Interactive effect of sevoflurane with isradipine or inclomethacin on spontaneous contractile activity of isolated pregnant rat myometrium
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2004)
Volatile anesthetics, calcium antagonists and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit contractile activity of myometrial smooth muscle. The aim of this study was to investigate the interactive effect of sevoflurane ...
YC-1, a nitric oxide-independent activator of soluble guanylate cyclase, inhibits the spontaneous contractions of isolated pregnant rat myometrium
(JAPANESE PHARMACOLOGICAL SOC, 2004)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of YC-1 (3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzyl indazole) on spontaneous contractions and levels of cyclic GMP (cGMP) of myometrial strips isolated from pregnant rats. ...
The role of K+ channels on the inhibitor effect of sevoflurane in pregnant rat myometrium
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2002)
Volatile anesthetics and K+ channel openers inhibit spontaneous contractions in myometrial smooth muscle. Volatile anesthetics modulate K+ channel activity We investigated the role of two K+ channel blockers on the effect ...
Vasorelaxant effect of opioid analgesics on the isolated human radial artery
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2006)
Background and objective: Arterial grafts are prone to vasospasm. Opiold analgesics are commonly used in the perioperative course of cardiac surgical procedures. Therefore, we investigated the direct effects of morphine, ...
Effect of L-NAME on decreased ileal muscle contractility induced by peritonitis in rats
(W B SAUNDERS CO, 2002)
Background/Purpose: It is now well established that intestinal inflammation is associated with disturbed contractility. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of peritonitis on longitudinal ileum smooth muscle ...
Comparison of effects of cyclooxygenase inhibitors on myometrial contraction and constriction of ductus arteriosus in rats
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2004)
The aim of this study was to compare the tocolytic effect of a selective cylooxygenase-2 inhibitor, DFU (5,5-dimethyl-3(3-fluorophenyl)4-(4-methylsulphonyl)phenyl-2(5H)-furanone), indomethacin and nimesulide on myometrial ...
Prevention of postoperative adhesion formation in rat uterine horn model by nimesulide: a selective COX-2 inhibitor
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2001)
BACKGROUND: Pelvic surgery is one of the main causes of intraperitoneal (i.p.) adhesions that create various medical problems including pelvic pain, bowel obstructions and female infertility. A rat model was used to ...
Effects of ceftriaxone sodium on in vitro gallbladder contractility in guinea pigs
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2004)
Background/Purpose. It has been reported that ceftriaxone may induce the formation of gallstones. Changes of gallbladder motility may play a role in this phenomenon. The present study was designed to analyze the gallbladder ...
