METHODS： Smooth muscle cells were freshly isolated by collagenase digest and mechanical trituration with polished pipettes. Patch clamp technique in whole-cell mode was employed to record calcium and potassium currents. RESULTS： The procedure dissociated smooth muscle cells without impairing the electrophysiological characteristics of the cells. The voltage-gated Ca^2＋ and potassium currents were successfully recorded using whole-cell patch clamp configuration. CONCLUSION： The method dissociates smooth muscle cells from rat mesenteric arterial branches. Voltage-gated channel currents can be recorded in this preparation.展开更多

Methods: The membrane proteins extracted from the human sperm were reassembled intoliposome bilayer, and the liposomes were fused into giant liposomes with a diameter more than 10μm by dehydration-rehydration procedure. The giant liposomes were used to study the Cl^- channel activities by patch-clamp technique.Results: By patch clamping the giant liposome in an asymmetric NMDG (N-methyl-D-glucamine)-Cl (bath 100//pipette 200 mmol/L) solution system, three kinds of single-channel events with unit conductances of (74.1 ± 8.3) pS,(117.0±5.7) pS and (144.7±4.5) pS, respectively, were detected. Their activities were voltage-dependent and allwere blocked by SITS (4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanato-stilbene-2', 2'-disulfonic acid) in a concentration-dependentmanner. By constructing the open and close dwell time distribution histograms and then fitting them with exponentialfunction, two time constants were obtained in both the open and the close states. The burst activity and conductancesubstate of the channels were observed. Conclusion; There exist three kinds of Cl^- channels with different conduc-tance in human sperm membrane at least.

METHODS： The pancreatic duct cells of neonatal rats were isolated, cultured and induced into endocrine ceils with 15% fetal bovine serum for a period of 20 d. During this period, insulin secretion, MTT value, and morphological change of neonatal and adult pancreatic islet cells were comparatively investigated. Pancreatic β-cells were identified by morphological and electrophysiological characteristics, while ATP sensitive potassium channels （KATP）, voltage-dependent potassium channels （Kv）, and voltage-dependent calcium channels （KcA） in β-cells were identified by patch clamp technique. RESULTS： After incubation with fetal bovine serum, the neonatal duct cells budded out, changed from duct-like cells into islet clusters. In the first 4 d, MTT value and insulin secretion increased slowly （MTT value from 0.024 ±0.003 to 3.028±0.003, insulin secretion from 2.6±0.6 to 3.1±0.8 mIU/L）. Then MTT value and insulin secretion increased quickly from d 5 to d 10 （MTT value from 0.028 ±0.003 to 0.052±0.008, insulin secretion from 3.1±0.8 to 18.3±2.6 mIU/L）, then reached high plateau （MTT value 〉0.052±0.008, insulin secretion 〉18.3±2.6 mIU/L）. In contrast, for the isolated adult pancreatic islet cells, both insulin release and MTT value were stable in the first 4 d （MTT value from 0.029±0.01 to 0.031±0.011, insulin secretion from 13.9±3.1 to 14.3±3.3 mIU/L）, but afterwards they reduced gradually （MTT value 〈0.031 ±0.011, insulin secretion 〈8.2±1.5 mIU/L）, and the pancreatic islet cells became dispersed, broken or atrophied correspondingly. The differentiated neonatal cells were identified as pancreatic islet cells by dithizone staining method, and pancreatic β-cells were further identified by both morphological features and electrophysiological characteristics, i.e. the existence of recording currents from KATP, Kv, and KCA. CONCLUSION： Islet cells differentiated from neonatal pancreatic duct cells with the new natural protocol are more advantageous in performing patch clamp study over the isolated adult pancreatic islet cells.展开更多

We recorded SV channel currents of Xinlimei (Raphanus satirus L.) vacuolars. The minimum activation potentials of voltage-dependent SV channels tied in 25+/-5 mV. The increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+ led to enhancement of SV-type currents. It was found that the threshold potential of activation shifted towards more depolarized values whenever cytoplasmic Ca2+ was increased. When 10(-10) mol/L free La3+ was added to the bath, SV-type current was suppressed by 60 similar to 75%. These data showed La3+ reduced ion permeabilities of Xinlimei root vacuolar membrane.展开更多

Methods：Hippocampal CA3 neurons were freshly isolated by 1 mg protease/3 ml SES and mechanical trituration with polished pipettes of progressively smaller tip diameters. Patch clamp technique in whole-cell mode was employed to record voltage-gated channel currents. Results：The procedure dissociated hippocampal neurons, preserving apical dendrites and several basal dendrites, without impairing the electrical characteristics of the neurons. Whole-cell patch clamp configuration was successfully used to record voltage-gated Ca^2＋ currents, delayed rectifier K^＋ current and voltage-gated Na^＋ currents. Conclusion：Protease combined with mechanical trituration may be used for the dissociation of neurons from rat hippocampus. Voltage-gated channels currents could be recorded using a patch clamp technique.展开更多

High resistance seals (】1 GΩ) could be obtained in the cardiac ventricle tissue on this preparation without enzymatic treatment. Then, the cell-attached and whole-cell patch-clamp techniques can be achieved in the thin (200μm) cardiac slices. Averaged sodium current (n=ll cells) was recorded in cell-attached mode, displayed similar features to that previously reported from isolated rat ventricular myocytes. The outward potassium current, Hyperpolarization-activated cation channel or If channel (HCN channel) and action potential (AP) were recorded in whole-cell configuration (n=2 cells) and the similar properties can be seen from the cardiac slices. Cell-attached mode is a stable and reliable mode to record the ion treatment. Resting potential for cardiac slice, measured from Current-clamp recording in whole-cell mode, is about -50 - - 70 mV. The resting potential value from the cardiac slice has similar property except that it is positive to the isolated cardiomyocytes by enzymes. Application of patch-clamp techniques to cardiac slices allows single channel recordings without complicated procedures of cell isolation. Moreover, possible alteration of channel properties caused by proteolytic enzymes can be avoided. In this paper, whole-cell patch-clamp recordings could be achieved on the cardiac slice and we affirmed the feasibility and values of the both recording modes on it. At the same time, there is difficulty and limitation of the application of whole-cell patch-clamp on the cardiac slice for the existence of large mount of connective tissue even in the newborn rats.展开更多

Hidden Markov model (HMM) algorithm has been used to convert the low signal noise ratio (SNR) noisy recording into an idealized quantal one in the case of white background noise. The traditional HMM algorithm is extended and adapted to the colored background noise. A new algorithm called EHMM (Extended HMM) algorithm is proposed, and mainly validated by simulation. Results show that it’s effective.展开更多
