Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Myocardial ischaemia is associated with perturbations of electrophysiological profile of cardiac myocytes. The persistent sodium current (I(Nap)) is one of the major contributors to ischaemic arrhythmias and appears as an attractive therapeutic target. We investigated the effects of F 15845, a new anti-anginal drug on I(Nap) and in integrative models of I(Nap)-induced arrhythmias. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Sodium current was investigated using patch clamp technique on wild-type and DeltaKPQ-mutated hNav1.5 channels transfected in HEK293 cells. Effects of F 15845 on action potentials (APs) were studied by the glass microelectrode technique and its anti-arrhythmic activities were investigated in ischaemia- and aconitine-induced arrhythmias in the rat. KEY RESULTS We demonstrated that F 15845 is a potent blocker of I(Nap) acting from the extracellular side of the channel. Blockade of I(Nap) was voltage dependent and characterized by an almost pure tonic block. F 15845 shortened AP from rabbit Purkinje fibres, confirming its lack of pro-arrhythmic activity, and prevented AP lengthening induced by the I(Nap) activator veratridine. F 15845 did not affect APs from rabbit atria and guinea pig papillary muscle where I(Nap) is not functional, confirming its inability to affect other cardiac ionic currents. F 15845 was effective at preventing fatal ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia during coronary ligation without modifying heart rate and blood pressure, and dose dependently increased the dose threshold of aconitine required to induce ventricular arrhythmias. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS F 15845, a novel anti-anginal drug targeting I(Nap), demonstrates new anti-arrhythmic properties which may be of therapeutic benefit against ischaemia-induced arrhythmias.

Abstract
The clinical anti-anginal effectiveness of ranolazine is currently being evaluated. However, the mechanism of its anti-ischaemic action is still unclear. The aim of this work was to establish whether ranolazine exerts functional beta-adrenoceptor antagonist activity in the rat cardiovascular system. Radioligand binding studies were performed in rat hearts and guinea-pig lungs for beta1- and beta2-adrenoceptor affinity, respectively. Ranolazine had micromolar affinity for both beta,- and beta2-adrenoceptors (pKi5.8 and 6.3, respectively). Developed tension was measured in isolated rat left atria (electrically driven at 4 Hz) and cumulative concentration/response curves to (+/-)isoprenaline (0.01-1,000 nM) constructed. Ranolazine (0.32-10 microM) surmountably but weakly antagonised isoprenaline-induced positive inotropic responses, with an apparent pA2 of 5.85 (5.69-6.00) and a slope of -0.74 (-0.70 to -0.77). In bivagotomised, atropinised pithed rats, ranolazine per se evoked marked bradycardia at doses above 10 mg/kg i.v. (maximum variation at 80 mg/kg -125+/-15 bpm, n=6, P<0.001) by a mechanism apparently unrelated to blockade of beta1- or beta2-adrenoceptors. Cumulative incremental doses of (+/-)isoprenaline (0.63 ng/kg to 0.16 mg/kg i.v.) administered to pithed rats induced concomitant depressor and chronotropic responses. Animals received either vehicle (saline 0.9% i.v., n=12), atenolol (0.04-2.5 mg/kg i.v., n=6 per dose), ICI 118551 (0.01-0.63 mg/kg i.v., n=6 or 7 per dose), (+/-)propranolol (0.01-0.63 mg/kg i.v., n=6 per dose) or ranolazine (2.5-80 mg/kg i.v., n=6 or 7 per dose) 10 min prior to isoprenaline. Ranolazine dose-dependently and competitively antagonised isoprenaline-induced decreases in diastolic arterial pressure (DAP, dose ratio 12.2 with 80 mg/kg ranolazine) and increases in heart rate (HR, dose ratio 20.3 with 80 mg/kg ranolazine). Collectively, these results demonstrate that ranolazine behaves as a weak beta1- and beta2-adrenoceptor antagonist in the rat cardiovascular system.

