Abstract
BACKGROUND Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more useful as a decision-making and outcomes predictor tool. We have developed AI models to predict surgical complexity and the postoperative course in laparoscopic liver surgery for segments 7 and 8. METHODS We included patients with lesions located in segments 7 and 8 operated by minimally invasive liver surgery from an international multi-institutional database. We have employed AI models to predict surgical complexity and postoperative outcomes. Furthermore, we have applied SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to make the AI models interpretable. Finally, we analyzed the surgeries not converted to open versus those converted to open. RESULTS Overall, 585 patients and 22 variables were included. Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) showed the highest performance for predicting surgery complexity and Random Forest (RF) for predicting postoperative outcomes. SHAP detected that MLP and RF gave the highest relevance to the variables "resection type" and "largest tumor size" for predicting surgery complexity and postoperative outcomes. In addition, we explored between surgeries converted to open and non-converted, finding statistically significant differences in the variables "tumor location," "blood loss," "complications," and "operation time." CONCLUSION We have observed how the application of SHAP allows us to understand the predictions of AI models in surgical complexity and the postoperative outcomes of laparoscopic liver surgery in segments 7 and 8.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic inflammatory bowel diseases are characterized by inflammatory hyperperfusion of the intestinal wall in affected bowel segments. We applied a novel method to quantify color Doppler signals dynamically along a complete heart cycle inside the bowel wall. The aim was to describe bowel wall perfusion in Crohn disease patients in comparison with healthy probands and to compare a conventional activity index (Pediatric Crohn Disease Activity Index) with perfusion measurements as an indicator of inflammatory activity. METHOD Color Doppler sonographic videos of bowel wall perfusion from 34 healthy children (aged 5 to 18 years) and from 14 patients with Crohn disease (aged 8.2 to 15.9 years) were recorded under defined conditions. Perfusion signals (color hue, color area) were automatically measured inside the bowel wall. Specific tissue perfusion was calculated as mean flow velocity of a region of interest during one full heart cycle. Bowel wall perfusion was compared using the Pediatric Crohn Disease Activity Index in 12 patients. RESULTS Specific bowel wall perfusion was significantly elevated in bowel segments of Crohn disease patients compared with healthy subjects (P < 0.001). Specific flow in small bowel was 0.025 cm/s in healthy probands and 0.095 cm/s in patients with Crohn disease, whereas large bowel wall perfusion of 0.012 cm/s in healthy probands clearly differed from 0.082 cm/s in patients with Crohn disease. No differences of perfusion between moderate and high Pediatric Crohn Disease Activity Index levels could be demonstrated despite a weak significant overall correlation. CONCLUSION The new method of dynamic, automatic noninvasive perfusion quantification is useful to describe local inflammatory activity in bowel segments affected by Crohn disease and adds new information to activity evaluation by Pediatric Crohn Disease Activity Index. Specific wall perfusion in intestines of Crohn patients is significantly elevated and reaches up to sevenfold intensity compared with healthy subjects.

