Magnesium restores high K-induced inactivation of the fast Na channel in guinea pig ventricular muscle

The effect of extracellular magnesium concentration (Mg_o) on the upstroke of the action potential was studied in guinea pig ventricular muscle under various K⁺ concentrations (2.7–19mM). Increased Mg_o shifted the steady state inactivation curve of the fast Na channel in the depolarizing direction and this effect was concentration-dependent (0–20mM). Such an effect could explain the Mg-induced increase in maximum rate of rise of the action potential which Späh and Fleckenstein (1979) proposed to be due to a Mg channel.     

The effects of calcium and magnesium on inhibitory junctional transmission in smooth muscle of guinea pig small intestine

Summary The membrane potential of smooth muscle cells in the circular layer of the guinea pig ileum was recorded using intracellular electrodes. Transmural stimulation, in the presence of atropine, caused a transient hyperpolarization, an inhibitory junction potential (IJP). IJP's are thought to result from the action of transmitter released from intramural inhibitory nerves. It has been reported that, in the guinea pig jejunum, the amplitude of the IJP resulting from field stimulation is not altered by changes in the calcium and magnesium ion concentration in the bathing solution. Experiments reported here have shown that the IJP amplitude decreased markedly on reducing the calcium ion concentration and or increasing the magnesium ion concentration. Indirect evidence is presented suggesting that the decrease in amplitude of the IJP is due to a decrease in the amount of transmitter released.     

Electrochemical release testing of nickel-titanium orthodontic wires in artificial saliva using thin layer activation

Alloys based on Ni–Ti intermetallics generally exhibit special shape memory and pseudoelastic properties, which make them desirable for use in the dental field as orthodontic wires. The possibility of nickel release from these materials is of high concern, because the allergenicity of this element. The aim of this study was to test pseudoelastic Ni–Ti wires in simulated physiological conditions, investigating the combined effect of strain and fluoridated media: the wires were examined both under strained (5% tensile strain) and unstrained conditions, in fluoridated artificial saliva at 37 °C. Real time electrochemical nickel release testing was performed using a novel application of a radiotracer based method, thin layer activation (TLA). TLA was validated, in unstrained conditions, against adsorptive stripping voltammetry methodology. Control tests were also performed in non-fluoridated artificial saliva. From our research it transpired that the corrosion behaviour of Ni–Ti alloy is highly affected by the fluoride content, showing a release of 4.79 ± 0.10 μg/cm²/day, but, differently from other biomaterials, it does not seem to be affected by elastic tensile strain. The application of the TLA method in the biomedical field appears a suitable technique to monitor in real time the corrosion behaviour of biomedical devices.

Influence of caffeine,Ca2+, and Mg2+ on ryanodine depression of the tension transient in skinned myocardial fibers of the rabbit

Ryanodine, a blocker for Ca²⁺-release channels of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR Ca²⁺-release channels), induces depression of myocardial contraction in isolated intact muscle, which is consistent with depression of the caffeine-induced tension transient in skinned muscle fibers. In isolated SR, ryanodine binds to a specific receptor with high affinity, and this binding is enhanced by caffeine and increasing Ca²⁺ and decreased by increasing Mg²⁺. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that depression of myocardial contraction is mediated by changes in ryanodine-receptor binding properties. Accordingly, factors (caffeine, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺) affecting ryanodine-receptor binding properties in the isolated SR membrane were studied in skinned myocardial fibers from adult rabbits. The depression of the caffeine-induced tension transient by ryanodine (ryanodine depression) influenced by these three factors was measured. In a dose-dependent manner, increasing caffeine or Ca²⁺ concentrations enhanced the ryanodine depression. The concentrations for 50% ryanodine depression (IC₅₀) approximated 7mM for caffeine, and pCa 5.25 for Ca²⁺. When 1 M ryanodine and 25 mM caffeine were combined, ryanodine depression was independent of Ca²⁺ at low Ca²⁺ concentrations (20%–30% at pCa>8 and 7.5) and was a direct function of Ca²⁺ at higher concentrations (pCa 7.5–6.0 with IC₅₀ approx. pCa 6.75). In contrast, increasing Mg²⁺ reduced the ryanodine depression with IC₅₀ approximately equal to pMg 3.3. In conclusion, the caffeineor Ca²⁺-enhanced, and Mg²⁺-reduced ryanodine depression observed in this study is consistent with known ryanodinereceptor binding properties.     

大鼠内毒素休克肝线粒体Ca^2＋,Mg^2＋含量变化与线粒体损伤

本文在大鼠内毒素休克模型上，观察了肝线粒体结构和功能与Ｃａ＾２＋，Ｍｇ＾２＋含量变化的关系。结果发现：休克动物肝组织和线粒体的Ｃａ＾２＋浓度升高，Ｍｇ＾２＋浓度下降与正常对照组相比有非常显著性差异；用图像分析仪定量分析显示线粒体结构明显受损，线粒体标志酶之一－琥珀酸脱氢酶（ＳＤＨ）活性明显下降，本文认为组织和线粒体内Ｍｇ＾２＋／Ｃａ＾２＋比值下降是休克细胞不可逆损伤重要因素之一。

The Effect of Intravenous Magnesium Sulphate as an Adjuvant in the Treatment of Acute Exacerbations of COPD in the Emergency Department: A Double-Blind Randomized Clinical Trial

BackgroundAcute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are serious complications that often require immediate intervention in an emergency department (ED). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of intravenous magnesium sulphate as an adjuvant in the treatment of AECOPD in the ED.MethodsIn a double-blind, randomized clinical trial, a total of 60 patients with AECOPD presenting to the ED of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Sari, Iran, were included. The study was conducted between September 2016 and February 2018. Eligible patients were randomly allocated into two groups of intervention and control. Patients in the intervention and control groups received intravenous infusion of magnesium sulfate (2 gr) or normal saline over 30 minutes, respectively. For all patients, Borgdyspnea score, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) result and clinical variables of interest were evaluated before the beginning of the intervention, and also 45 minutes and 6 hours after the commencement of intervention.ResultsRegardless of time of evaluation, pulse rate (PR), respiratory rate (RR) and Borg score in intervention group was lower than control group. Also, FEV1 and SPO2 were greater in intervention group compared to control group. However, these differences were not statistically significant (between-subject differences or group effect) (p<0.001). The trends of FEV1, SPO2, PR, RR and Borg score were similar between two groups of study (no interaction effect; P>0.05).ConclusionAccording to the results of this study, it seems that using intravenous magnesium sulfate has no significant effect on SPO2, FEV1, RR, and PR of patients with AECOPD who presented to ED.
