Effects of 1.32-μm Nd-YAG laser on brain thermal and histological experimental data

Considering that the 1.32-μm Nd-YAG laser should have physicothermal properties close to those of the CO₂ laser, a series of experiments were conducted on rat cortex (N = 51). Three laser wavelengths were compared: CO₂ laser (10.6 μm), 1.06-μm Nd-YAG, and 1.32-μm Nd-YAG lasers. For each shot, temperature measurements were recorded with an infrared thermographic videocamera. The digitized signals were figured as thermal profiles and temperature developments. Ninety-five shots were correctly studied and analyzed: CO₂, N = 29; 1.06-μm Nd-YAG, N = 20; 1.32-μm Nd-YAG, N = 46. The histological lesions produced by these three lasers were compared on animals killed 24 hours (N = 20), 8 days (N = 20), and 30 days (N = 5) after the laser impacts. For equivalent densities of energy, the depth of cortical necrosis was comparable for the CO₂ laser (200–250 μm) and the 1.32-μm Nd-YAG laser (210–260μm) whatever the date of death; the 1.06-μm Nd-YAG laser shots were responsible for much more important damage (400–550μm). Because of its important absorption in water and nervous tissue, the authors consider the 1.32-μm Nd-YAG laser most suitable for neurosurgery, particularly because it is conducted through optic fibers, and therefore is easy to handle during neurosurgical procedures.     

Reversal of diabetes in BB rats by transplantation of encapsulated pancreatic islets

Prolonged survival of pancreatic islet allografts implanted in diabetic BB rats was achieved by encapsulation of individual islets in a protective biocompatible alginate-polylysine-alginate membrane without immunosuppression. Intraperitoneal transplantation of the encapsulated islets reversed the diabetic state of the recipients within 3 days and maintained normoglycemia for 190 days. Normal body weight and urine volume were maintained during this period, and no cataracts were detected in the transplant recipients. In contrast, control rats receiving transplants of unencapsulated islets experienced normoglycemia for less than 2 wk. These results demonstrated that microencapsulation can protect allografted islets from both graft rejection and autoimmune destruction without immunosuppression in an animal model that mimics human insulin-dependent diabetes.

Immunochemical characterization of multiple forms of cytochrome P-450 in rabbit nasal microsomes and evidence for tissue-specific expression of P-450s NMa and NMb

Two unique forms of cytochrome P-450 (P-450), designated NMa and NMb, were recently isolated in this laboratory from nasal microsomes of rabbits. In the present study, polyclonal antibodies to the purified nasal cytochromes were prepared. Immunochemical analysis with specific rabbit anti-NMa and sheep anti-NMb antibodies indicated that P-450 isozymes identical to or having a high structural homology with NMa are present in both olfactory and respiratory mucosa, as well as in liver, but NMb was detected only in the olfactory mucosa. Neither form was detected in other tissues examined, including brain, esophageal mucosa, heart, intestinal mucosa, kidney, and lung. The specific occurrence of NMb in the olfactory mucosa was further substantiated by the detection and specific inhibition by anti-NMb of the formation of unique NMb-dependent metabolites of testosterone in olfactory microsomes but not in microsomes from liver or respiratory mucosa. Similar experiments with antibodies to previously purified rabbit hepatic P-450 isozymes indicated that not all of the hepatic cytochromes are expressed in the nasal tissues. Thus, P-450 isozymes structurally homologous to hepatic forms 2, 3a, and 4, but not 3b and 6, were found in the olfactory mucosa. On the other hand, only form 2 was detected in the respiratory mucosa. Immunoquantitation experiments revealed that NMa and NMb are the major P-450 forms in olfactory microsomes, whereas NMa and P-450 form 2 (or its homolog) constitute the major portion of the respiratory nasal microsomal P-450. The level of NMa in the liver is relatively low, accounting for less than 3% of total microsomal P-450 in this tissue. In addition, evidence is provided that NMa is the major catalyst in the dealkylation of two nasal carcinogens, hexamethylphosphoramide and phenacetin, in both olfactory and respiratory nasal microsomes.     

Investigation of Role of Nitric Oxide in Protection from Bordetella pertussis Respiratory Challenge

The mechanism whereby whole-cell pertussis vaccines (WCV) confer protection against Bordetella pertussis is still not fully understood. We have previously reported that macrophage activation produced by vaccination with WCV is associated with induction of NO synthesis by macrophages in response to in vitro stimulation with B. pertussis antigens. To determine whether NO production is an effector of protection or simply a marker of activation, the susceptibility of inducible nitric oxide synthase (type II, iNOS) knockout mice to infection with B. pertussis was examined. We showed that iNOS knockout mice were more susceptible to B. pertussis respiratory challenge than wild-type mice. iNOS-deficient mice also developed a less effective protective response than wild-type mice after the same immunization with WCV. This suggests that NO plays an important role in effecting protection against B. pertussis challenge.     

Reflex Cardiorespiratory Effects of Nociceptive Oesophageal Distension in the Decerebrate Rat

It is well established that painful distension of hollow viscera such as the oesophagus can evoke a reflex tachycardia and pressor response; however, the nature of the oesophageal afferent pathway(s) remains controversial. This study investigated the afferent arc which mediates these reflex cardiovascular changes in the decerebrate rat. In addition, the effect of oesophageal distension on the respiratory activity of the costal diaphragm was studied. Focal distension of the oesophagus (volume of 0.3 ml applied for 10 s) just above the diaphragmatic hiatus evoked a reproducible pressor response and tachycardia in the decerebrate rat. Respiration was transiently inhibited at the beginning of oesophageal distension and prior to the rise in blood pressure. Neuromuscular blockade with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor blocker alpha-bungarotoxin (140 microg bolus) had no effect on the magnitude of the cardiovascular response. Therefore the efferent supply to the striated muscle of the rat oesophagus was not essential in mediating this reflex. Signal averaging of the mean blood pressure response showed that neither selective ablation of oesophageal spinal afferents nor bilateral vagotomy altered the early trajectory of the pressure response. Bilateral vagotomy reduced the peak magnitude of the response to sustained oesophageal distension. In contrast, selective removal of spinal afferents had no effect on the response. Ablation of both neural pathways was essential to abolish the reflex cardiovascular and respiratory responses. It can be concluded that both vagal and spinal afferent pathways are utilised in the reflex cardiorespiratory response to painful oesophageal distension. Although ablation of one neural pathway had no effect on the response it was still implicated in the reflex, since ablation of both pathways was necessary to prevent the cardiorespiratory changes. This study emphasises the need for caution when inferences are made concerning single selective ablations of multiply innervated organs.
