrate, and tyrosine were significantly depressed in the severely ill septic dogs (p less than or equal to 0.05). In the normal dogs most amino acids were removed by the liver, with alanine accounting for approximately 40% of the total. Glutamine removal was negligible. In the septic dogs hepatic removal of amino acids was variable; livers of two severely ill septic dogs did not remove amino acids. In the control dogs glucose infusion (0.015--0.017 g/kg/min) tended to lower hepatic removal of amino acids. Hepatic dye removal in the septic dogs was always very poor. In the gut glutamine was removed and alanine, glutamate, glycine, and ammonia produced, but the overall sum of amino acid uptake was negligible in both the control and septic dogs. The ratio of tryptophan to the sum of valine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine concentrations was greatly elevated in all septic dogs in which it was measured. The free concentrations of amino acids in the liver, heart, and muscle tissues were grossly elevated in the low intravenous alimented septic state relative to the fasted normal state, whereas the tissue concentrative ability as measured by nonmetabolizable amino acids, alpha-aminoisobutyrate and cycloleucine, was not similarly increased. Sepsis clearly alters plasma and tissue concentrations, and in some instances hepatic uptake of amino acids.
