Abstract
We introduce a setup to measure high-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering at the High Energy Density scientific instrument at the European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL). The setup uses the Si (533) reflection in a channel-cut monochromator and three spherical diced analyzer crystals in near-backscattering geometry to reach a high spectral resolution. An energy resolution of 44 meV is demonstrated for the experimental setup, close to the theoretically achievable minimum resolution. The analyzer crystals and detector are mounted on a curved-rail system, allowing quick and reliable changes in scattering angle without breaking vacuum. The entire setup is designed for operation at 10 Hz, the same repetition rate as the high-power lasers available at the instrument and the fundamental repetition rate of the European XFEL. Among other measurements, it is envisioned that this setup will allow studies of the dynamics of highly transient laser generated states of matter.

Abstract
We describe a setup for performing inelastic X-ray scattering and X-ray diffraction measurements at the Matter in Extreme Conditions (MEC) endstation of the Linac Coherent Light Source. This technique is capable of performing high-, meV-resolution measurements of dynamic ion features in both crystalline and non-crystalline materials. A four-bounce silicon (533) monochromator was used in conjunction with three silicon (533) diced crystal analyzers to provide an energy resolution of ∼50 meV over a range of ∼500 meV in single shot measurements. In addition to the instrument resolution function, we demonstrate the measurement of longitudinal acoustic phonon modes in polycrystalline diamond. Furthermore, this setup may be combined with the high intensity laser drivers available at MEC to create warm dense matter and subsequently measure ion acoustic modes.

Abstract
We present the first highly resolved measurements of the plasmon spectrum in an ultrafast heated solid. Multi-keV x-ray photons from the Linac Coherent Light Source have been focused to one micrometer diameter focal spots producing solid density aluminum plasmas with a known electron density of n_{e}=1.8×10^{23} cm^{-3}. Detailed balance is observed through the intensity ratio of up- and down-shifted plasmons in x-ray forward scattering spectra measuring the electron temperature. The plasmon damping is treated by electron-ion collision models beyond the Born approximation to determine the electrical conductivity of warm dense aluminum.

Abstract
Intense femtosecond x-ray pulses from free-electron laser sources allow the imaging of individual particles in a single shot. Early experiments at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) have led to rapid progress in the field and, so far, coherent diffractive images have been recorded from biological specimens, aerosols, and quantum systems with a few-tens-of-nanometers resolution. In March 2014, LCLS held a workshop to discuss the scientific and technical challenges for reaching the ultimate goal of atomic resolution with single-shot coherent diffractive imaging. This paper summarizes the workshop findings and presents the roadmap toward reaching atomic resolution, 3D imaging at free-electron laser sources.

Abstract
The Linac Coherent Light Source has added a self-seeding capability to the soft x-ray range using a grating monochromator system. We report the demonstration of soft x-ray self-seeding with a measured resolving power of 2000-5000, wavelength stability of 10(-4), and an increase in peak brightness by a factor of 2-5 across the photon energy range of 500-1000 eV. By avoiding the need for a monochromator at the experimental station, the self-seeded beam can deliver as much as 50-fold higher brightness to users.

