Abstract
Resistance traits of honeybees (Apis mellifera) against their major parasite Varroa destructor have fascinated scientists and breeders for long. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying resistance are still largely unknown. The same applies to possible interactions between host behaviours, mite reproduction and seasonal differences. Two resistance traits, reproductive failure of mites and recapping of brood cells, are of particular interest. High rates of recapping at the colony level were found to correspond with low reproductive success of mites. However, the direct effect of recapping on mite reproduction is still controversial and both traits seem to be very variable in their expression. Thus, a deeper knowledge of both, the effect of recapping on mite reproduction and the seasonal differences in the expression of these traits is urgently needed. To shed light on this host-parasite interaction, we investigated recapping and mite reproduction in full-grown colonies naturally infested with V. destructor. Measurements were repeated five times per year over the course of 3 years. The reproductive success of mites as well as the recapping frequency clearly followed seasonal patterns. Thereby, reproductive failure of mites at the cell level was constantly increased in case of recapping. Interestingly, this did not apply to the occurrence of infertile mites. In line with this, recapping activity in fertile cells was most frequent in brood ages in which mite offspring would be expected. Our results suggest that mite offspring is the main target of recapping. This, in turn, leads to a significantly reduced reproductive success of the parasite.

Abstract
Bees come into contact with bacteria and fungi from flowering plants during their foraging trips. The Western honeybee (Apis mellifera) shows a pronounced hygienic behavior with social interactions, while the solitary red mason bee (Osmia bicornis) lacks a social immune system. Since both visit the same floral resources, it is intriguing to speculate that the body surface of a solitary bee should harbor a more complex microbiome than that of the social honeybee. We compared the cuticular microbiomes of A. mellifera (including three European subspecies) and O. bicornis for the first time by bacterial 16S rRNA and fungal ITS gene-based high-throughput amplicon sequencing. The cuticular microbiome of the solitary O. bicornis was significantly more complex than that of the social A. mellifera. The microbiome composition of A. mellifera subspecies was very similar. However, we counted significantly different numbers of fungi and a higher diversity in the honeybee subspecies adapted to warmer climates. Our results suggest that the cuticular microbiome of bees is strongly affected by visited plants, lifestyle and adaptation to temperature, which have important implications for the maintenance of the health of bees under conditions of global change.

Abstract
The selection of honeybee strains resistant to the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor is generally considered as one of the most sustainable ways of coping with this major bee parasite. Thus, breeding efforts increasingly focus on resistance parameters in addition to common beekeeping traits like honey yield and gentleness. In every breeding effort, the success strongly depends on the quantifiability and heritability of the traits accounted. To find the most suitable traits among the manifold variants to assess Varroa resistance, it is necessary to evaluate how easily a trait can be measured (i.e., testing effort) in relation to the underlying heritability (i.e., expected transfer to the following generation). Various possible selection traits are described as beneficial for colony survival in the presence of Varroa destructor and therefore are measured in breeding stocks around the globe. Two of them in particular, suppressed mite reproduction (SMR, sensu lato any reproductive failure of mother mites) and recapping of already sealed brood cells have recently gained increasing attention among the breeders because they closely resemble resistance mechanisms of some Varroa-surviving honeybee populations. However, it was still unknown whether the genetic background of the trait is sufficient for targeted selection. We therefore investigated the heritabilities and genetic correlations for SMR and REC, distinguishing between recapping of infested cells (RECinf) and all cells (RECall), on an extensive dataset of Buckfast and Carniolan stock in Germany. With an accessible h² of 0.18 and 0.44 for SMR and an accessible h² of 0.44 and 0.40 for RECinf, both traits turned out to be very promising for further selection in the Buckfast and Carnica breeding population, respectively.

Abstract
We present results from the first directed search for nontensorial gravitational waves. While general relativity allows for tensorial (plus and cross) modes only, a generic metric theory may, in principle, predict waves with up to six different polarizations. This analysis is sensitive to continuous signals of scalar, vector, or tensor polarizations, and does not rely on any specific theory of gravity. After searching data from the first observation run of the advanced LIGO detectors for signals at twice the rotational frequency of 200 known pulsars, we find no evidence of gravitational waves of any polarization. We report the first upper limits for scalar and vector strains, finding values comparable in magnitude to previously published limits for tensor strain. Our results may be translated into constraints on specific alternative theories of gravity.

Abstract
We describe the observation of GW170104, a gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of a pair of stellar-mass black holes. The signal was measured on January 4, 2017 at 10∶11:58.6 UTC by the twin advanced detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory during their second observing run, with a network signal-to-noise ratio of 13 and a false alarm rate less than 1 in 70 000 years. The inferred component black hole masses are 31.2_{-6.0}^{+8.4}M_{⊙} and 19.4_{-5.9}^{+5.3}M_{⊙} (at the 90% credible level). The black hole spins are best constrained through measurement of the effective inspiral spin parameter, a mass-weighted combination of the spin components perpendicular to the orbital plane, χ_{eff}=-0.12_{-0.30}^{+0.21}. This result implies that spin configurations with both component spins positively aligned with the orbital angular momentum are disfavored. The source luminosity distance is 880_{-390}^{+450} Mpc corresponding to a redshift of z=0.18_{-0.07}^{+0.08}. We constrain the magnitude of modifications to the gravitational-wave dispersion relation and perform null tests of general relativity. Assuming that gravitons are dispersed in vacuum like massive particles, we bound the graviton mass to m_{g}≤7.7×10^{-23} eV/c^{2}. In all cases, we find that GW170104 is consistent with general relativity.

Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the potential pathogenicity of the bacterium Flavobacterium columnare on rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss eyed eggs. Survival to hatching was unaffected by the inclusion in the incubation water of either 300 colony-forming units (CFU) ml(-1) or 3000 CFU ml(-1) of F. columnare at either 10 or 12 degrees C in either McConaughy or Shasta strain eyed eggs. Bacterial numbers, obtained via scanning electron microscopy or culture, and external membrane morphology were also not significantly different among eggs receiving different concentrations of F. columnare. Initial F. columnare burdens were significantly and positively correlated to the presence of biofilm on the egg external membrane, and biofilm was in turn significantly correlated with increased membrane degradation. The use of either streptomycin or tetracyclin antibiotics significantly reduced bacterial numbers on McConaughy strain eggs, and more eggs survived to hatch in those dishes treated with antibiotics.

Abstract
The objective of the study was to determine the effect of nutrition level (NL, multiples of maintenance energy requirement) on the digestibility of nutrients for dairy cows regarding the energy supply of the animal. The digestion of nutrients and energy was investigated in two trials using lactating dairy cows. The NL varied from 2.7 to 5.0 using diets similar composition. In addition, sheep were given the same feed with a NL of 1.4. Digestibility of dry matter (DM) and all specific measures of dietary components declined significantly as NL increased. Digestibility of energy decreased by 4.1% for each increase in NL. The metabolizable energy, the ability to metabolize energy (metabolizable energy/gross energy), and the content of net energy for lactation (NE(L)) per kilogram of DM intake were calculated for NL from 1 to 6 on the basis of these relationships and as well as the gross energy, methane energy, and urine energy. Accordingly the NEL content declined by 0.11 MJ/kg of DM intake or 1.6% as the NL increased by one unit. It means that the NE(L) requirement above the maintenance requirement increased by 0.07 MJ of NE(L) per kilogram of fat-corrected milk, if the NL increased by one unit.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the spatial and temporal dynamics of enterococci colonizing forage grass and their ability to produce bacteriocins. METHODS AND RESULTS Enterococci could be detected on above-ground plant parts throughout the growing season, with high continuity but low cell numbers (2.60 x 101-6.16 x 104 cfu g-1 fresh matter). A total of 750 strains were isolated and identified by their whole-cell protein patterns as Enterococcus faecalis (7.9%), Ent. mundtii (7.9%), Ent. casseliflavus (5.5%), Ent. faecium (5.2%) and Ent. sulfureus (0.1%). The vast majority of the strains (69.7%) formed a homogeneous 16S rDNA genotype that differed from those of known enterococci. A screening for antagonistic activity using an agar spot test revealed that 18.4% of all isolates were potential antagonists. Partially-purified proteins extracted from cell-free culture supernatant fluids of various species were characterized as pH- and heat-stable bacteriocins active against a wide range of lactic acid bacteria, clostridia and Listeria. The producing strains were antagonistically active even on 'phylloplane agar' at temperatures between 4 and 37 degrees C. CONCLUSION Enterococci are a common part of the epiphytic microflora of grasses, displaying probably some antagonistic activity. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The results provide new information on the distribution, species diversity and antagonistic potential of enterococci in the phyllosphere.

Abstract
The effect of a continuous duodenal infusion of L-histidine (His) (8 g/d) on the retention of nitrogen was investigated in two experiments (I, II), each of which was carried out using two young bulls. In Exps. I and II, the animals (150-250 kg BW) were fitted with a re-entrant cannula in the proximal duodenum and were fed diets containing 125 g CP/kg DM and 11.5 MJ ME/kg DM. A third experiment (III) using two young bulls (140-200 kg BW) fitted with a simple T-cannula was carried out infusing 6 g L-His. The animals were fed a low protein diet (94 g CP/kg DM and 11 MJ ME/kg DM). The study was done to find out whether or not L-His is the first limiting amino acid (AA) for growing ruminants. N retention was 28 and 31, 38 and 38, 22 and 24 g/d without L-His infusion and with L-His infusion for Exps. I, II and III, respectively. Both in the experiments with a standard protein supply (I, II) and in the experiment with reduced protein supply (III), no significant differences were found between periods with and without infusion of L-His. The utilisation of duodenal NAN varied between 39% and 50% and was also not significantly influenced by the duodenal infusion of L-His. No significant effect was observed on the flow of AA into the duodenum. The faecal excretion of AA was also not significantly influenced by the infusion of L-His. The utilisation of individual amino acids as calculated by the ratio of retained AA to intestinal apparently digested AA, did not differ significantly following the duodenal infusion of L-His. As expected, the utilisation of His decreased. Of the different essential AA, L-His was the most utilised (80%) followed by Arg (72%), Met (60%), Leu (45%) and Lys (44%), during periods without supplementation of L-His. It is concluded that the intestinal supply of L-His from the basal diet was sufficient for the potential growth level of animals under these experimental conditions. In all AA present at the proximal duodenum, L-His could have at first a limiting effect on the performance of growing young bulls with high body gain. Arg and Met, but not Lys, could be second or co-limiting AA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to understand the significance of an effective atrial systole and the interactions between atrial and ventricular function. BACKGROUND The significance of atrial function is controversial, particularly in the setting of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. METHODS Serial, rapid pacing in five dogs that had undergone radiofrequency ablation and implantation of right atrial and ventricular pacemakers produced reversible atrial and ventricular dysfunction (alone and in combination). Atrial function (echocardiograph-determined transmitral diastolic flow, left atrial appendage emptying, and pulmonary venous flow), cardiac output, and right heart pressures were measured at matched paced heart rates of 80 beats/min. RESULTS Isolated rapid atrial pacing (LV ejection fraction approximately 60%) decreased atrial booster pump in the body and appendage of the left atrium, but increased the conduit function of the left atrium. Isolated LV dysfunction (LV ejection fraction approximately 34%) increased atrial booster pump function. The decreased atrial booster pump function in animals with combined atrial and ventricular dysfunction was incompletely compensated by the redistribution of the reservoir and conduit functions of the left atrium. As a result, cardiac output decreased and right heart pressures increased only after superimposed pacing. CONCLUSIONS In the presence of a normal left ventricle (LV), atrial failure has little effect on cardiac output and right heart pressures because of compensatory conduit function, but when early LV dysfunction coexists, changes in reservoir and conduit functions are insufficient to compensate for an impairment of atrial contraction.

