Abstract:
The effects of therapeutic or preventive-therapeutic administration of water-soluble echinochrome analog U-441 on arrhythmia severity assessed by a set of myocardial spatio-temporal depolarization and repolarization parameters were examined on the model of acute myocardial ischemia in cats. Coronary occlusion increased activation time and decreased repolarization time in the ischemic zone; in addition, it increased both global and borderline (local) dispersions of repolarization. The linear regression model showed that only activation time values measured at the initial state and at termination of occlusion were associated with total arrhythmia score during ischemia (regression coefficient β=0.338, 95%CI=0.074-0.602, p=0.015 and β=0.720, 95%CI=0.323-1.117, p=0.001, respectively). The study revealed no association between administration of echinochrome analog U-441 and arrhythmia severity.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
