Micropuncture experiments were performed on intact and remnant kidneys of male Sprague-Dawley rats before and after angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition with captopril (0.5 mg kg^-1 iv). Partially nephrectomized rats were studied at 2 and 8 weeks post-surgery before the development of systemic hypertension. At 2 weeks, nephrectomized rats had a numerically higher tubular stop-flow pressure than controls (43 ± 2 mmHg vs. 38 ± 2 mmHg; P = 0.08) and a higher post- to pre-glomerular resistance ratio (Re/Ra) (0.40 ± 0.03 vs. 0.31± 0.03; P = 0.08). At 8 weeks, stop-flow pressure and post- to pre-glomerular resistance ratios were similar in remnant and intact kidneys. Captopril had no effect on stop-flow pressure in 2 week post-surgery nephrectomized rats or either control group, but it increased stop-flow pressure in 8 week post-surgery nephrectomized rats (40 ± 2 to 44 ± 2 mmHg, P= 0.04). This increase in stop-flow pressure was associated with an increase in the post- to pre-glomerular resistance ratio (0.33 ± 0.02–0.42 ±0.02, P = 0.009). Stop-flow pressure was positively correlated with the post- to pre-glomerular resistance ratio in 2-week post-surgery nephrectomized rats and their respective controls when combined (r = 0.89, P= 0.0001) and 8-week post-surgery nephrectomized rats and their respective controls combined (r= 0.78, P = 0.0001). Stop-flow pressure was not significantly correlated with mean arterial pressures or welling-point pressures in these groups. We conclude that stop-flow pressure in remnant kidneys of pre-hypertensive rats is primarily determined by the post- to pre-glomerular resistance ratio, and increases in stop-flow pressure and post- to pre-glomerular resistance ratios in remnant kidneys are transient in the absence of systemic hypertension. The role of the renin-angiotensin system in determining the ratio and stop-flow pressure is dependent on time post-nephrectomy. Captopril-induced increases in stop-flow pressure and post- to pre-glomerular resistance ratio at 8 weeks, suggests that its primary effect at that time is not a preferential post-gIomerular vasodilation subsequent to reductions in intrarenal angiotensin II.

The resurgence of tuberculosis in the Republic of Ireland: Perceptions and reality

Tuberculosis remained a very significant cause of death in Ireland until the mid-20th century and still occupies a prominent position in the folk memory. As I show with reference to recent Irish media coverage, the global resurgence of tuberculosis is therefore viewed with concern in Ireland. Using data collated by the Health Protection Surveillance Centre between 1998 and 2005 however, I show that the recent increase in tuberculosis incidence in Ireland is less than is popularly perceived. This increase is largely associated with economic immigrants attracted to Ireland by the ‘Celtic Tiger’ economic boom, but there is little evidence to suggest that this has had a negative impact on the Irish-born population. Drug resistance is still a small but growing problem. Whilst vigilance is required, it is argued that the recent increase does not at present indicate a likely return to the situation in the mid-20th century.     

穹窿体与肿瘤多药耐药

穹窿体是真核细胞中的核糖核蛋白颗粒,由肺耐药蛋白、穹窿体多聚腺苷二磷酸聚合酶、端粒酶相关蛋白和穹窿体RNA构成,其主要成分为肺耐药蛋白。肺耐药蛋白是介导肿瘤多药耐药的蛋白之一,可能与肿瘤的治疗效果和临床预后相关。穹窿体可能通过介导药物转运或者信号转导引起肿瘤的多药耐药。文章介绍了穹窿体的结构、成分及其介导多药耐药机制研究的新进展。     

Metabolic Characterization of Nondiabetic Severely Obese Patients Undergoing Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Preoperative Classification Predicts the Effects of Gastric Bypass on Insulin–Glucose Homeostasis

Introduction Obese individuals may have normal insulin–glucose homeostasis, insulin resistance, or diabetes mellitus. Whereas gastric bypass cures insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus, its effects on normal physiology have not been described. We studied insulin resistance and β-cell function for patients undergoing gastric bypass. Methods One hundred thirty-eight patients undergoing gastric bypass had fasting insulin and glucose levels drawn on days 0, 12, 40, 180, and 365. Thirty-one (22%) patients with diabetes mellitus were excluded from this analysis. Homeostatic model of assessment was used to estimate insulin resistance, insulin sensitivity, and β-cell function. Based on this model, patients were categorized as high insulin resistance if their insulin resistance was >2.3. Results Body mass index did not correlate with insulin resistance. Forty-seven (34%) patients were categorized as high insulin resistance. Correction of insulin resistance for this group occurred by 12 days postoperatively. Sixty (43%) patients were categorized as low insulin resistance. They demonstrated an increase of β-cell function by 12 days postoperatively, which returned to baseline by 6 months. At 1 year postoperatively, the low insulin resistance group had significantly higher β-cell function per degree of insulin sensitivity. Conclusions Adipose mass alone cannot explain insulin resistance. Severely obese individuals can be categorized by degree of insulin resistance, and the effect of gastric bypass depends upon this preoperative physiology.