Abstract
In rat cerebrocortical synaptosomes, the addition of 4 beta-phorbol dibutyrate (4 beta-PDBu) and arachidonic acid enhances and decreases, respectively, the glutamate release evoked by 4-aminopyridine. Pretreatment of synaptosomes with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) or pre-incubation with staurosporine, prevent the stimulatory effect of 4 beta-PDBu, but are without effect on the inhibitory action of arachidonic acid. Moreover, methyl arachidonate, which is not effective as a PKC activator, also strongly inhibits glutamate exocytosis. These results suggest that PKC is not involved in the inhibition of glutamate release by arachidonic acid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyclic nucleotide analogue administration improves ischemia-reperfusion damage in several organs. The neuropeptide pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide, PACAP-38, is a potent stimulus to enhance cellular cAMP levels. This study tested the protective effect of enhancing endogenous cAMP levels by PACAP-38 in a model of warm renal ischemia. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats underwent 40 min of bilateral warm renal ischemia. PACAP-38 continuous infusion began either before ischemia or at 6 hr or 18 hr after ischemia. A mini-osmotic pump infused PACAP-38 throughout 7 days of follow-up. Groups were constructed with sham, ischemic control, and dibutyryl cAMP treated animals, and four PACAP-38 treatment groups, using 16 pmol/hr or 160 pmol/hr of the compound, or delaying its administration by 6 hr or 18 hr after ischemia. Renal function was assessed by means of serum creatinine levels on days 1, 2, 3, and 7 after ischemia. Conventional histology was performed on day 7. Renal myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, infiltrating CD45+ cells, plasma and tissue cAMP, and serum IL-6 were measured. RESULTS Continuous administration of the high concentration of PACAP-38 ameliorated renal function and morphologic abnormalities induced by warm ischemia. Treatment with dibutyryl cAMP produced morphologic protection but only partial functional effect on the ischemic kidney. A 6-hour delay in the administration of the compound after ischemia offered similar protective effect, whereas an 18-hr delay did not. The neuropeptide clearly increased circulating cAMP after ischemia but not cAMP in renal tissue. PACAP-38 increased circulating IL-6, and minimized renal inflammatory cell infiltration induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury, as evidenced by a reduction of MPO activity and the number of CD45+ cells in ischemic renal tissue. CONCLUSIONS Enhancement of endogenous circulating cAMP with PACAP-38 modulates postischemic inflammatory response and strongly protects from ischemic acute renal failure, even when administration is delayed for 6 hr after injury.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a potent scavenger of superoxide radicals produced during normothermic ischemia-reperfusion. Since it has a short half-life, its optimal effect is achieved when it is given prior to reperfusion. The inclusion of SOD in liposomes (lipo-SOD) prolongs its half-life (free SOD: 6 min; lipo-SOD: 4 h). The protective effect of lipo-SOD in a 60-min bilateral renal warm ischemia model was studied. We divided 60 male Wistar rats between two control groups and five study groups according to the drug used (SOD or lipo-SOD) and to the time of SOD administration (prior to ischemia or prior to reperfusion). SOD and lipo-SOD were both given at 20 mg/kg endovenously. Weight, diuresis, creatinine per 100 g (Cr/100 g), and creatinine clearance per 100 g (CrCl/100 g) were studied. Conventional renal histology was performed after reperfusion and on day 7. Renal malondialdehyde, 6 keto PGF 1 alpha, and TxB2 tissue levels were studied after reperfusion. Results showed that the renal protective effect of free SOD on warm ischemic-reperfusion injury depended on the time of administration, being more effective when given before reperfusion. On the other hand, the renal protective effect of liposomed SOD did not depend on the time of administration since efficacy was similar when given before reperfusion or before ischemia. The functional protective effect of liposomed SOD was similar to that of free SOD when they were given prior to reperfusion. Nevertheless, since histological damage observed with liposomed SOD was less than with free SOD, it is suggested that the liposomed galenic form may offer better protection against renal warm ischemia. In addition, liposomed SOD was better at preventing tissue prostanoid generation after renal warm ischemic-reperfusion injury than free SOD. We concluded that liposomed SOD shows a higher renal protective effect against warm ischemia than free SOD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The HIV-1 epidemics in Western Europe are dominated by B subtype viruses. Non-B subtype is largely restricted to individuals infected outside of Europe and to their direct contacts and is generally acquired by the heterosexual route. METHODS Protease and a segment of reverse transcriptase were amplified and sequenced from plasma RNA in 451 individuals from seven cities of Galicia, north-western Spain. Subtype sequence homologies were determined using the BLAST algorithm. Non-B sequences were examined by phylogenetic analysis and intersubtype recombination by bootscanning. The env V3 region was analysed in all non-B and in 38 B subtype viruses. RESULTS Ten different non-B genetic forms were identified in 20 (4.4%) individuals. Subtypes were concordant between pol and V3 in five viruses; 14 (70%) infections were with intersubtype recombinant viruses, and one individual had a dual B+G infection. Seven recombinant viruses were phylogenetically related to five reported recombinant forms. Three non-recombinant G and six recombinant BG viruses formed a monophyletic cluster for pol. All but three individuals with non-B infections were native Spanish. Only 6 of 16 individuals referred to sexual contacts with sub-Saharan Africans. Twelve (60%) non-B subtype infections, including all with G and BG viruses, were in injecting drug users (IDU). CONCLUSIONS Non-B subtype viruses were identified in 4.4%, with a high diversity of genetic forms, including 70% infections with intersubtype recombinant viruses. The majority of individuals with non-B infections were IDU, most of them without known contacts with non-European sources, and among whom BG recombinant viruses are circulating.