Abstract
Abstract. Title ofthe paper: The efficiency of utilization of intestinal digestible indispensable amino aeids in growing bulls There are problems to determine the efficiency of protein deposition of intestinal absorbed amino aeids, because it cannot be exeluded that the amount of single or some indispensable amino acid (IAA) can influence the growing Performance of the animal. The dependence of amino acid gain on the flux of essential absorbable amino aeids into the duodenum was studied in growing bulls to calculate the utilization rate of these amino aeids. Four growing bulls (Schwarzbuntes Milchrind, BW: 240–310 kg) with duodenal T-type cannulas were fed diets varying in crude protein content. Energy level was 11,2 MJ ME/kg DM. The efficiency for the different absorbable IAA was decreased with increasing nutritional level. This is in contrast with the constant utilization factor ofthe protein evaluation system (AfB, 1995; 1997). The efficiency of utilization of apparently digestible IAA for protein retention was highest for His and Met and amounted to 33 (He), 34 (Phe and Thr), 38 (Lys and Val), 41 (Leu), 52 (Met) und 76 (His) %, respectively. The intersection ofthe regression curve (AA-deposition against apparently digestible AA) with the abscissae resulted in the maintenance requirement of absorbable amino acid. For growing bulls (BW: 300 kg) a value of 4,7 g/d histidine and 4,2 g/d methionine was determined, but more investigations are necessary in this field.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Based on reports of high cellular uptake and low plasma binding of nonreducible mixed ligand Tc(III) cations (Q complexes) and high linear uptake versus blood flow of 99mTc-Q3 in canine hearts, the authors hypothesized that the two Q complexes, 99mTc-Q63 and 99mTc-Q64, would have high cell uptake and better differentiation between ischemic and nonischemic myocardium compared with other 99mTc-based compounds. METHODS Uptake and retention kinetics of 99mTc-Q63 and 99mTc-Q64 were measured in isolated rat cardiac myocytes, isolated perfused rat hearts, and intact canines and compared with previously reported Q-based compounds, a clinically available 99mTc perfusion agent (sestamibi), and 201Tl. RESULTS Uptake of Q63, Q64, and sestamibi by isolated cardiac myocytes was similar. Maximum extraction (Emax) of Q64 by isolated perfused rat hearts was greatest among the 99mTc agents (P < 0.02), but net extraction (Enet) of Q64 was not different from Q63 or sestamibi 3 minutes after tracer injection. By 15 minutes, 201Tl Enet was lower than Q63, Q64, and sestamibi (P < 0.05). Among 99mTc agents, the uptake versus flow of Q3, Q63, and Q64 by canine heart was superior to Q12 and sestamibi (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The activity of Q63 and Q64 in the myocardium is related to actual myocardial blood flow over a broad, clinically relevant range of flows. The ischemic-to-normal zone activity distributions of Q63 and Q64 approximate actual flow in a manner more like that of 201Tl than sestamibi or Q12. These results provide a rational foundation in support of further evaluation of Q63 and Q64 in humans.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Investigations in animal models of severe myocardial ischemia or infarction use triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining to document infarction size histologically and to correlate these data with uptake measurements of radiolabeled tracers. Previously published data suggest that TTC staining itself has an important impact on myocardial tracer activity measurements. The authors hypothesized that TTC staining by perfusion has no significant effect on relative regional myocardial activity measurements of technetium-99m Q12 and thallium-201 in an open-chest canine model. METHODS Eight dogs underwent left anterior descending artery occlusion for 2 hours with 30 minutes of reperfusion, followed immediately by injection of technetium-99m Q12 (n = 4) or thallium-201. Total myocardial activity was recorded in a dose calibrator, and regional myocardial samples were obtained by Cope needle biopsies from the ischemic and normal zones, both before and after TTC staining. RESULTS The mean percent activity retention for the whole heart after perfusion staining with TTC was significantly reduced when compared to the preperfusion value for both technetium-99m Q12 and thallium-201. Regional measurements revealed no significant difference between the mean percent retention of technetium-99m Q12 in the ischemic and normal zones. After TTC perfusion, regional mean percent retention of thallium-201 was similar in the ischemic and normal zones. CONCLUSIONS In a canine model of myocardial ischemia and infarction with reperfusion, TTC staining can be performed by coronary artery perfusion without significantly affecting comparative regional measurements of either technetium-99m Q12 or thallium-201. Whole heart tracer retention is significantly reduced by TTC perfusion staining, but thallium-201 is more affected than technetium-99m Q12.