Morphological and functional demonstration of rat dura mater mast cell-neuron interactions in vitro and in vivo

The effects of changes in temperature on primary and secondary endings of isolated cat muscle spindles were investigated under ramp-and-hold stretches and different degrees of pre-stretch. Temperature-induced alterations of the discharge frequency were compared over a temperature range of 25–35°C. Both primary and secondary endings responded to warming with increasing discharge frequencies when the spindle was pre-stretched by 5–10% of its in situ length. The following differences between the temperature effects on primary and secondary endings were observed: (1) The temperature coefficients (Q₁₀) obtained from the discharge frequencies during the dynamic and static phase of a stretch were similar for endings of the same type, but they were larger in primary endings (range of Q₁₀: 2.3–3.3; mean: 2.9) than in secondary endings (range of Q₁₀: 1.6–2.2; mean: 2.0); (2) With primary endings, but not with secondary endings, the temperature sensitivity (imp s⁻¹ °C⁻¹) was larger during the dynamic phase than during the static phase of a stretch; (3) In primary endings, the fast and slow adaptive components occurring in the discharge frequency during the static phase of a stretch clearly increased with warming while in secondary endings, the slow decay was less affected, and the fast decay showed no change; (4) In relaxed spindles, the excitatory effect of warming was overlaid by a strong inhibitory effect as soon as the temperature exceeded about 30°C, resulting in an abrupt cessation of the background activity in most secondary endings, but not usually in primary endings. In general, warming induced an enhanced stretch sensitivity in both types of ending, and additionally an inhibitory effect that is obvious only in secondary endings of relaxed spindles. The different effects of temperature on the discharge frequency of primary and secondary afferents are assumed to be caused by different properties of their sensory membranes.

Adverse drug events in hospitalized patients A comparison of doctors, nurses and patients as sources of reports

Objective: This study investigated the relative value of adverse drug events reported by doctors, nurses and patients. Methods: The study was conducted on a total of four wards: the paediatric and internal medicine wards (including geriatric patients) of two peripheral hospitals in the Netherlands. Adverse drug events were collected by spontaneous reporting (doctor and nurse reports) and by daily ward visits, during which the patients were interviewed by a hospital pharmacist (patient reports). Criteria for relative value of the reported adverse drug events were the number of potentially serious reactions, the number of reactions not mentioned in the patient information leaflet and the number of reactions reported to new drugs (5 years or less on the Dutch market). No formal causality assessment was applied. Results: Over a period of 2 months in 1996 (Hospital I) and 2 months in 1997 (Hospital II) a total of 620 patients were included in the study and adverse drug events were reported in 179 (29%) of these cases. Doctors reported a statistically significant larger number of serious (26% of all doctor reports; odds ratio (OR) 3.2; confidence interval (CI) 1.2–8.7) and unknown (39%; OR 2.5; CI 1.0–6.0) adverse drug events than patients themselves during the daily ward visit. Doctors also reported more serious and unknown adverse drug events than nurses. Adverse reactions to new drugs were reported during the daily ward visit only (8% of all daily ward visit reports). Conclusion: This study reconfirms that doctors are the main source for reports of serious and unknown adverse drug events in hospitalized patients. However, patients themselves seem to report more adverse reactions to new drugs (during the daily ward visit). By focusing on patients using new drugs, the daily ward visit might become cost-effective. This needs to be explored in future studies.

Retrospective prediction of birth weight by growth velocity curves during neonatal period

In this prospective study, birth weight of 304 babies born at Kamla Nehru Hospital Pune during study period was recorded. From these 304 babies, babies with birth weight above 2000 grams were selected (260 babies) to prepare growth velocity curves. Daily weight of these 260 babies was recorded for 30 days. The mean birth weight of study population was 2742.5 grams. Among the daily weight recorded babies, all the babies lost weight ranging from 92 to 218 grams (mean 121 grams) after birth. The weight loss continued upto 5 days. Days required to gain weight equal to birth weight ranged from 5 to 13 days. Total weight gain observed in 30 days was 734.7 grams. Predictive value of these curves was tested in 49 infants. Deviation upto 50 grams of predicted birth weight from actual birth weight was observed in 90% of babies on day-2, 79% on day-4, 65% on day-8 and 39% on day-30.     

Amino Acid Side-Chain Contributions to Free Energy of Transfer of Tripeptides from Water to Octanol

The location of amino acids in soluble or membrane proteins is related to the hydrophobicity of the side chains. Amino acid hydrophobicity values are based upon the thermodynamics of transfer from an aqueous to a nonaqueous environment. However, for certain hydrophilic residues uncertainty exists on the appropriate hydrophobicity values. We have measured the octanol- water partition coefficients (P _o/w) of tripeptides of the sequence N-14-C-acetyl-Ala-JT-Ala-NH-tButyl (AcAlaXAlaNHtButyl), where the central residue X was either Gly , Ala, Phe, Trp, Pro, His, Asp, or Glu. The P _o/w for the tripeptides agreed reasonably well with values calculated by the fragment method of D. J. Abraham and A. J. Leo (Proteins Struct. Func. Gen. 2, 130–152, 1987). The log P _o/w of the uncharged form was 1.6,2.7, and 2.5 greater than the log P _o/w of the ionized form for the His, Asp, and Glu peptide, respectively. The new data on the pH dependence of the ionizable side chains, His, Asp, and Glu, should result in better prediction of the partition coefficient of peptides as a function of pH. The thermodynamic parameters were determined from the temperature dependence of partitioning. In the temperature range studied (2 to 65°C) the transfer of tripeptides from water to octanol was entropy governed except for the ionized peptides. A heat capacity term was necessary to account for the transfer of tripeptides containing non polar residues. The heat capacity change for transfer from water into octanol was –45, –73, –81, and –88 cal/mol K for Ala, Phe, Trp, and Pro peptides, respectively. Peptides containing Gly, His (pH 7.2), and the uncharged forms of Asp, Glu, and His did not show a significant change in heat capacity. The side-chain contribution of the central residue X (G _X) to the free energy of transfer was obtained from the difference between the free energy o f transfer of the peptide containing the central residue X and the Gly peptide; G _X = G _{(AcAlaGlyAlaNHtButyl)} - G _{(AcAlaGlyAlaNHtButyl)}. The relative order of hydrophobicity of the side chains correlated well with previous studies. However, a significant difference was found for the absolute hydrophobicity between the present study and experimental data on N-acetyl amino acid amide derivatives (J. Fauchere and V. Pliska, Eur. J. Med. Chem. 18(4), 369–375, 1983). The G _X values at pH 7.2 were 0, –0.13, –2.19, –2.52,–0.29, –0.16, 3.50, and 3.12 kcal/mol for Gly, Ala, Phe, Trp, Pro, His, Asp, and Glu, respectively. These hydrophobicity values in a tripeptide environment provide suggested values for a hydrophobicity scale.
