SUMMARY The axial muscle of most teleost species consists of a deep bulk of fast-contracting white fibres and a superficial strip of slow-contracting red fibres. To investigate the embryological development of fast and slow muscle in trout embryos, we carried out single and double in situ hybridisation with fast and slow myosin heavy chain (MyHC)-isoform-specific riboprobes. This showed that the slow-MyHC-positive cells originate in a region of the somite close to the notochord. As the somite matures in a rostrocaudal progression, the slow-MyHC-positive cells appear to migrate radially away from the notochord to the lateral surface of the myotome, where they form the superficial strip of slow muscle. Surprisingly, the expression pattern of the fast MyHC showed that the differentiation of fast muscle commences in the medial domain of the somite before the differentiation and migration of the slow muscle precursors. Later, as the differentiation of fast muscle progressively spreads from the inside to the outside of the myotome, slow-MyHC-expressing cells become visible medially. Our observations that the initial differentiation of fast muscle takes place in proximity to axial structures and occurs before the differentiation and migration of slow muscle progenitors are not in accord with the pattern of muscle formation in teleosts previously described in the zebrafish Danio rerio, which is often used as the model organism in fishes.

The myosin heavy-chain (MHC) isoform pattern was studied by biochemical methods in the slow-twitch (soleus) and fast-twitch (gastrocnemius) muscles of adult rats during atrophy after tenotomy and recovery after tendon regeneration. The tenotomized slow muscle atrophied more than the tenotomized fast muscle. During the 12 days after tenotomy the total MHC content decreased by about 85% in the slow muscle, and only by about 35% in the fast muscle. In the slow muscle the ratio of MHC-1 to MHC-2A(2S) remained almost unchanged, showing that similar diminution of both isoforms occurs. In the fast muscle the MHC-2A/MHC-2B ratio decreased, showing the loss of MHC-2A mainly. After tendon regeneration, the slow muscle recovered earlier than the fast muscle. Full recovery of the muscles was not observed until up to 4 months later. The embryonic MHC, which seems to be expressed in denervated adult muscle fibres, was not detected by immunoblotting in the tenotomized muscles during either atrophy or recovery after tendon regeneration. The influence of tenotomy and denervation on expression of the MHC isoforms is compared. The results show that: (a) MHC-1 and MHC-2A(2S) are very sensitive to tenotomy, whereas MHC-2B is much less sensitive; (b) expression of the embryonic MHC in adult muscle seems to be inhibited by the intact neuromuscular junction.

Isometric Twitch

Chronic overload of a skeletal muscle by removing its synergists produces hypertrophy and marked changes in its metabolic and biochemical properties. In this study alterations in the contractile properties of the plantaris 12–14 wk after bilateral removal of the soleus and gastrocnemius were investigated. In situ isometric and isotonic contractile properties of overloaded plantaris (OP), normal plantaris (NP), and normal soleus (NS) were tested at 33 +/- 1 degree C. Op were 97% heavier than NP and produced 43 and 46% higher twitch (Pt) and tetanic (Po) tensions. However, NP produced more tension per cross-sectional area than OP (mean 26.2 vs. 21.6 N/cm2; P less than 0.001). Isometric twitch time to peak tension (TPT) and half-relaxation time (1/2RT) were significantly longer in OP (mean 36.4 vs. 32.5 ms and 23.9 vs. 18.4 ms). Mean maximum shortening velocity (Vmax, mm/s per 1,000 sarcomeres) were 34.1 for NP and 18.1 for OP (P less than 0.001). The degree of conversion toward the Vmax of NS was 74% compared with only 19 and 14% for TPT and 1/2RT. OP produced a higher proportion of Po at a given stimulation frequency than NP and showed less fatigue than NP after repetitive stimulation. Chronic overload of the fast plantaris modified to varying degrees the contractile properties studied toward that resembling a slow muscle. Although the maximum tension of OP was markedly enhanced it was not in proportion to the increase in muscle mass.

The epoxidized vegetables oils can be used a raw material for a broad range of products, from pharmaceutical and plastics to paint and adhesives. Epoxidation of oleic acid was carried out by using hydrogen peroxide as an oxygen donor and formic acid as an oxygen carrier in the presence of sulphuric acid act as catalyst. The crude oleic acid contained 75% oleic acid, 12.2% linoleic acid, 6.5% palmitic acid and 7.5% stearic acid, and had an iodine value of 98.99 g/100 g. The epoxidation of oleic acid with almost complete conversion of unsaturated carbon and negligible oxirane cleavage can be obtained by the in situ techniques. An analytical approach for the prediction of the partition coefficient for formic acid between oleic acid and water, dependent on temperature and composition, has been proposed.

Artificial Oxygen Carrier

Liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin (LHb), which is structurally similar to red blood cells (RBC) except smaller size (250 nm), can serve as blood substitute comparable to RBC. We have reported that intraosseous blood infusion (IOI) is effective treatment in shock mice model. IOI is alternative to peripheral i.v. infusion and is expected as an important field treatment in civilian emergency because of no collapse of intramedullary blood vessels in the bone marrow in shock. However, we did not evaluate the side effects of LHb in IOI. Total 70% hemorrhagic shock was induced by femoral vein bleeding. Immediately after bleeding, 17 mice were resuscitated with tibial bone IOI of 5% albumin (5% albumin), 18 mice resuscitated with mouse-washed RBC (Wash RBC) and 14 mice resuscitated with LHb (LHb-group). Survival rates were compared and the temporal changes in cytokins (TNF, INFγ) as well as liver and renal function (s-ALT, s-creatinine) were measured. All mice survived 48 h after IOI of LHb whereas only 47% and 45% mice survived in 5% albumin and Wash RBC, respectively (Fig. 1 ). The changes in TNF and INFγlevels after IOI were not statistically different among 3 groups (Fig. 2 ) and no side effects were found on liver and renal function.. Conclusions: LHb has a better anti-shock effect than RBC by using IOI probably due to smaller size and IOI of LHb could be useful in disaster medicine. In addition, IOI of LHb shows no significant effects on cytokins, liver and renal function. Figure 1 Figure 2