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Direct comparison of myocardial perfusion tracers has been made difficult by variability in experimental models, and by a virtual absence of data comparing tracer uptake to myocardial blood flow under conditions of increased myocardial oxygen consumption, similar to what occurs with dynamic exercise. METHODS Tracer uptake versus myocardial blood flow was evaluated for thallium-201 (201TI) and six technetium-99m (99mTc) myocardial-imaging agents in 24 open-chest canines with an occluded left-anterior descending coronary artery during dobutamine infusion. Data were fitted to the exponential model y = ax(1 - exp[-PSc/x]), where y is the tissue tracer/g normalized to normal (activity at 1 mL/minute/g) and x is the blood flow measured by the radioactive microsphere method. RESULTS With dobutamine, myocardial tracer uptake was linear across a wide range of ischemic and hyperemic flows for each tracer. Based on the permeability surface area product, 201TI and 99mTc Q3 provided the best tracer estimate of myocardial blood flow (5.30+/-0.86 mL/minute/g, r = 0.91; 5.46+/-0.58 mL/minute/g, r = 0.94, respectively). Correlation coefficient (r) values for other tracers studied were 99mTc Q4 (r =0.93), 99mTc Q12 (r = 0.93), 99mTc sestamibi (r = 0.90), 99mTc tetrofosmin (r = 0.96), and 99mTc-N-Noet (r = 0.82). CONCLUSIONS Of the 99mTc tracers examined under conditions of dobutamine-altered myocardial contractility, the myocardial uptake properties of 99mTc Q3 were most similar to those of 201TI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to characterize fully in vivo aortic compliance over a wide range of passive distending pressures, and to study pharmacologically induced alterations in compliance using an intravascular ultrasound-based technique in the canine model of heart failure. BACKGROUND Altered aortic compliance may influence considerably the function of the failing heart. Although some studies demonstrate that patients with heart failure have decreased aortic compliance, data from other studies are conflicting. METHODS Aortic pressures and dimensions in seven dogs were determined both before and after pacing-induced congestive heart failure (CHF) using simultaneous micromanometer and intravascular ultrasound transducers. Decreases in aortic pressure were produced at baseline and after nitroprusside and dobutamine infusions. Inner and outer aortic circumferences were drawn at the lumen-intimal and media-adventitial borders. RESULTS Aortic pressure-dimension (chamber) stiffness constants were greater after heart failure was produced (10.0+/-1.5 vs. 6.7+/-1.5, p < 0.05), but stress-strain stiffness (material) constants were similar (11.4+/-1.8 vs. 11.3+/-1.0, p=NS). Equivasodilating doses of nitroprusside and 10 microg/kg/min dobutamine decreased pressure-dimension stiffness constants after pacing-induced heart failure but not beforehand. The aortic wall thickness to diameter ratio was significantly greater in CHF than in the control condition (0.30+/-0.08 vs. 0.16+/-0.03, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Aortic compliance is decreased in this model of CHF, and this change is attributable primarily to vessel geometry rather than material properties. Equivasodilating doses of nitroprusside and equivalent doses of dobutamine increase aortic chamber compliance in dogs with CHF, but not in normal dogs. These data suggest that the beneficial effects of nitroprusside and dobutamine in CHF occur in part from improvement in aortic compliance.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the hypothesis that long-term, rapid atrial pacing produces a model of atrial systolic and diastolic dysfunction but does not alter ventricular function. Eight dogs were atrially paced at 400 beats/min (3:1-5:1 ventricular response) for 6 wk and subsequently instrumented with left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) sonomicrometers and micromanometers. Data were compared with those from six sham-operated controls at matched heart rates and mean LA pressures of 10 mmHg. Dogs with rapid pacing had slightly greater LA volume (10.3 +/- 4.0 vs. 7.9 +/- 4.4 ml) and reduced ejection fraction (2.2 +/- 1.4 vs. 13.0 +/- 4.0, P < 0.05), systolic ejection rate (0.3 +/- 0.1 vs. 2.8 +/- 1.2 vol/s, P < 0.05), and reservoir fraction (0.07 +/- 0.04 vs. 0.35 +/- 0.06, P < 0.05) compared with controls. LA diastolic chamber stiffness was greater after rapid atrial pacing than before (stiffness constant kc, 5.7 +/- 2.3 vs. 3.4 +/- 0.6, P < 0.05), and the ratio of transesophageal echo-determined pulmonary venous systolic to diastolic integrated flow (a measure of relative reservoir to conduit function of the LA) was less in rapidly paced dogs compared with control dogs (0.41 +/- 0.19 vs. 0.68 +/- 0.23, P < 0.05). In contrast, rapid atrial pacing did not influence LV systolic performance or lusitropy, because the LV pressure time derivative and the time constant of LV relaxation were similar in both groups. In this model of isolated atrial myopathy, increased atrial stiffness and enhanced conduit function compensate for impaired atrial booster pump and reservoir functions.