Abstract
The present study examined the long-term consequences of warm renal ischemia (WRI) with or without renal ablation. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were subjected to 60 min of complete WRI by pedicle clamping and then followed for 52 wk. Animals were organized into four groups: rats in which both kidneys were subjected to warm ischemia (2WIK); rats with left WRI and right nephrectomy (1WIK); uninephrectomized rats with a left nonischemic kidney (1NK); and sham-operated rats (2NK). Additional animals were studied at 24 h, 7 days, and 16 and 32 wk. In the first week after WRI, rats from the 2WIK and 1WIK groups displayed a similar degree of acute renal damage. After recovering from acute renal failure, 1WIK rats developed progressive and severe proteinuria, whereas it was mild in the 2WIK group, as well as in the 1NK and 2NK groups. Only animals from the 1WIK group developed severe chronic renal failure, glomerulosclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, and upregulation of transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) gene, which was associated with increased TGF-beta(1) protein expression in tubular epithelial cells, arterioles, and in areas of mononuclear interstitial cell infiltrate. On the contrary, long-term renal TGF-beta(1) expression, function, and histology were similar in 2WIK and 2NK rats. The present study shows that prolonged bilateral WRI, when both kidneys are retained in place, induces very mild long-term renal lesions as opposed to the severe renal scarring observed when WRI is combined with contralateral nephrectomy.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the possible contribution of presynaptic group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptor activation to changes in synaptic efficacy by means of analysis of glutamate release in hippocampal synaptosomes. Data were interpreted in the context of group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptor involvement in synaptic plasticity in the CA1 region of freely moving rats. In synaptosomes, 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine enhanced diacylglycerol formation and facilitated vesicular Ca(2+)-dependent glutamate release, whereas trans-azetidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid had no effect on these processes. Trans-azetidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid enhanced glutamate release, but in a Ca(2+)-independent manner. This effect was mimicked by the L-glutamate uptake inhibitor L-trans-pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid. (R,S)-alpha-Methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine blocked the effects of 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine, but not trans-azetidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid in synaptosomes. Short-term potentiation (100 Hz, three bursts of 10 stimuli, 0.1 ms stimulus duration, 10 s interburst interval) was induced in the CA1 region in vivo. The metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist 1S,3R-aminocyclopentane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid, or the group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptor agonists, 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine and trans-azetidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid, dose-dependently facilitated short-term potentiation into long-term potentiation, which lasted > 24 h. The facilitation was inhibited by the metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist, (R,S)-alpha-methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine, and the group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist, (S)-4-carboxy-phenylglycine, but not by the group 2 metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist, (R,S)-alpha-methylserine-O-phosphate monophenyl ester. L-Trans-pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid dose-dependently facilitated short-term potentiation into long-term potentiation, which lasted < 4 h. These data suggest that activation of group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors results in presynaptic modulation of glutamate release. This effect may contribute to group 1 metabotropic glutamate modulation of the expression of long-term potentiation in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The phospholipid platelet-activating factor (PAF) participates in the pathogenesis of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury, and in vitro, it induces synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins by mesangial and tubular epithelial cells. This study investigated the long-term effects of the potent orally active PAF antagonist UR-12670 in warm ischemic uninephrectomized rats, which was given according to different therapeutic schedules. METHODS Uninephrectomized male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups and were followed for 52 weeks: rats without ischemia (SK); ischemic kidney for 60 minutes (SIK); ischemic kidney and UR-12670 from 0 to the 7th day (UR 0-7); ischemic kidney and UR-12670 from day 0 to 52 weeks (UR 0-E); and ischemic kidney and UR-12670 from day 8 to week 52 (UR 8-E). Two more groups (ischemic and UR treated) served to evaluate the UR-12670-protective effect on ischemic acute renal failure at one week. RESULTS UR-12670 administration exerted functional and morphological protection against post-ischemic acute renal failure. The ischemic untreated (SIK) group developed progressive proteinuria from week 12. The onset of proteinuria in ischemic UR-12670-treated groups was delayed to the 24th week, and it was significantly lower than in SIK group throughout the study. Only SIK and ischemic-treated UR 0-7 rats presented with chronic renal failure, as shown by creatinine, creatinine clearance, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and renal plasma flow (GFR 52 weeks: SK, 2525 +/- 267; SIK, 992 +/- 149; UR 0-7, 1551 +/- 385 microliter/min). Kidneys from the short-term treated group (UR 0-7) showed a reduction of glomerulosclerosis (SK, 14.4 +/- 3.7; SIK, 75.7 +/- 7.7; UR 0-7, 41. 5 +/- 8.5%) and vascular myointimal hyperplasia, but the tubulointerstitial damage (tubulointerstitial score: SK, 0.2 +/- 0. 2; SIK, 4.4 +/- 0.5; UR 0-7, 3.7 +/- 0.7) was similar to that in the ischemic untreated group. Long-term ischemic treated rats (UR 0-E, UR 8-E) did not develop chronic renal failure (GFR: UR 0-E, 2059 +/- 314; UR 8-E, 2410 +/- 208 microliter/min). In these groups, glomerulosclerosis (UR 0-E, 32.8 +/- 5.8; UR 8-E, 24.3 +/- 3.0%), tubulointerstitial damage (tubulointerstitial score: UR 0-E, 2.1 +/- 0.5; UR 8-E, 1.9 +/- 0.3) and vascular myointimal hyperplasia were significantly lower than in the ischemic untreated group. By in situ hybridization, an increase of transforming growth factor-beta1 mRNA expression in glomerular and tubular cells was observed in ischemic untreated and ischemic treated UR 0-7 rats. UR-12670 long-term treated rats showed a clear reduction of transforming growth factor-beta1 mRNA-positive glomerular cells. CONCLUSION The chronic administration of the PAF antagonist UR-12670 attenuates the long-term effects of ischemia-reperfusion injury in uninephrectomized rats. The beneficial effect of this agent, even when given beyond the initial ischemia/reperfusion injury, suggests that PAF plays a role in the mechanisms of progression to late renal damage in this model.

