Effect of gradual rise in plasma calcium concentration on the impairment of atrioventricular nodal conduction due to verapamil

The possible reversal by calcium of the inhibitory action of verapamil on the atrioventricular (AV) node was investigated in anesthetized, atropinized dogs, with cardiac pacing. The His bundle potentials were recorded by endocavitory electrode and the AV node effective refractory period measured by the extrastimulus method. Calcium infusion was effective against the impairment of AV nodal conduction induced by verapamil, provided it remained moderate: the gradual rise in the plasma calcium concentration counteracted the effects of an infusion of verapamil on conduction time and effective refractory period in the AV node, as long as it did not exceed 5 mmol/L. However, beyond this level, calcium appeared less and less capable of reversing the effects of verapamil. Thus, the protective action of calcium had a bell-shaped dose-response curve, with the optimum at 5 mmol/L. This biphasic influence is consistent with the opposite opinions previously given concerning the antagonism between calcium and calcium blockers, depending on whether hypercalcemia brought into play was mild or major. In any case, the prominent role played by calcium in the slow inward current in the AV node accounts for the antagonism, observed in vivo, between calcium and verapamil. The pacemaker activity of the sinoatrial (SA) node was less influenced by both calcium blocker and calcium.     

Drug driving from a user's perspective

The bulk of research into drug driving in Australia has been undertaken from a road safety orientation where drug driving is viewed within the broader context of road safety and driver behaviour. Such a specific focus precludes the broader behavioural, contextual and cultural issues associated with substance use. This study aimed to address this issue by focusing on drug driving behaviour within the context of illicit substance use. A series of focused interviews were conducted with 211 illicit drug users from urban and regional centres. A consistent theme identified in the interviews was that drug driving was not necessarily viewed as risky behaviour but rather as an outcome of illicit substance use. Further, some interviewees saw their drug use as enhancing their driving skills and frequently the motor vehicle was viewed as a safe place to use. Overall there was agreement among interviewees that the likelihood of being apprehended for drug driving by police was minimal; this perception was reinforced by past experience. The lack of concern for detection of drug driving behaviour suggests that research should continue into the development and implementation of enforcement programs and roadside detection.     

一种简单、稳定、可靠的屏氧酶1基因多态性分析法

目的：建立一种简单、稳定、可靠的PON1基因多态性分析法。方法：取外周静脉血100μl，用ROSE法提取基因组DNA，用两对引物：P192F 5′-TAT TGT TGC TGT GGG ACC TGA G-3′,P192R 5′-CAC GCT AAA CCC AAA TAC ATC TC-3′；P55F 5′-GAA GAG TGA TGT ATA GCC CCA G-3′,P55R 5′-TTT AAT CCA GAG CTA ATG AAA GCC-3分别进行PCR扩增，用限制性内切酶AlwI,NlaⅢ对两种PCR产物分别进行酶切，3％琼脂糖凝胶电泳。结果：扩增的两个PCR产物在192、55多态性位点大小分别为99bp、170bp。Alw I酶切后，凝胶电脉得到完全酶切（66bp,33bp)，部分酶切（99bp、66bp、33bp)，未被酶切（99bp)三种类型DNA片段（RR，QR，QQ基因型）；NlaⅢ酶切后，凝胶电脉得到部分酶切（170bp,126bp,44bp)，未被酶切（170bp)两种类型DNA片段（LM，LL基因型）。经双盲重复检测，结果一致。应用此方法对胃癌患者血样标本检测，发现其PON1基因多态性在192位点频率较高。结论：采用一步PCR－RFLP技术可以建立简单、稳定、可靠的PON1基因多态性分析法。
