  3. Article: Actions of epinephrine on the contractility of fast and slow skeletal muscle fibres in teleosts.

    Johnson, T P / Moon, T W / Johnston, I A

    Abstract Fast and slow muscle fibers were isolated from the myotomes of atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) and sculpin (Myoxocephalus scorpius L.). Epinephrine was found to have no effect on twitch or sub-tetanic contractions in fast muscle fibres. Isoprenaline (10(-6)M) had no effect on the contractility of slow muscle fibres. In contrast, epinephrine elicited a dose-dependent decrease in the half-time for twitch relaxation (t1/2r), and in most cases a decrease in twitch amplitude. The maximum decrease in t1/2r was around 5-20% of control values (at 10(-6)M epinephrine), with a half maximal response at about 30 nmol l(-1). Responses to epinephrine were unaffected by propranolol and reversed by phentolamine, consistent with the stimulation of α-adrenoreceptors. 10(-6)M epinephrine produced a rise in cAMP levels from 1.8 to 3.1 pmol mg dry wt(-1) in cod slow fibres. However, the cellular mechanism underlying the action of epinephrine is unclear since forskolin, a potent activator of adenylate cyclase activity, where it has been investigated, was found to increase not decrease twitch duration and amplitude. The responses of fast and slow fibres to epinephrine and its antagonists were similar in summer (13°C) and winter acclimatized (5-6°C) sculpin.It is suggested that epinephrine may act to modulate the active state of slow muscle fibres at high cruising speeds and thereby increase swimming performance.

    Abstract Aims: Little is known about the potential health impact of police encounters despite a ubiquitous police presence in many disadvantaged urban environments. In this paper, we assess whether persistent or aggressive interactions with the police are associated with poor mental health outcomes in a sample of primarily low-income communities of colour in Chicago.
    Methods: Between March 2015 and September 2016, we surveyed 1543 adults in ten diverse Chicago communities using a multistage probability design. The survey had over 350 questions on health and social factors, including police exposure and mental health status. We use sex-stratified logistic regression to examine associations between persistent police exposure (defined as a high number of lifetime police stops) or aggressive police exposure (defined as threat or use of police force during the respondent's most recent police stop) and the presence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depressive symptoms.
    Results: Men reporting a high number of lifetime police stops have three times greater odds of current PTSD symptoms compared with men who did not report high lifetime police stops (OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.3-7.6), after adjusting for respondent age, race/ethnicity, education, history of homelessness, prior diagnosis of PTSD and neighbourhood violent crime rate. Women reporting a high number of lifetime police stops have two times greater odds of current PTSD symptoms, although the results are not statistically significant after adjustment (OR 2.0, 95% CI 0.9-4.2). Neither persistent nor aggressive police exposure is significantly associated with current depressive symptoms in our sample.
    Conclusions: Our findings support existing preliminary evidence of an association between high lifetime police stops and PTSD symptoms. If future research can confirm as causal, these results have considerable public health implications given the frequent interaction between police and residents in disadvantaged communities in large urban areas.

    Abstract This paper provides a brief introduction to current research concerned with alcohol and drug use, misuse, and treatment among displaced persons, including immigrants, refugees, and homeless individuals. Among the topics examined are theoretical issues related to our understanding of substance use processes among displaced populations, methodological considerations, and directions for future research. The review is followed by an annotated bibliography of recent work related to this topic.

    Abstract The stress-strain behavior of cortical bone is well known to be strain-rate dependent, exhibiting both viscoelastic and viscoplastic behavior. Viscoelasticity has been demonstrated in literature data with initial modulus increasing by more than a factor of 2 as applied strain rate is increased from 0.001 to 1500 s(-1). A strong dependence of yield on strain rate has also been reported in the literature, with the yield stress at 250 s(-1) having been observed to be more than twice that at 0.001 s(-1), demonstrating the material viscoplasticity. Constitutive models which capture this rate-dependent behavior from very low to very high strain rates are required in order to model and simulate the full range of loading conditions which may be experienced in vivo; particularly those involving impact, ballistic and blast events. This paper proposes a new viscoelastic, viscoplastic constitutive model which has been developed to meet these requirements. The model is fitted to three sets of stress-strain measurements from the literature and shown to be valid at strain rates ranging over seven orders of magnitude.
