Over the past two decades, changes in the health services designed to improve access to and quality of asthma care have occurred in South Africa. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of fatal and near-fatal asthma (NFA) from 1980-1997 in an urban part of South Africa. A retrospective analysis of fatal asthma and NFA in the Cape Town City Council area was performed. Mortality d...
Niflumic acid [2-((3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)amino)-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid, NFA] is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that also blocks or modulates the gating of a wide spectrum of ion channels. Here we investigated the mechanism of channel activation by NFA on ether-a-go-go-related gene (ERG) K(+) channel subtypes expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes using two-electrode voltage-clamp tec...
Burt, Richard P. Phasic contractions of the rat portal vein depend on intracellular Ca2 release stimulated by depolarization. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 284: H1808–H1817, 2003; 10.1152/ajpheart.00637.2002.—The phasic contraction to phenylephrine of the rat isolated portal vein was investigated using functional studies. Phasic contractions to phenylephrine and caffeine could be produced aft...
Norepinephrine (NE) increases Cl- efflux from vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells. An increase in Cl- conductance produces membrane depolarization. We hypothesized that if Cl- currents are important for agonist-induced depolarization, then interfering with cellular Cl- handling should alter contractility. Isometric contraction of rat aortic rings was studied in a bicarbonate buffer. Substitution...
CLC-K Cl(-) channels are selectively expressed in kidney and ear, where they are pivotal for salt homeostasis, and loss-of-function mutations of CLC-Kb produce Bartter's syndrome type III. The only ligand known for CLC-K channels is a derivative of the 2-p-chlorophenoxypropionic acid (CPP), 3-phenyl-CPP, which blocks CLC-Ka, but not CLC-Kb. Here we show that in addition to this blocking site, C...
CLC-K chloride channels are expressed in the kidney, where they play a pivotal role in the mechanisms of urine concentration and Na(+) reabsorption. The identification of barttin as an essential beta-subunit of CLC-K channels allowed performance of a pharmacologic characterization of wild-type CLC-K1 expressed in Xenopus oocytes. To this end, a series of 2-(p-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid (CPP) ...
Mechanical strain applied to prostate cancer cells induced an intracellular Ca(2+) (Ca(i)(2+)) wave spreading with a velocity of 15 microm/s. Ca(i)(2+) waves were not dependent on extracellular Ca(2+) and membrane potential because propagation was unaffected in high-K(+) and Ca(2+)-free solution. Waves did not depend on the cytoskeleton or gap junctions because cytochalasin B and nocodazole, wh...
Administration of antibiotics and analgesics in surgery or trauma is of great importance for an effective treatment. Trauma, as stress stimulus, causes alterations in various functions of the organism as well as in drug pharmacokinetics. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of trauma upon the serum and bone levels of the antimicrobial ampicillin and cefapirin, with and without co-a...
In neuroendocrine cells, hormone release often requires a collective burst of action potentials synchronized by gap junctions. This is the case for the electrically coupled bag cell neurons in the reproductive system of the marine snail, Aplysia californica. These neuroendocrine cells are found in two clusters, and fire a synchronous burst, called the afterdischarge, resulting in neuropeptide s...
We investigated the dependence of ANG II (10(-8) M)-induced constriction of outer medullary descending vasa recta (OMDVR) on membrane potential (Psim) and chloride ion. ANG II depolarized OMDVR, as measured by fully loading them with the voltage-sensitive dye bis[1,3-dibutylbarbituric acid-(5)] trimethineoxonol [DiBAC(4)(3)] or selectively loading their pericytes. ANG II was also observed to de...
