Intravitreal irrigation with Balanced Salt Solution Plus (BSS Plus) produced less decrease in b-wave amplitude than either normal saline solution or Balanced Salt Solution. BSS Plus was more suitable for intravitreal irrigation because it contained the appropriate bicarbonate, pH, and ionic composition necessary for maintenance of normal retinal electrical activity, and it contained glutathione, which is necessary for maintenance of endothelial cell adenosine triphosphatase and for protection against free radical damage and oxidative stress.

The effects of intradermal injection of interferon alpha-2 beta on normal human skin were studied in 12 healthy adult volunteers using 500,000 international units recombinant human interferon alpha-2 beta, 3 times a week for five injections (n = 6) and nine injections (n = 6). Saline injections served as control sites. Lymphocytic infiltrates and the population of epidermal Langerhans' cells in the injection areas were observed. The results showed that epidermal Langerhans' cells (both adenosine triphosphatase positive and CD-1+) decreased significantly whereas human leukocyte antigen-DR expression in keratinocytes was enhanced. Dermal CD-3+ (Pan T cells), CD-4+ (T helper cells) and human leukocyte antigen DR+ cells increased. No significant differences in the number of CD-19+ (B cells) and CD-57+ (NK cells) were observed. There were no significant differences between the five-injection and nine-injection groups.

The effect of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) on spinal cord Na(+)-K(+-adenosine triphosphatase (Na+-K+-ATPase) activity after spinal cord injury was evaluated in rats. The rats were injured by compression of the cord at T-10 for 1 minute with a 50-g clip. Saline in the placebo group (n = 8) and TRH (0.6 mg per dose) in the TRH group (n = 9) were administered intraperitoneally as bolus injections in two doses, at 45 and 120 minutes after the injury. The Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity level in the TRH group was significantly higher (p = 0.024) than in placebo group. These results indicate a possible role for TRH treatment in spinal cord injury.

The effect of cromakalim, an opener of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel, on precontracted aortic rings from control and salt-loaded rats was studied in Sprague-Dawley rats. Salt-loading experiments involved the induction of hypertension by 6-week feeding of 80 g sodium chloride (NaCl) per kilogram (kg) diet while the control diet had 3 g NaCl per kg diet. Blood pressure and heart rate were determined by cannulation of a femoral artery under urethane/alpha-chloralose anaesthesia. Isolated aortic rings were mounted in tissue baths for isometric tension measurement. The sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K ATPase) pump activity was measured by potassium (K+)-induced relaxation (with or without ouabain) following precontraction with 10(-7) M noradrenaline. The KATP channel was studied by measuring the relaxation response to cromakalim, precontracted with either 10(-7) M noradrenaline or 60 mM potassium chloride (KCl). The Na-K ATPase pump appeared to be inhibited during salt loading. ATPase inactivation was found to be ouabain sensitive but did not seem to affect subsequent K(+)-induced contraction. Cromakalim produced relaxation of noradrenaline-precontracted rings from the control rats; rings from salt-loaded rats showed significantly less relaxation than control (p < 0.05) under similar conditions. During K(+)-induced precontraction, cromakalim produced a weak biphasic response in the control rings--an initial relaxation and then a reversal. Cromakalim produced further contraction of K(+)-induced precontraction in the salt-loaded group. The results suggest that ATP-sensitive potassium channels and Na-K ATPase pumps on the vascular smooth muscle membrane may be deactivated in the development of hypertension during salt loading.
