    Abstract Two randomized crossover trials evaluated the effects of nicardipine constant rate infusion (CRI) on 1) the anesthetic potency of sevoflurane and 2) the ability to attenuate dexmedetomidine-induced cardiovascular depression in anesthetized dogs. First, six healthy Beagle dogs weighing 11.7 ± 0.9 kg were allocated to one of three treatments that administered a CRI of carrier (saline) or dexmedetomidine 0.5 or 3.0 μg/kg/h following a loading dose. The minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane was determined utilizing electric stimuli before and after the loading dose of nicardipine (20 μg/kg intravenously for 10 min), followed by CRI at 40 μg/kg/h with 60 min of equilibration. Subsequently, cardiovascular and blood gas variables were evaluated in another trial under sevoflurane anesthesia at the individual 1.5 MAC. After baseline measurements, the dogs were assigned to two treatments (dexmedetomidine CRI at 0.5 or 3.0 μg/kg/h following a loading dose) with sevoflurane doses adjusted to 1.5 times of MAC equivalent, and the measurements were repeated every 15 min for 120 min. After 60 min, nicardipine CRI at 40 μg/kg/h with a loading dose was added to the dexmedetomidine CRI. Dexmedetomidine infusions significantly decreased the sevoflurane MAC but nicardipine did not significantly alter the MAC either with or without dexmedetomidine CRI in dogs. Dexmedetomidine dose-dependently decreased the cardiac index and increased the systemic vascular resistance index; these effects were fully counteracted by concomitant nicardipine CRI. Nicardipine CRI can be useful for controlling the cardiovascular depression elicited by dexmedetomidine in anesthetized dogs without affecting the anesthetic potency of sevoflurane.

    Abstract The process of glycolysis breaks down glycogen stored in muscles, producing lactate through pyruvate to generate energy. Excess lactate is then released into the bloodstream. When lactate reaches the liver, it is converted to glucose, which muscles utilize as a substrate to generate ATP. Although the biochemical study of lactate metabolism in hepatocytes and skeletal muscle cells has been extensive, the spatial and temporal dynamics of this metabolism in live cells are still unknown. We observed the dynamics of metabolism-related molecules in primary cultured hepatocytes and a skeletal muscle cell line upon lactate overload. Our observations revealed an increase in cytoplasmic pyruvate concentration in hepatocytes, which led to glucose release. Skeletal muscle cells exhibited elevated levels of lactate and pyruvate levels in both the cytoplasm and mitochondrial matrix. However, mitochondrial ATP levels remained unaffected, indicating that the increased lactate can be converted to pyruvate but is unlikely to be utilized for ATP production. The findings suggest that excess lactate in skeletal muscle cells is taken up into mitochondria with little contribution to ATP production. Meanwhile, lactate released into the bloodstream can be converted to glucose in hepatocytes for subsequent utilization in skeletal muscle cells.

    Abstract Hepatocytes can switch their metabolic processes in response to nutrient availability. However, the dynamics of metabolites (such as lactate, pyruvate, and ATP) in hepatocytes during the metabolic switch remain unknown. In this study, we visualized metabolite dynamics in primary cultured hepatocytes during recovery from glucose-deprivation. We observed a decrease in the mitochondrial ATP concentration when glucose was administered to hepatocytes under glucose-deprivation conditions. In contrast, there was slight change in the cytoplasmic ATP concentration. A decrease in mitochondrial ATP concentration was associated with increased protein synthesis rather than glycogen synthesis, activation of urea cycle, and production of reactive oxygen species. These results suggest that mitochondrial ATP is important in switching metabolic processes in the hepatocytes.

    Abstract The interaction of the β-coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleocapsid (N) protein with genomic RNA is initiated by specific RNA regions and subsequently induces the formation of a continuous polymer with characteristic structural units for viral formation. We hypothesized that oligomeric RNAs, whose sequences are absent in the 29.9-kb genome sequence of SARS-CoV-2, might affect RNA-N protein interactions. We identified two such hexameric RNAs, In-1 (CCGGCG) and G6 (GGGGGG), and investigated their effects on the small filamentous/droplet-like structures (< a few μm) of N protein-genomic RNA formed by liquid-liquid phase separation. The small N protein structures were sequence-specifically enhanced by In-1, whereas G6 caused them to coalesce into large droplets. Moreover, we found that a guanosine 12-mer (G12, GGGGGGGGGGGG) expelled preexisting genomic RNA from the small N protein structures. The presence of G12 with the genomic RNA suppressed the formation of the small N protein structures, and alternatively apparently altered phase separation to induce the formation of large droplets with unclear phase boundaries. We showed that the N-terminal RNA-binding domain is required for the stability of the small N protein structures. Our results suggest that G12 may be a strong inhibitor of the RNA-N protein interaction.

    Abstract A transmissive optical system of a three-dimensional (3D) printer using the laser metal deposition (LMD) technique with a metal powder is proposed here, together with its design method. An f-number of the focused laser beam emitted from the optical system should be large enough for the laser beam not to be absorbed or reflected by the metal powder injection nozzle. On the other hand, owing to the Lagrange-Helmholtz relation, the f-number should be small enough to form a minute laser spot diameter for high-resolution building. A temperature rise induced by the high-power laser may cause damage or a thermal lens effect on the optical system, which can be reduced by using lenses having plano-surfaces contacting thermally with holders. A formula of the relationship of the thermal lens effect with an f-number of each lens is derived to determine the lens specifications. A formula of longitudinal spherical aberration (LSA) of these lenses is also derived, and the total LSA is shown to be able to be zero with an acceptable f-number of the focused laser beam. The prototype LMD 3D printer with 6 kW laser is fabricated and shows favorable properties, such as a minimum building width of 0.3 mm and a building speed of over 500 cc/h.

    Abstract Background: Few studies compare mood in tobacco cessation patients with mood in continuing smokers and then estimate the effects of a tobacco cessation program according to status of mood. We investigated whether mood in patients (n = 7) dependent on tobacco improved through the standard Japanese 12-week program for smoking cessation comparing smokers (n = 11) and nonsmokers (n = 16).
    Methods: A brief Japanese version of the short profile of mood states (POMS) was used in this study. The subscale includes 5 negative mood factors (tension-anxiety, depression, anger-hostility, fatigue and confusion-bewilderment) and positive mood factors (vigor-activity). We also examined expiratory CO concentration (ppm), percentage of COHb, urinary nicotine and its metabolite concentration, Brinkman index, and tobacco dependence score (TDS) for both smoking cessation group and smokers group.
    Results: All the short profiles for mood state points in nonsmokers were below 50. Two of TDS items in smoking cessation patients were significantly higher in percentage than those in smokers. Brinkman indices and expiratory CO concentration were significantly higher in smoking cessation patients than those in smokers. The rate of improvement in tension-anxiety points in smoking cessation patients was significantly higher than that in smokers.
    Conclusion: Counseling according to the standard program in the treatment of tobacco dependence may be an effective procedure to improve mood status.
