Phenylephrine Alteration Of Cerebral Blood Flow During Orthostasis: Effect On N-Back Performance In Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Marvin S. Medow, Shilpa Sood, Zachary Messer, Seli Dzogbeta, Courtney Terilli, Julian M. Stewart Nov 2014

Phenylephrine Alteration Of Cerebral Blood Flow During Orthostasis: Effect On N-Back Performance In Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Marvin S. Medow, Shilpa Sood, Zachary Messer, Seli Dzogbeta, Courtney Terilli, Julian M. Stewart

NYMC Faculty Publications

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) with orthostatic intolerance is characterized by neurocognitive deficits and impaired working memory, concentration, and information processing. In CFS, upright tilting [head-up tilt (HUT)] caused decreased cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv) related to hyperventilation/hypocapnia and impaired cerebral autoregulation; increasing orthostatic stress resulted in decreased neurocognition. We loaded the baroreflex with phenylephrine to prevent hyperventilation and performed n-back neurocognition testing in 11 control subjects and 15 CFS patients. HUT caused a significant increase in heart rate (109.4 ± 3.9 vs. 77.2 ± 1.6 beats/min, P < 0.05) and respiratory rate (20.9 ± 1.7 vs. 14.2 ± 1.2 breaths/min, P < 0.05) and decrease in end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2; 42.8 ± 1.2 vs. 33.9 ± 1.1 Torr, P < 0.05) in CFS vs. control. HUT caused CBFv to decrease 8.7% in control subjects but fell 22.5% in CFS. In CFS, phenylephrine prevented the HUT-induced hyperventilation/hypocapnia and the significant drop in CBFv with HUT (-8.1% vs. -22.5% untreated). There was no difference in control subject n-back normalized response time (nRT) comparing supine to HUT (106.1 ± 6.9 vs. 97.6 ± 7.1 ms at n = 4), and no difference comparing control to CFS while supine (97.1 ± 7.1 vs 96.5 ± 3.9 ms at n = 4). However, HUT of CFS subjects caused a significant increase in nRT (148.0 ± 9.3 vs. 96.4 ± 6.0 ms at n = 4) compared with supine. Phenylephrine significantly reduced the HUT-induced increase in nRT in CFS to levels similar to supine (114.6 ± 7.1 vs. 114.6 ± 9.3 ms at n = 4). Compared with control subjects, CFS subjects are more sensitive both to orthostatic challenge and to baroreflex/chemoreflex-mediated interventions. Increasing blood pressure with phenylephrine can alter CBFv. In CFS subjects, mitigation of the HUT-induced CBFv decrease with phenylephrine has a beneficial effect on n-back outcome.

NYMC Faculty Publications

Three of the four kynurenine aminotransferases (KAT I, II, and IV) that synthesize kynurenic acid, a neuromodulator, are identical to glutamine transaminase K (GTK), α-aminoadipate aminotransferase, and mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase, respectively. GTK/KAT I and aspartate aminotransferase/KAT IV possess cysteine S-conjugate β-lyase activity. The gene for the former enzyme, GTK/KAT I, is listed in mammalian genome data banks as CCBL1 (cysteine conjugate beta-lyase 1). Also listed, despite the fact that no β-lyase activity has been assigned to the encoded protein in the genome data bank, is a CCBL2 (synonym KAT III). We show that human KAT III/CCBL2 possesses cysteine S-conjugate β-lyase …

Kcnj10 Is A Major Type Of K+ Channel In Mouse Corneal Epithelial Cells And Plays A Role In Initiating Egfr Signaling, Lijun Wang, Chengbiao Zhang, Xiaotong Su, Daohong Lin Oct 2014

Kcnj10 Is A Major Type Of K+ Channel In Mouse Corneal Epithelial Cells And Plays A Role In Initiating Egfr Signaling, Lijun Wang, Chengbiao Zhang, Xiaotong Su, Daohong Lin

