The actions of neuropeptides on dorsal horn neurons in the rat spinal cord slice preparation: an intracellular study.

Responses of dorsal horn neurons to bath application of substance P, somatostatin and enkephalin were studied by intracellular recording in the neonatal spinal cord slice preparation. Substance P depolarized dorsal horn neurons and increased their excitability. The depolarization was most commonly associated with an increase in neuronal input resistance. Somatostatin and enkephalin hyperpolarized dorsal horn neurons and caused reduction or abolition of spontaneous firing. While the hyperpolarization produced by enkephalin was always associated with a fall in neuronal input resistance, in the case of somatostatin the similar effect was less consistently observed.

Surgical treatment of thoracic aneurysm in a hemodialysis-dependent patient: a case report.

A 53-year-old woman who was on hemodialysis underwent the resection of an aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta as well as graft replacement. The operation was performed with the aid of femoro-femoral bypass perfusion and an artificial kidney inserted on the venous side of bypass line. Although the perfusion time was short, the uremic metabolic substance was efficiently removed, resulting in easy management after surgery.