Abstract
A scheme for generating two simultaneous hard-x-ray free-electron laser pulses with a controllable difference in photon energy is described and then demonstrated using the self-seeding setup at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). The scheme takes advantage of the existing LCLS equipment, which allows two independent rotations of the self-seeding diamond crystal. The two degrees of freedom are used to select two nearby crystal reflections, causing two wavelengths to be present in the forward transmitted seeding x-ray pulse. The free-electron laser system must support amplification at both desired wavelengths.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a gynecological condition that is characterized by extreme abdominal pain and also decreased fertility. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have immunosuppressive activity critical for embryonic implantation and likewise the acceptance of tissue engraftment. Utilizing the induced non-human primate (Papio anubis) model of endometriosis, we hypothesize that endometriosis decreases the peripheral and endomet rial Treg profile, whereas ectopic lesions have increased Treg localization. METHODS Peripheral blood and endometrium were obtained throughout the menstrual cycle prior to and after induction of disease. Animals were randomly assigned to control (n = 7) or diseased (n = 16) treatment groups. Endometriosis was induced by i.p. injection of autologous menstrual tissue for 2 consecutive months during menses. Peripheral blood and endometrial tissue were collected at d9-11PO at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 months post-induction of disease for fluorescence-activated cell sorting, quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Ectopic lesions were excised at 1 and 6 months post-inoculation and also harvested at necropsy (15 months) and processed for RNA of IHC. Identification of Tregs through analysis of FOXP3 expression was conducted utlilizing several methodologies. Differences were determined by non-parametric statistical analysis between all treatment groups and time points. RESULTS In control animals, the proportion of peripheral natural Tregs (nTregs) was reduced (P < 0.05) during the mid- and late secretory stages of the menstrual cycle compared with menses. The induction of disease decreased peripheral Treg expression at early time points (P < 0.05) and this remained low throughout the time course, compared with the pre-inoculatory level of an individual. FOXP3 gene expression and Treg populations were also decreased in the eutopic endometrium (P < 0.05) compared with control animals, whereas these parameters were increased in ectopic lesions (P < 0.05), compared with the eutopic endometrium. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that a reduction in peripheral Tregs may be a causative factor for endometriosis-associated infertility, while the increase in ectopic Treg expression may aid lesion development. Furthermore, endometriosis appears to disrupt Treg recruitment in both eutopic and ectopic endometrium.

Abstract
18526 Background: We have previously shown that Subcutaneous amifostine (SQ A) was safe and effective in decreasing the early and late complications of patients (PTS) treated with radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for head and neck cancer (HNC). We have further observed that the QOL is better for many PTS treated with SQ A compared with historical controls (HC). Although we believe we cannot put a price on QOL, we hypothesized that the use of SQ A could result in cost savings to our institution because of the observed decrease in treatment-related complications. Methods: From May 2001 to October 2004, we treated 52 consecutive HNC PTS with RT or CRT and daily SQ A. PTS treated in our SQ A protocol received 500 mg of SQ A at least 30 minutes prior to daily RT. In order to be included in our present study, SQ A PTS had to have completed at least 80% of the prescribed SQ A dose. These PTS were then matched with HC based on age, sex, stage, primary site, smoking status, co-morbidiites, and treatment (RT or CRT). Fourteen PTS treated with SQ A (SQ A Group) were successfully matched with HC (Control Group). The entire costs of these 28 PTS to our institution (including the cost of SQ A) was obtained using our Management Accounting and Analysis database. Cost data was obtained at 6 months and 12 months after the completion of treatment. The median follow-up is 18 months (range 12–31). The economical impact of SQ A on xerostomia and dental care were not addressed in this study. Results: Ten PTS received RT and 18 received CRT. At 6 months of follow-up, the total cost for the Control Group was $196,789 versus $211,711 for the SQ A Group (p= 0.59). At 12 months, the total cost in the Control Group and SQ A Group were $287,594 and $275,654 respectively (p = 0.51). Within the SQ A Group, the cost was lowest in PTS who had never smoked or had a remote (>5 years) smoking history (p < 0.01). Conclusions: This study primarily addresses one of SQ A’s cytoprotective properties, mucositis. Our analysis suggests that we were able to offset the cost of SQ A in most PTS because of fewer complications observed in this group. The cost benefit of SQ A appears to be greater at 12 months vs. 6 months after treatment, suggesting continued cytoprotection. QOL is better in the SQ A Group. We plan to continue to follow these PTS and accrue new ones in a prospective fashion. [Table: see text]

