Cardiac muscle necrosis

Troponins T or I Proteins found predominantly in cardiac muscle that regulate calcium-mediated interaction of actin and myosin troponins I and T are released into the blood from myocytes at the time of myocardial cell necrosis after infarction. These biochemical markers become elevated and are used in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. 

Myocardial infarction ischaemia in the cardiac muscle leading to necrosis occurring as a result of reduction in coronary blood flow... 

In general, the California encephalitis subgroup viruses spread from the site of inoculation to skeletal muscles, which is the major site of replication. The virus then spreads to the lymphatic channels, thus spreading to additional skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles. Ultimately, the virus ends up in the CNS, where viral replication can occur in neurons and glial cells. Due to considerable neuronal necrosis, death can... 

In horses, diminazene aceturate should be administered by deep i.m. injection divided between several injection sites. The injection sites should be massaged in order to promote drug absorption. At the dose rates suggested here, signs of toxicity are imcommon but local reactions, caused by muscle necrosis, may be severe. Diminazene aceturate should be avoided in horses unless other drugs are either ineffective or unavailable. Toxic doses result in respiratory distress, depression, cardiac signs, hypersalivation and diarrhea. Toxic doses may be treated with calcium salts. 

Moreover, myopathic Syrian hamsters given a calcium-deficient diet exhibit fewer lesions in skeletal and cardiac muscle (17). Conversely, facilitation of calcium uptake with ionophores or membrane-active toxins such as lysophospholipids or macrolide antibiotics accelerate necrosis of isolated skeletal muscle (19) and rat hepatocytes in culture (10). 

Fortunately, no such conflict of interests arises with diphenylamines 9 and phenylenediamines lla-d. Various DPA were tested and approved as AO not only in rubbers, their traditional application field the physically persistent 9b and 9a have also been approved for stabilization of plastics in contact with nonfatty food [307]. Derivatives of PD are the most versatile nowadays as mbber antidegradants. Oral administration to experimental animals indicated some danger of necrosis of skeletal and/or cardiac muscles [311]. This has been explained by in vivo oxidation of PD lid into quinone imine by muscle mitochondria and establishing an alternative pathway for electron transport in the physiological respiratory chain. 

Lidocaine [2-(diethylamino)-N-(2, 6-dimethylphenyl) acetamide monohydrochloride] is the most commonly used amino amide-type local anesthetic. Lidocaine is very lipid soluble and, thus, has a more rapid onset and a longer duration of action than most amino ester-type local anesthetics, such as procaine and tetracaine. It can be administered parenterally (with or without epinephrine) or topically either by itself or in combination with prilocaine or etidocaine as a eutectic mixture that is very popular with pediatric patients. The use of lidocaine-epinephrine mixtures should be avoided, however, in areas with limited vascular supply to prevent tissue necrosis. Lidocaine also frequently is used as a class IB antiarrhythmic agent for the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias, both because it binds and inhibits sodium channels in the cardiac muscle and because of its longer duration of action than amino ester-type local anesthetics. 

YTX induced marked intracytoplasmic edema in cardiac muscle cells after a 3 h i.p. injection. In contrast, desulfated YTX after 24 h injection causes severe fatty acid degeneration and intracellular necrosis in liver and pancreas but not in the heart. The conclusion was that the target organ of the toxin was the heart [4]. However, after oral administration only moderate changes in the heart were observed [2]. On the other, YTX induced morphofunctional changes in neurons, in particular in calcium binding proteins from the cytoskeleton, after 2 h i.p. injection [48]. 

Houchin and Smith have described death in vitamin E deficient rabbits as being due to myocardial failure. They have also described an increased uptake of oxygen by the cardiac muscle of vitamin E deficient hamsters. It had previously been reported by Freire that vitamin E deficient rats showed foci of hyaline necrosis in the myocardium. Freire and Magahas confirmed this result and found accompanying changes in the electrocardiogram. Subsequently Mason and EmmeP described necrosis of the myocardium and fibrous replacement of the damaged tissue. 

The answer h3[IVA 2], Monensin, an ionophore, causes acute cardiac effects by interring with calcium and sodium transport Elevated intracellular calcium levels impair mitochondrial respiration, resulting in significant myocardial necrosis. The damaged myocardium is repaired by fibrosis ich lea to cardiac muscle insufficiency, exercise intolerance, and sometimes sudden death in survivors of acute rtxuiensin toxicosis. 

The advantages and disadvantages of each method were systematically analyzed. The protein targets examined included Smad proteins (which play a role in cardiac muscle development) and various regulatory proteins found in human serum which are involved in the immune response, including immunoglobin (IgG), interleukin-Ibeta (IL-IP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-13 (IL-13), interferon-gamma (lEN-y) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a). 

There is evidence that y-aminobutyric acid A receptors may be modified during SE and become less responsive to endogenous agonists and antagonists. Two phases of GCSE have been identified. During phase I, each seizure produces marked increases in plasma epinephrine, norepinephrine, and steroid concentrations that may cause hypertension, tachycardia, and cardiac arrhythmias. Muscle contractions and hypoxia can cause acidosis, and hypotension, shock, rhabdomyolysis, secondary hyperkalemia, and acute tubular necrosis may ensue.
