We studied the effects of a non-narcotic, centrally acting antitussive, fominoben (PB89), on hypoxia in sixty patients suffering from chronic obstructive lung diseases (COLD), utilizing a double-blind method and using the antitussive dextromethorphan as a reference drug. By the oral administration
1. The effects of the non-opioid antitussives caramiphen and carbetapentane and of the anticonvulsants 5,5-diphenylhydantoin and MK 801 were tested towards hypoxia-induced electrical changes in rat hippocampal slices. 2. The incidence of appearance of hypoxia-induced epileptiform bursting was
We investigated the effects of the antitussive dextromethorphan (DM; 100 microM) on the extracellular DC potential, extracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]o) and on stimulus-evoked field potential (FP) responses in rat neocortical slices during hypoxia. DM significantly reduced the amplitude of
Overexpression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a common feature in solid malignancies related to oxygen deficiency. Since increased HIF-1 expression correlates with advanced disease stage, increased angiogenesis and poor prognosis, HIF-1 and its signaling pathway have become targets for
The purpose of this study was to determine whether dextromethorphan, an opioid class antitussive, prevents hypoxia-induced loss of nerve function in an in vitro hippocampal slice preparation. The evoked population spike (PS) was recorded from CA1 pyramidal cells of guinea pig-derived hippocampal
The protective effect of the anticonvulsant MK-801 and the antitussive dextromethorphan, which are both N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists, and kynurenic acid, a broad-spectrum excitotoxin antagonist, was tested in cultured rat retinal cells in an hypoxic environment. The protective effect of
We have previously shown that the exercise performance of patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be increased with the administration of oral morphine (0.8 mg.kg-1). The purpose of this study was to determine whether the administration of dextromethorphan (DXT), an
A young Golden Retriever dog developed severe respiratory distress following an initial clinical diagnosis of infectious tracheobronchitis. Severe expiratory flow limitation, associated with exertional respiratory distress and hypoxemia was present. Thoracic images obtained with conventional
Recent clinical studies have emphasized the up-regulation (sensitization) of cough in pathological conditions of the airways. However there are also many situations where voluntary and reflex cough can be down-regulated. These include: (1) chemical stimulation of breathing by hypercapnia or hypoxia
A 63-year-old woman had complained of a persistent dry cough. Comparison of chest roentgenograms obtained 3 months earlier and at hospital admission, revealed progressive infiltrative shadows in bilateral middle and lower lung fields and mild volume loss. Hematologic study showed polyclonal
BACKGROUND
Non-medical prescription opioid use (NMPOU) has become a major public health issue in the USA and is also increasing in Europe. However, little is known about neuropsychological associations of NMPOU-specifically regarding social cognition, which is essential for social functioning and
Previously, we identified noscapine as a small molecule inhibitor of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 pathway in hypoxic human glioma cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Noscapine is a nontoxic ingredient in cough medicine currently used in clinical trials for patients with non-Hodgkin's
Changium smyrnioides Wolff is a monotypic species of the genus Changium Wolff which is only found in eastern China. C. smyrnioides has been used as a traditional medicine for ages to treat cough, vomiting, nausea, megrim, and carbuncle. It is also widely used to brew medicated liquor and health tea