Abstract
The effects of the 5-HT1B/D receptor agonist, sumatriptan, on coronary flow (CF) and left ventricular function in the isolated perfused guinea pig heart were investigated in the presence and absence of coronary endothelial dysfunction induced by nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibition with Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; 10 microM). Hearts were perfused under constant pressure (80 cm H2O) with oxygenated (95% O2/5% CO2) Krebs bicarbonate buffer (pH 7.4) and were driven at 4 Hz. In the absence of L-NAME (n=37), sumatriptan (0.1-32 microM) failed statistically significantly to affect left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP; maximal change, -8.1+/-1.8%; NS vs. vehicle), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP; +10.4+/-9.8%, NS), or CF (-12.2+/-1.4%; NS compared with vehicle). L-NAME per se significantly reduced coronary flow (CF; -26.3+/-2.9%; p < 0.001), thereby increasing coronary vascular tone, and decreased LVDP (-17.1+/-1.8%; p < 0.01). In hearts perfused with L-NAME (10 microM; n=61), sumatriptan (0.1-32 microM) still failed significantly to affect CF (maximal change, 0.2+/-5.7%, NS) but concentration-dependently increased LVEDP [maximal increase, 89.0+/-30.3%; p < 0.05; geometric mean EC50 3.6 (2.9-5.7) microM], which was not prevented by the 5-HT1B/D receptor antagonist, GR 127935 (0.1 microM; maximal increase, 51.8+/-11.1%; n=48, NS compared with sumatriptan alone). In conclusion, sumatriptan failed significantly to affect CF even in the presence of endothelial dysfunction. LV function similarly remained unaffected in normal hearts, but sumatriptan produced diastolic contracture in the presence of coronary endothelial dysfunction by a mechanism apparently not involving 5-HT1B/D receptors. Collectively the data indicate that 5-HT1B/D receptor expression or effector coupling or both are absent or low in the guinea pig heart, because no detectable functional responses were observed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate late psychosocial sequelae in long-term survivors of Hodgkin's disease (HD) in the population of Calvados, France. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ninety-three patients issued from the Calvados General Tumor Registry, treated from 1978 to 1990, free of relapse and second malignancy since January 1991, were enrolled onto cross-sectional case-control study. One hundred eighty-six healthy controls, matched for sex, age, and residency, were selected at random from electoral rolls. Two self-administered questionnaires were mailed in the spring of 1995. RESULTS Compared with controls, HD patients reported (1) more physical (P < .001), role (P < .001), and cognitive (P = .015) functioning impairments, as well as dyspnea (P < .001) and chronic fatigue (P = .025), while no statistical difference was found in global health status; (2) to be more often childless (P = .04), fewer divorces or separations (P = .013), fewer changes in relationships with friends (P = .012), similar proportions at work but less ambitious professional plans (P < .001), and greater difficulties in borrowing from banks (P < .001); (3) a slight increase in the number of visits to a general practitioner (P = .05) and greater consumption of medical resources (mainly thyroid extracts, P = .05). CONCLUSION The study demonstrated that French long-term HD survivors have good global health status and good psychologic, familial, and professional status, although difficulties in borrowing from banks remain a major limitation in daily life. Although physical, role, and cognitive functioning impairments persist that might limit their activities, HD survivors seem to have learned to cope with problems related to their disease and its treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In isolated, Langendorff-perfused hearts in the early stages of atherosclerosis from rabbits exposed to hypercholesterolaemia induced by 2% cholesterol feeding for 6 weeks (n = 23), and age-matched normal controls fed standard chow (n = 12), we studied baseline cardiac haemodynamics and the susceptibility of these hearts to 30 min global, normothermic ischaemia and 90 min reperfusion. METHODS Spontaneously beating hearts were perfused with oxygenated Krebs buffer (pH 7.4) at constant pressure, and were enclosed in a thermostated water jacket at 37 degrees C. Isovolumetric left ventricular (LV) pressure was measured by means of a balloon placed in the LV cavity. An electromagnetic flow probe placed around the perfusion cannula determined coronary flow. At the end of an initial 30 min stabilisation period, several baseline cardiodynamic variables were measured, just before subjecting the hearts to 30 min ischaemia. Recovery of mechanical function and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activities in the coronary effluent were recorded throughout 90 min reperfusion. RESULTS Baseline spontaneous heart rate, LV developed pressure (LVDP), coronary flow and pressure-rate index (PRI) were all significantly lower in hearts from cholesterol-fed rabbits (CFR) than in age-matched controls (P < 0.01). Although large differences in several baseline haemodynamic parameters in hearts from CFR and controls were evident before ischaemia, no statistically significant differences were discernible in these parameters between the two groups from 60 min reperfusion onwards (p = NS). Furthermore, CPK and, to a lesser extent, LDH release during reperfusion was attenuated in hearts from CFR compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS Hearts from CFR exhibited markedly improved recovery upon reperfusion compared to age-matched controls, strongly suggesting increased myocardial resistance to ischaemic injury.

Abstract
1. The putative direct protective effects of a series of chemically diverse alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonists against veratrine alkaloid-induced tetanic contractures in rat isolated left atria have been investigated. 2. Atria were mounted in organ baths containing normal, oxygenated physiological salt solution (20 ml, pH 7.4), for isometric tension recording. Atria were electrically driven at 4 Hz and were maintained at 34 degrees C. Veratrine (100 micrograms ml-1) was applied to the atria to elicit tetanic (diastolic) contracture. 3. Concentration-dependent protective effects against veratrine-contractures, in the absence of negative inotropic responses, were observed with the quinazoline congeners, prazosin and doxazosin and with the benzodioxane-related compounds, WB 4101 and its thio analogue, benoxathian. IC50 concentrations and apparent Hill coefficients of all four drugs ranged from 0.27 to 0.93 microM, and from 0.86 to 1.09, respectively, and are consistent with interaction at a single site. 4. In contrast, no protective activity versus veratrine-contractures was observed with corynanthine, 5-methyl-urapidil, phenoxybenzamine, phentolamine or chloroethylclonidine (10 microM). 5. Contractures were prevented by prazosin at concentrations 2-3 log units higher than those which antagonized methoxamine-evoked inotropic responses. In addition, concomitant alpha 1-adrenoceptor occupancy by high concentrations of methoxamine (100 microM), phentolamine (10 microM, inactive per se in preventing contracture), or both drugs together, failed, in each case, to modify significantly the protective effects of prazosin or WB 4101 against veratrine-contractures. 6. Our findings demonstrate that alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonists which prevent veratrine-contractures belong to specific chemical classes of the quinazoline- and benzodioxane-type. The mechanism by which these drugs afford protection is apparently independent of an interaction with defined alpha 1-adrenoceptors.
