Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of continuity of care on older adults diagnosed with mental and behavioural disorders who are at risk of death due to intentional self-harm. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective cohort study. METHODS Data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Elderly Cohort Database (2002-2013) were used. A total of 53,980 patients who had visited the outpatient clinic three or more times within the year following the initial diagnosis of mental and behavioural disorders were included. A generalised estimating equation model was generated to examine the impact of continuity of care (CoC) on the risk of death due to intentional self-harm among older adults with mental illnesses. RESULTS The risk of death due to intentional self-harm was significantly higher in those with poor CoC for mental and behavioural disorders than in those with good CoC. The risk ratio, adjusting for all covariates, was larger for the Usual Provider of Care index (adjusted risk ratio [aRR]: 1.63, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25-2.12) than for the CoC index (aRR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.18-1.90), indicating a stronger association with the concentration of contact with the most frequently visited provider. CONCLUSIONS Poor CoC among Korean older adults diagnosed with mental and behavioural disorders was identified as a significant risk factor for death due to intentional self-harm. The results of this study highlight the need for interventions that can prevent suicidal behaviour in older adults, such as institutionalising the usual providers of mental health care for older adults.

Abstract
Fluorescent probe techniques were used to evaluate the effect of bupivacaine.HCl on the physical properties (transbilayer asymmetric lateral and rotational mobilities, annular lipid fluidity and protein distribution) of synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles (SPMVs) isolated from bovine cerebral cortex. An experimental procedure was used based on selective quenching of both 1,3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane (Py-3-Py) and 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) by trinitrophenyl groups, and radiationless energy transfer (RET) from the tryptophans of membrane proteins to Py-3-Py. Bupivacaine.HCl increased the bulk lateral and rotational mobilities, and annular lipid fluidity in SPMVs lipid bilayers, and had a greater fluidizing effect on the inner monolayer than that of the outer monolayer. The magnitude of increasing effect on annular lipid fluidity in SPMVs lipid bilayer induced by bupivacaine.HCl was significantly far greater than magnitude of increasing effect of the drug on the lateral and rotational mobilities of bulk SPMVs lipid bilayer. It also caused membrane proteins to cluster. These effects of bupivacaine.HCl on neuronal membranes may be responsible for some, though not all, of the local anesthetic actions of bupivacaine.HCl.

Abstract
The rat primary cultured-airway monolayer has been an excellent model for deciphering the ion channel after nystatin permeabilization of its basolateral or apical membrane. Inwardly rectifying K(+) currents were characterized across the basolateral membrane in symmetrical HCO(-)(3)-free high K(+) Ringer's solution (125 mM) in this study. The potency of K(+) channel inhibitors against K(+) conductance was Ba(2+) (IC(50) = 5 microM) > Cs(+) (IC(50) = 2 mM) >> glybenclamide (IC(50) > 5 mM) >> TEA (IC(50) >> 100 mM). The application of basolateral Cs(+) changed K(+) conductance into an oscillating current, and its frequency (holding voltage = -100 mV) increased with increase in concentration of basolateral Cs(+) (0.05-5 mM) and in degree of hyperpolarization. Addition of basolateral Cs(+) blocked inward current strongly at -100 mV and hardly at all at -60 mV, giving a sharp curvature to the I-V relation of the IRK current. RT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemical analyses showed that Kir2.1 might be present in basolateral membrane of tracheal epithelia and plasma membrane of pulmonary alveolar cells.

Abstract
To characterize the recurrence of bleeding in patients who had hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH), the authors reviewed 989 patients who underwent treatment for HICH between 1989 and 1995. Fifty-three patients (5.4%) had two episodes of HICH within a median interval of 22.9 +/- 16.3 months (range 1.5-72 months), and of these 3 (5.7%) had three episodes of HICH. The recurrence of bleeding most commonly occurred within 2 years of the first hemorrhage: in 66% of the 53 patients the second hemorrhage occurred soon after the first (within 1 year in 34%, within 1-2 years in 32.1%). The site of the second hemorrhage was different from the initial site in all patients. Only 1 patient had a third hemorrhage in the same site as the second hemorrhage. The common patterns of recurrence were 'ganglionic (putamen/caudate nucleus)-thalamic' in 26.8% and 'ganglionic-ganglionic' in 21.4%. The 'lobar-lobar' pattern was noted in only 2 patients. The volume of the hematoma was increased at the second hemorrhage. The overall mortality was 28.3%. The risk of recurrent hemorrhage significantly increased in the patients who had antihypertensive therapy of less than 3 months after the initial attack compared to those with further long-term therapy (p < 0.005). Long-term regular control for hypertension is needed to prevent recurrent hemorrhage.

