    Notes: Morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G) is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which forms an outward transporter at the blood–brain barrier. Inhibition of P-gp may therefore be expected to cause increased CNS uptake of M6G. We directly assessed the spinal concentrations of M6G and its antinociceptive effects in rats following pharmacological inhibition of P-gp. Spinal cord tissue concentrations of M6G were assessed by microdialysis with probes transversally implanted through the dorsal horns of the spinal cord at level L4. Ten rats received M6G intravenously (0.018 mg/kg loading dose plus 0.00115 mg/kg/min for an 8-h infusion), five of them together with PSC833 to inhibit P-gp (32-h infusion, starting 24 h before the addition of M6G). Antinociceptive effects were explored by means of formalin tests. After having obtained evidence for enhanced CNS uptake and antinociception of M6G in the presence of PSC833, additional behavioural experiments were performed in another 32 rats to assess the dose dependency of the antinociceptive effects of M6G either with or without PSC833 in comparison with both PSC833 alone and placebo. Inhibition of P-gp increased the M6G concentrations in the spinal cord approximately three-fold whereas the plasma concentrations were increased only by a factor of 1.4, which resulted in a more than doubled spinal cord/plasma concentration ratio (from 0.08 ± 0.03 for M6G alone to 0.17 ± 0.08 for M6G plus PSC833). Antinociceptive effects of M6G were significantly enhanced by inhibition of P-gp. Inhibition of P-gp alters the transport of M6G across the blood–brain barrier, resulting in enhanced spinal cord uptake and enhanced antinociception.

    Notes: Abstract: Peripheral noxious stimuli have been shown to induce prostaglandin (PG) E2 release at the site of inflammation and in the spinal cord. The antiinflammatory and antinociceptive effects of cyclooxygenase-inhibiting drugs are thought to depend on the inhibition of PG synthesis. R-Flurbiprofen, however, does not inhibit cyclooxygenase activity in vitro but still produces antinociceptive effects. To find out whether R-flurbiprofen acts via inhibition of spinal PG release, concentrations of PGE2 and flurbiprofen in spinal cord tissue were assessed by microdialysis. The catheter was transversally implanted through the dorsal horns of the spinal cord at level L4. R- and S-flurbiprofen (9 and 27 mg kg-1, respectively) were administered intravenously 10-15 min before subcutaneous injection of formalin into the dorsal surface of one hindpaw. Flurbiprofen was rapidly distributed into the spinal cord with maximal concentrations after 30-45 min. Baseline PGE2 dialysate concentrations were 100.6 ± 6.4 pg ml-1 (mean ± SEM). After formalin injection they rose about threefold with a maximum of 299.4 ± 68.4 pg ml-1 at 7.5 min. After ∼ 1 h PGE2 levels returned to baseline. Both flurbiprofen enantiomers completely prevented the formalin-induced increase of spinal PGE2 release and reduced PGE2 concentrations below basal levels. S- and R-flurbiprofen at 9 mg kg-1 produced a minimum of 15.8 ± 5.2 and 27.7 ± 14.9 pg ml-1, respectively, and 27 mg kg-1S- and R-flurbiprofen resulted in 11.7 ± 1.7 and 9.3 ± 4.7 pg ml-1, respectively. PGE2 levels remained at the minimum up to the end of the observation period at 5 h. When 27 mg kg-1R-flurbiprofen was injected intravenously without subsequent formalin challenge, baseline immunoreactive PGE2 concentrations were not affected. S-Flurbiprofen (27 mg kg-1), however, led to a moderate reduction (∼40%). The data suggest that antinociception produced by R-flurbiprofen is mediated at least in part by inhibition of stimulated spinal PGE2 release and support the current view that increased spinal PGE2 release significantly contributes to nociceptive processing.

    Notes: Nociception evoked prostaglandin (PG) release in the spinal cord considerably contributes to the induction of hyperalgesia and allodynia. To evaluate the relative contribution of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and COX-2 in this process we assessed the effects of the selective COX-1 inhibitor SC560 and the selective COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib on formalin-evoked nociceptive behaviour and spinal PGE2 release. SC560 (10 and 20 mg/kg) significantly reduced the nociceptive response and completely abolished the formalin-evoked PGE2 raise. In contrast, celecoxib (10 and 20 mg/kg) was ineffective in both regards, i.e. the flinching behaviour was largely unaltered and the formalin-induced PGE2 raise as assessed using microdialysis was only slightly, not significantly reduced. This suggests that the formalin-evoked rapid PG release was primarily caused by COX-1 and was independent of COX-2. Mean free spinal cord concentrations of celecoxib during the formalin assay were 32.0 ± 4.5 nm, thus considerably higher than the reported IC50 for COX-2 (3–7 nm). Therefore, the lack of efficacy of celecoxib is most likely not to be a result of poor tissue distribution. COX-2 mRNA and protein expression in the spinal cord were not affected by microdialysis alone but the mRNA rapidly increased following formalin injection and reached a maximum at 2 h. COX-2 protein was unaltered up to 4 h after formalin injection. The time course of COX-2 up-regulation suggests that the formalin-induced nociceptive response precedes COX-2 protein de novo synthesis and may therefore be unresponsive to COX-2 inhibition. Considering the results obtained with the formalin model it may be hypothesized that the efficacy of celecoxib in early injury evoked pain may be less than that of unselective NSAIDs.

