Abstract
BACKGROUND Expert recommendations propose the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0 as a core outcome measure in surgical studies, yet data on its long-term measurement properties remain limited. These were evaluated in a secondary analysis of the Measurement of Exercise Tolerance before Surgery (METS) prospective cohort. METHODS Participants were adults (40 years of age or older) who underwent inpatient non-cardiac surgery. The 12-item WHODAS and EQ-5DTM-3L questionnaires were administered preoperatively (in person) and 1 year postoperatively (by telephone). Responsiveness was characterized using standardized response means (SRMs) and correlation coefficients between change scores. Construct validity was evaluated using correlation coefficients between 1-year scores and comparisons of WHODAS scores across clinically relevant subgroups. RESULTS The analysis included 546 patients. There was moderate correlation between changes in WHODAS and various EQ-5DTM subscales. The strongest correlation was between changes in WHODAS and changes in the functional domains of the EQ-5D-3L-for example, mobility (Spearman's rho 0.40, 95 per cent confidence interval [c.i.] 0.32 to 0.48) and usual activities (rho 0.45, 95 per cent c.i. 0.30 to 0.52). When compared across quartiles of EQ-5D index change, median WHODAS scores followed expected patterns of change. In subgroups with expected functional status changes, the WHODAS SRMs ranged from 'small' to 'large' in the expected directions of change. At 1 year, the WHODAS demonstrated convergence with the EQ-5D-3L functional domains, and good discrimination between patients with expected differences in functional status. CONCLUSION The WHODAS questionnaire has construct validity and responsiveness as a measure of functional status at 1 year after major surgery.

Abstract
A range of somatostatin (SRIF) analogues have been used to characterize the SRIF receptor-mediating contraction of the human saphenous vein. SRIF produced concentration-dependent contractions with an EC50 value of approximately 20 nM. The peptidase inhibitors phosphoramidon and amastatin did not alter the potency of SRIF. The sst2 receptor-selective peptide BIM-23027 was approximately three times more potent than SRIF in contracting the vein, whereas the sst5 receptor-selective peptide L-362855 was approximately 50 times weaker. The sst3 receptor-selective peptide BIM-23056 did not contract the saphenous vein. Contractions to SRIF were not antagonised by the putative SRIF receptor blocker cyclo(7-aminoheptanoyl-Phe-D Trp-Lys-Thr[Bzl]) (CPP), phentolamine, or indomethacin. Decreasing the external calcium concentration reduced the maximum contraction to SRIF in a concentration-dependent manner without altering the EC50 value. Nifedipine and verapamil also markedly reduced the SRIF-induced contraction. SRIF and several SRIF analogues caused contraction of the human saphenous vein by what appeared to be a direct effect on the smooth muscle. Their relative potencies suggest that their effects were mediated by a somatostatin receptor that is like the recombinant sst2 receptor. The receptor transduction mechanism appears to involve activation of L-type calcium channels and entry of extracellular calcium.

Abstract
1. Somatostatin (SRIF) causes a concentration-dependent inhibition of neurotransmission in guinea-pig ileum and vas deferens as well as negative inotropy in guinea-pig isolated right atrium. The SRIF receptors mediating these effects have now been further characterized by use of the peptides BIM-23027, BIM-23056 and L-362855, reported as selective for the recombinant SRIF receptor types, sst2, sst3 and sst5, respectively. 2. BIM-23027 was a highly potent agonist at causing an inhibition of neurotransmission in the guinea-pig ileum (EC50 value 1.9 nM), being about 3 times more potent than SRIF (EC50 value 6.8 nM). In contrast, in both guinea-pig vas deferens and right atrial preparations, BIM-23027 was a relatively weak agonist being at least 30-100 times weaker than SRIF. In guinea-pig atria, BIM-23027 (3 microM) antagonized the negative inotropic action of SRIF28 (apparent pKB = 5.9 +/- 0.1) but had no effect on the negative inotropic action of cyclohexyladenosine. 3. The inhibitory effect of BIM-23027 in the guinea-pig ileum was readily desensitized. Prior exposure to BIM-23027 (0.3 microM) markedly attenuated the inhibitory effect of SRIF but had no effect on the inhibitory action of clonidine suggesting that BIM-23027 and SRIF act via a common receptor mechanism. 4. L-362855 caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of neurotransmission in both the guinea-pig ileum and vas deferens as well as causing negative inotropy in the guinea-pig atrium but was at least 30-100 times weaker than SRIF. In guinea-pig isolated atria, L-362855 (3 microM) did not antagonize the negative inotropic action of SRIF28. 5. BIM-23056 in concentrations up to 1 microM was inactive as an agonist in guinea-pig isolated ileum, vas deferens and atrium and did not antagonize the inhibitory actions of SRIF in any of these preparations.6. The results from this study support our previous contention that the sst2 receptor type mediates inhibition of neurotransmission by SRIF in the guinea-pig ileum. The SRIF receptor type mediating inhibition of neurotransmission in the guinea-pig vas deferens appears different, but similar, to that mediating negative inotropy in the atrium. However the characteristics of these latter receptors appear different from that of the recombinant sst2, sst3 and sst5 receptors for SRIF described for rat and man.

