OBJECTIVE
To study the in vitro effects of the phosphodiesterase-III inhibitor enoximone on skeletal muscle specimens from malignant hyperthermia susceptible (MHS) and normal (MHN) patients.
METHODS
Prospective study.
METHODS
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) laboratory at a university
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effect of Guizhi Decoction (GZD) on adenyl cyclase (AC) and phosphodiesterase (PDE) activities in hypothalamus of rat models of fever and hypothermia.
METHODS
The AC and PDE activities in hypothalamus were determined using radio-isotope method.
RESULTS
GZD could lower the AC
BACKGROUND
In human skeletal muscles, the phosphodiesterase-III inhibitor enoximone induces in vitro contracture development, and it has been suggested that enoximone could trigger malignant hyperthermia (MH). In this study, the in vitro and in vivo effects of enoximone in MH-normal (MHN) and
OBJECTIVE
Inhibition of phosphodiesterase III (PDE-III) by enoximone elevates cyclic AMP (cAMP) content and intracellular calcium in human cardiac muscle. An involvement of cAMP in the pathogenesis of malignant hyperthermia (MH) has been suggested, because a higher basal content of cAMP was found in
OBJECTIVE
The phosphodiesterase-III (PDE-III) inhibitor enoximone-induced marked contractures in skeletal muscle specimens of malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptible (MHS) human beings and swine. Whether this is a substance specific effect of enoximone or caused by inhibition of PDE-III remained
Relapsing fever caused by Borrelia persica is an acute tick-borne disease infecting people in the Middle East. A PCR test targeting the glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase (GlpQ) gene was used to detect infection in the blood of suspected relapsing fever patients. The assay detected infection in
Human louse-borne relapsing fever occurs in sporadic outbreaks in central and eastern Africa that are characterized by significant morbidity and mortality. Isolates of the causative agent, Borrelia recurrentis, were obtained from the blood of four patients during a recent epidemic of the disease in
Background: This study aimed to develop a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the rapid detection of tick-borne relapsing fever in resource-limited areas.
Methods:
Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever (TBRF) is caused by spirochetes in the genus Borrelia. Very limited information exists on the incidence of this disease in humans and domestic dogs in the United States. The main objective of this study is to evaluate exposure of dogs to Borrelia turicatae, a causative
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent attacks of fever, synovitis, peritonitis, or pleurisy. Some patients eventually develop systemic amyloidosis. The biochemical cause of the disease is unknown. We have conducted a genome-wide search for
We investigated the role of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in fever and the acute phase reaction using a specific type-IV phosphodiesterase inhibitor, rolipram, that inhibits the production of TNF-alpha. The body temperatures and serum iron concentrations of rabbits were measured following
The effect of heat in combination with DL-alpha-tocopheryl (vitamin E) succinate and adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) stimulating agents on mouse neuroblastoma cells ( NBP2 ) in culture on the criterion of growth inhibition (due to cell death and inhibition of cell division) was studied.
Relapsing-fever spirochetes achieve high cell densities (>10(8)/ml) in their host's blood, while Lyme disease spirochetes do not (<10(5)/ml). This striking contrast in pathogenicity of these two groups of bacteria suggests a fundamental difference in their ability to either exploit or survive in
Intracerebroventricular administration of all three prototype non-peptide opioid receptor (mu, kappa and sigma) agonists, morphine, ketocyclazocine and N-allyl-normetazocine (SKF 10,047) induced hyperthermia in rabbits. Similar administration of peptide opioids like beta-endorphin (BE),
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (UC) are common, chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) characterized by episodes of life-altering symptoms such as diarrhea, bleeding, fecal urgency and incontinence, abdominal pain and cramps, and fever lasting weeks to months at a time. Existing
