Isolation and characterization of beta 1-adrenergic receptors from adult, rat cardiac myocytes

The beta-receptors were isolated from rat cardiac myocytes and characterized. Isolated myocytes were prepared from adult rat hearts and characterized for viability. Membrane proteins were solubilized from myocytes with 1% Triton X-102. The solubilized membrane proteins were fractionated by DEAE-Sephacel ion exchange column chromatography. Two major protein peaks were obtained. The second protein peak sample was found to contain beta-receptors to which 125I-15-(4'-azido-3'-iodobenzyl)-carazolol (125I-ABC) was specifically bound. This sample was labeled covalently with 125I-ABC by UV irradiation. The radiolabeled sample was applied to a Sepharose CL-6B gel column. Two radiolabeled protein peaks, one with a molecular weight of approximately 570,000 and the other with a molecular weight of approximately 95,000 were found. When the 570,000-dalton complex was subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) under reducing conditions, it was dissociated into a component with a molecular weight of 66,000. The 95,000-dalton complex was dissociated into a 58,000-dalton component upon SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. An excess amount of isoproterenol and propranolol decreased photolabeling of the beta-receptors with 125I-ABC by 60% and 40%, respectively.     

Linear lesions for treating the recurrence of persistent atrial tachyarrhythmia after cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation

Overall, 133 patients underwent 170 procedures for the treatment of persistent ATa following an index cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (n = 715). After all the procedures, > 90% of the patients had a roof line, a mitral isthmus and/or septal line, and a cavotricuspid isthmus line. Ninety-two patients (69.2%) were in sinus rhythm after a median of 36 months since the index cryoballoon PVI. ATa: atrial tachyarrhythmia; cryo: cryoballoon; CTI: cavotricuspid isthmus; LSPV: left superior pulmonary vein; LIPV: left inferior pulmonary vein; PVI: pulmonary vein isolation; RF: radiofrequency; RSPV: right superior pulmonary vein; RIPV: right inferior pulmonary vein.

     

Enzymatic Digestion of Adult Human Articular Cartilage Yields a Small Fraction of the Total Available Cells

We investigated whether different protocols for the digestion of adult human articular cartilage influence the cell yield and capacity to attach and proliferate in culture dishes. Chondrocyte yields were expressed as a percentage of the total number of cells in the tissue, determined both histologically (using the dissector method) and biochemically (measuring the DNA content of tissue digests). Human cartilage specimens ( n = 79) were digested using different protocols based on combinations of collagenase II (CGN), trypsin/EDTA, hyaluronidase, and tosyllysylchloromethane (TLCM). Yields of viable chondrocytes were the highest within a specific range of CGN concentrations and digestion times, but always < 22% of the total available cells. The combination of CGN with trypsin/EDTA or TLCM accelerated the digestion process but did not significantly increase cell yields. The percentage of viable cells that attached to culture dishes ranged 75-85% (< 19% of the total) and was reduced by TLCM. Doubling times of attached cells were comparable in all experimental groups. Our results indicate that chondrocyte yields and capacity to attach and proliferate are not highly sensitive to the specific isolation protocol used. However, typically used cartilage digestion protocols yield only a small fraction of the total available cells, possibly introducing an uncontrolled selection of certain chondrocyte subpopulations.     

硝酸稀土促进布鲁氏菌生长试验

我们用硝酸稀土培养基做了猪种、羊种布鲁氏菌促进生长试验,结果表明,猪种布鲁氏菌菌体细胞每分裂一次其时间可提前22分钟,羊种布鲁氏菌则可提前12.7～17.5分钟,说明硝酸稀土有促进布鲁氏菌生长作用。     

COVID-19疫情下医院服务区分布与隔离点设置方法的初步探讨

目的 从空间设施布局优化的角度探讨疫情下的医院服务区分布与基于服务区设置集中隔离点的方法。 方法 基于Huff模型描绘了上海市三级医院的服务区空间分布;以最大化覆盖率为目标,采用位置分配模型预测医院选址的优化布局,设置潜在的候选位置。 结果 在上海市可收治病例的三级医院中,中心地区医院密度高;城乡医院服务区空间分布差异明显,郊区医院的服务区面积大;优化配置布局的结果显示,可在松江区中心新增1家医院,在浦东新区中间区域增加适量医院。 结论 结合医院服务区分布,隔离点可以设置于各街道中与所属医院相近的位置,明确出现病例时各个隔离点对应送往的医院。优化布局建议在松江区和浦东新区增加三级医院。

Evaluation of contact precautions discharges in an acute care setting

The health care environment is increasingly discussed as a source of health care-associated infections. We evaluated patterns of discharges among patients on contact precautions (CP) and assessed correlation of CP discharges with health care acquisition of organisms requiring CP and evaluated the feasibility of targeting CP discharges for additional monitoring.     

Health care worker opinions on use of isolation precautions in long-term care facilities

To address controversies surrounding contact isolation precautions in skilled nursing facilities (SNF), we surveyed 356 nurses and nurses' aides from 7 SNFs on their opinions regarding benefits and harms of contact isolation precautions. Whereas a majority of health care workers believed that contact isolation reduces transmission of antibiotic-resistant organisms, they were also concerned about potentially harmful consequences to the SNF residents including depression and isolation.
