Blood pressure lowering effect of the aqueous extract of the stem of Ipomoea acanthocarpa (convolvulaceae) in spontaneously and salt-loaded hypertensive rats

Spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and salt-loaded hypertensive rats (SLHR) were submitted to a daily treatment by gavage of 2 mL/100 g body weight of the aqueous extract of the stem of Ipomoea acanthocarpa (30 mg/mL stock solution). A fall in blood pressure of nearly 13% was observed after two successive administrations of the aqueous extract. After 14 days of treatment, the blood pressure fell by more than 30±8%. The hypotensive effect might be due to a direct vascular smooth muscle effect or to its already observed high diuretic effects or might be acting by some other mechanism.     

The effects of changes to action potential duration on the calcium content of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes

. We have estimated sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium content using rapid application of caffeine on voltage clamped, isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes. Caffeine induces the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and this calcium is extruded from the cells by the sarcolemmal Na/Ca exchange. Integrating the inward Na/Ca exchange current thus allows estimations of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium content. Ventricular myocytes were stimulated to reach new steady-states by action potential voltage clamps of varying duration. Once contractile steady-state had been reached caffeine was rapidly applied in place of the next action potential and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium content measured. Prolonging the action potential duration increased sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium content and vice-versa. This calcium loading may underlie the positive inotropic effect of increased action potential duration.

Effects of 5-Hydroxytraptamine on Aggregation,Release Reaction and Mobilization of Cytosolic Free Calcium Concentration in Rabbit Normal and Washed Single Platelets

In rabbit platelet rich plasma (PRP), 5-hydroxytraptamine (5-HT,0.03～3μmol/L) induced decrease in light transmission (DLT) dose-de pendently with centralization, as revealed by electron microscopy. However, 5-HT did not induced platelet aggregation and release reaction. 5-HT-induced DLT was inhibited by methysergide (0.3～30μmol/L), indomethacin (0.3～10μmol/L) and PGE_1 (0.01～0.3μmol/L) in a dose-dependent manner, but not EGTA(0.3～3mmol/L). Collagen(Coll), arachidonic acid (AA), adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a stable thromboxane A2 analoge(STA_2) also induced DLT before aggregation by themselves, which was also inhibited by PGE_1, but not inhibited by EGTA except for Coll However,Coll-, AA-, STA_2-and ADP-induced DLT were reduced by pretreatment of PRP with 5-HT dose-depen-dently. The duration of DLT by Coll and AA were decreased from 151.4±5.93 sec and 15(?)38±0.60sec to 45.44±4.04 sec and 9.00±1.25 sec respectively ((?)±s(?) P<0.01), but not by ADP and STA_2, 3μmol/L of ADP-and 0.3μmol/L of STA_2-induced aggregation which was not accompanied with release reaction were enhanced by 5-HT pretreatment, but in those (Coil 5μg/ml, AA 100～200μmol/L and STA_2 1～3 μmol/L) with release reaction, the amount of adenosine triphosphate(ATP)were suppressed significantly (P<0.001) by 5-HT pretreatment without the effect on the magnitude of aggregation, The mobilization of cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca~(2+)]i) was observed after 5-HT treatment in single washed platelet, the results indicated that the basic level of [Ca~(2+)] i was 64.78±3.24nmol/L and this level was increased dose-dependently and significantly at 30 sec after administration of 5-HT and the time of peak value of [Ca~(2+)] i was at 90～100 sec.The similar time courses of suppression of ATP released during aggregation, in cases of Coll(5μg/ml), AA (200μmol/L) and STA_2(3μmol/L), by 5-HT were also found in the present experiment.     

The influx of Ca and the release of noradrenaline evoked by the stimulation of presynaptic nicotinic receptors of chick sympathetic neurons in culture are not mediated via L-, N-, or P-type calcium channels

