El extracto acuoso de Viscum album induce la expresi贸n de las sintasas de 贸xido n铆trico inducible y endotelial en coraz贸n aislado y perfundido de cobayo: Evidencia del mecanismo de vasodilataci贸n coronaria
Se evalu贸 farmacol贸gicamente el efecto de un extracto acuoso de Viscum album en el modelo de coraz贸n aislado y perfundido seg煤n Langendorff en corazones de cobayo macho normotensos, registr谩ndose la resistencia vascular coronaria, la presi贸n intraventricular izquierda, la liberaci贸n de 贸xido n铆trico en el l铆quido de perfusi贸n, la producci贸n de guanos铆n monofosfato c铆clico en tejido ventricular y la expresi贸n de las sintasas de 贸xido n铆trico inducible y endotelial por Western Blot, en ausencia y presencia de bloqueantes e inhibidores tales como cloruro de gadolinio 6 碌M, Nw-nitro-L-arginina metil 茅ster 100 碌M y 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3 a]quinoxalina-1-ona 10 碌M. Se observ贸 que el extracto acuoso de V. album induce un descenso significativo en la resistencia vascular coronaria, la cual cursa con incrementos sustanciales en la producci贸n de 贸xido n铆trico y guanos铆n monofosfato c铆clico. El an谩lisis de la expresi贸n de las sintasas de 贸xido n铆trico indic贸 que el extracto induce significativamente la expresi贸n de ambas isoformas en coraz贸n de cobayo. Tales efectos fueron inhibidos en presencia de los bloqueantes e inhibidores respectivos. As铆, la vasodilataci贸n de este extracto est谩 mediada por la v铆a 贸xido n铆trico/guanilato ciclasa soluble. Adicionalmente, el extracto ejerce un efecto inotr贸pico positivo mediado por tiramina por un mecanismo de estimulaci贸n β1-adren茅rgica
Antiarrhythmic and cardioprotective effects of remifentanil in anesthetized dogs
Objective: To study the antiarrhythmic effect of remifentanil in experimental arrhythmias in dogs. Methods: We used dogs weighing 12 kg-18 kg anesthetized with 30 mg/kg sodium pen-tobarbital given intravenously. Ventricular arrhythmia, ventricular fibrillation and death were induced with digoxin (9 ug/kg/min). In another model, two types of arrhythmia were induced in the right atrium, one of them with aconitine crystals placed on the right atrium and the other was induced in the basement of the right atrium by electrical stimulation. The potential antiarrhythmic action of remifentanil was investigated in ventricular and atrial arrhythmias by the administration of an intravenous bolus after toxic signs were evident. Thus, two arrhythmias with different mechanisms were generated. Leads DM, unipolar left intraventricular and right atrial leads, and left ventricular pressure were used to record control tracings and tracings in presence of remifentanil, during ventricular arrhythmia. Results: Remifentanil abolished toxic effects of digoxin, it eliminated the A-V dissociation and ventricular extrasystoles, reverting to sinus rhythm in each case. Remifentanil extended the time to reach lethal doses from 63.25 卤 11.3 to 100 卤 11.8 min. These effects were blocked by naloxone (0.01 ug/kg) applied before remifentanil. In the two arrhythmias model, remifentanil suppressed both, ectopic focus and atrial flutter. Conclusions: Remifentanil elicits antiarrhythmic and cardioprotective effects in experimental ventricular arrhythmias induced by digoxin and in a model of two atrial arrhythmias induced by aconitine and by electrical stimulation
