Pharmacologic modulation of motility.
Etiologically, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can be regarded as motility disorder: Although blocking acid is effective in the treatment of GERD, it does not overcome the underlying pathologic factors that allow acid, pepsin, and bile to reflux into the esophagus. Prokinetic agents address the upper gastrointestinal motility disturbances contributing to GERD and, thus, have an important...
متن کاملPharmacologic modulation of experimental postischemic hepatic function.
The present study evaluated and compared the effects of SRI 63-441, a potent platelet activating factor antagonist, superoxide dismutase (SOD), an oxygen free radical scavenger, and ibuprofen, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor on hepatic function after 90 minutes of warm ischemia. After warm ischemia, livers were harvested and underwent 90 minutes of warm, oxygenated, sanguinous perfusion on an isolat...
متن کاملPharmacologic modulation of experimentally induced allergic asthma
Allergic asthma is the most frequent disease of the respiratory tract. The aim of the current experimental and clinical studies was to find new sources of drugs able to control asthmatic inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. Our experimental studies were focused on efficiency evaluation of substances able to influence activities of ion channels, phosphodiesterase (PDE) isoforms, substanc...
متن کاملPharmacologic modulation of interleukin-1 expression by amphotericin B-stimulated human mononuclear cells.
Fever and chills occur frequently with amphotericin B (AB) administration, but the mechanism that causes these reactions has not been definitively established. A variety of proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor, have been shown to be important mediators of fever. In order to clarify the cellular and biochemical responses associated with AB-induced f...
متن کاملExpression of ACE and ACE2 in patients with hypertensive nephrosclerosis.
BACKGROUND The interplay between intrarenal angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and type 2 ACE (ACE2) might play important roles in the pathogenesis of hypertensive nephrosclerosis (HTN), but human data are limited. METHODS Renal biopsy specimens of 41 patients with HTN and 10 transplant donors as controls (CTL) were studied. The glomerular and tubulointerstitial mRNA expression of ACE and AC...