Abstract
PURPOSE The E. coli cytosine deaminase (CD) gene encodes an enzyme capable of converting the nontoxic prodrug 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a known radiosensitizer. Having previously shown that combined CD suicide gene therapy and radiation (RT) results in pronounced radiosensitization in vitro, we progressed to in vivo studies of combined therapy. METHODS AND MATERIALS WiDr human colon cancer cells were transduced in vitro with the CD gene and cells expressing CD were selected for use as xenografts in a nude mouse model. After administration of 5-FC, tumors received 10-30 Gy local field radiation (RT) and tumor growth delay was compared to control animals receiving either 5-FU, 5-FC, or RT alone. RESULTS Maximal growth delay was seen in mice treated with 5-FC for 6 consecutive days prior to RT. Combined treatment with 15 Gy radiation resulted in a dose-modifying factor (DMF) of 1.50, and a greater DMF was observed with higher doses of radiation. There was no appreciable toxicity using this new approach. In contrast, a similar treatment of combined 5-FU and radiation resulted in considerable toxicity and no appreciable radiosensitization. CONCLUSION The present results show that combined suicide gene therapy and RT results in pronounced antitumor effect without any notable toxicity. This indicates that the CD gene may be useful in the development of novel treatment strategies combining radiation and gene therapy in the treatment of locally advanced cancers.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We investigated the myocardial flow kinetics of six putative radioperfusion agents (99mTc-Q3, 99mTc-Q4, 99mTc-Q12, 99mTc-sestamibi, 99mTc-tetrofosmin and 99mTcN-NOET) and 201Tl in a canine model of myocardial ischemia with pharmacologic coronary artery vasodilation. METHODS In 31 open-chest dogs with acute coronary occlusion, dipyridamole (approximately 0.56 mg/kg) was infused intravenously, followed by a perfusion tracer injection and radioactive microspheres for myocardial blood flow (MBF) measurement. The paired data were normalized using three techniques; average, normal or maximum myocardial tracer activity and MBF. RESULTS The upper limit of MBF obtained for the group of tracers ranged from 4.2 ml/min/g to 8.2 ml/min/g. There was a statistically significant (p < 0.0001) linear correlation (r = 0.87-0.98) between the normalized myocardial activity and the normalized MBF values of each of the tracers. The slope of the curve normalized by average for 201Tl (0.83) was greater than those for the 99mTc tracers, and the intercept (0.07) was lower than those for the 99mTc tracers. Slopes and intercepts for the 99mTc agents were as follows: 99mTc-Q3, 0.81 and 0.18; 99mTc-Q4, 0.61 and 0.41; 99mTc-Q12, 0.63 and 0.39; 99mTc-sestamibi, 0.62 and 0.34; 99mTc-tetrofosmin, 0.68 and 0.32; and 99mTcN-NOET, 0.71 and 0.29, respectively. CONCLUSION In an anesthetized open-chest canine model of regional myocardial ischemia with dipyridamole induced hyperemia, 201Tl shows a more ideal relationship between tracer uptake and MBF than do the 99mTc-based agents. Of the various 99mTc-based imaging agents studied, the myocardial flow kinetics of 99mTc-Q3 appear to be closest to ideal. This relationship is maintained regardless of the normalization technique used. This may, in theory, imply a higher sensitivity in discerning ischemic from normal myocardium and a role in diagnostic nuclear imaging for 99mTc-Q3.