We have shown earlier that nicotinic agonists induce the release of noradrenaline from chick sympathetic neurons in culture in two ways: (a) by activating the postsynaptic nicotinic receptors on nerve cell bodies, giving rise to spreading electrical activity and opening of voltage operated calcium channels in neuronal processes; (b) by activating the presynaptic nicotinic receptors on neuronal processes. In the present work, we investigated the contribution of various pathways to the observed Ca²⁺ influx and subsequent noradrenaline release. Sympathetic neurons in culture were stimulated either by the nicotinic agonist dimethylphenylpiperazinium or electrically, in the presence or absence of tetrodotoxin and of specific blockers of calcium or nicotinic channels, and the effects on [Ca²⁺]_i in the area of neuronal processes and on noradrenaline release were measured. Under control conditions, the N-type channel blocker ω-conotoxin (0.1 μmol/1) diminished the release of noradrenaline and the increase of intraterminal Ca²⁺ by 48% and 55%, respectively, whereas the L-type channel blocker (+)Bay k 8644 (1 μmol/1) diminished the release of noradrenaline by 25% and the increase of [Ca²⁺]_i by 39%. The P-type channel blocker ω-agatoxin (0.3 μmol/1) had no effect. The effects of the L-type channel ligands were complex and could only be explained on the assumption that, at high concentrations, these drugs also act as nicotinic antagonists. Tetrodotoxin blocked the Ca²⁺ response evoked by electrical stimulation whereas DMPP applied in the presence of tetrodotoxin still evoked an increase of [Ca²⁺]_i and the release of noradrenaline (27% and 30% of control without tetrodotoxin, respectively). These residual responses were not blocked by any of the calcium channel blockers used or by their combination. Apparently, a substantial part of the influx of Ca²⁺ induced by the activation of presynaptic nicotinic receptors is not carried by the N-, L- or P-type channels and probably occurs directly via the open channels of nicotinic receptors.

The root canal was dressed with pure calcium hydroxide mixed with normal saline for 1 month before it was obturated with gutta percha and apicoectomy surgery undertaken to attempt primary closure of the fenestration. The PDL and the fenestration healed uneventfully.     

Osteoporosis and Coronary Atherosclerosis in Asymptomatic Postmenopausal Women

Estrogen deficiency is a risk factor for osteoporosis and coronary artery disease. Osteoporosis can be evaluated by measuring bone mineral density (BMD). Coronary atherosclerotic burden can be evaluated by measuring coronary calcium using electron beam computed tomography (EBT) of the heart. We compared coronary calcium scores in 45 asymptomatic postmenopausal women with normal and low BMD. BMD of the lumbar spine and proximal femur was measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and coronary calcium was measured quantitatively by EBT. Women were divided into control, osteopenia, and osteoporosis groups based on the T score of the lumbar spine. Women were similar in age, years since menopause, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI). BMD ± SD (g/cm²) of L1–L4 was 0.96 ± 0.11, 0.83 ± 0.03, and 0.73 ± 0.05, in control, osteopenia, and osteoporosis group, respectively. The total coronary calcium score ± SD (relative units) was 41.9 ± 83.1, 115.1 ± 181.9, and 221.7 ± 355.4 for control, osteopenia, and osteoporosis group, respectively; the score was significantly higher in the osteoporosis than in the control group. This study provides initial data suggesting that women with osteoporosis may have a higher risk of developing coronary atherosclerosis.     

EFFECT OF CROSS-FOSTERING ON NEONATAL SODIUM BALANCE AND ADULT BLOOD PRESSURE IN THE SPONTANEOUSLY HYPERTENSIVE RAT

1. The aim of the present study was to compare electrolyte handling in naturally reared neonatal spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with those reared by a Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rat foster mother (denoted SHRX), as cross-fostering SHR pups to a WKY rat dam lowers adult blood pressure in the SHR. 2. The electrolyte content of WKY rat and SHR dams’ milk was determined and electrolyte intake and urinary excretion rates were calculated in both naturally reared and cross-fostered WKY rat and SHR pups. 3. The milk sodium concentration fell in both strains (WKY rat: 31.8 ± 2.0 to 15.2 ± 1.2 mmol/L; SHR 31.9 ± 2.5 to 18.2 ± 1.6 mmol/L; P < 0.001), as did potassium (P < 0.001), over lactation, but there were no differences between strains. Calcium and magnesium concentrations increased (P< 0.001), although SHR dam's milk contained less calcium (P < 0.001) than that of WKY rat dams during the third week of lactation. 4. Spontaneously hypertensive rat pups ingested less milk (P<0.05) than WKY rat pups; therefore, their cumulative sodium intake over postnatal days 4–15 was significantly lower than that of WKY rat pups (WKY rat vs SHR: 84.4 ± 3.6 vs 59.7 ± 2.6 μmol/g bodyweight, respectively; P < 0.05) and fostered SHRX pups (77.7 ± 7.0 μmol/g bodyweight; P < 0.05). Potassium and magnesium intakes were comparable between SHR, WKY rat and SHRX pups, but SHR pups ingested significantly less calcium than either WKY rat pups (136.1 ± 6.4 vs 200.1 ± 9.5p, mol/g bodyweight, respectively; P<0.05) or SHRX pups (200.0 ± 18.0 μmol/g bodyweight; P<0.05). 5. These data show that the neonatal SHR experiences a period of sodium deficiency during the developmental stage when cross-fostering is effective in lowering blood pressure. This is consistent with the reported up-regulation of the renin-angiotensin system observed in SHR at this time and may have a long-term influence on blood pressure.