Abstract
Anti-invasive and anti-metastatic effects of anti-integrin antibodies (against VLA-alpha 2, alpha 4, beta 1) were examined on human fibrosarcoma cells using in vitro invasion assay in a reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel) and experimental metastatic assay in a chick embryo. The effects of anti-integrin antibodies were compared with those of RGD-containing peptides (GRGDS), which have been known as effective inhibitors of tumor cell metastasis. Although slight differences in effective concentration among antibodies were observed, invasion and metastasis were significantly inhibited by anti-integrin antibodies. The results also showed partial inhibitory effect of GRGDS on the invasion and metastasis of human fibrosarcoma cells. These results indicate that integrin receptors mediating cell-cell/cell-extracellular matrix components interactions play a key role in the invasion and metastasis of human fibrosarcoma cells.

Abstract
Intramolecular excimerization of Py-3-Py and fluorescence polarization of DPH were used to evaluate effects of ethanol on the rate and range of the lateral mobility and the range of the rotational mobility of bulk bilayer structures of the Sp2/0-PMV. In a concentration-dependent manner, ethanol increased the rate and range of the lateral mobility and the range of the rotational mobility of bulk bilayer structures of Sp2/0-PMV. Selective quenching of DPH by trinitrophenyl groups was utilized to examine the range of transbilayer asymmetric rotational mobility of the Sp2/0-PVM. The anisotropy (r), limiting anisotropy (r(infinity)) and order parameter (S) of DPH in the inner monolayer were 0.022, 0.029 and 0.063, respectively, greater than calculated for the outer monolayer of the Sp2/0-PMV. Selective quenching of DPH by trinitrophenyl groups was also used to examine the transbilayer asymmetric effects of ethanol on the range of the rotational mobility of the Sp2/0-PMV. Ethanol had a greater increasing effect on the range of the rotational mobility of the outer monolayer as compared to the inner monolayer of the Sp2/0-PMV. It has been proven that ethanol exhibits a selective rather than nonselective fluidizing effect within the transbilayer domains of the Sp2/0-PMV.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanism of Cl- secretion by fluoroaluminate(AlF4-) and sodium orthovanadate(vanadate) using the human colonic T84 cell line. T84 cell monolayers grown on collagen-coated filters were mounted in Ussing chambers to measure short circuit current(ISC). Serosal addition of AlF4- or vanadate to T84 monolayers produced a sustained increase in ISC. Removal of Ca2+ from the serosal bathing solution partially inhibited AlF4-(-)and vanadate-induced ISC, and readministration of Ca2+ restored AlF4-(-)and vanadate-induced ISC. Carbachol application in the presence of forskolin, AlF4- or vanadate induced a synergistic increase of ISC. Forskolin and vanadate significantly increased cellular cAMP level, while carbachol and AlF4- did not. Carbachol, AlF4- and vanadate significantly increased [Ca2+]i. After Na+ in mucosal bathing solution was replaced with K+, and the mucosal membrane of T84 cell was permeabilized with amphotericin B, AlF4-, vanadate, and carbachol increased K+ conductance, but forskolin did not. After sodium chloride in serosal bathing solution was replaced with sodium gluconate and the serosal membrane was permeabilized with nystatin, forskolin, AlF4-, and vanadate increased Cl- conductance, but carbachol did not. AlF4-(-)induced ISC was remarkably inhibited by the pretreatment of pertussis toxin(2 micrograms/ml) for 2 hours. These results indicate that AlF4- and vanadate can increase Cl- secretion via simultaneous stimulation of Cl- channel and K+ channel in T84 cells. However, the AlF4- action is mostly attributed to stimulation of pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins, whereas the vanadate action mostly results from G protein-independent mechanisms.

Abstract
Intramolecular excimer formation of 1,3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane (Py-3-Py) and fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) were used to evaluate the effect of ethanol on the rate and range of the lateral mobility and the range of the rotational mobility of bulk bilayer structures of the plasma membrane vesicles (ATCC-PMV) isolated from cultured hybridoma cells (ATCC TIB 216). In a concentration-dependent manner, ethanol increased the excimer to monomer fluorescence intensity ratio (I'/I) of Py-3-Py in the ATCC-PMV and decreased the anisotropy (r), limiting anisotropy (r infinity) and order parameter (S) of DPH in the ATCC-PMV. This indicates that ethanol increased both the lateral and rotational mobility of the probes in the ATCC-PMV. Selective quenching of DPH by trinitrophenyl groups was utilized to examine the range of transbilayer asymmetric rotational diffusion of the ATCC-PMV. The anisotropy (r), limiting anisotropy (r infinity) and order parameter (S) of DPH in the inner monolayer were 0.024, 0.032, and 0.069, respectively, greater than calculated for the outer monolayer of the ATCC-PMV. Selective quenching of DPH by trinitrophenyl groups was also used to examine the transbilayer asymmetric effects of ethanol on the range of the rotational mobility of the ATCC-PMV. Ethanol had a greater increasing effect on the range of the rotational mobility of the outer monolayer as compared to the inner monolayer of the ATCC-PMV. It has been proven that ethanol exhibits a selective rather than nonselective fluidizing effect within the transbilayer domains of the ATCC-PMV.
