A simple model of delay, block and one way conduction in Purkinje fibers.

A simple qualitative model of the cardiac Purkinje fiber is introduced for the purpose of numerical simulation of experiments on conduction of the cardiac impulse. Well known approximation techniques are used to illustrate the behavior of the model membrane in the cases of space clamp and propagation of traveling pulses in a uniform infinite fiber. The results of the numerical simulations are then presented, and shown to be comparable to experiment.

Differentiation of cardiac conducting cells from the neural crest.

Some of the cells that migrate to the dorsal myocardium of the chick embryo in stage 21 H-H begin to synthesize desmin. They retain this property even when they reach the subendothelial layers of the heart bud, i.e. the characteristic site of the cardiac conducting cells.

Implementation of a fast 16-Bit dynamic clamp using LabVIEW-RT.

The dynamic-clamp method provides a powerful electrophysiological tool for creating virtual ionic conductances in living cells and studying their influence on membrane potential. Here we describe G-clamp, a new way to implement a dynamic clamp using the real-time version of the Lab-VIEW programming environment together with a Windows host, an embedded microprocessor that runs a real-time operating system and a multifunction data-acquisition board. The software includes descriptions of a fast voltage-dependent sodium conductance, delayed rectifier, M-type and A-type potassium conductances, and a leak conductance. The system can also read synaptic conductance waveforms from preassembled data files. These virtual conductances can be reliably implemented at speeds < or =43 kHz while simultaneously saving two channels of data with 16-bit precision. G-clamp also includes utilities for measuring current-voltage relations, synaptic strength, and synaptic gain. Taking an approach built on a commercially available software/hardware platform has resulted in a system that is easy to assemble and upgrade. In addition, the graphical programming structure of LabVIEW should make it relatively easy for others to adapt G-clamp for new experimental applications.

[Relations between the physico-chemical properties, the chemical reactivity and the local-anesthetic activity/part 33: studies on the interactions of local-anesthetically active cinchocaine homologues with phospholipids (author's transl)].

The general part consists of a review on nerve stimulus mechanism as well as the nerve structure and the function of nerve membrane as the site of action of local anesthetics. Furthermore a possibility of interaction between local anesthetics and the membrane components especially phospholipids is discussed. These phospholipids show interesting properties with respect to ions as well as local-anesthetics, which allow us to suppose that they are important participants in nervous stimulus transmission. In the experimental part two methods are described. The first deals with the measurement of electrical resistance as function of time at cephalin and cholesterin impregnated filter membrane in solutions of cinchocain homologues. An increase in the resistance with the increase in concentration of test substances was observed. The same was the effect of increasing chain length in alkoxy group where after butoxy derivative, a deformation of membrane was observed. In the second method the drug binding capacity of cephalin dispersed in aqueous medium was measured. Here, too, the increase in the binding capacity with the increase in alkoxy chain was observed. The large difference in free binding energy between two subsequent homologues is explained as the effect of increase in van der Waals' forces and hydrophobic interactions on one hand, and a change in colloidal form of cephalin dispersion on the other hand.