NYMC Faculty Publications

We used primary mouse corneal epithelial cells (pMCE) to examine the role of Kcnj10 in determining membrane K(+) conductance and cell membrane potential and in regulating EGF/TGFA release. Western blot, immunostaining, and RT-PCR detected the expression of Kcnj10 in mouse cornea. The single channel recording identified the 20-pS inwardly rectifying K(+) channels in pMCE of WT mice, but these channels were absent in Kcnj10(-/-). Moreover, the whole cell recording demonstrates that deletion of Kcnj10 largely abolished the inward K(+) currents and depolarized the cell membrane K(+) reversal potential (an index of the cell membrane potential). This suggests that Kcnj10 is …

Risk Groups For Yellow Fever Vaccine-Associated Viscerotropic Disease (Yel-Avd), Stephen J. Seligman Oct 2014

Risk Groups For Yellow Fever Vaccine-Associated Viscerotropic Disease (Yel-Avd), Stephen J. Seligman

NYMC Faculty Publications

Although previously considered as the safest of the live virus vaccines, reports published since 2001 indicate that live yellow fever virus vaccine can cause a severe, often fatal, multisystemic illness, yellow fever vaccine-associated viscerotropic disease (YEL-AVD), that resembles the disease it was designed to prevent. This review was prompted by the availability of a listing of the cumulative cases of YEL-AVD, insights from a statistical method for analyzing risk factors and re-evaluation of previously published data. The purpose of this review is to identify and analyze risk groups based on gender, age, outcome and predisposing illnesses. Using a passive surveillance …

Partial Blockade Of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Improves The Counterregulatory Response To Hypoglycemia In Recurrently Hypoglycemic Rats, Edmund F. Lagamma, Necla Kirtok, Owen Chan, Bistra B. Nankova Oct 2014

Partial Blockade Of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Improves The Counterregulatory Response To Hypoglycemia In Recurrently Hypoglycemic Rats, Edmund F. Lagamma, Necla Kirtok, Owen Chan, Bistra B. Nankova

NYMC Faculty Publications

Recurrent exposure to hypoglycemia can impair the normal counterregulatory hormonal responses that guard against hypoglycemia, leading to hypoglycemia unawareness. This pathological condition known as hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure (HAAF) is the main adverse consequence that prevents individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus from attaining the long-term health benefits of tight glycemic control. The underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for the progressive loss of the epinephrine response to subsequent bouts of hypoglycemia, a hallmark sign of HAAF, are largely unknown. Normally, hypoglycemia triggers both the release and biosynthesis of epinephrine through activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) on the adrenal glands. We hypothesize …


Downregulation Of Cox-2 And Cyp 4a Signaling By Isoliquiritigenin Inhibits Human Breast Cancer Metastasis Through Preventing Anoikis Resistance, Migration And Invasion, Hao Zheng, Ying Li, Yuzhong Wang, Haixia Zhao, Jing Zhang, Hongyan Chai, Tian Tang, Jiang Yue, Austin M. Guo, Jing Yang Oct 2014

NYMC Faculty Publications

Flavonoids exert extensive in vitro anti-invasive and in vivo anti-metastatic activities. Anoikis resistance occurs at multiple key stages of the metastatic cascade. Here, we demonstrate that isoliquiritigenin (ISL), a flavonoid from Glycyrrhiza glabra, inhibits human breast cancer metastasis by preventing anoikis resistance, migration and invasion through downregulating cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 4A signaling. ISL induced anoikis in MDA-MB-231 and BT-549 human breast cancer cells as evidenced by flow cytometry and the detection of caspase cleavage. Moreover, ISL inhibited the mRNA expression of phospholipase A2, COX-2 and CYP 4A and decreased the secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic …

Decorin Binding Proteins A And B In The Serodiagnosis Of Lyme Disease In North America, Paul M. Arnaboldi, Mariya Sambir, Raymond J. Dattwyler

NYMC Faculty Publications

The laboratory diagnosis of Lyme disease is based upon the detection of antibodies generated against Borrelia burgdorferi using a two-tier assay, typically consisting of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), followed by a Western blot. This system, put into place to address the nonspecificity associated with standalone first-tier assays, is insensitive for diagnosing early infection, when most people seek care. The use of bacterial lysates or whole-protein antigens as first-tier assay targets contributes to nonspecificity due, in part, to the presence of cross-reactive epitopes that are also found in other bacteria. This precludes their use as sensitive standalone assays. The use …
