    Abstract In the comet assay, tails are formed after single-cell gel electrophoresis if the cells have been exposed to genotoxic agents. These tails include a mixture of both DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) and double-strand breaks (DSBs). However, these two types of strand breaks cannot be distinguished using comet assay protocols with conventional DNA stains. Since DSBs are more problematic for the cells, it would be useful if the SSBs and DSBs could be differentially identified in the same comet. In order to be able to distinguish between SSBs and DSBs, we designed a protocol for polymerase-assisted DNA damage analysis (PADDA) to be used in combination with the Flash comet protocol, or on fixed cells. By using DNA polymerase I to label SSBs and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase to label DSBs with fluorophore-labelled nucleotides. Herein, TK6-cells or HaCat cells were exposed to either hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), ionising radiation (X-rays) or DNA cutting enzymes, and then subjected to a comet protocol followed by PADDA. PADDA offers a wider detection range, unveiling previously undetected DNA strand breaks.

    Abstract The mechanisms and clinical importance of pulsatile insulin release are presented against the background of more than half a century of companionship with the islets of Langerhans. The insulin-secreting beta-cells are oscillators with intrinsic variations of cytoplasmic ATP and Ca(2+). Within the islets the beta-cells are mutually entrained into a common rhythm by gap junctions and diffusible factors (ATP). Synchronization of the different islets in the pancreas is supposed to be due to adjustment of the oscillations to the same phase by neural output of acetylcholine and ATP. Studies of hormone secretion from the perfused pancreas of rats and mice revealed that glucose induces pulses of glucagon anti-synchronous with pulses of insulin and somatostatin. The anti-synchrony may result from a paracrine action of somatostatin on the glucagon-producing alpha-cells. Purinoceptors have a key function for pulsatile release of islet hormones. It was possible to remove the glucagon and somatostatin pulses with maintenance of those of insulin with an inhibitor of the P2Y(1) receptors. Knock-out of the adenosine A(1) receptor prolonged the pulses of glucagon and somatostatin without affecting the duration of the insulin pulses. Studies of isolated human islets indicate similar relations between pulses of insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin as found during perfusion of the rodent pancreas. The observation of reversed cycles of insulin and glucagon adds to the understanding how the islets regulate hepatic glucose production. Current protocols for pulsatile intravenous infusion therapy (PIVIT) should be modified to mimic the anti-synchrony between insulin and glucagon normally seen in the portal blood.

    Abstract We introduce a new concept in radioxenon detection - the radioxenon Array, defined as a system where air sampling and activity measurement is performed at multiple locations, using measurement units that are less sensitive, but on the other hand less costly, and easier to install and operate, compared to current state-of-the-art radioxenon systems. The inter-unit distance in the Array is typically hundreds of kilometres. Using synthetic nuclear explosions together with a parametrized measurement system model, we argue that, when such measurement units are combined into an Array, the aggregated verification performance (detection, location, and characterization) can be high. The concept has been realized by developing a measurement unit named SAUNA Q

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to explore how sulfonylurea blockade of KATP channels affects the early Ca signals for glucose generation of insulin release.
    Methods: Cytoplasmic Ca was measured with ratiometric microfluorometry in isolated mouse islets loaded with Fura-PE3.
    Results: After sulfonylurea blockade of the KATP channels (50 μM-1 mM tolbutamide or 1 μM-1 mM gliclazide), increase of glucose from 3 to 20 mM resulted in suppression of elevated Ca during a 3- to 5-minute period. The Ca decrease was shorter after inhibition of the Na/K pump with ouabain (10 and 100 μM) but prolonged when the α2A adrenoceptors were activated with clonidine (1 and 10 nM) or epinephrine (10 nM). Inhibition of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase pump with 10 μM cyclopiazonic acid counteracted the action of 10 nM clonidine, making the Ca decrease shorter than in controls. Extended superfusion of islets with a medium containing 20 mM glucose and 1 mM tolbutamide sometimes resulted in delayed appearance of Ca oscillations mediated by periodic interruption of elevated Ca.
    Conclusions: Increase of glucose generates prompt suppression of cytoplasmic Ca in β-cells lacking functional KATP channels. Activation of α2A adrenoceptors markedly prolongs the period of glucose-induced Ca decrease, an effect counteracted by cyclopiazonic acid.

    Abstract Recent evidence supports the implementation of massed delivery of disorder-specific treatments in the military service member and veteran population. However, many treatment settings serve patients with a wide range of diagnoses, and often patients present with comorbid conditions. Growing evidence suggests transdiagnostic cognitive behavioral treatments are effective for a wide range of emotional disorders and may reduce barriers to access. Little is known about the feasibility and outcomes of the massed delivery of transdiagnostic treatments. The present study examined real-world outcomes of a 2-week intensive outpatient program using the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders (UP-IOP). The sample included military service members and veterans diagnosed with a range of emotional disorders, namely trauma- and stressor-related disorders, unipolar depressive disorders, and anxiety disorders. The present study examined outcomes of UP-IOP (depression, trauma-related symptom severity, and emotion dysregulation). Participants included all patients who sought UP-IOP in its first 15 months of operation (

    Abstract Small and big mouse islets were compared with special reference to their content of glucagon-producing α-cells and somatostatin-producing δ-cells. Areas stained for glucagon and somatostatin were measured in the largest cross section of small (diameter < 60 μm) and big (diameter > 100 μm) islets. Comparison of the areas indicated proportionally more δ- than α-cells in the small islets. After isolation with collagenase these islets were practically devoid of α-cells. We evaluated the functional importance of the islet size by measuring the Ca(2+) signal for insulin release. A majority of the small islets responded to the hyperpolarization action of somatostatin with periodic decrease of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) when glucose was elevated after tolbutamide blockade of the KATP channels.

    Title translation Experiences from a multidisciplinary cardiogenetic clinic.
    Abstract Comprehensive genetic and clinical care of families with monogenic cardiovascular diseases requires competences from different medical specialties. Genetic assessment, cascade screening, risk estimation, treatment and follow-up is difficult to cover. Fourteen years ago, a center for cardiovascular diseases was created in our hospital, to improve the care of families with monogenic cardiovascular diseases. At our center, clinical geneticists, cardiologists, angiologists, pediatric cardiologists and genetic counselors work together in a seamless organization, while still having different clinic affiliations. A key feature of this organization are the family outpatient clinics, where the proband and his/her relatives at genetic risk are invited to take part. When the family or relatives live in other parts of the country, they are invited to participate through video conference.  In this paper we report our experiences and working routines from more than 300 families and 2000 individuals.
