SummaryExperimental data indicate large between-organs variations in rates of synthesis of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), which may reflect important differences in the capacity for constitutive and stimulated t-PA release from the vascular endothelium. In this report we describe a new multiple-organ experimental in vivo model for simultaneous determinations of net release/uptake rates of t-PA across the coronary, splanchnic, pulmonary, and hepatic vascular beds. In eleven intact anesthetized pigs, blood samples were obtained simultaneously from the proximal aorta, coronary sinus, pulmonary artery, and portal and hepatic veins. Plasma flows were monitored separately for each vascular region. Total plasma t-PA was determined by ELISA with a porcine t-PA standard. Regional net release/uptake rates were defined as the product of arteriovenous concentration gradients and local plasma flows. The net release of t-PA across the splanchnic vascular bed was very high, with a mean output of 1,919 ng total t-PA X min-1 (corresponding to 90 ng per min and 100 g tissue). The net coronary t-PA release was 68 ng X min-1 (30 ng X min-1 X 100 g"1)- Pulmonary net fluxes of t-PA were variable without any significant net t-PA release. The net hepatic uptake rate was 4,855 ng X min-1 (436 ng X min-1 X 100 g-1). Net trans-organ changes of active t-PA mirrored those of total t-PA. The results demonstrate marked regional differences in net release rates of t-PA in vivo. The experimental model we present offers new possibilities for evaluation of regional secretion patterns in the intact animal.

Protons in the Sun’s core are a dense plasma allowing fusion events where two protons initially join to produce a deuteron. Eventually this leads to alpha particles, the mass-four nucleus of helium, releasing kinetic energy. Schrodinger’s equation allows particles to penetrate classically forbidden Coulomb barriers with small but important probabilities. The approximation known as Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) is used by Gamow to predict the rate of proton–proton fusion in the Sun, shown to be in agreement with measurements. A simplified formula is given for the power density due to fusion in the plasma constituting the Sun’s core. The properties of atomic nuclei are briefly summarized.