Abstract
Preformed xenoreactive natural antibodies (XNA) and complement mediate hyperacute xenograft rejection (HXR) in pig-to-human discordant xenotransplantation. In a pig kidney-human blood xenoperfusion model, we investigated whether XNA depletion and/or human complement inactivation preserved early pig kidney function. Pig kidneys were perfused for 180 min with pig blood (AUTO group, n = 8), human blood (HETER group, n = 6), complement-inactivated human blood (COMi group, n = 5), XNA-depleted human blood (ABd group, n = 5) or complement-inactivated and XNA-depleted human blood (ABd&COMi group, n = 5). HETER kidneys were rejected after 15-30 min and showed vascular microthrombi and interstitial hemorrhages. XNA depletion and/or complement inactivation prevented HXR. The glomerular filtration rate in ABd, COMi and ABd&COMi groups was significantly lower than in the AUTO group. Also, beyond 60 min, the COMi group showed a significantly lower glomerular filtration rate than that observed in ABd and ABd&COMi groups. Kidneys from ABd, COMi and ABd&COMi groups displayed endothelial cell edema, as well as higher soluble P-selectin levels and a higher renal myeloperoxidase content than the AUTO group kidneys. COMi and ABd&COMi groups had a significantly lower renal myeloperoxidase level than the HETER group. Also, in contrast to HETER and ABd groups, these complement-inactivated groups failed to show a positive correlation between P-selectin and renal myeloperoxidase. We also investigated platelet-activating factor (PAF) as possible mediator for these functional and pathologic changes. We found that blood PAF levels were similar in HETER, ABd, COMi and ABd&COMi groups and significantly higher than in the AUTO group. Also, when PAF was added to porcine endothelial cell monolayers, morphological changes due to cytoskeleton contraction were observed, and these changes were prevented by preincubation with a PAF receptor antagonist. In conclusion, although depletion of XNA and/or complement inactivation prevent HXR, the pig kidney function is not preserved at the level of the autologous combination. The PAF overproduction observed in the xenogenic combination, which is independent of the presence of XNA and complement, may be, at least in part, responsible for early endothelial cell morphological changes still present when HXR is prevented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelin (ET) is known to play a role in the pathogenesis of warm ischaemic renal damage, however, little is known about its involvement in renal cold ischaemia. This study was designed to investigate the response of ET after kidney cold ischaemia, and to assess the potential protective effect of bosentan, a dual, non-selective ET(A)/ET(B) receptor antagonist, against cold ischaemia reperfusion injury in a rat model of syngeneic renal transplantation. METHODS Kidneys from Lewis rats were transplanted, either immediately or after 5 h of cold preservation. After 48 h, contralateral nephrectomy was performed. Rats were organized into three groups: Tr-NoISC, no cold ischaemia; Tr-ISC, 5 h cold ischaemia; and Tr-BOS, 5 h cold ischaemia plus bosentan (100 mg/kg/day, from the day before transplantation until the seventh day post-transplantation). On day 7, plasma and tissue immunoreactive ET (irET), as well as ET mRNA tissue expression, were evaluated. Renal function was measured by means of serum creatinine on days 3, 4, 5 and 7, and by creatinine clearance on day 7. Conventional histology was performed. RESULTS The ischaemic group had significantly higher plasma irET levels than the non-ischaemic group and significantly lower levels than the bosentan group. Tissue irET levels and ET mRNA expression were similar in the ischaemic and bosentan groups and were higher than in the non-ischaemic group. Throughout the follow-up, serum creatinine was significantly higher in the ischaemic group than in the bosentan group. Moreover, creatinine decreased rapidly in the bosentan group after nephrectomy, whereas it continued to increase for 48 h in the ischaemic group. Kidneys from the ischaemic group showed a higher degree of tubular-cell necrosis and epithelial-cell detachment than kidneys from the bosentan group. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that cold ischaemia and preservation damage induces an increase in renal ET mRNA and irET expression in the reperfusion phase, contributing both to the deterioration of renal function and to tubular necrosis. Bosentan is effective in protecting kidneys from this cold ischaemia reperfusion damage. Non-selective ET(A)/ET(B) receptor antagonists might be potentially useful in clinical renal transplantation.

