Inhibition of a dihydropyridine, omega-conotoxin insensitive Ca2+ channel in rat synaptosomes by venom of the spider Hololena curta.

Inhibition of the N and L type Ca2+ channels with omega conotoxin GVIA (omega-CgTx) together with the dihydropyridine (-)-202-791 produces slight reduction (congruent to 25%) of K(+)-evoked Ca2+ influx in mammalian synaptosomes. These results and others suggest the existence of a third high threshold voltage sensitive calcium channel (VSCC) responsible for the majority of influx. Venom from the funnel web spider Hololena curta potently and persistently inhibited Ca2+ influx in rat cortical synaptosomes (IC50 1:10,000 or 4.21 micrograms/venom protein/ml of synaptosomes). Also Ca2+ influx in cerebellar synaptosomes was inhibited in a similar manner. K(+)-evoked tritium release from synaptosomes labeled with [3H]noradrenaline was inhibited by Hololena venom (congruent to 60% reduction at 10 micrograms/venom protein). Inhibition of Ca2+ influx by venom was unaffected by combined omega-CgTx and (-)-202-791 pretreatment (both 1 microM). Hololena venom and its active constituent should provide useful tools to investigate the role of this novel Ca2+ channel in neuronal function.     

Macrophages are activated by 17beta-estradiol: possible permission role in endometriosis.

On the basis of the common occurrence of high concentration of estrogen and activated macrophages in patients with endometriosis, we postulate that interaction between 17beta-estradiol and macrophage may be an important affair in endometriosis. So our study was focused on the effect of 17beta-estradiol on macrophage. First morphology of macrophages was examined with environmental scanning electron microscopy. Increased size, extension of more microvilli, expression of retraction fibers and elaboration of membrane ruffles were detected in 17beta-estradiol treated macrophages. Then Nitrate and nitrite level in the supernatant was measured by the method of Griess and iNOS expression was analyzed using immunohistochemical staining. It showed that 17beta-estradiol could induce NO release from peritoneal macrophages and expression of iNOS was increased. Also more TNF-alpha in supernatant that was measured by MTT via L929 cell was produced by macrophages under the inducing of 17beta-estradiol. Furthermore, [Ca2+]i, which was viewed by microscope in a laser scanning confocal unit, elevated 39.8% in peritoneal macrophages after 17beta-estradiol 100 nmol/L treated. The results above demonstrated that peritoneal macrophage had been activated in both morphology and cytokine line when interaction with 17beta-estradiol, which indicated that macrophage activated by 17beta-estradiol might play a permission role in development of endometriosis.

Tardive dyskinesia in children treated with atypical antipsychotic medications.

Recent years have witnessed increased antipsychotic treatment of children despite limited long‐term safety data in children. In this study, motor side effects associated with the use of antipsychotic drugs in children were examined in a sample of pediatric psychiatric patients. Child and adolescent psychiatric patients receiving antipsychotics (most were on atypicals) for 6 months or longer (n = 118) were compared with antipsychotic‐naïve patients (n = 80) with similar age, sex ratio, and diagnoses. Only 19% of patients on antipsychotics had ever experienced psychotic symptoms. Eleven children (9%) on antipsychotics exhibited dyskinesia, when compared with 0 in the naïve group (P = 0.003, Fisher's exact test). Nine of 62 African–American children (15%) on antipsychotics exhibited dyskinesia, when compared with only 4% (2 of 52) of European–American children (P = 0.003, Fisher's exact test). Children treated with antipsychotic drugs might experience a significant risk of dyskinesia even when treated only with atypical antipsychotics. Ethnicity might also be a risk factor for dyskinesia in children. Side‐effect profile of the atypical antipsychotic drugs in children may be much different than that in adults. © 2007 Movement Disorder Society
