1 Mechanical-Energetic Coupling Mayo Clinic One of the World s Largest Medical Centers Gary C. Sieck, Ph.D. Department of Physiology & Biomedical Engineering Mayo Clinic College of Medicine Physiology & BME Founded by Dr. William Worrall Mayo and his sons William J. Mayo and Charles H. Mayo. Today Number of staff physicians & scientists --- ~3, Number of employees --- ~6, Number of Clinic patients --- ~65, Number of hospital admissions --- ~135, Total revenue $9.2 billion Total research funding $55 million ($325 million extramural funding) Evolution of Academic Medical Centers Balance Between Discovery (Basic) Science and Translational/Clinical Research Implicit in the process of natural selection is that inefficient mechanisms will be either improved or discarded. Symmorphosis Hypothesis - In evolution, no structure is formed or maintained unless it satisfies functional demands (Weibel & Taylor, 1981). Biological systems adhere to an economy of design that can be applied to other complex systems. Discovery Science Translational/Clinical Research For academic medical centers, the capacities for basic science discovery, translational research and clinical practice should be matched. Physiology & Biomedical Engineering 1

2 Bedside to Bench Back to Bedside Approach Asthma: Airways Hyperresponsiveness and Remodeling Identify clinical problems Apply research to clinical problems Conduct targeted research Asthma affects 17 million people in the USA (~8% of the population). Characterized by airway smooth muscle hyperresponsiveness and remodeling - triggered by inflammation and mediated by inflammatory cytokines. Dynamic Properties of the Airway Excitation-Contraction Coupling Airway smooth muscle contractile proteins are highly adaptive to intrinsic and extrinsic stresses and are embedded within a malleable cytoskeletal structure that is tethered to the extracellular matrix. The endoplasmic (sarcoplasmic) reticulum (ER/SR) and mitochondria are also highly dynamic motile structures within the cell.
