    Abstract The venoarteriolar reflex is a local mechanism that induces vasoconstriction during venous congestion in various tissues, including skin. This response is thought to play a critical role in minimizing capillary damage or edema resulting from overperfusion, though factors that modulate this response remain largely unknown. Here, we hypothesized that nitric oxide synthase (NOS), cyclooxygenase (COX), and Ca

    Abstract After removal of the fast N-type inactivation gate, voltage-sensitive Shaker (Shaker IR) K channels are still able to inactivate, albeit slowly, upon sustained depolarization. The classical mechanism proposed for the slow inactivation observed in cell-free membrane patches--the so called C inactivation--is a constriction of the external mouth of the channel pore that prevents K(+) ion conduction. This constriction is antagonized by the external application of the pore blocker tetraethylammonium (TEA). In contrast to C inactivation, here we show that, when recorded in whole Xenopus oocytes, slow inactivation kinetics in Shaker IR K channels is poorly dependent on external TEA but severely delayed by internal TEA. Based on the antagonism with internally or externally added TEA, we used a two-pulse protocol to show that half of the channels inactivate by way of a gate sensitive to internal TEA. Such gate had a recovery time course in the tens of milliseconds range when the interpulse voltage was -90 mV, whereas C-inactivated channels took several seconds to recover. Internal TEA also reduced gating charge conversion associated to slow inactivation, suggesting that the closing of the internal TEA-sensitive inactivation gate could be associated with a significant amount of charge exchange of this type. We interpreted our data assuming that binding of internal TEA antagonized with U-type inactivation (Klemic, K.G., G.E. Kirsch, and S.W. Jones. 2001. Biophys. J. 81:814-826). Our results are consistent with a direct steric interference of internal TEA with an internally located slow inactivation gate as a "foot in the door" mechanism, implying a significant functional overlap between the gate of the internal TEA-sensitive slow inactivation and the primary activation gate. But, because U-type inactivation is reduced by channel opening, trapping the channel in the open conformation by TEA would also yield to an allosteric delay of slow inactivation. These results provide a framework to explain why constitutively C-inactivated channels exhibit gating charge conversion, and why mutations at the internal exit of the pore, such as those associated to episodic ataxia type I in hKv1.1, cause severe changes in inactivation kinetics.

    Abstract New findings: What is the central question of this study? It remains unknown whether ageing modulates prostacyclin-induced cutaneous vasodilatation in women. What is the main finding and its importance? Prostacyclin induced cutaneous vasodilatation, albeit the magnitude of increase at lower concentrations of prostacyclin was greater in older relative to young women. This response was associated with greater contributions of nitric oxide synthase and calcium-activated potassium channels. Our results suggest that administration of prostacyclin might be an effective therapy to reverse microvascular hypoperfusion, especially in older women. We previously reported that prostacyclin induces cutaneous vasodilatation but not sweating in younger and older men. Furthermore, we demonstrated that nitric oxide synthase and calcium-activated potassium (K

    Abstract Time-resolved fluorescence of 2-aminopurine-labeled DNA duplexes at 77 K reveals the relationship between base dynamics and the conformational heterogeneity that results in the well-known multiexponential fluorescence decay at room temperature. The conformation that exhibits rapid interbase charge transfer at room temperature is not populated in the frozen duplex at 77 K; this geometry is accessed by thermal motion of the bases, it is not a minimum energy structure of the duplex. Three photophysically distinct conformational states persist in the frozen duplex; these are minimum energy structures and do not interconvert at room temperature on the time scale of the 2-aminopurine excited-state lifetime.

    Abstract Acetylcholine released from cholinergic nerves is involved in heat loss responses of cutaneous vasodilation and sweating. K(+) channels are thought to play a role in regulating cholinergic cutaneous vasodilation and sweating, though which K(+) channels are involved in their regulation remains unclear. We evaluated the hypotheses that 1) Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (KCa), ATP-sensitive K(+) (KATP), and voltage-gated K(+) (KV) channels all contribute to cholinergic cutaneous vasodilation; and 2) KV channels, but not KCa and KATP channels, contribute to cholinergic sweating. In 13 young adults (24 ± 5 years), cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) and sweat rate were evaluated at intradermal microdialysis sites that were continuously perfused with: 1) lactated Ringer (Control), 2) 50 mM tetraethylammonium (KCa channel blocker), 3) 5 mM glybenclamide (KATP channel blocker), and 4) 10 mM 4-aminopyridine (KV channel blocker). At all sites, cholinergic cutaneous vasodilation and sweating were induced by coadministration of methacholine (0.0125, 0.25, 5, 100, and 2,000 mM, each for 25 min). The methacholine-induced increase in CVC was lower with the KCa channel blocker relative to Control at 0.0125 (1 ± 1 vs. 9 ± 6%max) and 5 (2 ± 5 vs. 17 ± 14%max) mM methacholine, whereas it was lower in the presence of KATP (69 ± 7%max) and KV (57 ± 14%max) channel blocker compared with Control (79 ± 6%max) at 100 mM methacholine. Furthermore, methacholine-induced sweating was lower at the KV channel blocker site (0.42 ± 0.17 mg·min(-1)·cm(-2)) compared with Control (0.58 ± 0.15 mg·min(-1)·cm(-2)) at 2,000 mM methacholine. In conclusion, we show that KCa, KATP, and KV channels play a role in cholinergic cutaneous vasodilation, whereas only KV channels contribute to cholinergic sweating in normothermic resting humans.

    Abstract We present experimental results on fast-electron energy deposition into solid targets in ultrahigh intensity laser-matter interaction. X-ray K alpha emission spectroscopy with absolute photon counting served to diagnose fast-electron propagation in multilayered targets. Target heating was measured from ionization-shifted K alpha emission. Data show a 200 microm fast-electron range in solid Al. The relative intensities of spectrally shifted Al K alpha lines imply a mean temperature of a few tens of eV up to a 100 microm depth. Experimental results suggest refluxing of the electron beam at target rear side. They were compared with the predictions of both a collisional Monte Carlo and a collisional-electromagnetic, particle-fluid transport code. The validity of the code modeling of heating in such highly transient conditions is discussed.

    Abstract Background: Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are associated with adverse effects and increasing resistance. However, uncomplicated cystitis remains a frequent reason for FQ use. Selective reporting involves withholding susceptibilities for select antimicrobial agents on microbiology reports, in hopes of dissuading use by providers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of FQ susceptibility suppression on discharge prescribing for hospitalized patients with uncomplicated cystitis.
    Methods: This retrospective quasi-experimental analysis was conducted among adult patients at a 350-bed academic medical center. Its aim was to compare the incidence of FQ prescribing for cystitis at hospital discharge, one year before and after implementation (1 March 2017-31 March 2019) of a policy to suppress FQ urinary susceptibility results for pansusceptible
    Results: There was a relative risk reduction of 39% in discharge FQ prescribing when adjusted for discharge team (adjusted risk ratio, 0.61; 95% CI, .40-.93). Almost all FQ use was inappropriate, largely due to organisms' susceptibility to a guideline-preferred agent (n = 61). In multivariate analysis, odds ratios of discharge FQ prescribing were 0.22 (95% CI, .12-.39) for insured patients, 0.43 (95% CI, .21-.86) for patients with antibiotic allergy, and 57.8 (95% CI, 13.7-244) for those receiving inpatient FQ. Discharge from a medicine team was protective against discharge FQ prescribing.
    Conclusions: With multidisciplinary inpatient medicine services and avoidance of inpatient FQ use, suppression of FQ susceptibilities on pansusceptible urine isolates for
