Mechanisms underlying hypothermia-induced cardiac contractile dysfunction.
Rewarming patients after profound hypothermia may result in acute heart failure and high mortality (50-80%). However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are largely unknown. We characterized cardiac contractile function in the temperature range of 15-30 degrees C by measuring the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and twitch force in intact left ventricular rat papillary...
متن کاملCellular mechanisms of contractile dysfunction in human heart failure.
Numerous cellular abnormalities of heart muscle are associated with ventricular dysfunction and the clinical syndrome of heart failure. Many of these changes have been described in animal models of heart failure where there is considerable species and model variation''. The increasing use of cardiac transplantation has provided access to fresh myocardial tissue from severely failing human heart...
متن کاملCellular mechanisms of contractile dysfunction in hibernating myocardium.
Ischemic heart disease is a leading cause of chronic heart failure. Hibernation (ie, a chronic reduction of myocardial contractility distal to a severe coronary stenosis and reversible on revascularization) is an important contributing factor. The underlying cellular mechanisms remain however poorly understood. In young pigs (n=13, ISCH), an acquired coronary stenosis >90% (4 to 6 weeks) result...
متن کاملMechanochemical Coupling in Flagella
The relation between oxygen consumption and motility of Ciona spermatozoa has been measured by using pH stats to measure the acid production of spermatozoa swimming in dilute suspensions where their motility can be analyzed accurately, and calibrating the acid production by measuring it simultaneously with measurements of oxygen consumption, using more concentrated sperm suspensions. When the m...
متن کاملChlamydomonas Flagella
Methods were developed for the isolation of Chlamydomonas flagella and for their fractionation into membrane, mastigoneme, "matrix," and axoneme components. Each component was studied by electron microscopy and acrylamide gel electrophoresis. Purified membranes retained their tripartite ultrastructure and were shown to contain one high molecular weight protein band on electrophoresis in sodium ...