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiotensin (Ang) II may enhance the influence of the sympathetic nervous system at various levels by facilitating norepinephrine (NE) release. We investigated whether such an interaction is evident in the human heart and whether it has an impact on left ventricular (LV) structure. METHODS AND RESULTS Ang I and Ang II concentrations were determined in arterial and coronary sinus (CS) plasma samples in a group of normotensive (n = 10) and hypertensive (n = 18) subjects. Total systemic and cardiac NE spillover was measured using isotope dilution methodology and LV structure by echocardiography. Arterial and CS concentrations of Ang I and Ang II were similar in both groups (Ang II CS, 5.8 +/- 4.0 versus 3.7 +/- 3.1 fmol/ml; P = not significant), as was the Ang II/Ang I ratio (CS, 0.56 +/- 0.17 versus 0.54 +/- 0.22 fmol/fmol; P = not significant). Total systemic (223 +/- 145 versus 374 +/- 149 ng/min; P < 0.05) and cardiac NE spillover (11.7 +/- 6.3 versus 19.4 +/- 10.5 ng/min; P < 0.05) were increased in hypertensive patients, as was LV mass index (LVMI) (86.7 +/- 14.7 versus 117.2 +/- 19.4 g/m; P < 0.001). LVMI correlated with cardiac NE spillover (r = 0.47; P < 0.02). No correlation was evident between CS Ang II and cardiac NE spillover (r = 0.001; P = not significant) or LVMI (r = -0.20; P = not significant). Arterial Ang II tended to correlate with total systemic NE spillover (r = 0.34; P = 0.081). When hypertensive subjects were divided into two groups with either high or low CS Ang II concentration, cardiac NE spillover and LVMI did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSION These findings suggest a growth-promoting effect of increased cardiac sympathetic tone on cardiomyocytes in hypertensive patients, but do not support the notion of a significant role of Ang II for norepinephrine release and LV hypertrophy in the hypertensive human heart.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heightened central sympathetic nervous outflow is common in essential hypertension, contributing to hypertension development and possibly also to complications. Acute sympathetic nervous activation is a proven trigger for adverse cardiovascular events. Accordingly, antihypertensive drugs inhibiting sympathetic outflow represent a theoretically attractive therapeutic option. OBJECTIVES To study the sympatholytic and blood pressure-lowering activity of the imidazoline binding agent rilmenidine at rest and during reflex sympathetic activation. DESIGN AND METHODS We used a randomized, double-blind, 6-week cross-over study, with a 1-week placebo run-in period, two 2-week active treatment intervals (rilmenidine 1 mg twice daily or placebo) and intervening 1-week placebo washout. In 15 hypertensive patients, noradrenaline and adrenaline plasma kinetics and intra-arterial blood pressure measurements were performed at rest, after mental stress (difficult mental arithmetic) and during head-up tilting, at the end of the 2-week dosing periods. RESULTS The noradrenaline spillover rate, indicative of whole body sympathetic activity, was reduced 35% by rilmenidine at rest (P < 0.01) and remained significantly lower during mental stress and tilting, although the increases in noradrenaline spillover with both stimuli were preserved. The effects on intra-arterial blood pressure ran in parallel, a fall in supine resting pressure, but no reduction in blood pressure rise during mental stress and a lack of fall in blood pressure with tilting. On placebo, adrenaline secretion was 0.88 +/- 0.15 nmol/min (mean +/- SE) at rest, increased by 0.42 +/- 0.23 nmol/min with mental stress (P = 0.019) and was unchanged with tilting. Rilmenidine left adrenaline secretion untouched under all conditions. CONCLUSIONS The present study confirms a sympatholytic effect of rilmenidine during supine rest but preservation of sympathetic responses during mental stress and tilting, with the latter underlying a freedom from postural hypotension on the drug. The absence of suppression of reflexive sympathetic responses contrasts with the described effects of rilmenidine in experimental animals, and emphasizes the previously demonstrated unique importance in humans of suprabulbar noradrenergic neuronal projections from the brainstem in regulating tonic sympathetic activity, with these being inhibited by imidazoline binding agents. Sympathetic nervous inhibition with rilmenidine contrasted with an absence of suppression of adrenaline secretion, affirming that sympathetic nervous and adrenal medullary function can be disconnected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heightened central sympathetic nervous outflow is common in essential hypertension, contributing to hypertension development and perhaps also to complications. Acute sympathetic nervous activation is a proven trigger for adverse cardiovascular events. Accordingly, antihypertensive drugs inhibiting sympathetic outflow represent a theoretically attractive therapeutic option. OBJECTIVES To study the sympatholytic and blood pressure lowering activity of the imidazoline binding agent rilmenidine at rest and during reflex sympathetic activation. DESIGN AND METHODS The HERA study (Hyperium Effect on the sympathetic Reflex activation and Adrenaline) is a randomised, double-blind, 6-week cross-over trial, with a 1-week placebo run-in period, two 2-week active treatment intervals (rilmenidine 1 mg bid, placebo) and intervening one week placebo wash-out. In 15 hypertensive patients, noradrenaline and adrenaline plasma kinetics and intra-arterial blood pressure measurements were performed at rest, after mental stress (difficult mental arithmetic) and during head-up tilting, at the end of the 2-week dosing periods. RESULTS The noradrenaline spillover rate, indicative of whole body sympathetic activity, was reduced 35% by rilmenidine at rest (p<0.01) and remained significantly lower during mental stress and tilting, although the increases in noradrenaline spillover with both stimuli were preserved. The effects on intraarterial blood pressure ran in parallel, a fall in supine resting pressure, but no reduction in BP rise during mental stress and a lack of fall in BP with tilting. On placebo, adrenaline secretion was 162 +/- 27 ng/min (mean, SE) at rest, increased by 77 +/- 42 ng/min with mental stress (p=0.019) and was unchanged with tilting. Rilmenidine left adrenaline secretion untouched under all conditions. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms a sympatholytic effect of rilmenidine during supine rest but demonstrates that sympathetic responses during mental stress and tilting are preserved, the latter underlying a perhaps surprising absence of postural hypotension on the drug. The absence of suppression of reflexive sympathetic responses contrasts with the effects of rilmenidine in experimental animals, and emphasises the previously demonstrated unique importance in humans of suprabulbar noradrenergic neuronal projections from the brainstem, which are inhibited by imidazoline binding agents, in regulating tonic sympathetic activity in essential hypertension. Sympathetic nervous inhibition with rilmenidine contrasted with an absence of suppression of the secretion of adrenaline affirming that here, as elsewhere, sympathetic nervous and adrenal medullary function can be disconnected.