    Notes: Since the important contributions of Dürbaum and Dix, 30 years ago, velocity profile estimation procedures on horizontally layered and vertically heterogeneous media from seismic probing data have been based largely on hyperbolic moveout models and RMS and stacking velocity concepts. Re-examination of the fundamentals reveals that quantitative velocity heterogeneity and canonical valocity profiles have been implicit factors for moveout modelling and for profile inversion in the use of the Dix procedure. Heterogeneity h is the ratio (and vRMS the geometric or harmonic mean) of the path-average and time-average velocities for a raypath or, in a more restricted sense, for the normal ray belonging to a velocity profile. The canonical profile for a given velocity profile or profile segment is a moveout-equivalent monotonically increasing ramp-like profile.The ramp or constant gradient in depth is the simplest velocity profile approximator which can explicitly accommodate velocity heterogeneity. A ramp model structure is detailed which facilitates moveout simulation and model parameter estimation, and the parametric effects are explored. The horizontal offset range is quantified for which this model can give good moveout approximations.

    Notes: Three selfing and 13 crossing experiments between tetraploid individuals of Achillea ceretanica, Achillea collina, Achillea distans ssp.‘styriaca’ Saukel (ined.), and Achillea pratensis (Achillea millefolium complex, Compositae), five F1 crosses, three backcrosses and one further selfing experiment were carried out in order to study the inheritance of longipinenone (1) and its hydroxyl derivative (2). From these crossings, 1294 plants were studied by qualitative thin layer chromatography. Progenies from parent and F1 plants without longipinenones (0-type, ll) uniformly contained none of these two sesquiterpenes. All other crossing experiments showed typical segregation patterns of 0-type, L-type (longipinenone (1) without hydroxylongipinenone, L.hh) and H-type (hydroxy-longipinenone (2) and occasionally longipinenone, L.H.) in the ratio of 1 : 1 and 1 : 3. According to these results both derivatives are under dominant genetic control regulated by genes L and H, whereby hydroxylation takes place after synthesis of longipinenone (1).

    Notes: This prospective study was undertaken to examine the safety and to review the historical antecedents of an alternative method of paediatric anaesthetic induction other than halothane by mask. Two-thousand and five ASA I, II and III patients, 1 month-16 years of age initially received 70% N2O in O2 via a flavour-scented mask for 1–3 min, until adequate sedation was achieved. Venous cannulation was then undertaken, followed by an intravenous induction with thiopentone, and either atracurium or suxamethonium. The anaesthetist noted the occurrence of specific critical incidents during induction: excitement, coughing, vomiting, airway obstruction, laryngospasm, bradycardia for age, hypotension and/or hypoxaemia. The frequencies of all eight specific critical incidents on induction were extremely low in all ages. The studied alternative method of paediatric anaesthetic induction may be safer and more applicable in diverse clinical settings than a conventional halothane mask induction.

    Notes: The uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain 536 possesses two large, unstable DNA regions on its chromosome, which were termed pathogenicity islands (pais). Deletions of pais, which occur with relatively high frequency in vitro and in vivo, lead to avirulent mutants. The genetic determinants for production of haemolysin (Hly) and P-related fimbriae (Prf) are located in one of these islands. Deletion of this pathogenicity isiand (paill) not only removes the hly- and prf-specific genes, but also represses S fimbriae (Sfa), although the sfa genes of this virulence factor are not located on paill. We have identified two regulatory genes, prfB and prfl, of the prf gene cluster that are homologous to the sfa regulatory genes staB and SfaC, respectively. Mutations in sfaB and sfaC that inhibit transcription of the major fimbrial subunit gene sfaA were complemented by the homologous prf genes, suggesting communication between the two fimbrial gene clusters in the wild-type strain. Chromosomal mutagenesis of the two prf regulators in strain 536 repressed transcription of sfaA, detected by Northern hybridization and a chromosomal sfaA-lacZ fusion. In addition, haemagglutination assays measured a lower level of S fimbriae in these mutants. Expression of the cloned prf regulators in trans reversed the effect of the mutations; furthermore, constitutive expression of prfB or prfl could also overcome the repression of S fimbriae in a strain that had lost the pathogenicity islands. Virulence assays in mice established that the prf mutants were less virulent than the wild-type strain. The results demonstrate that cross-regulation of two unlinked virulence gene clusters together with the co-ordinate loss of large DNA regions significantly influences the virulence of an extraintestinal E. coli wild-type isolate.
