چکیده

Grunnet, Morten, Hans-Günther Knaus, Christina Solander, and DanA. Klaerke. Quantification and distribution of Ca21-activated maxi K1 channels in rabbit distal colon. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 40): G22– G30, 1999.—The Ca21-activated maxi K1 channel is an abundant channel type in the distal colon epithelium, but nothing is known regarding the actual number and precise localization of these channels. The aim of this study has therefore been to quantify the maxi K1 channels in colon epithelium by binding of iberiotoxin (IbTX), a selective peptidyl ligand for maxi K1 channels. In isotope flux measurements 75% of the total K1 channel activity in plasma membranes from distal colon epithelium is inhibited by IbTX (K0.5 5 4.5 pM), indicating that the maxi K1 channel is the predominant channel type in this epithelium. Consistent with the functional studies, the radiolabeled double mutant 125I-IbTX-D19Y/Y36F binds to the colon epithelium membranes with an equilibrium dissociation constant of ,10 pM. The maximum receptor concentration values (in fmol/mg protein) for 125I-IbTX-D19Y/Y36F binding to colon epithelium are 78 for surface membranes and 8 for crypt membranes, suggesting that the maxi K1 channels are predominantly expressed in the Na1-absorbing surface cells, as compared with the Cl2-secreting crypt cells. However, aldosterone stimulation of this tissue induced by a low-Na1 diet does not change the total number of maxi K1 channels.

Burden of self-reported acute gastrointestinal illness in China: a population-based survey

BACKGROUND Acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI) is an important public-health problem worldwide. Previous national studies of the incidence of AGI in China were performed decades ago, and detailed information was not available. This study therefore sought to determine the magnitude, distribution, and burden of self-reported AGI in China. METHODS Twelve-month, retrospective face-to-face survey...

The association between farming activities, precipitation, and the risk of acute gastrointestinal illness in rural municipalities of Quebec, Canada: a cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND Increasing livestock density and animal manure spreading, along with climate factors such as heavy rainfall, may increase the risk of acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI). In this study we evaluated the association between farming activities, precipitation and AGI. METHODS A cross-sectional telephone survey of randomly selected residents (n = 7006) of 54 rural municipalities in Que...

the attempt to build systems that show intelligence on a human level and scale while working in realistic situations, that is, systems that can operate in environments they do not know in advance, on tasks they are not specifically designed for, and that embrace the breadth of human capabilities. Motivated by the original idea of artificial intelligence in the 1950s and 1960s, there has been a ...

Whole Cell Therapeutic Vaccine Modified With Hyper-IL6 for Combinational Treatment of Nonresected Advanced Melanoma

UNLABELLED Active specific immunotherapy of cancer requires an efficient induction and effector phase. The induction covers potent activation of anti-tumor response, whereas effector breaks the immunosuppression. We report efficacy of therapeutic melanoma vaccine (AGI-101H) used alone in advanced disease as a candidate for further combined treatment. In adjuvant setting in patients with resecte...

INTRODUCTION Effective strategies for prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) are widely available, but still remain underused, mainly in our country. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to verify whether the implementation of a guideline for VTE prophylaxis for surgical patients influenced the prescription of prophylaxis by the medical staff. METHODS This was a retrospective preintervention-postinter...