Abstract
We examined diastolic transmitral, left atrial appendage, and pulmonary venous flow pulsed-wave Doppler velocities in five dogs sedated with Valium and ketamine both before and 1 week after rapid (400 beats/min) atrial pacing with transesophageal echocardiography. Left ventricular systolic function was assessed with long-axis fractional area shortening with the use of transesophageal echocardiography. Transmitral and left atrial appendage atrial systolic and pulmonary vein systolic velocities decreased significantly. The transmitral and left atrial appendage early-to-late velocity ratios increased significantly and the pulmonary venous systolic-to-diastolic velocity ratio decreased significantly after rapid atrial pacing. Thus, 1 week of rapid atrial pacing results in impaired global and regional atrial pump function and enhanced conduit function of the left atrium with preservation of left ventricular systolic function. These findings may have implications for anticoagulation therapy in patients with atrial arrhythmia.

Abstract
Studies in the rapid-pacing model of heart failure have shown that left ventricular (LV) systolic function normalizes on cessation of pacing and LV diastolic dysfunction persists, but there is no information regarding atrial function under these conditions. To determine the effects of cessation of pacing on left atrial (LA) systolic and diastolic function, ten dogs with rapid pacing-induced heart failure (250 beats/min for 3-4 wk), six dogs with regression of heart failure (4 wk after cessation of rapid pacing), and seven control dogs were instrumented with LA sonomicrometers and micromanometers. At matched LA pressure, LA ejection (10.2 +/- 3.0 vs. 17.4 +/- 5.5%), reservoir volume fractions (19 +/- 8 vs. 35 +/- 11%), and heart rate-corrected mean normalized systolic ejection rate (1.25 +/- 0.33 vs. 1.60 +/- 0.44 EF/s) were significantly less, and the volume-normalized diastolic stiffness constant (4.9 +/- 0.8 vs. 3.2 +/- 1.1) was significantly greater, in regression versus control dogs; these changes were associated with incomplete regression of LA hypertrophy and a persistent 77.4% increase in beta-myosin heavy chain (beta-MHC) in the LA body. LV systolic function and weight were not significantly different, whereas the time constant of LV relaxation was longer (52.5 +/- 4.4 vs. 40.8 +/- 7.6 ms; P < 0.05) and LV end-diastolic pressure was greater (12.2 +/- 1.8 vs. 7.1 +/- 2.0 mmHg; P < 0.05) in regression compared with control dogs. Thus, unlike the normalization of LV systolic function observed with cessation of rapid pacing, LA systolic function is persistently abnormal, owing in part to persistent LV diastolic dysfunction, residual LA hypertrophy, and MHC isoform switches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many of the cardiovascular manifestations of thyroid hormone excess resemble those produced by sympathoadrenal stimulation. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of thyroid hormone excess on myocardial beta-adrenergic expression and responsiveness to infused agonists in the primate heart. METHODS AND RESULTS The responses of left ventricular isovolumic contraction (dP/dt(max)) and relaxation (tau) during graded dobutamine infusion were studied both before and after 4 weeks of thyroid hormone administration in 8 chronically instrumented baboons. At matched (atrially paced) heart rates, thyroid hormone significantly increased resting dP/dt(max) (3073+/-1034 versus 2318+/-829 mm Hg/s, P<.05) and decreased tau (24.0+/-5.5 versus 28.2+/-5.4 ms, P<.05). The change from baseline for dP/dt(max) and tau in response to beta1-adrenergic stimulation was significant at each dobutamine dose (2.5 to 10 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1)), but when expressed as a percent change, it was similar before versus after thyroid hormone. Similar changes were found when beta2-adrenergic stimulation was produced by terbutaline infusion in three additional baboons. beta-Adrenergic receptor (betaAR) expression was higher in five thyroxine-treated than in five control baboons (37.4+/-1.2 versus 15.7+/-3.2 fmol/mg, P<.001), and this was due to a greater increase in the beta2AR (5.9+/-1.5 to 20.6+/-1.2 fmol/mg, P<.001) than the beta1AR (9.7+/-1.7 to 16.8+/-0.1 fmol/mg, P<.01) subtype. CONCLUSIONS In the primate heart, thyroid hormone produces positive inotropic and lusitropic effects in the resting state and upregulates both beta1AR and beta2AR, with the beta2AR increase predominating. At equivalent rates, however, thyroid hormone excess does not appear to enhance the sensitivity of left ventricular contractility and relaxation to either beta1- or beta2-adrenergic stimulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In an attempt to improve the care they provide for their patients with breast cancer, the authors' institution developed a multidisciplinary breast cancer clinic (MDBCC) to offer "one-stop shopping" consultation and support for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. METHODS One hundred sixty-two patients, the control group for this study, were evaluated at Henry Ford Hospital during the year prior to the opening of the MDBCC. These patients, who were referred in the traditional sequential consultation manner, were compared with the first 177 patients seen during the first year of the clinic's operation. Retrospective chart reviews were conducted to assess treatment timeliness, and anonymous questionnaires were used to assess patient satisfaction. RESULTS The authors found that the MDBCC increased patient satisfaction by encouraging involvement of patients' families and friends and by helping patients make treatment decisions (P < 0.001). The time between diagnosis and the initiation of treatment was also significantly decreased (42.2 days vs. 29.6 days; P < 0.0008). CONCLUSIONS Although planning and operating a multidisciplinary clinic is not a new venture, to the best of the authors' knowledge, they have provided the first report demonstrating the benefits described above.

Abstract
To determine the biochemical and related functional effects of the thyroid analog diiodothyroproprionic acid (DITPA) on primate myocardium, we examined, both before and after 23 days of DITPA (3.75 mg/kg): myosin heavy-chain (MHC) isoforms and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium cycling proteins; left ventricular (LV) function; and the LV force-frequency relation in four baboons chronically instrumented with sonomicrometers and micromanometers. The force-frequency relation was measured as the response of isovolumic contraction (dP/dtmax) to incremental pacing and the critical heart rate (HRcrit) as the rate at which dP/dtmax reached its maximum. DITPA increased basal LV dPt/dtmax (3,300 +/- 378 versus 2,943 +/- 413 mm Hg/sec; p = .09), and velocity of circumferential shortening (1.13 +/- 0.30 versus 0.76 +/- 0.30 circ/sec; p < .01), decreased the basal time constant of isovolumic relaxation (24.2 +/- 1.6 versus 29.9 +/- 2.5 msec; p < .05), and increased the HRcrit (203 +/- 19 versus 168 +/- 20 bpm; p < .05), without effecting significant changes in either basal heart rate (119 +/- 14 versus 111 +/- 17 bpm) or systolic blood pressure (137 +/- 14 versus 126 +/- 8 mm Hg). Quantitative immunoblotting revealed significant decreases in both phospholamban and the ratio of phospholamban to SR Ca2+ adenosine triphosphatase in DITPA-treated animals when compared to four untreated controls. By contrast, alpha-MHC isoform was undetectable in both DITPA treated and control baboons. Thus, DITPA favorably alters the stoichiometry between the SR calcium pump and its inhibitor, phospholamban, and has positive inotropic and lusitropic effects in the normal primate left ventricle, which may be useful in the treatment of heart failure. Unlike thyroid hormone, these changes occur in the absence of detectable alpha-MHC isoform protein expression and without an increase in heart rate.