Abstract
In this study we have addressed the identification of the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) involved in the facilitation of glutamate release in nerve terminals from the cerebral cortex. mGluR1 and 5 are coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis and the activation of these receptors with the specific agonist 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) enhances the release of glutamate. We have examined whether mGluR1 is responsible for this modulatory effect by preparing nerve terminals from mGluR 1 deficient mice. The Ca2+-dependent glutamate release evoked by a submaximal depolarization is enhanced by the agonist DHPG in nerve terminals from both wild and mutant mice. This result is consistent with the finding that the mGluR agonist also induces a similar increase in the levels of diacylglycerol (DAG) in the nerve terminals from wild and mutant mice. Moreover, the activity-dependent switch from facilitation to inhibition of release, observed when a second stimulation of the receptor is applied shortly after (5 min) the first pulse, was also observed in the mutant mice. These results indicate therefore, that the facilitation of glutamate release is unlikely to be due to the activation of mGluR1 but related to another phosphoinositide coupled mGluR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma is not fully understood, particularly regarding therapy, we have evaluated it in a series of patients with a homogeneous diagnostic and therapeutic work-up. METHODS From 1985 to 1996, 42 variables were recorded prospectively in 178 constructive patients who had a diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Treatment consisted of liver transplantation ( n = 22), partial hepatectomy (n = 11), arterial, chemoembolization ( n = 52), systemic or regional chemotherapy (n = 51), and other therapies (n = 5); 37 patients received no specific therapy. Statistical analysis was performed according to a Cox model. RESULTS There were no differences between the survival of patients receiving chemotherapy, other therapies, or no treatment (control group n = 93). survival rates a 1,3, and 5 years were 81%, 74%, and 74% for liver transplantation, 72%, 58%, and 58% for hepatectomy, 55%, 26%, and 13% for chemoembolization, and 13%, 3%, and 0% for the control group. Cirrhosis, systemic syndrome, bilobar involvement, Child's stage C disease, and treatment were independent predictors of survival. CONCLUSIONS This series shows that certain easily accessible parameters may help establish individual prognosis and stratify patients in clinical trials and indicates that chemoembolization, partial resection, and liver transplantation can prolong life expectancy of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
In pig to human discordant xenotransplantation, PAF may contribute to the pathogenesis of hyperacute xenograft rejection (HXR). We examined the release of PAF and the effect of a PAF receptor antagonist (BN 52021) on HXR in a pig kidney-human blood xenoperfusion model. Pig kidneys were perfused with porcine blood (AUTO group, n = 5), human blood (HETER group, n = 6) or human blood plus BN 52021 (BN group, n = 4), respectively. In contrast to HETER kidneys that never produced urine and were rejected in 15-30 min, the administration of BN 52021 induced a partial recovery of glomerular filtration rate and allowed kidneys to function until the end of the study. The release of PAF and soluble P-selectin, as well as endothelial P-selectin expression and tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO), were much higher in the HETER than in the AUTO group. HETER and BN kidneys displayed similar natural xenoantibody titres, CH50, PAF, soluble P-selectin as well as renal immunoglobulin (IgM, IgG, IgA) and complement (C3, C1q) deposition. However, HETER kidneys displayed a full histologic picture of HXR (mainly interstitial haemorrhage and vascular microthrombi) and BN kidneys had only endothelial cell swelling. Also, BN 52021 administration attenuated glomerular and vascular P-selectin expression and renal tissue MPO activity. We conclude that in the pig kidney-human blood xenoperfusion model, PAF is produced in higher amounts than in the pig kidney-pig blood autologous combination. The administration of BN 52021 exerts a protective effect by means of attenuating the acute inflammatory response and blocking vascular microthrombi formation.

Abstract
We have investigated the role of metabotropic glutamate receptors linked to phosphoinositide hydrolysis in the control of glutamate release in cerebrocortical nerve terminals. The activation of these receptors with the agonist 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine enhanced intra-synaptosomal diacylglycerol and facilitated both the depolarization-induced increase in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration and the release of glutamate. However, 5 min after receptor activation, a second stimulation of the pathway with the agonist failed to produce diacylglycerol and to facilitate glutamate release. Interestingly, during the period in which the diacylglycerol response was desensitized, a strong agonist-induced inhibition of Ca2+ entry and glutamate release was observed. This change in the presynaptic effects of 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine is reversible since 30 min after the first stimulation, the agonist-induced inhibition of release disappeared, whereas both the production of diacylglycerol and the facilitation of glutamate release were recovered. The tonic elevation of the extracellular glutamate concentration from basal levels (0.8 microM) up to 5 microM also produced the switch from facilitation to inhibition in the receptor response. The existence of this activity-dependent switch in the presynaptic control of glutamate release suggests that release facilitation is limited to conditions under which an appropriate clearance of synaptic glutamate exists, probably to prevent the neurotoxic accumulation of glutamate in the synapse.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to evaluate whether the renal damage induced by cold ischemia-reperfusion was worsened by neutrophils (PMN), and if blockade of platelet-activating factor (PAF) could effectively decrease this injury. After flushing with EuroCollins, 85 kidneys from Sprague-Dawley rats underwent either no cold ischemia or a 4-h cold ischemia, and then were reperfused for 75 min at 37 degrees C and 100 mm Hg in an isolated perfusion circuit. Reperfusion was performed with a Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 4.5% albumin, with and without human PMN (7.5 x 10(5) cells/ml) and with and without addition of a PAF receptor antagonist (BN 52021). Hemodynamic and functional parameters were continuously assessed during reperfusion. At end of the study, PAF production was evaluated. Presence of PMN during reperfusion of nonischemic kidneys produced no alteration of functional parameters or PAF production. After 4-h cold ischemia, the presence of PMN during reperfusion produced a significant worsening of plasma flow rate, glomerular filtration rate and sodium reabsorption in comparison with kidneys reperfused without PMN. Also, higher production of PAF was observed in the kidneys reperfused with PMN than in the kidneys reperfused without PMN. After 4-h cold ischemia, addition of BN 52021 during reperfusion in the presence of PMN significantly increased the plasma flow rate, glomerular filtration rate and sodium reabsorption in comparison with kidneys reperfused without this PAF antagonist. This effect was dose dependent. After 4-h cold ischemia, addition of BN 52021 during reperfusion in the absence of PMN produced no significant effect on functional parameters in comparison with kidneys reperfused without this PAF antagonist. These results indicate that PMN contribute to renal cold ischemia-reperfusion injury evaluated in the isolated perfused kidney. Treatment with a PAF receptor antagonist attenuated this injury in a dose-dependent manner, which suggests that it is mediated by PAF.

