Two patients had uneventful phacoemulsification. After initial improvement, vision deteriorated because of cystoid macular edema (CME). In 1 patient, treatment with systemic nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs showed significant improvement in visual acuity but had to be discontinued because of side
The present study examined the effects of L-nitroarginine methylester (L-NAME, CAS 50903-99-6), a non-selective nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, indometacin (IND, CAS 3305-29-1), a non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor, and a combination of these agents (L-NAME + IND) on
The cobra venom factor (CVF) rat paw edema was inhibited by cyclooxygenase (indomethacin, piroxicam, aspirin), lipoxygenase (BW 755c) and thromboxane synthetase (imidazole) inhibitors as well as by dexamethasone and, at high doses, by paracetamol and phenacetin. No definite results were obtained
Results from previous studies indicate that injury in isolated rat lungs perfused with buffer containing phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and rat neutrophils (PMNs) is dependent on the production of reactive oxygen species and thromboxane (Tx) A2. The purpose of this study was to determine whether
Recently, the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX) has been recognized to exist as constitutive (COX-1) and inducible isoforms (COX-2). In previous studies, drugs that were inhibitors of both COX-1 and COX-2 failed to decrease brain edema formation or improve Neurological Severity Score (NSS) after closed
We investigated the role that lung-derived arachidonic acid metabolites play in the acute changes in pulmonary hemodynamics, airway function, and lung fluid balance following oleic acid-induced injury in the isolated blood free perfused lung. A bolus injection of oleic acid (OA) emulsion (12 mg)
According to the aim of the simultaneous and sequential inhibition of key enzymes of the arachidonic acid cascade, combinations of inhibitors of the phospholipase A2 (PLA2), cyclooxygenase (COX) and of lipoxygenases (LOX) were administered to rats with carrageenin edema and adjuvant arthritis,
We infused A23187, a calcium ionophore, into the pulmonary circulation of dextran-salt-perfused isolated rabbit lungs to release endogenous arachidonic acid. This led to elevations in pulmonary arterial pressure and to pulmonary edema as measured by extravascular wet-to-dry weight ratios. The
BACKGROUND
Vitex negundo L. (Verbenaceae) is a hardy plant widely distributed in the Indian subcontinent and used for treatment of a wide spectrum of health disorders in traditional and folk medicine, some of which have been experimentally validated. In present study, we aimed to investigate the
Active oxygen species can cause lung injury. Although a direct action on endothelial cells is proposed, the possibility exists that they might cause injury via mediators. We considered that active oxygen species would stimulate the generation of cyclooxygenase metabolites, which then alter pulmonary
Ten new 2(4-hydroxy-3-benzoyl) benzamide-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives (10a-j) were synthesized by coupling 3-benzoyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (5) with 2-amino-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (9a-j). The structures of these compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H, 13C NMR, and mass spectra, and also by
BACKGROUND
The addition of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug to the regimen of a patient with treated hypertension can cause a destabilization of blood pressure.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to describe physician-reported management of clinically significant edema and/or destabilized
We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on carrageenan-induced inflammatory model in association with peripheral and spinal COX-2 expression. EA with 2, 15 and 120 Hz, especially 2 Hz, had significant inhibitory effects on the developing of edema and hyperalgesia,
Cerebrovascular dysfunction, characterized by compromise of the blood-brain barrier and formation of cerebral edema, is common during the acute period after brain irradiation and may contribute to delayed pathology (e.g. vascular collapse, white matter necrosis) that leads to functional deficits.
Inhibitors of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism and other pharmacologic agents were evaluated against ear edema produced in mice by tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA) or AA. Drugs were administered orally and topically either 30 min prior to AA or 30 min after TPA, except for steroids which were
