Electrotonic Inhibition and Active Facilitation of Excitability in Ventricular Muscle

Inhibition and Facilitation in Cardiac Muscle. Introduction: The effects of subthreshold electrical pulses on the response to subsequent stimulation have been described previously in experimental animal studies as well as in the human heart. In addition, previous studies in cardiac Purkinje fibers have shown that diastolic excitability may decrease after activity (active inhibition) and, to a lesser extent, following subthreshold responses (electrotonic inhibition). However, such dynamic changes in excitability have not been explored in isolated ventricular muscle, and it is uncertain whether similar phenomena may play any role in the activation pal-terns associated with propagation abnormalities in the myocardium. Methods and Results: Experiments were performed in isolated sheep Purkinje fibers and papillary muscles, and in enzymatically dissociated guinea pig ventricular myocytes. In all types of preparations introduction of a conditioning subthreshold pulse between two subthreshold pulses was followed by a transient decay in excitability (electrotonic inhibition). The degree of inhibition was directly related to the amplitude and duration of the conditioning pulse and inversely related to the postconditioning interval. Yet, inhibition could be demonstrated long after (> 1 sec) the end of the conditioning pulse. Electrotonic inhibition was found at all diastolic intervals and did not depend on the presence of a previous action potential. In Purkinje fibers, conditioning action potentials led to active inhibition of subsequent responses. In contrast, in muscle cells, such action potentials had a facilitating effect (active facilitation). Electrotonic inhibition and active facilitation were observed in both sheep ventricular muscle and guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Accordingly, during repetitive stimulation with pulses of barely threshold intensity, we observed: (1) bistability (i.e., with the same stimulating parameters, stimulus: response patterns were either 1:1 or 1:0, depending on previous history), and (2) abrupt transitions between 1:1 and 1:0 (absence of intermediate wenckebach-like patterns). Simulations utilizing an ionic model of cardiac myocytes support the hypothesis that electrotonic inhibition in well-polarized ventricular muscle is the result of partial activation of I_k following subthreshold pulses. On the other hand, active facilitation may be the result of an activity-induced decrease in the conductance of I_K1. Conclusion: Diastolic excitability of well-polarized ventricular myocardium may be transiently depressed following local responses and transiently enhanced following action potentials. On the other hand, diastolic excitability decreases during quiescence. Active facilitation and electrotonic inhibition may have an important role in determining the dynamics of excitation of the myocardium in the presence of propagation abnormalities.     

A ring electrode to record extraocular muscle activities during skull base surgery

Summary A ring-shaped electrode was developed and used in 20 patients to record evoked electromyographic responses directly from the extraocular muscles during skull base surgery. Intra-operative monitoring with this electrode helps the surgeon to localize the nerves that innervate the extraocular muscles precisely and to refrain from disturbing important neural structures during operations. Such monitoring also provides some insight into the pathophysiology of the dysfunction of these nerves resulting from skull base lesions.

Influence of continuous infusion of interleukin-1 alpha on the core protein and the core protein fragments of the small proteoglycan decorin in cartilage.

Decorin, a collagen-binding small proteoglycan, is considered to have a specific function in the organization or stability of the collagen network. Therefore, alteration of its molecular properties may be of pathophysiological relevance during the development of cartilage damage. It is shown here that normal cartilage from rabbit knee-joint contains glycosaminoglycan chain-bearing core protein fragments of 39, 23, and 18 kDa, each one amounting to approximately 5-6% of the intact decorin core protein. Continuous infusion of human recombinant interleukin-1 alpha for 14 days (200 ng/day) into a knee-joint led in condylar cartilage to a reduction in the amount of intact core protein from 2 micrograms/mg wet tissue to about 1.1 micrograms/mg. The increase in its quantity found after infusion of heat-inactivated interleukin-1 was not statistically significant. The concentration of all three core protein fragments became reduced to a similar extent as the intact core protein under the influence of the cytokine, and additional fragments were not found. Surprisingly, there was a much smaller response to interleukin-1-treatment in patellar cartilage.

Comparative inotropic effect of calcium, endothelin-1, and forskolin on ferret papillary muscles during acidosis

Summary— Acidosis affects multiple steps in the excitation-contraction coupling pathway of myocardium, producing decreased calcium sensitivity of myofibrils and modification of the function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of three different classes of inotropic agents under acidotic conditions: 1) forskolin, an adenylate cyclase activator that enhances cellular cyclic AMP concentrations, 2) elevated extracellular Ca²⁺ and 3) endothelin-1, an activator of the inositol triphosphate, diacylglycerol pathway. Ferret papillary muscles were mounted in organ baths containing normal physiological solution (pH = 7.4). After baseline tension was measured, the muscles were bathed in an acidotic solution (pH = 6.98) that decreased tension to 40% of the control; subsequently, the muscles were washed with normal physiological solution until they returned to baseline. Each inotropic agent was added to the bathing solution in a concentration sufficient to increase tension by 40% above the baseline. Then the solution was made acidotic (pH = 6.98) in the continuous presence of that concentration of inotropic agent and the resultant steady-state developed tension measured. The increases in tension induced by each inotropic agent at normal pH were adjusted to be similar; in contrast, the response to each drug in acidosis was significantly different. Under acidotic conditions, endothelin-1 was the most effective inotropic agent in restoring the depressed developed tension. This was possibly due to enhancement of the myofilament sensitivity to Ca²⁺, which was more effective than increasing [Ca²⁺]_i through elevating extracellular Ca²⁺ or the addition of forskolin which increased [Ca²⁺]_i but desensitized the myofilaments to Ca²⁺.
