Preoptic area unit activity during sleep and wakefulness in the cat

The spontaneous discharge of 86 preoptic area (POA) neurons was recorded extracellularly in chronically prepared cats during wakefulness (W), slow-wave sleep (SWS), and REM sleep. Of these, the percentage of units exhibiting maximal discharge rates in SWS and REM sleep (84%) was significantly greater than that of those exhibiting a maximal discharge rate in W (16%). Furthermore, those neurons that discharged rapidly in sleep (fast units) generally had a reduced discharge rate in W. Sixteen of the 86 units showed a strong tendency to discharge in bursts during SWS but not during W or REM sleep. The mean coefficient of variation and the mean discharge rate for these bursting cells in SWS were significantly greater than the corresponding values for the same cells in W and REM sleep, and for the nonbursting cells in SWS. Because POA stimulation is known to initiate behavioral and electrocortical signs of sleep, it is suggested that "fast units" in SWS with reduced discharge rates in W, may be "hypnogenic" cells.     

Inhibitory dopamine receptors on sympathetic neurons innervating the cardiovascular system of the pithed rat

Summary Additional experimental evidence was obtained for an inhibitory function of prejunctional ₂-adrenoceptors and/or dopamine receptors located on noradrenergic neurons innervating the heart and resistance vessels of the pithed normotensive rat. Mixed ₂-adrenoceptor receptor agonists, differing in selectivity towards either receptor type, i.e. N,N-di-n-propyldopamine (DPDA), 2-N, N-di-n-propylamino-6, 7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (DP-6,7-ADTN), B-HT 920 and B-HT 933 (azepexole) were used.In pithed normotensive rats, DPDA (30 and 100 g/kg/min) dose-dependently inhibited the electrical stimulation-induced increase in diastolic pressure, but did not significantly affect the stimulation-evoked increase in heart rate. The inhibition exerted by DPDA was blocked by haloperidol and sulpiride (0.3 mg/kg of each), but not by yohimbine (1 mg/kg), indicating the involvement of dopamine receptors. In this respect, sulpiride and haloperidol were found approximately equipotent.DP-6,7-ADTN (10 and 30 g/kg/min) impaired both tachycardic and vasoconstrictor responses in a dose-dependent manner. Sulpiride (0.3 mg/kg) only partially restored the DP-6,7-ADTN-depressed stimulation-evoked increase in diastolic pressure, whereas yohimbine (1 mg/kg) alone was without effect. The combination of both antagonists completely prevented the inhibition caused by DP-6,7-ADTN. On the other hand, yohimbine (1 mg/kg), but not sulpiride (0.3 mg/kg), selectively antagonized the DP-6,7-ADTN-induced inhibition of stimulation-evoked tachycardia.B-HT 920 (1, 3 and 10 g/kg/min) very effectively reduced the increase in diastolic pressure and heart rate caused by electrical stimulation. Inhibitory dopamine as well as ₂-adrenoceptors participated in the vascular effects of B-HT 920, whereas ₂-adrenoceptors were only involved in the cardioinhibitory response to this agonist.B-HT 933 (0.6 and 1 mg/kg/min) dose-dependently reduced the stimulation-evoked increase in arterial pressure through selective stimulation of inhibitory ₂-adrenoceptors, dopamine receptors not taking a part.The results confirm and extend the observations that in addition to ₂-adrenoceptors inhibitory dopamine receptors are located on the sympathetic neurons connected with the arterial vasculature of the pithed normotensive rat. The sympathetic nerves innervating the rat heart do not contain inhibitory dopamine receptors; their activity only can be modulated by ₂-adrenoceptor stimulation. In the pithed normotensive rat, activation of prejunctionally located ₂-adrenoceptors more effectively inhibits the sympathetic activity directed to the heart than that to the resistance vessels.

An Epidemiology Model for Estimating the Numbers of US Patients With Multiple Myeloma by Line of Therapy and Treatment Exposure

ObjectivesEstimates on the distribution of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) by line of therapy (LOT) are scarce and get outdated quickly as new treatments become available. The objective of this study was to estimate the number of patients with MM by LOT and the number of patients who have received at least 4 previous LOTs including proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).MethodsA compartmental model was developed to calculate the number of patients by LOT. Two pathways were considered based on stem cell transplant eligibility, and at each pathway, treatments were stratified in 2 types: anti-CD38 mAbs or other. The model population was stratified into 4 subgroups based on age and cytogenetic risk. Model inputs were informed from real-world evidence.ResultsThe model estimated that, in 2020, 126 869 patients were living with MM in the United States. Of these, 105 701 received treatment in any LOT, with 56 959, 27 252, 11 258, and 5217 in lines 1 to 4, respectively, and 5015 in line 5 or beyond. The model estimated that 3497 patients received at least 4 previous LOTs including proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, and anti-CD38 mAbs. The model overall prevalence predictions aligned well with publicly available estimates.ConclusionsThis study proposes a novel framework to estimate MM prevalence. It can assist clinicians to understand future trends in MM epidemiology, healthcare systems to plan for future resource use allocation, and payers to quantify the budget impact of new treatments.