Abstract
1. Somatostatin14 (SS14) inhibits neurogenically mediated contractile responses in guinea-pig ileum and vas deferens and exerts a direct negative inotropic action in guinea-pig spontaneously beating right atrium. In this study, the receptors mediating these inhibitory effects have been characterized by comparing the potencies of several cyclic somatostatin analogues. 2. In the guinea-pig ileum, SS14, somatostatin28 (SS28), somatostatin25 (SS25) and several smaller cyclic somatostatin analogues including octreotide, angiopeptin and CGP 23996, inhibited neurogenically mediated contractile responses, each being of similar potency. 3. In contrast, in the guinea-pig vas deferens and right atrium, SS28 was about 30 times more potent than SS14. However, although angiopeptin was nearly as potent as SS14 as an agonist in the vas deferens, in guinea-pig atrium angiopeptin had low intrinsic activity and antagonized the negative inotropic action of both SS14 and SS28 (pKB values of 7.4 and 7.2, respectively). CGP 23996 was 2-7 times weaker than SS14 in guinea-pig vas deferens and atria. 4. Phosphoramidon (1 microM) and amastatin (10 microM) did not influence the potency of SS14 or SS28 in either the guinea-pig ileum or right atrium. In the guinea-pig vas deferens, phosphoramidon and amastatin did not affect the potency of SS28, but enhanced the potency of SS14 about 5 fold. Despite the presence of phosphoramidon and amastatin, SS28 was still more potent than SS14 in the vas deferens. 5. The putative somatostatin receptor blocking drug, cyclo(7-aminoheptanoyl Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr[Brl]) (CPP; 1 microM), did not antagonize the effects of either SS14 or SS28 in ileum, vas deferens or atrial preparations. 6. Somatostatin14 did not modify the contractile action of carbachol or alpha,beta-methylene ATP in the ileum and vas deferens respectively, suggesting that the site of the inhibitory effects on neurogenically mediated contractile responses in both preparations was pre-junctional. Consistent with this conclusion was the observation that the inhibitory effect of SS14 was markedly and inversely related to the external Ca2+concentration. The inhibitory effect of SS14 in guinea-pig atrium was only partly dependent on the external Ca2+ concentration.7. The somatostatin receptors mediating the inhibitory effect of SS14 in the ileum and vas deferens can be distinguished by the differential relative potencies of SS14 and SS28. In the former, SS14 and SS28 have similar potency whilst in the latter SS28 is much more potent. In this respect, the somatostatin receptor mediating negative inotropy in the guinea-pig right atrium appears similar to that identified in the vas deferens.8. We suggest that the somatostatin receptor mediating inhibition of neurogenic contraction in the ileum is similar to the recently cloned SSTR2 receptor. In contrast, the somatostatin receptor mediating negative inotropy in the atrium and inhibition of neurotransmission in the vas deferens appears similar to the SSTR4 receptor which recognises SS28 with higher affinity than SS14.

Abstract
Somatostatin (SS) exerts a negative inotropic effect in isolated atria. Here we report that in guinea-pig isolated right atria, seglitide, a potent cyclic hexapeptide somatostatin agonist, behaves as a competitive somatostatin receptor antagonist with pA2 values against SS14, SS25 and SS28, of 6.50 +/- 0.40, 6.24 +/- 0.08 and 6.09 +/- 0.06, respectively. Seglitide had little or no effect on the negative inotropic action of carbachol or N6-cyclohexyladenosine. Our findings indicate that the receptor-response coupling characteristics of guinea-pig atria are such that in this preparation seglitide has low intrinsic activity and behaves specifically as a somatostatin receptor antagonist.