Abstract
The total Ca(2+)-dependent release of glutamate induced by depolarization of cerebrocortical nerve terminals with KCl was analyzed into a fast and a slow component. The fast component exhibited a decay time of < 1 s and accounted for 0.95 +/- 0.10 nmol of glutamate, whereas the slow component, which exhibited a decay time of 52 +/- 7 s, accounted for the release of 2.48 +/- 0.19 nmol of glutamate. These two components were differentially affected by the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA, the divalent cation Sr2+, or the botulinum neurotoxin A. The adenosine A1 receptor agonist N6-cyclohexyladenosine strongly reduced the fast component without altering the slow component. In contrast, the inhibitory effect of arachidonic acid and the facilitatory action of the metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist (1S, 3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1, 3-dicarboxylic acid were observed as a decrease and an increase, respectively, in the two components. It is concluded, first, that the fast and slow components correspond to the release of docked and mobilized vesicles, respectively, and second, that presynaptic modulation more significantly alters the fast component of release.

Abstract
We have investigated the presence of a cAMP-protein kinase A-dependent pathway in cerebrocortical nerve terminals and its role in the modulation of glutamate release. The activation of adenylyl cyclase with forskolin enhances intrasynaptosomal cAMP and induces Ca2+-dependent glutamate release. The membrane permeant analogue dibutyryl cAMP mimics this facilitatory effect, whereas the inactive compound 1,9-dideoxyforskolin is without effect. This cAMP-induced facilitation is consistent with the induction of spontaneous action potentials that are abolished by the Na+ channel blocker tetrodotoxin and by reducing nerve terminal excitability with arachidonic acid. We have also demonstrated that a beta-adrenergic receptor is linked to this pathway because isoproterenol increases cAMP levels and glutamate release, and both actions are antagonized by the receptor antagonist propanolol and the protein kinase A inhibitors H89 and 8-chloroadenosine 3',5'-monophosphorothioate ((Rp)-isomer). The finding that the increase in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration induced by synaptic activity reduces the concentration of agonist required to maximally activate adenylyl cyclase suggests that this enzyme may act as a coincidence detector, integrating glutamatergic neurotransmission and noradrenaline release.

Abstract
When a typical glutamate-containing neurone fires, an action potential is propagated down the branching axon through more than a thousand varicosities. At each of these release sites the probability that a synaptic vesicle will be exocytosed into the synaptic cleft is individually controlled by means of presynaptic receptors: autoreceptors responding by positive or negative feedback to previously released transmitter, or heteroreceptors under the influence of other neurotransmitters or modulators. The simplest system in which to investigate presynaptic modulation is the isolated nerve terminal or synaptosome; studies with this preparation have revealed a complex interplay of signal-transduction pathways.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanism of the inhibition of glutamate release by (L)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate ((L)-AP4) in cerebrocortical nerve terminals from young rats (3 weeks of age). The Ca(2+)-dependent release of glutamate was reduced by (L)-AP4 in a concentration-dependent manner. This inhibitory effect was prevented by pertussis toxin, insensitive to staurosporine and associated with a reduction both in the depolarization-evoked increase in the cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) and in forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation. However, the reduction in [Ca(2+)](c) but not in cAMP seemed to be responsible for the decrease in release, since inhibition by (L)-AP4 can also be observed in the absence of detectable changes in cAMP The inhibitory modulation by (L)-AP4 was suppressed by the activation of protein kinase C with phorbol esters. The nerve terminals from young rats also exhibited a facilitatory pathway of glutamate release which was mediated by protein kinase C. Interestingly, stimulation of this pathway with the glutamate agonist (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate in the presence of arachidonic acid also abolished the inhibitory action of (L)-AP4. The dominance of the facilitatory pathway in its interaction with the (L)-AP4-mediated inhibitory control may provide some clues to understand the presynaptic changes during synaptic plasticity.

Abstract
In order to determine whether treatment of animals with an n-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), could modify renal hemodynamics and physiology after normothermic ischemia, we studied 42 Spraque Dawley rats orally supplemented with either olive oil or a purified lysine salt of EPA for 4 weeks. Four experimental groups were established. Three groups were treated with increasing doses of EPA: 20 mg/kg per day (EPA 20), 40 mg/kg per day (EPA 40) and 80 mg/kg per day (EPA 80), and one group was supplemented with isovolumetric olive oil (OLI). A control group that received neither EPA nor ischemia was also studied. On day 28, right nephrectomy was performed, followed by 30 min of left renal warm ischemia. Basal arterial pressure and renal blood flow (RBF) were monitored in two kidneys before arterial occlusion and continuously thereafter throughout the experiment in one kidney using an electronic transducer and a flowmeter. From 60 to 120 min after the end of ischemia, urine output (microliter/min), glomerular filtration rate (GFR, microliter/min), measured by inulin clearance, and fractional reabsortion of sodium (FRNa) were determined every 20 min. Renal plasma flow (RPF, ml/min) and renal vascular resistance (VR, mm Hg/ml per min) were calculated. RPF was estimated as RBF (1-hematocrit). Before ischemia, the mean RPF and RBF were higher in EPA-fed than in olive oil-fed animals and after ischemia showed a significantly greater increase in EPA-fed animals than in olive oil-fed animals. Mean VR was lower in EPA-fed animals than in olive oil-fed animals, both before arterial occlusion and after ischemia. Mean urine output was similar in the OLI and EPA 20 groups, and significantly higher in the EPA 40 and EPA 80 groups than in the control group. GFR was significantly lower in the OLI and EPA 20 groups than in the control group. Finally, the EPA 40 group showed a similar and the EPA 80 group a slightly higher GFR than the control group. We conclude that EPA supplementation provides protection from renal ischemic-reperfusion injury, and this effect is more evident at higher EPA doses.