Abstract
Studies have shown that increasing extracellular sodium concentration can partially reverse sodium channel blockade. However, there is conflicting in vitro evidence in this regard for lidocaine. The effects of lidocaine on cardiac electrophysiology and defibrillation were studied in a basal and hypernatremic state to determine reversibility of sodium channel blockade. Electrophysiologic studies measured right ventricular effective refractory period at 350 ms pacing cycle length and QRS interval, JT interval, and monophasic action potential duration during sinus rhythm and right ventricular pacing (350 ms cycle length) in 14 pentobarbital-anesthetized swine (25-30 kg). Defibrillation threshold (DFT) was measured by quantitating successful conversion of sustained ventricular fibrillation to normal sinus rhythm. Each pig was randomly assigned to a treatment group with three study phases; group 1 = baseline, lidocaine (20 mg/kg/h), and lidocaine plus placebo (D5W; n = 7); and group 2 = baseline, lidocaine, and lidocaine plus hypertonic saline (2-3 mM/kg/h; n = 7). In groups 1 and 2, lidocaine infused alone significantly (p < 0.01) increased DFT values from baseline (9.8 +/- 3.9 to 15.7 +/- 5.8 J and 8.9 +/- 2.9 to 14.7 +/- 5.4 J, respectively) and increased QRS duration from baseline during right ventricular pacing (89 +/- 6 to 109 +/- 10 ms; p < 0.01; and 87 +/- 6 to 103 +/- 12 ms; p < 0.01). Lidocaine alone reduced right ventricular action potential duration (APD) in groups 1 and 2 (214 +/- 18 to 206 +/- 20 ms; p < 0.10; and 228 +/- 8 to 212 +/- 8 ms; p < 0.05), respectively, and it reduced paced JT interval in both groups (194 +/- 20 to 184 +/- 18 ms; p < 0.10; and 200 +/- 12 to 183 +/- 16 ms; p < 0.05), respectively. When hypertonic saline was added to lidocaine, DFT and QRS duration values were unaffected (14.7 +/- 5.4 to 16.1 +/- 3.7 J and 103 +/- 12 to 100 +/- 11 ms, respectively). However, APD and JT intervals returned to basal values when hypertonic saline was added to lidocaine (212 +/- 8 to 225 +/- 13; p < 0.05; and 183 +/- 16 to 192 +/- 18; p < 0.05, respectively). When D5W was added in the control group, no changes occurred in DFT or electrophysiologic values. Lidocaine slowed ventricular conduction velocity and reduced APD. The administration of hypertonic saline to increase extracellular sodium concentrations failed to reverse the effect of lidocaine on conduction-velocity slowing or elevated DFT values. Hypertonic saline did reverse the effects of lidocaine on repolarization parameters. These data suggest that shortening of repolarization is not a mechanism by which lidocaine makes it more difficult to defibrillate the heart.

Abstract
The transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and related functional effects of thyroid hormone on primate myocardium are poorly understood. Therefore, we studied the effects of thyroid hormone on sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-cycling proteins and myosin heavy chain (MHC) composition at the steady state mRNA and protein level and associated alterations of left ventricular (LV) performance in 8 chronically instrumented baboons. The force-frequency and relaxation-frequency relations were assessed as the response of LV isovolumic contraction (dP/dtmax) and relaxation (Tau), respectively, to incremental atrial pacing. Both the heart rate at which dP/dtmax was maximal and Tau was minimal (critical heart rates) in response to pacing were increased significantly after thyroid hormone. Postmortem LV tissue from 5 thyroid-treated and 4 additional control baboons was assayed for steady state mRNA levels with cDNA probes to MHC isoforms and SR Ca(2+)-cycling proteins. Steady state SR Ca(2+)-ATPase and phospholamban mRNA increased in the hyperthyroid state, and alpha-MHC mRNA appeared de novo, whereas beta-MHC mRNA decreased. Western analysis (4 thyroid-treated and 4 control baboons) showed directionally similar changes in MHC isoforms and a slight increase in SR Ca(2+)-ATPase. In contrast, there was a statistically nonsignificant decrease in phospholamban protein, which resulted in a significant 40% decrease in the ratio of phospholamban to SR Ca(2+)-ATPase. Thus, thyroid hormone increases the transcription of Ca(2+)-cycling proteins and shifts MHC isoform expression in the primate LV. Our data suggest that both transcriptional and posttranslational mechanisms determine the levels of these proteins in the hyperthyroid primate heart and mediate, in part, the observed enhanced basal and frequency-dependent LV performance.

