acetic acid/infarction

Bifemelane hydrochloride (BH) is widely employed in Japan in the treatment of cerebral infarction patients with depressive symptoms and its antidepressant action is considered to be caused by the normalizing effects of neurotransmitters. The relationship between the normalizing effects of

We reported previously that Stachybotrys microspora triprenyl phenol-7 (SMTP-7) showed potential thrombolytic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects that account for its excellent pharmacological activity such as having a wider therapeutic time window than tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)

The diagnostic value of gadolinium-DTPA (diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid) enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in patients treated by thrombolysis for acute myocardial infarction was assessed in 27 consecutive patients who had a first acute myocardial infarction (14 anterior, 13 inferior) and

The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic effects of muskone, a traditional preparation containing slender Dutchmanspipe root (MCS) used to treat angina pectoris and related conditions, muskone containing inula root (MCI) in place of MCS, and muskone (M) without either slender

We report a patient with pseudo gray platelet syndrome. He was admitted to our hospital because of acute myocardial infarction. He had platelets that were stained poorly and appeared gray and agranular under a light microscope. This appearance is a characteristic feature of gray platelet syndrome.

The effects of IRFI-048 (2,3-dihydro-5-methoxy-4,6,7-trimethyl-2-benzofuranyl acetic acid), a selective analogue of Vitamin E, on myocardial tissue injury were examined in anaesthetized rats subjected to 60-min occlusion of the left coronary artery followed by 60-min reperfusion. Infarct size

Aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) is a key enzyme of alcohol metabolism, catalyzing the conversion of aldehyde to acetic acid. The G-to-A polymorphism in exon 12 of the ALDH2 gene, which causes Glu-to-Lys substitution at codon 504, has been shown to be an independent risk factor for acute myocardial

OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that contrast-enhanced and dobutamine tagged magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could investigate microvascular integrity and contractile reserve of reperfused myocardial infarction (MI) in one examination. BACKGROUND In reperfused MI, microvascular integrity and contractile

Dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT), tryptophan (TRP), 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA), and GABA were assayed spectrofluorometrically in various regions of 16 human post-mortem brains with acute and old cerebral infarction. In both recent and older strokes a total depletion of DA and 5-HT in the

The syntheses of new 2-aryl-2-imidazolinyl-acetic acids and esters are reported together with pharmacological results concerning structure-activity relationship. In contrast to the already known but inactive N(1)-alkylated derivatives of 2-arylamino-2-imidazolines the new compounds with an aryl

The aim of the present study was to establish a novel embolic model of cerebral infarction and to evaluate the effect of Stachybotrys microspora triprenyl phenol-7 (SMTP-7), a novel fungal triprenyl phenol metabolite. Thrombotic occlusion was induced by transfer of acetic acid-induced embolus into

Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) has a short therapeutic time window for administration (3 h) and carries a risk of promoting intracerebral hemorrhage. The aim of the present study was to investigate a therapeutic time window and frequency of hemorrhagic region by treatment with Stachybotrys

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of single high-dose percutaneous acetic acid injection (PAI) for treatment of small (<3-cm-diameter) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Eighteen patients with HCC (22 nodules; diameter range, 1.5-3.0 cm) underwent single PAI. With ultrasonographic

The neuroprotective effect of YM872 ([2.3-dioxo-7-(1H-imidazol-1-yl) 6-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-quinoxalinyl]acetic acid monohydrate), a novel alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA) receptor antagonist with improved water solubility, was examined in a rat focal cerebral
