Progressive loss of myocardial ATP due to a loss of total purines during the development of heart failure in dogs: a compensatory role for the parallel loss of creatine.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Whether myocardial ATP content falls in heart failure is a long-standing and controversial issue. The mechanism(s) to explain any decrease in ATP content during heart failure have not been identified. METHODS AND RESULTS Cardiac dysfunction, heart failure, and a prolonged steady state of heart failure were induced by chronic right ventricular pacing for 1 to 2 weeks, 3 to 4 weeks, and 7 to 9 weeks in dogs. Cardiac function and myocardial O(2) consumption (Mf1.gif" BORDER="0">O(2)) were measured with the dogs in the conscious state. ATP, total purine, and creatine were measured in biopsy specimens obtained at each stage. ATP and the total purine pool progressively fell at rates of 0.12 and 0.15 nmol. mg protein(-1). d(-1), despite an increase in Mf1.gif" BORDER="0">O(2). The rate of loss of creatine was 1.06 nmol. mg protein(-1). d(-1), 7 times faster than the depletion of total purine. CONCLUSIONS (1) ATP contents progressively decreased during heart failure as a result of a loss of the total purine pool. The loss of purines may be due to inhibition of de novo purine synthesis. (2) Loss of creatine is an early marker of heart failure and may serve as a compensatory mechanism minimizing the reduction of the total purine pool in the failing heart.

Influence of Sudden Column Loss on Dynamic Response of Steel Moment Frames under Blast Loading
Modeling buildings response to blast and subsequent progressive collapse interested more and more researchers during the past two decades. Due to the threat from extreme loading, efforts have been made to develop methods of structural analysis and design. In this paper, progressive collapse capacity of steel moment frames was first investigated using alternate load path method, then a nonlinear...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Progressive Collapse in Framed Structures: A New Approach for Dynamic Column Removal (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Progressive collapse is a situation where local failure of a primary structural component leads to the collapse of adjoining members which, in turn, leads to additional collapse. Hence, the total damage is disproportionate to the original cause. The most common local failure in framed structure is assumed to be column failure. In this paper, a new approach for dynamic column removal in framed s...

Progressive collapse is a condition where local failure of a primary structural component leads to the collapse of neighboring members and the whole structure, consequently. In this paper, the progressive collapse potential of seismically designed steel dual systems with buckling restrained braces is investigated using the alternate path method, and their performances are compared with those of...