Abstract
Hypertonic saline solution may enhance cardiac conduction via the fast inward sodium channel and alter transmembrane Ca+2 conductance via the sodium-calcium exchanger. Evidence suggests that both Ca+2 conductance and myocardial conduction velocity may affect ventricular defibrillation. Since hypertonic saline solution solutions (ie, sodium bicarbonate) may be administered to patients who have conditions that often require ventricular defibrillation (ie, cardiac arrest or hypovolemic shock), we studied the effect of hypertonic saline solution on the defibrillation threshold (DFT) in 16 pentobarbital-anesthetized domestic farm swine (20 to 30 kg). Defibrillation was performed using two interfaced epicardial electrode patches. DFTs were determined at baseline and during treatment phase. Pigs were randomly assigned to treatment consisting of either hypertonic saline solution (6 mmol/kg load, 2.0 to 3.0 mmol/kg infusion) to maintain serum sodium concentrations 10 to 15 mmol/L above baseline or control (D5W given in equal volume). DFT values (joules) that predicted 50% success were modeled from a best-fit histogram. Hypertonic saline solution did not change DFT values from baseline values (10.2 +/- 4.3 vs 10.8 +/- 7.0, respectively). Likewise, placebo (D5W) did not change DFT values from baseline values (10.1 +/- 4.5 vs 11.3 +/- 4.3). During treatment phase, DFT values were 99 +/- 28% of baseline values in the hypertonic saline solution group and 116 +/- 23% of baseline values in the D5W groups (p = 0.21). The administration of hypertonic saline solution also did not affect ventricular conduction velocity, right ventricular action potential duration, or right ventricular effective refractory period. These data indicate that hypertonic saline solution does not appreciably affect defibrillation efficacy or electrical treatment of ventricular fibrillation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine which ion current predominantly affects defibrillation outcomes by using specific pharmacologic probes (lidocaine [a sodium channel blocking agent] and cesium [an outward potassium channel blocking agent]) in 26 swine. BACKGROUND The effect of a drug on sodium or potassium channel conductance, or both, may affect defibrillation threshold values. However, it is unknown which ion channel predominates. METHODS Each pig was randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups with two treatment phases: group 1 = placebo (D5W) in treatment phase I followed by placebo plus cesium in treatment phase II (n = 6); group 2 = lidocaine followed by lidocaine plus placebo (n = 7); group 3 = lidocaine followed by lidocaine plus cesium (n = 7); group 4 = placebo followed by placebo plus placebo (n = 6). Defibrillation threshold values and electrocardiographic measurements were obtained at baseline and at treatment phases I and II. RESULTS Lidocaine increased defibrillation threshold values from baseline by 71% in group 2 (p = 0.02) and by 92% in group 3 (p < 0.01). There were no changes in defibrillation threshold values from baseline to D5W in groups 1 and 4. When D5W was added to lidocaine in group 2 and D5W in group 4, there were no significant changes in defibrillation threshold values. However, when cesium was added to lidocaine in group 3, the elevated defibrillation threshold values (mean +/- SD) returned to baseline values (from 15.7 +/- 3.46 to 7.55 +/- 3.19 J, p < 0.01). Cesium added to D5W in group 1 also significantly reduced defibrillation threshold values from 7.10 +/- 1.27 to 4.14 +/- 1.75 J (p < 0.01). The effect of cesium on defibrillation threshold values was similar between groups 1 and 3, regardless of lidocaine, such that these values were reduced by 40 +/- 14% and 51 +/- 18%, respectively (p = 0.28). CONCLUSIONS Cesium, through potassium blockade, reverses lidocaine-induced elevation in defibrillation threshold values. The magnitude of defibrillation threshold reduction when cesium was added to lidocaine was similar to the defibrillation threshold reduction when cesium was added to placebo. Thus, inhibiting outward potassium conductance and prolonging repolarization decreases defibrillation threshold values independent of sodium channel blockade.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An accurate noninvasive method for measuring the effects of pharmacologic agents on active relaxation of the left ventricle would provide a valuable tool for monitoring the treatment of diastolic heart failure related to coronary artery disease. METHODS AND RESULTS The time constant of isovolumic relaxation (T) and the left atrioventricular gradient were measured with micromanometer catheters and diastolic left ventricular filling variables were measured with radionuclide ventriculography in nine anesthetized, open-chest dogs with an acute coronary artery occlusion. Infusion of the positive inotropic drug dobutamine hydrochloride (5 to 10 micrograms/kg/min) resulted in a 35% shortening of T and a 37% increase in the radionuclide first-half filling fraction (both p < 0.05), but no change in the left atrioventricular gradient. Conversely, infusion of the alpha-adrenergic vasoconstrictor phenylephrine hydrochloride (20 to 40 micrograms/min) augmented left ventricular load, increasing the atrioventricular gradient by 45%, but had no significant effect on T or the first-half filling fraction. Infusion of the direct-acting vasodilator, sodium nitroprusside (80 to 120 micrograms/min), was accompanied by a 14% lengthening of T with a corresponding 28% decrease in the first-half filling fraction (both p < 0.05). CONCLUSION In an anesthetized, open-chest canine model of acute myocardial ischemia, the radionuclide first-half filling fraction reflects pharmacologically induced changes in the lusitropic state of the left ventricle with relative independence of loading conditions.
