Dependency of renal potassium excretion on Na,K-ATPase transport rate

Potassium secretion may depend on the transport rate of Na, K-ATPase in basolateral cell membranes of distal tubular cells. To examine this hypothesis experiments were performed in anaesthetized dogs during inhibition of proximal potassium reabsorption by acetazolamide or mannitol (fractional potassium excretion 1.2-1.4) or additional stimulation of potassium secretion by ethacrynic acid (fractional potassium excretion 2.1). Ouabain in a dose which inhibits 70–80% of the Na, K-ATPase activity reduced fractional potassium excretion to 0.8-0.9 by an effect on distal tubular secretion since potassium transport in the proximal tubules was not affected. Ouabain-sensitive potassium excretion varied in proportion to ouabain-sensitive sodium reabsorption during variation in glomerular nitration rate, even at urinary sodium concentrations exceeding 80 mmol 1^-1. In experiments without ouabain, saline infusion raised potassium excretion and sodium reabsorption until maximal Na, K-ATPase transport rate was reached, as judged from heat production measurements, but not during further increments in urine flow. After inhibition of Na, K-ATPase activity by hypokalaemia, potassium excretion and cortical heat production remained constant over a wide range of urine flow and sodium excretion. We conclude that potassium secretion is dependent on intact Na, K-ATPase activity and is stimulated by sodium delivery to the distal nephron until maximal transport rate of the enzyme is reached.     

Genetic variations in five genes involved in the excitement of cardiomyocytes

We provide here 29 genetic variations, including 28 novel ones, in five genes that are potentially involved in the excitement of cardiomyocytes: we found 4 in KCNA10, 2 in KCNK1, 8 in KCNK6, 11 in SLC18A1 (VMAT1), and 4 in SLC6A2 (norepinephrine transporter). We also examined their allelic frequencies in a Japanese population of long QT syndrome-affected and nonaffected individuals. These data would be useful for genetic association studies designed to investigate acquired arrhythmias. Received: May 22, 2001 / Accepted: June 8, 2001     

Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of the combination of furosemide retard and triamterene

Summary The pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of the combination of furosemide retard (30 mg)/triamterene (50 mg) were compared with furosemide (30 mg) in 18 healthy male volunteers aged 39.3±6.3 years. After the administration of furosemide the onset of its effect was very rapid, reaching a maximum between 1.5 to 3 h, and followed by rebound after 9 to 10.5 h. In contrast the combination furosemide retard/triamterene showed a protracted course with a duration of effect up to 12 h. The general effect over 12 h of the two preparations was equivalent with respect to the excretion of urine, sodium, chloride and calcium, but the combination caused significantly less excretion of potassium (p0.05) than furosemide. After a lag-phase of 33.9±5.4 min the maximum plasma concentration of furosemide was reached after 3.47±0.66 h, and the elimination half-life was approximately 2 h. After a lag-phase of 33.0±17.8 min the maximum plasma concentration of the main metabolite of triamterene, the OH-TA sulphuric acid ester, was reached after 1.7±0.59 h, and its elimination half-life amounted to 1.25±0.37 h. Because of the sustained release of furosemide from the retard-formulation, its principal pharmacokinetic parameters were better adapted to those of triamterene. The consequences were not only a protracted effect but also an improved electrolyte profile, especially with regard to reduced loss of potassium. In the case of renal insufficiency, however, the potassium level in serum might be increased to an undesirable extent.     

碘化钾、碘酸钾对缺碘大鼠甲状腺形态与作用的实验研究

目的：研究碘化钾、碘酸钾对大鼠甲状腺形态学结构的影响。方法：将Wistar大鼠随机分为4组,低碘组（LI）、正常组（NI）、碘化钾组（KI）、碘酸钾组（KIO3）,3个月后观察形态学变化,并做体视学分析,获得定量参数后进行统计学处理。结果：LI组滤泡及滤泡腔的平均体积VQ、平均表面积SQ、体积密度VV、表面积密度SV均明显小于NI组,而数密度NV及比表面积S/V均明显高于NI组;经治疗3个月后,KI组和KIO3组的上述指标均有明显恢复,但尚未完全恢复正常。KI组和KIO3组之间无显著性差异。结论：低碘可致大鼠甲状腺形态典型的小滤泡增生性改变,而KI和KIO3在治疗缺碘性甲状腺肿方面均有很好的疗效,且在本实验期间两者的疗效无显著性差异。

Single channel activity associated with the calcium dependent outward current inHelix pomatia

A recently improved version of the extracellular patch clamp technique (9, 13) was used to record currents from microscopic membrane areas of Helix neurons with predominant Ca²⁺ dependent outward currents. Current fluctuations in the patches consisted mainly of frequently interrupted, one-sided steps indicating discrete open-closed state changes of single channels with an ohmic conductance of approximately 19 pS. Frequency of occurrence of the elementary events compares with amplitudes of macroscopic currents during depolarizing voltage steps of varied amplitude. Average delays in appearance of the events vary in line with delayed time courses of the cell's outward current.
