    【目的】当シミュレーションラボでは毎年4回程度日本救急医学会認定ICLS(Immediate Cardiac Life Support)講習会を開いている。講習会において、VF/PulselessVT「以下PLVTと略す」、PEA/Asystoleのシナリオによってチームごとの胸骨圧迫の質が変化している事に注目し、それぞれの差異を調べた。【方法】対象者は研修医10名、臨床検査技師4名、看護師15名、医師1名。VF/PLVT、PEA/Asystoleのシナリオのチームごとの胸骨圧迫深さ平均値、及び5cm未満の胸骨圧迫の割合を測定した。評価はALSシミュレーター、アンブマン2016アドバンス(アンブ社製、デンマーク)の評価機能により測定。【結果】胸骨圧迫の深さ平均値はVF/PLVTでは5.53±0.54cm、PEA/心静止は4.94±0.81cmとなった。5cm未満の胸骨圧迫の割合はVF/PLVTは24.6%、PEA/心静止は47.0%、となった。深さ平均値の各有意差はVF/PLVT:PEA/心静止のp値=0.0297となり有意差が認められた。5cm未満の割合に対する有意差はVF/PLVT:PEA/心静止のp値=0.0302となり有意差が認められた。以上によりPEA/心静止のシナリオの時に胸骨圧迫が浅くなり、5cmを満たさない胸骨圧迫の割合が増える事がわかった。【考察】PEA/心静止のシナリオ時、胸骨圧迫が平均して浅くなりかつ5cmに到達出来ない胸骨圧迫の割合が増える事がわかった。胸骨圧迫の質が低下する理由の一つとして胸骨圧迫をおこないながら鑑別診断をする事が影響を与えたと考えられる。よって原因が明らかではないCPRでは胸骨圧迫の深さが浅くならないようにより注意する必要がある。(著者抄録)

  • Local biosynthesis of corticosterone in rat skeletal muscle

    © 2020 Elsevier Ltd Adrenal corticosterone plays crucial roles in energy metabolism and immuno-reactivity throughout the body. As we have previously shown that corticosterone biosynthesis in C2C12 myoblasts, we study about corticosterone biosynthesis in rat skeletal muscles. It was found that enzymatic activities producing corticosterone and testosterone except the activity of P450scc in rat skeletal muscle as like as C2C12 cells. The CYP11B mRNA encoding cytochrome P45011β that mediates 11-deoxycorticosterone hydroxylase activity, producing corticosterone was expressed in skeletal muscles. In immunoblotting analysis, cytochrome P45011β protein was expressed in rat muscles and whole organs especially higher levels in adrenal and brain. The localizations of corticosterone content and enzymatic activities involved in the production of corticosterone were preferentially observed in gastrocnemius fibers rather than in soleus fibers. The immunohistochemical analysis showed that the fast-twitch or type II muscle fibers positive to antibody against fast myosin heavy chain were preferentially stained with anti-cytochrome P45011β antibody in the gastrocnemius fiber. In addition, we detected corticosterone biosynthesis from pregnenolone sulfate conjugates in perfusion of the rat hindquarter. Corticosterone is synthesized in rat skeletal muscles and the biosynthesis was localized in the fast-twitch or type II muscle fibers. We speculated that the local synthesized corticosterone might be involved in glucocorticoid-induced muscle atrophy that preferentially occurs in fast muscle fibers, and the initial substrate of the local CORT biosynthesis were supported to be performed from the conjugates such as pregnenolone sulfate circulating in the blood flow.

  • Extension of survival in bilaterally adrenalectomized mice by implantation of SF-1/Ad4BP-induced steroidogenic cells

    © Endocrine Society 2020. All rights reserved. Mesenchymal stroma/stem cells (MSCs) exist in adult tissues, such as adipose tissue and bone marrow, and differentiate into cells of multiple lineages. In previous studies, we found that MSCs differentiate into steroidogenic cells by forced expression of steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1)/ adrenal 4 binding protein (Ad4BP), the master regulator of steroidogenesis and differentiation of pituitary gonadotrophs, adrenal glands, and gonads. In this study, SF-1/Ad4BP-induced steroidogenic cells derived from mouse adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ADSCs) were implanted under the kidney capsule of bilateral adrenalectomized (bAdx) mice. bAdx mice did not survive after 7 days. However, 4 of 9 bAdx mice implanted with SF-1/Ad4BP-induced steroidogenic cells, 1 of 10 bAdx mice transplanted with control ADSCs, and bAdx mice transplanted with an adrenal gland survived for 30 days. Plasma corticosterone levels in bAdx mice implanted with SF-1/Ad4BP-induced steroidogenic cells and control ADSCs were 5.41 ± 2.26 ng/mL (mean ± SEM) and undetectable at 7 days after implantation, respectively. After removal of the kidney bearing the graft from the surviving mice at 30 days after implantation, plasma corticosterone was not detected in any of the samples. Immunohistochemical staining revealed SF-1/Ad4BPpositive cells under the capsule of the kidney. Although we performed an adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) loading test on bAdx mice implanted with SF-1/Ad4BP-induced steroidogenic cells, ACTH responsiveness was not observed. Implantation of steroidogenic cells derived from ADSCs into bAdx mice increased the basal plasma corticosterone level and extended the survival of bAdx mice, suggesting the capability of restoring steroidogenic cells by cell transplantation therapy for adrenal insufficiency.

    　View Summary

    Aldosterone is secreted from adrenal cortex in mammals and has an essential role for homeostasis of body fluid volume. Formation of excessive aldosterone-producing lesions such as adrenal adenomas causes primary aldosteronism in humans. This study focused on pathogenesis of primary aldosteronism and examined excessive aldosterone-producing lesions from patients by using histochemical methods and gene mutation analyses. The results suggested that an aldosterone-producing cell-cluster, which we previously discovered in normal human adrenal cortex, could develop to a transitional lesion further growing to an adenoma. Somatic mutations of a group of ion channel/pump genes were likely to play key roles for development from an aldosterone-producing cell-cluster to an adenoma through such a transitional lesion.
