The effects of the potassium (K+) channel opener, cromakalim, on skeletal muscle performance were studied in a model of acute hindlimb ischaemia in the anaesthetized rat. Twitch contractions to direct electrical stimulation of the extensor digitorum and tibialis anterior skeletal muscles were
The role of muscle ischemia and fatigue in modulating the monosynaptic reflex was investigated in decerebrate and spinalized rats. Field potentials and fast motoneuron single units in the lateral gastrocnemious (LG) motor pool were evoked by dorsal root stimulation. Muscle ischemia was induced by
TA-993 (cis-(-)-2-(4-methylphenyl)-3-acetoxy-2,3-dihydro-5-(2-dimethylaminoethy l)-8-methyl1,5-benzothiazepine-4(5H)-one maleate), a new 1,5-benzothiazepine derivative, has a selective increasing action on limb blood flow in addition to an antiplatelet action. In this report we studied the effect of
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury negatively affects the outcome of surgical interventions for amputated or severely traumatized extremities. This study aimed to evaluate the protective role of l-carnitine on the contractile properties of fast-twitch (extensor digitorum longus [EDL]) and slow-twitch
A constant-flow, cross-perfused, vascularly isolated gracilis muscle preparation was used to examine the hypothesis that locally produced and released products of ischemic muscle metabolism are responsible for the vascular decompensation (vasodilation) reported to occur in late oligemic hypotension.
OBJECTIVE
To put forward the concept of acute peroneal artery ischemia syndrome, and to study its typical clinical manifestations and imaging features so as to provide the basis of the evidence-based medicine for the diagnosis and treatment of acute peroneal artery ischemia.
METHODS
Between October
Effects of liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin with high O2 -affinity (h-LEH), an artificial O2 carrier on skeletal muscle, were studied by in situ fatigue-resistance test in fast-type Plantaris (PLT) and slow-type Soleus (SOL) muscles with or without ischemia in the rat. The
Tourniquets frequently used during surgery involve tissue ischemia followed by postoperative reperfusion. However, little information is available on the functional consequences of this procedure in skeletal muscle. The goal of this study was to use skeletal muscles of C57BL/6 adult male mice to
The aim of our study was to assess the influence of intraoperative hypoxic stress -unavoidably brought about by so called Pringle maneuver - on free and conjugated catecholamines during major hepatic resection. Judging from earlier results of fatigue-experiments in rats we also wanted to check the
The origin of fatigue in McArdle's disease is still a matter of debate. Both a reduction of muscle membrane excitability and failure of excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling have been suggested as causes. We performed intermittent isometric biceps brachii contractions (80% maximal voluntary
OBJECTIVE
A previous study on fatigue and related disorders in inflammatory bowel disease, patients improved after therapy with high-dose thiamine. Chronic fatigue that accompanies inflammatory and autoimmune diseases could be the clinical manifestation of a mild thiamine deficiency, probably due to
Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is associated with elderly frailty, skeletal muscle injury and malfunction, reduced vascular integrity and function, and mortality. Although HHcy has been implicated in the impairment of angiogenesis after hindlimb ischemia in murine models, the underlying mechanisms are
BACKGROUND
Type 1 (distal) renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a rare clinical condition characterized with defect of urinary acidification in distal tubulus. If diagnosis delays, RTA may cause metabolic and clinical complications and comorbidities. We describe here a type 1 distal RTA case with
Acute ischaemia-reperfusion disrupts capillary fine structure and increases leukocyte adhesion in postcapillary venules. We determined whether chronic muscle ischaemia has similar consequences, and whether it is possible to ameliorate its effect on muscle performance. Following ischaemia (unilateral
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of U74006F, a new antioxidant, on isometric contractile function after tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury. Twenty-six NZW rabbits underwent either 2 or 4 hr of thigh tourniquet compression. Animals were randomized to receive U74006F