Abstract
Panic disorder serves as a clinical model for testing whether mental stress can cause heart disease. Our own cardiologic management of panic disorder provides case material of recurrent emergency room attendances with angina and electrocardiogram ischemia, triggered arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation), and documented coronary artery spasm, in some cases with coronary spasm being complicated by coronary thrombosis. Application of radiotracer catecholamine kinetics and clinical microneurography methodology suggests there is a genetic predisposition to panic disorder that involves faulty neuronal norepinephrine uptake, possibly sensitizing the heart to symptom generation. During panic attacks there are large sympathetic bursts, recorded by clinical microneurography in the muscle sympathetic nerve neurogram, and large increases in cardiac norepinephrine spillover, accompanied by surges of adrenal medullary epinephrine secretion. In other conditions such as heart failure and presumably here also, a high level of sympathetic nervous activation can mediate increased cardiac risk. The sympathetic nerve cotransmitter, neuropeptide Y (NPY), is released from the cardiac sympathetics during panic attacks, an intriguing finding given that NPY can cause coronary artery spasm. There is ongoing, continuous release of epinephrine from the heart in panic sufferers, perhaps attributable to epinephrine loading of cardiac sympathetic nerves by uptake from plasma during panic attacks, or possibly to in situ synthesis of epinephrine through the action of intracardiac phenylethanolamine-N-methytransferase (PNMT) activated by repeated cortisol responses. We have used internal jugular venous sampling and measurement of overflowing lipophilic brain monoamine metabolites to quantify brain norepinephrine and serotonin turnover in untreated patients with panic disorder. We find normal norepinephrine turnover but a marked increase in brain serotonin turnover in patients with panic disorder, in the absence of a panic attack, which presumably represents an underlying neurotransmitter substrate for the condition.

Abstract
A study of the potential for the development of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) beyond the specifications of the baseline design is presented. These future developments include delivery of X-ray pulses in the 1 fs regime, extension of the spectral range, increase of the FEL power, exploitation of the spontaneous emission, and a more flexible time structure. As this potential is exploited, the LCLS can maintain its role as a world-leading instrument for many years beyond its commissioning in 2008 and initial operation as the world's first X-ray free-electron laser.

