  3. Article: Acetylcholine activates nonselective cation channels in guinea pig ileum through a G protein.

    Inoue, R / Isenberg, G

    Abstract Acetylcholine (ACh) depolarizes the membrane of mammalian intestinal myocytes by activating a nonselective cation channel (G. D. Benham, T. B. Bolton, and R. J. Lang. Nature Lond. 316: 345-347, 1985; R. Inoue, K. Kitamura, and H. Kuriyama. Pfluegers Arch. 410: 69-74, 1987). Here, we present evidence that occupation of the muscarinic receptor by ACh couples to channel activation via a G protein; the coupling can be blocked by pertussis toxin or by intracellular guanosine 5'-O-(2-thio-diphosphate) (GDP beta S), whereas intracellular guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) activates the channel in the absence of ACh. The currents, activated by either ACh or GTP gamma S, are nonadditive, conduct sodium ions, and are similar in their voltage dependence and facilitation by submicromolar calcium ions in the cytosol.

    Abstract Approximately 5% of all gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding originates from the small bowel. Endoscopic therapy of small bowel bleeding should only be undertaken after consideration of the different options, and the risks, benefits, and alternatives of each option. Endoscopic therapy options for small bowel bleeding are like those treatments used for other forms of bleeding in the upper and lower GI tract. Available endoscopic treatment options include thermal therapy (eg, argon plasma coagulation and bipolar cautery), mechanical therapy (eg, hemoclips), and medical therapy (eg, diluted epinephrine injection). Patients with complicated comorbidities would benefit from evaluation and planning of available treatment options, including conservative and/or medical treatments, beyond endoscopic therapy.

    Abstract Objectives: To develop and test the direct and indirect associations between caregiver distress and its many contributing factors and covariates.
    Design: Analysis using data from a national, cross-sectional survey of Canadian caregivers.
    Setting and participants: A total of 6502 respondents of the 2012 General Social Survey-Caregiving and Care-receiving who self-identified as a caregiver.
    Methods: We used exploratory structural equation modeling to achieve our aims. Based on literature review, we hypothesized a structural model of 5 caregiving factors that contribute to distress: caregiving burden, caregiving network and support, disruptions of family and social life, positive emotional experiences, and caregiving history. Survey items hypothesized to measure each latent factor were modeled using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). After establishing a well-fit EFA model, structural equation modeling was performed to examine the relationships between caregiving factors and caregiver distress while controlling for covariates such as caregiver's and care-recipient's sociodemographic characteristics and kinship.
    Results: EFA established a well-fit model that represented caregiver distress and its 5 contributing factors as hypothesized. Although all 5 had significant effects on caregiver distress, disruptions of family and social life contributed the most (β = 0.462), almost 3 times that of caregiving burden (β = 0.162). Positive emotional experiences also substantially reduced distress (β = -0.310).
    Conclusions and implications: Understanding the multifaceted nature of caregiver distress is crucial for developing effective strategies to support caregivers. In addition to reducing caregiving burden, having flexible resources and policies to minimize disruptions to caregivers' families (eg, flexible work policies; family-oriented education, training, and counseling) and enhance the positive aspects of caregiving may more effectively reduce distress.

    Abstract The phylogeny and patterns of nucleotide substitutions in the visual pigment genes, adrenergic receptor genes, muscarinic receptor genes, and in the human mas oncogene were studied by comparing their DNA sequences. The evolutionary tree obtained shows that the visual pigment genes and mas oncogene form one cluster and that the receptor genes form another. In the evolution of rhodopsin genes, synonymous substitutions outnumber nonsynonymous substitutions. This is consistent with the neutral theory of molecular evolution. However, the early evolutionary stages of alpha- and beta-adrenergic and muscarinic receptors are notable for significantly more nonsynonymous substitutions than synonymous substitutions, suggesting the acquisition of novel functional adaptations. Variable rates of nonsynonymous changes in different domains of these proteins reveal DNA segments that might have been important in their functional adaptations.

    Abstract Background and aims: Small bowel gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is associated with multiple blood transfusions, prolonged and/or multiple hospital admissions, utilization of significant healthcare resources, and negative effects on patient quality of life. There is a well-recognized association between antithrombotic medications and small bowel GIB. We aimed to identify the diagnostic yield of small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in patients on antithrombotic medications and the impact of SBCE on treatment course.
    Methods: The electronic medical records of nineteen hundred eighty-six patients undergoing SBCE were retrospectively reviewed.
    Results: The diagnostic yield for detecting stigmata of recent bleeding and/or actively bleeding lesions in SBCE was higher in patients that were on antiplatelet agents (21.6%), patients on anticoagulation (22.5%), and in patients that had their SBCE performed while they were inpatient (21.8%), when compared to the patients not on antiplatelet agents (12.1%), patients not on anticoagulation (13.5%), and with patients that had their SBCE performed in the outpatient setting (12%). Of 318 patients who had stigmata of recent bleeding and/or actively bleeding lesion(s) identified on SBCE, SBCE findings prompted endoscopic evaluation (small bowel enteroscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), and/or colonoscopy) in 25.2%, with endoscopic hemostasis attempted in 52.5%.
    Conclusions: Our study, the largest conducted to date, emphasizes the importance of performing SBCE as part of the evaluation for suspected small bowel bleeding, particularly in patients taking antithrombotic therapy, and especially during their inpatient hospital stay.

    Abstract This study analyzed the distribution of an idiotype, B3-Id, in patients with active SLE, classified according to organ involvement, normal controls, and other autoimmune rheumatic diseases. A polyclonal anti-idiotype was raised by immunizing a rabbit with a monoclonal IgG anti-double-stranded (ds) DNA antibody, B3, generated from a patient with SLE who had active arthritis. The idiotype is present on the lambda chain and is at or near the binding site for double-stranded DNA. The lambda chain, which was characterized by nucleotide sequencing, was 90% homologous to the V lambda 2.1 germline, which is known to be involved in coding for nephritogenic anti-DNA antibodies carrying the 8.12 idiotype. There were four changes to positively charged amino acids, known to be involved in DNA binding, in the complementarity determining regions of B3 lambda chain compared with a non-DNA binding, 8.12 positive antibody, PV11. Only one change to a positively charged amino acid occurs in the heavy chain of B3, which is 93.5% homologous to VH-26. The B3-Id was present on IgG antibodies in the serum of 20% of patients with SLE but was not found in the normal controls. Within the SLE group, there is a statistically significant association of B3-Id on IgG in the arthritis group (42%) compared to the other manifestations (9%) (P < 0.001). In four B3-Id-positive SLE patients tested serially, the level of B3-Id reflected the arthritis disease activity more closely than the overall disease activity (P < 0.05). The B3-Id was also present on IgM antibodies in one third of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This idiotype is the first to be derived from a human monoclonal anti-DNA antibody of the IgG class, the isotype associated with active disease. Sequence analysis shows that positively charged amino acids on the lambda chain may contribute to DNA binding.
