Published 2003Staff ViewISSN: 1365-2826Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: This study used the novel approach of statistical modelling to investigate the control of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and quantify temporal relationships between hormones. Two experimental paradigms were chosen, insulin-induced hypoglycaemia and 2 h transport, to assess differences in control between noncognitive and cognitive stimuli. Vasopressin and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) were measured in hypophysial portal plasma, and adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) and cortisol in jugular plasma of conscious sheep, and deconvolution analysis was used to calculate secretory rates, before modelling. During hypoglycaemia, the relationship between plasma glucose and vasopressin or CRH was best described by log10 transforming variables (i.e. a positive power–curve relationship). A negative-feedback relationship with log10 cortisol concentration 2 h previously was detected. Analysis of the ‘transport’ stimulus suggested that the strength of the perceived stimulus decreased over time after accounting for cortisol facilitation and negative-feedback. The time course of vasopressin and CRH responses to each stimulus were different However, at the pituitary level, the data suggested that log10 ACTH secretion rate was related to log10 vasopressin and CRH concentrations with very similar regression coefficients and an identical ratio of actions (2.3 : 1) for both stimuli. Similar magnitude negative-feedback effects of log10 cortisol at −110 min (hypoglycaemia) or −40 min (transport) were detected, and both models contained a stimulatory relationship with cortisol at 0 min (facilitation). At adrenal gland level, cortisol secretory rates were related to simultaneously measured untransformed ACTH concentration but the regression coefficient for the hypoglycaemia model was 2.5-fold greater than for transport. No individual sustained maximum cortisol secretion for longer than 20 min during hypoglycaemia and 40 min during transport. These unique models demonstrate that corticosteroid negative-feedback is a significant control mechanism at both the pituitary and hypothalamus. The amplitude of HPA response may be related to stimulus intensity and corticosteroid negative-feedback, while duration depended on feedback alone.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1573-0832Keywords: yeasts ; incidence of burned patients ; nystatin therapySource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: BiologyMedicineNotes: Abstract The incidence of yeasts in the oral cavity, rectum and urine of a population of 60 children hospitalized for treatment of acute second and third degree burns was approximately the same at the time of their admission as would be expected in healthy subjects. After hospitalization, the incidence of yeasts was reduced in the intestinal tract of acute patients who received nystatin orally but increased in the oral cavity. The majority of 418 yeasts were inhibited in vitro by less than 50 units/ml nystatin and only 6 yeasts were resistant to more than 3.1 μg/ml amphotericin B. The oral cavity appeared to act as a significant reservoir from which yeasts spread to cause or contribute to the deaths of 2 of 5 patients who died during the study.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1983Staff ViewISSN: 1432-0428Keywords: Chlorpropamide-alcohol flushing ; chlorpropamide ; alcohol ; flushing ; body temperature ; diabetesSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Summary Forty-three diabetic patients on maintenance chlorpropamide (100–750 mg daily) drank 0.2 ml/kg 90% ethanol after equilibration in a room controlled at 20° C. Twenty-five patients had already noted marked alcohol flushing since starting chlopropamide therapy (group A), while 13 had not observed this (group B). The remainder were teetotal or unsure of their reaction. Cheek temperature rise correlated with plasma chlorpropamide concentration (r=0.6, p〈0.001) in all patients and was inversely related to basal cheek temperature (r=-0.35, p〈0.02). Plasma chlorpropamide correlated with daily chlorpropamide dose (r=0.8, p〈0.001) but not with basal cheek temperature. The correlation between chlorpropamide level and cheek temperature rise was strengthened on analysis of group A alone (r=0.7, p〈0.001) and absent in group B (r=0.2, p〉0.3) who tended to have lower chlorpropamide levels and cheek temperature rise than group A.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Plasma insulin (measured by both a charcoal separation and a double-antibody method), C-peptide, and haemoglobin were measured in each aliquot, and haemolysis was also assessed visibly. A significant loss of immuno-assayable plasma insulin was found in samples with only a trace of visible haemolysis, with up to 90% lost in severely haemolysed samples. Plasma C-peptide was unaffected by haemolysis. This represents an additional advantage for the use of plasma C-peptide in assessing insulin secretion.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -
