The modifying effects of topical application of a catechol antioxidant protocatechuic acid (PA) on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammatory responses in mouse skin were investigated. Treatment with a high dose (20,000 nmol) of PA, based on time of application, modifies
Two children, ages 9 and 2 1/2 years, with clinical diagnoses of laryngotracheitis (croup) and epiglottis, respectively, developed florid pulmonary edema without evidence of cardiac enlargement. Both children responded to vigorous therapy, which included endotracheal intubation, mechanical
A case of missile emboli to a major intracranial vessel resulting in fulminant pulmonary edema is reported. A discussion of the etiology of neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is presented. The cause is thought to be a marked increase in pulmonary artery pressure, due to a massive catechol release in
Histogenesis and mechanisms of catechol-induced rat glandular stomach carcinogenesis were investigated in male F344 rats. Groups of 5 or 6 rats were treated with dietary catechol at doses of 1, 0.5, 0.1, and 0.01% for 12 hr or for 1, 2, 3, or 7 days or at a dose of 0.8% for 1, 2, 4, 12, and 24 wk;
Mycotoxins that commonly contaminate staple food grains pose a health hazard to animals and humans. Fumonisin B1 (FB1), a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium verticillioides, causes equine leukoencephalomalacia and porcine pulmonary edema and has been implicated in the etiology of esophageal cancer (EC)
In a 63-year-old woman with longstanding type I diabetes mellitus, CAD and chronic heart failure, a subacute myocardial infarction developed, together with decompensation of cardiac function and diabetes and concurrent pneumonia. Acute heart failure with acute renal failure on top of diabetic
This article summarizes briefly some factors responsible for edema in chronic congestive heart failure. It is now generally thought that so-called 'backward failure' is a manifestation of diastolic dysfunction, while systolic 'pump failure' is a disease that depends on two key factors: an inadequate
The antiinflammatory activities of 30 flavonoids isolated from several plants of the Compositae family were investigated using carrageenan-induced mouse paw edema and cotton pellet-induced rat granuloma. Compounds were administered with a unique dose of 75 mg/kg i.p. in the acute test with
Recently, we reported that 4-catechol-substituted cis-(+/-)-4a,5,6,7,8,8a-hexa- and cis-(+/-)-4a,5,8,8a-tetrahydro-2H-phthalazin-1-ones show potent inhibition of phosphodiesterase (PDE4) activity, while the corresponding trans racemic mixtures exhibit only weak to moderate activity. To determine the
The paper analyses the published data about association of polymorphic gene markers of different bioactive agents (interleukins, angiotensin convertase, catechol-O-methyltransferase, dopamine receptors etc.) with traumatic brain injury. Analysis of the entire pool of data concerning clinical and
Pheochromocytoma is complicated with catecholamine cardiomyopathy, and preoperative care becomes considerably more difficult We report anesthetic management for an 48-year-old man brought to our hospital by ambulance and immediately hospitalized due to pheochromocytoma crisis complicated with
Entacapone and tolcapone, novel catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT) inhibitors, have been developed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease in combination with levodopa. Three fatal cases of drug-induced hepatitis, one with hepatic necrosis and mitochondrial changes have been reported in clinical
BACKGROUND
Stress was described by Cushing and Selye as an adaptation to a foreign stressor by the anterior pituitary increasing ACTH, which stimulates the release of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid hormones. The question is raised whether stress can induce additional steroidal hormone cascade
A new class of tricyclic arylacetic acids was synthesized and evaluated as antiinflammatory/analgesic agents as well as inhibitors of prostaglandin synthetase. 11H-Dibenzo[b,e][1,4]dioxepin-2-, -3, -7, and -8-acetic and alpha-methylacetic acids and their derivatives were prepared by cyclization of
Heterogeneous expression of neurotransmitter deficits results from onset and progression of Parkinson's disease. Intervals, characterized by reappearance of motor and associated certain nonmotor symptoms, determine the end of good tolerability and efficacy of oral levodopa therapy. These "OFF"