Abstract
We have addressed the role of presynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptors in the control of glutamate release from cerebrocortical nerve terminals. The metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid enhances the release evoked by a submaximal depolarization in the presence of low concentrations of arachidonic acid and in a staurosporine-sensitive manner. In contrast, (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid and L(+)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate inhibit the release evoked by a maximal depolarization, in the absence of arachidonic acid and by a staurosporine-insensitive mechanism. Interestingly, the effects of the metabotropic glutamate receptors that inhibit glutamate release are only observed in the nerve terminals from young rats (one to three weeks), while the facilitatory effects are better seen in latter developmental stages (three to four weeks) and adult (two to three months) rats, coinciding with the development of the maximal capacity of glutamate uptake. These results indicate the existence of important developmental changes in the presynaptic control of glutamate release.

Abstract
We have investigated the interaction between facilitatory and inhibitory metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and the inhibitory adenosine A1 receptor in cerebrocortical nerve terminals from young (3 weeks postnatal) rats. The adenosine A1 receptor agonist N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA) (1 microM) and the mGluR agonist L-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate (L-AP4) (100 microM) inhibited Ca(2+)-dependent release of glutamate evoked by depolarization of synaptosomes with 30 mM KCl to 33 +/- 6 and 30 +/- 4% of control values, respectively. The CHA and L-AP4 inhibition of release was consistent with the reduction of a component of Ca2+ entry in nerve terminals which was also sensitive to omega-Aga-IVA. When the inhibitory agonists were co-applied at optimal concentrations, no additivity of the inhibitory effects on either glutamate release or [Ca2+]c was observed. The nerve terminals from young rats also exhibit the facilitatory pathway for glutamate release that is observed during 4-aminopyridine-evoked depolarization after stimulation of mGluRs with the agonist (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate (ACPD) in the presence of arachidonic acid (AA). The addition of ACPD or AA alone did not alter the ability of CHA and L-AP4 to reduce the release, however the co-application of AA and ACPD abolished the inhibitory effect induced by CHA and L-AP4 whether alone or in combination. These results indicate the co-existence of the three modulatory pathways of glutamate release and the dominant role of the ACPD/AA activated facilitatory pathway in its interaction with the inhibitory pathways activated by L-AP4 and CHA.

Abstract
The renal preservation ability of a flushing solution (F-M) with fructose-1,6-diphosphate (1 g/dl) and mannitol (2 g/dl) during cold ischaemia was studied with the isolated perfused rat kidney model and compared with the Euro-Collins (EC) and University of Wisconsin (UW) solutions. Kidneys were stored in hypothermia for 4 and 18 h after initial flushing with the solution being tested, and then reperfused at 37 degrees C in an isolated perfusion circuit for 90 min with a Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 4.5% albumin. Forty-four kidneys were studied and divided in a control group and six study groups according to the cold ischaemia time and flushing solution used. Renal functional parameters of plasma flow rate (PFR), renal vascular resistance (RVR), urine flow rate (UFR) glomerular filtration rate (GFR), fractional (FRNa) and net (TNa) sodium reabsortion were assessed during reperfusion. Conventional histology and malondialdehyde tissue levels (MDA) were also evaluated. Our results show that PFR, RVR, and UFR were similar in all study groups. After 4 and 18 h of cold ischaemia, GFR, FRNa and TNa were better, and conventional histology worse in F-M than in EC flushed kidneys. After 4 and 18 h of cold ischaemia, GFR, FRNa and TNa, in fact, were not different between F-M and UW flushed kidneys. After 4 h of cold ischaemia, conventional histology was similar in F-M and UW flushed kidneys. Nevertheless, after 18 h of cold ischaemia, UW flushed kidneys showed worse histological parameters than F-M flushed kidneys. After 4 h of cold ischaemia, MDA was similar in kidneys flushed with three solutions. After 18 h of cold ischaemia MDA was higher in EC than in F-M or UW flushed kidneys. In summary, our newly developed cold storage solution shows promising results in renal preservation and its ability to preserve is at least as good as UW solution assessed in the isolated perfused rat kidney.

