Determination of the intrinsic redox potentials of FeS centers of respiratory complex I from experimental titration curves.

ABSTRACT: Recently, Euro et al. [Biochem. 47, 3185 (2008) ] have reported titration data for seven of nine FeS redox centers of complex I from Escherichiacoli. There is a significant uncertainty in the assignment of the titration data. Four of the titration curves were assigned to N1a, N1b, N6b, and N2 centers; one curve either to N3 or N7; one more either to N4 or N5; and the last one denoted Nx could not be assigned at all. In addition, the assignment of the titration data to the N6b/N6a pair is also uncertain. In this paper, using our calculated interaction energies [Couch et al. BBA 1787, 1266 (2009)], we perform statistical analysis of these data, considering a variety of possible assignments, find the best fit, and determine the intrinsic redox potentials of the centers. The intrinsic potentials could be determined with an uncertainty of less than +/-10 mV at a 95% confidence level for best fit assignments. We also find that the best agreement between theoretical and experimental titration curves is obtained with the N6b-N2 interaction equal to 71+/-14 or 96+/-26 mV depending on the N6b/N6a titration data assignment, which is stronger than was expected and may indicate a close distance of the N2 center to the membrane surface.

Project description:ImportanceUnderstanding the learning curve of a new complex surgical technique helps to reduce potential patient harm. Current series on the learning curve of minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) are mostly small, single-center series, thus providing limited data.ObjectiveTo evaluate the length of pooled learning curves of MIDP in experienced centers.Design, setting, and participantsThis international, multicenter, retrospective cohort study included MIDP procedures performed from January 1, 2006, through June 30, 2019, in 26 European centers from 8 countries that each performed more than 15 distal pancreatectomies annually, with an overall experience exceeding 50 MIDP procedures. Consecutive patients who underwent elective laparoscopic or robotic distal pancreatectomy for all indications were included. Data were analyzed between September 1, 2021, and May 1, 2022.ExposuresThe learning curve for MIDP was estimated by pooling data from all centers.Main outcomes and measuresThe learning curve was assessed for the primary textbook outcome (TBO), which is a composite measure that reflects optimal outcome, and for surgical mastery. Generalized additive models and a 2-piece linear model with a break point were used to estimate the learning curve length of MIDP. Case mix-expected probabilities were plotted and compared with observed outcomes to assess the association of changing case mix with outcomes. The learning curve also was assessed for the secondary outcomes of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, conversion to open rate, and postoperative pancreatic fistula grade B/C.ResultsFrom a total of 2610 MIDP procedures, the learning curve analysis was conducted on 2041 procedures (mean [SD] patient age, 58 [15.3] years; among 2040 with reported sex, 1249 were female [61.2%] and 791 male [38.8%]). The 2-piece model showed an increase and eventually a break point for TBO at 85 procedures (95% CI, 13-157 procedures), with a plateau TBO rate at 70%. The learning-associated loss of TBO rate was estimated at 3.3%. For conversion, a break point was estimated at 40 procedures (95% CI, 11-68 procedures); for operation time, at 56 procedures (95% CI, 35-77 procedures); and for intraoperative blood loss, at 71 procedures (95% CI, 28-114 procedures). For postoperative pancreatic fistula, no break point could be estimated.Conclusion and relevanceIn experienced international centers, the learning curve length of MIDP for TBO was considerable with 85 procedures. These findings suggest that although learning curves for conversion, operation time, and intraoperative blood loss are completed earlier, extensive experience may be needed to master the learning curve of MIDP.
