THE EFFECT OF ENDOGENOUS OPIOIDS ON BLOOD PRESSURE DURING STRESS

1. A series of experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of endogenous opioids on blood pressure of laboratory rats during stress. 2. Rats subjected to 120 min immobilization showed a significant drop in systolic pressure which could be prevented by pretreatment injections of naloxone. 3. Adrenalectomized rats subjected to the same kind of stress showed a drop in systolic pressure equivalent to only 30% of the systolic pressure drop in the intact animals. This decrease in systolic pressure could also be prevented by pretreatment injections of naloxone. 4. It was concluded that the decrease in systolic pressure in intact rats during immobilization was mostly due to endogenous opioids released from the adrenal glands, whereas opioids of other origins such as the pituitary gland, were also important.

Secreted and intracellular phospholipases A2 inhibition by 1-decyl 2-octyl-glycerophosphocholine in rat peritoneal macrophages

Summary— Compounds able to inhibit phospholipases A₂ can be considered as potential anti-inflammatory drugs. In this respect, the inhibitory effect of the phospholipid analogue 1-decyl 2-octyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine (decyloctyl-GPC) added to the culture medium of rat peritoneal macrophages stimulated with ionophore A23187 was determined, (a) The substrate of phospholipase A₂ 1-octadecanoyl 2-[¹⁴C]eicosatetraenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine ([¹⁴C]20:4-GPC) was added to the culture medium. In macrophages + extracellular fluids, its hydrolysis at the 2-position, produced [¹⁴C]non-phosphorous lipids which reached 12% of the dose at 0.14 μM, 73% at 0.9 and > 90% at 1.6 μM; in experiments where macrophages and extracellular fluids were analyzed separately, decyloctyl-GPC initially added at 4 μM, significantly inhibited the release of [¹⁴C]fatty acids and the eicosanoid synthesis, demonstrating its ability to inhibit secreted and/or intracellular phospholipases A₂. (b) Extracellular fluids were separated from the macrophages and incubated with [¹⁴C]20:4-GPC: 48% of the dose was hydrolyzed by extracellular fluid-associated secreted phospholipase A₂ and decyloctyl-GPC at 3 μM, reduced this hydrolysis by 50%. (c) [³H]arachidonic acid ([³H]20:4) was added to the culture medium and was esterified in the macrophage membrane phospholipids. Activation of intracellular phospholipase A₂ induced the release of [³H] fatty acids and eicosanoid synthesis. These releases were inhibited by 50% with decyloctyl-GPC added at 4 μM. (d) [³H]20:4 and [¹⁴C]20:4-GPC were added to the culture medium of the macrophages. [³H] and [¹⁴C] fatty acids and eicosanoids were released in macrophages or extracellular fluids. They were significantly reduced by the phospholipid analogue added at 4 μM. It is concluded that secreted and intracellular phospholipases A₂ were both inhibited by decyloctyl-GPC which extensively reduced the 20:4 release from exogenous and membrane phospholipids and therefore eicosanoid synthesis.     

Endothelial microparticles induce formation of platelet aggregates via a von Willebrand factor/ristocetin dependent pathway, rendering them resistant to dissociation

Endothelial microparticles (EMP) released from activated or apoptotic endothelial cells (EC) are emerging as useful markers for detection of EC dysfunction. Our recent observation that EMP carry von Willebrand factor (vWf) led us to investigate their interaction with platelets. EMP were incubated with normal washed platelets in the presence or absence of ristocetin, then platelet aggregates were measured by flow cytometry. In the absence of ristocetin, negligible EMP conjugated with platelets (< 5%) but in the presence of ristocetin (1 mg mL(-1)), EMP induced up to 95% of platelets to aggregate. EMP-platelet interaction was 80% blocked by anti-CD42b, or by 0.1 microm filtration to remove EMP. Platelet aggregates induced by normal plasma or high molecular weight vWf (Humate-P) dissociated 50% within 15-25 min following 1:20 dilution. In contrast, aggregates formed with EMP persisted two- to threefold longer with the same treatment, indicating greater stability. A similar degree of prolongation of dissociation was observed using plasma from thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) patients compared with normal plasma. Addition of EMP to plasma from severe von Willebrand disease restored his ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation. Multimer analysis of vWf on EMP showed unusually large vWf (ULvWf). In summary, EMP carries ULvWf multimers, promote platelet aggregates, and increase the stability of the aggregates thus formed.     