Abstract
There is growing evidence that essential hypertension is commonly neurogenic and is initiated and sustained by sympathetic nervous system overactivity. Potential mechanisms include increased central sympathetic outflow, altered norepinephrine (NE) neuronal reuptake, diminished arterial baroreflex dampening of sympathetic nerve traffic, and sympathetic neuromodulation by angiotensin II. To address this issue, we used microneurography and radiotracer dilution methodology to measure regional sympathetic activity in 22 hypertensive patients and 11 normotensive control subjects. The NE transport inhibitor desipramine was infused to directly assess the potential role of impaired neuronal NE reuptake. To evaluate possible angiotensin sympathetic neuromodulation, the relation of arterial and coronary sinus plasma concentrations of angiotensin II to sympathetic activity was investigated. Hypertensive patients displayed increased muscle sympathetic nerve activity and elevated total systemic, cardiac, and renal NE spillover. Cardiac neuronal NE reuptake was decreased in hypertensive subjects. In response to desipramine, both the reduction of fractional transcardiac 3[H]NE extraction and the increase in cardiac NE spillover were less pronounced in hypertensive patients. DNA sequencing analysis of the NE transporter gene revealed no mutations that could account for reduced transporter activity. Arterial baroreflex control of sympathetic nerve traffic was not diminished in hypertensive subjects. Angiotensin II plasma concentrations were similar in both groups and were not related to indexes of sympathetic activation. Increased rates of sympathetic nerve firing and reduced neuronal NE reuptake both contribute to sympathetic activation in hypertension, whereas a role for dampened arterial baroreflex restraint on sympathetic nerve traffic and a peripheral neuromodulating influence of angiotensin II appear to be excluded.

Abstract
1. Although the importance of sympathetic nervous activation in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension is well documented, the exact pathophysiology of the sympathetic nervous dysfunction present remains to be delineated. There are several possible explanations for the increased spillover of noradrenaline from the kidneys and heart to plasma, a key piece of evidence supporting the neurogenic basis of essential hypertension, in addition to the obvious one of an increased rate of sympathetic nerve firing. 2. The possibility that there may be an increase in the density of sympathetic innervation in human hypertension, well documented in the spontaneously hypertensive rat, is currently under investigation by us. 3. Adrenaline cotransmission is present in the cardiac sympathetic nerves of patients with essential hypertension, presumptive evidence of their exposure to high levels of stress and a possible basis for the observed increase in cardiac noradrenaline spillover, through presynaptic augmentation of noradrenaline release. 4. Phenotypic evidence exists also of faulty noradrenaline reuptake into the sympathetic nerves of the heart in essential hypertension, an abnormality that would amplify the sympathetic neural signal by impairing removal of noradrenaline from the synaptic cleft.

Abstract
As the world faces an obesity "epidemic," the mechanisms by which overweight is translated into insulin resistance, hypertension, and diabetes need to be better understood. Although the processes of transition remain uncertain, overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system appears pivotal. In obesity, there is stimulation of sympathetic outflow to the kidneys, evident in increased rates of spillover of noradrenaline into the renal veins, and to skeletal muscle vasculature, demonstrated with microneurography. The cause is unclear, but possibly involves the stimulatory action of leptin released from adipose tissue, or from within the brain, for which there is recent evidence in human obesity. The high renal sympathetic tone contributes to hypertension development by stimulating renin secretion and through promoting renal tubular reabsorption of sodium. Neurally mediated skeletal muscle vasoconstriction reduces glucose delivery and uptake in muscle. Impairment of glucose uptake by skeletal muscle is a hallmark of insulin resistance syndromes. Pharmacologic sympathetic nervous suppression within the central nervous system with imidazoline receptor-binding agents such as rilmenidine is a logical therapeutic approach for lowering blood pressure (BP) in patients with essential hypertension, in whom sympathetic activity is often increased. In addition, drugs of this class appear to have the capacity to favorably modify insulin sensitivity, which has particular relevance in the treatment of hypertensive diabetic patients. In the hypertension accompanying maturity onset obesity, with recent recommendations from advisory bodies setting lower goal BP, and with these lower targets often being reached only with combinations of antihypertensive agents, it is advisable that all drugs used in combination therapy have a favorable or at least a neutral effect on insulin resistance.

