Experiments on rats with brain edema under water intoxication were made to examine the effect of the benzodiazepine tranquilizers diazepam and phenazepam on the time course of the recovery of brain electrical activity after passing the spreading Leao's depression wave. It was found that the drugs
Benzodiazepine (BDZ) receptor sites play a relevant role in immune/inflammatory reactions. Acute BDZ treatments were shown not only to suppress cell proliferation in rat thymus but also to decrease TNF-alpha, IL-1 and IL-6 release from adult mouse macrophages. In the present investigation the
An 8-year-old mixed-breed dog was anesthetized for colonoscopy. Moderate sedation was produced by premedication with glycopyrrolate, acepromazine, and hydromorphone, and anesthesia was induced by IV injection of diazepam and ketamine. Frothy, reddish-colored fluid flowed from the endotracheal tube
The anti-inflammatory activity of amitriptyline, diazepam and a new, Russian tranquilizer mebicar was studied in a wide range of therapeutic doses on carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. Mebicar at low doses showed greater and longer (up to 24 h) lasting anti-inflammatory activity as compared to
High doses of diazepam (10.0-20.0 mg/kg) were shown to reduce the volume of acute inflammatory paw edema in rats as a response to carrageenan administration. This effect was attributed to an action of diazepam on the peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) present in the adrenal and/or
High doses of diazepam (10-20 mg/kg) were shown to reduce the volume of acute carrageenan-induced inflammatory paw edema in rats. This effect was not observed after adrenalectomy or long-term use of similar doses of diazepam. The present experiment was undertaken to analyze the effects of long-term
In experiments on rats the influence of diazepam, cinazepam, and phenazepam (0.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) on the development of brain edema in the dynamics of acute craniocerebral injury was studied. The diazepam and phenazepam prevented the development of brain edema in the post-traumatic period.
The development of toxic and traumatic brain edema in rats is accompanied by a decrease in the ATP level, in the total amount of adenyl nucleotides, the magnitude of the energy charge in the ATP-ADP-AMP system, and by an elevation in the content of AMP. Diazepam (0.5 mg/kg) and phenibut (50 mg/kg)
Acute pancreatitis is a lethal inflammatory condition of pancreas with high mortality rate. There is a pressing need for research to explore active agents and novel mechanisms involving in the treatment of pancreatitis. Clinical studies have shown after the initial acinar cell injury plasma levels
The possibility that nitric oxide is somehow involved in the early bioelectrical disturbances following spinal cord injury in relation to the later pathophysiology of the spinal cord was examined in a rat model of spinal cord trauma. A focal trauma to the rat spinal cord was produced by an incision
The influence of stress and diazepam treatment on airway inflammation was investigated in ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized rats. Animals were injected with OVA plus aluminum hydroxide intraperitoneally (day 0) and boosted with OVA subcutaneously (day 7). From the first to 13th day after sensitization,
The possibility that diazepam will influence spinal cord evoked potentials (SCEP), edema formation and cell changes following spinal cord injury (SCI) was examined in a rat model. The SCI was produced in equithesin anaesthetised animals by making a longitudinal incision (about 2 mm deep and 5 mm
It has been shown in rats with experimental toxic and traumatic edemas that picrotoxin (1 mg/kg) removes the antiedematous action of diazepam, phenazepam, phenibut and amizyl and reduces the action of phentolamine. When the dose of picrotoxin is minimized to 0.5 mg/kg such an effect is not observed.
Experiments on rats were made to study the action of the derivatives of benzodiazepine (diazepam, 0.5 mg/kg and phenazepam, 0.1 mg/kg), and GABA (phenibut, 50 mg/kg, pantogam, 160 mg/kg, nicotinoyl-GABA, 500 mg/kg, piracetam, 1000 mg/kg) on the development of a traumatic brain edema. Diazepam,
BACKGROUND
High concentrations of quinine, the drug of choice for severe malaria, are toxic to the cardiovascular system, producing hypotension and abnormal myocardial conduction.
METHODS
An 8 year-old girl was admitted for fever, headache and arthralgias. Examination of a thick film of blood showed
