Some aspects of renin-angiotensin system
No full textRecently, the classical concept that angiotennin I is solely an inert precursor of the biologically active angiotensin II has been questioned. Some functions of angiotenein I are apparently independent of this conversion and, in this study, the possibility of a pressor role for angiotensin I has been investigated using conscious rabbits.In several situations, a qualitative di£farence between the mechanism of the pressor actions of angiotensins I and II has been shown. These include; tachyphylaxia to angiotensin II; barbiturate anaesthesia and alpha-adrenergic blockade with phentolamine. In contrast, there was no differential action of beta blockade, ganglion blockade and competitive inhibition with Sarl Glye angiotensin II on the two angiotensins. Studies on angiotenein I converting enzymes are also described. Evidence disputing the presupposed dominance of pulmonary conversion of angiotensin I to angiotenein II is presented. A converting enzyme antagonist.showed incomplete inhibition of the pressor response to angiotensin I. This supports the idea of 'a direct pressor action angiotensin. Preliminary work on an immunoelectrophoretic assay for renin is also reported. Plasma renin is currently measured as a function of its enzymic activity, and our understanding of the mechanisms governing the physiological expression of the renin-angiotensin system havebeen frustrated by a lack of information concerning plasma renin protein concentration. This problem could be circumvented using.an immune~ electrophoretic assay.</p

Ambient ozone and bacterium Streptococcus: A link between cellulitis and pharyngitis
No full textObjectives: Ambient air pollution, as many publications indicate, may have associations with skin condition. The aim of this study has been to examine such common relations for cellulitis and pharyngitis. The hypothesis is that ambient ground-level ozone may help bacteria to penetrate skin or throat. Material and Methods: We used the emergency department (ED) visits data in Edmonton, Canada for the period from 1992 (April) to 2002 (March). We retrieved all the diagnosed ED visits for cellulitis and pharyngitis. Case-crossover design was used to study potential association between ozone and those visits. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results: The results are reported for the interquartile range (IQR = 17.9 ppb) for 8 h maximum ozone. Positive and statistical significant results were obtained as follows: for lags from 0 to 3 (OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 1.03–1.12, lag 2); for lags from 0 to 6 days (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.03–1.12, lag 3); for lags from 0 to 4 (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.03–1.09, for lag 2 and 3). Conclusions: The findings suggest the response to exposure to ambient ground-level ozone for skin and pharyngitis considered separately and jointly

Understanding Author Rights
No full textAuthor Rights is the term used to describe a researcher\u27s rights related to their published work. In this session, Brian Young will: 1) provide an overview of author rights, 2) explain language often used in the publication agreement, and 3) demonstrate a tool (Sherpa Romeo) that can be used to quickly understand what default rights you have (and lose) when you publish with a specific journal
