Anesthesia in Cardiac Surgery (Open-Closed Heart)
In this paper the duties of an anesthesiologist and his right of i=;electing patient is discussed. La,ter, we di:=:cuss the <::mergencies cf heart surgery, pre up visit and alsc few dcails of pre up medication cf thei,e pati<mts. We also touch on the stages of anesthPsia and point to our preference for the use cf artery and vein for arterial and venous cannulation. In this paper we discuss in b...
متن کاملCooperative Transition between Open and Closed Conformations in Potassium Channels
Potassium (K+) ion channels switch between open and closed conformations. The nature of this important transition was revealed by comparing the X-ray crystal structures of the MthK channel from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, obtained in its open conformation, and the KcsA channel from Streptomyces lividans, obtained in its closed conformation. We analyzed the dynamic characteristics and ...
متن کاملMutations reveal voltage gating of CNGA1 channels in saturating cGMP
Activity of cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) cation channels underlies signal transduction in vertebrate visual receptors. These highly specialized receptor channels open when they bind cyclic GMP (cGMP). Here, we find that certain mutations restricted to the region around the ion selectivity filter render the channels essentially fully voltage gated, in such a manner that the channels remain most...
متن کاملBoth open and closed NMDA receptor channels desensitize.
Desensitization of NMDA receptors was studied at the single-channel level using outside-out patches taken from rat hippocampus CA neurons maintained short term in culture. The amount of desensitization that accumulated as a function of time during the application of NMDA (2.5 microM) was measured by the response to the rapid application of NMDA at a high concentration (100 microM). Records were...
متن کاملSalt Bridges and Gating in the COOH-terminal Region of HCN2 and CNGA1 Channels
Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-modulated (HCN) channels and cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels are activated by the direct binding of cyclic nucleotides. The intracellular COOH-terminal regions exhibit high sequence similarity in all HCN and CNG channels. This region contains the cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CNBD) and the C-linker region, which connects the CNBD to the p...
