Maximum skin hyperaemia induced by local heating: possible mechanisms
No full textBackground: Maximum skin hyperaemia (MH) induced by heating skin to 42°C is impaired in individuals at risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Interpretation of these findings is hampered by the lack of clarity of the mechanisms involved in the attainment of MH. Methods: MH was achieved by local heating of skin to 42-43°C for 30 min, and assessed by laser Doppler fluximetry. Using double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study designs, the roles of prostaglandins were investigated by inhibiting their production with aspirin and histamine, with the H1 receptor antagonist cetirizine. The nitric oxide (NO) pathway was blocked by the NO synthase inhibitor, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl esther (L-NAME), and enhanced by sildenafil (prevents breakdown of cGMP). Results: MH was not altered by aspirin, cetirizine or sildenafil, but was reduced by L-NAME: median placebo 4.48 V (25th, 75th centiles: 3.71, 4.70) versus L-NAME 3.25 V (3.10, 3.80) (p = 0.008, Wilcoxon signed rank test). Inhibition of NO production (L-NAME) resulted in a more rapid reduction in hyperaemia after heating (p = 0.011), whereas hyperaemia was prolonged in the presence of sildenafil (p = 0.003). The increase in skin blood flow was largely confined to the directly heated area, suggesting that the role of heat-induced activation of the axon reflex was small. Conclusion: NO, but not prostaglandins, histamine or an axon reflex, contributes to the increase in blood flow on heating and NO is also a component of the resolution of MH after heating
Robert Torrens' Letter to Thomas Tooke(1840)
No full textP(論文)Robert Torrens, as the author of Letter to Melbourne(1837) which included the first printed proposal of separation of the Bank of England into two departments and Letter to Thomas Tooke(1840), has emerged asone of main figures of the Currency School in 19 th century Britain. But there was a theoretically big difference between Torrens and Overstone, the leader of the school, in definition of money. Torrens thought deposits 'perform the functions of money just as effectually as the coin and bank notes actually in circulation'(Letter to Merbourne). Overstone was different at this point from Torrens and was rather the same with Tooke in distinguish them. In 1837-1840 Torrens intended to be in Overstone's group and make the Currency School with him but Overstone could not accept Torrens as a member of his group because of the difference in the theory of money.departmental bulletin pape
Circulation du revenu et circulation du capital : la distinction monnaie/crédit chez Thomas Tooke
No full textCurrency and capital : the distinction established by Thomas Tooke between noney and credit
Jérôme De Boyer
This article wants to show the coherence of the thesis defended by the « Banking School » leader. The Stress is put on Tooke's definitions of money and credit. The exposition insits on how essential the difference between the two notions is to understand his opposition to the Bank Charter Act of 1844 as well as his full agreement to the gold standard. The author is thus lead to study the seperation established by T. Tooke between currency and capital and also to comment, on this base, the influence of interest rates on priees.Dans cet article qui vise à restituer la cohérence des thèses défendues par le chef de file de la Banking School, l'accent est mis sur ses définitions de la monnaie et du crédit. L'exposé souligne combien la distinction que T. Tooke établit entre ces deux notions est essentielle pour comprendre aussi bien son opposition à la réforme de la Banque d'Angleterre en 1844 que son attachement au régime d'étalon-or. L'auteur est en conséquence conduit à étudier la séparation établie par Tooke entre circulation du revenu et circulation du capital et à commenter sur cette base les effets d'une variation du taux d'intérêt sur les prix.De Boyer Jérôme.

The Monetary Thought of Thomas Tooke
No full textThe leading theorist of the Banking School and author of the monumental six volume History of Prices(1838-1857) and the brilliant pamphlet, An Inquiry into the Currency Principle (1844), Thomas Tooke (1774-1858) is one of the most prominent figures in nineteenth century monetary thought. This paper aims to expound the central features of Tooke's monetary analysis. The paper first examines his early pre-banking school views on monetary questions which led him to reject the classical quantity theory. It then examines Tooke's banking school principles on the relation between money, interest and the price level. By way of conclusion, the logical consistency of Tooke's monetary thought within the theoretical framework of classical economics is examined critically in order to evaluate its relevance to contemporary monetary economics
The Account of Crimea and the Crimean Khanate Produced by William Tooke in 1785
No full textResearch objective: This paper analyses a little-known source, the account of British traveller William Tooke, describing his journey though Russia in 1785, which supplies information on the Crimea and the Crimean Khanate.
Research materials: This paper addresses Tooke’s letters to the editor of the London-based Gentleman’s Magazine – a source previously not used by Russian scholarship. This was the first publication which informed a British audience about the Crimea after its first joining to Russia.
Research novelty and results: This paper reveals that Tooke received his information on the Crimea primarily from the account of the employee of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vasilii Zuev, who visited it in 1782. The British author then added to it the data excerpted from the work by Swedish Johann Thunmann, and also his own information gathered from Russian sources. Tooke’s letters allow one to understand the beginnings of the research investigation of the Crimea, the European intellectuals’ ways of understanding the region’s economic potential and approaches to its development, their approaches to sources, the stereotypes burdening their understanding of the area and its culture, and the information on the distant northern Black Sea area obtained by European society in the period in question. Tooke’s work is a good example of the transfer of ideas between Russia and Western Europe, when the Crimea was not only the subject of learning but also a kind of “mirror” which allowed those who researched it to understand their own culture in a deeper way
