Reduction in renal ACE2 expression in subtotal nephrectomy is ameliorated with ACE inhibition
August 21st, 2009Alterations within the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) are pivotal for the development of renal disease. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 is expressed in the kidney, and converts the vasoconstrictor angiotensin (Ang) II to Ang 1-7, a peptide with vasodilatory and anti-fibrotic actions. Whilst the expression of ACE2 in the diabetic kidney has been well studied, little is known about its expression in non-diabetic renal disease. We assessed ACE2 in rats with acute kidney injury induced by subtotal nephrectomy (STNx). STNx and Control rats received vehicle or ramipril (1 mg/kg/d), and measured renal ACE, ACE2 and mas receptor gene and protein expression 10 days later. STNx rats were characterised by polyuria, proteinuria, hypertension and elevated plasma ACE2 activity (all P<0.01), and plasma Ang 1-7 (P<0.05) compared to Control. There was increased cortical ACE binding and medullary mas receptor expression (P<0.05), but reduced cortical and medullary ACE2 activity in the remnant kidney (P<0.05, P<0.001) compared to Control. In STNx, ramipril reduced blood pressure (P<0.01), polyuria (P<0.05) and plasma ACE2 (P<0.01), increased plasma Ang 1-7 (P<0.001), and inhibited renal ACE (P<0.001). Ramipril increased both cortical and medullary ACE2 activity (P<0.01) but reduced medullary mas receptor expression (P<0.05). Our results show that ACE2 activity is reduced in kidney injury, and that ACE inhibition produced beneficial effects in association with increased renal ACE2 activity. As ACE2 both degrades Ang II and generates the vasodilator, Ang 1-7, a decrease in renal ACE2 activity as observed in this study has the potential to contribute to the progression of kidney disease.

Of Latches and Locks
August 19th, 2009Latches are a type of mechanical fastener which are used to join at least two objects (or surfaces) together but which will allow easy separation of the objects when required. They are not at all the same at a “locking device” which allows greater security in controlling the separation of the objects. Locks usually use a key which can be mechanical or electronic in order to separate the surfaces or objects. Hinges on the other hand are a permanent and fixed joining of two surfaces.
The latch usually employs another component which is fixed to the other object or surface and depending on the design or type of latch this other component can be known as a “keeper or “strike”.
Common latches range in complexity from the one piece flat spring of plastic or metal like those commonly used to snap shut those moulded containers for power tools and various tool boxes to the more complex multi-point cam latches which are commonly used for keeping large doors closed.
Here are just a few examples of various latch styles in use today
Slam Latch
This latch uses a spring and is activated by shutting or “slamming” the door and like all the other latch designs; its purpose is to hold the door closed. It derives this common name by its ability it withstand damage when the door or drawer is “slammed” shut and is therefore by default a rugged device ideal agricultural, construction and industrial applications.
Cam Lock
Cam locks are a style of latch which is made up of a base component and a “cam” from which the name derives. The base is the component where the key or opener is used to rotate the cam which is the actual latching device. These cams can be straight or offset which are often reversible.
Norfolk Latch
The Norfolk latch was first seen in the early 19th century and originated in Norfolk an English county. It incorporates a simple thumb actuated lever and is mostly associated with holding wooden gates and doors closed. The Norfolk latch handle is fitted to a back plate which is independent of the thumb piece.
Suffolk Latch
The Suffolk latch was first seen in the 16th century continuing through to the 19th century and as its name suggests originated in Suffolk an English county. It incorporates a simple thumb actuated lever and is mostly associated with holding wooden gates and doors closed. Their lack of a back plate made them different from the neighbouring Norfolk latch which superseded it when it came into being in the early 19th century
