NIST findings awaken age-old anesthesia question

NIST findings awaken age-old anesthesia question [ Back to EurekAlert! ] Public release date: 21-Mar-2012

Why does inhaling anesthetics cause unconsciousness? New insights into this century-and-a-half-old question may spring from research performed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).* Scientists from NIST and the National Institutes of Health have found hints that anesthesia may affect the organization of fat molecules, or lipids, in a cell's outer membranepotentially altering the ability to send signals along nerve cell membranes.

"A better fundamental understanding of inhaled anesthetics could allow us to design better ones with fewer side effects," says Hirsh Nanda, a scientist at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). "How these chemicals work in the body is a scientific mystery that stretches back to the Civil War."

At the turn of the 20th century, doctors suspected inhaled anesthetics had some effect on cell membranes, an animal cell's outer boundary. Despite considerable investigation, however, no one was able to demonstrate that anesthetics produced changes in the physical properties of membranes large enough to cause anesthesia. But eventually, understanding of membrane function grew more refined as scientists learned more about ion channels.

Ion channelslarge proteins embedded in the relatively small lipid molecules forming the membraneare responsible for conducting electrical impulses along nerve cells in the brain and throughout our body. By a few decades ago, the prevailing theory held that inhaled anesthetics directly interacted with these protein channels, affecting their behavior in some fashion. But no one could find a single type of ion channel that reacted to anesthetics in a way pivotal enough to settle the matter, and the question remained open.

"That's where we picked up the thread," says Nanda. "We had been looking at how different types of lipid molecules affect ion channels."

While a cell membrane is a highly fluid film made of many different kinds of lipid molecules, the region immediately surrounding an ion channel often consists of a single type of lipids that form a sort of "raft" that is more ordered and less fluid then the rest of the membrane. When the team heard other researchers had found that disrupting these lipid rafts could affect a channel's function, they put to work their own previous experience working with the channels.

"We decided to test whether inhaled anesthetics could have an effect on rafts in model cell membranes," Nanda says. "No one had thought to ask the question before."

Using the NCNR's neutron and X-ray diffraction devices as their microscope, the team explored how a model cell membrane responded to two chemicalsinhaled anesthetic, and another that has many of the same chemical properties as anesthetic but does not cause unconsciousness. Their finding showed a distinct difference in the way the lipid rafts responded: Exposing the membranes to an anesthetic caused the rafts to grow disorderly, freely mixing its lipids with the surrounding membrane, but the second chemical had a dramatically smaller effect.

While Nanda says the discovery does not answer the question definitively, he and his co-authors are following up with other experiments that could clarify the issue. "We feel the discovery has opened up an entirely new line of inquiry into this very old puzzle," he says.

FCC weighs Dish 4G network and 700MHz interoperability

Cell Towers
Let's temper our excitement -- the FCC is merely considering these proposals at the moment but, if either are adopted, it could permanently change the mobile broadband landscape. First up, the commission is considering reassigning the 2GHz band from MSS (Mobile Satellite Service) to AWS (Advances Wireless Service). If adopted, the new rules would clear the way for Dish to launch its LTE network and enter the 4G market. It will also irk AT&T, which has been trying to tie up the spectrum following the collapse of the T-Mobile merger, most likely because the carrier hoped to use the 2GHz band itself.

Secondly, and perhaps even more important, is a proposal that would place new interoperability rules on the 700MHz spectrum used by both Verizon and AT&T for their LTE service. Until now concerns over interference have kept most 700MHz devices from being able to hop between the different blocks of spectrum. This is a particularly big issue for small and rural carriers which own some chunks of real estate in the band, but lack the buying power to convince big OEMs to make handsets for their networks. Obviously, there's still some haranguing to do before either of these proposals become law and you can bet AT&T will do its best to derail both efforts. Still, it's a good sign to see the FCC even taking up the issues. You can watch the entire debate at the source link.

You Should Learn About Plumbing If You Own A Home

boiler service Cardiff, There are so many things to consider when it comes to doing your own boiler service Cardiff to figure out where to start. This article can show you what is needed to get the job done and how to do it properly.
Tightening a pipe too much is just as bad or even worse than not tightening it enough. You can wreck the threads or crack the pipe itself, so only tighten until water stops leaking out.
Here is a good tip for a safe, inexpensive way to keep the drain in your bathtub trouble-free. Take one cup of baking soda and pour it into the drain by boiler service Cardiff. Then do the same with a cup of vinegar. Do this procedure once a month. Cover it with a plug or rag, since a chemical reaction should happen in the pipes. After giving the mixture time to work, flush it out by running boiling water through the drain.
Doing this will clear your pipes of any soap scum or hair that has accumulated.
A tankless hot water heater may be a good investment for those who are interested in conservation. Unlike a conventional water heater, these do not store any water, and heat up the water only as it is needed. This saves money by not heating water pointlessly.
Sometimes you might find that your drainage pipe for the washing machine might overflow. Every now and then, lint and other tiny washing machine items can build within the pipe, which can cause it to back up or clog.
As you have hopefully learned boiler service Cardiff?doesn?t have to be complicated even if it can appear intimidating at times. You just need to cover all the bases. All that you need to get started is doing a little homework, putting in some effort and using your head to determine the soundest approach to the problem at hand.
