    Abstract Potassium ion channels control K+ permeation across cell membranes and mutations that cause cardiovascular and neural diseases are known. Here, the authors perform NMR measurements with the prototypical K+ channel from Streptomyces lividans, KcsA and characterise the effects of disease causing mutations on the conformational dynamics of K+ channels in a physiological solution environment.

    Abstract An etoposide-resistant K562 cell line (K/eto) was obtained by stepwise exposure, in culture, to increasing concentrations of etoposide, without the use of mutagens. This cell line was resistant to etoposide, and slightly resistant to adriamycin, but sensitive to anti-cancer drugs such as camptothecin, vincristine, actinomycin D and so on. P-Glycoprotein, the mdr1 gene product, was not detected in this cell line, as assessed by immunocytochemistry, immunoprecipitation and flow cytometry. Overexpression of mdr1 mRNA was also not found. Interestingly, expression of 85 kD protein recognized by MRK 20 monoclonal antibody was noted. The level of DNA topoisomerase II protein, detected by antibody staining, decreased concomitantly with a general decrease in DNA topoisomerase II unknotting activity, while DNA topoisomerase I activity was not affected. Cellular accumulation of [3H]etoposide was reduced by 75% in the resistant line compared with parental K562. Karyotype analysis showed that the number of chromosomes in K/eto was 55 and neither a homogeneous staining region nor double-minute chromosomes were detected. These results indicate that this resistance is not due to an altered interaction between the drug and cellular transport machinery, i.e. MDR1, associated with the "classic" multiple drug resistance phenotype, but rather is due to the existence of other mechanism(s) of resistance, decreased transport of the drug and decreased target enzyme, DNA topoisomerase II.

    Abstract This study evaluated the long-term visual outcomes of patients in whom at least one eye underwent successful lens-sparing vitrectomy (LSV) for stage 4A retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). A retrospective chart review was conducted using the data of 61 eyes of 42 patients with a minimum 4-year follow-up after successful LSV, with or without anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy, and whose best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measurable using Landolt rings at the final visit. The mean age at the final follow-up was 10.1 ± 3.3 years. Before LSV, all eyes underwent laser ablation therapy. Twenty eyes (32.8%) with high vascular activity received anti-VEGF therapy before LSV. The mean decimal BCVA at the final follow-up was 0.23 ± 0.26 (range: hand motion to 1.2). Twenty-three eyes (54.1%) had a decimal BCVA of ≥0.4. Among 49 phakic eyes at the final examination, the mean refractive error was -10.1 ± 5.0 D, with 37 eyes (75.5%) having high myopia (>-6.0 D). No significant differences were observed in terms of decimal BCVA and refractive errors between eyes with and without anti-VEGF therapy. Approximately half of the patients had a decimal BCVA of ≥0.4, despite myopic refraction after successful LSV for stage 4A ROP. LSV for stage 4A ROP seemed to be associated with good visual function, despite myopic refraction.

    Abstract Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in cardiac intensive care units (CICUs), even in the contemporary era.
    Main text: Although mechanical circulatory supports have recently become widely available and used in transforming the management of CS, their routine use to improve outcomes has not been established. Transportation to a high-volume center, early reperfusion, tailored mechanical circulatory supports, regionalized systems of care with multidisciplinary CS teams, a dedicated CICU, and a systemic approach, including preventing noncardiogenic complications, are the key components of CS treatment strategies.
    Conclusions: This narrative review aimed to discuss the challenges of preventing patients from developing CS-related complications and provide a comprehensive practical approach for its management.

    Abstract We investigated whether a combined program for heat disorder prevention can improve the behaviors and knowledge of heat disorder prevention in older adults participating in salons. This non-randomized parallel-group comparison study includes 59 participants from two salons. The intervention group met on alternate weeks on a salon day to watch an educational DVD and conduct hands-on education (Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) measurements inside and outside the meeting place). The intervention group conducted calls every other week except salon week to prevent action for heat disorder prevention information based on a leaflet and monitored WBGT in their bedrooms daily at bedtime. We assessed changes in recognition of heat disorders and prevention behavior between baseline, one and a half months after intervention, and post-season (approximately two months after baseline), using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Recognition of heat disorder scores and preventive behavior improved from pre- to post-season in the intervention group. It was suggested that the approach toward older adults participating in salons could improve their recognition and behavior in preventing heat disorders.

    Abstract K-252a, an indole carbazol compound of microbial origin, inhibited activation of bovine brain phosphodiesterase induced by calmodulin (CaM), sodium oleate, or limited proteolysis with almost equal potency. Kinetic analysis revealed that the CaM-activated phosphodiesterase (CaM-PDE) was competitively inhibited by K-252a with respect to CaM. On the other hand, inhibition of the trypsin-activated phosphodiesterase was competitive with respect to cyclic AMP. Addition of a lower amount of phosphatidylserine or sodium oleate to the reaction medium was efficacious in attenuating the inhibition of the CaM-PDE by W-7, compound 48/80, or calmidazolium but, in contrast, had no effect on the inhibition by K-252a. Furthermore, CaM-independent systems such as [3H]nitrendipine receptor binding or Na+ + K+-ATPase were influenced less by K-252a compared with W-7, compound 48/80 and calmidazolium. In conclusion, K-252a is an inhibitor of CaM-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase and it appears that it inhibits the enzyme not only via CaM antagonism but possibly also by interfering with the enzyme.