Abstract
Ciclosporin (CS-A) has recently been considered a separate risk factor for the development of hyperlipidemia in transplant patients. In the present work, the effect of chronic CS-A administration on serum lipids and its modification using dietary supplementation with LSL 90202, a lysine salt of eicosapentaenoic acid, was studied. Thirty-one male Wistar rats were divided into four groups, receiving (1) 20 mg/kg CS-A in olive oil (CS-A group; n = 8); (2) isovolumetric olive oil (olive oil groups; n = 8); (3) 20 mg/kg CS-A in olive oil plus 20 mg/kg LSL 90202 (CS-A + LSL 20 group;) and (4) 20 mg/kg CS-A in olive oil plus 40 mg/kg LSL 90202 (CS-A+LSL 40 group; n = 8). Both, CS-A and LSL 90202 were given by daily gavage. On day 28, CS-A whole-blood levels and serum levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol fractions (HDL, HDL-2, HDL-3, non-HDL), and malondialdehyde were measured. On day 28, the rats given CS-A showed significantly higher cholesterol, triglyceride, and non-HDL cholesterol serum levels than rats given olive oil. Rats given CS-A and LSL 90202 (20 mg/kg) showed significantly lower triglyceride serum levels than rats given CS-A only. Rats given CS-A and LSL 90202 (40 mg/kg) showed significantly lower triglyceride, total cholesterol, and non-HDL cholesterol serum levels than rats given CS-A only. There were no differences in HDL, HDL-2, and HDL-3 cholesterol serum levels between the groups. The CS-A whole-blood levels were not different between groups of animals given CS-A.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
4-Aminopyridine evokes repetitive firing of synaptosomes and exocytosis of glutamate by inhibiting a dendrotoxin-sensitive K+ channel responsible for stabilizing the membrane potential. We have shown previously that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by high concentrations of phorbol ester (4 beta-phorbol dibutyrate) can increase release by inhibiting a dendrotoxin-insensitive ion channel, whereas the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonist (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate [(1S,3R)-ACPD] mimics the action of 4 beta-phorbol dibutyrate, but only in the presence of 2 microM arachidonic acid (AA). In this article, we investigate the role of AA. AA plus (1S,3R)-ACPD is without effect on KCl-induced glutamate exocytosis, indicating that the regulatory pathway acts upstream of the release-coupled Ca2+ channel or Ca(2+)-secretion coupling. Diacylglycerol concentrations are greatly enhanced by (1S,3R)-ACPD alone, independently of AA, indicating that AA acts downstream of phospholipase C. Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) is the major presynaptic substrate for PKC. mGluR activation by (1S,3R)-ACPD enhances phosphorylation of MARCKS, but only in the presence of AA. These results strongly suggest that AA acts on presynaptic PKC synergistically with diacylglycerol generated by the phospholipase-coupled mGluR, consistent with the known behaviour of certain purified PKC isoforms. The magnitude of the effects observed in a population of rat cerebrocortical synaptosomes suggests that this is a major mechanism regulating the release of the brain's dominant excitatory neurotransmitter and supports the concept that AA, or a related compound with a similar locus of action, may in certain circumstances play a role in synaptic plasticity.

Abstract
The role of arachidonic acid in the facilitation of glutamate release by the metabotropic glutamate receptor, mGluR, agonist (1S,3R)-1-amino-cyclo-pentane-1,3-dicarboxylate ((1S,3R)-ACP), was investigated in cerebrocortical nerve terminals from adult rats. mGluR activation with the agonist (1S,3R)-ACPD involved a transient increase in the intrasynaptosomal concentration of diacylglycerol that was not altered by the presence of arachidonic acid either in polarized synaptosomes, or in synaptosomes depolarized with 4-aminopyridine. These results suggest that the locus of the arachidonic acid action in the facilitation of glutamate release is downstream of the metabotropic glutamate receptor in the signal transduction pathway.

Abstract
The Ca(2+)-dependent release of glutamate induced by 4-aminopyridine in synaptosomes prepared both from the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia was unchanged in aged rats (27-30 months) when compared to adults rats (3 months). Consistent with the absence of changes in glutamate exocytosis during aging, the rise in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration, [Ca2+]c, induced by depolarization in synaptosomes from aged rats was similar to that found in control adult rats. The results suggest that during aging the nerve terminals from the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia maintain an intact ability to release glutamate by exocytosis.

Abstract
Cyclosporine (CsA) nephrotoxicity is partially mediated by renal vasoconstriction due to an imbalance between vasodilator and vasoconstrictor eicosanoids. LSL 90202 is a purified lysine salt of eicosapentaenoic acid which is a known inhibitor of renal eicosanoid synthesis. The aim of the present work was to determine if chronic dietary supplementation with LSL 90202 prevented CsA nephrotoxicity and to establish the role of thromboxane and prostacyclin in renal tissue. Thirty-three male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups: group 1, CsA in olive oil (n = 10); group 2, isovolumetric olive oil (n = 7); group 3, CsA in olive oil plus LSL 90202 (n = 8); group 4, isovolumetric olive oil plus LSL 90202 (n = 8). CsA and LSL 90202 were given at 20 mg/kg/day. Weight and creatinine clearance (CrCl) were determined before and on days 14 and 30. On day 30 whole-blood CsA was determined and renal tissue processed for renal malondialdehyde, thromboxane B2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha measurement and for conventional histology. CrCl was severely reduced in the CsA in olive oil group compared to olive oil and LSL 90202 control groups. On day 30, CrCl in the CsA in olive oil plus LSL 90202 group showed a slight decrease, but the mean CrCl was significantly higher than in the CsA in olive oil group. Trough whole blood CsA levels were not significantly different in both groups given the drug. No morphological differences were found between groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