Interleukin-25 reduces Th17 cells and inflammatory responses in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Background

The absence of interleukin-25 (IL-25) favors the induction of Th1 and Th17 immune responses in mice. Th1 immune responses have been associated with the pathology of atherosclerosis, a lipid and inflammation driven disease of the arterial wall.

The Nordic Trueness Project 2002: use of reference measurement procedure values in a general clinical chemistry survey

Up to 136 laboratories participated in a joint effort to assess the trueness of routine measurements for 14 serum components. An unmodified, fresh-frozen human serum ("IMEP-17 Material 1"), produced for an international inter-laboratory comparison, served as the "master material". The serum had assigned values of the highest available metrological quality, and is assumed to involve no or negligible commutability problems. The material was used in the assignment of traceable values to two other reference sera, "CAL" and "X", through parallel measurements on the three materials according to a common protocol. In this transfer process, uncertainty estimates were provided for all values. The material CAL had been supplied with reference measurement procedure values in 1997, and the two sets of assigned values agreed well. A lyophilized control serum "HK02" was also included in the routine analysis series. It, too, had assigned values based on reference measurement procedures. Significant matrix effects were found. The project has provided: Assigned traceable values for 14 components in a fresh-frozen serum, available to Nordic laboratories for the coming years as "NFKK reference serum X"; Confirmation of earlier assigned reference measurement procedure values for a number of components in CAL, the main calibrator in the Nordic Reference Interval project (NORIP). The transferred values will now serve as the primary reference.; Evidence of long-term stability ( > or = 5 years) of the fresh-frozen serum CAL when stored at -80 degrees C; Evidence of substantial matrix effects in the processed serum HK02. The findings should be used to discuss to what extent reference measurement procedure values are useful and cost-efficient for this type of material.     

Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for chronic myeloid leukemia in first chronic phase: a randomized trial of busulfan-cytoxan versus cytoxan-total body irradiation as preparative regimen: a report from the French Society of Bone Marrow Graft (SFGM)

From March 1988 to March 1991, 19 French bone marrow transplant (BMT) centers participated in a prospective randomized trial comparing two conditioning regimens for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia transplanted in first chronic phase with an HLA identical sibling donor. A total of 120 consecutive patients were randomized to receive either 120 mg/kg of cyclophosphamide followed by total body irradiation (CY-TBI; n = 55) or 16 mg/kg of busulfan followed by 120 mg/kg of CY (BU-CY; n = 65). Two different TBI regimens were used. Thirteen patients received a 10-Gy single-dose TBI (SDTBI), and 42 received a fractionated TBI (FTBI). Median time between diagnosis and BMT was 315 days. Overall 5-year actuarial survival was 62.9% (65.8% +/- 12.5% for CY-TBI and 60.6 +/- 11.7% for BU-CY; P = .5), and overall disease-free survival was 55% (51% +/- 14% for CY-TBI and 59.1% +/- 11.8% for BU-CY; P = .75). All patients conditioned with CY-TBI experienced sustained engraftment; in contrast, 4 of 65 patients conditioned with BU-CY rejected the graft (P = .18). There was no significant statistical difference between the two groups regarding transplant-related mortality (29% for CY-TBI and 38% for BU-CY; P = .44). So far, with a median follow up of 42 months, 11 patients have relapsed; 9 relapses occurred after CY-TBI, mostly after FTBI (8 of 9) and 2 after BU-CY (P = .02). The actuarial risk of relapse was 4.4% +/- 6.7% after BU-CY, 11.1% +/- 20.8% after SDTBI, and 31.3% +/- 18.1% after FTBI (P = .039). In addition, independently of the conditioning regimen, the increase of posttransplant immunosuppression in 16 patients with an anti- interleukin-2 receptor monoclonal antibody (MoAb) in addition to a short course of methotrexate and cyclosporine was shown to increase the actuarial risk of relapse (57% +/- 30% with MoAb v 9% +/- 7.3% without MoAb; P = .001). We conclude that BU is an acceptable alternative to TBI for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in first chronic phase receiving BMT from HLA identical sibling donors. Both BU-CY and CY-TBI regimens gave similar transplant-related mortality, and the antileukemic efficiency of BU-CY regimen was either similar or even higher than that of CY-TBI.
