Abstract: Gastric reflux of bile has been reported to be essential for the production of acute gastric mucosal lesions by intragastric aspirin in the rat. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether bile duct legation of pylorus ligation in the rat inhibits asprin-induced gastric lesions, and, if so, what the protective mechanisms are. Operations were performed under ether anesthesia. Asprin, 200 mg per kg, was instilled into the stomach 1/2 hr postsurgery (bile duct ligation or pylorus ligation). Four hours later the rats were killed, the stomachs were examined, and mucosal lesions were scored. Bile duct ligation, but not pylorus ligation, significantly protected against aspirin-induced gastric-lesions. Bile duct ligation, in pylorus-ligated rats, inhibited gastric acid output by 78%. Instilling HCl + aspirin in bile duct-ligated rats restored lesion formation. Shunting bile to the colon (to prevent bile reflux) did not prevent aspirin lesions. Salicylate determination, to ascertain whether bile duct ligation altered asprin absorption, revealed no significant differences between bile duct ligation and aspirin, shunt + aspirin, and sham shunt + aspirin in plasma and gastric tissue salicylate concentrations. Conclusions: (1) Bile duct legation protects against aspirin-induced gastric mucosal lesions by inhibiting gastric HCl secretion. As a corollary, a certain amount of acid in the stomach is necessary for aspirin-induced gastric lesions to form. (2) Bile reflux is not necessary for aspirn-induced gastric lesions in the rat.
Fold recognition algorithm FFAS (Rychlewski et al., Protein Sci, 2000;9:232-241) was used to match the nucleotide-binding adaptor shared by APAF-1, certain R gene products and CED-4 (NB-ARC domain) to the structure of the D2 domain of N-ethylemaleimide-Sensitive Fusion Protein and the delta; subunit of clamp loader of DNA polymerase III. The predicted structure consists of the p-loop ATP-binding domain, followed by two alpha-helical domains that regulate the oligomerization process. This prediction suggests a detailed molecular mechanism for th...
The nonallosteric regulation mechanism of enzyme reaction velocity assumes that the substrate and enzyme interact via a metal cation and form simple and mixed, mono- and multi-nuclear complexes. A solution of equations for individual cases gives a function of initial reaction velocity at any given substrate or modifier concentration. This function can describe kinetic effects that are considered allosteric, as well as phenomena omitted by commonly-accepted models.
The kinetic mechanisms of Escherichia coli phosphofructokinase-2 (Pfk-2) and of the mutant enzyme Pfk-2 were investigated. Initial velocity studies showed that both enzymes have a sequential kinetic mechanism, indicating that both substrates must bind to the enzyme before any products are released. For Pfk-2, the product inhibition kinetics was as follows: fructose-1,6-P2 was a competitive inhibitor versus fructose-6-P at two ATP concentrations (0.1 and 0.4 mM), and noncompetitive versus ATP. The other product inhibition patterns, ADP versus ei...
A study was made of the conditions of the occurrence and mechanisms of the enhancement by the sympathetic nerve of the vagus-induced inhibition of rabbit heart work. It was discovered that to obtain such a phenomenon, it is necessary that stimulation of the stellate ganglion be made in the presence of perithreshold stimulation of the vagus after blockade of beta-adrenoreceptors. The inhibitory effect was not abolished by dihydroergotoxin but was blocked by promedol, aminazine and diprazine. It is suggested that the serotoninergic component is i...

In ecotoxicology, mechanism-based quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) are usually developed with higher quality than QSARs without regard to toxicity mechanism. Correctly determining the mechanism of a compound, which is not always easy, is required to use mechanism-based QSARs for toxicity prediction. The mechanism determination step may introduce extra errors in addition to the intrinsic prediction errors of mechanism-based QSARs, thus compromising these QSARs' performance compared with QSARs regardless of mechanism. In this...
