Atrial myocytes have two functionally separate $Ca^{2+}$ release sites: those in peripheral sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) adjacent to the $Ca^{2+}$ channels of surface membrane and those in central SR not associated with $Ca^{2+}$ channels. Study on the spatio-temporal properties of focal $Ca^{2+}$ releases (“sparks”) occurring spontaneously in central and peripheral sites of voltage-clamped rat atrial myocytes, using rapid two-dimensional (2-D) confocal $Ca^{2+}$ imaging revealed that peripheral and central sparks were similar in size and release time (~300,000 $Ca^{2+}$ ions for=12 ms), but significantly larger and longer than ventricular sparks. Both sites were resistant to Cd$^{2+}$ and inhibited by ryanodine. Peripheral sparks were brighter and flattened against surface membrane, had ~5-fold higher frequency, ~2 times faster diffusion coefficient, and dissipated abruptly. Central sparks, in contrast, occurred less frequently, were elongated along the cellular longitudinal axis, and dissipated slowly. Compound sparks (composed of 2-5 unitary focal releases) aligned longitudinally, occurred more frequently at the center.at the center.

본 연구에서는 발효어분이 넙치의 증체율에 미친 조직학적 영향을 규명하기 위하여 수입어분에 대한 발효어분의 대체비율 0, 25, 50, 75 및 100%로 사육한 넙치로부터 간 및 근육을 적출하여 광학현미경을 이용한 미세구조적 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 25% 대체군에서 간중량지수가 가장 높고 간 지방함유율이 가장 낮은 점으로부터 25% 대체군의 간의 우수한 건강성이 시사되었다. 또한 근섬유의 단면적도 25% 대체군이 가장 넓게 나타나, 운동성 또한 우수한 것으로 추측되었다. 즉 간 및 근육의 우수한 건강 상태가 높은 증체율을 나타내는데 영향을 미쳤음을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 증체율이 낮은 75% 및 100% 대체군에서는 간건강 및 근섬유의 발달이 좋지 못했는데, 이는 발효어분이 일정 비율 이상 포함될 경우 넙치의 건강에 좋지 않은 영향을 미칠 수 있음이 시사되었다.

Background: Popeye deformity is common after rupture of the biceps muscle's long head tendon. Herein, we report on histological changes in biceps brachii muscles following tenotomy of the long head biceps tendon. Methods: Twelve Sprague-Dawley rats (12-week-old) underwent tenotomy of the long head biceps tendon in the right shoulder. At postoperative weeks 4, 7, and 10, the operative shoulders were removed by detaching the biceps brachii muscle from the glenoid scapula and humerus; the opposite shoulders were removed as controls. H&E staining was performed to elucidate histological changes in myocytes. Oil-red O staining was performed to determine fatty infiltration. Myostatin antibody immunohistochemistry staining was performed as myostatin is expressed by skeletal muscle cells during myogenesis. Results: H&E staining results revealed no changes in muscle cell nuclei. There were no adipocytes detected. Compared with that of the control biceps, the cross-sectional area of the long head biceps was significantly smaller (p=0.00). Statistical changes in the total extent of the 100 muscle cells were significant (p=0.00). Oil-red O staining revealed no fatty infiltration. Myostatin antibody immunohistochemical staining revealed no significant difference between the two sides. Conclusions: Muscular changes after tenotomy of the long head biceps included a decrease in the size of the individual muscle cells and in relative muscle mass. There were no changes observed in muscle cell nuclei and no fatty infiltration. Moreover, there were no changes detected by myostatin antibody immunohistochemistry assay.