Abstract
The present study was designed to estimate the release of noradrenaline, and to evaluate the efficiency of noradrenaline vesicular transport, as indicated from measures of dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG), and synthesis in the medulla and hypothalamus following subarachnoid haemorrhage in rats. Subarachnoid haemorrhage was induced by the injection of homologous blood into the cisterna magna (n = 11). Sham operated animals served as controls (n = 11). Three days following subarachnoid haemorrhage, medulla and hypothalamus were dissected and placed in an in vitro superfusion system. Exposure to K(+) (50 mM) for 2 min served as a stimulus for the release of the neurotransmitter noradrenaline, its precursor (dihydroxyphenylalanine [DOPA]) and intraneuronal metabolite, DHPG. Basal noradrenaline overflow from both the medulla and hypothalamus were similar in the two groups of rats but basal DOPA overflow from the medulla was significantly reduced in the subarachnoid haemorrhage animals (0.97 +/- 0.15 vs. 1.97 +/- 0.38 pg/10 min/mg, p < 0.01). Administration of K(+) induced the release of noradrenaline, the response from the medulla in the subarachnoid haemorrhage group being attenuated (p < 0.01) compared with the sham operated animals (174% and 240%, respectively). K(+) induced a similar release of noradrenaline from the hypothalamus in both groups of rats (239% in sham animals and 283% in the subarachnoid haemorrhage group). The overflow of DHPG from both the hypothalamus and medulla was similar in both groups of animals. Our results suggest that the diminution in noradrenaline release from the medulla occurs as a result of a reduction in the rate of noradrenaline synthesis and release.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the effects of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) on systemic and regional sympathetic nervous activity (SNA) in both patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and healthy control subjects. BACKGROUND Although the response of SNA to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) has been well documented, the response of SNA to BNP is largely unknown. METHODS We assessed cardiac and whole-body SNA using the norepinephrine (NE) tracer dilution method before and after infusion of two doses of BNP (3 and 15 ng/kg body weight per min) in 11 patients with stable CHF (ejection fraction 24 +/- 2%) and 12 age-matched healthy control subjects. In addition, renal SNA and hemodynamic variables were assessed at baseline and after the higher BNP dose. RESULTS Low dose BNP did not change blood pressure or whole-body NE spillover, but reduced cardiac NE spillover in both groups by 32 +/- 13 pmol/min (p < 0.05). In both groups, high dose BNP reduced pulmonary capillary pressure by 5 +/- 1 mm Hg (p < 0.001) and mean arterial pressure by 6 +/- 3 mm Hg (p < 0.05), without a concomitant increase in whole-body NE spillover; however, cardiac NE spillover returned to baseline levels. Renal NE spillover remained virtually unchanged in healthy control subjects (501 +/- 120 to 564 +/- 115 pmol/min), but was reduced in patients with CHF (976 +/- 133 to 656 +/- 127 pmol/min, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate a sympathoinhibitory effect of BNP. Cardiac sympathetic inhibition was observed at BNP concentrations within the physiologic range, whereas high dose BNP, when arterial and filling pressures fell and reflex sympathetic stimulation was expected, systemic and cardiac SNA equated to baseline values. There was inhibition of renal SNA in patients with CHF, but not in healthy control subjects. Whether this effect is specific to BNP or related to reduced filling pressure remains to be determined.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated in the conscious dog that portal glucose infusion creates a signal that increases net hepatic glucose uptake and hepatic glycogen deposition. Experiments leading to an understanding of the mechanism by which this change occurs will be facilitated if this finding can be reproduced in the rat. Rats weighing 275-300 g were implanted with four indwelling catheters (one in the portal vein, one in the left carotid artery, and two in the right jugular vein) that were externalized between the scapulae. The rats were studied in a conscious, unrestrained condition 7 days after surgery, following a 24-h fast. Each experiment consisted of a 30- to 60-min equilibration, a 30-min baseline, and a 120-min test period. In the test period, a pancreatic clamp was performed by using somatostatin, insulin, and glucagon. Glucose was given simultaneously either through the jugular vein to clamp the arterial blood level at 220 mg/dl (Pe low group) or at 250 mg/dl (Pe high group), or via the hepatic portal vein (Po group; 6 mg. kg(-1). min(-1)) and the jugular vein to clamp the arterial blood glucose level to 220 mg/dl. In the test period, the arterial plasma glucagon and insulin levels were not significantly different in the three groups (36 +/- 2, 33 +/- 2, and 30 +/- 2 pg/ml and 1.34 +/- 0.08, 1. 37 +/- 0.18, and 1.66 +/- 0.11 ng/ml in Po, Pe low, and Pe high groups, respectively). The arterial blood glucose levels during the test period were 224 +/- 4 mg/dl for Po, 220 +/- 3 for Pe low, and 255 +/- 2 for Pe high group. The liver glycogen content (micromol glucose/g liver) in the two Pe groups was not statistically different (51 +/- 7 and 65 +/- 8, respectively), whereas the glycogen level in the Po group was significantly greater (93 +/- 9, P < 0.05). Because portal glucose delivery also augments hepatic glycogen deposition in the rat, as it does in the dogs, mechanistic studies relating to its function can now be undertaken in this species.

