Rogers P, Matthews P, 1991, Western quality at a low price: Cleaning up in Poland?, European Management Journal, Vol: 9, Pages: 425-432, ISSN: 0263-2373

Poland's economic reform programme began on 1 January 1990 and has been radical and swift. The response from the West has been slower, but recently some major new joint ventures have been announced. Paul Rogers and Paul Matthews describe the attractive business opportunities that exist for West European companies in Poland, aided by huge markets, valuable production capacity to be acquired and a cheap, skilled workforce. But this is no place to make a fast buck; doing business is difficult when so much information and facilities are missing. Nonetheless, there are pressing reasons for acting now and getting a head start on the competition. © 1991.

Recent developments in MR spectroscopy make it possible to create metabolic maps of the brain showing the regional distribution of metabolites. The data are displayed as MR spectroscopic images (MRSI), which are analogous to conventional MR images (MRI), except that the intensity of each voxel is based on the signal from a particular metabolite in the MR spectrum, rather than the intensity of the signal from water. The chemical data obtained can discriminate active demyelination from chronic gliosis, and determine the degree of irreversible injury to neurons and their processes, thus providing information not available from conventional MRI.

We have investigated the sensitivity and specificity of a rapid phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) protocol for detecting metabolic abnormalities in vivo in skeletal muscle of patients with mitochondrial disease. We examined 17 patients with mitochondrial myopathies. Sixteen had only mild or minimal myopathic signs and symptoms. Phosphorus magnetic resonance spectra from the resting gastrocnemius muscles showed an abnormal intracellular energy state (marked by an increased intracellular inorganic phosphate concentration) in 14/17. In 3/17, this was associated with a decreased phosphocreatine concentration. We also studied 20 patients with other diseases of muscle (inflammatory myopathies, metabolic myopathies, muscular dystrophies, and myasthenia gravis) that can present with similar clinical features. Spectra showed increased intracellular inorganic phosphate concentrations in 6/20. All of these muscle diseases were associated with evidence of muscle fiber necrosis. Abnormalities in the muscle energy state in these cases may be due to secondary mitochondrial dysfunction. Except for cases of polymyositis and dermatomyositis, these 6 other myopathies could be readily distinguished from the mitochondrial myopathies on the basis of the clinical examination and blood tests. We conclude that phosphorus MRS of resting muscle is practical in a clinical setting and has a useful sensitivity and specificity for mitochondrial myopathies when used in conjunction with standard noninvasive tests.

We applied 31P nuclear magnetic resonance to the study of acute ischemia in vivo. In open-chest rabbits, the left anterior descending coronary artery was occluded after control spectra were obtained. Phosphocreatine concentration decreased in the first minute and ATP concentration declined subsequently, and pH decreased to 5.8 within 20 min. Intracellular acidosis was greater than that previously reported for the isolated perfused rabbit heart.

We have used 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to characterize bioenergetic changes in the Langendorff-perfused rat heart accompanying alterations in thyroid state. Cytosolic phosphocreatine and inorganic phosphate concentrations changed significantly in both the hypo- and hyperthyroid groups compared to controls; the calculated phosphorylation potential [( ATP]/[ADP][Pi]) increased by 60% in hypothyroidism and decreased by 60% in hyperthyroidism relative to the euthyroid value of 47 X 10(3) M-1. Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and mitochondrial ATP synthase rates were measured in the intact tissue using a saturation-transfer NMR method. There were no significant differences in the measured fluxes through the CPK reaction among the three groups (4.24 +/- 1.00 mM X sec-1 for the euthyroid group). Although O2 consumption increased by 46% in hearts from hyperthyroid animals, no change in the measured mitochondrial ATP synthase flux was observed compared to the euthyroid flux of 1.05 +/- 0.11 mM X sec-1. These results suggest that the apparent in situ P/O ratio of mitochondria in hearts from hyperthyroid animals is reduced relative to that in euthyroid controls.
