Is synaptic potentiation necessary for the development of kindling? Maru E. Department of Physiology, Nippon Medical School, Tokyo, Japan. Field potentials were recorded from the dentate gyrus of freely moving rats to examine the role of synaptic potentiation in the development of seizure susceptibility during rapid kindling. Kindling stimulations (10 Hz for 10 sec) were delivered to the perforant path at every 5 min for 5 or 6 hrs. This procedure produced a sustained depression of excitatory synaptic transmission at the perforant path-granu...

Potentiation of chemotherapy by low-level ultrasound. Harrison GH, Balcer-Kubiczek EK, Eddy HA. Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore 21201. We have performed in vitro and in vivo tests to determine whether ultrasound (US) at levels lower than previously investigated by others could still potentiate chemotherapeutic cell killing. Positive results were obtained with adriamycin and diaziquone. Two types of low-level US were effective: tone-burst US (10% duty cycle, 1.765 MHz, ISATA = 0.25 W/cm2)...

Antibacterial activity of crinitol and its potentiation. Kubo I, Himejima M, Tsujimoto K, Muroi H, Ichikawa N. Division of Entomology and Parasitology, College of Natural Resources, University of California, Berkeley 94720. An acyclic diterpene alcohol, crinitol [1], was identified in a marine brown alga, Sargassum tortile, as the principal antibacterial agent against Gram-positive bacteria, among which Propionibacterium acnes was most sensitive and, Staphylococcus aureus was least. To enhance its activity, crinitol was combined with several...

Mechanism of postextrasystolic potentiation in the right ventricle. Dell'Italia LJ. Department of Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio. The mechanism of postextrasystolic potentiation (PESP) has been studied in the left ventricle in humans; however, this phenomenon has not been evaluated in the right ventricle. Accordingly, 18 sinus beats were compared to postextrasystolic beats during the same cineventriculogram using simultaneous high-fidelity right ventricular (RV) and pulmonary artery pressures and cast-valida...

Short-term potentiation of breathing in humans. Fregosi RF. Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences, University of Arizona Health Sciences Center, Tucson 85721. The purpose of this study was to determine if the increase in ventilation induced by hypoxic stimulation of the carotid bodies (CB) persists after cessation of the stimulus in humans. I reasoned that a short-term potentiation (STP) of breathing, sometimes called an "afterdischarge," could be unmasked by combining hypoxia with exercise, because ventilation increases synergistically ...