Abstract
We have identified a series of novel inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase by randomly screening natural product extracts using an in vitro biochemical assay designed to identify inhibitors of integrase-catalysed strand transfer. Equisetin recovered from the fungus Fusarium heterosporum and a novel enantiomeric homologue of equisetin from Phoma sp. were isolated as inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase in vitro. Two additional analogues, a novel decalin derivative, integric acid, and oteromycin were also discovered to be inhibitors of integrase. Equisetin and related compounds inhibit 3' end-processing and strand transfer as well as disintegration catalysed by either the full-length enzyme or the truncated integrase core domain (amino acids 50-212). These compounds also inhibit strand transfer reactions catalysed by stable complexes assembled in vitro and integration reactions catalysed by pre-integration complexes isolated from HIV-1-infected cells. The compounds described in this report are structurally novel and mechanistically distinct from many previously described inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase. These results demonstrate the utility of using an appropriately configured assay to identify compounds that are effective post-assembly and the potential of isolating novel integrase inhibitors from complex natural product extracts.

Abstract
In vitro assay systems which use recombinant retroviral integrase (IN) and short DNA oligonucleotides fail to recapitulate the full-site integration reaction as it is known to occur in vivo. The relevance of using such circumscribed in vitro assays to define inhibitors of retroviral integration has not been formerly demonstrated. Therefore, we analyzed a series of structurally diverse inhibitors with respect to inhibition of both half-site and full-site strand transfer reactions with either recombinant or virion-produced IN. Half-site and full-site reactions catalyzed by avian myeloblastosis virus and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) IN from virions are shown to be equivalently sensitive to inhibition by compounds which inhibit half-site reactions catalyzed by the recombinant HIV-1 IN. These studies therefore support the utility of using in vitro assays employing either recombinant or virion-derived IN to identify inhibitors of integration.

