Proinflammatory (TNF-alpha , IL-1beta, and NO) and antiinflammatory (IL-10, CO) levels were assayed in serum, liver, and small bowel in order to verify a hypothetic inflammatory etiopathogeny of portal hypertension that could be the cause of its evolutive heterogeneity. Male Wistar rats were divided into one control group (n=11) and one group with a triple stenosing ligation of the portal vein ...

The effects on haemodynamics and infarct size (measured by total creatine kinase release) of intravenous infusions of normal saline, glucose, or glucose-insulin-potassium were studied in 36 patients with transmural acute myocardial infarction qf less than 12 hours' duration. In 12 patients, 2 ml/kg 50 per cent glucose (5.55 mmol/kg) was given over 10 minutes with 0 4 unit/kg soluble insulin 5 m...