Abstract
Synthesis of influenza virus mRNA is primed by capped and methylated (cap 1, m7GpppXm) RNAs which the virus derives by endonucleolytic cleavage from RNA polymerase II transcripts in host cells. The conserved nature of the endonucleolytic processing provides a unique target for the development of antiviral agents for influenza viruses. A series of 4-substituted 2,4-dioxobutanoic acid compounds has been identified as selective inhibitors of this activity in both influenza A and B viruses. These inhibitors exhibited 50% inhibitory concentrations in the range of 0.2 to 29.0 microM for cap-dependent influenza virus transcription and had no effect on the activity of other viral and cellular polymerases when tested at 100- to 500-fold higher concentrations. The compounds did not inhibit the initiation or elongation of influenza virus mRNA synthesis but specifically inhibited the cleavage of capped RNAs by the influenza virus endonuclease and were not inhibitory to the activities of other nucleases. Additionally, the compounds specifically inhibited replication of influenza A and B viruses in cell culture with potencies comparable to the 50% inhibitory concentrations obtained for transcription.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to improve quantification of the extent of osteoporosis that accompanies spinal cord injuries (SCI) of various types, using single photon densitometry. In this study, we evaluated subjects with complete and incomplete SCI to determine whether there is a correlation between mobility and bone density. We created an index to rank the various levels of mobility among SCI subjects. Mobility index parameters ranged from 1, for complete immobility, to 9, for the full mobility of the uninjured control population. Incomplete SCI subjects (motor and/or sensory) ranked from 2 to 8 on the mobility scale. We also attempted to define clearly the mechanism of osteoporosis in those with predominantly unilateral SCI (Brown-Sequard syndrome). Using single photon absorptiometry (SPA), we found a strong correlation between our mobility index and observed bone density. These observations clearly show that osteoporosis is affected by the subject's level of physical activity. These observations also support the hypothesis that SCI individuals benefit from efforts to maintain a standing posture with some regularity. This effort to improve bone density slows the development of osteoporosis, a process that results in physical impairments in the SCI population.

Abstract
When enteral nutrition is excluded from animals maintained solely with total parenteral nutrition (TPN), atrophy of the intestinal mucosa is observed. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are produced in the colon by the fermentation of dietary carbohydrates and fiber polysaccharides and have been shown to stimulate mucosal-cell mitotic activity in the intestine. This study compared the effects of an intravenous and an intracecal infusion of SCFAs on the small-bowel mucosa. Rats received standard TPN, TPN with SCFAs (sodium acetate, propionate, and butyrate), TPN with an intracecal infusion of SCFAs, or rat food. After 7 d jejunal and ileal mucosal weights, DNA, RNA, and protein were determined. Standard TPN produced significant atrophy of the jejunal and ileal mucosa. Both the intracecal and intravenous infusion of SCFAs significantly reduced the mucosal atrophy associated with TPN. The intravenous and intracolonic infusion of SCFAs were equally effective in inhibiting small-bowel mucosal atrophy.

Abstract
Researchers and clinicians have tended to minimize the role of psychological characteristics of male spouse abusers, which has restricted the selection of potentially appropriate treatment interventions. A review of clinical literature on psychological characteristics of male batterers, including some studies incorporating psychometric testing, suggests that many of the characteristics of batterers are consistent with DSM-III criteria for personality disorders. Several authors have defined subtypes of batterers, which can be associated with specific types of personality disorders. Treatment programs for male spouse abusers should address the specific problems presented by patients with personality disorders, including alcohol-abusing batterers, a particularly difficult group to treat.

Abstract
Part I of this study described the procedure of electrothermal removal of brackets (ETD) that were bonded on human teeth. The temperature generated at the pulpal wall due to ETD was significantly lower than an established primate threshold. Part II of the study investigated the histologic features of the pulp after ETD. There was some cellular modification that corresponded to placement of the extraction forceps, but there was no evidence of cellular pathosis or modification due to ETD. The data in Parts I and II of this study suggest that ETD is a physiologically acceptable alternative to conventional debracketing techniques.

Abstract
The contemporary techniques of bracket removal require shearing or compression forces. The force necessary to separate the bracket from the tooth is sufficient to cause deformation of the bracket and, in some cases, is capable of damaging the tooth. An alternative to conventional bracket removal is electrothermic debracketing (ETD). ETD is the technique of removing bonded brackets from enamel surfaces with a cordless battery device that generates heat. The heat is transferred to the bracket by a blade that is placed in the bracket slot. The bracket is firmly held by a thumb-activated lock-on arm of the ETD unit. When the heat applied to the bracket is transferred to and deforms the adhesive-bracket interface, the bracket can be gently lifted from the enamel surface without distortion of the bracket or excessive force to the underlying enamel. Part I of this study measured the in vitro rise in temperature at the pulpal wall when ETD is used. These data are correlated with established primate threshold temperatures that have been reported to cause pulpal pathosis. All ETD procedures in the sample elicited pulpal wall temperatures that were significantly below the primate baseline. When water spray was used in conjunction with ETD, the mean ultimate increase in pulpal wall temperature was less than 1 degree C.
